This song throttles you with it's power. Every aspect of it --- Dio's voice, Blackmore's solo, those splashy drums, that bumping bass. Honestly, why isn't this song regarded with the likes of Kashmir? It's incredible, and it makes you wanna slay a goddamn dragon.
23 people can go burn in the depths of hell. what the fuck did they hit that button for. those cocksuckers can go suck a fuckin dick. cunt peices of shit. sorry for the language but.. i'm tellin the truth!
Never liked this mix, hate those flanger FX. Alternate version (Los Angeles Mix on Deluxe Edition) makes this song sound MUCH better. Though this song is still a monumental masterpiece.
Dio is just one of the better rock singers ever, he reach some vocal legends (even if he is a metal/rock legend too) like Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury or Paul McCartney, in this song
@splint480 No offense,but I have a prejudice for Dio.I've listened to his voice since the '70's.The range in his voice,and the way he could hold a note hasn't been copied by many.
even though this song is compared to kashmir or sounding like zeppelin...lets just say this song kicks every single one of zeppelins songs and they wish they could write anything close to this.
God was born to the drum intro, arriving exactly at the point of the first guitar riff. 'Shut up!' You cry, and yet it could be true because Stargazer is timeless magic and worthy of the worshipped. 'Shut up!' still you cry, and I smile, knowing it could be true..
@PassengersMusic777 You can't compare Ritchie with Eddie VH, they are different styles and different skills. No need to say Ritchie surpasses Eddie by far. And No, you don't need to say Blackmore.
i saw a comment about how this generation is ruuining music im also 15 years old and u dnt know how terrible i feel for my generation i dnt want to leave in this planet anymore if i could go back in time to witness this beutifull music i would :3
@Celsusification opeth is influenced greatly by them and have tremendous respect for blackmore and Dio. did a pretty good cover of catch the rainbow as well. Rainbow and Opeth both superb bands
@parabola1212 I was at Bloodstock in 2010, when Opeth filled in for Heaven and Hell. Then played Catch the Rainbow live, in memory of him, and I had tears in my eyes at the end, and so much respect in my heart.
