Graham Bonnet, dedicated to Ronnie James Dio, 28th of May 2010, "JIMI" Club, Moscow, Russia

[fbendz]

Kree Nakoorie has one of the greatest intros of all time, along with Sirius by Alan Parson Project (the Chicago Bulls presentation intro).

STILL THE MAN.GREAT TRIBUTE

[chickenbeek]

Graham is one of the weirdest unlikely rock/metal singers ever, lol, but man the voice - he's one of the best of all time along with Dio.

[csplendrig]

who's playing guitar? he nailed the solo. Good job

[gjm1971]

@csplendrig Howie Simon - Guitars (Talisman, Jeff Scott Soto Band, Alcoholica, Graham Bonnet, Ken Tamplin...etc!).

[jfutach]

He was THE BEST in his time. No competition whatsoever. A pitty he's lost his voice these days.....

[garybmufc]

Have any of you fuckers ever actually heard the Album ???? this is crap - period - Graham is/was a legend and needs to stay home and stop fucking crucifying his earler stuff .......please its gone mate leave it alone

[brraaanno]

Songs sounds good - but the sound sucks that much I cant even listen to that more than 20 s. I would like to listen to that song with normal sound so if somebody knows the name, pls let me know it. thanks

[theaxis2000]

@brraaanno its called Kree Nakoorie from the alcatrazz album featuring yngwie malmsteen on guitar. you can find it here on youtube

[Gibsonrocker89]

[italianman2112]

Honestly how in the F$&#*$#K can you keep pounding your vocals and go and go and go and go ?????!!!?? He is not human ! Ive seen guys with this type of vocal singing and they are good for about 10 years. Long live IRON THROAT bonnet

[pcpablo7]

My favorite singer is Graham Bonnet.

[halford3256]

This gets funnier every time I see it..

[halford3256]

what the the fuck is this??..hes always outta tune..every video I see of him...Hes gotta lay off the coke and gin..

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@halford3256 His studio material is so tough to sing that he has problems with high notes live. Just check performances like "Stand in Line", "Only One Woman", "Breaking the Chains" or "Hiroshima (Mon Amour)", insane voice.

[halford3256]

@GoodGuitarSolos ...I know...I do dig his voice..STUDIO...he just cant pull it off live...its not just one note...its a mess..its too bad he does have an unique voice...Ballsy..

[Lyraka]

@halford3256 Yes, Graham always had that ballsy sound, it really set him apart from the girly vocalists before and after. Graham never sounded Glam, and the character of his voice really elevated some of the more Glammy stuff he sang over, like Since You Been Gone, Dancer.

[LBjim]

@Lyraka agreed!!..When he was in Rainbow, all of one album, Down to Earth, he delivered. I wish they would have kept him, but you know, Blackmore. He wanted more of an American sound so he got Joe Lynn Turner with the hope of becoming more commericial which they did..

[wenglish1968]

@GoodGuitarSolos "Only one woman" doesn't surprise me too much considering he's been singing it for over 40 years. The unfortunate reality is that no matter the gift, talent, or training, no one's voice stays at their prime forever.

[halford3256]

what the the fuck is this??..hes always outta tune..every video I see of him...

[cloudvol7]

It's hard to believe two of the world's most amazing singer's were in the same band.Dio's a legend,and so is Graham bonnet R.I.P Dio...

[Lyraka]

He gives Ronnie credit for having first helped him with heavy metal vocal technique. Graham was one of the few in the world that could have handled Ronnie's vocal duties in Rainbow, and I always loved Down to Earth and Assault Attack. Not that anyone could replace Ronnie, but Graham is great in his own right. I'm proud to have had Graham sing for my own project, Lyraka.

[yossirocksu]

@Lyraka Yes, indeed! And I was surprise to see you, here, in YouTube, half an year before we get to know!

[Lyraka]

@yossirocksu Hello! I try not to miss any Graham videos, I've been a fan for a long time.

[WookietheChowChow]

That is so true, he was very broken up.....about Dio that night, very sad...

[Lyraka]

As heartbreaking as the death of Ronnie James Dio was and is, the look on Graham's face from around :50 is beautifully mournful, in fact it's easy to see pain at the loss of a friend for quite a bit of this video.

[overkilling84]

@yossirocksu The key is far lower on this performance.

[yossirocksu]

@overkilling84 well, I checked. Yes, lower but not that far. The volume of his voice is still incredible!

[WookietheChowChow]

He is one of the greatest vocalist of all time.

[yossirocksu]

I cannot believe that he's already 60.....

He doesn't have to drop the key and the volume of his voice never changes.....

Long live, Graham!

[halford3256]

@yossirocksu ..he sure needs to drop something..besides a nut...
