Bobby Rondinelli will always be known as the drummer who played with Blackmore, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult etc. Great drummers are innovators, there at the beginning of the inception of something, from nothing: its seminal, embryonic flutterings in a garage, basement, forgotten slimy dive on a magikal evening when The Gods Of Rock smiled upon them and the audience!
This was in 1982, this drumsolo is so cool and original, especially the part when Bobby launches his drumsticks upon de frontcymbals into the crowd...
i dont want to get in to the WHOS better thing but remember,THE man IN BLACK has taken many music lessons,traveled,much of his life,reads some music,done countless sessions that will never no,plays the cello,piano,drums,fingerpicking,flatpicking,song writing,knows some orchestration,i love what he does here there and every were.he throw his axe down.SOUNDS GOOD TO MEEEEEEEE
It is a shame Ritchie Blackmore has forsaken rock music to play medieval crap. Can he be any more Spinal Tap?Instead of opening for puppet shows he should be headlining Renaissance festivals and medieval theme restaurants. Blackmore's Night played a gig in Lakewood,NJ and demanded fans close to the stage wear medieval clothing.I wasn't about to piss away money on clothes I could only wear again on Halloween.How does a great guitar player fall so far? His mom and girlfriend screen his calls.
again, how can there be ANY thumbs down on this??? and AGAIN, to all those that gave it a thumbs down, who and where are you??? Do you REALLY think you could do half as good??? BRING IT!!!
Bobby cranks on the skins and is an awesome drum teacher as well - he is going to help me make my band as great as I can help it get on the kit. Thanks Bobby! Ladi Di from Amethyst Roxx

bobby is my drum teacher!!! my dad takes me to his shows ( not at stadiums or nothing like dat but him playing wi his brother teddy) and i guest drum it makes me think i take lessons from a famous musican lol
And 20 years later Bobby Rondinelli was playing with Blue Oyster Cult. It'd be VERY interesting to hear him compare and contrast playing with TWO guitar gods, Ritchie Blackmore and Buck Dharma...
Blackmore IS an awesome guitarist and musician. IMO he is one of the very few musicians from the sixties who has improved with time. If one sits and listens to and hears all the stuff that he is doing with Blackmore's Night even if one does not prefer that genre one can hear how amazing he is. Try Rainbow Blues and Diamonds and Rust for starters.
This was in 1982? Wow, that's just magnificent! Modern drummers didn't invented anything except speeding up double bass drumming and blast beats. Plus, these guys weren't using triggers or any electronic shit like that... Give some respect to these true skilled musicians.
never impressed me people who play with hands...that kind of think doesn't make you a better drummer...but Rainbow were a gret band with great musicians for sure...
Remember watching this in the late 80s with my brother admiring Ritchie playing guitar. A little bit older now and beginning to appreciate the GREAT drummers at the time.
I think John Bonham played with his hands before Tommy of Bobby R. Before that someone else did it. Probably Krupa or Chick Webb or someone like that. you guys are funny.
That's where Tommy Aldrich took the idea for his drum solo from!! Hitting the drums with bare hands and the double bass drum licks and rhythms... Rondinelli back then was ahead of his time. He is a great drummer!
Bobby is one of the underrated greats. i've PMed with him on MySpace & he has never failed to answer a question, graciously accept a compliment & thank me for my "kind words" (his words). class act as a musician & to fans.
I lived around the corner from Bobbie growing up in Port Jeff, New York. I can remember watching him play in his basement. Damn could he play. His brother Teddy, was an incredible guitar player as well. Truly a talented family. Thanks for the memories Bobbie.
both of them are greati saw bobby in Dallas Texas like 5 years ago he was playing with Blue Oyster Cult and he is big, goodand profesional,!long live rondinelli! you have fans here too in MEXICO like ME GOd blessyou bye,bye
He's one of the best drummers I have ever seen, some people dont like his style but that is because it is his own.He co-wrote a book, the encyclopedia to playing double bass drum. he taught my daughter how to play drums. He is a great guy,not puffed up, doesn't brag about who hes played with,still the nice guy he always was.hey Slayerxy, I probably know your mom too.. he used to play at a place called Tueys in Setauket with his brothe Teddy in a band called Tusk in 76 go ask her if she saw them
Bobby was with "The Lizards" when I last heard about him. They were here at Turkey a few years ago, performed an hour before Glenn Hughes. I'm glad to have the chance of seeing them both.

I can add something to this; I was at that concert, it was Aug. 13th 1982, MTV was responsible for the crappy sound at this show because it was a live show they taped at the old convention center in san antonio, TX. My seat was right on the front row in front of Blackmore, but an MTV camera took my seat; After a few minutes, they took me backstage and I hung out with Ritchie and the band. I was tripping on the best Acid I ever took, and the band got stoned on my weed that night.....
guys..i swear on my life on my ggrabd fathers grave..my mom went to school with bobby and they are great frends..he lives on long island near me..i no where bobby plays and his new bands name..and blackmore goes to my dads restauront..my dads frends with richie blackmore but ive only met him once
Actually this video which is live between the eyes is a terribly sloppy performance by Ritchie the obvious overdubs later in the video are just sad. Great drum solo Turner sounded good but if I was Blackmore I would have never put this out.
@neverbefore lmao. There's no way hammet can compare with Blackmore but Ritchie does blow here. He was just jerking around on the guitar. I guess he's feeling uninspired.
i admire a lot of guitar heros. eddie van halen, satriani, srv, vai, yngwie, petrucci, janick gers, gary moore, kee marcelo, andy timmons, jason becker, marty friedman, eric clapton, mark knopfler, kirk hammet, randy rhodes and keep list them if u can......BUT Ritchie Blackmore forever at the top!
just because you can play fast like malmsteen doesnt make you gifted, it just means you got locked into a room with a guitar for a few summers... doesnt say much about their taste
No. You misunderstand. I mean Malmsteen is more gifted technically. You CANNOT doubt that statement; but Blackmore is the original and best, no doubt. Malmsteen could TECHNICALLY play anything by Blackmore; Ritchie couldn't dream of playing Yngwie's stuff. My point was Ritchie is a better soloist- more feel, more sense of what is appropriate. He is the best.
Have you ever fucking heard the stuff Ritchie plays I have two dvds Rainbow in 77 and Deep Purple in 74 easily tops malmsteens speed and feel no doubt about it
A few of you mention Malmsteen- he is perhaps the most gifted electric guitarist I have ever seen or heard. BUT!!! He hasn't got a clue how to use his ability. Zero sense of what is appropriate. Ritchie B is a FAR better MUSICIAN. And he was running rings around Hendrix too in '69...

Blackmore not to more than noise in their solos, this is not music, music malmsteen ago and is talented, this naming blackmore as a god and was not more than one type without talent and good luck
Man , Rondinelli is the shit. His skills alongside his impeccable taste and phrasing makes him great. Just look at his live stuff with Sabbath , fucking amazing !!!
Can somebody please find Ritchie Blackmore and tell him to stop playing this ridiculous "Baroke" music, with his wife, and get RAINBOW back together...!!! Now that would be a tour for the ages...!!!
Blackmore not to more than noise in their solos, this is not music, music malmsteen ago and is talented, this naming blackmore as a god and was not more than one type without talent and good luck
If you really think Malmsteen is more talanted than Blackmore, you are waaaay of course. Blackmore is the man behind the worlds famous riffs such as Smoke on the Water, Strange Kind of Women, Highway Star, Child in Time and many more. He got the worlds most famous solos. Malmsteen is NOTHING. His only skill is that he plays arpeggio scales really fast. Malmsteen has admitted many times that he is just an imitator of Blackmore.
Aldridge is absolutely nothing compared to Bobby. Aldridge does the same thing all over again , no matter who he plays with. Look at Bobby's stuff these days, he has grown so much . I saw Aldridge in the small club 2 years ago , same shit.
This is a great video. Rondinelli is an awesome drummer, and Blackmore an underrated legend of a guitarist. But... people are people, and nobody's perfect. That's what makes us interesting.
Generally speaking, people rank Blackmore lower than Hendrix and Page, or even Malmsteem even though he's just as good (and Malmsteem copies him without admitting it).
Blackmore not to more than noise in their solos, this is not music, music malmsteen ago and is talented, this naming blackmore as a god and was not more than one type without talent and good luck
bobby is probably the best drummer blackmore or iommi has ever played with. not that he played on their best albums but just talking about his drumming
To me they are different guitarists. Blackmore can write songs, I don't even hear the same league of skill from Yngwie. Although, my guess is Yngwie's probably got far more speed than Ritchie. As far as drummers, I like Rondinelli, always did. But he still isn't even close to Cozy Powell.
i have noticed that in a recent view of Yngwie j. Malmsteen, he denies ritchie blackmore as one of his influences. I am not a guitarist but that is sad. Yngwie basically copied the shit out of ritchie. HE has played with many musicians who ritchie was associated with and his Fender very similat to Ritchie's.
Some people have not a clue what they're saying here. 1.Ritchie is one of the worlds best 2.Rondinelli is good but could not hold Cozy's sticks 3.What are you smoking?
blackmore is blackmore u can't mistake his playing with no one else goes for malmsteen they r really unique anyway on to the video by far the most entertaining drum solos i've seen well done
One of the many great things about Ritchie Blackmore's playing is that he not only can play the right things right, he also can make the wrong things right as well. This makes him an allround better entertainer. This is the sort of stuff that influenced Eddie Van Halen, a guy who also understands what unorthodox playing is about. Boring but talented guitarists like Steve Vai don't understand it.
This is hilarious. I loved Blackmore when I was growing up, still love his guitar playing but he's such a tosser. But as far as tossers go that drummer takes it from Blackmore totally. ha ha ha its worse than watching someone wank!
I love blackmore, and like lots of malmsteen stuff, not much his newest material. But Blackmore is a heavy influence in rocknroll for musicians, yngwie probably has wet dreams with him. I prefer malmsteen songs than solos, they are repetitive and i think too much minor harmonic classical stuff is just bad taste to abuse of and yngwie SUCKS playin blues. You can understand teenager guitarrist been fans of fat yngwie, but eventually if they mature as musicians, will leave himm behind.
Bobby R. is a great drummer!! I just don't understand how the **** anyone can say "Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists in the world" He's so damn overrated it's making me sick. Like this so called guitar-solo...it stinks, it's noisey, it smells cow-shit and all bad stuff you possibly can think of!!
You are wrong. And this isn't an actual guitar solo, it's just Blackmore doing some noisemaking. If you wanna hear actual Blackmore solos, listen to "Wring That Neck" from Powerhouse. If you still call him overrated after hearing that one, your ears are broken.
As far as I understand you really didn't listen Blackmore very much, as Yngtchie says this is just noisemaking here, no real guitar solo. People at 70's and 80's liked things like this at concerts, but this does not represent Blackmore...
Well, I've heard most of the classic D.P. songs and a load full of Rainbow stuff as well. Of course the ol' man can play his instrument (perhpas i was a lil too harsh in my previous post) but i.m.o he's still overrated as in being what many people claims "one of the greatest guitarists in the world" Sure he has done some cool riffs through out the years, I'll give him that....but solowise he's just plain boredom.
Thankfully Yngwie Malmsteen, just to name one of the worlds greatest, took whatever influences he could get out of the guy and made it more fun and exciting to listen to. Already as a teen, Yngwie did exceed Blackies skills in playing. Not only that he's faster...also perfect timing, a great sound and killer-riffs you could die for!! Anyway, this thread should be focused on Bobby Rondinelli so I'll shut down the guitar-yacking blabbering machine now :)
I'm sorry man, but Ritchie Blackmore is actually a very underrated guitarist! Seriously, even though many see him as the greatest guitarist of all time, he is less known than for instance Jimmy Page, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai and more guitarist. So I don't agree with you there mate!
Blackmore made very good money but you are right. He was overshadowed by Jimi Hendrix - they were really contemporaries. This is a great clip. Dave Rosenthal is a friend of mine. Check out Happy The Man!
ritchie is heavily under estimated in press but not under his colleages, most of them don' t want to say a bad word about him, because they now how good he is.
and yes you are sick, Blackmore is out of this world,
ask Yngwie, he will tell you who is the best guitar player of the seventies... Mr Blackmore
このドラムソロを初めて観たのは今からかれこれ27年ほど前。当時ドラムを始めたばかりの私は高校生、友達とバンドを組んだばかりでしたが、このボブのパフォーマンスを初めて観た時の衝撃と言ったら！！本気で神業かと思いました。テクなしとか能無しとか、言われたい放題のボブですが、決してそんな事はない！！このパフォーマンスは最高！！ステージパフォーマンスは客を喜ばせたもん勝ち、今観ても本当に素晴らしいパフォーマンスです。いいぞ、ボブ！！夢をありがとう！！

If you really think Malmsteen is more talanted than Blackmore, you are waaaay of course. Blackmore is the man behind the worlds famous riffs such as Smoke on the Water, Strange Kind of Women, Highway Star, Child in Time and many more. He got the worlds most famous solos. Malmsteen is NOTHING. His only skill is that he plays arpeggio scales really fast. Malmsteen has admitted many times that he is just an imitator of Blackmore.

Aldridge is absolutely nothing compared to Bobby. Aldridge does the same thing all over again , no matter who he plays with. Look at Bobby's stuff these days, he has grown so much . I saw Aldridge in the small club 2 years ago , same shit.

This is a great video. Rondinelli is an awesome drummer, and Blackmore an underrated legend of a guitarist. But... people are people, and nobody's perfect. That's what makes us interesting.

Generally speaking, people rank Blackmore lower than Hendrix and Page, or even Malmsteem even though he's just as good (and Malmsteem copies him without admitting it).

yeah he does but he has no style like blackmore i would have to say the worst guitar sound and the most boring show i have ever seen!

To me they are different guitarists. Blackmore can write songs, I don't even hear the same league of skill from Yngwie. Although, my guess is Yngwie's probably got far more speed than Ritchie. As far as drummers, I like Rondinelli, always did. But he still isn't even close to Cozy Powell.

i have noticed that in a recent view of Yngwie j. Malmsteen, he denies ritchie blackmore as one of his influences. I am not a guitarist but that is sad. Yngwie basically copied the shit out of ritchie. HE has played with many musicians who ritchie was associated with and his Fender very similat to Ritchie's.

blackmore is blackmore u can't mistake his playing with no one else goes for malmsteen they r really unique anyway on to the video by far the most entertaining drum solos i've seen well done

One of the many great things about Ritchie Blackmore's playing is that he not only can play the right things right, he also can make the wrong things right as well. This makes him an allround better entertainer. This is the sort of stuff that influenced Eddie Van Halen, a guy who also understands what unorthodox playing is about. Boring but talented guitarists like Steve Vai don't understand it.

This is hilarious. I loved Blackmore when I was growing up, still love his guitar playing but he's such a tosser. But as far as tossers go that drummer takes it from Blackmore totally. ha ha ha its worse than watching someone wank!

great vid!!
I love blackmore, and like lots of malmsteen stuff, not much his newest material. But Blackmore is a heavy influence in rocknroll for musicians, yngwie probably has wet dreams with him. I prefer malmsteen songs than solos, they are repetitive and i think too much minor harmonic classical stuff is just bad taste to abuse of and yngwie SUCKS playin blues. You can understand teenager guitarrist been fans of fat yngwie, but eventually if they mature as musicians, will leave himm behind.

Bobby R. is a great drummer!! I just don't understand how the **** anyone can say "Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists in the world" He's so damn overrated it's making me sick. Like this so called guitar-solo...it stinks, it's noisey, it smells cow-shit and all bad stuff you possibly can think of!!
evuuhl 5 years ago
You are wrong. And this isn't an actual guitar solo, it's just Blackmore doing some noisemaking. If you wanna hear actual Blackmore solos, listen to "Wring That Neck" from Powerhouse. If you still call him overrated after hearing that one, your ears are broken.
Yngtchie 5 years ago
As far as I understand you really didn't listen Blackmore very much, as Yngtchie says this is just noisemaking here, no real guitar solo. People at 70's and 80's liked things like this at concerts, but this does not represent Blackmore...

Well, I've heard most of the classic D.P. songs and a load full of Rainbow stuff as well. Of course the ol' man can play his instrument (perhpas i was a lil too harsh in my previous post) but i.m.o he's still overrated as in being what many people claims "one of the greatest guitarists in the world" Sure he has done some cool riffs through out the years, I'll give him that....but solowise he's just plain boredom.
evuuhl 5 years ago
Thankfully Yngwie Malmsteen, just to name one of the worlds greatest, took whatever influences he could get out of the guy and made it more fun and exciting to listen to. Already as a teen, Yngwie did exceed Blackies skills in playing. Not only that he's faster...also perfect timing, a great sound and killer-riffs you could die for!! Anyway, this thread should be focused on Bobby Rondinelli so I'll shut down the guitar-yacking blabbering machine now :)

I'm sorry man, but Ritchie Blackmore is actually a very underrated guitarist! Seriously, even though many see him as the greatest guitarist of all time, he is less known than for instance Jimmy Page, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai and more guitarist. So I don't agree with you there mate!
maghole 4 years ago
Blackmore made very good money but you are right. He was overshadowed by Jimi Hendrix - they were really contemporaries. This is a great clip. Dave Rosenthal is a friend of mine. Check out Happy The Man!

This is ingenious! Noisemaking it is. This is a show, remember?
Blackmore is underrated instead of overrated!

ritchie is heavily under estimated in press but not under his colleages, most of them don' t want to say a bad word about him, because they now how good he is.
and yes you are sick, Blackmore is out of this world,
ask Yngwie, he will tell you who is the best guitar player of the seventies... Mr Blackmore
