can anyone tell what song hes singing in the very beginning..it rocks..thanx for ur help!

"Hiroshima Mon Amour", from Alcatrazz's first album "No parole from rock'n'roll".

Turner looks like, sounds like and sings like..............a fag. It's fucking embarrassing

Bonnet was at his very best with Micheal Schenker. His singing on the Assault Attack album is the best performance in the rock genre. Desert Song is a finished masterpiece. Samurai is unbelievably well sung- it's almost inhuman and godly

No wonder Schenker never let another singer perform Samurai because they would run out of breath, choke and die before the end of the song

alacatrazz was a fucking great band it had malmsteen and vai in it just a shame it broke up could have got blackmore to rejoin graham in the band would have been like a rainbow reunion

What a jerk! So many talented people who are Lesbian Gay Bisexuals men and women and it's hateful people like you make me sick. Without Gay and Bisexuals people you wouldn't have Rock and Roll or Hard Rock or Heavy Metal. Why do I bother he not worthy to kiss Elton Johns' ass.

@set2light I absolutely love Bonnet's voice but Turner was good, do not say bullshit that about him.

Blonde hair, sunglasses, big balls...this guys basically Duke Nukem. (google it)

[sweenykim]

Graham Bonnet is one of those rare unsung talents whose voice spoke for itself. Image was secondary. While he might not have visually "fit in," the talent fits like a glove....

[pfeltovich]

Sadly, G. Bonnet was released after only one performance-Castle Donnington 1980..

Well, there is no need to compare Joe to Graham, cause they are two different voices. I must say that I love them both (and Ronnie too). Basically I like singers who have somewhat similar voice to Joe, but I think Graham was better for Rainbow. I also like his attitude and personality better, cause he might wear too bright clothes or jump around the stage like a fool, but that's him, he's only being himself, and he's not trying to copy anyone else! :) GO SIR BONNET!

Bonnet is one of the very, very few that could get away with saying "take me for my voice, not the way I look" in the entertainment industry.

Bonnet is a talented singer no doubt, but his lyrical content isn't as interesting as Dio's. Imo Stargazer is the best song Rainbow ever released...
