I’m 73, and the 60s-80s were the absolute best times for music. None of the garbage today compares to what we had. All I need now is a time machine to go back and stay there. They can have this future crap
Me too... please take me back with you.. I so desperately want to go back.. hopefully we could go back beautiful and with money this time..lol not broke again 🤦🏻with the power of imagination and a couple of old VHS tapes, we can transport back...lol..🙋🏻
I'M 70 years old but until l look in the mirror, l feel like l'm still 19! There is no time or place l would have rather been born. There was a music renazonce, that was the best we will ever see.
Thank You ... I believe You got that right ! Guitar Player's as Mr. Blackmore laid the Foundation for His Patented Riffs and Guitar Expertise are kind of Out of this World ! Leaves Mr this to say : THANK You Wholeheartedly !!! ♦️
I was 17 when this came out, and IT was played on MTV all the time. I used to have the same hair style, and leather jacket. I'm telling you, growing up from the 60s to the 80s was great in countless ways. A true blast.
Hell yeah you're lucky.. I wish I could have grown up in the 60s . I believe I should be older than I am but I wish we could go back to the way things were. I'm disgusted with mostly everything that goes on these days such as trans men going into the woman's bathroom 🤢 and all things associated with that. Music is beyond terrible amongst way to many other things 🤦🏼♀️.. things need to change.. but we all the answer to that 💩
Yes, this reminds me of when i was in High School with my 77 Pontiac Trans Am and cranking the pioneer speakers with this Song !!!! Im 56 and life was soo much easier with out all these tech gadgets .. When Dating was approaching a Girl in School you liked and asking for Date to the Movies ... Miss those days !!!
Ставь лайк если слушаешь это в 2024м. Мне 29 и мой отец растил меня на этих песнях. Теперь я понимаю, что значит настоящая музыка. Дай бог здоровья всем этим легендарным ребятам, а тем, кого нет с нами - светлая память.
@@leeinwis When I was little, our religious kindergarten teacher told us it was because God needed them back up in heaven. When I got older, I was told that people have to die to make room for the new ones...best people to ask are folks who have had a near-death experience (NDE)...but, even there, the answers vary wildly. My mom was ready to go...her body was finished, even though 'she' wasn't. At least, she doesn't have to battle her own mortality, any more.
If you are part of the MTV 80s generation this is one of those songs that take you right back to that sliver of time in our lives that no other generation will Ever understand..
I love the way Ritchie transitions, and melds notes together in each single phrase. His melodies are so beautiful, yet vulgar, at the same time. He plays with pure magic, love, and anger. All emotions in ever solo. That's why he is my favorite of all time. The G.O.A.T!
My idea of heaven is going back to the music, times, and memories of the 70's and 80's, with only the good and none of the bad. I kind of do that in my mind and imagination when I come here and play these great song and reminisce. But it'll be a thousand times better in my vision of Heaven, no memory glitches, and no one missing. I'm 57, and I feel like I'm just killing time now waiting for my time to go, and I'm so looking forward to it. But my time spent here, enjoying these great hits and reading everyone's comments, it makes me feel like I'm really home for a while, and a part of something truly special with all of you, that I really belong. And that's a damn good feeling, I can tell you. Thanks for that everyone. 🙂👍
I Totally Understand and Get what you wrote ... You can't fix stupid .. That is the crazy lazy non physical world that sadly exists now.. Peace to you Brother, Tom 🍀✌ 🎶🎸🌌🔥👍
Truly timeless, I'm 62 and for me it will always be the older rock, if you have the time you need to give Rare Earth a listen a group from the late 60's , played at Woodstock
I love Rare Earth. Their live album, looks like a backpack bag , is great. Has a 23 minute version of " Get Ready" plus all their hits. Pete Rivera, the drummer was the lead singer. I' m 72.
I was 17 in 80. 60 now and focus alot on the 60s through 80s. Simplier times , best music with ensembles, vocals and of course videos. Clicking my heels to go back to the beginning, the 60s >
All praise to the true and living God, I'm 66 years old and a Vietnam Veteran, grew up in a little town of Rockport Texas and man remember all the bands in the late sixties and to mid seventies, that was music growing up rodeoing and even surfing 🏄♂️ and getting stoned. Man what a Time to be alive.
I saw them in Dallas Texas back in 1985.... Bad ass times, crusing with my best girl in my 1979 trans am blasting Rainbow on my Kenwood tape deck.... Good times, good times.
This song is one of the earliest form of power ballads ! When rock got carried away, they realized that a beautiful song was crafted not beaten to a pulp!
Power ballads are depressing IMO. This is not. I would call this rock just with limited phrasing and low energy (low impact). But big on the melody. Good stuff.
*This Is The Age Where Music Took Talent all The Way To The Top With No Synthesizers To Mask Voices Just Raw Playing Skills.... Who's Listening To This Gem In 2019 - 2020?*
I listen to the music from that period of musical renaissance and realize that there will never again be the same explosion of musical talent which we were privileged to be a part of during that magical era. We had such an overabundance of super talented musicians, songwriters and singers that many groups like Rainbow, Triumph, Aldo Nova and others didn't get the recognition they would have recieved at another period of time. The music of the 60's thru the early 90's was magical. The lyrics expressed emotions that were spoken in every day life: Viet Nam, peace, love, life, personal beliefs about politics to love. I miss the music of that era but fortunately music never dies!!
Why was that era so potent in music? Easy, no computers or video games (or very primitive ones), a hot postwar economy and the Cold War to drive the people's hedonism.
Nice to see someone mentioning Aldo Nova, I was still behind the Iron Curtain in Europe..and adored the music of Aldo Nova, still listen to his albums now and then.
My senior prom 1982 (Allen Park, Michigan) we got a room at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit to keep the party going. The next morning Rainbow's bus was parked outside and the drummer was leaning on it and spinning his drumstick!....coolest thing ever!!!
I'm 17 and i was raised on this music from my parents, seems like everyone is in a rush to tell everyone it was better back in the day. I bet when my generation is way older we'll be saying that to our kids too.
This was the greatest era in rock music! Hands down! I have most all the classics on my phone. Over the last several years I’ve had my grandchildren listening to this stuff including this song. At least three of my grandchildren have chosen classic rock as their preferred genre. I absolutely love visiting them and when I get there hearing classical rock in the background. It absolutely warms my soul!
You are absolutely right. This is the kind of stuff I still listen to and I always will! I graduated in '84 also and I swear sometimes it seems like yesterday, even though it's been almost 37 years! Man, where did the time go? But, at least we still have this kind of great music to turn to! Keep rocking on everybody!
They weren’t underrated. They were successful in their time. They just never stayed mainstream. You can’t win because people hate on the bands like ac/dc or motley Crüe or guns n roses because they are still played so much.
Ritchie Blackmore might be a complicated person but God knows how I love that strange emotion between euphoria and nostalgia when I hear him play that guitar. 🎸
Of the plethora of famous guitar solos, this one from Ritchie is one of my favorites because of the beautiful fit to the song's lyrics and the clean guitar work done with absolute care and precision. Alex Lifeson on "Limelight" and Eddie Van Halen on "Hear about it Later" have similar beautiful solos in comparison.
It's amazing how this song caught the emotion of being in love with someone and then feeling like total strangers. I loved the song at 18, but wow at 60 after 2 marriages, it has much more meaning.
Hmmmm.... I, remember. Now, kids, the age I was then, can't decide if they're "coming or going"... My only thoughts were what greatness was coming out next on the radio, and which Girl, I liked most... Times, have changed...
Good ole' Richie B, from Deep Purple got this band together in time for MTV. Saw it one night while catching a buzz & was impressed.I had Martha Quinn on constantly Lol,don't think I watched anything else since ..I Loved My MTV !Well,besides football.
Had this album back in highschool. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
I still listen to them. I love Joe Lynn Turner. I met him in Springfield VA Jazz. He spoke to him @ Jazz. I introduced him to my friends. I really loved there music. Great music!!
Unfortunately it’s not true. JLT wasn’t Richies taste. He didn’t like the direction Rainbow was going in at this time. I grew up across the street from Bobby (drums) and we all heard about it later on.
About four hours ago I was walking with my daughter to the bus stop and heard someone at a stop light listening to this song I put my thumb up and he put his thumbs up back and ever since then I been listening to this song over and over since then
After the collapse of Fandango, in 1980, Turner received a call from former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who played in his band Rainbow, in which he was the leader. At the audition, Blackmore was so impressed that he immediately included Joe in the Rainbow lineup. Before Turner joined Rainbow, the group was popular in Europe and Japan, but did not achieve the same popularity in the United States. Thanks to Turner's contributions to the band's music, Rainbow finally achieved popularity in the United States. In the early and mid 80s. Several songs from Rainbow albums featuring Turner reached the Top 20 on various radio charts. "Stone Cold" became the group's first Top 40 hit; Rainbow videos were played on MTV
~Time Was Going By Faster Than We Realized... Life Is Too Quick, And We Can Never Stay In A Moment, But Strangely, When We're There, It Feels Like It's Everlasting...
I bought this vinyl when i was 12, at my local hastings store. Purchased it based ONLY on the sleeve art, which was a guitar headstock bustin out of a dudes face w radical green eyes. Stone cold remains one of the coolest songs ever.!
Im 56 and miss my younger days that were easier and no care in the World ,,, Driving my 77 Trans am and feeling the power of the engine while cranking this Song on the pioneer radio .... Life is passing too quickly we have to enjoy every moment while we can !!! God Bless
Great track, has a real Foreigner vibe about it. JLT was a perfect vocalist for Rainbow at this stage and the songs from that era still stand up today.
22 and still listening to this, I honestly hate the 2010s music all this modern shit sounds the same . Not like the 1900s every song has its own taste. My generation is brainwashed into the new Music I call Junk. 20s, 30s, 40s years old like that new music
You're so right about that... I can't think of a single band, in the last decade that even comes CLOSE to the superior Rock of the late 70's, and all of the 80's... its so disappointing. So glad to have my albums, and of course, RU-vid!! LOL
Richie does such a tremendous job putting a light touch of pick harmonics on the scaling notes, gives a clear but crunching sound. The solo is like a story in of itself, the way it should be.
Absolutely brilliant Blackmore solo, one of his best......it had all his trademarks: a dramatic intro/actually went somewhere/melodic/some technique thrown in, but musical/a bit of flash/ a bit of shred/ a dramatic descending lick to end it..... pure Blackmore gold
@Joseph Cocchiola 2 different styles. Blackmores solos were immediately recognizable. Nobody and Ii mean nobody had such a one of a kind sound and technique.
We took for granted music like this would stick around. Anytime day or night you could flip on the radio and hear stuff like this. New songs came out every week. If you really liked a band there was a good chance they would be touring in your area. Times like those ended in the mid 90s.
It’s how it goes from being a minor chord edgy riff until the last phrase where the tune changes and makes it a major chord riff. The genius of Blackmore.
After all these years of my love Joseph it's been 40years - a few we were apart! Still love him only now this describes him at least 10 years!!! Sad and it hurts but love Rock n Roll!!! Yeah!!!
NUROCK - From Lotus records & tapes - the compilation album that kicked ass! Most of us heard the commercial on the radio and begged our parents for it. Had this song on it - best one!
