Yeah, I can see why he picked that one instead of "Don't Waste My Time" for instance.

... As for bands like Rainbow (not) changing their sound as Gaz mentioned, maybe the essential sound didn't change but the song writing style obviously did. The different visions of Ronnie who wrote for musical creativity and Ritchie who hankered after hit singles and the hit parade. That was the reason Ronnie walked. In a way very similar to the different visions of the band of Alan and Francis. Something that in the long run was never going to work or end happily. True! I did buy Down to Earth with Graham, Difficult to Cure and Straight Between the Eyes with JLT, and play them every once in a while because I like them. The sound is very American though, which is a euphemism for bland, safe and sugary. Everyone did it at the time (and suffered the consequences: think Saxon, Judas Priest, et al.) Thank the gods for Rainbow's Dio (& Bluehighway) albums.

It's funny you immediately think of Quo when you heard this. My reaction was "this is Sabbath", and then I hadn't even heard the second song, which is almost a cover of early Sabbath. Mind you, I'm a big fan so nothing against that. Thanks Matt, great find! And Dennis, do you know what became of them?

Don’t think they would have got that slot without that Song ! ... Slade is merry Xmas everyone, suspect they'd not be remembered otherwise. Sabbath got paranoid and purple get black night. Led zep stairway We get raotw If they are lucky, Maiden get bring your daughter. ... Always tricky these lists. I would say DP: Smoke on the Water (and really fed up with it); Maiden: The Number of the Beast.

I reckon ol Col was talking a lot of pish, after all, he was one of the people who ripped the band off he didnt rip the band off. Some members still have a good relationship with him. It was Alan Crux that did all of that, which is why Francis and Rick will never mention his name these days.Rossi refers to him as Be-bop Deluxe and Rick changed the lyrics in LOAI to either "Someone" or "Franny" instead of "Cruxies gonna be there soon". That started as early as the Ain't Complaining tour Oops!

This band reminds me of some other band, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

It will be the only time Rossi does go near white powders these days. The could of played Jam Side Down though to keep in theme with show Or If You Can't Stand The Heat in its entirety?
