1 out of 5 stars I HATED IT.......2005-04-20

I am a huge Rainbow fan, with my favourite singers being Dio and Graham Bonnet. I also love blackmore's style. With this tribute album i thought the band did pretty good. But the singer ruined the whole lot for me. It was screechy, shakey, all over the place and just downright horrible. Not saying I could do any better but im not the one creating a tribute album here. When I listen to the original version of catch the rainbow, i feel relaxed and peaceful. When I heard this version i had to turn it off straight away, it was just an utter joke. But this is just my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars You have to respect the power of this record.......2003-02-10

This Rainbow tribute album has the absolute best cover version of "Kill the King." Uli Kusch, former drummer for the excellent German power metal band Helloween and now with Masterplan, puts on a drumming clinic! He is perhaps the most talented skins man on the scene today. Lovingly recorded by a crew of brilliant musicians, this album smokes from the opening crush of "Kill the King" to the closing bombast of "Still I'm Sad," featuring Primal Fear's Ralf Scheepers on vocals.

5 out of 5 stars Aint no Ritchie.......2002-02-09

this is an exelent recording and i think that ritchie would be proud to have such good musicians follow in his footsteps. but the fact is that it aint no ritchie, and although it is full of good carbon copies nothing can compare to the pure soul of ritchie blackmore

3 out of 5 stars Very Well Done But Too Similar to the Originals.......2001-04-28

These are very good note-for-note carbon copies of a selection of Rainbow songs which is actually a better representation of Rainbow's greatest hits than the selection on the Rainbow's greatest hits CD. That said, it suffers from the same shortcoming that many "tribute" albums suffer from - the musicians try to perform carbon copies of the originals rather than putting their own "stamp" on them or doing something at least a little bit different with them. Invariably, the originals are better, so why bother? The guitar solos are not quite as good, at times the drumming falls short (too much rapid tapping on the bass-drum foot-pedal: sounds amatuerish), and the vocalist, although very good, is no Ronnie James Dio (although the vocalist who does Joe Lynn Turner sounds so much like Turner you would swear it was Turner himself!). My two favorite songs are the only songs where the musicians have actually done something different with them: "Catch the Rainbow" and "Rainbow Eyes". On the original "Catch the Rainbow", a simple repeating melody on guitar just plays over and over again as the song fades out. Here the guitarist adds completely different solos both in the middle and at the fade - its a refreshing change. I LOVE what was done to "Rainbow Eyes": a great bluesy-type solo is added in the middle and at the end several solos play different variations on the basic melody; on the original there is no solo in the middle and at the end, a simple melody played on a violin with no variation just repeats as it fades out. The tribute version is actually an IMPROVEMENT over the original! In summary, I have mixed feelings about this album. It is very well performed by very competent musicians from mostly the Metal bands Helloween and Gamma Ray, along with a few others. I love the SELECTION of songs, and it doesn't sound like a bunch of bad outtakes like on the Deep Purple tribute CD; it sounds more like alternate versions of songs done by Rainbow itself. This project had a lot of promise but would have been better had the musicians varied things up a bit and put their own stamp or personality on the songs.
