Possibly the best Alcatrazz of all time? Bite your tongue; you need to look into who cowrote this album…

Given the less than compelling content seeping into the hard rock scene at the time, DIO’s The Last in Line was the right record at the right time when it was released on July 2nd, 1984 via Warner Bros. Records. Thirty-five years later, it’s still guaranteed to blister your backside like no other slab from that era.

So, the bottom line is that Ritchie Blackmore stuck to his guns, did things his way, and ultimately proved that he can be successful no matter what.

Rock’n’roll god Ritchie Blackmore and his band Rainbow are releasing a second volume of live material Memories In Rock II on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

Beautifully rich and chocolaty, spiced up with cinnamon and paprika, Danny P. shows us how to make some gnarly “Ritchie Blackmore” Spiced Walnut Brownies.

The Rainbow album, Live in Germany 1976, boasts the classic line-up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain and Tony Carey all assembled onstage in the prime of their careers. To many hard rock fans (and Rainbow fans) this is the lineup to beat all other others. Honestly this much talent on one stage at the same time is just ridiculous.
