I don't think its fair to judge a band on how many hits they had. Rainbow had more than 1 1/2 hits anyway, maybe in the US, but the US has always been sceptical of UK bands for whatever reason. Rainbow with Dio basically created Power Metal, where they added fantastical lyrics to metal songs, plus Blackmore added classical influence to the overall sound, creating neo-classical metal. Plus, they played arena for most of their career, and Blackmore is the most influenced guitarist for guitarists. Come on Dio, I know things between you and Blackmore are bitter, but give yourself some credit! Oh, I thought you were looking for 'nay' thoughts on the band. I tried to oblige.

Rainbow were superb, well the Dio led Rainbow was, I did like the Graham Bonnet fronted album Down To Earth but it was basically pop rock, then the Joe Lynn Turner stuff was even poppier (is that even a word?). Blackmore is brilliant but I think he's a control freak, it's his way or the highway which would account for the constant line up changes. I agree with you, the first four or so Rainbow albums are excellent, Dio and Bonnet, brilliant. As for line-up changes, its the habit with Blackmore as you said. Weirdly enough though, regardless, it still sounds like Rainbow. Great band, every live release is excellent.

Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me my love and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun the moon the stars all bear my seal
Insane lyrics from Sabbath, so glad I managed to be in the presence of the greatest guitarist of all time, Mr Tony Iommi, on Black Sabbath's 13 tour, what a show, I can still remember Ozzy running up to where I was and telling me to get my hands in the air, although, not as polite as that, hahaha! Can't wait until Ozzy visits for his final tour! ...........just HAVE to love those lyrics & music It gets even weirder once you realise its Lucifer that's speaking.

Love to be around, love to avoid, or love to smack across the head? There are so many ways to go with that.

You have to remember that sometimes there are 13 year old children on the SK forum doing research and stuff for school. The Mods there have always been very fair about adhering to the rules. It doesn't matter how mature someone might be, the site is still reflective on Mr. King as owner of the site, and care and respect for the feelings of everyone should be considered.
It would do kids some good if they listened to Sabbath! Joking aside though I understand what you mean. But if that's the case then the teachers or parents are at fault, kids that young should not be checking out Stephen King books, I cant think of a single novel that would be suitable for a child of that age, but then again Steve doesn't really write for that audience. Regardless of what people say, books are like anything else, you should or shouldn't be allowed with it as a child. Imagine if a kid was to pick up IT? I can think of one book - The Eyes of the Dragon - he wrote it for his daughter Naomi when she was 12 or 13
It's a great story - one of the best I think (reads a bit like a fairy tale but much better)
If you ever get a chance you should try it - I think you'd like it

.....um, if i recall correctly there might be a couple of adult scenes that not every 12 or 13 will be mature/ready enough to injest/digest without adult superstition....but i think edwardjohn is old enough to handle it all
