@Kwai Chang Mandelbaum Damn I don't remember posting that. Must have gotten my drink on that night oh well. Yeah that is pretty g*y. Its so g*y my phone keeps changing the a to y. Go figure🙂🙈🙊🙉
Awesome song!!! The whole album is amazing!! Bob Daisley the bass player for Ozzy plays on Long Live Rock and Roll. It's an amazing album definitely worth jamming cover to cover.
Id also suggest gates of babylon-yngwie malmesteen cover .. unpopular opinion: its as great or even greater than the original :p but both are outta this world
Not so sure about this one, for the un-initiated it might not be cherished as much as it should be. Some people can't see past the Andrew Lloyd-Webber feel it has, and that might ruin it for them. I love the song, and it's definately in the upper echelon of the Rainbow catalog.
@@xRuralJuroRx I never thought of it as a song from a musical even though ive had the vinyl since the 80´s. I was surpriced about that reaction from another reaction video, i mean i generally hate the whole idea of musicals although i must admit that there are some good songs there, i just hate everything around the song, i also love Gates of Babylon.
Dio was and is one of the greatest singers of the rock metal genres to ever do it. His lyrics and ability to reprise the verses at the end of a song are absolutely unmatched..🤟
@@GTBAnime Are you sure about that? The lyrics sound very Dio-esque. I thought they even had a sequel on the album, to the story of the wizard's now-free slaves.
You mentioned something really important. You said you felt inspired. This is a hallmark of this whole genre of music, and Dio is the very best at it. Listening to this music makes us feel powerful, but not in an angry or aggressive way. This power is unerringly positive. This is the magic of Ronnie James Dio. Dio's voice fills us with powerful energy. He chose his name well. Dio was truly a god among men.
"The song is so simple"! Well I have to disagree on that bro... Cozy Powell's drumming is from another world, and we have the ultimate guitar god playing here. Not to mention the full orchestra in the background! So, no it's not a simple song. It's maybe the most complete rock song ever created!
Not it's fucking not... It's an amazing song, don't get me wrong but there are far more complex and technical rock songs out there...are we seriously going to compare this to Dance of eternity by Dream theater or Karn Evil 9 by ELP? They're objectively far more difficult to play Again, not knocking on the song Just stating it's not as complex or difficult to play as you claimed
@@fourseasons4105 the most complex thing about a song is writing it and make it interesting. I can myself write a song, find a band of 15 year old prodigies on TH-cam to play it like the devil but it will still suck because it’s a crappy song. Stargazer is complex because it’s perfectly written, perfectly arranged and perfectly played.
From his work with Sabbath, “Sign of the Southern Cross,” “Lady Evil,” “Country Girl” From his work with Rainbow, “Man On The Silver Mountain,” “Gates of Babylon,” “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves,” “Kill The King,” “L.A. Connection,” and “The Shed (Subtle)”
The vocals at the end, when he starts singing the "going home" part, gives me goose bumps every time. For me this is his greatest vocal, at the end of the song, when hes just going off, incredible, brilliant, no words......
lyrics are written from the standpoint of a "slave in Egyptian times", according to lyricist Ronnie James Dio. They relate the story of the Wizard, an astronomer who becomes "obsessed with the idea of flying" and enslaves a vast army of people to build him a tower from which he can take off and fly ] The people hope for the day when their misery comes to an end, building the tower in harsh conditions ("In the heat and rain, with whips and chains; / to see him fly, so many died"). In the end, the wizard climbs to the top of the tower but, instead of flying, falls down and dies: "no sound as he falls instead of rising. / Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand". The next song, "A Light in the Black", continues the story of the people who have lost all purpose after the Wizard's death "until they see the Light in the Dark", according to Dio
Is there any better way to inspire more people who will wake up someday and realize there is more than just this physical realm more to life than just meets the eyes .... Promise ya the evil leaders who enslave the masses they know understand and keep well hidden for themselves the ancient dark mystery religions and powers of the spritual realm ...

This song is a true group mastery. Every member of the band was a virtuoso on his instrument: Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Tony Carey on keyboards, Jimmy Bain on bass, Cozy Powell on drums, and the amazing vocal master himself, Mr. Ronnie James Dio. This song is 8 1/2 minutes of sonic perfection. 🤘🏻
6:20m Ritchie Blackmore..the founder of this band, after he left Deep Prrple, he is a guitar virtutoso..also one to mention is powerhouse Cozy Powell on drumms.. at that time 1976 The Best Guitarist, vocalist, and drummer in one band.. EPIC !!!

Dream Theater covered "Stargazer" as well as Metallica. Metallica did more of a Dio medley song called "Ronnie Rising" containing bits from "Light in the Black" , "Tarot Woman" , "Stargazer" , "Kill the King" , "Light in the Black".
Rainbow is such an underrated band - especially the Dio era. Also check out "Kill the King" and "Catch the Rainbow". Stargazer is probably my favourite song written by Dio - oh, and you know *Metallica* covered it in their "Ronnie Rising" medley, although Kill the King was the clear standout in that medley.
Stargazer was one of the first songs I really loved when I was young. A friend was brining me to rainbow at that time. I learned to love Dio and Blackmoore. Legends of rock.
Yeah I agree.. Black Sabbath has gotten plenty of love but no one has ever done a solid Ozzy solo career song reaction. I would've figured that even Lost in Vegas would've done one by now but nothing. Coming Preston... Blaze that trail. React to an Ozzy solo song from the first two albums.
I have met Ronnie James Dio many times,your words about him would made him soo happy. He was the nicest artist ive had the honour to meet,he always listened to his fans. Once he made his tourbus with band and crew wait,just to to talk to me and sign some albumcovers. I truly hope his soul made its way to heaven.RIP Ronnie🙏❤️ Great reaction bro!!! Greetings from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪
One word.... BIBLICAL!!! Years ago , made a compilation cassette tape of all my favourite Rainbow songs.... worked away all week but when travelling home at weekends this was on , volume 11 .... epic, epic music,awesome in every way and to suit all moods !!!
That was my suggestion a few days ago to you bro I m really honored you took the time to listen to it I post this before i saw your reaction Love from Greece
If Conan the Barbarian listened to Metal, this is it... \m/ Recommend listenin to Dickinson sing Blood Brothers in tribute to DIO... Also, Bruce and DIO singing Rainbow in the Dark & Stand Up and Shout, together... and as always man, Ronnie Maiden, Up the DIO... \M/
Dude, I liked you before on all the other videos I have seen so far ,but liking dio like this !! You got it now.. dio is burned into my soul I listened to him so much.. These videos you are making are tremendous! Thank you again
in this song man Dio is playing with best pro rocker ever Ritchie Blackmore. Ritchie is deep purple's and rainbow's lead guitarist. they together wrote stargazer and temple of the king ;) and many many others.. thx for the video man and sory for bad english u r nice guy
Loving these classic picks you've been covering lately. Getting good suggestions for each band/singer you are covering from your subscribers, and you getting, and feelin it, with these great tunes is awesome..Stay real man.
@jon more Dio's voice(and all around song writing) with Iommi's riffs was unbeatable. Too bad it ended so early. I was always a big fan of post Ozzy Sabbath.
X. Rickenbacker Richie was barely playing outside pentatonic. Yeah he’s a riff master but no god. Considering he doesn’t rate joe satriani “because he doesn’t make mistakes” 😂😂😂
Hey man, This is my first time checking you out and was great to see you respond to the same points of the song that get ME going. It was REALLY good watching this... Thanks
Black Sabbath - Die Young, Neon Knights, Children of the sea, Falling off the edge of the world, I(yes I, i didn't forget to write something)and Bible Black as Heaven and Hell
Anyone else just recently heard of this song?! One of those tunes that is on a whole different plane of existence. Best Christmas Gift my older bro could have given. My bro was blasting this when he parked in the driveway and I'm like "wtf... is... this..." Love the passion in your commentary OP.
I was lucky enough to have been raised on this kind of music, so my childhood summers were soundtracked by my Dad playing Stargazer at full volume with the windows wide open and cruising high speed to the beach. Fuck, I miss my Dad....
I went to the grocery store once as soon as it opened and they were cranking, really cranking Man on a Silver Mountain - 3/4 of the way through it stopped and the usual drivel started playing. I hope that employee didn’t get in too much trouble.
Hey, thanks KTF for doing this. I usually do not care for reaction videos, but I like this one. You do OK and I enjoy your smile. Then again, it could be that you and I struggle with the top two of Dio. Cheers
When Rainbow debuted, Ritchie Blackmore was an international superstar. Ronnie James Dio was an unknown. That debut and Rising launched him into the limelight. He was 33-34 when he recorded Stargazer. He started his career in the late 50s. It's the oldest story in showbiz. It only took him twenty years to become an overnight sensation. Sometimes the legend and the fact are one and the same. It's rare, but it happens.
Should be the live Catch the Rainbow off of On Stage - Preston is digging the longer songs and that really highlights Dio's vocals with no overdubs and Blackmore, Carey, and Powell were on fire with that recording.
this was a big part of my music growing up.. loved seeing your smile during the whole song, that was my reaction years ago to hearing it for the first time as well ;)
Es como una obra magna.., épica, intensa, emotiva, poderosa, majestuosa, enérgica, llena de una grandeza sin límites. No hay adjetivos suficientes para esta canción. Otra de las obras maestras creadas por un genio llamado Richie Blackmore

9:34 Dio is the only singer who can litterally sing : "Oh Oh Oh Oh" and STILL hold your attention
The last couple of minuets , when the orchestra comes in it brings tears to my eyes.
Me too. I thought I was the only one who had that feeling. 👍😎
Every single time.
And I could have this on repeat for hours. People would think that I'd lost all my loved ones, if they saw my face that day.

Black Sabbath - Children of The Sea
That's a favorite as far Dio in Sabbath
Yeah the Live Evil version!
Been listening to this tune for 30 years now, and it still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Black Sabbath "The Sign of the Southern Cross" "Lonely is the Word" "Over and Over"
You have a good ear for detail.

Hey man, This is my first time checking you out and was great to see you respond to the same points of the song that get ME going. It was REALLY good watching this... Thanks
Same guitarist that was in Deep Purple - Child In Time Preston!!
NOW Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Tarot women has gotta be your next reaction. Trust me bro you will not repeat will not regret it.
One of my favorite Rainbow songs
Yes!!!!!
This whole album is full of gold
Black Sabbath - Die Young, Neon Knights, Children of the sea, Falling off the edge of the world, I(yes I, i didn't forget to write something)and Bible Black as Heaven and Hell
The greatest coda of any rock song vocally musically magnum opus of its genre
Absolutely the Magnus Opus
Dio Sabbath - Lonely is the Word ! Tony Iommi leaves earth on the solos on it too
Oh yes man
Next Dio song: Black Sabbath - Sign of the southern cross! You have to liste to this, man!
Ronnie James Dio was a charisma wizard. He just pulled you in.
Anyone else just recently heard of this song?! One of those tunes that is on a whole different plane of existence. Best Christmas Gift my older bro could have given. My bro was blasting this when he parked in the driveway and I'm like "wtf... is... this..."
Love the passion in your commentary OP.
I was lucky enough to have been raised on this kind of music, so my childhood summers were soundtracked by my Dad playing Stargazer at full volume with the windows wide open and cruising high speed to the beach. Fuck, I miss my Dad....
Temple of the kings now!
Bro you have to hear Dio with Black Sabbath singing The sign of the southern cross... epic
This masterpiece is also epic due Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple) guitar....
Please react to We Rock from Dio and Dance of Death by Iron Maiden
The new version of We rock is immortal. Wonderful
I know when he said there was nothing really special about the instrumental I about put my guitar on Craigslist lol.
Blackmore soloing in Lydian mode on top of it all.
One of the best songs ever written in rock an metal music! Cool reaction.
“Falling off the edge of the World” and Sign of the Southern Cross.
Knock that shit out and youll be rockin it!!
Light in the Black is the song after this on the album and it follows the story. It's good too!
Do Purple
Highway Star
I'm surprised he hasn't done Deep Purple's Highway Star. It's an amazing song, and probably he'd love it.
Yeah, do it. Everyone else has
That or Burn, Space Truckin', or Fireball! Something that really kicks! 🤘🎸
Lazy
Love your reaction to this song. And you nailed it, it IS inspiring. Perfect analysis!
Try Sign of the Southern Cross from Black Sabbath...Perfect!
I’m telling you that you gotta hear Man on the Silver Mountain before making any list.🤠
He did! They blocked it!👍💞
I agree
I agree
I went to the grocery store once as soon as it opened and they were cranking, really cranking Man on a Silver Mountain - 3/4 of the way through it stopped and the usual drivel started playing. I hope that employee didn’t get in too much trouble.
Next, Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow (live in Munich 1977), 15 minutes of pure magic and pure awesomeness !
Yes! I've been trying to request this in all his Dio and Deep Purple vids. 18 minutes of Dio and Ritchie is a must for Preston to react to.🤘
Hey, thanks KTF for doing this. I usually do not care for reaction videos, but I like this one. You do OK and I enjoy your smile. Then again, it could be that you and I struggle with the top two of Dio. Cheers
Yah man Preston,liking the reaction a lot. What a classic song and those vocals cut right through you! Peace Bless
"The Sign of the Southern Cross" by Black Sabbath is one of Ronnie James Dio's best vocal performances in my opinion.
IRON MAIDEN - SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON!!!
"where do we gooooooooooooooo----oooo-ooooooooooooo,"......bruh that note just kills!
When Rainbow debuted, Ritchie Blackmore was an international superstar. Ronnie James Dio was an unknown. That debut and Rising launched him into the limelight. He was 33-34 when he recorded Stargazer. He started his career in the late 50s.
It's the oldest story in showbiz. It only took him twenty years to become an overnight sensation. Sometimes the legend and the fact are one and the same. It's rare, but it happens.
Other Good Dio Rainbow songs
-Tarot Woman
-Catch the Rainbow
-Gates of Babylon
Should be the live Catch the Rainbow off of On Stage - Preston is digging the longer songs and that really highlights Dio's vocals with no overdubs and Blackmore, Carey, and Powell were on fire with that recording.
Try Rainbow - Man In the Silver Mountain. Great groove.
Enjoy 😎
this was a big part of my music growing up.. loved seeing your smile during the whole song, that was my reaction years ago to hearing it for the first time as well ;)
ohh one of my favorites song of all of time.
Es como una obra magna.., épica, intensa, emotiva, poderosa, majestuosa, enérgica, llena de una grandeza sin límites. No hay adjetivos suficientes para esta canción. Otra de las obras maestras creadas por un genio llamado Richie Blackmore
Yep I agree with sign of the southern Cross . It will blow you away
Stargazer tells a story so after this one you should probably listen to "A Light in the Black" which is the continuation.
"Nothing special about the instrumentation"
hmmmmm, i suggest you have another listen buddy,that's EPIC musicianship right there.
