The real story is this, he had gone out drinking with guys from whitesnake and got shitfaced drunk. He hadn't learned all of the words yet so he had them on cheat sheets at the front of the stage. The crowd got so crazy that they pushed the monitors back over the sheets, destroying them. Being drunk and unable to read the words he walked off stage in the middle of the first song. He left and went back to the hotel where he was told the band was pissed and gonna kick his ass for leaving. They had finished the show instrumentally. So he left and flew home only to find out the next day they fired him.
Graham Bonnet is a true treasure. I cannot believe how powerful his voice is 40 years later. Most singers cannot pull off their albums when they are 23 years old. This man is amazing.
Bonnets the best Rainbow singer I think.Dio's overrated to me,and I listen to plenty of singers,and bands.Dios is good,but many singers can immitate a grindy vocal similar to Dios,and do like the singer from early Astral doors albums does ext.So he's easier to copy,and overall less versatile than Bonnet in my oppinion.
absolutely inspired still. ..today was my first first ever tribute song to Graham Bonnet " Since you Been gone "th-cam.com/video/M2iUmBgpHSw/w-d-xo.html :)
Смотрю это видео снова и снова! Какой голос и страсть! Как быстро летит время. Песни с диска Рэйнбоу где он пел до сих пор крутятся в моей голове,.... Грэхэм, ты велик
I’m my opinion, the greatest rock voice of all time! I know that people will now start putting other singers up, but as I said, 'In my opinion'. Graham Bonnet’s vocals have been, and still are incredible! 🇬🇧
Being 68, he shouldn´t be able to deliver stuff like that ! But he is. Just listened to ´81 Line Up and he still has his signature sound. Maybe a bit worn , but that´s just human. Great song, really. Rock on Mr. Bonnet !
Happy birthday, Graham! From an acoustically subdued mandolin, tiple, and guitar (and misc.) player in southwestern Virginia who is also learning what it feels like to be six-dozen years old today!
addendum: please consider getting in touch with Linden Lab and organize a tour in Second Life? We have a whole bunch of cool music stuff planned for later this year!
Lovely to here new music from one of the best voices in the world. Saw them at sweden rock 2016 and had a huge smile on my face all the way. Bless you all.
Great powerful singer in the studio.MSG Assault Attack is some of his best work. Alcatrazz was good too.I saw Graham live a few times in his heyday with Alcatrazz and he had a hard time hitting all the high notes live.The vocals he does in the studio are almost impossible to duplicate live for him. I still think he's a killer singer though.
Richie didn't find him; he looked him up when Rainbow needed a singer because he remembered a song that he really liked that Graham had recorded a few years before.
Criminally underrated singer! This is a great tune.
+Steven Lornie good tune, but about his singing I absolutely agree with you..it happens that RB has been a real jerk: fire a singer 'couse his hair!!!
+jonesthecat00 He left the band.
+jonesthecat00 He was an alcoholic, that's why Michael Schenker fired him too

@SabuPtolemy warm up ride, warm up ride!? Sorry
You still got it Bonnet! One of the best singers ever.
Not crazy about the production but his voice sounds better and more effortless than before.
What a voice to have at his age, if only more singers could be so lucky.

J Pej so true
He sounds like the 80s stuff - the voice is still there :-)
Graham is one of the greatest singers in rock, underrated sadly, but there's still time to appreciate him, come on!!
I had the privilege to see the Graham Bonnet in my home town Malta, I must say, they rocked the place. Graham Bonnet is a powerful singer !!!
who would thumbs down Graham Bonnet?they dont know a great singer when they hear 1.
+blasphemusbudda Joe Lynn Turner's fans...
I like Bonnet but Joe was better
A great singer who madea lot of bad choices.
Its those damn maroon 5 fans again! They hate good music
Almost 70 years old and still going strong, not too many artists can claim that
True! Impressive thing!
Great to hear Bonnet proving he's still one of the best. Rainbow only had 2 great singers Bonnet and Dio. Line Up is my No 1 album of all time.
Bonnets the best Rainbow singer I think.Dio's overrated to me,and I listen to plenty of singers,and bands.Dios is good,but many singers can immitate a grindy vocal similar to Dios,and do like the singer from early Astral doors albums does ext.So he's easier to copy,and overall less versatile than Bonnet in my oppinion.
Грэм! Слава БОГУ жив и в строю! ВОКАЛ до сих пор потрясает! ДОЛГИХ лет жизни в этом ключе!🤟❤🎤🎸👍
Точно Зеркала врут-Грэхэм,ты и твой голос -вечны и молоды!!! Forever!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME .!!!!!!!...WHAT A BAND . WHAT A VOICE , GRAHAM YOU ARE AWESOME SINGER .ALL SO TALENTED .!!!
69 years old and still sounds amazing bonnet rules
absolutely inspired still. ..today was my first first ever tribute song to Graham Bonnet " Since you Been gone "th-cam.com/video/M2iUmBgpHSw/w-d-xo.html :)
Грехам величайший голос и до сих пор,слушаю с Rainbow -этот диск один из лучших в моей коллекции.
Graham, the Johnny Cash of modern rock. Loved by his fans, misunderstood by the others. Me? FAN! Keep rocking man!
The talents with which Ritchie Blackmore worked and chose, were and are out of this world, for a reason he chose them. Long live Graham Bonnet
Damn I've loved this mans voice since I was a teenager in the mid 70's.
Смотрю это видео снова и снова! Какой голос и страсть! Как быстро летит время. Песни с диска Рэйнбоу где он пел до сих пор крутятся в моей голове,.... Грэхэм, ты велик
..у Шенкера тоже было аффффигенно !
I’m my opinion, the greatest rock voice of all time!
I know that people will now start putting other singers up, but as I said, 'In my opinion'.
Graham Bonnet’s vocals have been, and still are incredible! 🇬🇧

Graham Bonnet and Roger Daltrey best singers of the dying Rock genre. Great song btw!

Strong stuff! So glad Ritchie found him and put him on the right path with heavy music.
