Doogie is a fantastic singer! I saw him with Rainbow in Hollywood CA and he covered every singer from Purple and Rainbow, perfectly. That show was amazing. Especially seeing Blackmore in a small club up close. That was the best id ever seen Blackmore play, and i saw him on the Burn tour. This lineup of Rainbow is way under-rated. Peace!
This was an absolutely wonderful interview with Doogie, superb job Phil! Also for anyone ever reading this check out Doogie's Cornerstone albums, they are on the level with his Rainbow stuff. Especially would recommend Two Tales of One Tomorrow, so kickass yet under-appreciated!
Really great interview, Doogie is such a nice guy and he's got an amazing career so far, plus his Scottish accent is so enjoyable 👍 I like the insight on my favorite guitar player which is Michael Schenker, it seems he's really understood Michael's uniqueness both as a musician and a person.
What a singer top of the line... The album he did with my favorite GUITAR GOD 🎩🎸 is a fine peace of work!!! He sang killers songs on THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM also.. ONE OF THE BEST SINGER ON MY LIST🫡🫡🫡🫡👏👏👏💎🏴🇬🇧🏴🇸🇻🇺🇲
Really great back and forth questions with Doogie, Phil. The best fans make the best interviewers. Doogie has a great insight into the way bands and guitar gods work. Sounds like he'd be fun to hang out with, just a really nice guy.
Great interview. I wish you would’ve talked to him about Cornerstone. They were a great underrated melodic rock band. He mentioned them in passing but I would’ve loved to hear more about them.
Phil thank you for this excellent video featuring Doogie! Doogie comes across as a very solid,down to earth man..I really enjoyed his insights into Blackmore/Schenker and Malmsteen..No ego and just his sense of being present..I really enjoy Doogie ability to communicate clearly and truly thinking before speaking..His choice of words and ability to blend into his environment without judgement is very refreshing..Keep these great interviews coming Phil..How about a tribute to Tank?
Hello, Phil. Well,that was a lovely chat !! You two gents were destined to get on famously at the drop of the DPAS. An immediate comfort level on common ground. Doogie is very astute, " Gillan= Elvis, Coverdale=Paul Rodgers, Glenn Hughes=Stevie Wonder,JLT=Lou Gramm" He stole from the best,indeed. Job well done,Phil ! Lots of great info was unearthed on the guitar slingers,both onstage and off.
Stranger In Us All is an album I enjoy and would rank higher than a few Rainbow and Deep Purple albums. After Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner it was refreshing to hear a singer a bit more in the vein of Ronnie James Dio again. No disrespect to either Graham or Joe. I wouldn't mind another Temple of Rock album either!
Great, insightful, thoroughly informative and entertaining video ... well done to you both for this ... I need to check out the new Alcatrazz album ... and dig out / play the Stranger in Us All CD .... saw Doogie with Schenker and Scorpions duo on bass and drums at Lemon Tree in Aberdeen a few years back ... a special night .... cheers again ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland ... p.s. and Doogie clearly enjoys Lou Gramm ... extra bonus points!
Hi Phil , what a brilliant intervew , excellent questions too . Doogie seems a wonderful humble guy and tells a great tale , along with being a superb singer. Yes his version of Temple of the King really stirs the soul. I'm certain he could do similar with rainbow Eyes or dare I say it ... Catch the Rainbow. A part II would be good ??? . Thank you for the trip down memory lane buying vinyl - yes fond memories of buying my first albums ( which inpire me still ) rainbow Rising , Rush Farewell to Kings and Made in Japan .... a few months later Van Halen I was acquired ..."WOW"!!! .. Love your channel Phil :)
Interesting interview! I saw Doogie on the Schenkerfest tour. As much as I like the recent MSG albums, It would be great to have a new Temple Of Rock release. Such an underrated band with awesome songs.Vigilante Man!
Like Phil I was a DPAS member and a fellow anorak. I met Doogie at a club we played at in Covent Garden. Je couldnt have been nicer and.more down to earth. I agree with his views on Bonnets voice,not my top singer but incomparable.
Brilliant interview. Really enjoyable. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an interview with Doogie before, but great questions and very thoughtful answers. Bravo.
Congratulations phil. NSMP has become the perfect complement to Sea Of Tranquility. English tact and humor as an extra. And thanks to Mr. White for his hilarious appearance on a Japanese channel with Mr. Blackmore and their "I'm a sad alcoholic"...
Saw rainbow at Palo Alto in 1996 or 97 with doogie singing and it was an incredible show. Ritchie was on fire and it was a full house in a smallish club. There are two songs from that show on TH-cam burn and mistreated
So glad Doogie refused to play in Russia after Putin started the war. Thanks for a great interview. Must hear that Alcatrazz song. I don't agree re. the most recent Rainbow line-up, though. David Keith, Bob Nouveau, Jens Johansson - on par with predecessors. But if Stranger In Us All is Rainbow's last album, at least it's a real classic. Love the whole record. Black Masquerade, Wolf to the Moon, Ariel, Silence - superb. Like Blackmore, Schenker's in my Top 3 Guitar-players, so Doogie does work with interesting people. Agree with Doogie on Gary Barden's voice - almost the two Ians, Gillan and Hunter, combined. Cheers!🌈
@NowSpinningMagazine got to play soccer with ritchie and ritchie paice and gillan the second time. I'll try and send some pics next time. Jon Lord was the nicest guy. Also Jethro Tull were in Sydney at the same time and I was sitting at a table with ritchie, ian anderson and stuart smith his guitar assistant. Also met lemmy , jimmy page and Robert plant on several occasions. In 83 I went to donnington and then a couple of weeks later to Dublin to see Mama's Boys, Anvil,Twisted Sister, Motorhead and Sabbath.
I disagree with Dougie on the false Rainbow Birmingham shows. Ritchie had a great time, especially the 2017 show where they had the stage manager ready to pull the plug for going passed the curfew. A 70+ legend may not have hit the heights of 40 years before but he did provide some magic moments. Standing on the Birmingham International platform after the 2016 show a young lad turned to me and said it was the best night of his life.
Hi Phil. Don't be surprised that he doesn't listen to that much music. Many great singers/musicians don't, which they are pretty open about. This is just another example. Another thing that might be a surprise is that lot's of musicians actually aren't very good listeners, and even more doesn't have a particular good hearing. It's not required for what they do, though it may come as a shock to quite a few. Besides that most musicians have various degree of hearing damage, which kinda goes with the territory. That's why a lot of studies carried out in studios with musicians as test subjects never gets peer reviewed. Those conducting the studies have doomed the research from the start by choosing the worst test subjects possible. Music and hifi magazines may publish studies like that to have something to write about, but they wouldn't survive one minute if analyzed by real researchers. Musicians get their ideas in the head, and that's where they hear how it's supposed to sound. But hearing it in your head and getting that sound on the album are two very different things. That's why they depend on producers and sound engineers (magic ears) for the mixing. But this is of course a bit of topic, and only goes to show that we can be too quick to jump to conclusions. Remember, Beethoven was deaf. Great interview. Thanks Mate. All the best from Denmark.
One correction for Doogie when he says “it’s not me selling the tickets “ … well I have to say in 2021 I saw the setlist for alcatrazz that included songs from stranger in us all and shencker fest songs and I bought a ticket to see Doogie sing HIS songs 👍

i still listen to that Rainbow album with Doogie. Fantastic album probably the best engineered and mixed of all the rainbow albums. stellar

Hi Jay, sorry about that, I was trying to fit everything in. When I talk to Doogie again I will ensure I cover Cornerstone
Love Doogie, he once gave me a lift home after his gig in his old Volkswagon motor.
What a great story - thank you for watching - Phil
Excellent interview,congrats.Doogie White is a great singer.

Great interview. Good questions and Doogie was very engaging. Thanks Phil.
Thank you for watching - Phil
Thank you Doogie, thank you Phil, very enjoyable 80 minutes :-)
Thank you for watching - Phil
Bruce Lee is a 70s legend. Great interview, Phil. Totally agree, Doogies version of Temple Of The King is the best version. Doogies a top guy.
"Fantastic show Phil and Doogie",, All of those Guitarists" Were lucky to have him, he has made some great music,
Thank you for watching - glad you enjoyed it - Phil :)

Job well done,Phil ! Lots of great info was unearthed on the guitar slingers,both onstage and off.
Thank you for watching. I try and make each interview like a couple of mates having a chat down the pub! Phil :)
@@NowSpinningMagazine It was obvious that Doogie was pleased with both the nature of your questions and your easy-going nature.
@@mikewhiteley641: So well-put. The DPAS is like an old friend.

Merci yngwie forever one ❤
Doogie is a great guy. Saw with Rainbow, Cornerstone, Demon’s Eye, Schenker.
Thank you for tuning in - Phil
I'm fair looking forward to seeing Doogie at Winter Storm 2023 a great person to talk to.
Good interview, Phil. Doogie obviously enjoyed it too.
There were moments there, that I thought you were talking to Billy Connolly 😆
Thank you for watching, there were moments when I thought the same! Such a great story teller! Phil :)

I was in the dpas and used to get the stargazer newsletter from Simon Robinson.
I still have all my copies of the magazine! Phil

Doogie is absolutely magical when he sings Temple of The King.
He seems like a really nice guy
Wonderful vocalist and storyteller ! Phil :)
Doogie would REALLY like Nightwish with Floor Jansen.
What about an interview with Simon Robinson of the DPAS?
I would totally love that, it would have to be a full series - Phil :)
You did well there Phil. Billy Connolly can be a bit awkward at times. (i'm Scottish by the way) . Great stuff.
Doogie should have got the job in Maiden after Bruce left. I know he auditioned.
Was the deep purple fan club called “Stargazer” back in the day ? 😀👌
It was indeed!
@@NowSpinningMagazine top fanzine, Simon Robertson was a mind of knowledge 😎
Will Doogie record or play with Demon’s Eye again? It are 2 great albums
Hi did not mention those but you never know!
@@NowSpinningMagazine I send you an email. Great interview, great site. Love your reviews

Graham Bonnett has ALWAYS OVER-SANG! ALWAYS!!!

Billy Connolly of metal
