Legend drummer and it was a great loss when we lost Cozy.
I remember the first time I heard him, he was on TOTP playing his first single an instrumental called “Dance with the Devil” ‘a very energetic drumming performance and I remember thinking then, Christ he must be fit
Blackmore found the best like he always did.
He also demanded the best of musicians. We were the beneficiaries of his elevated standards
Just for the intro to Stargazer has he earned his hero status
Rainbow ...
Ritchie Blackmore's EMPLOYMENT AGENCY!
My favorite Drummer. Always interesting hearing stories about him.
I saw Rainbow with Cozy and he was fantastic. He did one of the best drum Solos I ever saw .
Same, Still I’m Sad, thought I went blind when it blew up at the end , magic
My dad and I listened to your band my whole life until he died last year I know he's playing your music somewhere. I'm glad you guys are still uploading
Cozy Powell is a legend¡¡
Cozy was just so invisible , but without him all the wheels would fall off. Sooooo solid, hard hitter that drove everything he played. So underrated .. True legend, monster player. Such a loss…. Glad to hear people talking about him and his playing. One of the greatest by far …
Underrated and invisible??? Dewd....
Top 4 drummer in the world easy rip Cozy Powell.
Drummers can't be compared because various music styles require different drumming. Are Duran Duran or Talking Heads or even Chic drummers behind him - you tell me.
Yes .They are far,far,far, Behind him
Met Cozy (and his Dad), Newcastle City Hall.
Was great to have some time with Cozy, then met his Dad, who introduced me to Richie and I got his autograph.
Next night, met Richie again, and he remembered me. We had a discussion about Richie smashing his guitars (as he didn't the previous night).
2nd night he obliterated one of his Strats.
Memories like that are priceless.
Cozy is one of the finest drummers in the history of Rock n Roll. There was nothing he couldn’t play with style and power.
wonderful and underrated drummer
RIP legend
No. Cozy has never been underrated.
Totally agree. Not underrated in the slightest. Cozy put drummers on the map.
By who? Oh you needed to use that term...
By who? Oprah Winfrey?😄
Doesn't EVERYONE know he was the BEST?!
Colin "Cozy" Powell!
Or as I always call him "God"!
He was my idol growing up n I got to see him Live 3 times; twice with Black Sabbath n once with Peter Green where Cozy played "Albatross" with just his left hand, using his right on the cymbals when needed!
Legend!
🤘🏻
Also, Cozy's work on Stargazer and Michael Schenker's Live at Budokan just slayed me, and I'm a guitarist :)
That intro to Stargazer is amazing
One Night At Budokan - Brilliant
Losing Cozy Powell was awful I often listen to MSG taking more time listening to Cozy’s drumming than Michael’s guitar playing,, Rest Well Cozy ..
Ritchie always loved Cozy
One of my fav parts is his filling at the end of 16th century greensleeve live on stage, coming home and tarot woman...
And…. Still I’m Sad
cozy was definitely fire
Great to see Colin Hart again 😍
Out of all of the bands he played with, I still never really heard how he was hired to play on Cinderella’s “Long Cold Winter” album. These guys from Philly got this English legend… Loved him with Sabbath.
I got to see Cozy with ELP, he was an amazing drummer.
Great Drummer, really made it a powerful band. All the albums.
Magus Realm. In whatever band he was in. And his TV show was great. Or whatever it was. I seen clips and would love to see more.
Cozy in the top 10 drummer.
I saw him live with Rainbow and later with ELP, replacing Carlo Palmer. Powerhouse drummer.
Cozy was an excellent drummer with a unique rock approach to play and an identifiable sound. He was slo the best to watch and had that 'cool' factor! RIP Cozy you are very much missed!
Great drummer. Is greatly missed
Loved Cozy. Gary driscoll was awesome also. Great album that first one
Cozy Powell was a true professional. I first became aware of him through the Jeff Beck group on the Rough and Ready album in 1971. His given name was Colin Trevor Flooks so it's obvious why he changed his name to something more memorable. Apparently he named himself after the great Jazz Drummer Cozy Cole.
He played with another guitar hero, Jeff Beck
Yep, Rough and Ready is one of my favorite JB albums.
Michael Schenker too
First time I saw Cozy was with Jeff Beck.
I've said this before on other Cozy vids but his intro on Rainbow's Lost in Hollywood from the Down to Earth album is awesome. Some other recordings of this exist but the one on Down to Earth is in a class of its own.
Cozy Powell was awesome. RIP
Great drummer.
Imagine Your level of confidence:
- Blackmore want You in the band and you tell him:
- Ok ill think about it xDD
R.I.P. Cozy !!!!! you left so unjustly, so unjustly..................
Cozy Powell, baquetas de hierro.
I love rainbow when dio and cozy were in the band I actually like it even more than purple tbh
Only saw Cozy in action once - Brian May at Brixton Academy 1993
What a storming performance! !! - I'm not a fan of drum solos personally but his solo was powerhouse
Cozys influence can clearly be heard with Rainbow and Brian May.. his drumming added a special atmosphere and depth to the songs.
I often wonder if it was Cozy who influenced the sing Catch the rainbow and turned it from a solemn ballard into a great hard rock song. ?
Catch the Rainbow was on their first album, Cozy hadn't joined yet.
Cozy was excellent too bad his life ended tragic
If you´re uploading more uncut excerpts from this Ritchie interview, it would be awesome to see some uncut talking about this period of Rainbow!
I saw him with Whitesnake and MSG - a POWERHOUSE!
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
Saw him with Rainbow and MSG.
I'm searching about Cozy telling the day Ritchie turned his back to the audience during the whole gig.
,,,,, great drummer - one of the best ,,,,,, fact.
Too bad there wasn’t more - they had a great chemistry. Then you add Dio over that … forget it. Legend.
Cozy is God Drummer !!!
Coze was the best.
The legend COZY POWE(R)LL
I always thought Cozy did a great job of filling in for Carl Palmer in ELP
Yes i saw them at MSG in Ny with Cozy 1986
Where is this from? Would like to see the whole thing
Was the live footage a deleted scene from “This Is Spinal Tap”?
Рок 🎸 навсегда
Was that Bernie Marsden? What band was that at the end?
Yes . And the band was called ; Cozy Powell's Hammer .
@@halcyon289and Don Airy was also in that band. Wow.
What was that song, at the end?
na na na song -- great lost in time tune ;;
0:34 Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but my poor old eyes are picking out Bernie Marsden and Don Airey.
Correct
@@seethroughhead505 where those guys in a band together?
@@razor7394 Cozy Powell's Hammer
@@seethroughhead505 Thanks
@@seethroughhead505 OK, and who's the singer?
Who's the band playing at the end?
"Cozy Powell's Hammer"
@@InterestingStuff888 Thanks
a kick ass drummer with Jeff Beck, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath.
rock community really lost a legendary drummer.
Na Na Na,the star was not drummer Cozy but that incredible singer..He would have been fantastic in ACDC
Cozy Beat his Drums Like they Owed him Money .........
Cozy replaced Carl Palmer on ELP. Ritchie should have brought Palmer to perform on Rainbow 2016-18. But he was looking only for money, so picked up the cheapest
To think Ritchie suggested this weird hairdo from BN sounded like Cozy. To think he suggested Romero was a combi of Mercury and Dio........Should have taken JLT, Daisley or Smith, Carey or Paul Morris. I suppose Rosenthal and Stone would not be interested?
I'm a guitarist so not a drum expert but I know there are technically better drummers but "Heavy Rock" isn't just about that, I'd just say listen to Cozy on Rainbow's "Kill the King" and tell me anyone thats ever picked up a set of sticks could have done better....RIP Cozy ( Colin Flooks )
Cozy was great, but Ritchie saying American drummers couldn't play a shuffle........give me a break.
Sounds like Slade
Cozy was as good as Ian Paice anytime anyplace
not technically as good..ian was like buddy rich in 1972
@@geneboris185 Cozy could hit harder though lol and was cooler he died racing his car and Blackmore once said Cozy scared him when he drove Blackmore at 140mph through German villages lol
@@christineayres7199 you listen to cozy with the jeff beck group? real tasty drumming...great stuff
Cozy didn't die racing his car, he died on the motorway when his car blew a tire. He was on the phone to his girlfriend at the time and his last words were 'Oh Shiit'
@@frank290862 Powell died on 5 April 1998 following a car crash while driving his Saab 9000 at 104 mph (167 km/h) in bad weather on the M4 motorway near Bristol. He had been dating a married woman who was having problems with her husband.[11] Upset, she phoned him and asked him to come quickly to her house which was approximately 35 miles (56 km) away. As he was driving to her house, she phoned him again and asked "Where are you?" He informed her he was on his way and she then heard him say "Oh shit!" followed by a loud bang.[11]
Died at the wheel driving and on his mobile phone
Driving at high speed to save his damsel in distress. Talking to her on phone .
Cozy lost the Hendrix gig on the toss of a coin with Mitch Mitchell, as they couldn't be separated on ability.
No it wasAynsley Dunbar who lost the coin toss
It was Aynsley Dunbar and not Cozy.
Blackmore seemed to go insane..pretending he was a 15 century king living in a castle
I prefer Ian Paice
You kidding?
@@saralemirande3504 Ian Paice and Cozy Powell had great respect for each other and always spoke positively about each other.
And they knew they were made of similar stuff when it came to their drumming. Both liked Bobby Elliot and his way of playing the drums.
They played the way R. Blackmore wanted and liked. Of course, Ian Paice would have passed the 15-minute shuffle test as well.
Cozy was always louder, but not necessarily better than Ian Paice. Ian Paice was a more technically skilled drummer, he could do all the big band drumming like Rich, Krupa and Bellson, but he could also play hard rock and bring those swing influences into his playing.
It is/was common to both of them that there was actually very little that they could not have played brilliantly. I'm not sure if both - purely in terms of speed - could have kept up with a Dave Lombardo, I rather doubt it. But it's also more about quantity than quality, so a comparison with the fastest Speed Metal drummers is nonsense anyway.
Cozy's successors at Rainbow, Rondinelli and Bürgi, played "cleaner" and more "American" than Cozy, but that was also intentional - by Ritchie Blackmore ;-). From around 1981, towards the end of rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore favored a more American sound.
sorry ritchie! You couldnt hold Bolins or Rorys? Such a AH! Hell I think Trower put ya to shame!
He never should have needed to audition....Blackmore was a **
lol thats not now how it works with bands, part of the audition isnt just to see how you do playing wise but if theirs a chemistry amongst members and if you’re a cool/easy person to be around
Play a shuffle for 15 minutes??? A drummer should be able to play a shuffle for 15 hours! Poor Ritchie was always surrounded by crappy musicians.
Never even heard of rainbow🤷♂️
Rondinelli was the best
