Re: Rainbow Stargazer solo

Cozy's drum intro alone, is enough to make this an all time favorite.  I love everything about this tune, including Ronnie's typically odd and fantastic lyrics.  Blackmore's solo just pushes it even further into the unexplored beyond.  Ritchie is most certainly unique and completely underrated as a ...

Re: Interesting playing philosophy stuff from Marty Friedman
