I saw Bobby Rondinelli play live on the Black Sabbath Cross Purposes tour in February 1994 at the State Theater in Detroit, MI. with the Tony Iommi-Geezer Butler- Tony Martin-Bobby Rondinelli & Geoff Nichols (keyboards) line-up; with Morbid Angel & Motorhead as opening bands. This concert was BY FAR the loudest concert I've ever been to. The State theater was such a small and narrow concert hall, the sound was fantastic. I could barely hear anything for 3 days afterward. And it was my favorite concert I've ever been to. In March 2007 I saw the band Black Sabbath (or "Heaven & Hell") as they called themselves at this point, since Ronnie James Dio was back in the band for the 3rd time again at this point, at the John Labatt hockey arena in London, Ontario Canada; with the line-up of: Iommi, Butler, Dio, Appice. And Down & Megadeth as opening bands. This time unfortuneately the concert was in such a huge arena, the sound wasn't nearly as good as when I saw the band back in 1994 at the small concert hall in Detroit, MI. And my seat was on the complete opposite end of the building from the stage, so you practically would need binoculars to even see anything. And also down on the floor area between my seat and the stage, there were so many technicians and equipment everywhere, it was extremely distracting. And the two hour drive one way from my home in Michigan over into Canada on a work day was a drag too. So I would rather see the bare-bones, but louder than Hell concert I saw the band at in 1994 (not to mention a much better view of the stage since it was so close). Over the huge arena concert any day.

back in the early 70s i was a cozy powell fan then in about end of 77 somebody gave me rainbow rising and said listen to this as soon as i open the cover i became a rainbow fan, i was gutted when cozy quit rainbow and thought they could not replace him , and then i saw bobby in the band and never missed cozy disappointed he joined whitesnake after
Rainbow are very underrated group, and I think they were a superb , so many members were involved, dio, the mighty voice, graham bonnet, who should have made another album with Ritchie, and joe lynn turner who released some great solo albums and worked with many artists such as deep purple, Glenn Hughes and more, without rainbow we would have missed out on so many triumphs such as rainbow rising, stargazer, the gates of Babylon, I surrender, all night long, street of dreams, many many more this group saw me thru a few chapters in my life both good and bad and I always found a song from these guys that fitted the mood, once again Ritchie gave us some great frontmen that gave us some excellent music
Also great drummers and keyboard players- Thank you Time traveller for your point of view. I would like to invite you to subscribe to our channel if you don´t do it yet.
He is such an awesome drummer, really, really good, and so underrated. ..amazing talent....i didn't realize he was quietly drumming in the background of some of my favorite albums...super cool.super nice..they dont make them like this anymore...hopefully they paid him well...I sincerely bought it though...music business is such a scam for most honest musicians.....🤦🏻
Man this guy is a badass..I rember seeing the video Stone Cold and thinking to myself with drummer like this guy, who needs security / bouncer that look he had on his face spinning the drum sticks with that leather jacket and big hair...look intimidating as heck🤦🏻awesome drummer he has worked with so many awesome bands..listening to him talk now I can see how he is a straight shooter , meaning he will tell you exactly how he feels 🤦🏻 I'm thinking if he wouldn't been a famous drummer he could of have been a mob guy lol...slamming hoe's and cadillac doors 😎😎😎
That was a good interview I wish I had known him when his drums were missing I have a Set advantage Roger drums They're in Matt condition I bought him when I was 19 years old And I still have them at the age 65 Years old I'm just not able to play anymore I was hoping to find someone that would be interested in purchasing some vintage Roger drums A professional drummer knows what they're worth And if they would make me a good offer I would take that I have a set of summons electronic drums They're easier for me to set up and I use headphones because I live in a neighborhood If you know what you want it arrested Just text me on here and I will contact You if you're intereste It's a 27 piece drum Set😮
Cool video. As im watching and listening, i get the feeling that mr Blackmore is a dictator of sorts. He has a non democratic way of doing things. Just what i observe.
Bobby is NOT a nice person...me and several other friends have tried speaking to him after shows and he is very arrogant and kinda snubs you...maybe it's small man issue
Bobby lived near me on long island. Back in the late 80s , he used to play handball with us when we cut out of school. We actually didn't know it was him for a while.
On the other hand. I met Joe Lynn Turner in 96' after a Purple show in Manhattan where I walked up to him and he put his arm around me and treated me like an old buddy. We spoke for an hour. A wonderful man !
Bobby Rondinelli is a great drummer and a great person. 🤘
Thank you very much Ralph. We invite you to subscribe to our channel. Have a Good Sunday
Luckily I've seen Bobby with Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. He is an amazing talent
Thank you Dibbdroid for your answer. Hole you like Made in Metal. Bobby is an amazing drummer and still working as you can see.

Rondinelli ... Fabulous player !
Ritchie’s roadie “cookie” said that they left the road cases with your drums on your front lawn! True story? 🥁👍😉
Nice joke, but not to him, hahaha
Nice taste in Music Bobby!

Great job replacing Cozy Powell .Also loved him in Sabbath
Me too.
Solid playing on "Cross Purposes!"
You're right husq48. Thank you very much.
Yes, great drums and great album.
@@Stefan- You're right
On Everything! This guy is the greatest All around drummer there is. Criminally underrated....and way better than Cozy. and I love Cozy to death .
Wow bobby at the 3:57mark is playing sonor...

Interesting post, Jerry Fish. I hope you like more interviews in our channel. Thank you very much.

His band his rules
Bobby is NOT a nice person...me and several other friends have tried speaking to him after shows and he is very arrogant and kinda snubs you...maybe it's small man issue
Curious. I didn´t know anything about that.
Bobby lived near me on long island. Back in the late 80s , he used to play handball with us when we cut out of school. We actually didn't know it was him for a while.
@@Kgio-2112 As you can see, K Gio, different people have different points of view. A famous person is not forced to be nice all the time.
On the other hand. I met Joe Lynn Turner in 96' after a Purple show in Manhattan where I walked up to him and he put his arm around me and treated me like an old buddy. We spoke for an hour. A wonderful man !
Wtf? R.b and Moog punching each other out and only now we hear about it??
