damn youtube always be trying to disable my comments for no good reason. hope you enjoy this new video anyways, so cool to finally do a full album reaction!!
If you are going to keep doing full album reactions you must do Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. My other recommendations are Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche and Powerslave by Iron Maiden. Lyrics of Operation Mindcrime are telling a story so you should check the lyrics too on that one.
You have a face that will always confuse RUclips! I bet you can't buy beer without being asked about your age. My bet is that will be the case for another 10 years. Lucky!
"Light In The Black" is actually a continuation of "Stargazer", in that it's the same person who escaped slavery thanks to the demise of the 'wizard' in "Stargazer" who now has to find his way back home. Deep Purple's first heavy album "In Rock" is also a pivotal album, not only in music history but also in the band's career. It's THE album where Blackmore blew all the stops and started using a Fender Stratocaster to the delight of millions, except maybe for their eardrums. "Deep Purple In Rock" has maybe the very first shredder song in history in the form of the scorching "Hard Lovin' Man".
For me Rising is one of the greatest albums of all time.Dio,the pocket rocket.They say all good things come in small packages and they surely did with Dio.Great reaction girl.♥️
'Rising' should be regarded as one of the greatest Rock records of all time. Absolutely LOVED your reaction and I'm so happy for your love and appreciation for these songs. Cheers Kira! Now, whenever you get around to it, now you HAVE TO react to HEAVEN AND HELL (The Album) by BLACK SABBATH, featuring our lord and savior Dio on Vocals. It has to happen!!!!
@@jasonsmith666 Both? There are four of them. The other two are even more criminally overlooked. Doubt any of it will happen anytime soon. This channel seems to be going down the usual road; once it starts with popularity polls determining the song selections, not before long only hit singles get reviewed.
@@M.Never. It's why I said 'You know what I mean' I was having a play. I think you have to go chronologically though. I should have put a 'wink' after both.
@@kirawasareactor The live in Munich gig was filmed by German TV has been released on DVD so maybe you would like to react to the live video, here is one song (Kill the king) ruclips.net/video/zEaxow3PoO0/видео.html
Rising is definitely a hard rock/metal influencer. Deep Purple songs worth checking out: Mandrake Root 1970 London video, Burn live 1975 in Paris video, the entire 1976 album Come Taste the Band, live 1985 video for Under the Gun. A Light in the Black was part of the set on tour but had to be dropped because Cozy Powell was physically exhausted after Stargazer and LITB. Blackmore definitely took to the stratosphere on the solo of LITB. I wore this album out when it came out. So watching you gave me such a great feeling.😁😁
Even if you don't react to it or anything you HAVE to listen to/watch this live Rainbow performance of "Mistreated" from 1977 in Munich. One of the best Dio live vocal performances and you get to see how delightfully extra Blackmore is during his solo portions (even though it certainly isn't the most intricate of his playing) ruclips.net/video/3RiJKuYvy0s/видео.html
Rainbow is one of my favourite bands of all time. However ~I don’t know why~ I haven’t listened any Rainbow songs for months(And I’m definitely not proud of that).But the way you listen, I mean the excitement and enthusiasm you have while listening the album has just made me like this album so much more than before. That’s why I’m gonna listen Rainbow all day long. Sooo thanks for that.
Omg this is so beautiful!! I just watched it back and even made myself emotional just watching this video. So happy to convey my passion through the screen! Happy listening :)
Yeah, Stargazer always hits me like a neutron star resting right between my eyes. This intense, but amazing pressure. Such a great song. If you're getting to Judas Priest next (awesome) then you going to be hitting Iron Maiden soon too? You've got so many great metal bands to discover, right up to some amazing stuff right now! The vicarious joy I get watching you hear things for the first time that I've loved for decades is wonderful, so please, just keep going, whatever you pick next. I'm just along for the ride. :)
As far as exploring the roots of heavy metal, you should check out Uriah Heep. A good place to start would be The Magicians Birthday. Interesting fact, the term heavy metal was first used to describe the Uriah Heep sound.
No it wasn’t ... it was first used in the 1960’s to describe the Byrds.... not actually what we would consider heavy metal at all... but that’s when the phrase was first coined.
@@ElwoodShort I am an old guy. You are going to have to show me editorial evidence. Because I was listening to this shit when it was new. You show me an article I will agree, but for now Heep has the first mention of heavy metal to describe their sound that I have ever heard.
Oh man, you remind me so much of the first time o listened to Stargazer. It makes you feel so overwhelmed, you want to explode with so much excitement. To me, it's easily the best song ever and always gets me every time i listen to it.
I am so glad you are discovering this album. Light in the black is such a great follow to Stargazer. And I LOVE your shirt! The Stone Roses ROCK. Fools Gold!
This is genuinely one of the best things I've seen on RUclips. I'm vibing every note along with you. Makes me so happy to see someone much younger than me discover this music and love it like I do. Although a little removed from Rainbow, looking at the songs you're liking most across the channel as a whole I suggest "The end of heartache" by Killswitch Engage. I think you'll dig the structure and drums!
iron maiden after priest is a good stepping stone for you as its still in that second wave of British metal. Hallowed by thy Name. Rime of the ancient mariner. Run to the hills. The trooper. Number of the Beast. Alexander the Great.
Shiiii all my youth comes back *sob* I can truly love you for being a simple natural girl, and that Stargazer dance.. was nothing but epic! not seen such true spontan "think what you want" for a long time, i can recognise myself so much ♥ ♥ ♥ Trying to get out here but theres so fukken much good music i cant shut yt down (how's that for a damage?
I just watched this. That’s my favorite reaction ever. Very powerful. I love your willingness to show your actual feelings and emotions. Thank you. I remember getting this album when it came out and as a deep purple/Ritchie fanatic I was NOT disappointed, to say the least. It’s just great seeing a younger person from today appreciating it.
Great reaction, Rainbow Rising is one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. The Richie Blackmore guitar's and Tony Carey keyboards work beautiful together, the organ sounds is the keyboards, Cozy Powell on drums, Jimmy Bain on bass and of course Ronnie James Dio vocals. Rest in peace Ronnie, Cozy and Jimmy.
Stargazer is so perfectly constructed, every element so finely tuned, that it's pure beauty. A Light in the Black is not that, A Light in the Black doesn't give a shit about being intelligent, it's going to be maximum awesome and there's nothing you can do about it; and I find that endlessly entertaining. I think I've commented this before, but just a reminder, you gotta listen to Dire Straits, specifically listen to the studio version of Sultans of Swing, and then the incredible twice as long Alchemy Live/Hammersmith Odeon version of Sultans of Swing. While Rainbow grabs your attention with heavy sounds that you want to dance to, Dire Straits fluttery melodies puts you in more of a Zen state where you just want to close your eyes and feel it. It's a totally different feeling.
Dire Straits would be pretty cool to react to, I've heard all their stuff but not everything. I have written them down in my 'non-metal' list of ones to get to!
Amazing video, very nice to see people touched by good music!! Looking forward for the deep purple reaction (I recommend hard loving man, perfect Stangers, sometimes I feel like screaming one of each decade 70s,80s,90s)
The comments returned! Glad you're enjoying yourself. It's contagious! It's before 6:00 in the morning and my wife is still in bed, but I could have been jumping around with you. Pre-metal suggestion. Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer. They were the loudest 60s group. Out of Focus is a good one.
the comments keep trying to turn off. I will stay up and keep turning them back on..... thank god I have LOTR to get me through the night. Ooooh take it all the way back to the 60s!
@@kirawasareactor There's also Iron Butterfly or even Velvet Underground with I Heard Her Call My Name or the impossible Sister Ray (17 minutes of squall, lyrics involving sex, murder and more...relentless!).
@@kirawasareactor Kira! You have to hear VU. They were proto everything. Punk, metal, goth, alternative etc. They were the ultimate rule breakers of the time.
Awesome reaction and dancing as always, Rising truly is great and important. That double bass drumming in A light in the black is pretty revolutionary. You've only scratched the surface of Ozzy era Sabbath though, so check them out some more! I recommend Children of the grave, Into the void, Sabbath bloody sabbath, Killing yourself to live and Sabbra cadabra.
Thank you for thinking my dancing is awesome. Rising kicks ass!!! Yep I have a PARANOID album listen coming. After that I will want more Ozzy sabbath I think!
That, young lady, was the most fun I've ever had watching a reaction video!! You literally danced through all of Stargazer lol. I was a huge Purple fan and was genuinely upset when Blackmore left, but when my friend brought this album over I got over it. Cozy Powell's speed on the drums blew my mind( I was only 15 and hadn't heard of a double kick before). It's gratifying to see this music live on and resonate with young people, especially with such enthusiasm. Thank you for that! My God you were so hilarious I put my 1983 cassette version on (loud)and rocked along with you🤣
Good on ya Kira, you not only listen to the music, but you actually hear & feel it. Many people just listen, without taking in the different riffs, key changes, and multi level layers or backgrounds that flow with the instruments. Enjoy!!
Another early pioneer of Metal to check out would also be Iron Butterfly and I don't mean their song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida . They have better songs like "Flowers and Beads", "New Day", "Possession", and "Fields of Sun" are all bangers and are worth hearing. Not saying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida isn't worth a listen but, I feel the other songs I mentioned are far more worth a listen to. Great reaction! It's always nice to see someone rocking out!
This video was really wonderful. I can remember hearing Rising for the first time I think in about 1989, when it was already considered an OLD record, and also being knocked out by Stargazer in particular. I never admitted it to friends at the time, but if there was a video filming me listening to it over and over in my bedroom, my reaction wouldn't have been very different to yours! As for Deep Purple and Judas Priest - they are both great great bands, but nobody can agree on which records to start with. For DP, you can pretty much start anywhere from their run of amazing records between 1970 and 1975 (what fans call the Mk II and Mk III line ups). Very few bad moments there, although my personal favourite is 'Burn'. For Judas Priest, my only advice is to not start with Painkiller - people love watching reactions to it because it's so over the top, and heavy, but it's actually very non-typical for them. Seeing as you're getting into the 70s Hard Rock records, a great place to start would be Sad Wings of Destiny, which is considered the first big heavy metal landmark after the early Sabbath records, or if you want to go a little later, Hell Bent For Leather. Sorry for the essay length comment - it's just so inspiring to see people enjoying this music! Edit: I'm guessing, reading one of your replies below, that you've already listened to Painkiller - all I'll say is don't let it put you off!
This was an awesome reaction and happy that people arevdiscovering music they enjoy! Yes, go with the list you have girl! As you liked this album, I think you would like to put Long Live Rock 'n Roll, the next Rainbow album in queue. It is the last of the 3 to feature Dio on vocals. It is honestly another album I think you will like every song on. Enjoyed the video a lot, have a nice day!
I loved that you loved Rising, it’s as close to a perfect album that you’ll ever be likely to hear. You hit the nail on the head thought. When Dio and Blackmore were together there was a magic that neither found again in their careers....as good as those careers are/were. The thing about ‘Blackmore Fever is that there is known cure. I caught it 35 years ago and I don’t want to get rid of it 😂
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was fifteen/sixteen and had a very similar reaction to what you did, and 'Stargazer' with Ronnie's voice brought tears to my eyes, just perfection!
So happy you did this reaction!! it's truly one of the best albums of all time 🌈 For other full albums you should check out Long Live Rock'n'Roll, Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath (still with Dio on vocals) and also In Rock, Machine Head and Burn by Deep Purple, you'll definitely love all of those
Greatest metal album ever. A concept album which is made great by its many wonderful parts. Cozy Powell’s drumming is amazing. Dino’s vocals are incredible. Jimmy Bains bass is awesome as well as Tony Carey’s keyboards. Finally, Ritchie Blackmore! I need not say more
Fabulous,thoroughly enjoyed that...had the very same reaction back in 1977 as this was the first album I ever bought and was hooked forever...welcome to the rainbow family.
@@kirawasareactor love your reactions to rainbow it’s great to see you really get into rainbow through stargazer and rainbow rising as it’s one of the greatest albums of all time although I’m very biased....I’m from Belfast Northern Ireland And was one of only a handful of rock fans growing up in Belfast during the mid to late seventies when I bought this album and stargazer was the first song I listened to and have loved Ritchie ever since....I actually kissed ritchies hand at a blackmores night concert a few years ago which my 3 daughters continually have a good laugh about...!!! So glad you enjoy the music...all the best,norman.
In the live set Cozy Powell (drums) asked them to stop playing Stargazer and A Light In The Black back to back as he was blown out at the end of it! The solo on Light has such as sense of intense energy. Blackmore was The Man back then.
I reacted sort of the same way to this album when I was 15 or so. I adored classic Deep Purple since I was 11, 12 years old. My uncle once gave me some old mixtapes (Deep Purple, Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin etc.) so I could record my own mixtapes over them, but I just listened tot them and played them till they were totally dull. I discovered Rainbow when I was 15. Kids at school thought I was weird listening to that old stuff, while they were listening to Iron Maiden, Wasp and that kind of stuff... There was no internet then so I had to discover 'different' music through books and vinyl in libraries, documentaries on liniar tv (no cable back then), magazines etc. The album was released when I was not even 2 years old, so it was already 'classic rock' when I heard it for the first time. I'm 46 now but great to see young people from nowadays can still get the same reaction to a great classic album.
It´s funny, watching you discover all this music reminds me of when i started my journey through metal, and the burst of emotions that came with it. Keep´em comming!!!
With how much you love Dio. You should check out the tribute album done for him called The Last In Line. Alot of different artists cover his songs. You could listen to the artist to hear their songs then react to their cover to see how they did! Would be awesome to see that!! Been loving your reactions so far keep up the great work!!!
the guitar outro on 'Run with the Wolf' is my favourite Blackmore solo!-( plus nice t-shirt! I also love The Stone Roses,being lucky enough to live in 'Madchester' 1989-92!)
I think you should give Iron Maiden another shot. Their first two albums had a different singer and had a different sound overall from their later albums. Some songs I'd recommend from their first two albums: - Prowler - Phantom of the Opera - Wrathchild - Killers
With Priest you've got a rollercoaster ride. old school blues infused hard rock through to a genre defiining heavy/power metal masterpiece. one of the all time great voices too.
It's great to hear that you will do more Deep Purple! As I've said before: listen to the whole live album "Made In Japan"! They take their studio songs to a whole new level!
One of my favourite albums of all time and love your reaction to it, gives me hope that today’s youth has taste. Now you need to do Machine Head full album by Deep Purple. It is purple at their most versatile and Blackmore is awesome on it
It's so nice to accompany you in your "voyage" of music. I love music in general, but I mostly like Rock and Metal. I love Ronnie James Dio's music, maybe one day you could do a video reacting to the "evolution" of Ronnie James Dio. I mean, you can start with songs from the Red Caps and Ronnie and the Prophets, then, songs from Elf and Rainbow, after continue with his Black Sabbath era and then his solo years in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. I think it that it could be an interesting video an experience for you :D :D Another good reaction could be that you "compare" or watch the live version of Mistreated by Deep Purple in 1974, and also the live version by Rainbow with DIO in 1977. Thank you for your videos and sharing your energy with us and I hope you have an excellent weekend Kira.
So funny you saying about Dio's vocals & Ozzy on Black Sabbath - Just wait till you hear Dio ......on Black Sabbath ! Lol - Album "Heaven & Hell" Yep he joined Black Sabbath....& you're gonna love that album. Happy listening - & this was the best album reaction I have ever seen.
As usual excellent video. Your enthusiasm and passion for music is contagious. Rainbow Rising is dear to my heart as well. Now listen to the other Dio era Rainbow albuns, the album after Rising, Long Live Rock 'n Roll is great too. Gates Of Babylon and Kill The King are standouts. Rainbow Rising is one of the seminal albums in the creation of the subgenre of Power Metal, maybe you can explore the subgenre later. About King Crimson. KC have a lot "eras", it is one of the most experimental bands in existence. And they have the influence in early heavy metal. Songs for reaction for King Crimson is impossible in youtube I believe, they block everything in reaction channels. But recommendations Starless (one of the most epic songs of all time), all the album Red is essential, it is a absolute classic (in the level of In The Court of Crimson King). Fracture, Larks' tongues in aspic part 1 and 2, The Talking Drum, The Exiles, Easy Money, Lament, Discipline. The album Discipline after a hiatus is a new wave influenced album with ex-Talking Head guitarrist Andrew Bellew is excelent too. Where KC excels is live perfomances. A lot of their songs are composed live between improvisations, their album Starless and Bible Black is a live album edited to look like a studio album. And talking about King Crimson, maybe you can react (if you already haven't listen) to Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson (founder of Porcupine Tree). It is metal (only in the later albums), it is influenced by King Crimson and another 70s prog acts, and indie rock. I recommend Trains, Anesthetize, Arriving Somewhere but Not Here, Drive Home, Luminol, Routine (the last 3 from Steven Wilson solo). Judas Priest I don't know If you managed to listen to any song from the Sad Wings of Destiny album because in a lot of countries the album is missing, because of a label problem. But it is one of the great classic albums of heavy metal, Victims of Change from this album is a essential Priest song. And this is the end of another long post of mine.
kirawasareactor Not an easy find and rather expensive but well worth it. Some of the more dull songs from their debut album (Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow), particularly “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves” and “Still I’m Sad” are almost completely different songs in their live act during this period. Another must-have is Rainbow Live in Munich ‘77. This album is more accessible and also is available on DVD. Unfortunately they did not play “Stargazer” on this one, but it’s still fantastic
Ted Burnard Yep On Stage is also essential listening for any true Rainbow fan. However, “Live in Germany” has the only live, non-bootleg performance of “Stargazer”, at least that I’m aware of. And Blackmore’s solo on it is next level, even by Blackmore standards. And all three albums have the cool little Wizard of Oz intro you mentioned 🙂
I love your enthusiasm, it´s amazing! What makes it even better is that it´s wirh Rainbow, and You recognize the Genius of Ritchie Blackmore and the fabulous voice of Ronnie James Dio. Love your reactions 😉
Emerson Lake and Palmer, YES. Early prog Genesis. Marillion. Hawkwind. Gentle Giant, Nektar, Camel Van Der Graff Generator...All great prog bands...Caravan too!!
Wow - You're experiencing what I did when I heard 'In Rock and Made in Japan' and then all the way through the Rainbow years. Lucky enough to see Ritchie in multiple Purple/Rainbow/Blackmores Night line ups - Simply the BEST !!
Oh girl, I'm disappointed it took me almost 20 hours to watch your new vid. You're right, Blackmore+Dio= Fire!!! I'm happy for your explanation in the begining. Thanks for one more beautiful ride. P.S.: when you're started crying I was already there, and it warmed my heart so much!!!!
Not the first time I'm teary watching your videos (to say the least). I've commented before and told you how true your reactions sound and look, and it makes me feel happy and emotional that I've been there too. I felt what feel now. And for that I thank you with all my heart.
“Is it possible that this could be my favourite album of all time?” Well, for millions it is, so yeah, for sure! 😀 If you’re hooked on Ritchie Blackmore, then I entreat you again to check out his later work in Blackmore’s Night.
If I now tried to leap around like you did in this video, I would probably needed my inhalers or a dose of nebulisers at the local hospital😂. Oh I wish I had that energy and was 20 or so again😂. Really enjoyed your reaction and found it interesting how you felt your attention was being grabbed by guitar and vocals more than bass for the first time. I think when you come into contact for the first time with someone a bit special like both of those guys you cannot help but we swayed as you listen. As I said on your previous reaction this was the album that fully got me into metal.That is over 40 years ago and I still adore this album and am finding new artists to get excited by in the rock/metal/prog and blues genres. I hope that you continue to find new bands to enjoy as you get older (it happens... try to do it disgracefully 😁). If you don't know them yet then I will mention Rush as they have a vast catalogue to enjoy. Perhaps either "A Farewell To Kings" or "Permanent Waves" listen throughs might be fun for you. All 3 band members are superb and you won't know which member to air play to... it doesn't help that Geddy sometimes is playing bass and keys at the same time whilst singing! Some one else has definitely mentioned Uriah Heep and I can say that they are excellent as well. For King Crimson suggestions either "Larks Tongue In Aspic" or "Discipline". You can get to see how they change through the years whilst still making amazing music. Again great reaction. I wish you all the best.
What made this fun to watch was that you didn't just listen to the album, you experienced it!! I believe that you would get a similar feeling with the Rainbow album Long Live Rock and Roll. If nothing else the song Gates of Babylon would be a good introduction to that album! Good stuff Kira!!
So gratifying to see albums that have meant everything to us being discovered and loved for the first time. It seems that even amongst metalheads, there are factions that don’t go back to the real roots of the genre; at most, some will go back as far as the early ‘80’s and the emergence of thrash metal but albums like Rising both define and transcend metal at such an early stage of the game.
I get emotional at the exact same spot you did on Stargazer. I don't know why but this sport resonates with me deeply and I got teary eyes every time. It is as if I got a glimpse of all the sadness of the world for one moment or something like that.
5:00 while it is true what you say, the outro (as well as the intro) to Tarot Woman was a Synthesizer solo, by keyboardist Tony Carey :) 5:50 well, Ritchie wouldn't be bothered to play anything boring (which even resulted in fights with the other band members later in the carreer during the Deep Purple reunion - besides personality isues) Part of the reason Jon Lord played such a distinct hard organ in Deep Purple - he had to be the rythm player ;) 9:05 indeed, the songs 2,3,4 are often overlooked because compared to the rest of the album, because they're kinda basic, but still brilliant rocksongs. 16:01 and the classical inspired instrumentals at it once again :D 16:41 when they went on tour, they wanted to play Stargazer and A Light in the Black back to back like on the album - but they had to drop the latter after a few shows because Cozy Powell physically couldn't continue the show after that :P One of the best rock albums of all time indeed. Now some time check out the live show: either -the album 'On Stage' as it was released on vinyl in the 70s -Cologne 1976 - one of the concerts recorded for that album in its entirety, including Stargazer. (there are also full releases of Düsseldorf 1976 and Nuremberg 1976 - I like Cologne the best) -Munich 1977 video - the only full video there is, even if it's a TINY bit weaker than the '76 tour and it's live recordings, and also misses Stargazer... (there is also some interisting trivia around that show ;) )
Fantastic reaction👌🖤 Symphony X: The Odyssey, is a 20+ minute song of pure complex, magical song that sounds so utterly unique. However, “When All is Lost” is the perfect introduction song. That musicianship. 👌
Oh! And also I love that emotional part of you! I tear up on songs as well. So,I know that your heart is in that song. I see another of similarities in your passion for music that I have in myself ! You would be the perfect girl that I have always dreamed of . One out of many reasons I say that is due to the fact that I love music clearly like you do. Yes, the album was good !! I liked Stargazer, alot!!
Brilliant. Good to see such joy, especially after the last year. How about trying "Black Holes and Revelations" by Muse at some point? "Knights of Cydonia", "Assassin" and "Map of the Problematique" are fabulous.
Wow... what a reaction. And I can see of lot of similarities with my first Rising listen: I too felt from the first track that this will be one of my all time favourites. And the first time I heard Stargazer was the first time any kind of music made me cry, there when the violin kicks in. Unreal emotions by both the music and the lyrics... Really enjoyed that. Can't wait to see your first time hearing Sabbath's albums with Dio. Also, if you like the first King Crimson I recommend their fourth and fifth albums or so, Larks Tongues in Aspic and Starless and Bible Black. They have more of a pink floyd vibe in those albums, they are more progressive with a psychedelic touch even in some songs. In all, I think they don't receive the credit they deserve, especially when compared to Pink Floyd. I m not saying they are better than them, but they are certainly underrated
Rainbow( and Blackmore ) peaked with this album, don't get me wrong, I'm a massive fan on Blackmore ( Deep Purple, Rainbow & Blackmore Night ) but 'Rising' on vinyl side 2 was just Stargazer and Light in the Black, stunning, and with Cozy on Drums and Dio on vocals and lyrics it's what you expect, a masterpiece.
damn youtube always be trying to disable my comments for no good reason. hope you enjoy this new video anyways, so cool to finally do a full album reaction!!
If you are going to keep doing full album reactions you must do Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. My other recommendations are Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche and Powerslave by Iron Maiden. Lyrics of Operation Mindcrime are telling a story so you should check the lyrics too on that one.
You have a face that will always confuse RUclips! I bet you can't buy beer without being asked about your age. My bet is that will be the case for another 10 years. Lucky!
Yes, even though the legal age to drink in Australia is 18 I was being asked for ID waaaay later than that age for sure
@@kirawasareactor why what age are you?
24... it’s been 6 years...
"Light In The Black" is actually a continuation of "Stargazer", in that it's the same person who escaped slavery thanks to the demise of the 'wizard' in "Stargazer" who now has to find his way back home. Deep Purple's first heavy album "In Rock" is also a pivotal album, not only in music history but also in the band's career. It's THE album where Blackmore blew all the stops and started using a Fender Stratocaster to the delight of millions, except maybe for their eardrums. "Deep Purple In Rock" has maybe the very first shredder song in history in the form of the scorching "Hard Lovin' Man".
True
AMAZING
I wore this album out in the 70's Jimmy. Awesome !
Dio: So many Dieeeeed!!
Kira: Dances excitedly.
HAHAAHAH
that's the power of music. Hahahah
I've never seen someone dance to Stargazer before thats hilarious and amazing. 10/10 dance moves. Glad Dio and Blackmore are being appreciated
Local australian woman goes insane after sniffing the rainbow
I feel like I didn’t just sniff 😦

For me Rising is one of the greatest albums of all time.Dio,the pocket rocket.They say all good things come in small packages and they surely did with Dio.Great reaction girl.♥️
Well, yes... same now!!! Dio's voice is incredible. Thank you!
Of course...! Only, unfortunately, it was poorly produced and recorded ... The bass guitar is inaudible.

@@LovelyDestructionSTL I don’t blame him. 😂
Damn right! His sound soo addictive
"What if it becomes one of my favourite albums of all time, is that possible?"
From personal experience: yes, it's very possible.
It happened to the both of us
Continuing with Dio/Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Children of the Sea and Sign of the southern cross are a mandatory listen.
Neon Knights too! Insanely good opener
'Rising' should be regarded as one of the greatest Rock records of all time. Absolutely LOVED your reaction and I'm so happy for your love and appreciation for these songs. Cheers Kira!
Now, whenever you get around to it, now you HAVE TO react to HEAVEN AND HELL (The Album) by BLACK SABBATH, featuring our lord and savior Dio on Vocals. It has to happen!!!!
The heaven and hell video, when it eventually happens, will be so amazing. I already know.
Rainbow Rising without doubt the greatest rock album ever.
Well, what obviously should be on your to do-list is Dio-Sabbath 😉
Mob Rules get left alone a lot. She should do both Dio Sabbath. You know what I mean.
@@jasonsmith666 Both? There are four of them. The other two are even more criminally overlooked.
Doubt any of it will happen anytime soon. This channel seems to be going down the usual road; once it starts with popularity polls determining the song selections, not before long only hit singles get reviewed.
@@M.Never. It's why I said 'You know what I mean' I was having a play. I think you have to go chronologically though. I should have put a 'wink' after both.
@@M.Never. Perhaps the key is: react to the best song on the album NOT to get radio airplay.👍
Listen raindow live in Munich 1977 or Deep purple made in japan.2 of the greatest live albums ever.
Yes both those videos are going to happen !!
I second that request. That show ('77 Munich) is absolutely the best of Ronnie and Richie. She would be blown away.
Absolutely yes. Rainbow mistreated live in 1977 with Ronnie James Dio is Rock's greatest vocal performance ever.
@@kirawasareactor The live in Munich gig was filmed by German TV has been released on DVD so maybe you would like to react to the live video, here is one song (Kill the king) ruclips.net/video/zEaxow3PoO0/видео.html
I love the beginning to sixteen century Greensleeves. Just shows what a versatile guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is
Your reactions are so funny and entertaining! I love it!
thank you!!
Rising is definitely a hard rock/metal influencer. Deep Purple songs worth checking out: Mandrake Root 1970 London video, Burn live 1975 in Paris video, the entire 1976 album Come Taste the Band, live 1985 video for Under the Gun. A Light in the Black was part of the set on tour but had to be dropped because Cozy Powell was physically exhausted after Stargazer and LITB. Blackmore definitely took to the stratosphere on the solo of LITB. I wore this album out when it came out. So watching you gave me such a great feeling.😁😁
if this lady doesn't make your day there is something up with you.
Even if you don't react to it or anything you HAVE to listen to/watch this live Rainbow performance of "Mistreated" from 1977 in Munich. One of the best Dio live vocal performances and you get to see how delightfully extra Blackmore is during his solo portions (even though it certainly isn't the most intricate of his playing)
ruclips.net/video/3RiJKuYvy0s/видео.html
You’d love the albums Dio did with Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and The Devil You Know.
Rainbow is one of my favourite bands of all time. However ~I don’t know why~ I haven’t listened any Rainbow songs for months(And I’m definitely not proud of that).But the way you listen, I mean the excitement and enthusiasm you have while listening the album has just made me like this album so much more than before. That’s why I’m gonna listen Rainbow all day long. Sooo thanks for that.
Omg this is so beautiful!! I just watched it back and even made myself emotional just watching this video. So happy to convey my passion through the screen! Happy listening :)
I think you'd absolutely love 'Sails of Charon' by Scorpions. the whole album "Taken by Force" is pretty great too.
Pretty great is an understatement.
Anything 70's SCORPS imo is flawless
Yeah and the album "in trance"
Good suggestion! Favorite Scorpions album and song - consider this a second vote for Taken By Force.
you were right my friend
Yeah, Stargazer always hits me like a neutron star resting right between my eyes. This intense, but amazing pressure. Such a great song.
If you're getting to Judas Priest next (awesome) then you going to be hitting Iron Maiden soon too? You've got so many great metal bands to discover, right up to some amazing stuff right now! The vicarious joy I get watching you hear things for the first time that I've loved for decades is wonderful, so please, just keep going, whatever you pick next. I'm just along for the ride. :)
Stargazer is AMAZING! Yes Iron Maiden will be coming up soon too!! It's so exciting :)
On the record Stargazer begins the second side
As far as exploring the roots of heavy metal, you should check out Uriah Heep. A good place to start would be The Magicians Birthday. Interesting fact, the term heavy metal was first used to describe the Uriah Heep sound.
Damn cool, they’ve been mentioned a bit. Would love to do a video on them soon
@@kirawasareactor Also give the Nazareth albums "Loud ’n’ Proud", "Rampantand" and especially "Hair of the Dog" a listen.
No it wasn’t ... it was first used in the 1960’s to describe the Byrds.... not actually what we would consider heavy metal at all... but that’s when the phrase was first coined.
@@ElwoodShort Surely it was coined by Steppenwolf in the song Born to be wild ?
@@ElwoodShort I am an old guy. You are going to have to show me editorial evidence. Because I was listening to this shit when it was new. You show me an article I will agree, but for now Heep has the first mention of heavy metal to describe their sound that I have ever heard.
Oh man, you remind me so much of the first time o listened to Stargazer. It makes you feel so overwhelmed, you want to explode with so much excitement. To me, it's easily the best song ever and always gets me every time i listen to it.
I absolutely love what you're doing dear, keep up the good work. Love seeing younger people discovering this great music. \m/
I am so glad you are discovering this album. Light in the black is such a great follow to Stargazer. And I LOVE your shirt! The Stone Roses ROCK. Fools Gold!
Amazing amazing album, can’t stop listening to it. Thanks I like that shirt too!
This is genuinely one of the best things I've seen on RUclips. I'm vibing every note along with you. Makes me so happy to see someone much younger than me discover this music and love it like I do. Although a little removed from Rainbow, looking at the songs you're liking most across the channel as a whole I suggest "The end of heartache" by Killswitch Engage. I think you'll dig the structure and drums!
iron maiden after priest is a good stepping stone for you as its still in that second wave of British metal. Hallowed by thy Name. Rime of the ancient mariner. Run to the hills. The trooper. Number of the Beast. Alexander the Great.
GREATEST!!! Stargazer reaction EVER!!!
Shiiii all my youth comes back *sob*
I can truly love you for being a simple natural girl, and that Stargazer dance.. was nothing but epic!
not seen such true spontan "think what you want" for a long time, i can recognise myself so much ♥ ♥ ♥
Trying to get out here but theres so fukken much good music i cant shut yt down (how's that for a damage?
I've been waiting for this for months !!!
This was an awesome reaction to an awesome album! So glad you loved it so much ;)
I just watched this. That’s my favorite reaction ever. Very powerful. I love your willingness to show your actual feelings and emotions. Thank you. I remember getting this album when it came out and as a deep purple/Ritchie fanatic I was NOT disappointed, to say the least. It’s just great seeing a younger person from today appreciating it.
Great reaction, Rainbow Rising is one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. The Richie Blackmore guitar's and Tony Carey keyboards work beautiful together, the organ sounds is the keyboards, Cozy Powell on drums, Jimmy Bain on bass and of course Ronnie James Dio vocals. Rest in peace Ronnie, Cozy and Jimmy.
Stargazer is so perfectly constructed, every element so finely tuned, that it's pure beauty. A Light in the Black is not that, A Light in the Black doesn't give a shit about being intelligent, it's going to be maximum awesome and there's nothing you can do about it; and I find that endlessly entertaining.
I think I've commented this before, but just a reminder, you gotta listen to Dire Straits, specifically listen to the studio version of Sultans of Swing, and then the incredible twice as long Alchemy Live/Hammersmith Odeon version of Sultans of Swing. While Rainbow grabs your attention with heavy sounds that you want to dance to, Dire Straits fluttery melodies puts you in more of a Zen state where you just want to close your eyes and feel it. It's a totally different feeling.
Dire Straits would be pretty cool to react to, I've heard all their stuff but not everything. I have written them down in my 'non-metal' list of ones to get to!
@@kirawasareactor Mark Knopfler is an amazing guitarist!!!!
Amazing video, very nice to see people touched by good music!! Looking forward for the deep purple reaction (I recommend hard loving man, perfect Stangers, sometimes I feel like screaming one of each decade 70s,80s,90s)
The comments returned!
Glad you're enjoying yourself. It's contagious! It's before 6:00 in the morning and my wife is still in bed, but I could have been jumping around with you.
Pre-metal suggestion. Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer. They were the loudest 60s group. Out of Focus is a good one.
the comments keep trying to turn off. I will stay up and keep turning them back on..... thank god I have LOTR to get me through the night. Ooooh take it all the way back to the 60s!
@@kirawasareactor
There's also Iron Butterfly or even Velvet Underground with I Heard Her Call My Name or the impossible Sister Ray (17 minutes of squall, lyrics involving sex, murder and more...relentless!).
Velvet! I’ve listened to a bit and loved it. But haven’t checked out everything
@@kirawasareactor
Kira! You have to hear VU. They were proto everything. Punk, metal, goth, alternative etc. They were the ultimate rule breakers of the time.
I'm enjoying your "metal journey" so much, I can't wait to see where it takes you. :) Congratulations for sharing these joyful moments with everyone!
Awesome reaction and dancing as always, Rising truly is great and important. That double bass drumming in A light in the black is pretty revolutionary.
You've only scratched the surface of Ozzy era Sabbath though, so check them out some more! I recommend Children of the grave, Into the void, Sabbath bloody sabbath, Killing yourself to live and Sabbra cadabra.
Thank you for thinking my dancing is awesome. Rising kicks ass!!! Yep I have a PARANOID album listen coming. After that I will want more Ozzy sabbath I think!
That, young lady, was the most fun I've ever had watching a reaction video!! You literally danced through all of Stargazer lol. I was a huge Purple fan and was genuinely upset when Blackmore left, but when my friend brought this album over I got over it. Cozy Powell's speed on the drums blew my mind( I was only 15 and hadn't heard of a double kick before). It's gratifying to see this music live on and resonate with young people, especially with such enthusiasm. Thank you for that! My God you were so hilarious I put my 1983 cassette version on (loud)and rocked along with you🤣
My favorite song by them is "Gates Of Babylon". The solo on that song is just brilliant.
Good on ya Kira, you not only listen to the music, but you actually hear & feel it. Many people just listen, without taking in the different riffs, key changes, and multi level layers or backgrounds that flow with the instruments. Enjoy!!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
If you're doing more Deep Purple, check out When a Blind Man Cries.
Lol ironicallly Ian says Ritchie dont like that one
Love Tony Carey’s intro on Tarot Woman - awesome intro to a hard rock/metal album
React to Deep Purple's "Machine Head" album, awesome record from start to finish
Omg you don’t even KNOW! I really want to do that!! You’ll see why in my next video
@@kirawasareactor can't wait to watch that videoooOOOO !!!!!!
seconded
Another early pioneer of Metal to check out would also be Iron Butterfly and I don't mean their song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
. They have better songs like "Flowers and Beads", "New Day", "Possession", and "Fields of Sun" are all bangers and are worth hearing. Not saying In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
isn't worth a listen but, I feel the other songs I mentioned are far more worth a listen to. Great reaction! It's always nice to see someone rocking out!
This video was really wonderful. I can remember hearing Rising for the first time I think in about 1989, when it was already considered an OLD record, and also being knocked out by Stargazer in particular. I never admitted it to friends at the time, but if there was a video filming me listening to it over and over in my bedroom, my reaction wouldn't have been very different to yours! As for Deep Purple and Judas Priest - they are both great great bands, but nobody can agree on which records to start with. For DP, you can pretty much start anywhere from their run of amazing records between 1970 and 1975 (what fans call the Mk II and Mk III line ups). Very few bad moments there, although my personal favourite is 'Burn'.
For Judas Priest, my only advice is to not start with Painkiller - people love watching reactions to it because it's so over the top, and heavy, but it's actually very non-typical for them. Seeing as you're getting into the 70s Hard Rock records, a great place to start would be Sad Wings of Destiny, which is considered the first big heavy metal landmark after the early Sabbath records, or if you want to go a little later, Hell Bent For Leather.
Sorry for the essay length comment - it's just so inspiring to see people enjoying this music!
Edit: I'm guessing, reading one of your replies below, that you've already listened to Painkiller - all I'll say is don't let it put you off!
I've never heard anyone ever say online or in person that Painkiller would put anyone off. That's the weirdest thing ever.
This was an awesome reaction and happy that people arevdiscovering music they enjoy! Yes, go with the list you have girl!
As you liked this album, I think you would like to put Long Live Rock 'n Roll, the next Rainbow album in queue. It is the last of the 3 to feature Dio on vocals. It is honestly another album I think you will like every song on.
Enjoyed the video a lot, have a nice day!
I loved that you loved Rising, it’s as close to a perfect album that you’ll ever be likely to hear.
You hit the nail on the head thought. When Dio and Blackmore were together there was a magic that neither found again in their careers....as good as those careers are/were.
The thing about ‘Blackmore Fever
is that there is known cure. I caught it 35 years ago and I don’t want to get rid of it 😂
35 years ago hahha that's a long time!! Rising has blown me away, I will always love this album forever now
I've loved this album since it's release in '76, seeing you enjoying it and your Stargazer dance made me smile.
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was fifteen/sixteen and had a very similar reaction to what you did, and 'Stargazer' with Ronnie's voice brought tears to my eyes, just perfection!
So happy you did this reaction!! it's truly one of the best albums of all time 🌈
For other full albums you should check out Long Live Rock'n'Roll, Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath (still with Dio on vocals) and also In Rock, Machine Head and Burn by Deep Purple, you'll definitely love all of those
Greatest metal album ever. A concept album which is made great by its many wonderful parts. Cozy Powell’s drumming is amazing. Dino’s vocals are incredible. Jimmy Bains bass is awesome as well as Tony Carey’s keyboards. Finally, Ritchie Blackmore! I need not say more
It's not metal it's Rock based in Blues
Fabulous,thoroughly enjoyed that...had the very same reaction back in 1977 as this was the first album I ever bought and was hooked forever...welcome to the rainbow family.
Soooo jealous that you were there for the release of this album. Amazing stuff. Love your picture!!
@@kirawasareactor love your reactions to rainbow it’s great to see you really get into rainbow through stargazer and rainbow rising as it’s one of the greatest albums of all time although I’m very biased....I’m from Belfast Northern Ireland And was one of only a handful of rock fans growing up in Belfast during the mid to late seventies when I bought this album and stargazer was the first song I listened to and have loved Ritchie ever since....I actually kissed ritchies hand at a blackmores night concert a few years ago which my 3 daughters continually have a good laugh about...!!! So glad you enjoy the music...all the best,norman.
You always bring a smile to my face, you rock girl! :D
In the live set Cozy Powell (drums) asked them to stop playing Stargazer and A Light In The Black back to back as he was blown out at the end of it! The solo on Light has such as sense of intense energy. Blackmore was The Man back then.
I reacted sort of the same way to this album when I was 15 or so. I adored classic Deep Purple since I was 11, 12 years old. My uncle once gave me some old mixtapes (Deep Purple, Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin etc.) so I could record my own mixtapes over them, but I just listened tot them and played them till they were totally dull. I discovered Rainbow when I was 15. Kids at school thought I was weird listening to that old stuff, while they were listening to Iron Maiden, Wasp and that kind of stuff... There was no internet then so I had to discover 'different' music through books and vinyl in libraries, documentaries on liniar tv (no cable back then), magazines etc. The album was released when I was not even 2 years old, so it was already 'classic rock' when I heard it for the first time. I'm 46 now but great to see young people from nowadays can still get the same reaction to a great classic album.
It´s funny, watching you discover all this music reminds me of when i started my journey through metal, and the burst of emotions that came with it. Keep´em comming!!!
With how much you love Dio. You should check out the tribute album done for him called The Last In Line. Alot of different artists cover his songs. You could listen to the artist to hear their songs then react to their cover to see how they did! Would be awesome to see that!! Been loving your reactions so far keep up the great work!!!
You remind me the excitement I had when I first discovered this music, thanks, you're a gift!
the guitar outro on 'Run with the Wolf' is my favourite Blackmore solo!-( plus nice t-shirt! I also love The Stone Roses,being lucky enough to live in 'Madchester' 1989-92!)
My favourite heavy rock album.Ronnie and Cozy were incredible.
Full album Long Live Rock n Roll Rainbow
This makes me happy. You are making the world a better place :)
Woah i Discovery this greath álbum with this video! Thanks!
I think you should give Iron Maiden another shot. Their first two albums had a different singer and had a different sound overall from their later albums. Some songs I'd recommend from their first two albums:
- Prowler
- Phantom of the Opera
- Wrathchild
- Killers
One of my all-time fav albums, loved the reaction, tnx.
Welcome!!!
With Priest you've got a rollercoaster ride. old school blues infused hard rock through to a genre defiining heavy/power metal masterpiece. one of the all time great voices too.
Priest was .... definitely... interesting. There’s your sneak peek hahah (I was surprised, even more than I usually am when I react)
It's really cool to see someone getting to know my favorite album of all time!!! Woohoooo
It's great to hear that you will do more Deep Purple! As I've said before: listen to the whole live album "Made In Japan"! They take their studio songs to a whole new level!
Omg the next video does not include MADE IN JAPAN but I think the next one I film will be a Made in Japan full listen !!!
@@kirawasareactor Sounds wonderful to me! 👍🎸
Somewhere, Dio and Cozy Powell are smiling.
One of my favourite albums of all time and love your reaction to it, gives me hope that today’s youth has taste. Now you need to do Machine Head full album by Deep Purple. It is purple at their most versatile and Blackmore is awesome on it
Ah man you always manage to put a smile on my face ..thank you and keep it up . Ritchie is god
It's so nice to accompany you in your "voyage" of music. I love music in general, but I mostly like Rock and Metal. I love Ronnie James Dio's music, maybe one day you could do a video reacting to the "evolution" of Ronnie James Dio. I mean, you can start with songs from the Red Caps and Ronnie and the Prophets, then, songs from Elf and Rainbow, after continue with his Black Sabbath era and then his solo years in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. I think it that it could be an interesting video an experience for you :D :D Another good reaction could be that you "compare" or watch the live version of Mistreated by Deep Purple in 1974, and also the live version by Rainbow with DIO in 1977. Thank you for your videos and sharing your energy with us and I hope you have an excellent weekend Kira.
So funny you saying about Dio's vocals & Ozzy on Black Sabbath - Just wait till you hear Dio ......on Black Sabbath ! Lol - Album "Heaven & Hell" Yep he joined Black Sabbath....& you're gonna love that album. Happy listening - & this was the best album reaction I have ever seen.
As usual excellent video. Your enthusiasm and passion for music is contagious. Rainbow Rising is dear to my heart as well. Now listen to the other Dio era Rainbow albuns, the album after Rising, Long Live Rock 'n Roll is great too. Gates Of Babylon and Kill The King are standouts. Rainbow Rising is one of the seminal albums in the creation of the subgenre of Power Metal, maybe you can explore the subgenre later.
About King Crimson. KC have a lot "eras", it is one of the most experimental bands in existence. And they have the influence in early heavy metal.
Songs for reaction for King Crimson is impossible in youtube I believe, they block everything in reaction channels. But recommendations Starless (one of the most epic songs of all time), all the album Red is essential, it is a absolute classic (in the level of In The Court of Crimson King). Fracture, Larks' tongues in aspic part 1 and 2, The Talking Drum, The Exiles, Easy Money, Lament, Discipline. The album Discipline after a hiatus is a new wave influenced album with ex-Talking Head guitarrist Andrew Bellew is excelent too.
Where KC excels is live perfomances. A lot of their songs are composed live between improvisations, their album Starless and Bible Black is a live album edited to look like a studio album.
And talking about King Crimson, maybe you can react (if you already haven't listen) to Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson (founder of Porcupine Tree). It is metal (only in the later albums), it is influenced by King Crimson and another 70s prog acts, and indie rock. I recommend Trains, Anesthetize, Arriving Somewhere but Not Here, Drive Home, Luminol, Routine (the last 3 from Steven Wilson solo).
Judas Priest I don't know If you managed to listen to any song from the Sad Wings of Destiny album because in a lot of countries the album is missing, because of a label problem. But it is one of the great classic albums of heavy metal, Victims of Change from this album is a essential Priest song.
And this is the end of another long post of mine.
Watched your reaction again for the sheer joy you get from the album, never lose that enthusiasm young lady. Glad tidings from the U.K. x
Need to listen to Rainbow Live in Germany ‘76. My all-time favorite album. Ever
This is SOOO TEMPTING
kirawasareactor Not an easy find and rather expensive but well worth it. Some of the more dull songs from their debut album (Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow), particularly “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves” and “Still I’m Sad” are almost completely different songs in their live act during this period. Another must-have is Rainbow Live in Munich ‘77. This album is more accessible and also is available on DVD. Unfortunately they did not play “Stargazer” on this one, but it’s still fantastic
Check out Rainbow On Stage album - intro from the old Wizard of Oz movie then launches into Kill the King - bloody fantastic
Ted Burnard Yep On Stage is also essential listening for any true Rainbow fan. However, “Live in Germany” has the only live, non-bootleg performance of “Stargazer”, at least that I’m aware of. And Blackmore’s solo on it is next level, even by Blackmore standards. And all three albums have the cool little Wizard of Oz intro you mentioned 🙂
I f*cking love your reactions!! Keep going... Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you!!
I love your enthusiasm, it´s amazing! What makes it even better is that it´s wirh Rainbow, and You recognize the Genius of Ritchie Blackmore and the fabulous voice of Ronnie James Dio. Love your reactions 😉
Emerson Lake and Palmer, YES. Early prog Genesis. Marillion. Hawkwind. Gentle Giant, Nektar, Camel Van Der Graff Generator...All great prog bands...Caravan too!!
Wow - You're experiencing what I did when I heard 'In Rock and Made in Japan' and then all the way through the Rainbow years.
Lucky enough to see Ritchie in multiple Purple/Rainbow/Blackmores Night line ups - Simply the BEST !!
Love your reaction at 13:50 ❤🤩This album is among my favorites together with Heaven and Hell.
Oh girl, I'm disappointed it took me almost 20 hours to watch your new vid. You're right, Blackmore+Dio= Fire!!! I'm happy for your explanation in the begining. Thanks for one more beautiful ride. P.S.: when you're started crying I was already there, and it warmed my heart so much!!!!
Haha this is so comforting to know you were also crying, it’s not just me!! Thanks for watching :)
Not the first time I'm teary watching your videos (to say the least). I've commented before and told you how true your reactions sound and look, and it makes me feel happy and emotional that I've been there too. I felt what feel now. And for that I thank you with all my heart.
@@marcelomillem4346 you are SO very welcome!! i am so happy my videos bring you joy :)
So cool dance, great reaction 😀. The best tracks Tarot woman, Stargazer and A light in the black.
Rising é a obra prima de Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow !! Excelente !! ! !!
What makes this band so special is of course its guitarist which has no equal
“Is it possible that this could be my favourite album of all time?” Well, for millions it is, so yeah, for sure! 😀
If you’re hooked on Ritchie Blackmore, then I entreat you again to check out his later work in Blackmore’s Night.
If I now tried to leap around like you did in this video, I would probably needed my inhalers or a dose of nebulisers at the local hospital😂. Oh I wish I had that energy and was 20 or so again😂.
Really enjoyed your reaction and found it interesting how you felt your attention was being grabbed by guitar and vocals more than bass for the first time. I think when you come into contact for the first time with someone a bit special like both of those guys you cannot help but we swayed as you listen. As I said on your previous reaction this was the album that fully got me into metal.That is over 40 years ago and I still adore this album and am finding new artists to get excited by in the rock/metal/prog and blues genres. I hope that you continue to find new bands to enjoy as you get older (it happens... try to do it disgracefully 😁).
If you don't know them yet then I will mention Rush as they have a vast catalogue to enjoy. Perhaps either "A Farewell To Kings" or "Permanent Waves" listen throughs might be fun for you. All 3 band members are superb and you won't know which member to air play to... it doesn't help that Geddy sometimes is playing bass and keys at the same time whilst singing!
Some one else has definitely mentioned Uriah Heep and I can say that they are excellent as well.
For King Crimson suggestions either "Larks Tongue In Aspic" or "Discipline". You can get to see how they change through the years whilst still making amazing music.
Again great reaction. I wish you all the best.
What made this fun to watch was that you didn't just listen to the album, you experienced it!! I believe that you would get a similar feeling with the Rainbow album Long Live Rock and Roll. If nothing else the song Gates of Babylon would be a good introduction to that album! Good stuff Kira!!
Thank you, it was definitely an experience!! I reckon I’ll eventually do a video on Long Live Rock n Roll once I want another Rainbow hit 🌈🌈🌈
Of course she experienced it. Her age is glorious !
As you age.....it’s like reading a good book. Ha ha.
So gratifying to see albums that have meant everything to us being discovered and loved for the first time. It seems that even amongst metalheads, there are factions that don’t go back to the real roots of the genre; at most, some will go back as far as the early ‘80’s and the emergence of thrash metal but albums like Rising both define and transcend metal at such an early stage of the game.
I get emotional at the exact same spot you did on Stargazer. I don't know why but this sport resonates with me deeply and I got teary eyes every time. It is as if I got a glimpse of all the sadness of the world for one moment or something like that.
5:00 while it is true what you say, the outro (as well as the intro) to Tarot Woman was a Synthesizer solo, by keyboardist Tony Carey :)
5:50 well, Ritchie wouldn't be bothered to play anything boring (which even resulted in fights with the other band members later in the carreer during the Deep Purple reunion - besides personality isues)
Part of the reason Jon Lord played such a distinct hard organ in Deep Purple - he had to be the rythm player ;)
9:05 indeed, the songs 2,3,4 are often overlooked because compared to the rest of the album, because they're kinda basic, but still brilliant rocksongs.
16:01 and the classical inspired instrumentals at it once again :D
16:41 when they went on tour, they wanted to play Stargazer and A Light in the Black back to back like on the album - but they had to drop the latter after a few shows because Cozy Powell physically couldn't continue the show after that :P
One of the best rock albums of all time indeed.
Now some time check out the live show: either
-the album 'On Stage' as it was released on vinyl in the 70s
-Cologne 1976 - one of the concerts recorded for that album in its entirety, including Stargazer. (there are also full releases of Düsseldorf 1976 and Nuremberg 1976 - I like Cologne the best)
-Munich 1977 video - the only full video there is, even if it's a TINY bit weaker than the '76 tour and it's live recordings, and also misses Stargazer... (there is also some interisting trivia around that show ;) )
cozy powell is the drummer , he was a legend for many people
Fantastic reaction👌🖤
Symphony X: The Odyssey, is a 20+ minute song of pure complex, magical song that sounds so utterly unique.
However, “When All is Lost” is the perfect introduction song. That musicianship. 👌
Hi Kira, That video is great!. You are the first person to blend actual dance with Metal Music. And I love it! I
Oh! And also I love that emotional part of you! I tear up on songs as well. So,I know that your heart is in that song. I see another of similarities in your passion for music that I have in myself ! You would be the perfect girl that I have always dreamed of . One out of many reasons I say that is due to the fact that I love music clearly like you do. Yes, the album was good !! I liked Stargazer, alot!!
Brilliant. Good to see such joy, especially after the last year. How about trying "Black Holes and Revelations" by Muse at some point?
"Knights of Cydonia", "Assassin" and "Map of the Problematique" are fabulous.
Wow... what a reaction. And I can see of lot of similarities with my first Rising listen: I too felt from the first track that this will be one of my all time favourites. And the first time I heard Stargazer was the first time any kind of music made me cry, there when the violin kicks in. Unreal emotions by both the music and the lyrics... Really enjoyed that. Can't wait to see your first time hearing Sabbath's albums with Dio.
Also, if you like the first King Crimson I recommend their fourth and fifth albums or so, Larks Tongues in Aspic and Starless and Bible Black. They have more of a pink floyd vibe in those albums, they are more progressive with a psychedelic touch even in some songs. In all, I think they don't receive the credit they deserve, especially when compared to Pink Floyd. I m not saying they are better than them, but they are certainly underrated
Rainbow( and Blackmore ) peaked with this album, don't get me wrong, I'm a massive fan on Blackmore ( Deep Purple, Rainbow & Blackmore Night ) but 'Rising' on vinyl side 2 was just Stargazer and Light in the Black, stunning, and with Cozy on Drums and Dio on vocals and lyrics it's what you expect, a masterpiece.
This is fantastic! Your enthusiasm is so infectious!
