the main problem with Graham Bonnet is that he can't sing... it's so very obvious on every live recording he participated in that it hurts... he does better on his Rainbow album but got evicted after proving himself too ofltenly out of key for a perfectionist as Mr Blackmore...
then came the Joe Lynn Turner era... imo, Difficult to Cure is almost on par with the Dio era... Straight Between the Eyes & Bent Out of Shape have each a few good songs but are too radio-oriented to be great Rainbow albums... not bad though...
as for the last Rainbow album, can't remember who sang on this one, Douggie White or something ? :? , it should have never been released... not that it's that bad, it's just too average to fit a yet quite even discography... the good thing is Ritchie probably realised that and call it quits... :twisted:
This last opinion on the last Rainbow album with Douggie White is so unMETAL, it hurts. This album is great,imo, but back then you probably were too busy listening to Nirvana to appreciate it .
