Check You Tube for a nice interview from Japan
with Ritchie & Doogie. Ritchie plays accoustic
and Doogie improvises. Great “We are sad alcoholics”
song. LOL!

Thought Stranger In Us All was a fine album.
Sorry Doogie never got the chance to record again
with Ritchie. Would definitly love to see a live
release from their shows.

Doogie White the best Rainbow singer outside the Dio years. Stranger In Us All the best album outside the Dio years. And in chemistry keeping within the tradtional Rainbow sound and style. Easily the best line up outside the Dio years.
Still I`m Sad…what a brilliant reworking of this classic Rainbow interpretation.
Thank you Doogie for bringing some self respect back into Rainbow, if Ritchie should record another Rainbow album. You are the singer to carry it on from where you and the band left off.

I thought Doogie was great on the studio cd and the rockpalast german tv ‘95 rainbow show but Ritchie slagged him off in an old interview.He said they were turning him down at the mixer by the end of the tour he was getting so bad.Strange,cause he always sang great with Yngwie Malmsteen whenever I saw them.Maybe he was saying stuff about Ritchie that angered him to the audience.At least one or two times he said introducing Yngwie,”He’s a very bad man,covets gold..and the like.I bet Yngwie got tired of hearing it after awhile and maybe thats why he got Ripper Owens?

Good idea, Leftin. And may I suggest you guys do the same with “Which Rush era is the best:
a) Rush to 2112?
b) A Farewell to Kings to Moving Pictures?
c) Signals to Hold Your Fire?
d) Presto to Test for Echo?
e) Vapor Trails to current?”

There are a couple of Maiden tribute albums out featuring Doogie. He does versions of The Evil That Men Do, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter and The Clairvoyant.

You can get them all as downloads at amazon for anyone interested.

Excellent! Dougie didn’t get overlooked in the end.

I can see it coming soon – Evans, Gillan, Coverdale, Hughes… or Turner!?

I saw the 90s Rainbow 11 times, and it really fed off Blackmore’s rejuvenation that had occurred on his last tour with Purple. His playing was superb, and with Doogie White he had found a real gem of a singer. Not only someone fully immersed in the back catalogue, who could do justice to those songs, but also a man with a unique ability to improvise. On many nights Blackmore would play all manner of obscure tunes, with White the perfect foil for Blackmore’s spontaneity. It was a truly great and seriously overlooked period of Rainbow’s career. Hopefully one day some live recordings from ‘95-96 will be offically released so rock fans can hear what they missed.
