The Official Lost Song Of The Day Thread!!!

Yeah, Yngwie didn't lift that riff from Ritchie Blackmore. It's a blatant ripoff of Rainbow's Spotlight Kid, written 2 years prior.

Surprised that didn't end up in a law suit unless they wrote the song with Graham Bonnet and each created different versions.

Always a cool riff and vocal (other parts have aged badly - the keyboards and the fiddly diddly jig part) ... not played that Rainbow track since 1983 - always kicking myself for not seeing them at Liverpool Royal Court that year when they played 2 dates. My paper route income only covered the odd concert ticket and vinyl.

I didn't like this version when it was released but over time it has grown on me. Great band regardless

Saw a fabulous BBC documentary on the late great Phil Lynott last night .. such a great singer, song writer, lyricist, bass player

Never really listened to, or got into John Petrucci - checked this out as it's in the latest Guitar Player magazine best 50 solos of all time. Plus people saying things like "the greatest prog-metal solo ever written".

Technically he covers a lot of areas and impressive technique for sure - but for me, lacks emotion and is video gamey. It's like a thrashy Rush song with very obvious Steve Vai influences. Will have another play and see if it grows on me at all.

For me this is progressive music at it's best ... mind blowing musicianship
