New Rainbow remasterings are awful

Perhaps godlike in the terms that some remember him IN DP AND ofcourse his own mind. Technique, originality, I don't know...I like him as a guitarist. Is he one of the top 10 or top 20 guitar gods...No...I've played for many years and have seen numerous guitar players over the years. Blackmore was good but not great.

If anyone is interested...The Live in Munich DVD is pretty good both audio and video, especially considering when it was recorded...

As for me,i will take Coverdale/Hughes era over Gillan any time.Jan Gillan was outstanding on In Rock and in Jesus Christ Superstar but burned out right after Machine Head.Dio is also in a league above,still doing it at 60+

Audiofeil, everyone is entitled to their own opinion... I guess. Dio is not Ian Gillian?!?!?! You're right about that! Dio can still sing circles around Gillan in his prime. Dio is one of the best singers ever to record heavy metal. Gillan is, well he's Gillan, which reminds me of the Shakespeare phrase: "Damned by faint praise."

David Coverdale who is a dismal writer, and should never have been allowed to have his own band was a better singer than Ian Gillan!

All early Rainbow was better than most Deep Purple. Don't read into that, that I am not a Deep Purple fan, but real is real!

Of course that's just my opinion!
