  • Credited on several Joe Satriani Albums.
  • David Coverdale: “Elk Thunder was at that time the medicine man for many Native American tribes. He came to the studio to help us shift some uncomfortable energy.”
  • “We had so many tech issues we couldn’t believe it. So, I thought, bugger it … it must be something we can’t fix. We held a Spirit Feast, and lo and behold, everything started working well again. We were very, very grateful to him.”
  • Adrian Vandenberg: “The recording of Restless Heart was rather different from any other recording experiences before or since for me. We started off rehearsing and recording in a cozy studio located in a charming Victorian style mansion in Reno, and later on moved to a mansion close to Lake Tahoe that used to belong to disco singer Donna Summer. A complete mobile studio was set up there to the specs of brilliant engineer and producer Mike Fraser. The place had a bit of a weird vibe about it. It could easily have made a fitting haunted house in a thriller movie. From day one we had some very unusual and weird experiences. Mike Fraser attributed a bunch of technical problems to the fact that the house might have been built on an. ancient Indian burial ground, and he wanted to bring in an Indian medicine man.”
  • “He told us that he has native Indian roots in his family. A string of pretty weird, unexplainable things happened. A medicine man by the name of Elk was flown. in and performed ritual dances around the estate. The band chewed on grilled buffalo testicles by a campfire while he barked ritual Indian songs and shook Toys R Us-like Indian percussion…”
  • “After the spirits left the building the recording went smoothly, and we laid down the tracks with a smile on our faces. Stories to tell! He convinced us that he was a great mouth harp player, and pretty much insisted on contributing his stellar playing to our album …”
  • “So we decided that Elk could double a slide guitar lick in Woman Trouble Blues’ with his mouth harp. This is an extremely simple lick, but apparently it still appeared to be pretty impossible for Elk to play it properly, and it ended up taking a whole afternoon. And after that breathtaking performance, it took another few hours for our experienced engineer Bjorn to edit it to a point that it’d be bearable. At least we escaped an ancient Indian curse.”

Reviews

• Darker Than Blue Issue 50  February 1998
• RESTLESS HEART
• EMI TOCP 50090: UK/Europe : June 2nd 1997 CD It’s getting a hit like the old times again – what with a Gillan (the man – not the band) album out, Lordy’s effort due any day, and offerings from the man in black. If it all seems increasingly less vital than it did fifteen years ago, that’s probably just me feeling my age, but sadly there’s not a vast amount on David’s new offering to stop me getting all nostalgic about Whitesnake classics of yore. Things became a little overblown on the last two Whitesnake albums (to say the least) so it’s good to find David toning things down in favour of a more basic approach. Out too has gone the sponsorship by L’Oreal, and a more craggy wet look David Coverdale adorns the front of what is billed as the final Whitesnake album. And Ritchie could well take a leaf out of David’s book, or at least call him for the name of the photographer. as it’s a great moody image. Some things never change though, and the old poorly executed paintings of concrete heraldry still adorn the rest of the package. Still, let’s persevere. People had, after all, being calling me up claiming this to be his best vocal performance in years.It has to be said that by and large they were right. Perhaps the time off has done him good. It’s still uniquely Coverdale, but somehow a little richer in tone, a little smoother in delivery – and it suits him very well. That then is the good part. The downside of it is that sadly very little else on display here is up to this vocal return to form. Musically it lacks memorable tunes, melodies, riffs – anything really. It just kind of washes over one in a stream of fairly bland metal. The opener, Don’t Fade Away. is very typical -plenty of recognisable AOR Rock signatures but nothing too deep or original. All In The Name Of Love sparkles at the start with a few bars of grungy Hammond, but ditches this in favour of a plodding, pedestrian beat. A good production to be sure, but largely lifeless. Title track time, and some good deep vocal lines growl promisingly, but are dissipated via a really inept band performance. Try the last minute or so though, and see how it might have sounded. Strings sneak in, must be time for a tearjerker. Too Many Tears – more excellent vocals, but a very obvious guitar solo, wet drums and a conservative feel to it all. The best you can say is that the tracks could sound stronger in a live situation. There is no doubt that this is an important album in that while it may not be the strongest he has ever recorded, it does mark a return to the Coverdale most of us like to hear best, and so holds some promise for the future. The fact that David has discovered his voice again also prompted more reviews of the album from readers than we would normally expect.”Mercilessly slagged off in the music press (well in ‘Kerrap’ magazine at least) and old D.C. stating in publicity interviews that this ‘final”Snake album summarising 20 years of the band, I feared a ‘Stranger in Us All’ type hotch-potch / self-rip-off. However, whilst there are certainly plenty of reminders of David’s post-Purple works (ranging right from Northwinds era to Coverdale/Page) they fall far short of self-parody. Indeed Coverdale goes less for the ‘Slip of the Tongue’-screaming and more for a back to his blues / Paul Rodgers-type phrasing and style, to great effect. Backing is courtesy of the Coverdale/Page touring band with Vandenberg ‘replacing’ Page, but the material is generally quite laid-back as compared to the C/ P album, and all in all quite in keeping with ‘Whitesnake’. I should say that fans of early to late-middle period ‘Snake (“true Whitesnake”?!) should not be disappointed by this album. Indeed, had this followed ‘Slide It In’, Coverdale’s credibility-rating might not have taken the nose-dive which it did with many ‘older’ ‘Snake fans. Lyric-wise David manages to rise above the groin for the most part, and the production (credited to D.C.) is somewhat brighter than the old Martin ‘Boring’ Birch produced efforts.” Tim Summers.I think it fair to say Tim’s views are common to just about everyone who ventured their opinion.

   • When this version of the band underwent one of their intermittent reformations in the 90s, they also began to lay down tracks. Strident hard rocker ‘Breakdown‘ on Lost Tapes Vol 1 comes from that latter period, the song sounding immensely fresh and contemporary even today. “This is from what we might call the second coming period, around ’93. The three-piece recorded it at Garage Studios, with Glenn singing, where they also recorded the original version of Homeland.” The latter a rare Hughes-Galley co-write surfacing on Welcome To The Real World: Live At The Borderline a live album released in ’93 documenting the previous year’s tour, then Hughes’ own solo album  From Now On… the following year.

Reviews

• Glenn and his band have been gigging throughout 1993 in Scandinavia, having decided to set up base there to record his new album. He went into the studios on August 16th with The King Siguurd Band – the guys he’s been working with since January – and 12 songs were already written. They had three weeks of rehearsing before the session, which lasted a month. Vocals were done separately, and they booked a show in Skara (about 80 miles from Gothenburg), where the studio is, for Sept.11th. This was to be taped, with the idea of adding some bonus tracks to the Japanese version of the CD when it comes out. In the end the live recordings didn’t turn out too well, so they went back to the idea of taping new studio versions, and this they did in Stockholm on November 17th. “Burn” and “You Keep On Moving” were the chosen songs. Blackmore declined to appear – he’d expressed some interest in doing the solos when asked about it earlier in the year. Glenn had hoped to get Ian Gillan in to guest on a couple of tracks, but the timing was out. Glenn’s band has a new drummer, Ian HaugIand,another Europe member, making three in all. Ian joined in time to play on the Stockholm session.

From Now On – Album Review

GLENN HUGHES : FROM NOW ON : UK : Roadrunner RR 09007: 1994 CD The Japanese version (Xero XRCN 1080) includes “Burn” and “You Keep On Moving”; the UK version just has “Burn”, while the original Swedish issue has neither!”I’m a little perplexed and slightly confused as to the mish-mash of styles, suggesting that the tracks were written over a long period of time. I expected more of a strident hard-hitting funk-metal album, something like Living Colour or Chilli Peppers, and I’m surprised he played no bass on the album. As with “Blues” last year, the vocals stand out as the highlight of the album. The really important thing is that Glenn is back and singing well. ‘ Walkin’ On Water” is my favourite. Funk-metal as only GH can do it. A basic groove, with deft touches of rock guitar and great bass variations.” Roy DaviesThe album does cover a wide range of styles, and is much better than the LA Blues set. Here we go from Purple stompers like “Pickin’ Up The Pieces” (the keyboards especially), to the bluesier based Brit-rock as on “Lay My Body Down”. That said, little here really begins to break new ground, but perhaps that wasn’t the intention – it’s more of a reaffirmation of Glenn’s return to the fray. “Walkin’ On The Water” and “The Liar” both hold out some promise. The former is interesting both lyrically and in its musical structure, lots of varying time changes (though these perhaps show up certain weaknesses in the drum dept), while the sampled keyboards on the latter are a bit out of the ordinary, and the ending where Glenn is working with the guitarist might have been worth making rather more of. As someone else said of the new take of “Burn” – “Why fix something that ain’t broken”!

• Glenn Hughes has added to his already prodigious output of the last several years with another new disc, “Burning Japan Live.” Proclaiming himself substance and alcohol free since 1991, Glenn has never looked, or more importantly, sounded better. Although he has said in numerous recent interviews that his Deep Purple days were not necessarily the best days of his life, seven of the fifteen tracks here are indeed Deep Purple songs from the MK III and IV era. There are also four tracks from his studio release of earlier this year, “From Now On…,” two from the 1982 Hughes/Thrall album, “Coast To Coast” from his Trapeze period, and the newly written “Still In Love With You.” And despite quotes from Glenn for years that he wants to break away from the hard rock that he’s done for most of his career and move toward a funk and soul direction, this disc rocks as hard as any he has ever done. In true Deep Purple MK III and IV tradition, the opening number of the show is the classic “Burn.” With an appropriate introduction as “The Voice of Rock,” Glenn and band launch into a very spirited and uptempo version of this 20 year-old tune. Because Glenn does all the lead vocals during the show, I feared that the impact of his original entrance into the song would be lost. This was not the case though, as he let the loud enthusiastic crowd sing the chorus intro, “All I heeeeeeeeear!” Fist-pumping stuff! Guitarists Thomas Larsson and Eric Bojfeldt don’t alter the song’s basic riff, but do interpret Blackmore’s solo their own way, resulting in a sound somewhere between Ritchie himself and Yngwie Malmsteen, although it would be unfair and futile to compare these guys to either of those legends. Drummer Ian Haugland, with a driving open hi-hat beat, and keyboard man Mic Michaeli, with his Hammond B-3, both sound close enough to the original to be passable. Hearing Glenn performing all the vocals in this song, his fans no longer have to dream about what Deep Purple would have sounded like had Ian Paice and Jon Lord got their wish of having Hughes as the lead vocalist of Deep Purple [note: Ian and Jon were outvoted by Ritchie, who wanted two vocalists]. Like all his previous live work, and even more so now without the encumbrance of a bass guitar hanging from his neck, Hughes displays his immense vocal talents at every opportunity. In this song alone, I stopped counting at ten upper-register full-throated screams, and this count seemingly increased as the show went on. Hughes fans who live for the screaming-at-the-top-of-his-lungs-at-the-upper-end-of-his-formidable-range will think that this is the finest effort of his storied career. Conversely, those who think a subtler singing style is a preferable philosophy should steer clear of this disc and head straight for the Michael Bolton/Barry Manilow section of the record store. Next up is “The Liar,” a song from his latest album that sounds somewhat like Led Zep’s “Immigrant Song” with its frenetic throbbing riff and the banshee wail background vocals. This version is pretty faithful to the studio recording, although anyone familiar with Glenn’s performances knows that his live versions always include added vocal pyrotechnics. Glenn primes the audience for the next tune by saying, “We’re gonna get funky now,” and the band rips into the muscular riff of “Muscle And Blood” from the Hughes/Thrall album. This song is probably the heaviest track from that album, and the dual guitars here keep it that way with a chunky sound much like that of Gary Moore back in his metal period. Hughes ends the tune with a short a capella break, “I’m a man, I’m a man, I’m a man made of muscle and bloooood!” The next three tracks, “Lay My Body Down,” “From Now On…,” and “Into The Void,” are all from the “From Now On…” album, and the band plays them all very close to the originals. Again, the difference between the live and studio interpretations of these songs is mainly the variety of vocal stylings added by Glenn in the concert setting. It’s really a pleasure to hear Glenn reinterpret these songs live if you are familiar with the studio recordings, because of all the subtle variations he is able to do on the original. He seemingly has an infinite assortment of vocal shades, and often changes the texture of the original. The one new song during the set, “Still In Love With You,” is introduced by Glenn as, “I was fooling around with something today at soundcheck – figured you might want to hear it.” It is also the only song where he plays an instrument – surprisingly keyboards! The tune is performed by Glenn alone, and is a nice ballad-type thing, although it’s not really a song on its own yet, but more of an intro to the next tune, “Coast To Coast.” For those who get into such things, Glenn really loosens up the vocal chords in this intro, and hits his highest notes of the show – I could imagine all the dogs in my neighborhood perking up their ears while I was playing it. 🙂 “Coast To Coast” is perhaps Glenn’s best-ever writing achievement – a truly beautiful song. No one can touch him when he’s singing this one, and he doesn’t disappoint in this show. Nothing short of an Yngwie guitar solo could ruin this song, yet that’s exactly what the guitarist tried to do! The original solo laid down by Trapeze guitarist Mel Galley was a simple, yet elegant solo that actually enhanced the song with its melody. The live solo here is an unnecessary speed display that doesn’t even follow the melody of the song. Fortunately, the solo is short. Following “Coast To Coast” is a block of four Deep Purple MK IV tunes. After a dedication to Tommy Bolin, Glenn delivers a soaring “This Time Around” to an appreciative crowd. Michaeli has Lord’s keyboard work down on this song. Like on the “Come Taste The Band” album, the song segues into the instrumental “Owed To ‘G’.” Again, like in “Coast To Coast,” a hyper-kinetic guitar solo almost ruins things. Some things are meant to be left as is. Aside from the solo, the song is performed crisply, and the band acquits themselves well. “Gettin’ Tighter” is next, and I’m not sure what to make of this version. The rhythm guitar has been funkified to the point that it would work on an Isley Brothers record, yet the opening guitar solo is in the neoclassical vein. Hmmm? The song does settle into a cool wah-wah guitar funk piece the rest of the way. Can’t blame them for trying a new approach, but gun to my head, I’d have to say that I prefer the original Tommy Bolin version. “You Keep On Moving” is a masterpiece however. I thought I would miss the Coverdale/Hughes harmonies here, but Glenn survives on his own just fine. The crowd gets in the act during the reprise of the verse after a “Sing it with me” urging from Glenn, and responds impressively with a loud “You Keep On Moving, Far Away, Far Away.” The last three tracks are two MK III tunes sandwiched around another Hughes/Thrall number. “Lady Double Dealer” – nice job. The Hughes/Thrall tune, “I Got Your Number” really showed how enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Glenn’s music the audience was. A loud cheer greeted the opening notes, and this time they didn’t need any urging to complete the opening line – [Glenn] “How ya been?” [crowd] “Alright!” This crowd knew and loved the song! “Stormbringer” closes out the show – pretty much the same as the original, and the guitar solo captures the mood of Ritchie’s excellent solo quite nicely. So what’s left to say? Well, before the obvious comparisons to Deep Purple, it should be made clear that this is not a permanent band as Deep Purple was. The concerts, as well as the albums, are promoted and marketed as “Glenn Hughes” – not “The Glenn Hughes Band,” or even “Glenn Hughes and band.” It’s just Glenn Hughes. The main job of the band here is to not get in Glenn’s way. I don’t mean to disparage the band in any way, as they are very competent and talented professionals who do a fine job supporting Glenn. It’s just that this music will not go down in history as one of the all-time performances. That’s the way it is. As far as showcased hard rock singers go, the list of singers with with Glenn’s versatility is very small or non-existent. His voice has an appealing pure quality to it, his range is legendary, and his sense of pitch is right on. The endless arsenal of tonal variations is what keeps his work interesting – he is able to improvise at will, and perhaps never will perform a piece the same way twice. This unpredictability is what keeps the man intriguing. The bottom line is that this album is a definite must-have for Glenn’s fans, hard rock vocal fans, and even Deep Purple fans, even if the music isn’t quite up to their lofty standards. Glenn has given a monstrous performance here, with the vocals of every song exceeding those of the original renderings. Maybe in the future he will join another supergroup like he had in Deep Purple, but for now, this is his best vocal effort to date. I had a lot of fun reviewing it, and will be grooving to it for a long time to come. reviewed by Bill Jones for the newsgroup alt.music.deep-purple Sept 24, 1994

Lead up to the Album:

• Dio talks of forming Dio as a band (rather than a solo act) after being released from bands in the past.
• He says that between Rainbow and Black Sabbath he began looking at starting a band with Mark Nauseef, Craig Gruber, and Mickey Lee Soule.
• As Dio put it “after both those boots up the arse” he wanted to start his own band and be the one who decides who he was playing with.
• Martin Popoff talks about the breakup in his book “Born Again: Black Sabbath in the 80s”. Dio says there was a whole incident where the engineer on “Live Evil” was drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels a day but Dio and Appice were accused of going into the studio and turning up the drums and vocals.  As an aside, the engineer in question was Lee DeCarlo who was the brother of Yvonne DeCarlo who played Lily Munster in the tv show “The Munsters.”
• Dio: “So of course everyone thought, well Mr. Ego’s done it again, he’s called the band after himself because he controls everything and you know he just hires people and away he goes, but that’s not what happened. At that point that’s when we started the search for the musicians to make the Holy Diver album what it was.”
• Dio claims that Vinny Appice was “unceremoniously booted” from the band along with him so that was the start of forming the band.
• In his autobiography Dio says that the first person they tried out was Jakey Lou Williams who became known as Jake E. Lee. He played in Rough Cutt.
• Dio said that they auditioned a few guys in LA for guitar but after playing with Iommi and Blackmore it was hard to be impressed. He decided he wanted an English player.because “I always just liked the attitude.” He said that in LA everyone was just trying to be Eddie Van Halen.
• Dio talks about turning to Bob Daisley about possibly joining the new band but Bob had just agreed to rejoin Ozzy.
• Vinny and Dio went to a bunch of clubs in the West End of London looking for players.Dio ended up calling Jimmy Bain and seeing if he knew of anyone.  Jimmy came to see them with two tapes, one was of John Sykes, the other was of Vivian Campbell.
• Dio said he liked both of them but that there was just something special about what Campbell had. Jimmy ended up coming down to the rehearsal with his bass. Dio wanted to see how it worked out and he said it came together beautifully.
• Ronnie and Vinny were used to LA and said it was easy to convince Jimmy and Vivian to go there to begin writing and rehearsing for the album.
• Ronnie said he wanted to produce this album himself because he’d learned so much working with Martin Birch and Roger Glover.
• Dio says that he wanted the group to be named Dio because he wanted it to be a group rather than a solo project. The label had wanted him to go as “Ronnie James Dio.”
• At this point Wendy officially became Ronnie’s manager. She’s already been managing the band Rough Cutt.

• Dio: “Well, we wanted an album cover that was going to be just what it turned out to be, which was fantasy on the fantasy side, but with a little bit of reality chucked in, which was to most people’s eyes a monster drowning a priest, a priest in chains, which was going to be a little bit controversial, of course. Well, good. But I wanted to do that because I wanted it to be controversial so I could explain to them what this was all about. And when they would say…”
• “Why do you have a monster killing a priest? I could always say, how do you know it’s not a priest killing a monster? And in the day and age that we live in, I think my thoughts were correct. So the whole purpose of all that imagery and being able to say that was, because I wanted to say to people, do not judge this book by its cover. Don’t judge anyone’s life by what you see. You judge them by what’s inside of them. It’s the heart and the soul and the spirit that counts, not what you see. So don’t make those kind of hasty judgments, because that’s always been my philosophy.”
• “So there’s my philosophy on the cover of this album, perhaps. And it was an album cover that most parents wouldn’t let their kids put up as a poster, which I guess worked pretty well. Because kids want to be rebellious, and as soon as the parents say no, there you go. But we didn’t do it for that reason. But it became an offshoot of that kind of artwork, that parents were very fearful of what kind of evil was going to be father-children if they looked at that poster.”
• “Caught in the Middle” shares the main guitar riff with Campbell’s previous band Sweet Savage’s song “Straight Through the Heart” (1983), whose title was used for another song in this album.

Album Tracks:

Side One:

1. Stand Up and Shout (Dio, Bain)
   • “Not the most amazing thing, but a strange coincidence is that the very first track on this album, Stand Up and Shout, was the last track written. And that track was written only as the backing track”
   • At this point Jimmy was off to Germany to work with Scorpions and Vivian had finished up all his part so Ronnie wrote the lyrics and melody and recorded it.
   • Ronnie says that the riff was written by Jimmy but Vivian said it was simjilar to a Sweet Savage riff he’d written. That riff was stolen from Gary Moore.
2. Holy Diver (Dio)
   • Critics would point out this riff had similarities to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.”
3. Gypsy (Dio, Campbell)
   • Dio described this song as being done in the style of The Rolling Stones.
4. Caught in the Middle (Dio, Appice, Campbell)
   • “Caught in the Middle was a song that I wrote actually about Angelo [Arcuri]. Angelo’s life always seemed to be that of one caught in the middle of some kind of turmoil. He would always make decisions that were wrong, and he would always come to me and go, Ron, what am I going to do? I said, Oh, what’s happened, Angelo? Caught in the Middle, are you? Yes. Wow, what a great title that is. I became Caught in the Middle and the song was actually written about Angelo.”
   • This song shares the riff with a song from Campbell’s previous band Sweet Savage entitled “Straight Through the Heart.” The title was repurposed for the opening track of side two on Holy Diver.
     • Sweet Savage – Straight Through The Heart
5. Don’t Talk to Strangers (Dio)
   • “Don’t Talk to Strangers, again, that was the second song that I had written on my own before finding the band that we were going to use. Wanted something, you know, up tempo. It just became, that song just became a product of my guitar playing. I mean, that’s what it was, you know, not the world’s greatest guitar player, but I think a lot of the things that I’ve written, riffs and songs that I’ve written on my own have been more acceptable because I play like every man. I don’t play like Richie, I don’t play like Tony, I don’t play like Craig, I don’t play like all these guitar players that know how to do it. So what I play, anybody can pick up and do. And that’s always appealed to me, I mean because I think that’s music is for the masses. I don’t want to be Joe Satriani. All I want to do is write a good song, but I think that because my method is that of everyone, that I think it made things a lot more approachable.”

Side Two:

1. Straight Through the Heart (Dio, Bain)
   • Dio:”The next song on the album, Straight Through the Heart, there are some of these songs on this album that I think reflect my own trauma at the time as well. I mean, as a writer, I think you’re always going to draw upon what’s happened to you, either good or bad experiences, that’s where it comes from. And during the making of this album, I had some personal things that were going on that were… that bothered me quite a bit. And I think some of the songs that are on this album reflect that, one of them being Straight Through the Heart.”
   • “The song itself is, here it comes again, straight through the heart. And the worst pain on the face of the planet when you’re in love with someone or that kind of a thing. So I just use that as an example of something very hurtful. But I think, again, they reflect some of my feelings at the time. Invisible, I just love the idea of what we were going to do to the song. I thought it was a clever title. It was written about three different people: a gay man, a gay young man, an abused girl, and me. It was a triumvirate for you, wasn’t it? Anyway, I wanted to write these songs from the standpoint of someone who had been injured more psychologically.”
   • “And that happened in the case of the young girl and the gay boy. They were always being put upon and kicked and shoved around for not being what people expect them to be. And then included myself in the last part of it, only because I’ve spent all my life on a stage and a lot of trauma involved and a lot of that stuff, too. I thought I deserved to be in that because of what most musicians have had to go through in their lives.”
   • Ronnie says that Jimmy had this riff leftover from his band Wild Horses
2. Invisible (Dio, Campbell)
   • Dio: “But the whole answer to it was, you can just become invisible. You can escape those kind of things, because you have a mind that’ll let you do that. And I don’t mean escape them forever, but when people do that to you, why do you want to stand there and have the arrows and the stones being thrown at you? Just become invisible. You never see me. So I really, really liked what the attitude of the song was. Again, played really well, just really, really well. Everything on this album was played so well by Jimmy and Viv and Vin.”
   • Ronnie says that the band wrote the riff for Invisible and they recorded it. They had all smoked some very strong pot and the soundman put the tape in backwards. He said they were all laughing but Ronnie told him not to stop it because he liked the way it sounded. They all ended up learning the riff backwards so what you hear is the riff and then the same riff backwards.
3. Rainbow in the Dark (Dio, Appice, Bain, Campbell)
   • We have Rainbow in the Dark. It’s a song that I really disliked. And when it was finished, I announced to everyone that I was going to take a razor blade and just cut the tape up. So I went for the razor blade and I went, no, no.
   • Don’t, don’t. I said, well, I don’t like it. It’s too poppy for me. To me, for me, it was too poppy for this album. I didn’t want to create a piece of pop because it came from a different space. It came from Black Sabbath already, you know, a band that allowed me to do anything that I wanted to, as dark as I wanted to do it. So I didn’t want those people who had liked what I’d done in Black Sabbath to say, oh, here he goes, now he’s changed, hasn’t he? Now he’s become a pop artist. I didn’t want that to happen. And to me, because of, and only because the rest of the songs weren’t quite as poppy.
   • as that. This one really stood out as being a pop kind of thing. And the riff was poppy and the little keyboard-y thing was poppy. But at the end of the day it worked. So they talked me out of it and I didn’t do that. And I thank them over and over and over again for doing it, which doesn’t mean it’s my favorite song. So I mean I still will always have that feeling of that song, that it was too poppy for me. Luckily…
   • The bands that have played that song now have all gotten the idea that it needs to be a lot heavier. So it is. So it works. But again, I’m very glad that they talked me out of that. But I disliked it so much that I really wanted to destroy the thing. And I believed in the beginning that song that was Viv’s riff and that it was originally called by Viv, I think it was called, A Bottle of Wine. Well, at least we got a better title out of it than that. But that was Rainbow in the Dark.
   • Dio said that Vivian got the idea for the riff from a Sweet Savage song he wrote when he was 16 called “Lady Marion.”
     • Sweet Savage – Lady Marion
   • Ronnie says they had the whole song down in 10 minutes.
4. Shame on the Night (Dio, Appice, Bain, Campbell)
   • Dio: “And the last song, Shame on the Night, I think again is probably a reflection of how I felt at the time. Night time is the worst time on earth to have problems. Everything during the day seems like life is going to be okay, but as soon as it gets dark and dreary… and the oppression falls on your shoulders, you start thinking too much. There’s not much you can do at four o’clock in the morning, but think four o’clock in the afternoon, I can go out for a ride or take a walk or whatever, but four o’clock in the morning, I don’t think most people should be out at that time, usually get in trouble doing that. So, you know, I think I equated the night at that time with, you know, having bad dreams and bad things going on. And it was, again, I thought, a clever title, personalizing the night, and saying, shame on you.”
   • “And riff-wise, it worked as well. So much of this works. If I’m not giving enough credit to the other people in the band, please forgive me, because this was a total package that we put together. This was four of us and not Ronnie. Whatever accolades I’ve gotten from it are probably because I’ve carried on with this band and because I have a long history of doing things. But they did such a great job.”
   • Another Bain riff from Wild Horses. Dio suggested the wolf howl at the end.
