Interestingly enough, Aldrich is the guitarist (and co-songwriter) on Whitesnake's two most recent albums (Good to be Bad and Forevermore)
I'm gonna check out the new album when it comes out and the two remasters as well. Reviews on Amazon are good, but no samples to check out.
An amazing album still to this day. I bought this when I first heard "Rainbow In The Dark" and was hooked. Then I bought "The Last In Line" and that was it. I just couldn't stand that album and have never bought another Dio album. Does that make me a bad person?
This album I never get tired of, one of the top debut metal albums of all time, in my book. No filler at all.
