Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the legendary vocal prowess of Ronnie James Dio for the final time in this lineup, Rainbow's third studio record is a majestic triumph of fantasy-driven hard rock. 'Long Live Rock 'n' Roll' blends incredibly heavy, driving riffs with sweeping, remarkably passionate neoclassical melodies to forge profoundly epic heavy metal anthems.
