GRAHAM BONNET

Here is a guy that has sung on some of metals finest albums...Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Alcatrazz, Blackthorne.....
Has anyone ever seen any of these bands with Graham singing?

 



         

I saw Bonnet when he toured with Joe Lynn Turner as Back to the Rainbow.

I can't say I was ever a big fan, but he's done well for himself and has a distinguishable voice.

Fantastic voice

his stuff with Impellitteri is great too!

Never seen him live, but would like to. He was pretty hot (probably still is, too). Only have the album he did with Rainbow. Like that line in "All Night Long": "Don't know about your brain but you look alright."  

I loved Down to Earth, it was my fist Rainbow record so it's strange that I never showed even the remotest interest in Alcatraz, I suppose that I had moved onto heavier things by then and Alcatraz were not at all popular in the U.K.

never been a big fan of his voice or vocal style, but he has sung on some great albums and worked with some awesome musicians.

Impressive resume, but his voice grates on my nerves.

I used to not like Bonnet's voice, but at some point I started to love it. Down to Earth and the first two Alcatrazz albums are great, but I think the two albums he did with Impellitteri are his best works.

Unfortunately have never seen him live

His work w/ Rainbow, Alcatraz and Impellitteri is all fantastic!

Love his voice, an excellent vocalist. Never had the privilage of seeing him live.

This, along with MSG. I've always thought of Graham as the voice of Alcatrazz, since No parole from rock n roll was my introduction to him. Down to earth and Assault Attack were finds well after the fact.

I've not had the chance to see him.

I forgot about MSG...I never listened to a lot of it.

I saw Bonnet touring with Alcatrazz, opening for Ted Nugent back in 1985 or so. He was good, but Yngwie was the star of that show for sure.

I've loved everything I've heard him sing on. Never saw him live in concert, though.

I think Stand In Line with Impellitteri is his best vocal performance.

Agreed.

Big fan! The man has a great voice and his own style. I've never seen him live though.

Yeah! I saw Rainbow In Oakland, Ca. Impellitteri in San Jose, Ca.

Since 04' I think I have been to about 5 Bonnet gigs, New Alcatrazz (Great band)  Taz Taylor band w/Bonnet. Best gig Alcatrazz opening for Y&T in San Jose New Years eve. 07'

Check out the cd he did with the Band Anthem! If you like Assault Attack then get it

.

PS I just missed seeing Blackthorne. I found out about a week late, Dam!

Grunge was the thing at that time & no promotion for the show at the Omni in Oakland. I heard a boot from that show but it is not the best recording.
