Ok this is the 2nd in the very first 21CGS Rockblocks. Death Alley Driver is another one from the Joe Lynne Turner era Rainbow. What I think great here is the “first generation” rock video look. Also, JLT playing an old ass videogame and Richie in the back of the car wringing his hands while he chases JLT through the English (L.A?) countryside. Gotta hand it to em’ they did pretty well , considering artists still thought they had to “act” in videos back then.
One thing I’ve noticed from watching way too many Rainbow videos on YouTube is that although Rainbow were responsible for some reprehensible rock traditions, They actually set the template for a lot of lesser acts to come. But I find their particular songs remarkably well crafted and hold up in their respecitve genre.
