Speaking with Backstage Pass Rock-News, vocalist Joe Lynn Turner opened up about working with guitar legends Yngwie Malmsteen and Ritchie Blackmore. Check out the clip below.
Turner worked with Blackmore in Rainbow between 1980 - 1984, and Malmsteen from 1987 - 1989 .
Turner: "I think I got a lot of experience from (working with) Ritchie. And Ritchie wasn't so dificult. He's more of a perfectionist than difficult. He's a prankster, he's very funny, he's got a dark (sense of) humour. Once you kind of grasp that you can turn things around; he enjoys that. He like it when you play tricks on him as well. He could take it as much as dish it out. He was easier to work with (than Malmsteen)."
