Re: New Rainbow box set
I think RB said in an interview a long time ago that Bain was let go because he wasn't fast enough to respond to what he was doing. Carey was fired for attitude problems.

Jimmy has said RB kept coming up to him on stage and telling him he was out of tune, when in his view he wasn’t. after a while he lost patience and threatened to wrap the bass around his head or words to that effect. That’s what I recall reading anyhow…..

Yeah, I've read something similar. I suppose that Bain talked back started the countdown for him. And Bain and Carey were mates.

Re: New Rainbow box set

still, Carey is one of only 2 musicians ever invited back into Rainbow!

Re: New Rainbow box set
Bain recommended Carey for Rainbow and they became mates during touring. I think they were dubbed the Glimmer Twins by the others.
