	Sounded confusing to me at first, I didn't realize Cozy played in Brian's band. But then again he played with quite afew bands. His spirit lives on.

	Cosy played with EVERYONE... if Cozy wasnt the drummer, then chances are, Carmine Appice was!

	I met Cozy (and all of Rainbow) during the Rainbow Rising tour...he was very friendly and down to earth. His solo that concluded with him playing the 1812 Overture was awesome. RIP, Cozy.

	An incredible drummer that played in alot of different bands including the Michael Schenker Group, and of course Rainbow. A rock and roll legend on the drums.

	One of Cozy's best bands was Bedlam. I think they only put one album out in the early 70's - and toured with Sabbath. I saw that tour, and Cozy was awsome. The album might be hard to find - but it's got some great songs and of course some incredible drumming on it. Highly recommended.

	COMMENT \| My claim to fame posted by : mamba311 1/18/2005 5:29:04 AM

	My claim to fame is that Cozy Powell played drums on my GCSE music coursework! I'm so rock!

	COMMENT \| Rainbow Rising posted by : BlackBehemoth 1/18/2005 6:11:10 AM

	has to be one of the top metal albums of all time. if you ever have a chance to listen to it on vinyl don't pass it up, its magnificent.

	COMMENT \| awesome kit posted by : Viking 1/18/2005 6:38:11 AM

	awesome old, and HUGE bass drums, 26"ers monsters, everything on that kit looks great but the snare, steel snares are trash, but everything else, yeah good stuff!
