Randy Rainbow's all-time 5 favorite videos

Rainbow often performs Braggadocious! Live, yet the first time wasn’t too memorable.

He forgot the lyrics.

Yep, Rainbow was in New York, performing in front of a packed house, “and I screwed up the lyrics terribly,” he admitted, laughing.

So he just started again from the beginning. “I did it again until I got it right,” he added. “Luckily the audience was happy to go along with it.”

Since that first performance, “every appearance since then I’ve gotten the lyrics right,” he joked.

Rainbow has been opening his recent shows with MICROWAVES (Are Watching You!), and this is the video that drew a response, via private message on Twitter, from CNN’s Tapper.

“I love Wicked, and just figured the 100-day mark for (President) Trump would be a nice occasion to bring that (video) out, and it was very well received,” Rainbow said.

Even Wicked composer Stephenen Schwartz acknowledged that video, “which was thrilling for me,” Rainbow said.

This was the first video from Rainbow that went viral.

“Before Donald, there was Mel. He gave me so much material for about a year,” Rainbow said. “I have a fond place in my heart for Mel Gibson. In fact, I have a picture of him, in a frame that I used in the video, which now sits on my shelf in my apartment … which is strange for visitors to see.”

“It has a cult following and, to this day, is still one of the most fun videos series that I’ve ever done,” he said.
