David gilmour and ritchie blackmore guitar battle comment on who you think is better and i will keep score in the description David Gilmour: 19 Ritchie Blackmore: 19
Gilmour is a magnificent guitarist. Some of his solos hit me right in my soul in a manner that can make me cry. But when it comes to Ritchie Blackmore, a spark lights and almost instantly I am overwhelmed be a feeling that I am hearing the best guitarist that ever honoured us with his playing. Ritchie all the way!
I disagree, I think they both can be compared because they both experiment with totally different sounds. Both of them have gone on to do acoustic work that sounds very cinematic, both of them have had epic solos that go with grand orchestral music, when Ritchie and Dio formed the band Rainbow, they had plenty of slow songs that sound like Pink Floyd's slow jazzy style. They both started off doing psychadelic rock with their first couple albums. I will say however, that the demonstrations this video set out are too different to compare, I can somewhat see Child in Time's solo(just the first slow section) being compared to Gilmour's style, and but Highway Star is way out of place with this video's comparison. If I were to make this video, I would have had set some solos against each other. Money vs Lazy (for the jazz/blues style) Shield vs Let There Be More Light(for the psychadelic style) Young Lust vs No One Came(for the groove style) You know, set it up to have comparable songs side by side, which this vid does not do a good job with.
Ritchie Blackmore doesn’t get enough credit. You always here the big names like Paige, Clapton, Hendrix and Gilmour. Blackmore can play far more intricate pieces sometimes triple the speed and be so precise and still holds its feeling. I don’t like comparing guitarists but he’s underrated.
comparing two completely different musicians playing different styles of music is like asking who is better between Englands cricket team and the all blacks rugby team, both are superb playing in their own particular field.Thanks anyway for reminding us all of their contributions to music.
+bryan jones Actually England's cricket team is shit, that's the worst example you could've used. You should've said India or Australia's cricket team, maybe even SA, but definitely not England.
+Imad Basayev So - you know little about cricket, how about guitar? PS England just won the test series in SA after winning the ashes and beating India in the 2014 test series.
Far beyond those guy.. Blackmore are flexible genius Fender strat Master..unlimited only on heavy blues ..he's a fore father of neo classical Rocks n the First Hardrock guitarist to collabrates with famous London Orchestra ..
Apples and Oranges. You can't compare. Both are accomplished masters of the guitar. Completely different from each other with unique approaches. Both have produced amazing work.
Both are great! Different styles. Gilmour sends chills down your spine and Blackmore causes your blood pressure to rise. Two great symptoms that are only pleasurable when induced by great rock n roll.
Two of my favourite guitarists of all time! I reckon Ritchie could play Dave's compositions very well, and add a little something of himself to them, but not the other way around. On the other hand, Dave can sing! But if we are just going on guitar, I vote Ritchie.
Ritchie is the King, I love Deep Purple. Saludos desde Argentina, siempre me gusto más Ritchie Blackmore que David, igualmente es cuestión de Gusto, David también es un gran Guitarrista
Вы послушайте rainbow - weiss heim и все поймете. Меня до слез трогает. Там мастерства не меньше чем чувств и амбиций его. Очень замкнутый и очень открытый в игре человек.
2 lendas...duas maiores lendas de todos os tempos.... Blackmore é tecnicamente impecável..Gilmore um feeling incomparável....difícil decidir...mas por muito pouco me identifico mais com o Mago da Guita..."Blackmore"
We can't compare their abilities, both are superb masters. But rather comment on their perspective and approach. Gilmour = Tone & Sound - Blackmore = Melody and Shred
Gilmour doesnt just play guitar, He makes it sing. Also a huge fan of Blackmore. Hard to compare them, IMO both are the best at what they do. So lucky to have grown up with such great music. 💖
Трудно представить без этих двух мастеров полную палитру красоты гитарного звука и его извлечения. Это два гения давшие нам наслаждаться прекрасной музыкой. Спасибо им.
И хотелось бы может сравнить,но не могу.Оба родом из моего детства,оба перевернули моё мировоззрение.И по сей день слушаю их с величайшим удовольствием,не надоедает.Нельзя сравнить несравнимое.
We all grown to love the comfortably numb solo. That being said if it was a Blackmore tune he would change it or do something different with it every show. That is why he is underrated by everyone but his peers. Very few can do that like Ritchie. There both awesome and these comparisons are stupid.
Antony Russell yeah yo uwoldnt compare artists like van gough to turner or such like. depends on the individual, i dislike most technical guitarists, just not a style i like. its all bout the sound the thing makes.
So hard to decide. Both have damn near untouchable melodic sensibilities, and both have played some of the most powerful leads of all time. I give it to David, but probably only because the slow burning stuff is more versatile listening, usually Ritchie just gets me pumped to smash something or in general be a badass.
Ці Великі музиканти назавжди залишаться Великими. Обоє зростали талантом в 60-ті роки минулого століття і через відсутність в той час потужної сучасної електроніки, добивались успіху прикладаючи великі терпіння і працю. Таких більше не буде ніколи. Велетні рок-музики назавжди!!!
Well, you could certainly listen to either one of these super talented guitarists but I've been listening to Blackmore since 1972 and I still think he's the very best. For me, it's just a matter of preference and certainly not a knock on Gilmour. There are certainly some similarities though that I am hearing that makes me think that either one could maybe imitate the other if they wanted to. They're both amazingly talented!
Gilmore played brilliant, slow-cooking, emotionally wrenching solos, but Blackmore was/is more versatile... Temple of the King and Soldier of Fortune on the one hand and Stargazer/Child In Time on the other. It's of course wrong to compare, but I find Blackmore far more engaging over a continuous, 45-60 minute listening session.
@HMBH I posted that comment two or three months ago, by now I’ve already become a die hard Ritchie Blackmore fanboy. I actually think he’s pretty underrated compared to guys such as Hendrix, Page, Clapton, etc... Dude is an innovator, pioneered a lot of techniques and styles (adding classical influences, using very diverse scales, pioneered techniques such as sweep picking, etc...), and was very technically proficient for his time. I honestly think he’s the most comparable to someone like Brian May, who’s also a huge innovator but doesn’t get as much credit by the general public as he should
First off I have to say well done on the video I have never had the privilege to see Pink Floyd live but I have seen Rainbow and in all the concerts I have seen I never seen anyone that could play like Ritchie Blackmore but even before I saw this I believe they are the two greatest rock guitarists of all time.
Ребята, спорить безполезно! Великие гитаристы. А кто лучше? Как выбрать? Как можно между ними выбирать, а кто лучше Рафаэль или Рубенс? Не спорьте - любите обоих. Я очень люблю Deep Purple и Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd и Deep Purple.
both unique and extremely talented!! cant , i am a prog rocker loving the floyd and a hard rocker loving deep purple....cant compare.....love them both
скажу так, не совсем согласен с подборкой соло от Ричи...и если взять лучшее , то Блэкмор будет посильнее и интереснее, хотя не могу не отметить соперника в батле,Дэвид хорош, и гитара звучит великолепно....среди смертных он в пятёрке, но Ричи то Бог!
Steve that is a HUGE true Gilmore and Blackmore are from another World . The Top 2 Guitars in my top 10 list: 1-Blackmore. 2-Gilmore/ Roty Gallager 3-Robin Trower 4-Iommi. 5-Mick Box ( Uriah Heep) 6-Peter Hensley ( Lucifers Friend). 7-Tom Scholz ( Boston) 8-Peter Park ( War Horse- Fandango) 9-Tony Clarking ( Magnum) 10-Uli John Roth/ Zeno Roth.
Как их вообще можно сравнивать!?У них разная музыка и стиль.У обоих ярковыраженная индивидуальность. Как можно к примеру сравнить Да Винчи и Рафаэля!?Это же не метание молота,где всё ясно и понятно:кто дальше зафигачил,тот и молодец !.Это две величины мирового масштаба.Первопроходцы харда и психоделика. Для меня они оба лучшие!!!
Люди разные , поэтому каждому " кулику , свое болото " хвалить приходиться ! Для Меня Пинк Флоид , это вроде большой машины по переработки металолома ! Блэкмор он не мистик я бы сказал романтик !
Gilmore has two great solos: time and comfortably numb. Blackmore has a body of work stretching back to the 60's. Blackmore is also a more complex composer while Gilmore's music is pretty one-dimensional. I only wish that the uploader would've put up some better examples of Blackmore's solos. There's a solo from a concert in '93 of Child in time that is absolutely amazing.
***** i don't know what i'm talking about? why don't you debate my points rather than simply telling me that i'm wrong like a child would. gilmore and co. never really went beyond that depressing pessimistic rock. and gilmore never went beyond his heavy blues influence. pink floyd never really evolved, rather they simply became progressively more commercial. by contrast, blackmore never put out an lp that sounded like anything before it. he was fearless when it came to experimentation and growth, unlike gilmore, who can't seem to play a solo without the delay pedal. blackmore is light-years beyond in terms of creativity, progression, consistency, and musical fecundity. the way he bookended his career with astonishing compositions with deep purple is proof of this. listen to child in time and then to perfect stranger and you realize that there is simply no comparison when it comes to which artist has more to offer.
Ritchie is incredibly fast playing difficult solos, his technique is superb.David on the other hand has that unique feeling on his playing that made him famous I love them both :)
THE EAR makes no mistake the feelings and your mood are complements ! Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blacmore Jeff Beck everyone else please take a number. Without them the others would not be inspired and I am one of them. tHANKS FOR THE INVITE !!!!
Richie blackmore a real master of vibrato arm n father of legendary neo classical genius ..n in live performance they were Superior individualy periods n more over he's responsible to introduce Legendary Hardrock famous vocalist of Gillan, Coverdale, Dio, Bonnet, Turner..
@@franagustin3094 I will go with Ritchie. But I am from Memphis and saw Shawn play with his band Savage when Shawn was 13 years old and he at 13 was already better than most guitarists. I was not 10 from Shawn and his guitar was almost bigger than he was. I thought Ritchie you have some competition. I saw Shawn over the years and had the blessing to talk to him. He was a super person and he found value in all musicians. The World lost something special when Shawn passed way to young. He was a great Classical Pianist also.
They are both on my top list and i have seen them playing live and it's not possible for me to choose. Like to choose between two of your kids. But with the Child in time solo i get goosebumps all over my body.
Stupid comparison at all. Ritchie Blackmore has far more technic than Gilmour, but their styles are so different that it's just impossible to compare. Blackmore is pure overdriven guitar, while Gilmour uses masterfully tons of effects in his guitar. I doubt that Blackmore could make a piece of what Gilmour does with pedal effects, and doubt even more that Gilmour could play so well with basic setup as Blackmore does. Both are masters in their art, each with it's own. ps: there's a new video around youtube where you can have a glimpse of them playing together in the Rock Aid Armenia version of Smoke on the Water.
People hear a delay peddle and act like Gilmour is peddle junkie, regardless of how he achieved it it still is a tone achievable with a delay a single coil neck pick up and a decent amp, period.
Elephant I the room imo.....1 Gilmour bend emotional value 1000 blackmore bends, tell me I'm wrong but I want you to look me in the eye when you do it just so I can catch that meerest fiber o f insecurity that reveals ALL! LOL
