Came here because of a Ritchie Blackmore Documentary! I'm totally mesmerized by this guy! Unique stage presence! This dude may be the father of metal! Sure he's the Father of Shock Rock!💯
@@richardhincemon9423 uhmm sometimes not..it was dificult to sell something like captain beefheart's "trout mask replica" tbh. Anyway..you meant that they ignored Screaming lord's music and stage act to take credict on originality? I believe Alice said this yearsss after the 70's (correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not sure)
@@richardhincemon9423 nice, you guys are awesome then...but that wasn't the case for most people with good old beef, even when he tried out commercial music, the guy just failed to make it big. Anyway...your thoughts of Alice ignoring Screaming Lord?
I saw Lord Sutch in the late 80's/early 90's in a London pub with John Wagstaff, friend and leditor of Format the international record collectors magazine. This time no Stars like Richie Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Nicky Hopkins, or Carlo Little in his band, but nevertheless the incredible performance of Sutch blew us away🎉. Afterwards we got together talking long into the night. What a great performer! What an interesting chatacter! What a gentleman! 😊 High time his early fantastic singles from 1961 onwards are rediscovered. There was life and Rock'n'Roll in Britain before the Beatles... Thanks for the memories!
The Heavy Friends record has been called one of the worst ever made because it came out in 69. If it came out in 1977, it would have went gangbusters in London and New York City.
He is not shown in the video Ritchie Blackmore was a Hired Hand back in the day listen for the scraping of the pic and the Flamenco style solo that's him cheers
