I learned more about Ritchie in this interview than I learned in the last 50 years of being a fan.

@StenSturesKanal 2 года назад

No one talks about how funny Ritchie is. Love his ironic delivery. 😁

@abelincoln5698 3 года назад

strange as he is , I think Ritchie is completely honest in everything he says. He doesn't seem capable of sugar coating anything or exaggerating. He just lays it out there and doesn't care how he comes off. I respect that. And he's a brilliant guitarist too. But y'all already knew that

@franknada8235 3 года назад

It get me happy to listen to one composing musician openly admit he ripped line ideas from others. I just hope he hasn't been blaming others in vain, like the led zeppelin enormous egos have done making them embarrassingly hypocritical.

Gillan amazed me. How hard they worked in those days, thrashing his voice w/ everything he had every other night. Its toll was apparent in most, but gillan, it never seemed to affect him. Definitely among the most indestructible rock vocalists ever.

Good to see that Ritchie values his early classical music lessons. He says they only lasted a year but gave him a good basics in music and obviously influenced his style for the rest of his life. After the lessons he says he practised 8 hours a day because he loved the guitar so much. That's the sort of committent you need to get good. And if you've got a sprinkle of star dust you become great.

@orange70383 3 года назад

Ritchie has done what most dream of doing, he's followed his own instincts and did things the way he wanted and has been very successful doing it. He really is a unique intensely gifted musician with an extremely dry sense of humor.

FUN FACT: Ritchie AND Deep Purple are FAR more influential than Zep and Sabbath......COMBINED. EX: all the Guitar Heroes from Vai to Randy Malmsteen wanted to be BLACKMORE. They weren't aping Jimmy Page or Iommi! EX: all the metal and hard rock singers wanted to be IAN GILLAN, not plant or ozzy! From David Lee Roth to Gene Simmons (!) to Bruce Dickinson to Rob Halford and ON AND ON! ALL OF THEM SAY DP WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN ZEP / SABBATH COMBINED! From Motorhead to KISS to VH toJPriest to Maiden to Metallica to Malmsteen and most of the rest!

Ritchie is an exceptionally talented musician with a music courrier spanning several decades. His dedication to the instrument is phenomenal and his ability to switch between rock ,classical and folk is rare . Ritchie has been an inspiration to millions of guitarists here in India as well ,who along with his virtuoso playing style also try to emulate his grumpy ,eccentric and irratic behavior. Ritchie is surely one of those rare irreplaceable stars who will live forever.

Voice over by Alexis Corner, father of the British blues boom in the sixties. Korner encouraged many American blues artists, previously virtually unknown in Britain, to perform at the London Blues and Barrelhouse Club, which he established with Cyril Davies at the Round House pub in Soho. He named British rock band Free, and had most of the rolling stones playing in his band before the stones were formed. He also had a voice like smoked honey, a true legend.

For me, Ritchie is number one from the 70s, I love his style and sound enormously. He was sincere in this interview, and perhaps few are like that! Perhaps it is precisely this mysterious, difficult fluctuating character that a little bit sincerely resembles me that personally made him in my eyes the greatest of all and perhaps ever! It is my opinion, I had the pleasure of seeing only two concerts of him in Italy, they were both fantastic .... Ritchie Blackmore is simply a great artist ..... thanks for posting this interview.

@jonbongjovi1869 Год назад

Bonnett is one of the greatest hard rock singers ever (which is odd bc that's not what he does but then Ritchie hired him)! GREAT VOICE. GREAT PIPES. (Most rock singers and metal singers are AWFUL, and have shrieking voices or whiny voices like Vince Neal and the rest.) I think it was solely IMAGE that pushed GB out, cuz some fans were shocked by his LOOK.

There's an interview with Glenn Hughes he says Blackmore was unbearable mostly because he was too serious and focused on the music and all the other boys in Purple, except Lord and Paice, were also trying to have as much fun as possible at the same time...there are interviews with Paice and Lord confirming that...an extremely focused musician clashing with other extremely talented guys who were sometimes losing it because of too much drinking, partying and drugs...he actually never had that sex, drugs and Rock'n'Roll mindset and would get mad at the other guys

Bob Daisley asked Blackmore who was slinking out the back door, 'aren't you staying', to which the reply was in the effect of " No, I did this 10 years ago and I'm sick of it, But you enjoy yourselves."

Went up to him, offered to buy him a beer. He said sure, have a seat. We spoke for over an hour talking about gear, Baroque music (he knows a lot, very knowledgeable). This was 76, the Rising tour. I mentioned that I was looking forward to seeing the band next week. He then went to a pay phone (yes, I'm old), made a call. Got me backstage pass. Went to the concert - great f*cking concert. Went backstage. Met Ritchie again. He remembered me and thanked me for coming. Met the other lads in Rainbow. Great bunch of guys. Goddam, Cozy was funny as hell. Hit it off with Tony Carey (I'm also a keyboardist). He gave me suggestions on Moog synth settings. I found Ritchie to be a really nice guy, not at all like the image he cultivated for himself, down to earth, soft spoken, highly intelligent. And of course, he is the GOAT!!

I was in an aw when I heard him for the first time. It seemed that he was always ahead of any other guitarist at that time. One of his most brilliant solos is the one on Kentucky Woman. If you don´t know it, you should. Additionally his guitar sound still is exceptional, especially when he plays bluesy stuff. I once heard him with Rainbow. It was way too loud and not really good. But then he suddenly played a blues tune and that was worth listening to the whole damn show.
