    He plays the guitar as effortlessly and as naturally and easy as I sip coffee from a cup... It's truly amazing.. Blackmore..

    I'm pleased to hear that Mr. Blackmore remembers Black Sabbath's influential single "Whatever That Song Was." It's a personal favorite of mine.
  • He is not only the guitar master of all times. Ritchie is old school British humour in person. Most people simply dont get it.
  • @KSA-wr4er
    This short demonstration of how he plays the intro of Black Night and the smooth changing to Hendrix´s riff of Hey Joe shows how versatile Blackmore is as a guitar player.

    Very few musicians can be called masters. Ritchie Blackmore is one of them though.

    I love Fireball. It’s interesting how artists sometimes dislike one of their works, while fans might consider it among their best.

    deep purple wouldn't be deep purple without Ian Paice - he was the bedrock of their sound

    Guy is a MASTER on a guitar! I can hear it in his hands and he is an intelligent guy as well. His candor in his interviews makes him a great listen.
  • I like Fireball, but 'In Rock' is my favorite one of all the band's albums. Ritchie is one of the best guitarists, and Blackmore's Night are truly superb!
  • Machine Head, Made in Japan, and Burn are just classics from Blackmore and Purple. It just doesnt get any better than those albums.

    My 2 influences as a young guitarist were the "Men in Black" !! Thank you Mr Blackmore and Mr Iommi !!!

    Ritchie is so tight and clean he makes it look easy. His solo in Strange Kind of Woman is a personal favorite of mine.

    1971 a great year for music. Free were my favourite band but also loved the original Deep Purple line up.
  • What an amazing interview. He has such a rye sense of humor and brutal honesty as he's havin' a pint. This interview must be in a pub. Cheers!😍☮🎵
  • @RS-ox1bl
    He has light confident energy and great vibe. I feel happy to listen to him. Too unusual extraordinary person. Full respect.
  • Deep Purple in Rock is in the top 10 of all the best albums ever made. Here in the Netherlands it is in every living room.

    Born in 1963, Ritchie Blackmore was one of the guitarists who influenced me the most - Deep Purple Mark III was already history when I started listening to rock music, but the albums were still in the record stores and "Made in Japan" was a big hit - I then actively followed Rainbow and "On Stage" is in my opinion one of the best records of all time - thank you for all the wonderful music! //
