Ritchie Blackmore - Rare Interview (1997) VERY RARE FOOTAGE!

2010-03-09に共有
This is one of the best interviews that i've seen with Ritchie. He talks fantastically about
6 Deep Purple songs. And he explains how, when, from where, from what they became,
with fabulous examples after each song, made by Japanese interviewers. The songs are:

Mandrake Root
Black Night
Speed King
Smoke On the Water
Lazy
Highway Star

Pay attention at the end when he talks about Highway Star, and mentions Gillan and what

he says about him !

Believe me you can't often hear Ritchie talking about Ian in that way !

  • I keep coming back here just to hear Lazy on a 12 string acoustic.

    Don't you just love it when, near the end, Ritchie says 'Ian could sing' and then just in time adds 'At that point'.
  • the best guitar player ever (for me).Love this video.
  • Such a poker face guy but we can see he respects Ian Gillan very much!

    Funny as well as talented - and kind. Had the privilege of meeting Ritchie in 1970 (Romford Odeon) when arguably DP were at the top of their game. Great man.
  • a huge influence to this day...killer riffs and rhythms
  • I wish Ritchie was like this all the time, cause i actually like his attitude in this video. And i like that he recognised gillan's voice as being great, even if he implied that he can't really sing now

    Wonderful hearing this man talk, so down to earth and deep musicality there. And yes why not talk about where ideas came from, or what 'nudged' a certain riff into reality? We can learn from this and not worry about it!
