"On stage I can be extroverted when I feel like it ... as long as i've had a few of these."
Great to see Richie having his own RUclips channel!
Best of Luck to Richie and Candice!!!
Ritchie, to me, is way more than an idol. When I was starting to get serious about learning, I could almost grab a few of Clapton's licks (like from Crossroads), maybe a few of the repeating riffs from Jimmy Page...but man, when "In Rock" came out? Forget it. The speed, the non-standard melody lines, that super-compressed, mid-range-y tone, the classical influences...Ritchie was so far over my head! I just listened in awe.
Solemn mature kinetic sonic attack controlled with purposeful dignity....Showmanship of Mr Ritchie Blackmore with Guitar.. thank you for sharing
Love Ritchie! The best! 😍😍😍😍😍
Ritchie has had one hell of a life with many stories I enjoy hearing and this is why Ritchie is Ritchie you cant tame this beast of a person who went on to jam with some of the musical best musicians world class to say and still become a legend thru all of this excellent life he went on to live truly inspirational.
Greatest rock guitarist of all time!
I have this Blu-Ray. Some great stories on it and well worth getting for any serious music fan. Yes, Blackmore is a great guitarist and songwriter, but as this clip shows he's a great storyteller as well.
Can Listen To You All Day, Not Only Great Telling Of Stories But Such a Great Voice. Loving it Mr R. Blackmore .
..
Ritchie, you are a great guitarist!
And a very dull interview.
M A G I C .......!!!! It is magic to hear this man speaking........................
If you have insomnia, yes.
I discovered Deep Purple years ago of course but never got to see them live, or Rainbow. I’ve watched several videos now of the early bands. I’m old too and can’t handle seeing them old onstage. I always noticed Ritchie never sang and I never heard him speak. It’s a true pleasure to have found this.
I hope these interviews will be transposed into an autobiography. It's time, Ritchie. Too many great stories.
Mr. Blackmore, I have dreamed many times of being able to shake your hand, and now that I can write to you /with a translator from Bulgaria/ I don't know what to say. I started with your music as a child and you shaped my taste in music in general. Thank you very much! And to brag: I recently bought a guitar made in Mexico according to your instructions. I have fulfilled a 40 year dream of having a guitar like yours. Now thanks to the internet I am learning your stuff. Thank you for having you! /I apologize if google did not translate correctly/

Mr. Richard Hugh Blackmore 🔥
Thank You for the music, all the great performances & the stories.
No smoke without fire 🔥🔥
Everyday for the past few months, taking a few hours out of my day, I’ve spent watching ritchie blackmore talk/play. Been following deep purple’s mesmerizing playing ever since I was a kid. Now 18, and I couldn’t look more forward to playing more of their music with my band.
A superb guitar player and create storyteller as well!
If he were to make stuff up I couldn't tell
For me he is the best rock guitarist ever. He is one of the most influential rock guitarist, yet apart from his fan base he doesn't seem to get credit for that. A beautiful blend of technical proficiency and style.
He is by far the best ever.
Well said
I think there's several reasons for that. The biggest is he has this internet reputation for being a terrible person so there's a lot of people who don't even listen to his music who go out of their way to bash him on RUclips. Also, there's not a lot of video footage of him in concert especially early on to prove how great and influential he was. I just watched a Brian May interview saying how great Ritchie was and how he was doing all this amazing stuff before Hendrix even came on the scene.
"tHe BEst, JeRry! ThE bESt!" - its such a ludicrous statement relating to *any guitar player* In fact, as a "far better" guitar player by the name of Eric Johnson put it over 30 yrs ago: "whats better, the colour blue or the colour red?" . Its.That.Simple....
@@MoreMeRecording So calling someone "the best, Jerry! The best" is "ludicrous" but when it's someone you like who you think is "far better", like Eric Johnson who, to be clear, is not better than Blackmore, then the term has meaning? Because it'd you that'/s saying who he best is, and not someone you disagree with?
I'll never forget seeing Ritchie & Deep Purple Perfect Strangers tour Tacoma Dome 1985. During a Gypsy's Kiss the entire sold out general admission crowd was dancing everywhere you looked. F'n epic. I get asked to this day what my favorite concert was of all time & though I have several, that one ranks at the top of the list
Same here. I caught that tour when they were on their Australian leg. I dug it so much I caught the show again two nights later. Both times, they did Smoke on the Water towards the end of the show and both times, they faded out and let the crowd sing the chorus for a bit. Everyone was right into it.
Wonderful guitarist, one of the best.
Blackmore is absolutely the Best!!
Great batch of stories.
Thanks for posting this.
Genio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, mis saludos y respetos a unos de los mejores guitarristas de la Historia !!!!!!!!!! Abrazos !!!
Very, Very good to see......such enjoyable conversation. Thanks !
Imagine turning up to see The Killer and getting Ritchie Blackmore too, what a time
Love this guy
Happy Birthday 🎂 78
Blackmore is the greatest guitarist and my eternal idol! I want him to play on our new album as greatest guest guitarist!
Wow, I love sit down and listen to his experiences. I believe his favourite car is Mercedes-Benz ? What an absolute LEGEND! 😎
My uncle works at a wig factory in East Plumpton UK, he's friends with Richie an supplies all of his wigs in exchange for lute lessons....Ritchie still has a huge fan base of men in their 60's.
Im one of them!
Can you imagine he lived in the same village or within miles of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page? How much guitar talent can one area have that’s ridiculous! Cool Guy unbelievable guitar player!
Great stories!!! Many thanks :)
Blackmore is the greatest guitarist in history of Rock
100% Agree
@@markdonnelly6921 Agree, one of the greats
100% brother.
D'accordissimo è il mio preferito.
Top 3 in the world Hendrix Van Halen Ritchie Blackmore.
Awesome!!!!!!!
Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest musician ever lived on this planet .I was 9 years old when I heard the Deep Purple song when a blind man cries. . His Guitar spoke to me , since then I have been the biggest fans ever .Last time I had the pleasure seeing him was in Scotland _ Edinburgh Blackmore's Night I left a bunch of flowers on the stage .One of the best concerts I have ever been. Thank you very much for all your wonderful music Mr Blackmore . No one else is coming close to you , ever. 🙏
"Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest musician ever lived on this planet." No hyperbole at all although many would say Liberace was.
Entertaining video..
iCON!!!!!
Legend
Talkin bout a guy that has played with Jerry lee Lewis and Gene Vincent - apart from being who he is I mean. Can’t get any more epic now can it?
Richie laughing !...oh boy..this is really something unique !!
Ritchie Guitar God Blackmore
AMAZING!!
Like him or not, he is among the greatest rock guitarists and a fascinating personality.
If Ritchie were a actor he would make a Damn good one.
I've seen this video several times, now we have to wait for the debut?
Its always worth the wait if its Richie.
@@markymark560 Not .... if he leaves the keyboard player stranded on stage for 20 minutes soloing .... while he and the band ... take a nap!? Who knows, there may have been a problem?
(I’m referring to the most recently incarnation of Rainbow)
After 10 minutes the poor guy was running out of any sense of flow and ideas ... and it dawns on me, and I suspect half the 12,000 seat arena, that Ritchie is probably playing a joke on him.
The energy went out of the show after that unfortunately. Every band can have a bad night. I saw them on their first indoor show a year previous to that in Birmingham and they were fantastic. Ritchie did some shredding during Stargazer.

@@seabud6408 "..it dawns on me, and I suspect half the 12,000 seat arena, that Ritchie is probably playing a joke on him". Love it lol.
We need a video montage of Ritchie practical jokes, including spaghetti in IG's face and sandwiches at JLT.
@@markymark560 It'd be cool if Ritchie introduced it live.
...waiting for the debut of a rerun might be some form of Ritchie humour?
The sense of humor this gent has...
How in the hell does Ritchie's hair look better now than 40 years ago
Great story
Great movie. Nuff said.
Hi Ritchie, guitar hero, rug from São Paulo 🤘
I've heard the Gene Vincent/gooseberry story before, what a laugh!👍
Move. Great advice from the Master.
mooooove
thx master
Дорогой мистер Блекмор,в вашу честь был назван мой кот.Вы лучший!
The Man In Black
Ritchie is as Iconic as Jimi was
Also better than
Jim Endrix, anche Syd Barrett sono dei grandi chitarristi.
Ritchie was releasing albums when Hendrix and even the beatles did not exist yet.
@@InterestingStuff888 🤣🤣🤣🤣👈
@@neddobrijevic3183 Dude you can check it out. Blackmore began his career in late 50s. Beatles first album was released in 1963
Hendrix (most overrated player on planet earth) released his debut album in 1967. Ironically Blackmore was influenced by him but come on, an ancient player like Hendrix who did not live up to experience the 70s era. (no pun intended) can't hold a candle to someone like Blackmore whose powers grew and grew until he reached godlike level around the 80s.
Tell me one memorable tune Hendrix composed.. yea whatever
Ritchie Blackmore, the submarine maker!
Ritchie, is there any possibility you and Tommy Iommi record a song together, a shred guitar song ?
Who is Tommy?
@@richardhincemon9423 tomy bolin brother
@@fearview rip Tommy b o l i n December 4th 1976. Who has no relationship to Tony Iommi. LOL!
Love Blackmore……..
Here is the writer and player of the most dynamic and the most dramatic solos when comes to main stream rock music..the note magician with the guitar chops to boot, too. The greatest blues player that refused to play straight out blues. For those who know, know what I'm talking about. I'm hearing this none sense how EVH is the greatest, most influential and blah, blah guitar player.....Sorry, but he is not even close to Ritchie when comes to creativity and cleverness, not to mention that he learned a lot from Ritchie first, not the other way around....
Richie's catapult! In American 🇺🇸 terms slingshot! 😆🤪
It's Richie, he might use an actual catapult! Or trebuchet!
@@Losrandir 😆 Blackmore is such a Renaissance man! 👍🎸
Most bands
❤️
I don't remember this being part of the actual documentary though. Is it one of the extra clips perhaps that didn't make the final cut?
I'm sure this is on, I remember the stories
Don Arden came from the same "management school" as M Jeffery the Hendrix manager, need l say more'.
👍😀
Gooseberry, I'm going to have to google that.
He’s such a super bucket (Show off) 😂
2:55 you won't see that often.
How many times has Blackmore dyed his hair!!??
Hindsight Honesty 101.
Ritchie from a hard rock singer you become a pop Mahala singer, very sad. The fans want a reunion with Deep Purple for a tour, don't forget this.
Funnily enough he doesn't strike me as introverted.
Ах вот кто у них был один Карабас Барабас ~ довод осборн !
When Don Arden heard that The Small Faces were sick to death of his managerial bullying,they found a more suitable manager..He found the new guy and opened a fourth story window and had him hanging upsidedown by just one ankle.He would have dropped him if he didn't stop his connection to the band..Deeply unpleasant guy.Hated and feared by nearly every musician in the 1960s
I think Ritchie invented the two hand play before Eddie Van Halen claimed to.
My guitar hero, close to knopfler

Anyone who has The Ritchie Blackmore Story has seen 90% of the posts on this channel.Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed so far.
Привет из Украины со Львова.
Is Ritchie a wig???? He has a lot of hair for his age.
I think he's planting artificial hair one by one
Дон Дон у них был свой
Jon Paul Jones can talk much crap as he wants , but this guy is amazing, and far more unique than Jimmy Page.
I love Ritchie Blackmore as a guitar legend. But man is he boring. Who is the other guy? Is that supposed to be an interviewer, or is it a dummy?
Best band Ritchie was ever in was Screaming Lord Such and the Savages - we used to go see them all the time -- far far better then Rainbow or Deep Purple
Better than Rainbow and Purple.. Lol
Tosser
Where does he get his wigs?
Richie blackmore has never been interested in selling his personally like a lot of artists do it's always been about making music of a high and disciplined standard but when he does talk it's just about the art yet being introverted gets accused of being anti social where was it ever stated as a rule you have to be extroverted because that's what others expect it's never been his responsibility to live up to that nonsense expectation
