i like Ritchie's expression when he says what happened when the guy told him about the neck at 5:53!! xD and also about the thing at the headstock! xD at 6:57.. and also the quote "to annoy people". x]]
Blackmore is the only guitarist who can play Smoke On The Water and i enjoy listening to it ..anybody else that plays it just makes me say.."You're Not Ritchie Blackmore!"
A really interesting video. Could someone please tell me the name of the band Ritchie mentioned in the beginning (not Vanilla Fudge but the other). Tried to listen to it a several times but couldn't hear the name. Probably mountain something.
To me In Rock is the hardest, Fireball is the most interesting because every song offers something different and Machine Head is the best as a unity! 3 GREAT ALBUMS!
I think he's talking bullshit here. We all now that purple started with smthg like gibson semi-hollow and he switched to fender to follow Jimi. I also can't imagine someone evening the fingerboard after scalloping. they would simply replace it with new or it would be too thin to scallop again.
Ritchie looks and sounds good in this interview. Ditch the mustache, gotee and girl (OK she can watch from the wings) and pick up with the old bandmates and let it RIP! C'mon Ritchie, do at least one rock tour every 2 years.
omg that is awesome. now i wanna go put one of those on the head of my guitar too! =p i like how he shredded on his oldest electric, though, sadly, I could barely hear it.
The band mentioned by Rich at the start of the interview is "mountain" fronted by Leslie West. They played at woodstock but disbanded in 1972. They were awesome and can properly described as pioneers. They were before Zeppelin, Sabbath and Steppenwolf. Mountain were the first.
He did up through and including In Rock (when he used his Gibson ES335). When he used strats during In Rock he used Marshall's. Once he stuck with strats full time in '71, he stuck with Marshall's until '94 when he switched to Engl.
ratbatblu no those were marshall dummies with vox ac30 circuitboards. He was endorsed by marshall but hated every amp they made for him, so they just put an ac30 in a marshall chassis
"we did in rock, which is one of my favorites. then we did fireball [gillan's personal favorite], whick is not one of my favorites, and then we did machine head, which, again, is one of my favorites" blackmore loves to hate gillan!

Hey, Still of the Night is a really good song i reckon

David who?
Blackmore. He is a genious. And for me he's like a god.
This interview is amazing.
So much to learn first hand about those days.
Hmm .. nobody is like Ritchie Blackmore!
He's the one.
Respect!
I'm just surprised he has some old strats that he hasn't broken!
roflmao, I love how he suddenly forgot Coverdale's name.
My god, he's a real me me me, kind of guy and a bit boring to listen to...
haw haw haw! did you hear Ritchie fumblin' around for the next Deep Purple singer's name?
"umm.. that guy.. uhh ... David Coverdale?"
hehehehhehe!

yeah me too, he got good songs but I dont know,after 2 years from DP he changed his way, and hes not on my top.
I prefer gillan, dio, robert plant

ritchie is god! ditch Candice and get some kind of Coverdale, Hughes, Blackmore, Lord reunion. That would be awesome!
WOW! I haven't seen this in ages. It's in my VHS collection somewhere. Thanks for posting this.

wrong on everything. educate urself about the guitar as instrument more before u call bs ;)
@assa123assa123 Actually he used a strat and a semi hollow in the early days. Look harder.
Rainbowpal 3: building guitars for 17 years, eh? Gosh.
u da man!!!!
I hope the poor guy did`nt get the strat smashed over his head after refretting it.
the name of the song is Hard Lovin' Man from Deep Purple in Rock, 1970
That guitar is as old as she is.
@tdolz but it sounds sooo fucking good
Isn't that polytheism?
What song is playing 2:34?

Candice Night is hot and Ritchie looks better than before too. It's strange, but he really looks younger than when he was in Purple.

blackmore loves to hate gillan!
