Ritchie did indeed go through many different musicians & was said to be very demanding of them & being moody sometimes. But Ritchie was always a musician with a very powerful vision of what he wanted to create & had an equally powerful vision of how to get it......Ritchie himself explained it as him being constantly dissatisfied with his OWN musical ability so he was constantly trying to seek it out in OTHERS. Even if historically things didn't turn out quite the way he wanted what is without doubt was Ritchie created much that is great in music along the way & has left us with a GREAT legacy of music, songs and Albums. Whether with Rainbow,,,Purple , or Blaclmore's Night .....(Paul)
Yes very demanding, for instance he adviced Gillan not to copy Elvis singing because he hated it. I never cared for Elvis either so I fully understand his view.
Ritchie is indeed true rock guitar genius … one of the most influential and imitated … also undeservingly underrated because he didn’t conform to music industry corruption
Yes. Ritchie was never primarily in it for either fame or money....He was a PURE musician who loved to create & to play. He had seen managers in the rock industry making bands slave away on the road on tours & taking a huge cut from proceedings while the artists got very little. In the end Ritchie walked away from all that because with Blackmore's Night he would rather make a smaller humble amount of money to a smaller audience writing & playing music he FEELS than to be a slave driven artist on the road for management playing music he DOESN'T feel on the command of businessmen making much more money (Paul)
He's a genius. There are very few people who can match this guy. I believe Richie deliberately holds back 2 or 3 levels of his true talent. Not sure why he does that, but he knows how good he is. He should have been the most popular guitarist in the world, but he made some strange career decisions.
A lot of high end bands got more commercial in the eighties, Queen, Yes and Genesis of the top of my head. They're clearly very talented and creative so they can change directions and make it more interesting than sticking with the same genre. The Rob Bonnet era songs are still very powerful and the talent shines through the years.
I remember buying "Perfect Strangers" when it came out on cassette. The dude at the store read me the riot act, apparently not satisfied with it compared to earlier Deep Purple music. Sounded good to me then and it still sounds great today in 2025! The man is a freak of nature with a guitar 🎸 in his hands.
Blackmore always followed the melody, drama, wit and tension in his music no matter what genres. That is his essence which made a deep impression in me all those many moons ago when I was a boy...😊🎶🎸
Tony Carey was kicked out because during a concert he was not paying attention to Ritchie's instructions, who usually signaled with gestures the end or the extension of one of his solos or if he wanted to have a dialogue between guitar and keyboards (as often happened with Jon Lord in Deep Purple) ... Carey did not enter in time because he was acting stupid with some groupies who were on stage and this pissed off Ritchie like a bull ... Blackmore did not allow carelessness in this sense, both in the studio and on stage ... he has always been a maniac of perfection when it came to working ... a legend Ritchie Blackmore!
All these,"paradoxs",are easily understood,considering,that inspite the talent,he was involved with ,magic. As well as,caballist Dio(let him God forgivenn)they use these dark arts. Also,he tried to reach,the myth of Jimi.
This AI generated content is boring and trapped with laundry of words that repeat. From a bombastic title that leads you to believe there are some new revelations to basically run a chronological history of Blackmores journey. Great inaccuracies,no revolving doors ever. Blackmore was never isolated and there was no double edge sword. He charted his own path and achieved what he wanted which is his own musical freedom without record management breathing on his neck. Dying hard fans will never desert no matter what style Blackmore plays. Long live the King ❤
Youve got it exactly right. Typically these AI generated exploitative clips end up being extremely repetitive. Theyve trying to make the clips as long as possible while doing so from small amounts of very superficial information about the subject matter. Theyre filling YT with trash who for some reason doesnt seem to care about the abuse.
Why on earth he chose that boring Dio in his band Rainbow is a mystery to me. Otherwise Blackmore had class. Some Rainbow albums could have been better, though.
Perhaps people should get their legal eagle hat out of the cupboard or leave it behind forever. Life is about what you like not what you want. Nothing worse than old, sad, news and the addiction that goes on on RUclips for the next sad, horrific story.
Great record. To bad this lineup didn't record more music. I really didn't like Blackmores Night. His acoustic guitar work was good. However, I thought his wife had a very average voice.
@@stephensdygert7600 But she can play flute aswell and has nice lyrics allthough lately it becomes more of the same. Indeed pity he didn't record more with Doogie.
@willemsterk5992 I always thought after Tarja got fired from Nightwish. She would of been the perfect choice for Blackmore's renaissance music. If Blackmore fired his wife, everybody knows she would of left him. I tried to listen to this music, there were a couple good songs, however every song seems to sound the same. His wife really can't sing. One can only imagine how many great Blackmore albums were never made with Purple or Rainbow, because of this Renaissance music. Blackmore almost joined forces with Phil Lynott to create the band "Baby Face" Unfortunately Lynott died of drug related issues.
I love Blackmore though i don't think he could make up his mind if he wanted to be a serious classical metal composer or a rock star Rainbow should have kept the long live Rock and roll lineup then did a concept album The Lord of the rings they could have done that in my opinion but Blackmore had some problems and besides that i think he was more into his Richie the prick reputation was more important than the music Yngvie Malmstein has the same problem and i personally know guitarist who act the same. Just dickheads
The great Blackmore mistake was his prejudice against the new fase of the Deep purple and the creation of his band rainbow although there are good albuns and songs are a step back to the old fashion kind of rock . The thre Deep Purple albuns with covardale are great masterpiece but the guys of Deep Purple were not prepared to a step further and went back to a very overcome style of rock and also their neglected visual shows that they lost the Zeist for life. their vitality have gonne long long ago. A very sad end to a band like them,

Blackmore was never misunderstood, he was ahead of his time the definition of innovator
100 % right
🌈Mr. Richard Hugh Blackmore♈️
🎼Thank You For The Music 🎸
Ritchie Blackmore is the world best hard rock Master Lead Guitarist in United Kingdom, Europe & the worlds

I can listen too but thanks for the explenation.😢
Yes very demanding, for instance he adviced Gillan not to copy Elvis singing because he hated it. I never cared for Elvis either so I fully understand his view.
Ritchie Blackmore still the best and very influential guitarist. ❤

I've never heard anybody under rate Ritchie Blackmore. He's famous for being a genius. genius is not underrating
It is said that 'perfection is a harsh master'. Blackmore is the embodiment of that.
As well as Roger Water
Top 3 guitarists in the world 🌎
Not even close😂
@ulfminstrel1772 yup number 1
👍👍
Ritchie changed music forever, nothing wrong with wanting perfection. Appreciate him while we still have him, thank you Ritchie.
So wrong intro 😢 Blackmore is, and was, a genius

Ritchie Blackmore is simply great!
This would've been better, if the video matched the narration.
Also, something about Blackmore's Night would've been nice.
This is ai generated BS
Rainbow - no one bad song!
But does he know what he’s doing! Yes brilliant indeed!
Great player
Long Live Ritchie!!!

Since You've Been Gone" and " Still I'm Sad"( Yardbirds remake)
Since you've been gone was originally a head east song
Awesome. Jimmy Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore ... After them along time nothing... and then the others
Blackmore was isolated by his old band to receive the Hall of Fame title for the Deep Purple. This was a tragedy!
Ritchie Backmore to me is great guitarrist of Twenty Century . Jimi Hendrix was God !
Never thought much of them. 4 million album sales in the USA explains this.
My friend in cannock Staffs taught me and Ritchie to play guitar. He was his school friend.
Ronnie left because he was told it was going to be a heavy metal band ended up being a pop rock band
That’s why bands like Coldplay and U2 stayed together as they were great friends!
If all the guys would just walk off and leave them and nobody would replace them Richie would be done
All these,"paradoxs",are easily understood,considering,that inspite the talent,he was involved with ,magic.
As well as,caballist Dio(let him God forgivenn)they use these dark arts.
Also,he tried to reach,the myth of Jimi.
But when Ronnie Dio left rainbow rainbow become more of a pop-oriented band settling for the more commercial side
Purple, Rainbow and UFO, the golden triangle just like, Blackmore, Dio and Cozy, the best there is.
One time I couldn't wait for the rainbow UFO concert.only I was dashed when dio wasn't the front man.
Richie just should play by himself and have the machines play the rest of the music from
Misunderstood?😅. He is a freaking one of the finest guitar players ever. Нe has influenced almost every rock guitarist in this world.
Enjoyed this, though it does seem like the narration repeats the same basic paragraph about 50 times
This was shittily put together by a net crawler A-i program pulling generalities off the web, just to grab clickbait

Black mores band black mores rules and black mores theory theme and power yes push! Perfection is everything and dio input rocks

He dropped the band because nobody wanted to work with him
Too Sad 😔
There's only two tracks on Down To Earth I like: Love's No Friend and Eyes Of The World, the rest of it bores me to sleep.
Nothing about 'Stranger in us all" with Doogie White??? That was i.m.o. their best album.
Saw the band - I think 96 - at the Budokan in Tokyo. Memories of the youth.
Great record. To bad this lineup didn't record more music. I really didn't like Blackmores Night. His acoustic guitar work was good. However, I thought his wife had a very average voice.

A bit redundant.

Its a pity that this is AI generated content...
I stopped following that band after do left they became a pop rock band which is what their management wanted more commercially accessible
I love Blackmore though i don't think he could make up his mind if he wanted to be a serious classical metal composer or a rock star Rainbow should have kept the long live Rock and roll lineup then did a concept album The Lord of the rings they could have done that in my opinion but Blackmore had some problems and besides that i think he was more into his Richie the prick reputation was more important than the music Yngvie Malmstein has the same problem and i personally know guitarist who act the same.

Long winded, saying the same things over and over again. Could have been shortened to just 10 mins video.
Love him.
He must have been on coke. Great player but a awful guy.
Yeah Richie ruined a lot of good bands
Rides cz dirt bikes
I cant tell you one Rainbow song (or Rush either)
Listen to "The Man On The Silver Mountain" and you'll never be able to honestly make that statement again
LEGEND!!!
