the intro to "overlove" is the greatest guitar intro ever recorded. craig goldy is an amazing player who deserves far more recognition than he ever got.
@cheezyridr
Thank you for that! Such a nice thing to say! That kinda stuff means way more than you can imagine!! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you my friend!! Thanks!!
@@TCraigGoldy never knew of Goldy untill 2020 winter, that live live in philly solo is pure taste and shred!
I was skiing at Breckenridge the day after Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers show in Denver. They were all there and Giuffria too. The Purple dudes were skiing double diamond blacks, I'm not kidding. My friend and his brother followed them up the mountain on the gondola but they were very skilled skiers. We saw Blackmore, Gillan and Pace go down a double diamond black at a breakneck speed I thought only pros were capable of. We never did catch up to them. Later we had some hot chocolate with the singer of Giuffria and Gregg Giuffria himself who had the most incredible hair I have ever seen on a human being.
I think Ian Gillan had or still has a place in Keystone. I know I’ve seen him at A-Basin before.
What a tale!
blackmore being athletic at anything would surprise me
Awesome! Love the hair comment😂! Craig Goldy's got quite the head of hair too😆! I've recently had the pleasure of chatting with Craig, and he's an incredibly nice, generous and humble guy matched only by his guitar skills.
@daryl Hall lol 😆 he was a pretty good soccer ⚽️ player or football. Don't surprise me at all. Ask Iron madden
Craig is a crazy good guitarist . Doesnt get the recognition but one of the best 80s players.
Thank you Robert!! Such a very cool thing for you to say!!
besides Ritchie imo Craig is the only guy to play the Stargazer solo without butchering or making a mess of it, love his playing and he never got the recognition he deserves, first time I heard his work was on the Dream Evil album played on a local radio I thought to myself "Vivian was good but this new guy is amazing too"
That's not what I read in a review. They basically said he didn't even attempt it.
@@TCraigGoldy Craig Goldy was by far the best metal guitar player of the 80's post Randy. The fastest, most technical player to ever be in any top tier metal band. Every bit as good as Malmsteen and MacAlpine but also he could play rhythm and sell records and get radio play.
Craig is an amazing, underrated guitarist ...i loved his Giuffria work and he slayed In Dio ...cool story too!!!
I met Ritchie a few times along the way backstage at concerts. I think he could see I was calm and not a weird fan and each time invited me to the hotel bar for a pint. He was open and nice to me each time. He’s done a lot to create a persona as he was taught by Screaming Lord Sutch but in real life he’s a very “down to earth” guy with very unique experiences. He’s a professional and acts like it, when he’s not testing or prancing people. He’s my guitar hero all the way. I’m glad Goldy had a great experience with him.
Thanks everyone over at FullinBloom!!
And on Thanksgiving!!!! Wow what a nice surprise to find this!!
I think the most important thing is that Ritchie Blackmore was a total gentleman!! I loved going out in the crowd to see them and hear them live for the very first time!! It was amazing!
Depending on who's telling the story about DP messing with our lights and monitors was in my opinion done because everyone in Giuffria except for Krigger ( the drummer) and myself all walked around with a sense of entitlement and I'm sure that is why whatever "bad" thing happened....it didn't affect Krigger or myself!! All the DP guys are total pros and they all were total gentlemen....all of them!! Gregg, Dave and Chuck always acted aloof and entitled on that tour! Not so much on the Foreigner tour.....perhaps they learned their lesson by then!! Thanks again guys!!
Would have been a dream come true for me. I always say you should respect people especially your elders.
@@thetruthhurts6652
Very well said!! It certainly was a dream come true!! DP was and still is my favorite band!! Then came Rainbow with Ronnie!! That was amazing music too and which in turn made me have 2 favorites!! And yes....respect your elders....and as an opening act.....respect the Headliner!! Thank you!!
Love your work on the Dio albums, and also on your solo records like Insufficient Therapy. I gave a guitar lesson to a friend in high school, and he said the one solo he wanted to learn was Overlove by Dio. Glad you commented here so I can now keep up with what you are posting on your channel today.
What an amazing experience you shared with Ritchie, Craig! It is so great that Ritchie recognized your talent and ability as a guitarist! You are carrying on the tradition of that school of playing so well! 🙂👍
@@TCraigGoldy I just subscribed to your channel. You're a class act, in my book! If you ever need a rock vocalist for any tracks I'd do it for free, it would be an honor!
Rock on 🤘
Craig is top 5 in the world if you ask me,seen him many of a time . The last time I saw him was with Dio’s disciples I had back stage meet and greet and all dio band members are top notch gentlemen super nice Simon wright gave me a played drum stick and I was as nervous to just shake Craigs hand I wish I would have heard this story about Blackmore b4 I met Craig it was totally awesome one of my idols . He should be in every issue that has to do with guitar playing !!!!
I've met Craig Goldy .. Rudy Sarzo for some minutes prior to my interview to Ronnie .. Craig was very kind .. same Rudy .. very nice people. RONNIE was the nicest person of this business I've met till today. RIP 🙏
Met Ronnie myself! Such a great guy! Signed every album I had. My prized possession is I have STARS 12inch signed by half of the people on it
True story.............. I met Richie in the 70s. England, Newcastle City Hall, (could look up the exact dates if needed). Met all of the (Rainbow) band, who were excellent. They did two consecutive nights.
Here's the story. First night met all the band members, I was a teenager and a huge Blackmore, Purple, Rainbow fan, (Not sure if 'Fan' is the best terminology!). As a guitarist of many years, (more than I am prepared to mention!!), I was then, and still am convinced that Mr B was/is an absolute league of his own.
Anyway, very fortunate to meet all band members, as they arrived. Strange to be standing with Cozy, on his own and couldn't get access in the gig. Funny now on reflection, but Cozy was great. We had a good chat for a while, until the backstage door opened, to let Cozy in. FACT but crazy, Cozy let me in (as the bouncers) screened entrance. Once inside Cozy and myself, were met by Cozy's Dad. An absolutely lovely bloke. He was excellent and gave me an unbelievable tour backstage.
At some point, we passed Blackmores dressing room, and it did have a sing on the door indicating something like 'Bagshot Bullet', or something like that, implying 'No Entry'. Cozy Dad, knocked, entered and asked if it was OK for me to meet/see Mr B.
FACT = Richie had his back to us, strumming on one of his Stats. Showed NO animosity, and said sure, signaling us to come in.
A genuine, great, natural conversation ensured, and Richie was happy to give me his autograph. I thought at the time this to be strange, as he was reputed as not doing autographs!!!
He was very pleasant, amicable and down to earth!
Being in almost absolute shock and unable to comprehend what was happening, I remember thinking 'remember this, don't go silly, leave them to prepare for the gig'.
This was/is an experience that will go with me to my grave, (but it didn't finish there!!!!).
Next day (and second night at the City Hall), i was (once again) outside of the venue, stage door, hoping to catch a glimpse of my hero's.
When it occurred, I me with Richie again. He was brilliant. I thanked him for the autograph (from the previous night), at which point he looked at me................. smiled (yes he does smile!), and said 'you were the only person to get a autograph last night, and it was good to see me again for the second night'.
We had (another) good conversation. As he didn't 'smash' his strat up (on the first night), I asked him if he would be doing this on the second night. He smiled (again) and said, 'that depends on how the night goes, and on the audience'.
He was brilliant, a gentleman and a true professional, (as was all of the other band members and family).
The second night, he did 'destroy a Strat', and I was very privelidged to experience one of (if not THE best) guitarists EVER.
No one can ever take this from me, no one can ever dispute this, (I know, I was there!).
Don't believe the negative bullshit, or the egotistical arrogance of some, and don't be mislead by some that are 'bitter'.
Blackmore is in a league of his own (and deservedly), has and likes a bit of a 'reputation'. But is without doubt light-years ahead, of all of the critic's, has-beens', rip off merchants, attention seeking, overated, self indulgent, knobs.
You either get Mt B, or you don't. I feel VERY sorry for those that don't!
You have/will miss out on guitaring history, and a guitar legend.
TRUE STORY and one which I value and will cherish to my grave.
To those who feel the need to knock Richie, then maybe you have separate issues, (To Thine Ownself Be True).
To those who know REAL guitaring skills, then you are able to enjoy, absorb and understand true talent.
Great story, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing ! I've always had the same opinion, I've met Ronnie, Glenn Hughes, JLTurner, Don Airey, Glover .. but never had the chance to meet my idol but I have heard many nice comments about him. I play guitar cause of Ritchie Blackmore and David Gilmour !
@@crusheverything4449 Feel free to check for other spelling mistakes in my post . There are a few and I was more focused on the content than any spelling! I remember that the concert tickets were spelled 'RICHIE BLACKMORES RAINBOW'. I have seen it used with and without the T.
His real name is Richard, so the correct spelling is RICHARD, (without any 'T'). If you want to stick to 'what cannot be disputed!' Not sure what MR B prefers!
Nice story about Blackmore. Different than the usual tales you hear.
Craig is exactly the type of guitarist that I love playing with. He's got technical ability, but never loses the melody. Great tone, great character and on some of my favorite albums. If anyone hasn't heard him on Dio's Master of the Moon, they're sincerely missing out.
Craig Goldy one of the most underrated and underappreciated guitar players there is. I'm glad he had such a cool experience with his idol.
Thank you Eric!! It really was a Dream come true!! Thank you my friend!!
@@TCraigGoldy WHAT?!? Did Craig Goldy just reply to my comment?!? Now that's way too cool! Thank you for the music and the memories! Always looking forward to more of them. And now I've subbed you'd channel I can enjoy it all
@@MrEricPymm
Thank you Eric!! Just in case....this is Craig....my legal 1st name is Thomas and when I first tried creating a YT profile my name was taken so I used my legal 1st name....Thomas.
Thank you for your reaction! I'm a fan that got into the band! So when someone says the things that you did....it is still sort of surreal!! Thank you my friend!! Eventually gonna post some more songs!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!
@@TCraigGoldy I remember from way back in the day you saying that you met Ronnie and told him how much you'd love to be in his band, and then it actually happening. And honestly, as great as it must have been, stepping in after Vivian had to have been maybe the second most difficult role to fill, next to Jake coming into Ozzy after Randy, albeit Vivian didn't pass away. And you both just freaking killed it. Not only great players, but great performers too. You two have got the best stage swagger (and hair 😆) in the game, not to mention the playing. I might have the tour wrong, I've seen Dio several times, but I think Yngwie opened and you did your solo with the lasers and the spider...blew my mind! And the guitar tone...I listen to the live videos here on YT and I don't think I've heard a better,, crisper,, easy to hear tone.. by easy to hear I mean I can hear every chord and riff and note with such clarity..its never a struggle to hear any part.. thats probably due to the quality and ability of the player too😉. I really love your solo stuff too. And the talent in Guiffria was undeniable, but not quite "metal" enough for my taste. Thank you so much for taking the time to have this interaction with me. One good thing about social media. I'm still blown away to be having this exchange with one of my idols. A fan for life❤
@@MrEricPymm
Thank you Eric! I'm just a fan that got in the band!! To read your kind words is still very surreal to me! I'll never forget that night.....I was in the band Rough Cutt.....Ronnie was the producer and Wendy was the manager. We had late night recording studio sessions to get a good rate.....I was sitting on the floor American Indian style and Ronnie was sitting in the chair next to the console....and he looked at me and said "Goldy.....if Viv ever doesn't work out... you'd be my first choice"! That alone was amazing....actually just being able to meet him was amazing....but being in his band was an honest Dream Come True!! I agree about Giuffria....it's the main reason I left.....mostly cause I had the amazing opportunity to work with Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge right after they left Ozzy....and before Whitesnake. This was so much closer to the kind of music that I both loved and wanted to be a part of as well as be writing with them!! It was then that I got the call to join Dio. Ronnie and I were friends and there were so many nights just the two of us on his couch hanging out and watching Rainbow videos. But this time....I was sitting on his couch as his guitar player! What a mind blower!! I really never got over it! I was always still nervous around him as much as we liked to work and hang out....you just don't get over a dream coming true and it being in the form that this one took....and the ride it took me on!!
That tour with the Spider was a very special rig....guitar, amp and foot pedal combo that I didn't get to use on the Dream Evil album.....but it got pushed through the powers that be and it does make a big difference!! Thank you for noticing!! However.....the thin cable that ran behind my guitar neck for the laser was thin.....but thick enough to make the distance between the back of the neck and the strings feel much further than ever before! That was quite an obstacle to overcome on top of the fact that I had a 3rd degree burn on my leg from the video shoot for "All The Fools Sailed Away".....and having to take pain pills before the concert and after each concert we had to make sure that I could have a room with a bath that allowed me to basically scrub a hole in my leg with Clorox Bleach in the water.....every night!! But we got through it!! And when I say "Thank God"....I mean....Thank God!!
You know.......when a pure heart makes a wish......and leaves no stone unturned......something magical is going to happen!! Regardless of what anyone else believes!!! Thanks Eric!! I really do appreciate your kind words and I really do appreciate you!!
I saw him with Dio on the second leg of The Sacred Heart tour w/Accept at The San Diego Sports Arena, Craig's homecoming so it was a hell of a show. Cool Goldy & Blackmore story! Happy Thanksgiving as well.
Saw him then too. I was upset Vivian wasn't there anymore, but he was really good.
That must have been an awesome gig!
@@BubbaZen10 same here, what did I know? It was just different.
@@andrewbecker3700 Still a really good show, but yeah, different. Sounds like Ronnie decided to go the Ozzy route.
I think of Ritchie the same way I think of Buddy Rich. Both were brilliant early, both spent most of their lives onstage being acclaimed for their talent and audacity. I’ve hung out with Buddy and had a great time, and I’ve seen him shred and embarrass musicians on the bandstand. I’ve seen Ritchie be a gentleman, and seen him be an utter prick. I don’t think either of them ever really grew up. But man, they both have given us incredible music, incredible playing.
Goldy=beast. Giuffria was a great band. Growing up, loved all that old DP stuff.
In 2015 my band Old James toured with Craig Goldy and Black Knights Rising. He couldn't have a been a kinder, more thoughtful and caring dude. We love you Craig Goldy!
Love him or hate him, Ritchie will always be my all time favorite guitarist. Deep Purple (mark 2) will always be my favorite band. Thanks for the great video.🎸
You'd change your mind if you ever met him. Absolute and complete asshole.
Top 3 in the world 🌎
Craig is amazing and talented.I hope he keeps on rockin and spreading his music all over the world
Craig Goldy seems like he has lived a great life and has awesome stories and great experiences
@Jon Rossum
Thanks for that! It's like being the Heavy Metal Forrest Gump....no one would believe that one guy could have experienced all that in one lifetime!!
Thanks!! Very cool thing to say! People keep telling me I should write a book.....maybe it's time for that now?
In any case.....thank you!!
Watching this video made me go back and find Ritchie's guitar solo at Cal Jam 1974... if you haven't seen it,, it's mind-blowing
In a word... hot.
Which one? Ritchie was magnificent on every song. Mistreated was special and it still sticks out to me 47 years after the California Jam. I was 13 at that time.
Story time with full in bloom. Love it.
Great holiday treat fullinbloom is my favorite !!! .. :)
I saw that tour 3rd row at Long Beach Arena. Never thought I'd see that lineup but when they got back together it happened. I was 18 and its a great memory.
Saw Giuffria open for Foreigner and they rocked!
Wow . . . I literally decided to put on RUclips as Im currently reading Jerry Bloom's Unauthorised book on Ritchie Blackmore.
Then I came across this.
Wow . . . 👍👌
I know two people who have met Blackmore by complete fluke.
Flo short for Florence:
Met Blackers in '94 at a friend's dinner party.
She got on like a house on fire as she didn't know who he was.
Yes . . . Ritchie Blackmore absolutely detests people or fans who tell him his the greatest.
PS - When Flo asked him about his job, Blackmore said, ' I'm a poorly paid session musician.' He then said "I'm going to start a band that exclusively plays Medieval music."
She was stunned when she found out later who he was. Her guitar playing brother wanted to kill her as he was a huge Purple/Rainbow fan.
Anybody would feel irritated by 1000 people a year telling them the same thing.
I don’t put famous folks on a pedestal, and I don’t assume that they’re not fragile human beings like the rest of us.
I love story when Bonham & Blackmore basically told EVH to bug off at the Rainbow b4 Eddie was famous! Just another annoying fan boy. Oh boy did he make something of himself!😂
I love these interviews
Something magical is added to these stories with your delivery. I could listen to Full In Bloom read the goddamn phone book!
I went and seen deep purple on that tour at Cobo hall in Detroit awesome watching Ritchie busting his guitar,to me at that time 84or 85 Ritchie Blackmore was my hero too
Good one. We need more.
that was the coolest story, mate thanks so much for sharing, made my day. I idolise him too. The solo in Smoke on the water is beautiful, as is Lazy and so many other songs. Id be dribbling in your place hahaha.
For the life of me I can never figure out why people are Afraid of Mr Blackmore. Is he a tough guy ? Doesn't look it. Anyway its refreshing to hear something positive and human about him. Mr Goldy huge talent and a class act!
I met craig . Opened for him once . I was a kid . He was pretty cool . He said i was really good . I am alot better now . Interesting interview.
I met Ronald McDonald once, he said I was pretty cool.and gave me a cheeseburger, im a lot fatter now. Not that interesting of an interview.
@@johnhernandez1505 drink a diet coke .
Checked out your videos. You have some cool music ideas. Keep strumming man!
@@strivingx67 Thanks man . I post a little bit . I cant post everything but i do try to let people hear fresh music i am writing..
A little sincerity can go a long way with folks who are used to being stroked. When I lived in Florida I would sometimes bump into famous people. The best thing for me was to pretend I had no clue who they were. I got to hang with some pretty amazing folks that way.
wow the ultimate story, you go Goldie, really great great work on magica!
Thank you Sam!! Very cool thing for you to say!!
Awesome!
Happy Rockin Thanksgiving to
F.I.B.
Keep up the Great Work Man.
Every time I hear you speak I like you more. Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this one a lot. Great stuff in here. I saw DP on the perfect Strangers tour in Long Beach CA. Long Beach Arena (Laser show was awesome). I honestly can't remember if Giuffria opened here or not. I also loved the Concert poster, tickets $12.50 all seats!!!! Good grief those were the days. $12.50 won't get you a beer today! :-D
Good stuff.
Saw that tour in Albuquerque, NM. Became a big time Giuffria fan after that.
Good guy to give Ritchie a fair shake. I always think Ritchie is just an introvert at heart and misunderstood...
Well put!!!
When he was a session guitarist and member of bands The Outlaws and Screaming Lord Sutch in the 1960s, pre Deep Purple, Blackmore was actually bullied by other musicians. His later domineering, distant and unpredictable persona was a reaction to that.
@@jimmycampbell78 I didn't know that but it makes sense...
Misunderstood? Spits on fans and talks shit about former band mates. Yep....misunderstood
@Vincent oooo he couldn't stand getting blown off the stage by the opening act!!
Of all the band's I've seen, Craig was the best I've ever seen.
Thank you Jack!! What a nice thing to say!!
Such a wonderful musician. And seems like a good guy as well!
Craig Goldy is one of my favorite GTRist.
Thank you Jerry!! Such a very nice thing to say!! Means more than you know!!
@@TCraigGoldy I have the Sacred Heart DvD .I love the interview .
Craig said "I already knew the songs".
It only confirmed what I already figured out .
Also a while ago I read a V Cambell quote that floored me .Something about playing the GTR angry. Huh?
I guess ole Viv is right were he needs to be .God knows Def Leppard's wimpy music will never be considered ANGRY .
Remember the Hit Parader article from 88' where Craig Goldy is describing his picking style as unique in that it is all finger movent and no wrist. This developed from Craig's cartoon drawing days and doing pencil shading work thus developing that tight picking technique. Look up his art work.
It's rad!
Thank you C.Bigsby!! I didn't know anyone knew that until I told them the story!! Thanks!!
I read that article too! And if you watch his picking hand, it is exactly that. It looks like he's painting rather than picking. Amazing!
This is the Craig I remember from school, he had a gift with his hands and mind. Creativity always finds its way to be expressed.
I tell you what Craig we are all like people or folks in general I love Blackmore and luv you because of the influences great story my man it reminds me of stories in my small town I get along with a little more strangers once in a while that have that knack but I'm not in a big circle but your amazing and I tell it like I see it bro ! Nice story Craig it means a lot to me brother your amazing man we are on the same wavelink
I've always admired Ritchie as a guitarist, not so much as a person. I've heard plenty of unflattering stories about Ritchie. If you become successful in life you should be humble, instead of screwing with people just because you can.
I saw that tour DP/Guffria Jan 1985, week later saw Kiss and Queensryche San Antonio....out of all the heavy metal hard rock bands I saw and heard in the 80's(maiden, saxon, kiss, acdc, judas priest, etc) Deep Purple by far was the loudest....it wasnt even close.
Great story. Great players!
It’s always good to hear the other side
Sad we'll never see bands like Dio, rainbow again... Ronnie James Dio was absolutely the greatest metal vocalist of our generation and perhaps the best lyricist to ever write and compose songs Dios voice was so transparent and yet he had a edge and range that made him so eunique... Rip Ronnie, jimmy Bain and cozy Powell...
That was one of the Greatest Line Ups ever in the business. Rainbow Rising is a Masterpiece. You have to remember Elf had 3 albums that didn't make it. Then Ritchie Hires the whole band except for the Guitarist. Ritchie was the missing link. Ritchie couldn't turn down Cozy and Jimmy for the second album. Although I know Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is very under rated.
What an honor!!!!
Craig is a brilliant guitarist you know your good when Blackmore is asking how you do something on guitar , also Craig fared a lot better than George Lynch who Ritchie did not get on with lol
@Christine Ayres
Thank you so much for your kind words!! They mean more than you know!!
Bad ass!!
Kevin Russel told me he was invited by him too. Ritchie complimented his playing & had him back stage for a beer & his friend from NY, Joe Lyn Turner was surprised. Kevin Russel was in 707 opening at Day on The Green. He corrected my blues playing w/ some private lessons but i digress.
Seen goldy touring with budgy around 2007 brilliant guitarist.
Thank you Clint!! I appreciate that very much!!
Yeah! Graig Goldie!
@@crusheverything4449 Goldy
That was a great rock n roll story. R.I.P. - R.J. Dio
Gone but not forgotten... 👍🎸
"We're all born upon the cross. You know we're the throw before the toss.
You can release yourself but the only way to go is down..."
I saw that tour and just a few months before I saw Gillan with Sabbath!
Envying you seeing those legends in their prime. „Born Again“ is so underrated btw!
Well, that's ONE nice story about Blackmore.
Man some of these musicians from the 70-s / 80s sure had big egos man I mean BIG EGOS
Wow what a nice guy ! Dream Evil was amazing
Ronnie James Dio was the ultimate lead vocalists and Craig Goldie was a awesome guitarist I fucking love Dio first 4 albums Holy Diver Last IN line sacred heart Dream Evil FUCKING love Dio and with Black Sabbath and Rainbow Elf was alright
RIP RONNIE JAMES DIO 5-16-2010
TRES TRES Cool
🤘🏻
Who conducts the interviews? I love his voice, demeanor, and fantastic questions.
@@crusheverything4449 i’m just the opposite - it is really unique and draws me in big time.
The comment from Crush Everything is not viewable.

My band has been together 2 months-
- Guy Patterson
For some bands I’ve been in, that’s two months too long-
- Del Paxton
I saw D.P. with Guiffria in Pittsburgh in 85, And Craig did exactly the solo he describes here, Wonder if it was the last show of the tour?
Please more Ronnie James Dio stuff
Ritchie man in black axe master.. Craig former BUDGIE axe man. Whooya
Love that AC/DC cover on Master of the Moon! 😃
@husq48
Ha ha!! Yep!! That was a difficult situation! It was Ronnie's riff that he wrote on guitar....and Simon ( being from AC/DC ) mentioned the similarity and Ronnie dismissed it. So, we just went with it! I for one am not trying to fool anyone!! Ha ha!! Too bad.....cause the rest of the song is pretty cool! I know this wasn't meant in a bad spirit and only joking ...it's not your fault for noticing!! And Ronnie had a great sense of humor.....and he would've loved your comment!!
@@TCraigGoldy Then there's the Nugent cover on "Magica!" 😃
@@TCraigGoldy BTW, Ronnie made a HUGE mistake in letting you go after "Dream Evil." However difficult the writing process was, the end result was a great album. A return to from, even Murray returned to put his stamp of approval on it!
@@husq48
Ha ha!! That was Ronnie's riff too!! Same type of deal there with Ronnie not really giving in on the similarity!
You're great!! Thanks!! I needed the laugh!! And the intelligence behind it and it being a clever poke at us for fun!!
@@husq48
Thank you my friend!! That was a very special album at a very special time!! It seems to be "growing" on people more and more now a days!! Thank you!
It would suck having to walk on eggshells around Blackmore every night.
...saw R.B.R. in Toronto...Scorpions headlined...I mean...were the opening Act (Blackout)...came on stage rockin'...the neck "snapped" on Blackmore's guitar...fortunately he had another one just like it...
The rumor I have heard many times is a guitarist that was in one of their opening acts that Blackmore felt were better would be kicked off the tours. Dokken in 82 was one.
I wonder what phone number Ritchie gave him because according to Ian Gillan Ritchie doesn't have a phone because he lives in a different world, he called it Greensleeves world
Great f****** story God bless rock and roll
1985
You can't play like Blackmore and be "normal" in the contemporary sense of the word. Sane people don't compose the solo of Gates of Babylon or Startgazer. It's not possible. Your mind has to work in a different way.
@eliase13
Wow!! Well said!! I often try to tell people in a similar fashion that trying to play a Ritchie Blackmore solo note for note and feel for feel...etc.....is like trying to quote Shakespeare for those classically trained actors and how the Shakespeare experts criticize them. Blackmore is from another planet!!
There is no excuse for being an asshole and treating people poorly. Blackmore is an asshole. A worthless fuck.

Mas o mais lindo de todos,chama-se "Goldy"!!!!
Por quê será?????
Ritchie Blackmore, Blackie Lawless, and Sebastian Bach are the kind of people no one has anything good to say about.
No true. There are many people that have said great things about Blackmore. Ritchie just was about the music not the Fame. His personality is the reason that Ritchie has created more original music than anyone else in the Business. Anyone as good as creative as Blackmore has personality qwerks. There are many people Lke Brian May that think the World of Ritchie. He was a trailblazer.
except in this video, and in these comments.. "no one" except these people, I guess
Imagine being stranded on a desert island with them and Yngwie Malmsteen - start swimming!
Apparently the guy in this video had plenty of good things to say about RB.
@@gregs8685 Blackmore was probably thinking "Jesus, this guy loves me more than I do!"
I see no reason to fear Ritchie. What's he going to do ? Beat you up. I don't think so.
goldy went for the drink then blackmore gaff taped his mouth shut and shipped him to siberia

Wow!! Yep.....I just heard about the new varient! I love Australia!! So many great memories of that great place and great people!! I hope all is well and that you're all healthy and safe Michael!! Thanks Brother!! We're all in this together!!
Hang in there ( without a noose ...ha ha ) and I'm sure things will begin to get better for all of us before mid 2022!! At the very least.....what a huge wake up call to the globe!!
Craig Goldie can blaze on the guitar. What he did in Dio is only a fraction of what he is capable of. Funny story. At the end of Craig's solo he does runs across the stage and slides on his knees, in Salt Lake City (I think) his roadie decides to put Vaseline on the part where Craig does his knee slide. lol. So Craig does the knee slide.....and slides right off the stage. LOL. LOL. So what does Craig do? climbs back on stage, plugs his guitar back in, and keeps on jamming. lol. That was funny.
Thank you for the first part of your comment!! Very cool thing to say!! But
I'm not sure where you got that story of me sliding.......cause I never slid on stage nor did I ever slide off the stage.....however at one time I practiced a "summersalt" as a jump and role with my guitar on stage.....and when I finally got it down.....there was an outdoor concert where I tried it cause Giuffria were headlining that concert on a day off from the opening slots....and I unplugged myself after the run, jump, role that was supposed to go into the guitar solo of that song while in a stance after all of that....and my tech had to wonder on stage and help me plug back in cause my 2 pedals also came unplugged.....and then the solo section was over.....it's a funny story....and I never tried it again! The singer David Glenn Eisley slid across the stage all the time.....and I think he might've slid off the stage once.....you might be thinking of that!! But thank you!!
👍🏽
Guffria also a cause in the contract if they get kicked off before the end of tour
Guffria gets 100,000 dollars
Thank you world thank god , deus em primeiro lugar depois a family depois o som o metal o hard rock .
That's right Rosa!!
I saw this tour. Giuffria was ok, Purple was awesome.
@Slow&Low
Yep.....Deep Purple was awesome!!
Ritchie is #1
@@TCraigGoldy Craig Goldy was awesome as well, the lead singer of Giuffria was the corny part
@@slowemm
Hey there,
Thanks!! I think there was a bit of "cornyness" going on with everyone in Giuffria at some point!! But thank you for the kind words!! BTW....this is Craig.
My legal 1st name is Thomas. When I tried to create a YT profile my name was already taken.....so I had to use my legal name.....Thomas!! Thanks!!
@@TCraigGoldyCool dude! I saw you guys open for Deep Purple at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Loudest show ever. My ears rang for 3 days. Giuffria was actually pretty good...your lead singer told the audience, "On Monday, I want you to go to your boss and say...FU!" That and the Darth Vader voice intro were the "corny" parts. Enjoyed the Giuffria album and the ones you did with Dio 👍 🤘🙌
@@slowemm
Ha....I remember that now! Yikes!!
It was sooooo great opening up for DP ...( my favorite band.....and then came Rainbow.....then I had 2 favorites ) every night getting to go out in the audience and watch them and hear them!! I never got to see them before Ritchie left!!
Thanks!!
Richie is not all he seems.
6:14 and then Craig Goldy woke up
I wonder how Blackmore thought about SRV !
In some pictures,he looks like Rudy sarzo for some reason especially during the hear n aid starz....but I may just be tripping
Story Blackmore , perfect estranges depp purple curto a banda guitarr Brasil rio de janeiro Dio dead infelizmente.
Ritchie Blackmore looks like Bon Scott.
👂
This sounds like what grand theft auto San Andreaswas going for
Cream dream
Doesn't seem like Ritchie Blackmore would feel threatened by another guitar player?
Google what Ritchie said about Joe Satriani. ☹
Good point Scott....I don't think he feels threatened.....I think he just doesn't want guitarists who don't truly respect him to climb over his back in order to reach their selfish ambitions. Not all who open for him are like that....but from what I hear about all the guitarists who've cussed him out to his face over this ( which in reality is a short period of time ) and that it is they that feel threatened ( and not Ritchie ) and/or these guys feel "robbed" of what they think is "theirs" that is in all actuality being glorified in a way through the Deep Purple/Ritchie Blackmore fans that they should be grateful for playing in front of!
@@TCraigGoldy are you any relation to Craig Goldy?
@@scotts4259
