As a fan of Ritchie Blackmore I feel I am so lucky to hear him play with so many different singers it is awesome he is awesome

RITCHIE BLACKMORE !!! MY ALLTIME HERO !!! In every point of view and not just as a guitar player.... also as a person !

3:40: Dio saying “I am not a writer of love songs”. Yet Rainbow Eyes is, through the usual medieval imagery, quite a good love song.

What's funny is that Blackmore didn't like Dio's fantasy leanings so got rid of him. Now Blackmore walks around dressed as a Hobbit.

I think the problem with Ritchie Blackmore is his mind is being constantly bombarded with idea's and influences that when people finally come around to his way of thinking his mind already moved off into a different direction!

Ritchie Blackmore. It isn't JUST a name. He is a legend, idol and a great guitarist. Oh, no, I can't express his virtuosity. Sorry:)

I think Ritchie is a great guy, people just don't realize when he's taking a piss.

Love Jon Lord's comments on Coverdale. Made me smile.

Blackmore is brilliant i saw him onstage three times but bad decisions on band members he hired and fired will allways soil his legacy

This video is so out of synch I watched it yesterday and listened to it today.

It`s big man. Ще мої батьки виросли на цій музиці. Річі основоположник року!

Thanks so much for this. It's from that Top 10 Heavy Metal show that was on Channel 4 in '99. :)

5:16 Not many people can admit that to themselves, let alone to the camera. It's pretty amazing how aware of his own flaws he is.

3:40 - "When the same thing is said over and over and over again, I find no justice and no happiness in that ... so I wanted to write things that tickled other people's intelligence ... Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll ..."

"Dave's serpent has drooped." So funny, but Dave is still pumping. Ha.

that is why the CJ performance is so great , the tension in the , rather static , air.

Actually, Cozy left. He was not fired. And Bonnett is a far superior vocalist than Jolene.

Ritchie has always been a fan of pop music.

Bonnet was the epitome of NERD, but he could sing

"my names david, im in town for the night" lol

It’s miracle nobody got killed or injured when Blackmore was swinging those ( replica ) Strats on stage.

1:11 "Dave's serpent has drooped" ha ha ha hahaha

Great Video

7:16 I think Joe is singing a take for his cover of Deep Purple's Lady Double-Dealer :)

Why did you send the audio track through a Leslie??

ritchieee

HE IS ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST & ORGINAL FROM DEEP PURPLE SO AS JON LORD & IAN PAICE

Does anyone know what programe is this taken from ?

Part of the BBC "Top ten" series, this one on UK HM bands......

muy bueno

Why? The stuff he mades with Blackmore's night is awesome and we have 40 years of rock made by blackmore.

I've followed these guys and their music for a long long time....it's so sad to see Richie Blackmore mental state has deteriorated.

What the show it was? Or film?

What program is this from?

What programme is this?

Very hard to understand Lemmie

2:01 this guy has the same voice of Lemmy Klimister O.o

Hey man, Jon Lord seems John Cleese!

He found his YOKO!

Great guitarist but what a SMF. This man is crazy.

last solo is from Steve Vai who has nothing to do with deep purple or rainbow LOL

Ace Ventura meets Rainbow

coverdale is a legend

If Ritchie ever fires Candice... would it surprise anybody? hahahaa Dude is awesome, sure he's past all that and digging the laid back folk thing, but damn I wish he would resurface and do a rock record!!!

who is that guitarist 9:40

'In site'? Is that supposed to be INSIGHT?

Coverdale,l mean really.

b/c millions of people wish the same thing & would jump all over something NEW in the rock realm if Ritchie chose to do it... much the same way millions would pounce on a new Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath or Soundgarden album, you can only listen to the past body of work so much y'know? Nothing against Blackmore's Night though, I actually dig it quite a bit.

Mmh, well, at 8:49 there is lemmy kilmister, and, fuck, I'm answering myself?

Wow David, that shirt and tie....TOO LOUD MAN!

"A succession of people who wanted more than he was prepared to give":, talking about a workaholic. Come off it, Ronnie - less Wendy, more application? Yes, I know, RJD, R.I.P..

None of the great guitar gods of the 70s survived the pop invasion of the 80s. Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Van Halen, David Coverdale (glam stuff), Ozzy... I wonder what's up in their heads when they make the CONSCIOUS decision of pursuing "love songs" and corny lyrics, must be boredom or something, makes no sense!

1:51 - "That was Whitesnake, of whom David Coverdale (I think) is still certain that I ran off with his bird at Hammersmith Odeon that time ... but I wasn't guilty, in fact ... and this, now, is a fine band of boys who have a very eccentric leader and a very eccentric singer ... come to think of it, they're all pretty eccentric actually ..."

David Coverdale (glam stuff) helped to kill rock music

Glenn was too girly for Deep Purple.

Because it's a stupid comment in the first place made by someone who sounds like he's off in fairlyland (when he's not being a great rock guitarist that is). And since it's made in a publicaly available interview it attracts comment. It's called free speech fanboy.

Blackmore left Deep Purple cause He found Purple getting to ,,Funky&Soft,,To much Mellodic stuff with the Hughes&Coverdale vocal combinations ........ But then listen to Rainbow years later, songs like Cant let You go & I Surrender , I mean come on Ritchie who were you Fooling back then ????

Blackmore wants to live with fairies?!

terrebly out of sync.....

This sound is horrible!

Coverdale's good but Gillan is better.

Sorry, I don't agree with you. Great Guitarist? Most Definitely Yes. Great Person? That's Highly Debatable. IMHO, Blackmore is as much an Arrogant as much as a Great Guitar player he is.
