From the first time i heard them I believed it was Jon Lord who kept their music together. Blackmore and Gillan gave it the wide scope but Lord gave it the core.
No, they worked well together. Ritchie put down the band's amazing live performance to the battle between Jon and himself, trying to outdo each other. Jon was the driving force of the early Deep Purple and it ended with the album Concerto for Group and Orchestra a live album performed by Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The failure of that idea led to Ritchie taking the band down the rock path and the release of In Rock. Jon was vital to that new sound but the songs and much of the energy was down to Ritchie.
@@chrisparnham Yep, I don't know who wrote this but Blackmore was very much the musical director of DP, there came a point where Blackmore got really fed up with Lord in particular and how little he was contributing in terms of songwriting, they had been crediting each member of the band equally up that point but Blackmore had had enough and set up a separate publishing deal so that only the band members who actually wrote the songs would get the credit and royalties relative to their input.
No, Lord didn't. He said it was Ritchie that came up with the riffs. If you watch any vintage mark 2 era concerts, Ritchie was the band leader. AND,. How could Jon Lord be in control if Ritchie was the leader?
I met Ian Gillan at Essex University in 1979. I was in awe as his band (The Ian Gillan Band) were playing on the same stage where my local band had played the week before. After the gig, my road crew helped his road crew tear down and I had the pleasure to chat with him for about 20 minutes. He was one of the nicest rockers I have ever met and that voice! I would have given anything to play with a singer and frontman of his calibre.
@@mrjohn1964 Thanks for the correction John. That was a very long time ago and my memory isn't as good as it once was. Thanks for being a gentleman about it.
I hope that Ian and Ritchie make peace before it's to late. We lost John Lord RIP, already and time stops for nothing. I know Ritchie is not an easy man to get on with but as intelligent as he is he must see that egos, his and Ian's, caused not only Deep Purples incredible music but their break-up. When John Lord passed away it touched Ritchie so much he penned a song in tribute to him. Even if they never play together again it would do the fans alot of good to know these 2 brilliant musicians had buried the hatchet. We can only hope.
@@Morticia1313 There are, but the ones I listed are some of the best in the world that will leave their legacy. Jimmy page, Hendrix but not Clapton in my personal opinion over rated and the list goes on and on.
@@vernrussell99 yeah but sometimes the perfection prevents you from making some really great albums because you don't listen to other ideas unfortunately I think that hurt Richie's career because he's been irrelevant the last 30 years
Ritchie has his own logic but he also changes his opinions through the years. Like most of do. But! This documentary is very simplistic and many facts are completely wrong.
It's really simple, Ritchie loved Paul Rodgers voice he wanted to go in a heavy blues direction like Free and Ian simply was not a blues singer he has his own unique way of singing.No mistery.
Pretty good but a few errors: 1. Rainbow was when Richie left MK III in roughly 75/6.Video states it was after he left the second time. The second leaving he worked with with his wife Candice Night and formed Blackmore's Night. 2. Ian Gillan has never sung Burn as stated at 8:40 minutes. That was Hughes and Coverdale. Without the tension between Blackmore and his band mates there would not have been Mk III, Mk IV, Rainbow, Ian Gillan Band, White Snake, Dio, Gen Hughes and BCC, ............. Deep Purple was the starting point for so music. .
For all aspiring Guitarists that want to learn Snoke on the Water. Please please don't play as barre chords. Not correct. It's played in fourths. You with hear the real sound immediately and hopefully it'll inspire you. So for those not sure what fourths are. Find E string note G. Third fret along.

@@andrewtate8303 did have, hasn't had one for years i think having to do Child in time all those years when he was struggling has destroyed his real voice .
With Blackmore ,and I Know a lot of people will agree with me ,is the best Guitarist ever . I would put him above Hendrix.I have seen hundreds of Rock and Metal Bands over the years and there's so many Brilliant Guitarist in the world, but if I had to pick one it would be him 2 Brian May ,Tony Iommi Angus Young
Blackmore didnt like being upstaged.Thats why he didnt get on with vocalists .He did the same with Ronnie james Dio . Saw Rainbow in 1980 and they were nothing special
He was never upstaged, so that is nonsense. I saw Rainbow on the Rainbow Rising tour, they were very special, even the Zeppelin fan that came with us was blown away
Blackmore admired Dio until Dio pissed him off one day when he gave Blackmore crap about one of the magazines having only Blackmore on the picture and not the entire band. Blackmore had nothing to do with that as the magazine publishers wanted only Blackmore's picture, and he didn't think of it much until Ronnie got in his face about it. Blackmore said he lost respect for Ronnie after that, and they never saw eye to eye with each other again. Then it was only a matter of time before Ronnie would be sacked from the band for whatever reason. And the reason came along when Ronnie flatly rejected Blackmore's request to write more commercial-oriented songs. But that sort of conversation would've probably never happened between the two of them, hadn't it been for their strained relationship. And I actually admire Blackmore's patience.
@@Sevastopol91 It was "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, not Ritchie and Ronnie's Rainbow, people went to see Blackmore mainly. There's a clip somewhere on UA-cam which shows the arrogance of Dio (I loved his time in Rainbow so not pissing on him at all) that showed he had a temper and sacked people for reasons that seem childish. If I find it I'll post the link
What do Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, Joe Lyn Turner, Graham Bonnet have in common? The answer is Ritchie Blackmore who found/wanted them as singers in his band.
Ritchie didn't find Dio. Roger and Ian Paice produced albums for Dio's former band Elf and invited them to tour with Deep Purple. Thats when Ritchie became aware of Dio.
And I've heard him say the opposite. Saying that if guitarists studied their trade as diligently as your average violinist, that he would have been nothing but an average guitarist.
Being a perfectionist is one thing, but telling your lead vocalist how to cut his hair is another thing. That's going way to far in my opinion. I'm glad Bonnet got his haircut anyways defying Blackmore. Ritchie is just what I wouldn't want, having another mother with you out on the road.
This is the best RR band ever ,better than Zep ,they are survivor's, warriors ,who take no shit from anyone and Ian Paiste should go down and 1of the top 5 best RR drummers ever to grace this planet
Blackmore is Deep Purple, together with Lord and Paice. Gillan did a great job, same as David Coverdale. I hate people who say they hate Blackmore, if you hate RITCHIE then don't go to the shows 'cause 90% of the gig is BLACKMORE's music Gillan did a great job but without Blackmore's he's not so good, check DP from 1994 onwards, check his solo stuff .. nothing special. On the other hand Coverdale was EXCELLENT with DP or with WSnake and even with Jimmy Page. So .. Blackmore haters .. don't listen to DPurple live, it's a great cover band playing Ritchie's songs. 🌈🌈🎸🎸🌈🌈🎸🎸💜💜 " they found stability with Morse " but they didn't create good songs, nobody cares about that " new era " Burn is a Masterpiece by Blackmore Coverdale Lord and Paice .. fortunately Gillan wasn't there 😂
With Ritchie the difference between the other two other Purple members was that with their interractions Gillan was an antagonist whereas JON LORD was a PEACEMAKER. (Paul)
if you had even a small band,then you can understand of the tension inside.Ritchie was the only smart one who could create songs,if you are not agree name a top song after he left.then you can understand why he wanted to control them,as musician they are really good.but song creation is the difference between god and Angels.he did 3 major line up deep purple,Rainbow and now ritchieblackmore's night,and you see still he is creating new material.endless.
A man I knew to be a Ritchie Blackmore fan went to see him with his then-new band over 30 years ago. As the opening act were beginning the final song of their set, Ritchie strolled onto the stage as if no one else were there. He proceeded to plug in his guitar, noodling on it just to warm up, drowning out the opening band. Then he stopped and looked at them, like, "Well, whenever you guys are done..." When the rest of Ritchie's band took the stage with him, his arrogance between songs continued. The man telling us this told us as the show went on, he, in turn, began cursing Ritchie out between songs. "THIS US HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE? I IDOLIZED YOU FOR ALL THESE YEARS! I BOUGHT EVERY RECORD YOU PLAYED ON! YOU CAN GO TO HELL!" It's one thing to be a perfectionist. It's another just to be a jerk. People who complain about working with Ritchie Blackmore are complaining about the latter.
Eddie van Halen in the stock scenes...😅 Back to topic: As the 2 protagonists grew older, their beef calmed down - They are now like old divorced spouses who respect each other.
Just because someone or people don't like you, doesn't mean that you are a bad person. In my case it's because I'm very good looking and extremely intelligent and talented. I have a very deep baritone voice and a very quick sense of humour. I'm a great singer/dancer and brilliant Drummer. It's all very natural and innate. That's not my fault, it's what was handed to me from birth in my genes and DNA.
@@Ace8Three I think of Richie would have been more able to work with the people in the band they would have made more great albums I think deep purple could have done a lot better
Without a singer and someone who also writes fantastic as Ian did and still does DP would be nothing special. Jon was great but didn't write many Purple songs and as for Blackmore he is just a moody guitar player.
DEEP PURPLE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST PUT TOGETHER UNFORTUNATELY WITH NOT ONE LEADER THEY ALL WERE LEADERS FRONTMEN AND GIFTED SONG WRITERS AND ARIST ❤ THE BEST OF THE BEST
I don’t know if anybody has noticed , but most band members spend their retirement years suing each other over everything and anything . I have been in a lot garage bands and I have no use for anyone I ever played with and haven’t spoken to any of them
I can't stand Ritchie Blackmore! I saw Deep Purple live in 1987. They were great. But Ritchie Blackmore did a crappy solo slot and then refused to come on for an oncore; leaving Gillan, Lord, Paice and Glover to come back on and perform Smoke On The Water without a guitar player. WHAT A JERK!!!
There are many parallels between Ritchie / Deep Purple and Roger Waters and Pink Floyd! That said! Respect to the informed commentators who has called this video out for being poor and riddled with errors
The mark 2 version of Deep Purple had a lot of potential. There were a few aspects of their music that needed some work, but the potential was there. Blackmore never had stable relationships with front men, and despite his great talent, he was never able to reach superstardom.
Blackmore Coverdale and Hughes are now good friends. I just wish they would get together one last time and show the current Purple how it’s really done.
Gillin was good for the songs but Blackmore may of more of driving creativity but it worked well as it came together and then you know call to egotistical once way or the other sometimes as well as it should or shouldn't but not everybody is a creative Force some people just know how to really help it along but with that said not too many people create it that same kind of buzz that Gillin did but it was Blackboard apparently wanted to get back together and Gillian didn't because it started it's just too much of a via bad Buzz all the way around you know oh well that's that's how she goes🖤🖤🖤💣💣💣💓💓💓😎😎😎
5:38 Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth, well known Deep Purple members, I suppose 5:48 Picture with Tommy Bolin (who isn't even mentioned) 7:39 "Pursuing FOLK inspired rock with Rainbow" OMG! The "guy" or thing who made this obviously has not listened to Rainbow in his life, probably read something about Blackmore's Night on Wikipedia and got himself into a mess. Definitely this is a video made with AU (Artificial Unintelligence) or HS (Human Stupidity)
Ritchie is just not a happy person. I can see why he hated Eddie Van Halen. Here’s this Ritchie guy playing guitar and not moving much on stage with his “ heavy metal band”and here comes this guy from Pasadena who runs circles around any guitar player out there, so yeah! …….. he should of just been nice to everyone. You’re doing what you Love. Geez!
Tommy Bolin's demise and eventual death through drug abuse was a sad turning point for Purple..in my opinion.His jazz/fusion style and Lords love of Classical music could have fused a superb sound.Yes Blackmore was good, but too controlling in his approach.Come Taste the Band👍
When Blackmore left the 2nd time I kinda lost interest I Purple i don't mind some of the latter albums but I think it's time for Deep Purple to call it a day
Not at all I saw them in birmingham last week fantastic. New album is the best since perfect strangers Simon McBride for me is the best guitarist purple have ever had. 6 songs from new album in show first time that's happened. Carry on I say. I love 'em.
I wouldn't like Ritchie either. He's way to much of a control freak. He said in a interview that he told Graham Bonnet to NOT cut his hair because their followers wanted a tough image,long hair rough guy appearance. BLACKMORE went as far as to have someone room next to Bonnets room and watch his every move so Bonnet climbed out a window in the back of his room and took a cab to a Barbershop and got his hair cut short.shortly afterwards Bonnet was out of Rainbow. Bonnet later said I didn't know I had two mothers,lol.
Blackmore's "Exacting approach"? You mean like not getting drunk and CONSTANTLY forgetting the lyrics? And Glover was let go when Gillan left. He talks about it many times. The reunion was Gillan drinking again in excess, forgetting lyrics, not showing up for rehearsal. And let's not forget one of the final straws. Gillan poured Ketchup all over a plate of spaghetti, which he thought was for Ritchie. But it was for one of Ritchies' guests. How insulting and disrespectful.
The fact that when Blackmore left, he continued successful music career, and Gillan solo was a failure, shows who was right and who was wrong when it comes to creativity. Gillian left Purple on his own, and then instigated reunion because failed solo. Gillian's voice in prime time was something out of this world, but when it comes to creativity and in which direction band should go, Blackmore was right
From the first time i heard them I believed it was Jon Lord who kept their music together. Blackmore and Gillan gave it the wide scope but Lord gave it the core.

Exactly! They were doing great and they outsold other big bands you would think Blackmore would be elated but he was a controlling prick instead!

But it was Gillan who decided to leave initially in 1973
And Glover did not decide to leave in 73…

So why I know about music I don't know about technology with phones are computers for that matter. Anyway thanks I can't tell the Flames from the dog doo doo that's why I asked LOL

TWO LEGENDS OF ROCK FOREVER ❤❤❤
With Blackmore ,and I Know a lot of people will agree with me ,is the best Guitarist ever . I would put him above Hendrix.I have seen hundreds of Rock and Metal Bands over the years and there's so many Brilliant Guitarist in the world, but if I had to pick one it would be him 2 Brian May ,Tony Iommi Angus Young
I really. Think in the long run. It´s unhealthy to listen. To roboters.
Blackmore didnt like being upstaged.Thats why he didnt get on with vocalists .He did the same with Ronnie james Dio . Saw Rainbow in 1980 and they were nothing special
He was never upstaged, so that is nonsense. I saw Rainbow on the Rainbow Rising tour, they were very special, even the Zeppelin fan that came with us was blown away
I saw them in 1979 with Bonnet and Cozy Powell,I thought they were fantastic.
Blackmore admired Dio until Dio pissed him off one day when he gave Blackmore crap about one of the magazines having only Blackmore on the picture and not the entire band. Blackmore had nothing to do with that as the magazine publishers wanted only Blackmore's picture, and he didn't think of it much until Ronnie got in his face about it. Blackmore said he lost respect for Ronnie after that, and they never saw eye to eye with each other again. Then it was only a matter of time before Ronnie would be sacked from the band for whatever reason. And the reason came along when Ronnie flatly rejected Blackmore's request to write more commercial-oriented songs. But that sort of conversation would've probably never happened between the two of them, hadn't it been for their strained relationship. And I actually admire Blackmore's patience.
@Sevastopol91 Ritchie is a Dictator plain and simple, pure Garbage of a human being.
@@Sevastopol91 It was "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, not Ritchie and Ronnie's Rainbow, people went to see Blackmore mainly.
There's a clip somewhere on UA-cam which shows the arrogance of Dio (I loved his time in Rainbow so not pissing on him at all) that showed he had a temper and sacked people for reasons that seem childish. If I find it I'll post the link
Blackmore had a arrogant and selfish attitude within himself.
Was a 'User'. Owned the rights to the 'Rainbow' name. He was in control - any reason he would replace you. HIS BAND.
The narration starts with a handful of facts a uses up 10 minutes repeating them over and over, using slightly different words.
What do Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, Joe Lyn Turner, Graham Bonnet have in common? The answer is Ritchie Blackmore who found/wanted them as singers in his band.
Ritchie didn't find Dio. Roger and Ian Paice produced albums for Dio's former band Elf and invited them to tour with Deep Purple. Thats when Ritchie became aware of Dio.
Blackmore has always thought he was better than he really is....
And I've heard him say the opposite. Saying that if guitarists studied their trade as diligently as your average violinist, that he would have been nothing but an average guitarist.
Being a perfectionist is one thing, but telling your lead vocalist how to cut his hair is another thing. That's going way to far in my opinion. I'm glad Bonnet got his haircut anyways defying Blackmore. Ritchie is just what I wouldn't want, having another mother with you out on the road.
Roger did not choose to leave DP when Ian Gillan left. Roger was pushed out (largely by Blackmore).
Steve Morse is a much better guitar player.
Soap opera crap ;)
Australia. The best band ever. To many good band members lead to the break down.
This is the best RR band ever ,better than Zep ,they are survivor's, warriors ,who take no shit from anyone and Ian Paiste should go down and 1of the top 5 best RR drummers ever to grace this planet
Blackmore is Deep Purple, together with Lord and Paice.
Gillan did a great job, same as David Coverdale.
I hate people who say they hate Blackmore, if you hate RITCHIE then don't go to the shows 'cause 90% of the gig is BLACKMORE's music
Gillan did a great job but without Blackmore's he's not so good, check DP from 1994 onwards, check his solo stuff .. nothing special.
On the other hand Coverdale was EXCELLENT with DP or with WSnake and even with Jimmy Page.
So .. Blackmore haters .. don't listen to DPurple live, it's a great cover band playing Ritchie's songs. 🌈🌈🎸🎸🌈🌈🎸🎸💜💜 " they found stability with Morse " but they didn't create good songs, nobody cares about that " new era "
Burn is a Masterpiece by Blackmore Coverdale Lord and Paice .. fortunately Gillan wasn't there 😂
Still are 👍
With Ritchie the difference between the other two other Purple members was that with their interractions Gillan was an antagonist whereas JON LORD was a PEACEMAKER. (Paul)
I met Jon lord and he was an easy going guy. But he was no fool musically
if you had even a small band,then you can understand of the tension inside.Ritchie was the only smart one who could create songs,if you are not agree name a top song after he left.then you can understand why he wanted to control them,as musician they are really good.but song creation is the difference between god and Angels.he did 3 major line up deep purple,Rainbow and now ritchieblackmore's night,and you see still he is creating new material.endless.
A man I knew to be a Ritchie Blackmore fan went to see him with his then-new band over 30 years ago. As the opening act were beginning the final song of their set, Ritchie strolled onto the stage as if no one else were there. He proceeded to plug in his guitar, noodling on it just to warm up, drowning out the opening band. Then he stopped and looked at them, like, "Well, whenever you guys are done..." When the rest of Ritchie's band took the stage with him, his arrogance between songs continued. The man telling us this told us as the show went on, he, in turn, began cursing Ritchie out between songs. "THIS US HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE? I IDOLIZED YOU FOR ALL THESE YEARS! I BOUGHT EVERY RECORD YOU PLAYED ON! YOU CAN GO TO HELL!" It's one thing to be a perfectionist. It's another just to be a jerk. People who complain about working with Ritchie Blackmore are complaining about the latter.
That’s a crazy story. I can’t imagine what that opening band were thinking.
I've always heard for years that Blackmore, while very talented is an a-hole and does not need to be as arrogant as he is.
@@davidclaycomb5496 Nothing, the story is just that, a story
If you could ask the members of Gillan some would say that they didn’t care for Ian.
Eddie van Halen in the stock scenes...😅
Back to topic: As the 2 protagonists grew older, their beef calmed down - They are now like old divorced spouses who respect each other.
Just because someone or people don't like you, doesn't mean that you are a bad person.
In my case it's because I'm very good looking and extremely intelligent and talented.
I have a very deep baritone voice and a very quick sense of humour.
I'm a great singer/dancer and brilliant Drummer.
It's all very natural and innate.
That's not my fault, it's what was handed to me from birth in my genes and DNA.
It says in 1984 the reformed, but showed footage from the mid seventies.
Gillan is just one singer of Deep Purple. It is Blackmore and Lord which made the sound of Deep Purple.
@@Ace8Three and the drummer also Ian paice was a big part of deep purple
@@Ace8Three I think of Richie would have been more able to work with the people in the band they would have made more great albums I think deep purple could have done a lot better
Without a singer and someone who also writes fantastic as Ian did and still does DP would be nothing special. Jon was great but didn't write many Purple songs and as for Blackmore he is just a moody guitar player.
@@mikekeeler6362 Absolutely true. One cannot imagine DP with some other drummer and now he's the only one left from the very first band.
@@mikekeeler6362 Absolutely! he is also the only one founding father of the band left.
Not 1 word spoken in the whole interview came from either Gillian's or Blackmore's mouths. So it's all hearsay and gossiping.
First i love Deep Purple,wich Song are great without Blackmore ? 0
'Come Taste The Band' is a very good album. Can't stand narrow - mindedness. Oh well.
This is all too bad, because Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Was - back awhile ago
@@philipdecatanzaro1822 We all get older
Lots of repetitive dialogue ...
Who didn't like that "Mark Eye-Eye" line-up?
DEEP PURPLE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST PUT TOGETHER UNFORTUNATELY WITH NOT ONE LEADER THEY ALL WERE LEADERS FRONTMEN AND GIFTED SONG WRITERS AND ARIST ❤ THE BEST OF THE BEST
I don’t know if anybody has noticed , but most band members spend their retirement years suing each other over everything and anything . I have been in a lot garage bands and I have no use for anyone I ever played with and haven’t spoken to any of them
Ritchie is the king of hard rock...
Some say there has to be musical tension between the lead guitarist and lead vocalist in rock. One supposes a little off-stage tension ….
Ian and Roger Daltrey, the two best vocalists in Rick!
Don´t forget Ronnie James Dio and Robert Plant.
@@larsnilsson3438and paul rodgers.
@@DougMen1 Daltrey isn't even the best singer in the Who.
In Rick who?
I can't stand Ritchie Blackmore! I saw Deep Purple live in 1987. They were great. But Ritchie Blackmore did a crappy solo slot and then refused to come on for an oncore; leaving Gillan, Lord, Paice and Glover to come back on and perform Smoke On The Water without a guitar player. WHAT A JERK!!!
There are many parallels between Ritchie / Deep Purple and Roger Waters and Pink Floyd! That said! Respect to the informed commentators who has called this video out for being poor and riddled with errors
The mark 2 version of Deep Purple had a lot of potential. There were a few aspects of their music that needed some work, but the potential was there. Blackmore never had stable relationships with front men, and despite his great talent, he was never able to reach superstardom.
"Purple had potential."
"There were a few aspects of their music that needed some work."
Are you actually being serious?
@colinogara9122 Yes ... I think purple could have been bigger.
If you want to know. Go ask Blackmore himself....simple
Blackmore Coverdale and Hughes are now good friends. I just wish they would get together one last time and show the current Purple how it’s really done.
Gillin was good for the songs but Blackmore may of more of driving creativity but it worked well as it came together and then you know call to egotistical once way or the other sometimes as well as it should or shouldn't but not everybody is a creative Force some people just know how to really help it along but with that said not too many people create it that same kind of buzz that Gillin did but it was Blackboard apparently wanted to get back together and Gillian didn't because it started it's just too much of a via bad Buzz all the way around you know oh well that's that's how she goes🖤🖤🖤💣💣💣💓💓💓😎😎😎
Ian Gillan sang smoke on the water if he hadn't we may have never heard of Blackmore.
What a load of crap. Deep Purple/Blackmore had 2 top albums before Machine Head/Smoke On The Water. And hit singles too.
5:38 Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth, well known Deep Purple members, I suppose
5:48 Picture with Tommy Bolin (who isn't even mentioned)
7:39 "Pursuing FOLK inspired rock with Rainbow" OMG! The "guy" or thing who made this obviously has not listened to Rainbow in his life, probably read something about Blackmore's Night on Wikipedia and got himself into a mess.
Definitely this is a video made with AU (Artificial Unintelligence) or HS (Human Stupidity)
Ritchie is just not a happy person. I can see why he hated Eddie Van Halen. Here’s this Ritchie guy playing guitar and not moving much on stage with his “ heavy metal band”and here comes this guy from Pasadena who runs circles around any guitar player out there, so yeah! …….. he should of just been nice to everyone. You’re doing what you Love. Geez!
Blackmore was hard to get along with.
Brooding Soundscape?
Tommy Bolin's demise and eventual death through drug abuse was a sad turning point for Purple..in my opinion.His jazz/fusion style and Lords love of Classical music could have fused a superb sound.Yes Blackmore was good, but too controlling in his approach.Come Taste the Band👍
Bolin and Morse were team players in DP
Blackmore was all about himself
Come Taste the Band - a great and highly underrated album.
😅 endlich habe ich eine Mal lächelnden Richie gesehen 😂😂😂
How many bands are like this?? to many to count
Now Ritchie has a wife, who most like likely keeps him in control. The end product, music, is good.
When Blackmore left the 2nd time I kinda lost interest I Purple i don't mind some of the latter albums but I think it's time for Deep Purple to call it a day
Not at all I saw them in birmingham last week fantastic. New album is the best since perfect strangers Simon McBride for me is the best guitarist purple have ever had. 6 songs from new album in show first time that's happened. Carry on I say. I love 'em.
You must have a ying & yang to succeed that's why they stayed at the top for so long 😮
I wouldn't like Ritchie either. He's way to much of a control freak. He said in a interview that he told Graham Bonnet to NOT cut his hair because their followers wanted a tough image,long hair rough guy appearance. BLACKMORE went as far as to have someone room next to Bonnets room and watch his every move so Bonnet climbed out a window in the back of his room and took a cab to a Barbershop and got his hair cut short.shortly afterwards Bonnet was out of Rainbow. Bonnet later said I didn't know I had two mothers,lol.
Blackmore's "Exacting approach"? You mean like not getting drunk and CONSTANTLY forgetting the lyrics? And Glover was let go when Gillan left. He talks about it many times. The reunion was Gillan drinking again in excess, forgetting lyrics, not showing up for rehearsal. And let's not forget one of the final straws. Gillan poured Ketchup all over a plate of spaghetti, which he thought was for Ritchie. But it was for one of Ritchies' guests. How insulting and disrespectful.
Steve Morse was light-years ahead of Blackmore... light-years
Funniest quote I’ve ever read on the internet. Thank you I needed a good laugh 😂
So, why can't rockers stand Ritchie Blackmore?
The fact that when Blackmore left, he continued successful music career, and Gillan solo was a failure, shows who was right and who was wrong when it comes to creativity. Gillian left Purple on his own, and then instigated reunion because failed solo. Gillian's voice in prime time was something out of this world, but when it comes to creativity and in which direction band should go, Blackmore was right
UuuHhemmmm.... ritchie blackmoore "has been" a J O for no less than 4 decades, and has been wearing wigs as long as Tina Turner did...
