Never piss off Ritchie Blackmore!!!
Hats off to Ritchie, i didn't realise all this happened! Always thought it was a stressing gig! ( summer jam '74)
top fella for doing that, as he said he had stressed enough that they were to play at dusk which was 9 and they tried pushing them on at 6.30 so hats off to blackmore. sometimes you just gotta stick it to the man and do something outrageous Haha top bloke, love blackmore and his style and love his guitar playing. 👍🤝
A deal is a deal so Richie did the right thing IMO...Never let anyone fuck you over!
He also wanted all the yellow m and ms removed from his hog trough
He had an opportunity to play to a huge crowd and bellyached over a 20 cent lighting opportunity to assert power, is all I see. Who does he play to now? I hope ELP flattened them.
And umm.. the cameraman going temporary deaf part? Blackmore is overrated anyday. Glad they got rid of him and made sure he stayed away during hall of fame. Morse is the better guitarist, the better guy. Even satriani is worth more than this chap.
@@crusaderofunderdogs8005 smetti di bere, che dai allucinazioni,sei nel delirio !!!!!!!!!!!!
The best part of this interview is that RB has more hair than he did in 1974.............
Ritchie was a fireball back in those days…literally!
Best Rock and roll story ever. Interesting to hear the inside track on it.
Ritchie’s memory must have been wiped by that explosion! He definitely did NOT set his guitar on fire and throw it at the amps! The footage is there for everyone to see.
Lots of money sex and drugs can change a persons perspective on a matter years later.
It DID happen. Plenty of video of it here on UA-cam.
@@frozendivots1564 I've watched that video a million fucking times, and from different angles! HE DID NOT SET THE AMPS ON FIRE BY THROWING A BURNING GUITAR INTO THEM!! The roadies set the amps on fire. What the FUCK are you seeing?!!!
I think you’re right. It was a standard stage blowout
Cut him some slack, it was like 50 years ago lol
Great storytelling
Salute to Ritchie Blackmore!
they dont have to wonder, why r.b. reacted like this. he defined the conditions and they accepted. its their fault, if they changed the plan just like this. hats off to ritchies honesty and being consequent. you see: theirs always two sides of the medal. i believe him
I love R.B. because he is a very honest, straight forward and deep man. Probably misunderstood attitude-wise by many, because he has a serious outlook towards life. I feel him a lot because I do think that deep inside, he is an Existentialist. Like the great German thinkers such as: Schopenhauer and Heidegger, often their way to feel reality and their outlook towards the world, was often misunderstood by the establishment.
God Bless you Mr. Blackmore.
Ermz :-)
MAD MAN!
Man, those days were the best in history! Them rockers really were gods for a while.
Wasn’t staged to be that affective but boy did it go off with a BANG ! How many vintage strats ?? 😮
They weren’t vintage strats back then.
no vintage strat at that point. ANd he only ruined ONE guitar that night most likely a factory reject he had been given by Fender.
i am always facinatate by the english accent, even if you do stupid things and tell the story, it sounds right in a way:))
Good lad Ritchie!!!!
LoL, love BLACKMORE!!!
while on stage, that the reason why He kept asking , "is the sun going down". every one kept saying that Deep Purple was going to play, Smoke On the Water at sun set, he kept asking, Is the sun gone down yet.
"The whole thing was to upstage E.L.P, which we did".
No shit. They couldn't top that.
@Blake Q I wouldn't know. I would have been -12 at the time.
@Blake Q I just figured Ritchie was right, because I only knew of them being the only group blowing up amps (thankfully they were dummies), blowing a hole in the stage, deafening someone back stage, wrecking three guitars, nearly killing Ian Paice, plus getting arrested. Then again, I wasn't a thought in those days.
@@KRS2000 lol!!
Who the hell is ELP? HA
@@josephfrank1472 Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
I don't know anything about them, except for the fact the drummer Carl Palmer invented the earliest electronic drum kits.
He also axed the camera using his guitar.
Iv'e seen the jam and it was nothing like he said apart from the amps firing up ! LOL
Not sure if DP upstaged ELP but I'm sure for those who attended and were close enough to the stage, Blackmore gave the fans something to remember.
Smashed Strat vs revolving grand piano? I dont think so.
Yep two strats and two dummy amps. I will take those over guitar picks any dayc
@@tonkaranger1091 he only smashed/ruined ONE strat. The other one was transported off stage and he played that for another year at least.
poor little ritchie...show me where it hurts..
He never did get unleaded....
would you go on stage unprepared THREE HOURS TOO EARLY, accepting violations of a signed contract? I know, I wouldn't at least not without protest.
I guess Ritchie never saw the episode of The Smothers Brothers show where The Who did the very same thing? Pete Townshend destroyed his guitar and amps, and Keith Moon blew up his drum kit, all on national television.
If Ritchie really wanted to stick to his guns, he should've never agreed to do the gig and told the promoter to f.o.
Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow.
Search this phrase to read comments from the ABC cameraman: (ABC Cameraman Dave Hilmer engaged in an EXTREME close-up with Ritchie Blackmore.)
Rock and roll!!
@ the Marshall amps:
Rest In Pieces 😉
Dummy Amps
those were empty amps just for looking good and massive.
It was another time, maybe now that would be terrible. production companies are used to trampling on artists. I've read somewhere that ELP had to play at that time but didn't arrive on time. That's why they insisted that I play DEEP purple. Blackmore made it very clear that they were going to play late at night. That treatment was respected and Blackmore set the stage on fire so that ELP was left out. A great anecdote, and you have to have the courage to do such a thing. I don't know why it is judged that it could have been a tragedy etc.. was it???
hahahahhahahahahahhah it was fuckin great Ritchie
Why he say that he set fire the guitar and then he thrower it in to the amplifiers when he nevet did that in the video of that show, he just came to the rodie and he say something like "now do it) and then he came back to the guitar and then the amplifiers explode :/
Probably he confuses it with something else? Unlike people I doubt he watched that thing more than 1 time lol... So he explains most from memory and gets mixed up with other concerts.
I think it is a matter of time and distance. What you say is true, but I have trouble remembering details 100% from the 1980s when I went to high school and college, so these minor issues don't bother me os much.
@@mejsmith1 yeah it must be that
Looked like it was all planned. Before the amps catch on fire and blow up you can see 2 guys already there ready to go with fire extinguishers.
he admitted it was all planned. what the hell did you just watch
yes, did you listen to him explain in the video? He says that he planned it.
Fucking legend!
Seems reasonable to me. I've heard so many stories of his ego, i wonder now if they were true.?
i hear bad things about ritchie, but the dude seems complete professional and wants what was agreed upon
Yes, risking the lives of innocent people was an appropriate response. He had no choice.
@@jim6070 oh shut the fuck up you old fuck. Everyone regarded this as the highlight and best part of the show no one’s life was under danger. Shuuut the fuck up go cling on something else to shit in other people’s good mood
Until he doesnt get his way, than explode into tantrum man.
Yes, they flew away...leaving their management to pay for the senseless damage Ritchie did.
Fantastic guy and a great story, if a bit misremembered....but upstage ELP??? Not a chance, sorry Richie
This video has 666 likes. Please let's keep it
When I first watched that deep purple Cali jam ting I thought it was Ritchie backed by the fellas from black sabbath! And all those lovely strats reduced to dust. Ach, what a waste!
he only ruined ONE strat which was a factory reject given by Fender with the purpose of destroying it on stage. He kept his main natural finish strat for at least another year.
The fact that he's proud of his behavior all those years later in this interview is pathetic. Throwing a guitar that has a broken/spear like neck into a crowd, the whole fire/explosion thing.. hitting a camera..etc. He literally laughs right after he says the camera guy went temporarily deaf because it looked great in this interview. It's like a child having a temper tantrum and throwing crayons around the room.... and he's proud of it.
A bit unfair to say that, if you saw the first part of the interview, I'd say that it's understandable why he reacted that way.
I think you need growing up mate. They did a hell of a show and rocked the stage even in press it was regarded as the highlight of the whole festival. So the thing about these comments you made it doesn’t concern the safety of anyone or you are not making it for the right reason, you see it is unbearable when a man cant hope to reach his goals in life but its also “pathetic” he wants to pull everyone else on his level. Guy did what he did looked great got away with it and did it for the right fucking reasons, so don’t sit there pretending to care for other people’s safety you loser 😂 Cant enjoy it? Let others enjoy it crybaby
I hate destroyed equipment. Those brands donated them to endorsers. It's disrespectful to the workers, fans and those companies.
Sure you can disagree with Ritchie's behavior, as many people disagree with other musicians too. But it's always easy to point your finger at an idol and say he should do better. How many managers do nasty stuff until this very day, getting musicians into drugs, greedy for money, controlling the image of a famous person, pressing even more money... Ritchie doesn't have a clean image for sure. But nobody ever talks about the 'manager-mafia' in the industry. And that's disgusting.
@@DrJ-hx7wv the strat he destroyed was a factory reject that was given him to destory on stage and the amps were not functional and there to look good only. Maybe in 2023 it seems stupid but back then it sure was great commercial for the brands.
Its is 14 November 2021. A week or so ago a festival in Texas of a mere 50,000 people went nuts with sever wounded and eight dead including a ten year old boy. Cal Jam had 300,000 to 400,000 people. Everyone was couth. If there was a hassle we took care of it without any threats or violence. A log ass day NEVER to be forgotten. The crowd made up of misfit toys.
Now in Texas theyre trying to blame any and all except one key ingredient. The crowd. A bunch of spoiled children that have zero clue how to act or be in this sort of situation....I'll leave it to others to fill in the blanks...semper fi
Because of spoiled brats who never got corrected for anything they did wrong look at society now it is because of parents not being a parents.
This is why I have more respect for ELP. They gave a far better performance even after the mess that deep purple left. I mean just look at Greg Lake's performance that night when he sang "still turn me on" just sitting on a chair, playing his 12 string acoustic guitar singing like a god while chewing gum...... I don't think David coverdale or Glenn Hughes could even come close to Greg Lake's performance. Also may I add Keith Emerson's revolving piano and Carl Palmer's revolving drum stage. Carl palmer gave such an awesome performance that night, way better than Ian Paice. Jon lord was the only one who held it all together. I respectfully disagree with Blackmore that they upstaged ELP.
What do you know? Better than Paice. Who?
IMO, the last line in this video is the only thing you need to know about this incident. Sounds like the rest is just an excuse. You wanna impress me? Do it musically, not with stupid stage antics. He's lucky no one was seriously hurt (or died). That would've been the end of his career.
Upstage ELP.....heh, that'll be the day.
Come on mark , ELP was top 40 pop.
@@frankcollins4325 Sorry Frank. I think you need to give ELP's discography a listen. They were a full on progressive rock band. Yes, they did have 2 or 3 hits but those were the exception. And in 1974 when this concert happened they were touring in support of their latest album Brain Salad Surgery. Epic prog tunes on that one. In years after this they did end up recording a fairly commercial (and not very good) album called Love Beach but at the time this all happened they were at their height as a prog band. And their set following Deep Purple was great. (So was Deep Purple by the way).
Have ya seen purples set? There’s plenty of great musical bits, they werent just a band that relied on gimmicks, those guys could actually play and jam/improvise very well
@@frankcollins4325 ELP pop? That's like calling Deep Purple a soft rock band. 😂😂😂
Meh they did fine musically but you didn’t come here to hear about music judging by the content. Go listen to it and be impressed because they kicked ass and ELP never came close to Purple in anything who the fuck is ELP 😂
Weird guy!
Yea there’s lots of professional musicains that are weird people
how is he weird? It all makes sense to me.
What a diva. Lol
how is he a diva?
What an absolute Drama queen! If you don't want to play a festival, sod off mate. Don't be a muppet.
he said it in the first video that he didn't want to. But then they signed a contract with certain conditions that he agreed on. Promoters broke the contract and tried to argue the band to accept the violated contract and go on stage THREE HOURS TOO EARLY. You go be a muppet.
Skitchy ...you think you could upstage Emerson Lake and Palmer lot's of drug eh Skitchie
Ritchie never did drugs.
ELP ???? You are on a metal channel not top 40 . ELP really?????
Purple became number one selling artist that year in 74 in US.. wtf is wrong with u
what's wrong with ELP? Have you heard them? And besides, Deep Purple ain't metal either.
Blackmore's not a terribly intelligent man, is he.
actually he is.
@@michaelkarlsson5966 If he were, he wouldn't brag about behaving like a three year old.
I hear him, I get it. But damn, talk about someone who completely forgot about how to enjoy the moment. No offense, you should feel lucky that people actually want to hear your music. If I hear Smoke on the Water one more time im going to rip out my ears. You have to find away to enjoy life, sorry it didnt go as planned but damn..... coming on stage all mad....just like a little baby didnt get his way...
Arson. Should be jailed.
Threatening thousands of lives.
Everything you do in commercial live shows is safety.
Sadly he didn’t blind himself or lose an arm.
Great show…… Tool. Next.
Dude do you really think what amounts to a bonfire is going to kill thousands of people. What a pussy
@@johnvalencia9927 have you seen the video? If there wasn’t help immediately it could have started a stampede leading to carnage.
Pretty childish behavior. Someone could have been hurt. He makes more money in one show than I make in a year. Great guitarist though
see this attitude is why real rock and roll is dead. Like bill hicks said, I want my rockstars to have a guitar in one hand and a gun in the other and say "hope you enjoyed the show" (proceeds to blow his head off haha)
