No I believe Ritchie was sincere about his meeting with Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan is a legend. Jimi Hendrix was a huge fan of Bob Dylan. He met him twice. Jimi's cover of Bob Dylan's song ‘All Along The Watchtower’ is brilliant. And so Ritchie Blackmore was a huge fan of Bob Dylan's as well.
@@karsguitarchannel6088 It's not a matter of whether or not Ritchie admired Dylan, it's about the way Ritchie originally tells the story. "Bob Dylan came up to me once and said, "Hey. Who the hell are you?" It's a joke. It's Ritchie's self-deprecating way of saying that Dylan wouldn't have a clue who Ritchie was. He was being ironic. A few lines later where he starts going on about 'looking out the window,' he has to stop himself from laughing. The proper context for that story is amongst the other times Ritchie was known to be trolling in interviews. ua-cam.com/video/qwu12U5SNKw/v-deo.html 1:19
@@wahwahwells Well I'm sure in the late 60's, when Ritchie was young and Bob Dylan was a big hero, and when Dylan asked him, "Hey, who the hell are you?", that wasn't very funny and Ritchie didn't laugh. He just walked away. Maybe now, when he recalls their meeting, it's funny. I think he was really hurt back then because Ritchie is also known as a very sensitive person. I don't think Ritchie trolled the interviewer or something. He wanted to share the story about meeting Bob Dylan.
Dylan was not a heavy drug user during the late 60s. In the mid-60s, he was heavily using amphetamines, but once he became a father he wanted off of that, so after he fell off his motorcycle in Spring of '66 he took eight years off of touring. He used the time away to get clean. He even stopped smoking, and you can hear the effect in his 1969 album Nashville Skyline.
Before Eddie Van Halen came out with 'Eruption' in 1978, Ritchie was the best rock guitarist on the scene. Ritchie's solo to 'Highway Star' was brilliant!
Dylan writing is just marvelous. Say what you want. And Ritchie is a heavy introvert. My ex girlfriend was one as well. Brock Lessnar is the same i heard. They're fine one on one but they rather be with themselves than deal with people. I experienced it multiple times with my ex. ✌️

Ritchie treats everyone like shit, especially his fans. I wonder if this played into this attutude of his. Like, he thought Dylan was cool for not giving a shit about him. He likes portraying the "mysterious" artist
Oh! Ignored him, not blew him... gotcha! 😂😉
Awesome story, love it! Thanks Kar
Many thanks, great pleasure !!!
Sounds more like Ritchie blew Dylan off
He did not to be pushed around. Could care less.
Richie is an arrogant person!
@@lizzielorman2158 He seems to like that perception of himself
I think this is trying too hard to explain something that was just another case of Ritchie messing around with an interviewer.

Kar does a lot of work and research. I learn something new every story Kar does.
Hi Shawn, thank you!

Excellent !! Rock On Kar ..🤘🏻✌️
Many thanks Scott 😊!!! Rock on ✌!
Falling down the rabbit hole... I love rock history
That title made me think this story was going to go off on a way, waaaayyyy, different direction.
Another hell of a good story!
Bob Dylan praised the Rainbow song Stargazer in his book about songwriting. True story.
Well,when he is sober,he could give a credit to good music
Ritchie Blackmore was top 3 guitarist in the world in his day.
Before Eddie Van Halen came out with 'Eruption' in 1978, Ritchie was the best rock guitarist on the scene. Ritchie's solo to 'Highway Star' was brilliant!
@@karsguitarchannel6088 Ritchie Blackmore invented neoclassical guitar music.
@karsguitarchannel6088 yup, but both are top 4 in the world 🌎
Dylan writing is just marvelous. Say what you want.

Brock Lessnar is the same i heard.

Easily the most pointless tale ever told. ... am I right?
No
Its interesting to hear stories about our heros. Its nice to hear this from all the greats. Your opinion I respect that.

Game recognize game!
Richie is like a wind...Dylan..Blewin in the wind..
Ritchie has an attitude. He pulled that shit on Van Halen who said WTH?
Yet Dylan wrote a frikken song with...Gene Simmons???!!!???!!!???
and... michael bolton. did them a favor.
Dylan praised Stargazer in his book about songwriting.
I'm gonna say it. Dylan is way overrated. I don't see the appeal.
In the 60's Dylan was a great artist. Hendrix loved him and so Blackmore as well
Yeah but from how Ritchie treated people who looked up to him I think it’s fair enough 🤣
@@sinnerboy6009they each got a taste of their own medicine.
Wrong. He is a genius. Deep Purple fans won't get it.
@@CelestialWoodway where's Dyllan now?? In his house,smoking drugs.where's DP now?? On tour,promoting their new album.
