I'm pleased to hear that Mr. Blackmore remembers Black Sabbath's influential single "Whatever That Song Was." It's a personal favorite of mine.

Ian Paice, is indeed one hell of a drummer.

[Strato]

He plays the guitar as effortlessly and as naturally and easy as I sip coffee from a cup...
It's truly amazing..
Blackmore..

I love Ritchie interviews. I can listen to him all day

[KSA-wrer]

This short demonstration of how he plays the intro of Black Night and the smooth changing to Hendrix´s riff of Hey Joe shows how versatile Blackmore is as a guitar player.

Guy is a MASTER on a guitar! I can hear it in his hands and he is an intelligent guy as well. His candor in his interviews makes him a great listen.

[jimking]

My 2 influences as a young guitarist were the "Men in Black" !! Thank you Mr Blackmore and Mr Iommi !!!

Deep Purple in Rock is in the top 10 of all the best albums ever made. Here in the Netherlands it is in every living room.

Ritchie is so tight and clean he makes it look easy. His solo in Strange Kind of Woman is a personal favorite of mine.

[ffrancrogowski]

I like Fireball, but 'In Rock' is my favorite one of all the band's albums. Ritchie is one of the best guitarists, and Blackmore's Night are truly superb!

[harrimersalo]

Ritchie is my absolute favorite guitarist.

[sirlordsoul]

1:49 LOL -- his sarcasm here is hilarious.

[stege]

Very few musicians can be called masters. Ritchie Blackmore is one of them though.

Ritchie, I remember you and the boys moving into #13 second avenue, acton, 1969 (I think). I lived at #24. Purple van and all, You guys were a sight to see. Keep rocking buddy.

[ministerodelrock]

He is not only the guitar master of all times. Ritchie is old school British humour in person. Most people simply dont get it.

[sc_w_x]

He has light confident energy and great vibe. I feel happy to listen to him. Too unusual extraordinary person. Full respect.

Class. Beautiful sound of the amped guitar in that space.

Born in 1963, Ritchie Blackmore was one of the guitarists who influenced me the most - Deep Purple Mark III was already history when I started listening to rock music, but the albums were still in the record stores and "Made in Japan" was a big hit - I then actively followed Rainbow and "On Stage" is in my opinion one of the best records of all time - thank you for all the wonderful music! //

[michaelthornburg]

Machine Head, Made in Japan, and Burn are just classics from Blackmore and Purple. It just doesnt get any better than those albums.

The best thing that ever happened to Richie was the band Deep Purple.The entire band were awesome. Ian Gillan was a singing God at this time. He should feel blessed to be with these 3 musicians that crossed his path at the time. Jon Lord was Deep Purple!
