Lemmy On Ritchie Blackmore

[kcartesius]

Decadent garbage again... They are trash (white this time) except for (some of) the music.

[MrMatthiasSchneider]

What show is this from... sounds like the same people who did David Beckham's Soccer USA.

[CeeRoyJenkins]

Thumbs up if you just came from the Charles Martinet video and you thought the thumbnail was a real life Waluigi

[PeshwariNaan]

"No clothes or papers of any kind."

[innit27]

its funny how drug stories are now being utilised for corporate advertising

[maddingcrowd]

BLACKMORE is blackmore, but still the best about, page, clapton even vanhalen have gone stale, the man in black is too gifted and he needs other music to be challenged.

[shredmaster100]

knowing old blackers this is probably true shame it wasnt ian gillan he did it to instead but i think ritchies saving something special for him

[Saturnlead]

@shredmaster100 fuck him anyway.

[shredmaster100]

yeah blackmore is not a very nice person good guitarist but he fucked up a great rock band so he could go play some classical crap i actually bought a blackmores night dvd once never again

[Saturnlead]

@shredmaster100 no fuck you.Classical music is the best and who knows if this shit that this freaky mole face said is true.

[shredmaster100]

you honestly cant like blackmores night can u thats the reason i stopped listening to ritchies music dont u think some of his best work was with ronnie dio and rainbow if they hadnt broke up that would have been great

[Saturnlead]

@shredmaster100 Well I for one love the middle ages/medieval music because I have a fascination with my European roots and I think it's really cool.And that's the reason I think he is cool.

[McCartyrocks]

@shredmaster100 Um....no. All his work is great, and if you listen to Blackmore's Knight, he does some really cool guitar work. Honestly, his "best work" spans his entire career. Stargazer has an amazing solo, Burn has an amazing solo, Possum Goes to Prague is freaking amazing.

[McCartyrocks]

@shredmaster100 You're an idiot. HE fucked up a great rock band? And you know this how? Based on the evidence I see, Ian Gillian was pretty fucked up on stage much of the time. That can't have been easy to work with. I love Ian too, but there are too many dynamics at work here for you (as a bystander) to blame Ritchie.

[shredmaster100]

i have to admit deep purple without blackmore and lord in it today sucks and ians voice is nowhere near what it used to be also sad news i heard today about toni iommi being diagnosed with cancer hope he can pull through because he fucking rocks godfather of metal

[PurpleInTheDeep]

@shredmaster100 I almost couldn't believe you when I saw your comment, but after some searching, I found out that it is true. Can't believe this. Jon Lord is also suffering from cancer and now Toni Iommi??? This is a curse!

[shredmaster100]

yeah i know man it seems to happen to all the heavy metal stars i dont know why but lets hope that they can pull through i know in tonis case lymphoma is treatable because i have a friend whos had it for 15 years now though she does have to inject everyday to boost her immune system but lets hope toni is well enough to continue with the black sabbath tour it just seems a coincidence that this has happened just as they reformed

[neritan1969]

wanker..

[schwoissfuass]

The "victim" in this story is (was) Erik Thomsen, a legendary Danish promoter over 40 years (also known as E.T. because he looked a bit like E.T.) and Ritchie did some other practical jokes on him as Bob Daisley told in the DVD "Rainbow live in Munich 1977" ; unfortunately, he passed away in May 2006.

[scimnk]

If life gives you Lemmy, you make Lemmynade.

[ArpeggioBear]

american think that they are badass, but the real Rock n Roll Badass are the British People

[Trashfished]

@ArpeggioBear pretty much true.

[sukumvit]

@ArpeggioBear So true - let's not forget Heavy Metal is a British invention, not to mention Punk!

[5B4Funky]

There will be 2 things left on planet Earth after the final apocalypse wipes out every living organism and leaves this planet in dust.... cockroaches and Lemmy

[tmartin3]

is there any way to get verification of this story?

[spredthefunk]

i didnt know lemmy had joined the village people..

[bagzie]

I read that Lemmy claims he slept only once in 1981

[Saitamo1]

in the last 30 years i`ve met ritchie several times and he was ALWAYS extremely polite and a nice person to talk to - never ever refusing an autograph when asked for and even asking me to join playing football. he´s the greatest in my opinion!



[Saturnlead]

@Saitamo1 I've been telling the fools that unreasonably hate Ritchie and post mindless hate comments everywhere to learn whats going on before they go typing shit!!

[zodiacbluesbaby]

That is... thorough!

[xylaphonemaster]

I hear Richie asked Marshall to make him some one off 200 watt amp heads just so he could point them at the singer.

[matco24]

haha tht was wonderful...he musta really got pissed off to do tht

[austintxlivemusic]

I thought he was amazing. The city I grew up in didn't have a rock station worthy of an audience so I ran my antenna wire to the roof and picked up KLOL in Houston 90 miles away. I was only 13. They had a really cool DJ name Crash in the 70s. It was hit or miss on the reception, but that is when I 1st discovered real rock music. Deep Purple immediately went into my record collection which eventually encircled all four walls in my bedroom stacked two rows high. The good ole days. Rock on.

[SoupyGeorge]

@austintxlivemusic Nice story! This should be thumbbed up and get top comment, not the usual bullshit about what happened to the dislikers...

[Melsted]

@Saturnlead Who put sand in your vagina??



[QueenReigns1]

Yes and the keyboard player was Tony Carey.

[QueenReigns1]

We all know what a fucking mickey is you patronising twat!

[danielhall65]

lemmy's had a few  "mickey's", too.

[donottawaguitar]

nice gear behind him

[DarthRandall]

Ritchie Blackmore is a cold-blooded but hilarious practical joker. This reminds me of the story behind the Rainbow song L.A. Connection.  This one guy (can't remember his name) was hired to replace Jimmy Bain on bass, but apparently, he was a real prima donna always complaining and moaning about everything. Not long after, they were on a European tour when Ritchie and Ronnie had enough of it and sacked him. He booked the first flight back to L.A., but Ritchie put a little Mary Jane in his ...

[DarthRandall]

@DarthRandall ...bags. Then Ritchie left an anonymous tip with airport security that he was trying smuggle drugs into the U.S. Security did what they do, and needless to say he missed his flight. Then they wrote a song about it.

[go49ers1]

@DarthRandall It was actuall Tony Carey, the keyboard player.  He never got to tour because he quit during the Long Live Rock 'n Roll sessions in France. Basically Ritchie(and sometimes Cozy)would scare the hell out of him in the castle that they were recording in. Ritchie held seances and would try to contact the ghost of Chopin(who is supposed to haunt that castle). After one final scare he called his father and told him to get him a ticket back to L.A.

[DarthRandall]

@go49ers1 I stand corrected.

[QueenReigns1]

@go49ers1

I believe that's true..hence the song LA Connection.

[AtanasovPetar]

@QueenReigns1 LA connection was written for the keyboard player in rainbow at that time i heard that from Ronnie Dio.

[go49ers1]

@DarthRandall It was actually Tony Carey, the keyboard player. He never got to tour because he quit during the Long Live Rock 'n Roll sessions in France. Basically Ritchie(and sometimes Cozy)would scare the hell out of him in the castle that they were recording in. Ritchie held seances and would try to contact the ghost of Chopin(who is supposed to haunt that castle). After one final scare Tony called his father and told him to get him a ticket back to L.A.

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead LOL! Okay.  This is officially the funniest response I have ever gotten to a post, and I wasn't even trolling. Hey, could you put that message on my channel?

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall You're the one who is heartless.

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE BALL-LICKERS!

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall I'm only one person.

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall Aren't you that guy on yahoo answers that emails me all the time?

and your name is darth karl?

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead You have a troll who calls himself "Darth Karl?" LOL!  You're just special, aren't you?

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall Personally,I don't know the guy,but hes hell of a lot like you.

you are scum.

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead Okay, you have piqued my curiosity now. So what does he do to you? Does he just make fun of you? Does he trash talk Deep Purple? Is he Ian Gillan?

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall Well,he does what you do.He doesn't like Ritchie Blackmore and says bad things about him.Just because he fired band members(due to musical taste incompatibilities) he calls him every vulgar word in the english dictionary.

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead Obviously, you are not Ritchie Blackmore, yet you irrationally defend the man from every perceived slight. That hints at an unhealthy obsession. Are you autistic, or do you just have OCD? Have you ever met Ritchie? Have you even been to one of his concerts? What is it about him that fascinates you so?

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall Irrational?

you're the one who is being completly illogical and unrealistic on you're own little planet.

You're in your own little fantasy world to escape from reality.

And if you must know I have not been diagnosed with any mental illness.

you should be concerned about you're own health,because the rate you're going,You'll end up baker acted.

[DarthRandall]

@Saturnlead All I did was tell the well-documented story behind L.A. Connection. Everyone knows that Ritchie is a practical joker. He makes no secret of it. Hell, he wrote the song about it. (Too bad he never wrote one about a naked guy on a boat to Iceland.) That you perceived it as an attack is patently irrational. You may have never been diagnosed as mentally ill, but you should seek some professional advice. That disconnect with reality is unusually wide.

[Saturnlead]

@DarthRandall But the problem is that you try to mae him seem like an evil person.Like he killed someone or something like that.

It's undoubtful he had his faults in his life.Nor is he the most perfect person,that there is delusional.

But on the other hand he has done some good things in his life I'm sure and obviously did not kill his child and wrap it with duct tape in a car.Like someone else did.

But I do believe one of my physichians said that I MIGHT have aspergers.

[Saturnlead]

Yeah,childish and stupid,thanks for proving me right.

[fortheloveoftunes]

1:09 ferry to Iceland .-)

[MrAxian11]

lol Lemmy is just a legend. Been himself from day one :)

[AdamClaytonWright]

.."that is thorough"

[LBjim]

Lemmy in 2012!!

[TheMichaelseymour]

0.39 -Whats julio isglassyarse doin with Ritchie's guitar ?

[joeSG100]

greatest thing i have ever heard in my life.

[RangRing68]

What i like about Lemmy is he never talks shit about anybody even if that "anybody" happens to be a Grade A asshole, serial killer or even Charlie Sheen. Such a humble fellow he is. 

[mmallio]

@RangRing68 I agree. Lemmy almost seems bemused and a little uncomfortable with any attention that he gets.

[Binagwaho]

Dinner with him, Ghandi, Hendrix, Chopin and Salvador Dali. Wrap that in plastic and call it heaven...

[PetroASR]

who gives me a translation in italiano?

[aaaarrrgggghh]

@PetroASR hanno fatto bere Ritchy Blackmore qualcosa con della droga dentro e si e' svegliato completamente nudo, senza documenti ne' soldi in una macchina presa a noleggio (senza chiavi) nel traghetto che porta in Irlanda. A me hanno rubato i vestiti con le chiavi di casa dentro finche' ero in piscina a londra.... e non sono una rockn roll star e non ho riso..

[LazyHammond91]

@aaaarrrgggghh no guarda che ritchie che ha fatto bere al tipo xk gli ha rotto il cazzo

[PetroASR]

@aaaarrrgggghh porello...

[rideon77]

@aaaarrrgggghh E' Ritchie che ha fatto bere a un poveraccio il Mickey ahahha! 

[thedeadchair]

@aaaarrrgggghh non ha detto Irlanda. Ha detto Islandia. non hai capito niente

[aaaarrrgggghh]

@thedeadchair eh, la nazione infatti e' il punto focale della storia!! piuttosto, riascoltando vede che e' stato ritchie a fare lo scherzo a quell'altro, che cambia un pochino le cose. Comunque se mi mandi l'email ti spedisco una sterlina per l'errore che ho fatto, in terronia immagino che valga tanti soldi.

[thedeadchair]

@aaaarrrgggghh ah, pensi che sono italiano? ed anche del sud? no, I'm no italian, maldito gilipollas, and I live in London, so there's no sterlina you nedd to send me... segaiolo...

[MetallicBill]

I heard he refused to sign an autograph for an admiring fan in a bar one time, after a show, that fan was a famous guitarist who was just starting out and it forever tainted his opinion on stardom and idol worship... Richie was certainly known for his moods he was in!

[Saturnlead]

@MetallicBill Ritchie always signed autographs you fool.

[MetallicBill]

@Saturnlead Proof, or you have no factual basis to say that

[Saturnlead]

@Saturnlead it shows him signing autographs on wikipedia.I posted it on your channel because its not working on here for some reason.

[Ramtough93]

@Saturnlead Ronnie James Dio himself said that Blackmore acted like a douche

[Saturnlead]

@Ramtough93 watch this video he says Ritchie has always been a "gentleman" to him. he says it towards the end

*remove spaces* wat ch?v=IVF sJC1 HW 0A

[Ramtough93]

@Saturnlead on his interview with that metal show, he said that Ritchie was a genius, but acted as if he was better than his fans

[Saturnlead]

@Ramtough93First off- He NEVER thaught he was better than ANYBODY let alone his fans.In fact, one time a guy happened to sneak backstage at a Rainbow concert and the bouncers were about to kick him out but Ritchie told them "No,leave him.He's fine." and hung out with him for about 15 min.

Seriously if that is your definition of snobby than you are the snobby bimbo.

Second,Dio never trash-talked Ritchie.You deceiving hypocrite.

this was the last straw you braindead oaf!!!!

[Ramtough93]

@Saturnlead look man, reeelaxxxx. take a deep breath and chill. Im a huge Rainbow fan, i was just watching that metal show, and Dio and Geezer Butler were guests and thats what Dio said. Dio is extremely nice to fans, and Ritchie was a little personal

[Saturnlead]

@Ramtough93 Well being detached and private has nothing to do with acting "better than fans".

[Ramtough93]

@Saturnlead He ignored his fans, and to me that seemed cocky

[Saturnlead]

@Ramtough93 He didn't "ignore" his fans.It's not like he made an embarressing video on youtube telling fans NOT to write to him.And it really is not easy to have fans jumping on you left and right.

[Saturnlead]

@MetallicBill and give me the name of the famous guitarst.

[marktv3]

Anyone who posts pointless intro's is an ASSHOLE. yes, this means you.

[Metalheadsmusiclover]

There is a bug in this window: The dislike button. Hey, youtube, please fix this.

[NoHalfPints]

the into voice is so beige

[MisatoK29]

At first when I seen this video I could not understand who Lemmy was saying Blackmore did this too. Then the first couple of responses to this were about Dio for some reason. I thought that was strange. I mean, Dio was basically one of the nicer people in the rock industry, but even so, I can't picture Dio has being someone you would want to mess with, even if he was short and nice. There was still something about him that just sais "don't tread on me". RIP Dio!

[MetallicBill]

@MisatoK29 A Road Manager I believe

[DoctorWho1983]

Yea he's italian american ,bozo

[hoppercap]

that mole is disgusting. just goes to show, looks don't matter AT ALL to chicks. hehe

[NoHalfPints]

@hoppercap That comment is only 35 years too late, but there's always a latecomer to the party.

[hoppercap]

@NoHalfPints party?! i don't need no stinkin' party!

[Jefgg]

That happened before Ritchie decided he wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons rock. 

[Stereotype23]

5 people were stuck naked in a car with no keys on a ferry to Iceland

Man, I should do the same thing if someone piss me off!

[WeedVulva]

lemmy laughed!

[rockeer]

xD xD xD WUNDERBAR

[daveaw69]

So glad Lemmy ain't slagging off Richie......they are both legends. The Yanks have Presley, we have talent.

[DoctorWho1983]

@daveaw69

Yanks have presley? Buddy we also got Hendrix, Leslie West and Dio, to name a few

[GrungeMetalRocker]

@DoctorWho1983

and thats just to name afew! lol !

[RitchieBlackmore124]

@DoctorWho1983 Actually Dio's Italian

[67goldtops]

@daveaw69

Presley? Sorry, clown.Try Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray, Billy Gibbons, Duane Allman, Danny Gatton to name but a few. You can keep Ritchie "Who ME play rhythm" Blackmore. Some people actually demand that a player have the ability to play chords, rather than relying on his keyboardist to do so. You joker.

[TestShoot]

@daveaw69 we got lemmy now, he chose us lol

[hippiedp]

Thanks. Now I got it.

[hippiedp]

Can anybody explain the story ? I do not come from Britain or USA and I cannot understand exactly what Lemmi said.

[DomIstKrieg]

@hippiedp Richie Blackmore got a guy who was making him angry. He got him an alcoholic drink with some sleeping tablets in it. When the man woke back up, they had put him a locked car with no clothes and no means of identification on a boat going to iceland. Ok?

[megashuttlecock]

CRACKWOOD the movie !!! Lemmy as the spirt guide..llamas clowns and a whole lot more... coming soon!!!

[norris452]

Had to be Ritchie... a joker.

[p0rkjell0]

I love Lemmy, but he's fucking mental...

[engel220]

@p0rkjell0

It's Rock N' Roll mate, comes with the territory. Fortunately he's intelligently mental, and hilarious to boot.

[TheGreaterGood80]

@p0rkjell0 a lifetime of uppers and downers has that effect on people

[p0rkjell0]

"Wonderful in its malice" .... let's take another drink mate....

[oomysoul]

Ritchie Blackmore has got to be the epitome of The Guitar Hero a devilish streak and a maestro of the instrument. Hail Ritchie!!

[plijevo]

Ritchie Blackmore the god of guitar , the best ever . He will always be the best

[BlackmoreClapton]

Ritchie is the best, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlarmyArmy07]

[PANICBLADE]

Holy shit someone please find a way to confirm this, because this is the greatest prank ever pulled in history and i hope to god that its true. not that i dont trust the word of the immortal LEMMEH KILLMYSTRRRR!!!!!!!

[kotsdriv]

[Tauzieher]

Wunderbar!

[TheRocktourist]

lem is god!

[RitchieSlade]

God that's just genius!

Do not fuck with Mr. Blackmore, ever.

[hoppercap]

Lemmy has a disgusting tobacco and alcohol voice. That gigantic mole doesn't help.

[BornToLoseOutToLunch]

@hoppercap I don't think his several million fans give a fuck. I'm sorry you do tho. Ahahaha

[hoppercap]

@BornToLoseOutToLunch They should. He's a bad role model. He's going to be very lonely and desperate at the end. He should get that mole removed.

[Raphos4ever]

@hoppercap his voice maybe full of tabacco and alcohol as you said but is one of the things that characterize it and make it unique....and man its rock who gives a damn about image....

[BornToLoseOutToLunch]

@hoppercap Having written, published and world wide toured over 18 albums. I don't think he's one to judge off the cuff like that.

[Melsted]

@hoppercap lonely? the man can have any woman he wants its his image women like about him and his i don't give a fuck attitude. you know he has slept with over 2000 women right..

he's the last one left still living the rock n roll image in my eyes

[BucketPukes1969]

@Melsted the only famous one maybe, but definitely fucking not.

[hoppercap]

@Melsted he trying to be sexy and insert his penis into the vaginal cavities!!!

[Saturnlead]

@Melsted He never slept with 2000 women you manwhore.

fuck you.You just can't get a woman because you are a fucking ugly cunt ass bitch that can't get a girlfriend.I'd love to send you naked on a boat to iceland and take a picture of you and put it on facebook that would be fucking rich.

[drummerboi14]

@hoppercap He may have a gigantic mole but he's shagged more women than you've prob ever spoke to you fucking troll.

[hoppercap]

@drummerboi14 probably got aids too! hehe

[BrUSomania]

If that is true, I just died of laughter!

[Wrathdemon]

The guy was Ian Gillan's friend btw. That's what started the Gillan/Blacmore war.

[hablacat]

[gypsysunerainbow]

Who woke up in a hired car completely naked? Ritchie? This accent is hard to me

[lucifer73]

@gypsysunerainbow Ritchie's tour manager woke up naked.
