Ritchie Blackmore, a.k.a The Man Without A Smile, a.k.a The Man In Black, a.k.a The Man From The Silver Mountain - Just The Great Guitar Player In The World!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suspect that Ritchie’s choosing to play the instrumental in the lighter style is unfortunately another proof that he is over with the hard rock, as opposed to his being faithful to the style of the original.
The biggest problem with that version, though, is the lack of flow on the rhythm part in it. The rhythm section sounds clumsy. I suspect that the performing musicians didn’t rehearse the instrumental enough to acquire the flow of its Shadows original.
I was a little disappointed. Ritchie should have played it rather in the hard rock style, like he did with Still I am Sad. To that end he should have played this instrumental with his fingers, as opposed to with the slide. That would have put an even bigger stamp of his musician personality on the instrumental. This recording is more in the Blackmore’s Night style than in Rainbow’s.
@Flankersquirrels You really love the sound of your own fingers. Of all the people on YouTube you get the award for typing the most pompous bollocks. I bet your a scream at a dinner party.
@redcarpdog Hey guy...there's no need to feel sorry for me *worried anxious look on face*. I mean....i don't want you losing any sleep. You just forget allllllll about me, and the world will be a much better place for you. Trust me....take care now xxx
@PLEDGEY , thanks for your kind words :-). Actually I owe you an apology.. I thought I was respnding to the total inane highbrow bollocks that was posted by Flankersquirrels!! I must have had too much vino when I posted :-)
@redcarpdog No problem!. If you think what Flankers typed here is bollocks, then check out some squirrel hunting videos. This twat trolls them, and then threatens the people that makes them. He even says he's going to track people down and shoot them!. He's a white supremacist so you know he's full of wind and piss. Twat doesn't even own a gun, so i don't know how he's going to shoot anybody
I have been a huge Blackmore fan, long before most of his'fans' these days were born, there is no doubt he has played a very important role in the development of rock music, he has created some great music, particularly with Deep Purple, and he has been one of the greatest guitarists ever. Since the sad death of Hendrix, for me he was the greatest living guitarist until about 10 years ago. Beck. Morse and Brian Josh are the greatest now, Hendrix remains the greatest ever.
To georgef76 , well said mate, such a brilliant Guitar player , can you imagine ranked 57 amongst Rolling stones best 100 guitar players. Without any intention to offend , two of the best clowns in Guitar namely Jeff Beck and EC get ahead eh?
What a pity this man did not get the recognition he deserved.
Like i said no intention to offend J Beck and EC fans , but my personal opinion both over hyped Guitar players.
@Roby1able or Stargazer, or A200, or Burn, or Highway Star, or Man on a Silver Mountain, or...well you get my point. Maybe Blackmore gets the snub because he was brutal with the media. Had he been easier to get along with and used the media to his advantage his reputation would be better. As it is, we fans know who the king of hard rock is, and it ain't Beck or Clapton or even Page. Without Iommi you wouldn't have metal and without Blackmore you wouldn't have hard rock as we know it.
The Rolling Stone “experts” are imbeciles obviously. Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest rock guitarist ever. You have the gigantic talent – the pioneer of hard rock – Jimmy Hendrix; you have the outstanding guitarists Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck; but there is only one genius among them – Ritchie Blackmore.
Blackmoore have the magic and fantasytalk with guitarsongs and things with guitar. Very deep maestro. Many big guitarist are small baecause they dont have the thing too get the solo and sound to the deeper thinking truth. Blackmorre . We are many who understand the Blackmoores deep and magic in our hearts. I love Ritshie Blackmoore.
Though an average guitarist myself , would def say R Blackmore is one of the finest therewill ever be, check out the amazing solo on Rainbow's Gates of Babylon , incredible drumming from Cozy as well
Been listening to all my DP & Rainbow cd's , what a guitarist he was ! His very underrated , he should be number 1 , 2 or 3 . His always much lower when there is a vote. Can keep on listening to all the cd's again. Love his fired up rock riffs & amazing solos. All the emotion & feeling in his work. How about Son Of Alerek, Not Responsible , Kill The King , Death Alley Driver, Stone Cold. The only other guitarist 's i like are Tony Iommi & Michael Shenker, but Ritchie is
