There are shades of his unique style that would emerge. It is very rough and unpolished but the bizarre playing suited the song. Sort of like surf guitar on amphtemines
sometime's, he didn't look happy. let's remind him of the solo that we heard on 'highway star' from 'made in japan'. maybe if he got back to inventing some of our most cherished riff's ... oxymoronic,sure but you know what i'm sayn.
Ritchie Blackmore is a highly talented musician , and quite the adept influence - thief. He did'nt have Jeff Beck's unique style, yet by 1972, he had single-handedly created heavy / shred lead guitar. Without Blackmore? no Priest, Maiden, and no Scorpions either, probably not many 80's classical/ shred-masters..
@risingson - finally someone with some sense! my only argument is that Blackmore couldn't carry Beck's guitars. look I liked Blackmore back in the day. bought Shades of Deep Purple on vinyl when I was like 12, then Book Of Talieson, etc. but wth has he done since 1980? all I've ever heard is recycled licks in everything he's ever done, whereas Beck, Satriani, Vai, Tabor, Keaggy - those guys get better and more innovative every year.
@1971Goldtop my reason to argue was to possibly hear something new and interesting from the opposing opinion. I myself bow the head to Beck, Satriani, Vai, but the only "rival" - to me personally, of course, has been Jimmpy Page. For almost 40 years I can not ultimately make my mind which of these two I like the best. Why? Because I think that thy created the basis for what eventually evovled itno what we call virtuous rock-guitarist now - courtesy to the same Vai, Satriani and some others.
Ritchie DID play the lead break in '"Just Like Eddie" ...and dont forget to watch the movie "Live it Up" .. with HEINZ, Steve Marriot (Small Faces) and David Hemmings - to name a few. I might put a clip or two on my tube..
Just to put the wind up all you Ritchie Fans, It may not be Ritchie, it could be the guy who took over from Ritchie in The Wild Boys (For 100 points can anybody name Him?) The ever elusive Barry Tomlinson.
I cant believe i was 3 paces away from meeting Ritchie at " The Manchester Apollo Theatre " back in 1982 and bottled it! A big regret of mine! Long live Ritchie and his Rainbow!
very cool

Great photo of Ritchie Blacmore.
I am studying his career from The Outlaws through to Blackmore's Night.
Born in 1945 and still playing and writing great music today!
Thanks for sharing!
