Blackmore at his best.It's not the guitar it's the man behind it ! Pity he was a control freak.Rainbow should have had Pink Floyd status, but Blackmore crippled them with line up changes.Still the best in his day.Young kids ridicule his style compared to modern guitarists but they forget without RB there would be no Satrianis or Malmstiens etc.Dio top man too.
@strongarmofthepaw Really? What kids? They have to be braindead to ridicule Ritchie in any sense whatsoever. I know every shredder from the past 25 years and I take Ritchie over anyone of them... Incredible chops, outstanding taste and feel, maturity and the most incredible stage persona ever (only comparable to Eddie Van Halen and Pete Townsend, in my opinion, who are incredibly charismatic on stage).
This is the way I loved Ritchie as a kid;scraggly,thinning hair,mutton chops,looking totally un fashionable and like a total madman,playing like one as well.He was so cool until he started trying to be cool with the commercial stuff/image.
A true creative genius................ Under-rated................ Blackmore / Dio one of the best writing partnerships in Rock / Metal History.............
Ok . Aerosmithdude. He is your brother and you are asking a bunch of people on y-tube to see if we have vids of him. Shut-up. Does any on here believe anything anyone says anymore. Bye the way. Jesus is my second cousins uncles great great great great lost son of his great great uncles milkmans great grandfather. Of course it is true. You read it here on the tube.
They only helped to record the first Rainbow-Album, just because they were available as members of DPs opening-act ELF. They never played live with rainbow, so they also were never recorded (exept for the studio-tracks).
