Ritchie Blackmore － Deep Purple

[TheNiko005]

Let's be honest... Summertime or whatever is shite...So I dont mind if he stole the riff or not, the thing is that he made something fantastic from another thing crappy!

[arsik1505]

SG710, are you an idiot? Every musician takes something from others. It is not stealing. Stealing is when you totally copy the riff! By the way, why would he tell in that video that he had stolen something? He is not stupid to call himself plagiarist! The difference between "inspired" and "stolen" is HUGE!

2:05..you dont believe me??? man, you are blackmore you can say whatever the fuck comes in your mind

[SG710]

I admit, Ritchie is one of the most awesome guitarists on this planet. But I can't wrap my head around you people defending him for steeling those riffs. If someone else did this you'd be like "shame on you, asshole!!!" or "you're f*** thief" or something like that. But when Ritchie does it you defend it. And don't say he can do it because he's Ritchie f*** Blackmore. Doesn't matter. What a perfect example of double standard

@SG710 Get a life, Dickweed. Every musician is inspired by other musicians. Ritchie is original enough to do something else with the material. It's not stealing.

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

he stole the riff!!!! hahaaaa

[Anoraknofoob]

Just the way he plays this riffs is brilliant. It's not stealing, it's inspiration.

And what's original these days in the charts???

[nnachiketa]

he has guts to say that somebody made the original tune before him

[watchpotch]

He holds his hands up. Respect.

[Angyinrock]

Noooooooo! I ' ve always thought he was a genius but... he's just a stealer! :(

[royalenr1]

@Angyinrock He stole one song

[TrollFredrik]

@royalenr1

He and the others from Purple stole many songs or riffs. Child In TIme, for instance... The main structure of the song is totally stolen from Bombay Calling by It's A Beautiful Day. They, however, "stole" it from an old movie soundtrack from the '30s, I think..

Led Zeppelin's intro to Stairway To Heaven.. Stolen from a 60's band called Spirit.

The drum solo from The End by The Beatles.. Identical to the drum solo in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly.

Everybody steals some time.

[jamirosmajicrocks]

i just dont seem to understand why such an amazing guitarist has to steal things, i think its kind of lazy.

[SuperJBrowne]

@jamirosmajicrocks Taking from one is stealing, taking from many is called research. I heard Santana say that but he was quoting someone else, dont know who though.

[SuperJBrowne]

@jamirosmajicrocks Just so you know, every great guitar player has to take from someone else, where do you think inspiration comes from? Clapton - Robert Johnson, B.B.King, Albert King etc list goes on and on. John Petrucci got his inspiration from Steve Morse. Hendrix from all the great blues players, he even took alot from Little Richard.

[piafounet]

Black Night...I had thought it was a Blues Magoos' song

[95DarkKiller]

Blackmore is the God of guitar！！

[jwandhistools]

Every musician in history borrows stuff from other musicians.

All of them.

[666DeadDeath]

he said that "lazy" is inspired by eric clapton, but which song?

[donata73]

@666DeadDeath steppin' out of Cream

[666DeadDeath]

@donata73 thanks



[P00TANARA]

2:20..i came...

[TheMIRCO112]

I adore Blackmore's sense of humour)))))) about Mozart-lol)))))))

[technicmen]

secondo me rimane il più grande chitarrista di sempre

[renzomarrocu]

si capisce molto bene a chi si è ispirato !

[Nycitybikeracing]

to see Richie give some of his stuff is like wow

[MauricioBlues]

woah!! I mean AMAZING! This is the definitive proof that a True Master gets his inspiration from EVERYWHERE...and at the END Ritchie gives a nice compliment to Ian...well in his own way.

[ansionnachcliste]

There's nothing wrong with a bit of inspiration. What a legend... true professional.
