  • A different stance on his solos, but beefy and gripping, my fav is the live in europe solos................sublime! you fool no one, mistreated, burn.............other guitarist would struggle with his passion and more importantly his timing and syncopation.

  • he is one with his guitar im not trying to be wimpsy or cliché here but look at him. he has absolutely no struggle in playing this.

  • u like that..u may like this>>watch?v=cjpIqiNI22k

  • deep purple deep rock

  • Sick

  • Yep...why DP isn't in the R&R Hall of Fame is a down right dirty shame! Yet Lines and Nose's and the Red Hot Willie Wankers get inducted over them....Neither one of them on their best days could touch DP on their worst!

  • funny....his hair got thicker and fuller as he got older

  • Yeah, I've had days like that too Ritchie; usually a rainy Wednesday

  • Rock Strat playing he's possibly #2 to Hendrix. Beck #3 and Gary Moore #4.

  • what kind of pickups are those?

  • @axis1250 Probably, seymour duncan quarter pound.

  • @axis1250 seymor duncan SSL 4 :)

  • 2:53, fastest handjob ever.

  • I'm glad Guns N' Roses have been inducted into "Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame", but it's a REAL SHAME" it lacks with Deep Purple!!!!! Deep Purple are more rock and roll than Guns N' Roses and Red Hot put together!!!! Deep Purple are the essence of Rock

  • wow

  • drums are too loud

  • I know Ritchie is good, but this isn't music, he's throwing a tantrum

  • Ritchie is a brilliant guitarist, but I can't hear what sound is coming from his guitar.Is it mumbo jumbo?

  • I agree this is nothing more than a bunch of aggression and noise. The man can do so much better we all know . I think Ritchie doesn,t give a shit about playing in Purple with Gillan who can,t no longer sing . Obviously he was in Purple for the money. Watch te later Rainbow in 95 and you see Blackmore in his ellement playing exellent guitar. This solo is nothing more than a lott off noise with too much effect.

  • And I can barely play smoke in the water :(

  • being good at alsorts is where he has skill....can blow the nuts off a guitar,,,then play greensleaves,,,

  • shreds

  • He Is Awesome!

  • отсой

  • Ritchie Blackmore is a uniquely gifted musician.ROCK ON!!!!!!!

  • i wanna kil 173 ppl who will help meh??? :D

  • Ritchie the legendary guitarist......but sadly in our isolated village which is secluded from foreign music........your guitar sound are named after an ethnic in the Philippine they called kastilang.....I hope you are not angry for the misjudge ritchie......

  • FANTASTIC SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ritchie blackmore rule

  • A lot of times Ritchie just does a lazy whale on your guitar solo.

    When he feels like working no other guitarist can touch him.

    He`s so good he doesn`t but much effort in it half the time

  • здорово

  • Blackmore produces sounds from his guitar which seem to eminate from magical far off lands. He is a unique and quite extraordinary musician.

  • Only amateurs think this is Promethean.

  • i have to admit this is definitly not his best solo by a long way most of blackmores best stuff was in the 70,s with deep purple and rainbow after that hes not relevent in the guitar world anymore and he is considered a joke today because of all his folk music exploits in my opinion jimmy page is the real early shredder his songs always rocked

  • @shredmaster100 You don't get it do you? simpletons like you should learn just because it doesn't have distorted or heavy sounds doesn't equivelant to crap.Ritchie,as well as I love to keep in touch with our cultural roots.I actually feel sorry for people like you.

  • What a big FUCK U this "solo" was from Ritchie to his fans. He probably didn't give a shit anymore at this point.

  • I just wish there had been better quality gear for these few good players' playing to cut through the band mix.

  • *early* Yngwie

  • WTF at the beginning. Yngwie or what

  • I have the feeling that Ritchie´s playing is always a bit too low in volume against all the other instruments. Well, it may be that as a great professional he is, he always will balance his own volume so that all the others in the band get well heard too, but at times I miss a bit more of an edge. Most of the time I really have to listen very carefully in order to "find" him in the rest of the music that the other guys are playing.

  • The Best Among THE BESTS. the greatest guitarist in the world. how can the man dislove him???

  • The Best Among THE BESTS. the greatest guitarist in the world

  • THE best......EVAH!!!!!! Richard Hugh Blackmore.

  • Yngwie sucks, why is Blackmore his idol? Look listen and learn! Long live rock n roll! The biggest asshole in the world, I think is the best.

  • Blackmore is god.

  • Blackmore looks like a Jersey brunette....cool!!!

  • @SmittyHeWasNumber1 funny. but love blackmore!

  • He is the one! Anyway!

  • /watch?v=3t6okQW-Pfo 1 of the Best original song on youtube Thumbs up if u agree. THUMBS UP IF U AGREE

  • Sound was sucks!!!!

  • ritchie is hidiously good ,no one like him in his era,or today in fact?

  • @MultiRaiha Yngwie tries real hard.

  • not one his better outings

  • @ledzeppelinjunkie jimmy page is the greatest

  • This is all about wild aggression and showmanship. He’s obviously not trying to be that musical. When Blackmore wants to melt your heart with musicality he can certainly do so.

  • @guitarslinger32269 He can melt your face off too.

  • @guitarslinger32269 is "musicality" a word?

  • @Autocad1965 Musicality: "The quality or condition of being musical."

  • @guitarslinger32269 And he certainly did proved us he can melt our hearts with his music just as he can make us want to break stuff... Just take Wasted Sunsets, Temple of the King, April, not to mention Soldier of Fortune as a greatest song in my opinion....

  • @C00LPHONE WTF.... sorry man ... I don't know why worte that T.T

  • this is very loud and very action solo ...:D..he s great musican ,i think he can play anything....and it sounds realy good...:.....

    ps:this is a good shit .

  • 0:01 awsome through 0:23

  • 0:01 awsome

  • este blackmore era un paquete, aguante yngwie y giardino, que le van a copiar a este salamin

  • StS Sanders? ;-)

  • That's no joke! Can't hear a thing. Too bad.

  • Ritchie Blackmore is an amazing guitarist, but the sound on this video is horrible :/

  • I have a lot of respect for Blackmore.. but this sounds like a dying giraffe...

  • I can't his finger .... so fast..... I want to like that ... Coooooool

  • @perry5732 you want to be his finger

  • One of my dreams is to be like this man, one day. The people who say he plays sloppy, well when your live you can go fucking crazy! Did Jimi Hendrix, and Jimi Page not? Ritchie can make the stage his, he has more talent than any guitarist I know, he's notorious for what he does off stage, but what he does on stage is legendary. I loved him in Deep Purple, I loved him in Rainbow, and I love him in Blackmores Night, the mans a genius his riffs are legendary, and his live performance unmatched.

  • 165 people disliking this????

  • he made me start playin guitar

  • was he doing this cause he felt he had to?? the eddie van halen syndrome??

    Blackmore is a gifted player and a genius in his own way and shouldn't go in van halen land, it doesn;t suit him..

  • this is why you shouldn't take drugs.

  • they are stoned cold crazy.

  • "φτωχη"η εμπανηση τους στις 20/05/11...χωρις blackmore & lord...τι να το κανεις???!!!

  • @agapo968

    *εμφανηση*

  • @agapo968 γιατι coverdale?

  • The master, the star, the king, THE MAN IN BLACK!!!!!

  • pretty bad

  • a classical guitar teacher I know would call this kind of guitar playing "masturbation"...

  • @switcherdawna That teacher probably has splinters because he tried it.

  • Ενας απο τους καλητερους κιθαριστες στον κοσμο

  • Blackers had a "Bad" night !! If He werent in the mood then it just wasn"t on, He is an ICON guitar player, the best :) :)

  • I'm sure he was great and innovative in his time, but I haven't seen anything by him that is really that great. It's mainly just loud slop that meanders nowhere.

  • Ritchie Blackmore is Deep Purple! Leave him, and you leave the band!

  • Blackmore at his best!! I love this!

  • I love the power when Ritchie kicks in the octaver. Pure genious!

  • @ingareinar007 Oh sorry, it is not an octaver but a pedalbass (I`m a bit slow today)

  • there are some guitarists who can make a stratocaster sing, like dave gilmour, srv and eric johnson. blackmores stratocaster is the only one that can SCREAM!!!! xD

  • ATTENTION: Those of you who are just getting into ritchie blackmore, DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS VID, believe me, he is a much better guitarist than this, must have had a bad night.

  •  mys__/bonnardsbluesband

  • fuck playing smoothy or within the back beat.

    the solo's perfect and one of his better ones to boot.

  • DEEP PURPLE

  • shite

  • hahah its like spinal tap

  • wow...this sucks alot...im suprised i know hes better than this

  • I like how he plays wrong-handed

  • the 155 dumbass who dislike this vid are fucking retarded wankers

  • He is the legend!

  • im sorry but hes no better than the typical wanker on the street.

  • pure shit

  • people should really listen to some purple/rainbow or check out some other solos on youtube before they completely write ritchie off. he's one of the all time greats!

  • I will tell you all truthfully, I love Ritchie. I am most likely one of his all time biggest fans. Also I have seen and heard him do some amazing things.... But this wasn't one of them. Ritchie is one of those guys that plays great when he's inspired, but when he's not...well this video is proof. I'm suprised that he stayed with Purple as long as he did the 2nd time around. His inability to get along with the guys always caused him to play poorly cause he would become agitated and introverted.

  • the most arrogant guitar player EVER

  • he needs some guitar lessons. He should audition for spinal tap.

  • he kicks ass no matter what he does

  • @guforules Agree! And ofcourse people who don`t know anything about guitarplay may say that this sucks. I have played the guitar almost 30 years, and I really mean he is the greatest. The solo here is really something! ;)

  • sick..!!!!

  • what an idiot to give himself a solo session

  • Die Band ist der Geile wahnsinn !!!

  • Nigel Tufnel can play two guitars and a violin at the same time and it sounds AMAZING.. The sustain is awesome. just listen to it. hmmmmmmmmmmmm. See?

  • From an era when louder was better... things have changed... we play music now.

  • @roibasses wth are you talking about

  • now that's some sloppy playing!!!

  • FAKEEEEE

  • @miltos1993 not fake, just really that bad

  • This is shite!

  • What solo? You can hardly hear the fuckin guitar...

  • Those who are sayig that this is bad really doesn't know anything about Ritchie. When he does this kind of "solo" live it´s just to make noise and smash guitars. He doesn't want to play anything at all. On the other hand, during the actual songs through the concert he shredds his ass off.

  • poo 

  • respect !!!

  • best part_ 2.53min.

  • terrible²

  • it's not music!

  • What a load of pants!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a beautifully crafted and technical guitar solo - you certainly need to know all your scales and modes to play this!!

  • wtf?

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • Ritchie Blackmore is incredible. The list of bands he has played with is longer than most peoples geneology

  • YEP. Too much drum, not enough guitar.

  • He can do so much better than this.... he was having an off day ..

  • They must have colorized this old vid. Does anyone know if he's still alive? And if so, is he dating Betty White?

  • @lance22me It says right there, it was in 1985... They had colour.

  • @Lucifersteapot - If they had color, then how come his guitar is white?

  • @lance22me Know what? You're right! They must have paid somebody to paint in all the colour directly onto the film, and then just before he started doing the guitar he got fired.

  • @Lucifersteapot Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. Looks like Ritchie Blackmore was warming up for the Everly Sisters, who were headling at the time. You can see one of them in the background at 2.32.

  • You fuckin dumpfucks the sound is the problem not his playing you fuckin 10 year old bastards

  • @KAIL166 Exactly

  • I think this might be a reasolt of to much "happy meals" if you know what im sayin [=

  • monstersssss

  • Hmmm... have heard much better from him.

  • This is how play the guitar the 95 % of the kids themselves called Shred..... No the greatest one, just the people who play a fast lick and thinks that it is all ok...... ummm this is circus music.

    Blackmore its a great musician, but this is not a good moment.

  • I'm the best balckmore's fan in the world, but here and in other 80's live he realy sucks . . . . . .

  • we need Ritchie in d-Purple!!!

    ian and Ritchie do-it 4 US FANS

    P.BONHAM MAVRAKIS

  • Ah... This is how I played guitar when I didn't have a clue what I was trying to do musically and just went for stringing together a bunch of technical bullshit glossed over to make it sound cohesive. Instead it sounded like shit. Listen to Jimi doing "Stone Free" at the Royal Albert Hall in 1969. THAT IS HOW YOU PLAY GUITAR!!! Ritchie needs to learn how to play scales all over again. And he should listen to some Jazz guitar to play with fluidity. A+ on the hair tosses though. Rock on!!!

  • @HMG5588 ..You just owned yourself with that comment..loser..nobody knows you, nobody listens to your asshappy little fag ditties.

  • @4eyedCyclopes And you revealed yourself to be a mediocre judge of guitarists. You probably don't even play guitar and if you do, you most likely suck ass at it. Ritchie's guitar playing SUCKS ASS HERE!!!

  • Drummer playing with Richie equals NOT a Guitar Solo!

  • I lost alot of respect for Blackmore now...

  • He is the greatest ever. But his solo spots always were propositaly noisy. He plays godly the whole show, but he really likes to make noise and crash guitars on his solo spot. It,s more a visuall and theatrical kind of thing than musical - he delivers more musicianship during the concert than anyother guitarist in the world, except at this part of show. Ritchie is god!

  • Horrible.

  • It's the way he wanted it to sound! Dorian Mode!!

    Makes it sound like Pain! bad Ass Man! the Best!!

  • @rebb61 Absolutely! And for many people, geniouses are hard to undertand. Many think that clean scales and so is the only way to play. Ritchie often combines this with rough structure and so on. I saw Steve Morse in concert with DP. He is amazing in his own right, but he (and the other before him that worked shortly in DP) doesn`t fit in the band. I feel it is way to clean and it would fit better in other styles. Ritchie, Jimi H and Neil Y has the dirty and sometimes a "sweetness" in the play.

  • I think the problem here is the sound. Not his playing. The sound here is really bad. The notes are not clear because of his bad guitarsound, I 've heard him play with a better sound on other videos than here! His solo of "Child in Time" where he played for the last time with DP is really better. In this video the sound is a mess.

  • Some people got lost in the drugs of that time era.  Sounds like he cant hear what hes doing or he forgot how to play

  • Не уж то блэкмор тоже низко пал - стал дрочить гитару вместо игры на ней. фуууу отстой!!!!

  • this definatly suck , stop being in denial , i like him but i must admit, this sucks

  • What is this drugged rubbish

  • wow, what a waste of 3:30 minutes, absolute shit, hes got nothing on Micheal Angelo Batio

  • @ZomgMetalRules1989 batio its a fucking shit...sounds like a snes game music.

  • WTF is this crap? Carpel tunnel?

  • terrible

    

  • Blackmore is the original!....Very cool.....Check me out!!

  • hes great but i prefer Steve Morse

  • have to agree, back when i was a teen, Blackmore could do no wrong, but this is just gratuitous guitar wanking. This is just not a good example of his usual high standards.

  • Je's not just a guitar player. He's also a great entertainer and a very sexy (burt arrogant) one.

  • he is fuckin crazy and freakin out of his mind!!!!!!!!

  • this really isn't that good for Ritchie, best I've seen from him was wring that neck from the 69 bilzen jazz festival, 24 minutes of raw power, that is the purple video that deserves 750,000 hits

  • i love his incoherent noise as much as when he plays perfectly.he can do no wrong in my eyes.i love when hendrix made noise to.his solos are so well put together,i just look at this side of him as a balance to his perfectionist side.THANX AND RITCHY/PURPLE/RAINBOW/DIO/POWE­LL FOREVER

  • This isn't the best example of the man in black, but I saw him on this tour and his tone was to die for. Do Semour Duncan still make those quarter pounders? I think it was the later Battle Rages On tour when he used the white Marshalls and the tone was even better. At this point I was more or less oblivious to what Gillan et al were up to - I was so focused on this guy. Ritchie - come back, the rock world awaits you!
