  • they areboth great artists....each one on his grounds....astonising.......!!­!!!!!!!!!!..its just that gillan is f..ing handsome......no ceriously they are giants.........

  • Gillan's a tool. An " intellectual dwarf " couldn't have possible written so much amazing music for him to screech to. Blackmore isn't a " giant " among guitar players. He's a fucking bohemoth.

  • so is blackmore joking or not

  • @Rorschachxx1985 according Jon Lord, one night, after the show, Ritchie really tried to smash Gillan's head with his guitar.maybe here Ritchie told exactly about this night.

  • blackmore and DIO match made in heaven

  • Gillan was a great hard rock singer at one point, but Blackmore is a legend.

  • Blackmore is a nutcase.

  • Blackmore is a genius!!! period

  • You don't get to be the best heavy rock band of all time - along with UFO - without a bit of turbulence. It may be melodic, but it's still turbulent music. This was a sad phase, though, because Battle Rages On is an exceptional album.

  • heard an interview w/ glen hughes years ago.he said tommy bolin asked him 'why didnt you get rid of him 2 alblums ago.answer was lord and paice usually relented to his more forceful personality.lets face it burn was the last really substantial work he did with dp.would have been gr8 to see what gilian could have done in a lineup w/ hughes and bolin as he appreciated some more funkier styles as blackmore called it 'shoeshine music".

  • Blackmore's a demented asshole, but he sure can play his axe!

  • Blackmoore is a genius guitarists but has a shitty character...look at the great synergy between Ian and Steve Morse!

  • ät snö;()

  • ha ha he he he

  • Gillan is a complete dwarf, compared to Blackmore... Gillan killed DP with the actual weak mark VIII line-up... They should stop andd reform the Mark III WITH Glover on bass... So some kind of a Mark IX, but again a great band, not those pathetic freaks that tour nowadays!!

  • @nosferatu49 You cant reform Mk 3 without Glenn It wouldnt work

  • @dirmo77 No one would want to.Let's face it,hughes SUCKS!

  • @nosferatu49 This is crap. Only one who destroyed DP was Blackmore and him medieval things. I think if he stayed longer it would have gone completely to hell. And I do not think that would be returned Coverdale. He has got Whiteske....

  • Im going to attack ian gillan in the back alley

    Hes bigger than me, he probally a better fighter

    So I'm going to do it with a few friends of mine, probally swedish

    And we will beat him up

    But he wont know its me >:)

    -----Classic Blackmore lol------

  • @SS67B1 maybe Gillan is a better fighter than Blackmore, but Blackmore is armed.

  • @juniorjenova lol, i found this whole video so humorous but its really a shame how Deep Purple mk2 separated, maybe a reunion like sabbath just did will occur. That would be the best news EVER!

  • @SS67B1 when i saw this from the first time,i was like:"Ritchie, are you serios?".i mean, he said that with 100% serios fase and i was sure that this was true?!?!about the reunion.i heard that will be reunion with Blackmore, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and METALLICA's drummer Lars Ulrich.kind of alternate DEEP PURPLE.

  • @juniorjenova why would Coverdale leave Whitesnake? and why would paice not be there cause he plays with the band still cause i saw him in June with DP, and why would lars leave matallica ?????!!!! that seems sooo effed up and untrue no offence

  • @SS67B1 actually, this is an old rumour, i heard about that few years ago,and i'm glad that is just a rumour.

  • @juniorjenova AMEN!

  • I don't buy Gillan's dig that Ritchie's an "intellectual dwarf" -- Blackmore has too clever a sense of humor.

  • If he's taking swedes with him he'll definetly get his ass kicked! HAha

  • Blackmore is a great guitarist and Gillan is a great vocalist.

  • Asshole Gillan! Without Ritchie Blackmore now none of us would know who the fuck you are!

  • Gillan! You are an asshole and a fucking idiot!

  • Richie fucking rocks

  • Did Ritchie ever beat up Ian with his sweedish friends?

  • In all the interviews or whatever I've seen with Ritchie he comes across as just a good dude.

  • @rockisbast he's an intellectual dwarf

  • So Blackmore didn't want to fight Gillan on his own? Pussy!

  • i agree with RB, i'm a guitarist in a band and my singer acts like a fucking asshole sometimes i just want to punch him!

  • Ritchie's looking rather like a twin brother of Carmine Appice here.

  • ian on ritchie: "he's an intellectual dwarf"

    and now he's playing with the elves.. lol

    all respect to them both - you gotta love these two

  • Gillan is a pissant's pissant like all great rock singers. Totally insignificant off stage his entire life.

    Blackmore is living in la-la land like all great rock guitarists. A fairly significant cat musically, aside from Purple.

    Thank god these two miscreants came together for a moment in time to create some of the most epic and original rock music ever recorded.

  • @musiccalgary

    They were just as responsible for heavy metal as Sabbath, and they were better.

  • @VegitoVai90 No they weren't. You are on glue.

  • @musiccalgary

    That ain't me. Blackmore was the first guitarist to really incorporate classical into hard rock, which thousands upon thousands of metal bands took from. Purple were also at one point the loudest band on the planet, Ian Gillan screamed louder than anyone at the time. Metallica and Iron Maiden were just as influenced by them as Sabbath, according to Lars Ulrich and Bruce Dickinson, so yeah.

  • @VegitoVai90 You are on glue if you think classical music would not have gotten promptly added to hard rock anyhow had Blackmore never existed. You've got cock on the brain son.

    Furthermore volume has no bearing on quality. You are the loudest prick on this comment page for example -- but you still haven't got a fucking clue mate. You're on glue.

  • @musiccalgary

    I'm the loudest prick on this page? You're the only one here who's being a prick to anyone, and I'm not your mate, ass. No shit it would have been incorporated anyway, music evolves. Had Nirvana never existed rock would have still gone alternative in the 90's. Pretty basic. I'm just giving credit where credit is due, which you are not, that Blackmore was the FIRST. And I'd rather have a cock in my brain, than up my ass.

  • @VegitoVai90 Nope, you're a prick. Just read your own response. Obvious... You are fabricating stuff because it's all you're capable of, I understand. Be well.

  • @musiccalgary

    Do you honestly have anything better to do with your life? I responded to you in the hopes of gaining another perspective, but the only thing you've accomplished is prove just how much of an obnoxious tool you are. I certainly hope you don't make first impressions with everyone this way.

  • @VegitoVai90 No offense but you're not exactly someone I'm looking to get into a discussion about life with. It would be a waste of time. Your mind is shut.

  • @musiccalgary

    "No offense"? You've been offensive the whole time! And I didn't say life, where'd you get that from!? I just wanted to hear your thoughts on Deep Purple and their influence on metal, at which point you told me I sniffed glue. And at the risk of you saying I'm on glue or a prick for the 10th time, I'm wondering, how exactly is my mind shut?

  • @VegitoVai90 You got my thoughts, then you attacked them... Because you are incapable of expanding your purview. :)

  • @N1x94 You are right body! but I respect Blackmore more than Gillan!

  • Fuck Gillan!! BLACKMORE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gillan is a ungrateful  cocksucker...

  • @dondiyogo nope : ) gillan is so cool vocalist, and sure blackmore is guitar guru

  • Prefer Ian's work with Naked Thunder, over Ritchie's with Slaves & Master's , that was all his doing & it sux. Naked Thunder has some great songs on it !

    Was really sad when opening up the Slaves tape & Ian's photo was absent & realising he wasn't in the band . He has a right to complain if he wasn't happy with the setlist, or songs on Nobody's Perfect.

    Ritchie is joking at the end , but once he wanted a punch on with Ian , after he thought he ruined his plate of food .

  • Self-deprecating brit humour. They fall out but can still joke about it - and themselves: 'I was a shit'..'No, I was the bigger shit'..'Look old boy, damn you, I was the ultimate and unassailable King of the Shits'.

  • Attack Ian in a back alley with a bunch of Swedish guys? Back alley attacks are better with Greek dudes...

  • i am going to attack ian gillan in the back alley lmao

  • he said he said,

    blah blah blah.

    I say it's a shame Deep Purple broke up

  • @VisualVVatcher Err-they got back together and are still going-without Blackmore of course.

  • ian looks like a womans body with his head lol

  • @kdjfnvjvd ???

  • @kdjfnvjvd The picture is squashed! Ian is quite Manl!y LOL

  • I think I would learn to play and like renaissance music if I was married to a godess like Candice Night. Hell I would even play Russian dance music if I was married to her.

  • @coolhandluke621 Sellout.........

  • @coolhandluke621 Hey,i did!! and she still regected me.!!!!!!!!

  • To ashatan69 Blackmore wears a wig for sure. Gillan has still his own hair even though he is old.

  • Hes an intulectual dwarf..

  • Do they still hate each other?

  • Blackmore is crazy. Just listen to his most current musical output.

  • @HOC666 i love blackmore's night lol

  • @guitarlad89

    Actually, I've grown to at least appreciate them a tad more since I post that ignorant comment. lol. I've been working at a record store here for about a month and a couple people have told me that Ritchie actually stops in the store once every few months and that I WILL end up meeting him. I hope they're not just jerking my chain!

  • @HOC666 Ritchie's current music rocks! he is doing it his way and they blend different tones, just as God blends the sun, the clouds,and a rainbow, do you think that happens by accident?

  • @MrBiglog2003

    If there were a god, DP Mk II or even the 2nd Rainbow line up WOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN UP. Nope, no God. ; )

  • @HOC666 nothing wrong with blackmore , he's done so well so he deserves to play what music he wants and say what he wants.

  • @HOC666 he is just doing what he likes at the moment

  • @topdog2328 Indeed, it seems so. Quite a character I guess.

    Blackmore becomes famous with the DP MkII. Dislikes the change with funk & soul influences, leaves DP.

    Forms Rainbow with Dio. Awesome lineup. Seemingly he dislikes "sword and sorcery" and Dio leaves.

    Returns to Deep Purple in 1984. Leaves in 1993.

    Rainbow Revival until 1997.

    Forms Blackmore Night.

    He does look very medieval with that thin moustache. Quite a character but a genious.

  • @wotajared 1993 - Blackmore leaves for the final time; 1994 - Steve Morse arrives; 2011 Morse and DP still playing, and playing, and playing...Any questions?

  • Final words on both part were FUCKING HILLARIOUS!!!! :DDDD

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @DuckPlumberThe2nd for sure Ian is drunken all the time....really funny man

  • @DuckPlumberThe2nd Ian is the bitch,he even admits it!! fucking sun-ruled leo thinks hes god of the universe!!

  • @burpsnfarts

    he is!

  • @DuckPlumberThe2nd fuck you

  • 2:22 LOOOOOOOOOOOL :D

  • @unlikeanyotherhuman I have heard the biggest arse is Axl Rose - and that I can definately agree on.

  • hahah funny :D:D

    I don't cear! They will always be the best band in my heart so I don't give a shit.

    Ian and Ritchie forever!

  • Ritchie should go play in traffic.

    No, I didn't say that.............yes I did.

  • You guys say that Richie was joking when he threaten Ian with the beating? perhaps.

    But anyway, Richie can go fuck himself...ha ha ha, I was only joking.

  • LOL

  • Ritchie looks like Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean).

    Ian looks a bit like Cary Grant.

    just thought i'd share....

  • @gilmourtheman Check out the live video of Burn and Mr. Bean is more obvious than ever.

  • I love Ian more

  • hahhahahahahaha!! "He's bigger than me, I'm gonna do it with a few friends of mine, probably swedish."

    It has to be Yngwie !

  • I wonder which one of them wears a wig? lol

  • lol he will beat ian gillan with some sweidish friends my god this guy is very funny

  • Randy Rhoads @ Eddie Van Halen blew you in the dirt ! I seen you play a few times ! 1 of your tour personal told me Nobody meets Ritchie please you are insecure ! I HOPE I AM AROUND WHEN YOU JUMP IAN YOU @ YOUR GOONS WILL GET YOUR ASS KICKED DIRTY FIGHTER !!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR NOT MAN ENOUGH TO FIGHT IN A RING!

  • i love ritchie

  • hahahahahah .....blackmore was jokin right guys? 

  • its the greatist shame in rock n roll who knows what they would have gone on to

    achieve if only there egos had not clashed we can only wonder==}}

  • @THENITEGHOST

    Is it pure coincidence that you say: "its the greatist shame in rock n roll who knows what they would have gone on to"?

    I remember a rockumentary a long time ago where Jon Lord spoke exactly (well, maybe not exactly) these words...

  • @MrColfan Your close enough. The brilliant music docu your thinking of is Rock Family Trees (originally aired on British TV BBC 2 1995).

    David.

  • Those digs, the intellectual dwarf thing and the back alley fight, they were obviously tongue in cheek... those guys really respect each other as artists, they just know they can't work together

  • 'A giant among guitar players but an intellectual dwarf!' Ha Ha thats bloody hysterical I think.

  • Ritchie and his black humor - nothing more. He's obviously fucking around, surprised everyone can't see that. Sure he was a bit of a prick but as he said "I can wipe the floor with most guitarists". Man's a genius.

  • seeing how Ritchie threatened Roger in his own home to join rainbow and how he said hes gonna jump Ian with some friends, it kinda shows hes a bit of an asshole.

  • @fodnis3 No he didn't threaten Roger, Ritchie was joking, it's his dry sense of humor.

  • @hodge157 Ah.

  • @hodge157 yeah, you are right (pls read his unauthorised bio)....

  • @fodnis3 Of course he's joking. By the way, very funny - "he's bigger than me I gonna do it with a frew friends of mine, probably swedish". LOL

  • @fodnis3 it was a joke you stupid

  • Makes me think of Spinal Tap (So does "Some Kind of Monster").

  • @Cianaodh1 Thank you indeed can I be a monster.

  • "No! I didn't say that! I didn't say that! ... yes, I did." lol

  • They act childish, but I still love both of them. Gillan and Blackmore are uniqe. Too bad it got to the point they could hardly share the stage anymore.

  • funny.. two brothers

  • Ha ha. Even with all their serious differences, they still have a sense of humour about each other. I don't think the MK2 (C) lineup would have survived much longer anyway even if Ritchie hadn't have exited stage left in '93. I love all of Purple's colourful career but for me the MK2 lineup had that little bit extra, probably caused by the tension between these two giants.

  • Ritchie has always been the Guitar God but Ian was very handsome and Purple is Purple with Coverdale, Purple with Coverdale and Purple with Coverdale!

  • He's not a monkey!!!! For Zeu's sake! I also liked Purple with Coverdale, but the sound of each MK was completely different to make any attempt of comparison.

  • "He's an intellectual dwarf... no, I didn't say that, he's insecure... I didnt say that, I didn't say that... Yes I did"

    LO- fuckin'- L

  • two faggots that want to fuck in the ass with each but dont want to admiit to it :D

  • @plotchickens Sounds like you'd know all about that man

  • @Lakota1067 no way!!!! i just know bitches when i hear them

  • he speaks like they had an affair! haahahahaha! Anyway, they are my best rock artists! These two! It makes sense why they couldn't stay in the same band together. Two kings in one kingdom.

  • he speaks like they had an affair! haahahahaha! Anyway, they are my best rock artists! These two! It makes sense why they couldn't stay in the same band together. Two kings in one kingdom.

  • Well so much for THAT reunion. . .

    I think it all worked out. When Ritchie left, he formed Rainbow. When Ian left, he formed GIllan. These were brilliant projects that gave the world some of the gave the world some of the greatest music ever written. Artists do what they need to do, and they don't always get along. . .

  • well what i wanna know is where is ritchie blackmore now? coz ian still pumping his stuff ,grt off ur high horse blackmore

  • @nzsweet7

    If Ritchie Blackmore would like to do something more commercial there would be any chance for him but he doesn't want to obviously.. it's not because no one want him any longer..

    so what you said is just a stupid kind of argumentation.

  • Blackmore has the best deadpan humor.

  • Gotta love Ritchie, what a classy guy. Love the clever tongue-in-cheek remarks. Had the great pleasure of meeting him just a few days ago... Love anybody who can speak their mind like that and display class and character at the same time! Kudos to you Ritchie!

  • why is ian waering a dress?

  • It's a sleeveless vest you moronic crud !

  • This i sjust Ritchie,s humour,unfortunatly the press and ppl on here think he,s serious!!I do know that he found Gillan,s alcoholic tendancies,losing his voice and forgetting the lyrics on stage drove Ritchie nuts towards the end.You have to remember he turned down millions to finish the tour,he could,nt bear being on stage with the guy anymore!Brilliant musician though and a real charecter!

  • YEA hes got 'monty python ' sence of humour... hes very funny guy.... in another clip check it..... '' yes i owes beathoven lots of money''........... lol

  • Yeah, of course Ritchie is joking. I'm sure some people did'nt get it and probably freaked out. lol

    Both are badasses, but Ritchie OWNS all.

  • it is sad that the greatest band on earth end up this way,but the greatest losers are the fans all over the world!

  • Ritchie was goofing on him

  • Swedish??!! wtf?

  • aw come on guys settle your differances we all would love to see a Classic Deep Purple show

  • was ritchie serious in the end? about beating him up?!!!

  • @thevacuumable

    No, Blackmore's got a very "dry" sense of humour, and if he thinks you believe he's serious, the funnier he'll think it is.

  • It's sad to understand that two great artists have failed to find common ground... But that's life. They are both great anyway... I am sure they still respect each other, at least I can feel that in what Ian is saying about Ritchie...

  • well, Gillan got his "Ritchie free" band - and for next 20 years they did nothing memorable, ok they did 1 relatively good song in '95.

    While Ritchie with Candice Night did some golden, maybe platinum albums

  • Let's get some friends and beat up Blackmore, and tell him it was Ian and his friends who did it.

    Na, wouldn't work anyway, just trying a little humour here.

  • Stupid idiot..they haven't been Ritchie free for 20 years..he left in 1993..work it out.

  • can you feel the love?!lol

  • ritchie in the end was hilarious

    "Probably Swedish"

  • @connordylanmclean swedish!! was he talking bout malmsteen?? hehe

  • I'm not sure who was more the intellectual dwarf, funny turn of phrase from Gillian, but that general sense of criticism can be aptly applied to DP in general, and is what kept them, in my mind, from being the musical peer of Tull, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Yes, and many others, which is not to say these other bands were necessarily intellectual giants.

  • @nightskytube

    I love all the bands you mention, but to say that Purple weren't their peer is just daft. You do know that Purple have sold roughly four time as many records as Sabbath, and three times as many as Tull, right?

  • you do realise that was sarcasm,right?lol.

  • This is hilarious!

  • "Probably swedish" Must be Yngwie.

  • @rockcastlemusic - > or maybe Roxette hahahahaha!!!!

  • @rockcastlemusic or ABBA!!!!!!!!!! (maybe Roxette) hahahaha

  • @rockcastlemusic :))) yngwie and ritchie i think have good understanding atleast that's what ritchie said in one interview

  • @rockcastlemusic I took bass lessons from beaver felton back in the day. Thats when I found out what a piece of work Yngwie is. When Yngwie became aware of wally voss's medical condition, he fired him...didn't even attend the funeral. real piece of work!

  • It seems some of the people involved in the Deep Purple/Rainbow camps are quite egotistical......mainly Dio and Blackmore. Get the hell over it. Two great musicians with obvious ego issues.

  • blackmores//////say what you will hes the mannnnnnnnnnnn

  • I love 'em both as musicians, but Ritchie is far more immature and egotistical.

    Ian is smarter and funnier.

  • Blackmore And Lord Are The Secret Ingredients On the Thing Called Deep Purple !! Blackmore is if not the best , one of the best guitar players(with AMAZING improvisation skills)...There Is No Deep Purple without him !! u can clearly see it ...noone has the amazing feel he got !!!

    Blackmore = Deep Purple

    Blackmore = Rainbow !!! Respect

  • Seems it should sorted in UFP 1

    Gillan : special ability ..writing killer lyrics on the tour bus bog. Bonus against Blind Men.

    Blackmore: can summon help from Weston-Super-Mare and bring John Cleese to engage Gillan in a pointless argument.

    Blackmore special weapon : "actually I've still got that Flare Gun"

  • Fuck Gillan, go Blackmore. I never even cared for Gillan.

    -Blackmore is a legend amongst musicians and has been a huge inspiration to many.

    -Gillan is an asshole.

  • Richie was always been an asshole,his head up his ass, plays mean guitar but very arrogant chap.

  • yeah, absolutely right!!!! Beatuful comment! I could'n believe that Ritchie can be that cheap. Beat smb.? Gosh, what a low class thing to do.

  • man just dont talk ok ?? u have no idea .... u have the right to shut your mouth . noob

  • Fucknut you can't spell or write a coherent sentence.If I want an opinion from a braindead moron I can always ask my dog.You have the right to suck my balls.

  • woot ?? u are still talking u brainless monkey ??why ?? please be silent and dont corrupt my ears with your bullshits ... u are useless when talking about music .get lost !! thnx

  • Vre malakismene.Xeris skata apo mousiki.Mila me sevasmo se kapoion pou xeri pio polla apo sena.Mathe na Agglika .Grafis san moimouli. Fuck you ,youdumb shit.Stick to listening to your crappy techno,or i'll come over to Greece and give some personal English tuition via my foot up your arse.Katalaves malaka?Milame yia Rock oxi laika.

  • LOL got no idea who you were replyin to but that was FREAKING FUNNY

  • spinal tap...

  • Ritchie you're so full of shit!

  • Ha ha it,s just Ritchie,s humour,you gotta remember when he finally left purple his playing was it,s best in years and Gilan was so drunk most nites he,d forget the words,so he just got fed up
