@MadJohnEscapes I happen to agree with you. Some of Yngwie's earlier stuff (first 3 albums) was pretty good, but it's so obvious that he's a Blackmore knock off! Every modern rock guitarist owes much of their style to Ritchie, and in my opinion, he will always be king. No surpirse that some of my favorites take much from him. (Mark Reale, Criss Oliva, Ronnie Montrose.)

What is that horrible shit @ 2:10 right after Ian Paice talked about not making crap trendy music just for the money? It wasn't Deep Purple... must have been some '80s hair band.

"Accidently on Purpose"? Never heard.

Yngwie Malmsteen is great at what he does, but he has ripped off Blackmore in some ways. It's not so much his playing, which sounds more like Michael Schenker on amphetamines, but the way he's chosen to present himself, and his insistence on working with ex-Rainbow people - Bonnet, Turner, White, Cozy, etc. He even claims to be an Abba fan, and Blackmore's been saying that for decades.

Gillan looks like a hitman,and he is talking utter rubbish

got to love Jon at 1:33 "He He He"
-
finally a good perspective on making music - DO IT FOR THE MUSIC NOT THE MONEY. Good job Ian & Ian... throw his plectrum 100ft rofl

@lamentfly You mean, WOMAN....... : )
I know I'm probably gonna get loads of "thumbs down" for this but I totally agree with Gillian's assessment of Malmsteen. He's a showman, plain and simple. Though I don't suppose there's anything inherently wrong with that.....but......
its like petar8706 says "Blackmore is a great composer..." Yngwie can play great provided he has someone there to write the tunes for him. Good showman, but I hold writing/composition to be more important...and certainly more lasting.
