ritchie was not only a huge influence to ed van halen, yngwie and many others..but he was also responsible for cascading pre amps in old marshalls which IMO inspired van alen....he also could wipe the floor technically with anybody in his path in that late 60's early 70's ..a great ball breaker that could back it up
in the last 30 years i`ve met ritchie several times and he was ALWAYS extremely polite and a nice person to talk to - never ever refusing an autograph when asked for and even asking me to join playing football. he´s the greatest in my opinion!
@@brianhammer5107Anyone that is any good is hard to work with. Ritchie spent time I jail for kicking a Security Guard because the Guard knocked the hell out of a young girl trying to get close to see the greatest guitarist with Hendrix to Perform on Stage. There is the Concert in Munich 77 that didn't start until 2:30 am because Ritchie was being driven after he got out of jail to the Venue. When you watch it Ritchie was very calm. He played well but he was his normal spontaneous self. So he was pretty good to take up for her. The Security Guard ended up being the owner of the Venue. They tried to sneak Ritchie out but got caught.
The "victim" in this story is (was) Erik Thomsen, a legendary Danish promoter over 40 years (also known as E.T. because he looked a bit like E.T.) and Ritchie did some other practical jokes on him as Bob Daisley told in the DVD "Rainbow live in Munich 1977" ; unfortunately, he passed away in May 2006.
Ritchie Blackmore and his practical jokes were always first class, he along with Cozy Powell sealing Tony Carey's hotel room brick by brick for example or he and his bandmates sans Joe Lynn Turner sneaking into the orchestra pit throwing tomatoes at him eventually leading Turner to berate the French audience lol! I hope that Iceland joke was true too!!
I thought he was amazing. The city I grew up in didn't have a rock station worthy of an audience so I ran my antenna wire to the roof and picked up KLOL in Houston 90 miles away. I was only 13. They had a really cool DJ name Crash in the 70s. It was hit or miss on the reception, but that is when I 1st discovered real rock music. Deep Purple immediately went into my record collection which eventually encircled all four walls in my bedroom stacked two rows high. The good ole days. Rock on.
In 1986 a young bird working @ McD's Staines had a one night stand with Lemmy. The following day she said she was amazed how small he was and it lasted less than 2 minutes. She said she hadnt even started before he'd finished. 100% true story !!!
Loads of stories on Ritchie out there, some of the stories (not mentioned in this video) e.g. of Ritchie opening the door of other band members dressing rooms and farting strongly, laughing about it then shutting the door surely can't be true, or that story he put old kippers in Ian Paice's bass drum and he complained of a foul smell for about a week before he finally found them, is it true? So many stories out there, they can't possibly all be true! Ritchie is a fantastic player, seems genuine person though I'm sure doesn't suffer fools or people that can't keep up musically.
Hey, Ebeneezer. I don't usually read comments because of the kind of comment this was in reply to, but I couldn't help but notice this one. Thanks for posting it,I got a smile out of it. I just wanted you to know that someone out there appreciated it. Actually, I had been feeling like shit about something when I read this, and it helped me feel better. Thank you-I mean it. Take care of yourself, ok? And rock on :)
It was at a Rainbow concert in Paris, France in 1977, where the roadies hung the european promoter naked over the audience ! I wasn't there but the Magazine BEST (or was it Rock'nFolk ?) published a photo of it !
Sir you are absolutly correct, Blackmore does rule, and I apologize for the harsh comment. As for my research, type in; "Rock Family Trees, Deep Purple". It is a 5 part series of the formation of Deep Purple and through the years passed. Very informative.
Something to see Lemmy smiling. I used to see him all the time hanging out at the Rainbow on Sunset Bl. and he had this permanent scowl on his face as he played the pacman game upstairs. Maybe somebody slipped him a Mickey b4 the interview.
@Saturnlead Look dude, I never said I hate Blackmore. The guy is the most under-rated, amazing musician in rock. After seeing Deep Purple on the Perfect Stranger's tour, my buddy & I never said a word to each other for hour's. We were fucking blown away! The guy's unbelievable. So is the rest of the band. BUT, he has said and done some pretty stupid shit in the past. But I guess we all have. Right ?
,,,,..Its something to do with a confrontations he had with security during concerts with Rainbow, in Austria,durying a euro tour when Dio & Cozy was with him,in the late 1970's,,and there where delays durying the tour,,the delays,,Iceland solo tour,,,,,see how you go maybe contacting,,,lemmy on his site,,,,

Ritchie Blackmore has got to be the epitome of The Guitar Hero a devilish streak and a maestro of the instrument. Hail Ritchie!!
The way Lemmy tells his stories make them more hilarious!

that's good for you, but he is a capricious person who has acted like a real bastard to fans some times - you caught him on a good day

@@kurtsherrick2066 completely untrue - many, many great artists are very easy to work with
@@kurtsherrick2066 I disagree. There are many great artists that are easy to work with and easy to deal with off stage as well.
Richie a living legend ✨

Rest in Peace my dear bastard!
Even in his pranks, Ritchie is a genius!
Great story about the evil genius Ritchie Blackmore. Very thorough
RIP Lemmy

There are MANY reasons why i love Ritchie Blackmore...this is just one of them! hahahahaahahaha

If life gives you Lemmy, you make Lemmynade.
Ritchie is the best, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He and the rest of the band drunk in my local for years. He was such a lovely man. So laid back
Wonderful ...unless you are on the receiving end .
Blackmore is a god!
As a guitarist, yes. As a human being, no.
***** after what lemmy said nobody has the right to call blacmore a "human being" :P
he's just a god! :P
i just love this guy
That's our Ritchie all right, Cheers !!!
Certainly the most wunderbar video you will ever find on YT.
Ritchie Blackmore the god of guitar , the best ever . He will always be the best
Giving it back is great.
Brilliant!
greatest thing i have ever heard in my life.
this is gold...

Even is that _was_ true, who gives a fuck? Mind your own business you gossiping queen.
pinkmullet4 Its a fact pinkbentshot. Deal with it !!
Neutral Observer.
A lot of people go to McDonald's after drinking all night long. That might have had something to do with it.
Best story I ever heard

Please let that kipper story be true..
@@tested211 Ha ha, that bass drum would never be the same, the smell would probably stay in the wood.
That is... thorough!
ritchie is the best!!
RIP you god damn legend
great!
God, I love Youube. Almost as people who can't spell... ans those who misss wods

Well, ain't that whats being an artist all about??
You gotta make yourself noticed by your work.
Another evidence showing Ritchie's out-of-this-world genious.
Thanks. Now I got it.
I'm just trying to imagine what Lemmy would say to Sarah Palin and it's just making my day happy.
Lemmy tells great stories about other musicians: just watch what he thought about the voice of original AC DC singer, just equally hilarious!
this beautiful :)) Just seeing Lemmy not giving a darn and hoping it's true :)) brilliant
Wunderbar :-)))
"wunderbar" :D:D
The funniest man ever!
and god created icelandic women!!!! lucky bastard..
Classic.
"I hope it's true...Cuz it should be." lmao Classic
brilliant damn funny
when my dad lived in london he went to the same after-hours club as lemmy
Lemmy in 2012!!
It was at a Rainbow concert in Paris, France in 1977, where the roadies hung the european promoter naked over the audience ! I wasn't there but the Magazine BEST (or was it Rock'nFolk ?) published a photo of it !
episodes like the one lemmy describes are rather few compared to episodes of musicians getting ripped off.
That mutton chop on lemmy makes him more look like an indian maharaja :D
hahah , love lemmy , love richie
fucking classic
never piss off the rock god :)

That's Rock'n'Roll :D
i am going to do this at my next house party!!!
Yeah, save that for my class on the Rocka Rolla side, pls? : )
The ace of spades on the silver mountain
The guy was Ian Gillan's friend btw. That's what started the Gillan/Blacmore war.
damn.
LMFAO!!! Ritchie got that guy back soo fucking good!!!
Imagine the trouble Blackmore and Moon would have gotten up to.
don't worry... cause someone told them that it's ok to think like that
👍👍
That's definitely check mate
nice gear behind him
Something to see Lemmy smiling. I used to see him all the time hanging out at the Rainbow on Sunset Bl. and he had this permanent scowl on his face as he played the pacman game upstairs. Maybe somebody slipped him a Mickey b4 the interview.
bon scott was totally drunk and fell asleep in a friend's car,
he choked because he vomited while asleep and it blocked his air tubes.

Madonna santa, Ritchie, what did you do?🤣
Only in your whirled.
@QueenReigns1 LA connection was written for the keyboard player in rainbow at that time i heard that from Ronnie Dio.
Ritchie Blackmore,,Iceland Trip ,,is True,,What Lemmy is Stating is Correct....
@ArpeggioBear So true - let's not forget Heavy Metal is a British invention, not to mention Punk!
We do eat porridge. But not, to my knowledge, liver pie. We have other alternative disgusting dishes though.
God that's just genius!
Do not fuck with Mr. Blackmore, ever.
,,,,..Its something to do with a confrontations he had with security during concerts with Rainbow, in Austria,durying a euro tour when Dio & Cozy was with him,in the late 1970's,,and there where delays durying the tour,,the delays,,Iceland solo tour,,,,,see how you go maybe contacting,,,lemmy on his site,,,,

@ArpeggioBear 100% agree
Lemmy is God!
Hail Blackmore!
"Thorough" :)
@ArpeggioBear pretty much true.
If that is true, I just died of laughter!
Fucking awesome HAHA!
is there any way to get verification of this story?
I don't think that I've ever heard an interview with Lemmy where he hasn't said "I don't care who you are".
thats the first time i've seen lemmy without a cigarette in his hand
Lunatic!
1:09 ferry to Iceland .-)
& Keith Richards
@aaaarrrgggghh porello...
RITCHIE BLACKMORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Show me ONE
"I hope its true....cause it should be"
Maybe that's where the Silicon Valley writers got the inspiration to send Jared on an island with a self-driving car.
@austintxlivemusic Nice story! This should be thumbbed up and get top comment, not the usual bullshit about what happened to the dislikers...
