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.
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.
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 !!!
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 !
There's an interview with Bob Daisley where he tells this story. Actually someone noticed Erik was getting red in the face so they got him down and asked if he was okay, and he replied "yeah, I was just trying to shit on Cozy". Allegedly the guy on the ferry was also him.
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.
@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 ?
***** Kevin, reading your comment six months on does not lessen its worth as truly a comment far and beyond other comments. What is more frightening, though, is that Roy is not of the understanding of floatation, international travel, combustion engines, drugs and ferries.
,,,,..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,,,,
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.
He's telling a story about how Ritchie laced a tour manager (who pissed him off's) drink and took all the tour managers clothes off and put him on a ferry to iceland.
What I know is quite an easy conclusion upon reading several interviews and biographies of people that shared stage with him over the years among other things. Maybe you should research more your idol before making these low assumptions. As I said before, I highly appreaciate his work with Purple and Rainbow, but I can separate my love from his work and his personality, a thing that you, my hotblooded fellow youtube user, can't do.
@hippiedp Richie Blackmore got a guy who was making him angry. He got him an alcoholic drink with some sleeping tablets in it. When the man woke back up, they had put him a locked car with no clothes and no means of identification on a boat going to iceland. Ok?
If he was American, he'd have a yank accent and still be awesome. Bear this in mind: He set out to make Motorhead the British MC5. MC5 were American. A lot of the rock n' roll he cut his teeth on was American. I know it's cool to hate our buddies from over the pond, but please give it a rest, some poor sod might think we all hold those views.
that practical joke could have been disastrous, there's the chance of a "mickey" killing someone, there's the chance of hypothermia if the guy spent too much time passed out without heat... i couldn't help think about bon scott while listening to this.
I wasn't discrediting him, i merely said i believe it was dio who made them great. No hate on Ritchie he is great and his musical writing ability is fantastic but I just doubt that band would have been the same without Dios amazing vocals. Songwriting is important but when you listen to rainbow you are immediately taken in by the first thing you hear which is usually Ronnies famous voice. But of course that may just be me since im a 'blinded fanboy' and all.

The way Lemmy tells his stories make them more hilarious!
Ritchie Blackmore has got to be the epitome of The Guitar Hero a devilish streak and a maestro of the instrument. Hail Ritchie!!
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!
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.
Did you have the picture of him playing football with you all?

Richie a living legend ✨
Great story about the evil genius Ritchie Blackmore. Very thorough

He and the rest of the band drunk in my local for years. He was such a lovely man. So laid back
Awesome, just don't piss him off 😂

Blackmore was the epitome of a rockstar. lived up to the reputation and had the talent to back it up
Ritchie Blackmore the god of guitar , the best ever . He will always be the best
Even in his pranks, Ritchie is a genius!
RIP Lemmy
If life gives you Lemmy, you make Lemmynade.

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.
Ritchie is the best, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
God, I love Youube. Almost as people who can't spell... ans those who misss wods
Rest in Peace my dear bastard!
He is not dead, why do you say that?
@@michaelcraig9449 It's about Lemmy.
Certainly the most wunderbar video you will ever find on YT.
That's our Ritchie all right, Cheers !!!
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

Well, ain't that whats being an artist all about??
You gotta make yourself noticed by your work.
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.
Another evidence showing Ritchie's out-of-this-world genious.
Lemmy tells great stories about other musicians: just watch what he thought about the voice of original AC DC singer, just equally hilarious!
The guy was Ian Gillan's friend btw. That's what started the Gillan/Blacmore war.
episodes like the one lemmy describes are rather few compared to episodes of musicians getting ripped off.
@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 ?
I'm just trying to imagine what Lemmy would say to Sarah Palin and it's just making my day happy.
Giving it back is great.
Yeah, save that for my class on the Rocka Rolla side, pls? : )
greatest thing i have ever heard in my life.
this beautiful :)) Just seeing Lemmy not giving a darn and hoping it's true :)) brilliant
@QueenReigns1 LA connection was written for the keyboard player in rainbow at that time i heard that from Ronnie Dio.
"I hope it's true...Cuz it should be." lmao Classic
i just love this guy
Starts @ 0:30
ritchie is the best!!
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.
"wunderbar" :D:D
when my dad lived in london he went to the same after-hours club as lemmy
Imagine the trouble Blackmore and Moon would have gotten up to.
and god created icelandic women!!!! lucky bastard..
0.39 -Whats julio isglassyarse doin with Ritchie's guitar ?
Hello from Iceland
I miss so mouch this man
I don't understand. The car was going to Iceland, it had no keys in it, but who was driving the car?
Oh. I didn't know what a ferry was. I'm not a native english speaker.
roy levanony
LOL, good answer Roy. Nice reversal.
***** Now that is awesome sir!
The car was on a Ferry, the Ferry was going to Iceland, someone drove the car on to the Ferry then left with the keys. Sounds fair enough to me.
***** Kevin, reading your comment six months on does not lessen its worth as truly a comment far and beyond other comments. What is more frightening, though, is that Roy is not of the understanding of floatation, international travel, combustion engines, drugs and ferries.
Best story I ever heard
never piss off the rock god :)
What show is this from... sounds like the same people who did David Beckham's Soccer USA.

I was in pain, laughing from this. 😂
do we have any corroboration on this?
Can anybody explain the story ? I do not come from Britain or USA and I cannot understand exactly what Lemmi said.
is there any way to get verification of this story?
Brilliant!
That is... thorough!
,,,,..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,,,,
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.
@daveaw69
Yanks have presley? Buddy we also got Hendrix, Leslie West and Dio, to name a few
God that's just genius!
Do not fuck with Mr. Blackmore, ever.
does anyone know if this is true ??
who was the tour manager ? When was this ? etc. ?
Can someone tell me in short what Lemmy says? I can read and understand English, but it's difficult to me understand everything by ear.
He's telling a story about how Ritchie laced a tour manager (who pissed him off's) drink and took all the tour managers clothes off and put him on a ferry to iceland.
***** Lol... Thanks!
No problem :)
That's partially right :).. but the victim was Tony Carey, Rainbow keyboard player... Dio was very angry about that
What I know is quite an easy conclusion upon reading several interviews and biographies of people that shared stage with him over the years among other things. Maybe you should research more your idol before making these low assumptions.
As I said before, I highly appreaciate his work with Purple and Rainbow, but I can separate my love from his work and his personality, a thing that you, my hotblooded fellow youtube user, can't do.
don't worry... cause someone told them that it's ok to think like that
is it neccessary for a 30 second intro
@hippiedp Richie Blackmore got a guy who was making him angry. He got him an alcoholic drink with some sleeping tablets in it. When the man woke back up, they had put him a locked car with no clothes and no means of identification on a boat going to iceland. Ok?

That mutton chop on lemmy makes him more look like an indian maharaja :D
Thanks. Now I got it.
"Wonderful in its malice" .... let's take another drink mate....
There are MANY reasons why i love Ritchie Blackmore...this is just one of them! hahahahaahahaha
you mentioned that bon died from an alcohol binge, my question was how do you know this tour manager wasn't drinking alcohol?
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".
@austintxlivemusic Nice story! This should be thumbbed up and get top comment, not the usual bullshit about what happened to the dislikers...
RIP you god damn legend
Show me ONE
how do you know ?
We do eat porridge. But not, to my knowledge, liver pie. We have other alternative disgusting dishes though.
that practical joke could have been disastrous, there's the chance of a "mickey" killing someone, there's the chance of hypothermia if the guy spent too much time passed out without heat...
i couldn't help think about bon scott while listening to this.
Well....he left England and is happy living in L.A. pal. What's that tell you?
Lemmy is God!
Hail Blackmore!
@ArpeggioBear So true - let's not forget Heavy Metal is a British invention, not to mention Punk!
That's definitely check mate
Wunderbar :-)))
The ace of spades on the silver mountain
great!
Ritchie Blackmore,,Iceland Trip ,,is True,,What Lemmy is Stating is Correct....
I wasn't discrediting him, i merely said i believe it was dio who made them great. No hate on Ritchie he is great and his musical writing ability is fantastic but I just doubt that band would have been the same without Dios amazing vocals.
Songwriting is important but when you listen to rainbow you are immediately taken in by the first thing you hear which is usually Ronnies famous voice.
But of course that may just be me since im a 'blinded fanboy' and all.
🤡
i am going to do this at my next house party!!!
nice gear behind him
hahah , love lemmy , love richie
fucking classic
Classic.
The thing is that if you like heavy metal you will probably think that blackmore is a god, but if you just love hard rock... not necesarily.
