I learned more about Ritchie in this interview than I learned in the last 50 years of being a fan.
-
No one talks about how funny Ritchie is. Love his ironic delivery. 😁
-
strange as he is , I think Ritchie is completely honest in everything he says. He doesn't seem capable of sugar coating anything or exaggerating. He just lays it out there and doesn't care how he comes off. I respect that. And he's a brilliant guitarist too. But y'all already knew that

Grew up listening to Ritchie Blackmore, today I am 51 years old and he still remains my all time fav guitarist. I loved every minute of this interview, he is what he is.....honest, hard working and always followed his instinct.
-
Ritchie has done what most dream of doing, he's followed his own instincts and did things the way he wanted and has been very successful doing it. He really is a unique intensely gifted musician with an extremely dry sense of humor.
-
Pretty rare hearing Ritchie speaking about his career like this. Really enjoyed it - thanks!
-
Gillan amazed me. How hard they worked in those days, thrashing his voice w/ everything he had every other night. Its toll was apparent in most, but gillan, it never seemed to affect him. Definitely among the most indestructible rock vocalists ever.
-
I love how he gave his other band members credit for what they wrote or did. His honesty about himself good or bad. Great interview!
-
Refreshing. He is unique and intelligent and someone you could never find boring.

Thats the most ive heard ritchie say in my entire 52 year life! And ive been studying ritchie since i was a kid... Thank you!!!

Good to see that Ritchie values his early classical music lessons. He says they only lasted a year but gave him a good basics in music and obviously influenced his style for the rest of his life. After the lessons he says he practised 8 hours a day because he loved the guitar so much. That's the sort of committent you need to get good. And if you've got a sprinkle of star dust you become great.

Wow!! 30 minutes true pleasure!! A joy!!
-
Ritchie is one of the most identifiable guitarists of his generation.I still enjoy his guitar work from his vast catalogue.
-
Ahhh! the original BBC radio Alexis Corner interview! I had this on tape... great stuff :)
-
Ritchie is an exceptionally talented musician with a music courrier spanning several decades. His dedication to the instrument is phenomenal and his ability to switch between rock ,classical and folk is rare . Ritchie has been an inspiration to millions of guitarists here in India as well ,who along with his virtuoso playing style also try to emulate his grumpy ,eccentric and irratic behavior. Ritchie is surely one of those rare irreplaceable stars who will live forever.

Best rock guitarist in history. Easily
-
I love it .......don't call me a folk guitarist.......today he's a folk guitarist.
-

Ritchie is the Mosart of Rock Riffs. 🎼🎶🎶🎸

I like my moody image too. Maybe that's why I like Ritchie so much
