More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore
When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
Ritchie Blackmore
I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.
Ritchie Blackmore
When you're recording, if you're not really clean in your playing, it sounds like a mess.
Ritchie Blackmore
I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.
Ritchie Blackmore
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Ritchie Blackmore
I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
Ritchie Blackmore
One of the reasons I took up the guitar was I didn't want to speak to anybody. I really felt uncomfortable speaking to people, so I took the guitar up so I could hide behind it. I'm not comfortable explaining things, because my brain doesn't work that way.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
Ritchie Blackmore
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
Ritchie Blackmore
When something is not good, it's bad. Period
Ritchie Blackmore
In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
Ritchie Blackmore
I'm very moved by Renaissance music, but I still love to play hard rock - though only if it's sophisticated and has some thought behind it.
Ritchie Blackmore
The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.
Ritchie Blackmore
The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
Ritchie Blackmore
I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
Ritchie Blackmore
I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.
Ritchie Blackmore
Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.
