Actually I do enjoy him, I opened for him back in the 90's at a local venue, he was pretty much a twat, but Deep Purple has always been one of my favorite bands, except when Ritchie does stupid stuff like this.......

Well, you can argue that without Mr. Blackmore, shredders would not exist.Richie is the reason I play guitar![]()
Yeah he was and still is pretty much an uber-dick of a person lol. But, to his credit, he sorta admits it and is pretty up front on it. So, least he's honest? LolMad... just like any proper genius. Doesn't deduct from the fact that he comes across as an unmitigated tool and a proper "Richard"... But that is all part of the personality's persona.
Doesn't make him any better as a person but, yeah...Yeah he was and still is pretty much an uber-dick of a person lol. But, to his credit, he sorta admits it and is pretty up front on it. So, least he's honest? Lol
