The British guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is the founders of Deep Purple, band that became one of the most important in the history of Hard Rock music. The musician was part of the group from 1968 to 1975 and from 1984 to 1993. He also was successful with his own band Rainbow, especially in the late 70s and early 80s. Over the decades many of his peers gave their opinion on his playing. One of them was the late legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen.
WHAT WAS EDDIE VAN HALEN’S OPINION ON RITCHIE BLACKMORE?
It’s not surprising that Ritchie Blackmore was a big inspiration for Eddie Van Halen, since the British musician created many fast guitar riffs and solos. He influenced countless generations of musicians that would later on be known for their speed and technique.
Talking with Billboard magazine in 2015, Van Halen revealed which his favorite guitar riffs of all time. One of them was the one in the classic Deep Purple song “Burn”, released on the album of the same name released in 1974. It was the first one to feature singer David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes.
But it wasn’t just the Blackmore riffs that Van Halen admired. The musician said in a conversation with Rolling Stone in 2011 that he also liked the vibrato bar used by the musician. “Ritchie Blackmore I liked because of his vibrato bar use on ‘Deep Purple in Rock’ (1970). Also, they come out with great riffs. I mean, come on, ‘Smoke on the Water’ is one for the history books.”
In an interview with Classic Rock magazine in 1978, when Van Halen had just released their successful debut album, Eddie already had praised Blackmore, saying that he was the one that got him “hooked on the whammy bar”.
There are many videos that show Eddie playing Deep Purple riffs in the backstage and at his famous studio 5150.
HE HAD A STRANGE FIRST MEETING WITH BLACKMORE ALONGSIDE GARY MOORE AND DON AIREY

Curiously, the first time Eddie Van Halen had the chance to meet Ritchie Blackmore he was accompanied by the also legendary guitarist Gary Moore.
Airey, who is currently Deep Purple’s keyboard player, recalled in an interview with Mulatschag TV back in 2020 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage) that he arranged that meeting when he was a member of Rainbow.
“There was once when Gary Moore first went to L.A he befriended with Eddie because for the first time in his life he had someone that seriously frightened him. They came to a Rainbow gig at Long Beach. And they both looked so young, especially Eddie.”
“Eddie wanted to meet Richie. I suddenly saw Richie coming and I said ‘Hey Richie! I want you to meet two people. This is Gary Moore and this is Eddie Van Halen’. Richie kind of stormed off (laughs). I don’t know what he thought. (That maybe) I was trying to set him up or something,” Don Airey said.
WHAT RITCHIE BLACKMORE SAID ABOUT VAN HALEN

Ritchie Blackmore was not a big fan of the “tapping” as he told Guitar World magazine in 1991 but he said Eddie saying he was probably the most influential player in the last 15 years. Eddie started the “tapping” movement without his intention. Everything started after the first Van Halen album that led almost all Hard Rock guitarists started copying his technique.
After Van Halen’s death at age of 65 back in 2020, Ritchie Blackmore released an statement saying that the Dutch guitarist changed the guitar and was the “ultimate guitar hero”.
“Eddie Van Halen was a brilliant guitarist who started a technique of guitar playing which was emulated by a whole generation of guitarists”.
“He was one of the nicest musicians I ever met in the music business. Very shy and not at all conceited about his ability as a guitar player. Frank Zappa said he reinvented the guitar. I agree. He will be sadly missed. But his brilliant legacy will always be remembered. The ultimate guitar hero,” Ritchie Blackmore said.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Members Discuss Deal With METAL BLADE, JESSE LEACH's Vocal Cord Surgery (Video)
RARE BLACK METAL COLLECTIBLES
Mulatschag TV conducted an interview with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE members Jesse Leach (vocals) and Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar) at Austria's Nova Rock festival, which was held this past weekend. You can now watch the chat below. A couple of excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). On KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's new record deal with Metal Blade Records: Adam: "We got a lot of great offers [from] a lot of great people. But at the end of the day, Metal Blade has been friends for years. It's not even like we looked at them as a record label; we looked at them as guys that we respect and get along with, and we drink with them and hang out with them. So it almost feels more like family — it's like a family vibe instead of all business. It's kind of cool." Jesse: "I feel like they get us — they get us, they get where we wanna go, they have ideas for us, and they have our backs. And like [Adam] said, they feel like friends; it's not just business. It's linking up with people that we enjoy being around that have showed faith. Yeah, it's a great thing." On former KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Howard Jones's contribution to the band's upcoming album: Jesse: "We got him on one song. I wrote a song specifically for him in mind, 'cause him and I hit it off fairly recently. He came out to a show in Canada and I had a chance to talk to him one on one, and we just realized how much we had in common. So I started getting the ball rolling in my head. I thought it would be great for him to come on a song — just to show the fans we're all friends, it's family, it's all good. For all the nonsense that goes on the Internet, we just wanna squash it and let everyone know we're cool. We love Howard, and Howard's new band, LIGHT THE TORCH, is awesome. So it's all good. So he'll be on one song, and we're stoked on that song." On Jesse's recent vocal cord surgery: Jesse: "[I'm doing] better than ever. I feel like I'm singing better than I ever have. I think that that surgery was a blessing in disguise. I had a lot of damage over the years. Then I went in and did a lot of training with [vocal coach] Melissa Cross, learning how to sing properly and place my voice properly and place my screams properly. It's been a game changer. I'm stoked. I feel good." On how he got in touch with Cross: Jesse: "I worked with her back in, like, 2001, when I first started having issues. But I didn't really take it seriously till I got back with these guys. Her lessons are very interesting, and she evolves as a teacher. I feel like where she's at right now just clicked with me. So I feel like this time around, I'm actually understanding what I'm supposed to be doing properly. It's great. Even my speaking voice — just making sure it's in the right place." On the first moment he realized he was doing something wrong with his voice: Jesse: "I've known that for years. I'd come off stage and spit blood. I just knew every night… I was, like, 'Oh, I don't know. I don't know.' So, I've basically been working on a broken instrument for many, many years. So it's been a long time coming." Other than the band's 2000 debut self-titled LP, which came out through Ferret, all of KILLSWITCH's recorded output so far has been issued through Roadrunner Records. The group's first release under the Metal Blade deal — and eighth album overall — will arrive in 2019. The follow-up to 2016's "Incarnate" will mark KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's third full-length effort since the return of Leach, who rejoined the group in 2012. Leach appeared on KILLSWITCH's self-titled debut and sophomore album, "Alive Or Just Breathing", before exiting the band. Jones took over on vocals for "The End of Heartache", "As Daylight Dies" and the 2009 self-titled set before being dismissed from the group six years ago.
