Ritchie Blackmore kertoo mielipiteensä nykyään radiossa soivasta musiikista
Entisenä Deep Purple ja nykyiseltään Rainbow -kitaristina tunnettu Ritchie Blackmore on jakanut YouTube -kanavalleen videon, jossa hän kertoo intohimostaan musiikia kohtaan. Lyhyen videon aikana hän listaa menneiden aikojen musiikillisia lähteitä joista hän edelleen jaksaa innostua ja vertaa niitä nykyajan musiikkiin.
” I retain my passion for music by listening to old music from the 1500s and 1400s, listening to a few bands that I’ve become friends with in Germany, Czech, Finland and Sweden. They’re still playing the music that really excites me. I’m obsessed with that stuff. It was so organic. That music just grabs me. I obviously don’t listen to the radio in America where they’re playing the latest, whatever it is.
I feel like an old granddad complaining about the music they’re playing on the radio at the moment. I feel that back in the ’70s, when Eric Clapton was playing Cream and that stuff, it was thoughtful music.

I don’t hear good music from my point of view. It might be good music, but it’s not something I wanna hear. When the family all get into the truck and we go on a bit of a holiday, which probably is like 20 miles down the road, because I don’t like to travel, all I hear is maybe Taylor Swift or something. I find it hard to relate to that. But it’s not wrong. It’s the new generation wanting to hear that. That’s probably as great to them as The Beatles and Cream was and Jimi Hendrix was to me. So I can’t really complain, but I do like to complain, and I will complain. And I think the crap that they’re playing on the radio today is bloody awful.” Ritchie Blackmore
