REVIEWED
This is a 1 1/2 hour documentary on the man in black, Ritchie Blackmore. The documentary comprise of interviews with RB about the day he was born until present. It has all the albums he was involved in explained one by one including with his current partner (?) Candice Night. In between, there also interviews from familiar faces in the industry some of them were David Coverdale, Gene Simmons, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Glen Hughes, Jon Lord (deceased), Joe Lyn Turner, Graham Bonnet, Brian May etc etc. Also were flashbacks of his concerts and performances, cover albums, etc etc.
After watching this, you may finally know the man and his accomplishment. Born in 1945 now 70 years old and he is still kicking. Good for him.
The documentary never hide the fact that he is a hard man to get with in short temper and tantrums. His rivalry with Ian Gillan is nothing new. But all interviewed agreed that he is a character that no one seems to know much. Thats why his mastery didnt make people thought of him as one of the greatest guitarist to have lived.
But I think Gene Simmons put it spot on. He said that RB must get the spotlight and let the light shine on him if not he will be forever be underrated for he had accomplished and whom he had influenced (or something in that context).
A must for Rtchie Blackmore's, Deep Purple's and Rainbow' fans.
Good Documentary on RB.
