Ritchie Blackmore Music Quotations

I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.

Combing my hair doesn't make me a better musician.

... Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he's an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he's wonderful...

I had given up on 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.

What's the point of re-releasing an album? The original sounded good, why change something about it?
