Ritchie Blackmore

Ritchie Blackmore (* 14. April 1945 in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset); eigentlich Richard Hugh Blackmore, ist ein britischer Gitarrist und Songwriter. Blackmore gelangte vor allem als Gründungsmitglied der 1968 gegründeten Hardrockband Deep Purple zu Berühmtheit, in der er mittels seiner Spielweise sowie der Vermischung von klassischen Melodien mit Rock und Blues viele Merkmale des Hard Rock und Heavy Metal legte. Nach dem Ausstieg bei Deep Purple gründete er 1975 die Hardrockband Rainbow, in der er seine musikalischen Vorstellungen weiterentwickeln konnte. Als Gitarrist beeinflusste Blackmore mittels seiner „hervorragenden Spieltechnik“ unter anderem die Gruppen der New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Er gilt auch als Pionier des musikalischen Genres Neoklassischer Metal. Im Jahr 1997 gründete er zusammen mit seiner Ehefrau Candice Night die Folkrockband Blackmore’s Night. Blackmore formierte 2016 die zwischenzeitlich aufgelöste Band Rainbow wieder mit neuen Musikern, bestehend teilweise aus Blackmore’s-Night-Musikern und dem chilenischen Sänger Ronnie Romero.
