Blackmore's Night

[CanyonCarver]

Went to Best Buys to get a gift certificate yesterday for a friend's Birthday.
On my way out, I spotted Blackmore's Night recent album while taking a quick look in the Black Sabbath pile.

I decided to pick it up to see what Ritchie Blackmore is up to with his renaissance music outfit.
It's called Ghost of a Rose. So far good first impression. It's not Deep Purple or Rainbow, folks. This is medieval-style music, played with old instruments.
Candice Night is the lead singer (and a total fox, I might add) Ritchie is one lucky bastard, I tell you!
There's a bonus video track from one of the songs, where you get to see for yourself what a knockout Candice Night is. ( the two backup singers are also beauty queen material by the way).

Now on to the music in itself: well, if you are up for a change of pace, you may like the renaissance stuff. I personnaly like that a lot, as it's not far off the whole Rainbow, Dio, Maiden vibe (the themes, not the head banging! [img]images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img])
Anyway, I'm glad Ritchie Blackmore decided to no longer torture his fellow Deep Purple band members with his shitty attitude and is own his own with this outfit. I think we all gain from it. I may buy other albums from Blackmore's Night. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

I'm sure he's had more drummers in that band than Spinal Tap mate!

Ritchie has gone a full circle now. He was quoted a while ago," I'm much happier sitting at the bottom of my garden talking to the elves and fairies" He's fuckin lost it !!

Hey! Lay off Blackmore. You cut in with criticism only on Blackmore. Sure enough he doesn't play in this project to grovel to anyone. He seems to be in his element with this music and the outcome is never better than when an artist loves what he' s doing instead of going commercial

Ah Young Jedi !!!! There is no bigger fan of Ritchie Blackmore than I !!!!

Ritchie Blackmore has had more money out of this weeeeee project than Screaming Lord Sutch , Deep Purple and Rainbow and the rest of them put together ............of course he will go with it !!! It wasnt for me at the time and i would still love him to get back together with Ronnie James Dio and the boys ( not sure if you are aware of this but Cozy died in a car crash a few years ago ) Alas i dont think it will happen. Anyway dear boy , check the date of my comment that you are responding too. Catch up !!!!!!!
Im still of the same opinion but........... thats me !!!!!!!!!!! Oh and Ritchie is right !!!! As Always !!!! Love Ya !!!!!!!!

Cheers !!
