Andy Mooney (Fender CEO) on Ritchie
This is what Fender CEO Andy Mooney said in an interview last week:
I learned classical, you know, traditional Spanish classical guitar—all orchestral pieces, no popular music, it was almost baroque. Part of why I loved Ritchie Blackmore is I felt he was a classical guitar player in a rockstar's body. He could do all of those operatic solos and, you know, smash guitars on stage—he had all of the theater that came from the Hendrix era. So my favorite bands tend to be heavy metal bands that really have that operatic bent, and there's a few of them here in Japan. X Japan is one of them. Unbelievably gifted soloist.
Here is the link to the full interview:
