Blackmore getting married
In a report from a Blackmore’s Night video shoot we found the news that Ritchie Blackmore finally is getting married to his band mate and girlfriend since 15 years, Candice Night. The wedding will take place in October and will be held in a castle somewhere.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Ritchie and Candice hadn’t been married till now? wooow
When I first read the title “Blackmore getting married” I thought he was going to be married with another woman, so I thought he would split Candice and fortunately, Blacmore’s Night – this band would split at least… but I got dissapointed 😀
Actually, I thought Ritchie and Candice were at the age of pension and they would live like a sweet oldsters… But no… They begin life now 😀
July 29th, 2008 at 08:41I have heard it rumoured that the bridesmaids will be Paicey, Lord, and Glover!!
And of course Gillan has page boy duties…
The family back together again…Ahhhhhh
The venue……..Castle Frankenstein…of course!!
July 29th, 2008 at 09:28Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. B! About time, eh… 🙂
July 29th, 2008 at 10:14The Greatest!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:08Wow. I don’t know about they don’t married too…
July 29th, 2008 at 11:46Well, will Candice change her surname to Blackmore? =)
No…It will be Candice Blackmore-Night of course!!
July 29th, 2008 at 12:18Maybe they will record a wedding album as good as Winters Carol and Secret Voyage…:-D
As always now they will make a big US production a “medieval” song to be credible 😀
i’m kidding !
What a man can do for love….
July 29th, 2008 at 12:54this could be his fourth wedding…maybe the last? Great guitarist and great women lover (he has a fame also in this particular field…)
July 29th, 2008 at 14:27What joy! Now if that Ritchie lost all their property at the hands of these two opportunistic (mother and daughter) so much lacking Blackmore Internet auction their guitars as Frampton had to pay for his divorce?
July 29th, 2008 at 15:04Max,
July 29th, 2008 at 16:23Sure, and the album will be titled: Wedding In A Village 😀 😀 😀
I think JLT would be the perfect Bride’s Maid. Be careful Ritchie…..remember what happened to Sir Paul McCartney? Love can be blind…….we wouldn’t want you start singing “when a blind man cries”…..now would we.
Cheers
July 29th, 2008 at 17:10I´ll try again….I was censored AGAIN!My comments wasn´t that harsh,I´ve done worse!!Well….let me see,I better watch out for “Moderator”,he´s obviously a worshipper of “St.Ritchie”!
No good luck wishes from me,beacuse you all know what this means??It means we can kiss any potential Rainbow reunion(never mind DP,that bridge is burned)goodbye!!Now Ritchie is probably even more controlled by Candice & Carole Stevens,and will most likely stop anything remotely linked to his glorious past!If reality one day shows it´s ugly face…..this could be a VERY costly experience for you Mr.Blackmore….love is not only blind,it´s sometimes even crippled!!
July 29th, 2008 at 18:23You never know. She might want him to go out and tour extensively, raking in the doe, and then take her cut and split. She has gotten her exposure. Now she needs him to do something that truly brings home the bacon. She will give birth to brood of little elves and then live happily ever from the elf support and 1/2 his stuff.
Unless of course he is packin’ a “Mandrake Root” that she just can’t find elsewhere outside of a “Black Night”….he he he
Cheers
July 29th, 2008 at 19:00old bloke marries younger bird… hats off I say! works for rod stewart, rik parfitt, brucie, vince neil, etc etc…old cov is the vicar apparantly.
July 29th, 2008 at 20:08He is only getting married so that he can call the band Blackmore’s Blackmore…Only then will he be truly satisfied.
July 29th, 2008 at 20:20While I got a snicker out of some of the jabs at Blackmore’s Night and the way the Night family has glommed on to the Blackmore legacy….I will try and be nice and congratulate my favorite rock guitarist on his pending nuptials. He seems happy with his lot in life…playing watered down medieval music to nerds in tights with a hot younger “singer.”
If we all could only be so lucky…:-/
July 29th, 2008 at 21:15I must say i have been listening to all my cds featuring Ritchie latley up to Stanger In Us All not interested in what his doing now . What an awersome guitarist & song writer he was ! His the best iv’e heard, his solos & riff’s have meaning to them all that emotion you feel in his guitar. Enjoy listening to his fired up riffs like on Not Responsable ,Under the Gun, Dead Or Alive etc. His the hard rock riff master, the only other person that comes close , is Tony Iommi & Mr Bolin. He plays the best love songs i’ve ever heard to. Check out some of those Rainbow songs His guitar is like reading an interesting book ,it tells a story, yeah his moody and doesn’t like Gillan but he deserves respect for his work. I miss him not being in the band . He deserves to be inducted in the music Hall Of Fame & recieve a gold medal!
July 29th, 2008 at 23:00roberto,
shut up you silly man. Have you ever heard term “personal opinion”?
For me BN isn’t kind of great music. It’s just one of the ordinary folk-band. People in world’s villages and provincies play and write much more great music, than BN. You like BN ’cause it’s a band of one of the most popular rock-musician.
Wait, have you ever heard to Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, or to Hamlet Gonashvili???
July 29th, 2008 at 23:03Wish Blackmore reform Rainbow and perform live in Singapore….Well, he may spent his honeymoon here too!….somewhere over the rainbow….
July 29th, 2008 at 23:54I just liked the: “held in a castle somewhere” part.
July 29th, 2008 at 23:56I guess we will all know who will wear the tights in that marriage.
July 30th, 2008 at 11:04And the pointy hat
July 30th, 2008 at 11:04I wonder if the dungeon´s reserved for some extremely naughty behaviour,and if so….is “Blackers” the reciever????
July 30th, 2008 at 13:34You mean torturing times for Blackmore???…. a ‘lance’ up the ‘drawbridge’!! Ouch!!
July 30th, 2008 at 13:56please let me say it my way:
Mazal Tov !!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 17:41top comments very funny…bet gillan would love to read this lot…mind you I would not kick miss night out of bed… as long as she stopped singing. piss takin aside check out blackers acoustic playin on his recent dvd.. he still has it. nice barnet too.
July 30th, 2008 at 21:33Blackmore is more more reserved and happier than he has been since his Purple days, mostly due to Candice Night and his opportunity to work on a project that had been in his mind in some form or another since the 60’s.
The failure of his past relationships mostly had to do with life on the road, the lifestyle of a rock star and long separations. Now, he is marrying a woman that is also a performer in his band and who shares his passions.
Marriage should make little difference in the relationship between Blackmore and Night, serving more as a sign of commitment and trust than anything else. After all, they merely could have continued with their current arrangement.
I wish them well.
July 30th, 2008 at 21:37T, I agree with you at 100%! And I think that your post is the most moderate, rational and reasonnable on this topic!
July 30th, 2008 at 23:45T: My sentiments exactly……I just had too much fun being the sarcastic asshole that I am. I forgot to include my actual regards for the man and his catch. I relate to “Blackers” in respects to nailing a younger soul-mate. “It Don’t Get Much Better Than That”. Especially if she is willing to allow our Guitar Hero to strut his stuff with the Big Boys in the Band from time to time…….Someday maybe or ‘Maybe Next Time’.
Cheers
July 31st, 2008 at 00:40All of the above comments were very funny in their way, but “T” probably said it best. Everyone deserves the right to be happy and if this is what makes RB happy than so be it. Congrats
July 31st, 2008 at 01:01Be happy Ritchie.Now It’s time to record solo projects Ritchie and Candice
July 31st, 2008 at 06:27separately 🙂
Sometimes i wonder if “moderator” can´t spot the difference between sarcasm and serious & evil bashing,or if i´ts just a case of lack of humour??
July 31st, 2008 at 08:49I have a funny opinion about what’s going on. Maybe they plan to marry after so many years not being married because… they are waiting for a baby! 🙂 Just my fantasy, no more.
July 31st, 2008 at 08:57In this case Rainbow fans will have much more reasons to hope for the Rinbow reunion, because BN project would be at least temporary put on ice. 🙂
Who’s to be the Best Man?
Obviously JLT will be Best Girl.
I believe in the prenuptual agreement Blackmore gets the ‘Penny Whistle’ and the ‘Hurdy Gurdie’……….
July 31st, 2008 at 10:55It wasn’t till 1974 that Ritchie became interested in medieval music and started on what has now become BN. I think their catalog has everlasting appeal, and while it may not be appreciated much now, it could still go down in history some day. It’s hugely under exposed, but they aren’t going for the star approach, so they aren’t complaining much… but that latest one I saw about them trying to do something about older artists lack of exposure makes me think twice. And is this project paying off finantially for itself, or is there a significant loss margain with a cap in sight, time will tell, and if it folds, surely the money will be a factor. At that point, will it have been about money all along? The due coarse will run itself either way.
They have a lot to be thankfull for.
July 31st, 2008 at 23:19I wish him the best of luck! I’m shocked they are not married already. . .Maybe deep down RB is singing “Help”. . .
August 1st, 2008 at 03:52Blackmore! Come back to the real music!
August 1st, 2008 at 11:15Plllllleeeeeeaaassseeeeeeee!
Is this what is called in Holland : “Komkommer-tijd nieuws”?
I cant’t find the English word right now.
Here in Holland it’s used for the summer period : nothing special going on, so…..
Or is it more important than I think?
Trying to read between the lines is something I do NOT always practice.
Unfortunately my attentionlevels are quite unpredictable…..
Anyway, after watching the TIENEN clips from DP, I got (It just happened that way. In the end it’s un avoidable)back into the ones from 1993 : Helsinki(The last one?), Germany, House Of Blue Light clips……
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………….
Torture………
Did someone already offer me that time machine yet?
August 1st, 2008 at 12:09Has he banged her yet?
August 1st, 2008 at 20:52I would have thought so, after all these years…
August 1st, 2008 at 23:03PurplePriest: “Komkommer-tijd nieuws”–Cucumber time news?–is that like a “slow news day”?
August 2nd, 2008 at 04:40Ritchie!
Kigyógyulhatnál már végre ebből a középkori históriából…
“Come back to the real music” !!!!!!!!!!
You get well,you not troubadour…!!
Zolizoli from Hungary…
August 2nd, 2008 at 07:05Ritchie……..I wish you all luck
August 2nd, 2008 at 09:29(you´re my greatest dream)
King of dreams
“Has he banged her yet? ”
Pardon me?!
T :
Translation?
August 2nd, 2008 at 16:37I do think so, yes.
Translation:Porked,shagged,rodgered,fucked etc.,etc….!
August 2nd, 2008 at 19:01Comprende????
Stefan
I already knew what you meant.
I implied that I do not like this kind of talk.
Shape up.
Ofcourse I knew that it’s better for my sanity not to take things here that seriously.
But I don’t think that kinda talk is funny.
Well, it’s only me…..
“Push ahead” if you like…..
August 2nd, 2008 at 19:15I thought ‘Banged’ was rather impish and polite…..Damned Priet, you sure have becove quite the “little priss” these days. Being ‘celibate’ will do that to you though…..I think it’s time you get laid. I hope your virgin eyes don’t take offense to the word ‘laid’…..(screwed, piped, pounded, dicked, split) Oh well……
Cheers
August 2nd, 2008 at 19:44I hope this will inspire him to do more romantic love music for the over sixty population.
August 2nd, 2008 at 19:45Priest!
I suppose you thought “St.Ritchie” is pure as snow and doesn´t degrade himself to such earthly activities?????
August 3rd, 2008 at 08:19Or as the great late Frank Zappa used to say: “It´s much more fun bending over than kneeling down”!!!
August 3rd, 2008 at 08:50Ritchie ma che cazzo fai, non lo fare….. Sara’ lo stesso risultato dei tuoi precedenti matrimoni. La tua vera compagna e’ solo ed esclusivamente la tua Stratocaster, il resto è nulla assoluto. Riflettici bene………
August 3rd, 2008 at 13:39You douches should lighten up.
“I don’t like that kind of talk”.
Go back to living in your mom’s basement.
August 3rd, 2008 at 15:40Maybe old “Blackers” could get a sponsorship from the manufacturers of Viagra, to pay for it all! That sure would make some splashing headlines!
August 4th, 2008 at 21:45Will she slips his ring onto her finger??
August 6th, 2008 at 07:51when I see these picture
report http://www.musicmirror.de/diaryarchiv175.htm
I think that some people living in another world that does not belong to me. that boots…ridicolous…ahahahah…I get a bit of sadness when I see RB lost into his imaginary world…I miss his epic era with his epic music with Dio and Rainbow,the immaginary I love! not this,not these carnival clowns
🙂
August 6th, 2008 at 09:32No jodan necios….!!!!
Ritchie Blackmore es el mejor guitarrista que ha tenido DEEP PURPLE en toda su trayectoria (aunque les duela).
El merece el respeto de quienes se titulen fan´s del grupo.
August 6th, 2008 at 15:28You are correct “AndreA”…..
It is time to dawn the Rock Attire in replacement of the Halloween Costume. Both would be fine if he could juggle it, but it’s time to remind his Present Love, what his First Love was and most likely still is. Crankin’ Rockin’ Jammin’ Blackmore must return soon. That would be a true sentiment to the fans and would thereby erase all scepticism regarding who truly wears the Tights in the family…..
Cheers
August 6th, 2008 at 16:01He has done more than enough for the fans…and for a lot of fans he still does…how uninspired music can be when you don’t really want to play it you hear when you listen to “Come hell or high water” (stuttgart was great on that tour…Birmingham was just a waste of time…guitarwise)….I don’t want that back….
And if he loves the world he lives in, be it imaginary or not, he sure has right to live there…The music of Rainbow or Deep Purple, which btw I favor a lot more than BN, wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t inspired to do that…
I remember an interview with Ritchie saying some to the essence of:
“We have fans because they like what we do and not because we play what they might wanne hear.”
If the latter was the case, Deep Purple would have never created and played that innovative music.
BTW His pilgrem hat in the 70ies looked ridiculous to a lot of people too..IG was one of them….I like it though…and own one too
Best wishes for him and Candice…
PS…If only Candice would be the daughter of another woman
August 6th, 2008 at 23:12CE-Music:
Great points……..Blackmore should do what Blackmore wants. He was a great session player and then was inspired to put a band together….DP. It went very well. He is finally done with that and others have taken over the reigns. It is done. He plays what he wants. Enough from the many whiners about what he is or isn’t playing. At least he is still creative and gives you all something to listen to.
Cheers.
