Ritchie Blackmore 

The arsiest man in rock!

The "Bastard in Black"!

Ritchie Blackmore is the amazing former Deep Purple guitarist best known for his awesome riffs like "Smoke On The Water", "Black Night" and "Burn". He's famous for being a bit temperamental (or sometimes just plain mental with a hot temper)...

Blackmore quit Deep Purple in the mid 70's to start a new heavy rock band called "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" with future Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio. The name was later shortened to "Blackmore's Rainbow" and then just plain "Rainbow".

The original Rainbow bass player, keyboard player and drummer were soon replaced by Jimmy Bain (formerly of Street Noise and Harlot), Tony Carey (formerly of Blessings) and Cozy Powell (of everyone else). This is probably the most popular Rainbow lineup.

Ritchie Blackmore now plays guitar (NOT lute!) with Blackmore's Night.

Blackmore's Night 

A kickass band that plays Medieval music. They do mostly Celtic and Germanic-style Medieval music, but have also done Japanese, French, and some of their tunes have a Middle-Eastern flare.

Guitarist & Composer: Ritchie Blackmore
Lead Singer & Songwriter: Candice Night
Backing Vocals: Nancy and Madeline, "Sisters of the Moon"
Producer: Pat Regan & Romper (That's his cat...)
Violin: Lord Marnen of Wolfhurst
Bass: Sir Robert of Normandie
Percussion: Mike Sorrentino

Everything else is played by Ritchie and Candice. They have four albums out currently, all of them are spectacular. Their music is well-written and very detailed (You have to hear it to know what I mean) and their lyrics are the most poetic I've ever heard in songs.
"I fear not in the Ivory Tower, imprisonment you'll find...
It lies within your heart, your soul, your spirit and your mind..."

--Ivory Tower

"Through the darkened fields entranced, music made her poor heart dance,
Thinking of a lost romance, long a-go..."

--Shadow of the Moon

"Danger hidden in his eyes, we should have seen it from far away,
Wearing such a thin disguise in the light of day.
He held the answer to our prayers, yet it was too good to be...
Proof before our very eyes, yet we could not see..."

--Play Minstrel Play

Ritchie Blackmore 

A b*tch that unfortunately is a guitar god too.

Candice Night is his wife nowadays but Ian Gillan will always be his true love. The guitarist of Deep Purple, Rainbow and other bands.

Known for firing his bandmates and fucking with them.

Really ugly with thick eyebrows.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
