Blackmore is one of the worst guitarist that has a carrer. It is disgracful to put him up agianst Brain May who is an incredible guitarist. If you voted for Blackmore you are a fool of fools. pull your head out of your ass morons. ------------- And The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth |

I bought Blackmores solo album at the age of 14- it's brilliant. No offence Anonymous2112, but the other times I've seen you on here, I get the impression you're a bitter and rather short-sited person. So...havn't been laid for a while then? ------------- 50 tonne angel falls to the earth... |

May is more ecletic and diverse as a guitarist and as a songwriter. One of
my favourite bands is Deep Purple and Blackmore tend to get a litle bit repetitive (DP live albums are full of inventive playing. he's best jams are in MK3 CalJam and the Made in Europe - hes mixing a lot of blues in his playing which is great - but Im talking about a 2/3 year period... when RB created Rainbow he went back to his old formula). This is my opinion, I think May has done a lot more for rock guitar, just listen to the heavy metal licks of Sheer Heart Attack and I Want It All, the pop prowess of A Kind of Magic and the epics Innuendo and Bohemian Rapsody (this is a 20 year period, my friends). But dont get me wrong, Blackmore is a good guitarist. Cheers |

Blackmore, hes one of the most influential guitarists ever. Deep Purple is [to me] the second greatest non-prog band after Led Zep, and queen is more of a vocal-oriented pop rock band. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Not much into either man's music, though I'd take Queen over Rainbow if I had to. Ritchie Blackmore used to smash up his guitars in an entertaining fashion onstage, whereas Brian May made his guitar out of an old fireplace and uses old sixpenny bits as plectrums (plectra?) - on those grounds I choose Blackmore. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Thanks, Ed! Syzygy: The best - and most expensive - guitars are made of exceptional wood, like wood from 150 years old houses, doorsteps etc. But among guitarists May is not famous for that, but for tuning the circuits of his guitars in ways that were quite advanced at that time. Blackmore did nothing exceptional, compard to that. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Ritchie Blackmore is one of the best guitarist ever and one of my favourite  He is the author of the greatest riffs in rock music (Smoke On The Water, Stargazer and many others...) and best guitar solos (Child in time, Stargazer - again  )------------- Pablo P. |

| May is a great guitarist, but Blackmore is something else.... Not the nicest guy in the world by any means, but he made his guitar talk like no other. He's my choice without any doubt! |

May's tone wins him my vote! Self-made guitar + amp made with crap from a refuse heap + homemade treble booster pedal = the rocking-est tone ever! And his guitar-layering antics (like the solo in Killer Queen) Mmmm... home-made tone... |
Posted By: Fraja

| Yes,the solo in Killer Queen is great!!Also Brighton Rock is outstanding and Bohemian Rhapsody solo is one of the greatest solo EVER!!!!!!!!! |

| Two childhood heroes, very hard to make a decision! I've never felt comfortable with Blackmore. "What's in a name" would dr. Freud have said about this extremely complex personality who tend to be so stubborn, agressive and destructive. But this topic is about guitar skills and Ritchie Blackmore has delivered so many outstanding riffs and soli and he is switches so easily from classical to hardrock that I prefer him above Brian May who is in fact Queen's subdued version of Blackmore! |

When Tommy Bolin joined Deep Purple, he made Blackmore look bad. Then he went and killed himself. Too bad too. Anyway, it's still Richie May err...Brian Blackmore  Ain't this fun? MAY by a hair. ------------- Two heads are better than one, but if you want something done right, do it yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but better safe than sorry.
