I know hes good, but i find him overrated to the extream, the only band of his i ever liked was BN, i could never stand Deep Purple or especialy Rainbow(and that pretentious midget Dio)...I dont hate blackmore or hold anything against him, except for the fact that hes overrated by many for his technical ability, i look for other things in guitarists, i just dont find them in blackmore, im not saying he wasnt creative or original, of course he was, i just have a strong disliking for almost all of his musical output.

But i do bash Blackmore from time to time around DDD regulars who also visit this site, such as Andy, everyone from that forum knows how i feel about most of his music, so occasionly on this forum i will make a anti blackmore joke as a reference to my rep on the DDD forum.
