This group is for discussion and obsequious idolatry of TMIB (Ritchie Blackmore). Discussion of related bands/topics/recordings/gear, etc, is encouraged, including how RB's music influences your own. It should be viewed as an informal gathering of friends. All opinions and constructive criticisms are welcome, though a modicum of simple respect and courtesy are expected. No obstreperous or vitriolic bashing of projects past or present is acceptable, and ad hominem vilification is verboten. The moderators reserve the right to, uhhhh, moderate within the aegis of a benevolent dictatorship. Assuming we're found compus mentus.
