"The Who aren't Led Zeppelin and we're not Deep Purple and we weren't

carrying his guitar up and down my street when I was 14 or15. Some
jazz pianist down the road used to say to me, "You've got a guitar,
there's a really great boy who comes and plays with me sometimes
called Richie Blackmore. He invented heavy metal. I didn't. He was
doing it years before us and probably invented power chords as well.
So I dunno why he's such a sullen, dark, evil motherfucker (grins)."
