google.com --> newsgroups It wouldn't hurt you to look around, you know. |
Micrówave 30.06.2009 11:11 |
... just don't type "dp forum", because you're gonna get something completely different!! |
thomasquinn 32989 30.06.2009 13:07 |
Oh? Personal experience? |

The reason being that no one but yourself can judge what you find an enjoyable forum, perhaps? |

Deep purple reminds me of Tinky Winky. And of a tomato wearing tight braces(BrE)/suspenders(AmE) |

This is a Deep Purple forum. |

You obviously fail to realize the subjectivity in 'like QZ'. Pity. I can now understand why a google-search is too much to ask of you. |

Nothing bad in asking such a question. But probably the answer is that nobody knows anything about DP forums. And can't give advice. I would if I could. But unfortunately I don't know. Though I would like to get into such a forum myself. I like Deep Purple! Good rock! |

When you say Deep Purple, you mean the Blackmore + Gillan variety, right? Because if you mean the watered down shit that's been touring since the mid 90's, you don't deserve a forum! Haha. |

As if that last tour with Blackmore was a pleasure to watch...! I never seen such a disgrace on a stage in my life. Very, VERY unprofessional. On the other hand - when Steve Morse joined the band, it was like a cool breaze. Great player, pleasure on stage again and a smooth sounding band. Until Gillan lost his voice... |

The Man in Black was rarely on stage (he only came out for his solo's - the rest of the show he was not even playing!) and when he was, the best thing he could come up with was calling his bandmates names. IN THE MICROPHONE, for everybody to hear! On the other hand - when Steve Morse joined the band, it was like a cool breaze. Great player, pleasure on stage again and a smooth sounding band.

Until Gillan lost his voice...that's completely right. i attended several shows of the last blackers, the short satriani and the first morse tour respectively ... and aftershows the guys spoke frankly about what had been obvious on stage. |
john bodega 03.07.2009 12:24 |
Holy mackerel I didn't mean the tour. I meant their recorded output. Fuck the tours; Gillan has sounded like an old woman since the late 90's anyway! I won't comment on Steve Morse as a player, or even his worth in Deep Purple, but that Montreux show that was on telly a while back was an utter snooze on his part. Maybe it was just a bad night. |
Jjeroen 04.07.2009 05:54 |
Didn't see the Montreux show. But it must have been an off-night then. Morse is realy a great player! (Although totally different to Blackmore of course (OR Bolin for that matter). But if you are talking STUDIO, then I would not even go back to the mid 90's. The last great record that was released under the DP name was Stormbringer! (But I have to admit that I found Purpendicular (first with Morse) far from bad and that it does have some great moments) |

IN THE MICROPHONE, for everybody to hear!Do you mean Ritchie? Is it all really true? How terrible! No, definately not only on one show!! Saw them in Germany and in Rotterdam - at both shows Blackmore was only on stage to play his solo's and he often did not play the rhythm parts at all. (You can see it on the official video from that tour as well, by the way, so that makes at least three) That video gives a nice other example as well by the way: Blackmore throwing cups of water at crewmembers on stage... In Rotterdam Blackmore was calling Gillan names in the microphone. |

So what?! Haha |

Thank you, guys, for sharing your experience and facts. I know that Richie is not a very friendly person and we all know the famous video where he promises to find Gillan in a back alley and beat him up with the help of his Swedish friends. Maybe he was already fed up with everything by that time. But was he so mean when Gillan first left the band? Was Gillan a troublemaker at that time if even Glover voted for his leaving the band? (as far as I know) |
