That was a lot of the problem for Ritchie when he finally left for good, the degradation of Gillans voice...I saw them at Brixton on this tour Blackmore giving Gillan the evils when Gillan was doing all his 'Woarrrrrh' rubbish..
That is because neither is true. Besides, they never hated each other, just have heated arguments due to the powers that be and the 3 stage clowns they are all but forced to work with.
In my opinion, the Purpendicular album was the only great album with Morse. Abandon was not quite as good but good nonetheless. Since then, not my cup of tea as they say in England.
+Epictetus of Hierapolis Can identify with that synopsis: Purpendicular a decent album, Abandon not bad in places. 'Bananas' has its moments. I personally find that Morse tends to play the same run all the time regardless of the song and suffers from 'too many notes per second' it wouldn't be so bad if he changed a couple of them now and again but he tends to play the same run all the time no matter what song.
Purple without Blackmore completely lack any edge. But then Purple without Gillan was Rainbow-lite. Personally I witnessed a Blackmore sulk when he took a dislike to a perfectly normal audience and refused to play any encores. The rest of the band had to carry on the show without him. Not good for business when that sort of nonsense is repeated time after time.
Deep Purple died for me when Ritchie left for good, he IS and WAS the reason Deep Purple worked. People came to see the knife edge, the danger, the brilliance he brought to the band and to me that is sadly lacking if not there at all in Steve Morse and in the records they made after Ritchie left, they are boring. its trying to make a dead man walk. Ritchie was the one that produced the spark and excitement, he was the one who stood out when i first discovered them way back in 78 when i saw the inside cover photos of my uncle's copy of In Rock at 6 years old, i'm 43 now. I accept Tommy Bolin because that line up created quality hard rock but not the Morse line up fuck me never in a million years! RIP Mr John Lord you should have been knighted as should Ritchie. Fuck me music is so boring now
+Gary Unsworth Whilst I share your views on the departure of TMIB, the whole thing is a conundrum. By 1993 the band was grinding to a halt anyway, an unhappy band, on its knees creatively, TMIB also refusing to play anything except a very narrow set-list, it all became stale. Jon Lord himself said on interview that he thought Gillan being allowed to leave in 1973 was a huge mistake and that the band should have been given time off from the relentless schedule. Yes we got 'Burn' but with it came 'Stormbringer' and TMIB being disenchanted with what he dubbed 'shoeshine music' and his departure, then Bolin coming in and by Feb 1976 Lord and Paice decided that it wasn't Purple anymore and their decision to end it, all that can be traced back to the resignation letter from Gillan in 1972 and the Purple management doing nothing to manage it according to Jon Lord himself. As I think Simon Robinson was quoted on the sleevnotes of the 'Powerhouse' LP "sad affections".
You can't speak for everybody. I agree Blackmore is a genius and he is my favorite guitarist but for me it was the Jon Lord influence that other bands (ie Zep and BS) never had that got me hooked on them.
The Truth Hurts Well I certainly did not say that I spoke for everybody or even anybody. I was quoting Jon Lord - that was the point, nothing particularly to do with what I think.
You took all the words right out of my mouth Gary, brilliantly said... without Ritchie, it is NOT Deep Purple. I do not care with Gillan says. I love Gillan, don't get me wrong, but he was dead wrong when he said they could carry on without Blackmore. No they could not, Blackmore was that spark! He was what made me sit there with my jaw to the ground. They are all brilliant...but Ritchie stopped me dead in my tracks! I am 54 years old and when I first heard them when I was 13 41 years ago, I fell head over heels in love. Oh well, Ritchie is doing his own thing and whether you like His Blackmore's Night or not (I really do, it grew on me and I love it), he is still brilliant and still is carrying on with Rainbow and that is all that matters. Long Live Blackmore!!!
Thing is the albums such as "Slaves and Masters" were (are) absolute garbage and totally lame. Nowhere near the same league as In Rock or Machine Head, and if you think they are you either need your ears fixed or your brain fixed. Incidentally, Gary Unsworth, did you ever work in steel? Maybe another Gary Unsworth. Cheers.
For me Deep Purple died this day from 1968-1974 to 1984-1993 was the band period. Ritchie is the main reason why they're what they're. Deep Purple In Rock wasn't the idea of Jon Lord of being Rock Music. Ritchie wanted to, and for him they become sucessful, they need to be grateful with him, however what I'm saying don't mean that Don Airey and Steve Morse are bad, both are awesome in their own ways. However I think Purple should have disbanded since Ritchie left or when Jon decided to not continue.
I'm not surprised that Blackmore buggered off , really, Gillan's live singing had become bloody lousy by that stage and all good things must come to an end . I can't believe they're still at it now .
Saw them on this tour at the Brixton Academy and they were tight as fuck...I don't know how but Gillan got the high notes in Child in Time..he must have cut a short term deal with the devil...I heard his knob fell off a few hours later
Since the 80s Deep Purple is a company for which five individuals produce material which is then marketed by a bunch of employees. Stop talking about it as if they were a club band. It’s their company, their job. I love every line up, they fit in perfectly in their time period. Current line up making more prog rock has reinvented themselves. Now what and infinite are masterpieces for me, together with that underrated Bolin album, Come And Taste The Band. Some of you need to start listening something else rather than smoke on the water.
Blackmore certainly was the 🎸 It was his sound, his Vision, Direction. But Jon Lord was thee other leader. By 1993 he knew that they're Billboards Chart days were behind them. He Kept the band working until his departure into the mid-2000/09? 🎼🎶 After the 40 year anniversary of concerto reunion with London philharmonic orchestra & Deep Purple! At the Royal Albert Hall. 🎹 🇬🇧
It all comes down to a simple equation: Deep Purple - Blackmore = REO Speedwagon - Richrath = James gang - Joe Walsh = Doors - Morrison = Beatles - McCartney = Skynryd - Van Zant = Mothers - Zappa = Well, you get the picture.
I love Ritchie but his apathy was really beginning to hold Purple back. Purpendicular was nothing short of a glorious rebirth for them. Granted , they've only managed to make one great album each time he left but it does prove that the sun doesn't revolve around him. I think that Jon Lord was an even greater loss to the band , which is proven by the way that Don Airey seems to channel him every time he takes an organ solo. I think that Purple and Ritchie have both been happier since the split.
Well 'Iron' Gillan thats all very well if you could back up the talk with the pipes that you used to have.. If you going to keep touring with the Purps you cant simply rely on your reputation. Besides what is Purple without Blackmore anyway????
@katt329 How dare you diss the Mighty Purple, they're a class act whoever's in the band (ok it was a mistake getting Joe Lynn Turner in, ha ha). Nah seriously just kidding man. I enjoy the band's career as a whole but you do have a point. It will be a bit farcical if Paicey ever decides to quit then they'll be no original members left. I do rate Morse (saw DP live in '96 and '98) but Blackmore and the MK2 lineup were something extra special.

I'm amazed on the fact that Ritchie never brought up Gillan losing his voice snd Ian never called Blackmore out on wearing a wig. They kept it clean.

Another quarter of the century almost gone, and DP are still running on that oil :D
The Gillan-Blackmore feud is the funniest in rock'n'roll history. I love it!!
Yes, deffo number one feud. Second: Ed Van Halen (and his brother) vs Roth, Hagar and Mike Anthony... always entertaining
It was extremely childish. Egos!!!

I still listen to Bolin's solo albums and love them -- best work he produced. His time with Deep Purple was an absolute train wreck.
You said it all my friend.
Wow, all I'm going to say is that Deep Purple's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction will be anything but dull. LMFAO!

Ha Ha. What a joke. You're not serious right? Robert Plant, David Coverdale, Glen Hughes.... Gillan is good but he's not the greatest ever.

If you going to keep touring with the Purps you cant simply rely on your reputation. Besides what is Purple without Blackmore anyway????
Agreed! Like Sabbath would be nothing without Iommi!
What are they without the moody TMIB git? .....an infinitely happier band. Sad but true.
@@SpeedKingHighwayStar Maybe Happier But Lower Level Without Blackmore...

Happy Birthday Mr. UNIVERSE !!!! С Днем Рождения, Ian Gillan!!!! 19.08.2020!!!!
I find 'Slaves and Masters' with Joleen a low point and not a Purple album personally, more like watered down Rainbow. Sorry.
If You Think S&M Sounds Like Rainbow...Can I Say Stormbringer Sounds Like KC & The Sunshine Band(Hold On...You Can Do It Right...Holy Man) ;-)
Joleen Turner haha brilliant
Guess What Gillian? Your oil has run out!!!
no
GILLAN NOT Gillian.
Very wrong there
Ian doesn't seem to be a bad guy.
Not at all - he's most approachable!
