Lynott spoke in an interview back in 1980 about this episode. It involved him (Lynott) on bass, Blackmore on guitar and Paul Rodgers singing. Lynott was strictly bass, no singing. The way Lynott told the story, it was more like 1972 as Blackmore had heard Lizzy playing a song called The Rocker and was blown away by the energy it gave off. But, according to Lynott, before they could really work on it, Paice convinced Blackmore to stick with Deeo Purple, Paul Rodgers was persuaded to form Bad Company and Whiskey In The Jar went into the charts, leaving their possible project (Baby Face was the working title) up in the air.
@@vitalygoji ok man. We get it. You are the infinite INFINITE fan of all time. You hate Blackmore, that's ok but no way Steve Morse is better. They just sound different with him and it's not the Deep Purple most fans love. Admit it to yourself.
@@rickleblanc8900 I stopped following DP long time ago. Infinite changed that and I started catching up on them. Reality is that they proved to be better without RB. I think that for three years RB was the best on arena, after that he simply went insane. We all victims of his rampages not just Gillan and Lord. I am not sure why you got mad at me. There was just one chance and RB did everything he could to ruin it. Now he out of money, can't play anymore and pretty soon will be selling his house. Being dick does not pay
Interesting.............the Man In Black wanted to leave even before Gillan did, lol. Thank god he didn't or we wouldn't have had the monumental live album Made In Japan.
We wouldn't even remember them!!!.. because they hadn't recorded 'Machine Head' or 'Smoke on the Water' at that point ( 1971 ) .... the Album and Song that everybody ( who's not a Purple Fan per se ) remembers them for. Plus no Thin Lizzy, no Whiskey in the Jar, The Boys are back in Town ect etc! ???
DP always was about Gillan, his voice and his songs. Blackmore never had huge crowds with any other singer. Make yourself listen to Gillan and his songs and listen to just Blackmore. You will turn off Blackmore after 10 15 min max There were many better guitar players than RB but Gillan always was the one and the best

Same here, you look away from DP for a minute and the lineup has already changed 😂 Same with David Cloverdale and his Whitesnake. I guess we know where those influences came from. Both bands are like old tarts now. Everyone's been in them. 😏
The 3rd album in 1969 was my personal favorite. The original lineup did 3 albums in 1 year. They would never match this creative and production level again. The 3rd album is amazing. Ritchie uses wah pedal almost on every track which makes it very unique. Ian Gillan borrowed heavily from Rod Evans especially in the lower registers. Nicky Simper was a good Bassist as well. You are correct, their cover version of Help was awesome. One of those "what if" moments, if Rod and Nicky stayed in Purple. Rod went on to Captain Beyond. Rod also played percussion. The jam Rod and Paice had going on the song Chasing Shadows is awesome.
+Stix1812 Ian Paice said something different about Gillan and Glover's departure. Paice's statement is backed by Jon Lord as well. You can see these things for yourself in "Rock Family Trees: Deep Purple", it's up here on YT.
So you are saying that the only guy who can sing LZ better than Robert Plant and guy who is a monster bass player and all around song writer are not worth it? Gillan wasn't the original singer of DP and I'm too ignorant to notice anything about glover. But based on what's obvious Huges is way above that.
Burn may be a great album, but c'mon, In Rock, Machine Head and Made In Japan are far superior. Hell, even Who Do We Think We Are is better than any album with Coverdale imo. Why? Because of Ian Gillan, and getting rid of Roger Glover was a huge mistake, and then replacing him with that screechy voiced Glenn Hughes who's fair on bass at most. Bad choices all around.
I totally agree. I have been a DP fan for over fifty plus years and also think "Burn", "Come Taste the Band" and "Stormbringer" are the best DP albums (in that order). I much prefer Coverdale and Hughes singing and bouncing off each other. I know many people don't agree and that's fine. There's no right or wrong, it's all just personal taste. For me, Gillian does too much of the same screaming note and it becomes tedious. Yes, a great singer but not my first choice, but definitely a great DP vocalist. Happy he is still going. His best DP albums (for me) are "In Rock", "Machine Head" and "Fireball". Some of the newer ones are also great, like "Purpendicular" and "Abandon". PS: I have all their studio albums except "Turning to Crime". I hate when bands throw out a covers' album just for a quick buck.
Glover and Gillan wrote songs. Blackmore came up with few riffs he stole from obscure jazz rock bands (even from Latino bands). Deep Purple would have been much better without Blackmore. If you don't believe me, listen to "infinite"
@@Nissardpertugiu Actually all famous riffs are not his. He was good up to 1974, then he got mentally sick and should have retired or removed. That way we would have deep purple all those years. Glover said about him - "he was big, but no one is bigger than a band". Good management should have kicked him out before he ruined Deep Purple. I wish they had producer like they got now, capable resolving issue, not just running band into the ground.
Saw Rainbow.84. Nassau Collessium. 2nd row Not my seats.asked Ritchie Blackmore to give us the finger. He did w/ a smile. Great show. His middle finger could be seen for miles. No Wonder he can play like that. Touch any Free. At any.given.time. Thank You. But of course, no pictures, no proof. My ears still ring!!!!!!
Very interesting story, but Ritchie could very well bring Phil into Deep Purple after Gillan and Glover left. Instead, he brought Glenn Hughes. If Phil (may he RIP) was really keen about working with Blackmore, I think he would have accepted in joining Purple. Something doesn't add up,
Im surprised Blacmore stayed with DP for so long up to 75 and even rejoining the band in the 80s , anyway at least hes finally happy doing his own thing now
Blackmore strikes me as a person who'd be difficult to work with under the best of conditions. His real value rested solely on his guitar abilities, certainly not his personality.
He speaks well.. But the content of his speech indicates a ruthless, intolerant, personal ambition. Working with someone like that in a band is a nightmate. Ironic, then, that he claims that HE didnt like the politics in DP, because it was 'too much like a business' . That's what you get if you don't value the other people in the band, (but see them only as opportunities for you to exploit, in your own interest).
@@gerhardvanderberg930 And Ritchie's playing has become tired, uninspired and lifeless. The ravages of age, not to mention all that waste of time on his minstrel Robin Hood folk shit Blackmore's Night with his wife...... Check out his recent live shit with his Rainbow "cover band". The lead singer's ok but his band shoulda stayed home and Ritchie sounds like a mere shadow of himself
What I don’t get is, he says Roger wasn’t doing anything for him back then, but then he invited him to play for Rainbow only a few years later. Did he feel Roger had improved or maybe because of Rainbow’s change of sound towards mainstream pop rock, he thought “he’ll do now”?
Blackmore says in other interviews that Roger is a great producer so he produced Rainbow and at some point he allowed him in the band. at that time (after Dio left) Ritchie wanted to do commercial music so i guess he was acceptable. Or...Ritchie is just diabolical
You are so bloody right sir Blackmore I would never get David Coverdale Glenn Hughes yes with Ronnie James Dio now that would of kick ass and the very best
he should have left purple in 73 and form Rainbow. that was the time of long guitar solos and art rock. in 75/76 punk rock came to the scene and guitar virtuosos like ritchie became unpopular. like I said, he should have left purple much earlier than 75.
Punk rock was unpopular with me, it meant sneering, spitting, whining and sticking the middle finger. Big deal, so what. Been there, done that. Nothing musically earth- shattering there imo. Guitar virtuosos? Ritchie? At least they had something of substance to say. I do have to say that Ritchie leaving Purple was a bitch, but then forming Rainbow with Dio was a masterstroke. Epic as fuck.
Doesn't sound right. This was '71? Gillan and Roger weren't fired till 3 years later, when MK 3 was born (Burn album). And I somehow doubt that Paice was the mastermind behind it all -- doesn't sound like a Paice-like thing to propose.
Timeline is: 1971 - Blackmore saw Lizzy for the 1st time & liked Lynott. 1972 (c. October) - Blackmore, Paice & Lynott recorded demos as Babyface. 1972 (November) - Lizzy released Whiskey in the Jar. 1973 (January) - Whiskey in the Jar at no. 6 in UK charts (Lizzy's 1st chart success). 1973 (June) - Gillan & Glover played their last gig with Purple. 1973 (autumn) - auditions for replacements. 1973 (November) - Burn LP recorded. 1973 (December) - 1st Purple gigs with Coverdale & Hughes. 1975 - Lizzy released Fighting LP (their 1st LP to chart in UK - got to no. 60). 1976 - Lizzy released Boys are Back (their 2nd 45 to chart in UK - got to no. 8).
Ian and Roger weren’t fired. They left on their own. Once Ian announced he was leaving, Roger decided to go too. He and Ian joined the band together after being in their own band Episode Six. Roger didn’t want to stay without Ian, and he was also fatigued from the endless touring. He joined their new company Purple Records and became a producer doing that until Ritchie asked him to join Rainbow in 1979. Interestingly, one of the albums he produced was Sin after Sin, Judas Priest’s third LP. Roger has some funny stories about Rob, Glenn and KK
Ritchie's ego. His battles with Gillan and overall dissatisfaction of the band just as they were the biggest rock band in the world. Gillan and Glover entered Purple together, so somehow Roger getting kicked out is not that surprising. Ritchie's an awesome player but can be quite the bitch to deal with
Fireball was not good for him, but at last he did Machine Head which was very much RB album and not Gillan album as Fireball was. RB looks old and tired and sick, he better takes life easy.
+metacosmos Blackmore's playing on The Mule is brilliant imo. I would agree it's not their best album but I still think it's quite underrated (took the band in another direction).
metacosmos Jeff Beck era una de las opciones para reemplazar a Blackmore en Deep Purple, de hecho, fue la primera, a propuesta de Coverdale. Dudo mucho que Blackmore y Beck llegasen a pelearse, Blackmore le tiene mucho aprecio a Beck
@@zaltaire Well, the Burn album was good but no Gillan and Glover ??? Coverdale became a better fit with Whitesnake. Hughes is a decent bassist i guess, but his screechy Gillan imitations truly sucked. The MK 2 lineup is the all time greatest followed by the MK 1 lineup. MK 3 ? 1 good album that's it. MK 4 version? What a joke
Mainly he made him enter the band but as a producer, Roger at that time became a very good producer. And then he made him join the band as a bassist because since 73' Roger keep his mouth shut and didnt talk shit about Blackmore for the decisions he took to get him out of the band. It was Blackmore's way of saying sorry,
Roger's the best bassist he ever had ! Wtf Ritchie ? Hating Gillan is one thing but Roger ? Great bassist, great producer, what more do ya need ? Egos get in the way of appreciation i guess
1971? Blackmore has developed the perfect onerous reputation. I'm not buying any of this stuff. In 1971 Deep Purple are massively huge with "In Rock" and "Fireball" behind them they are about to record "Machine Head" and Richie wants to leave and join up with a then unknown Irishman? ? What playground nonsense. is this? Why didn't he just sack Gillan and Glover and hire Phil Lynott as bassist /singer? One less wage to pay? Blackmore is full of shit, difficult, cantankerous, burdensome. Don't believe a word of it.
You can tell early on that he didn't get along with Ian...Ritchie would point his amp directly in Ian's direction just to troll him.(The 1972 Copenhagen concert shows this...Also they were touring heavily, and I believe ritchie got Hepatitis at one point.
As good as Lynott was, i don't think he would've cut it with Purple vocalist-wise. No disrespect, but Purple= Gillan just as Zeppelin = Plant and Sabbath= Ozzy. My 2 cents. Cheers !
But you still. Left anyway as great as you.are you don't know what you want ian left and roger left you supposed had what you wanted. Then they don't wanna record black sheep of the family you got an excuse you form rainbow then you tell Ronnie that you want more commercial songs. Then years later what he wrote about you now sing.about love you but you want life to revolve around you and that isn't fair they should have kept ian and got Gary Moore

If Rodger Glover did nothing for Blackmore, why did Blackmore bring him on as bass player for Rainbow?
+lMrFresno559l Probably his way of saying "Boy, was I wrong." Initially, though, Glover was only to produce for Rainbow.
Because Roger is a better songwriter and producer than he is bass player.
Since he was producing Rainbow at the time, he may have become bass player by default

quien sabe si la música de lynott y blackmore seria mejor que la música que hizo thin lizzy en esos años.
Doesn't sound right. This was '71? Gillan and Roger weren't fired till 3 years later, when MK 3 was born (Burn album). And I somehow doubt that Paice was the mastermind behind it all -- doesn't sound like a Paice-like thing to propose.
Timeline is:
1971 - Blackmore saw Lizzy for the 1st time & liked Lynott.
1972 (c. October) - Blackmore, Paice & Lynott recorded demos as Babyface.
1972 (November) - Lizzy released Whiskey in the Jar.
1973 (January) - Whiskey in the Jar at no. 6 in UK charts (Lizzy's 1st chart success).
1973 (June) - Gillan & Glover played their last gig with Purple.
1973 (autumn) - auditions for replacements.
1973 (November) - Burn LP recorded.
1973 (December) - 1st Purple gigs with Coverdale & Hughes.
1975 - Lizzy released Fighting LP (their 1st LP to chart in UK - got to no. 60).
1976 - Lizzy released Boys are Back (their 2nd 45 to chart in UK - got to no. 8).
Ian and Roger weren’t fired. They left on their own. Once Ian announced he was leaving, Roger decided to go too. He and Ian joined the band together after being in their own band Episode Six.

Ritchie is a liar. It was him who decided to get rid of Roger, and Gillan himself decided to leave
Can't wait till June and he rips into Stargazer.
How'd that work out?
On the pop
What's the problem with Roger?
Ritchie's ego. His battles with Gillan and overall dissatisfaction of the band just as they were the biggest rock band in the world. Gillan and Glover entered Purple together, so somehow Roger getting kicked out is not that surprising. Ritchie's an awesome player but can be quite the bitch to deal with

metacosmos Jeff Beck era una de las opciones para reemplazar a Blackmore en Deep Purple, de hecho, fue la primera, a propuesta de Coverdale. Dudo mucho que Blackmore y Beck llegasen a pelearse, Blackmore le tiene mucho aprecio a Beck
RB no soporta tener a otro guitarrista en su grupo , ni tan solo dejaba tocar la guitarra a Joe lynn turner.
and that was the end of purple, mk3 were uuuuggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
the burn SONG was good. thas' it lol
@@zaltaire Well, the Burn album was good but no Gillan and Glover ??? Coverdale became a better fit with Whitesnake. Hughes is a decent bassist i guess, but his screechy Gillan imitations truly sucked. The MK 2 lineup is the all time greatest followed by the MK 1 lineup. MK 3 ? 1 good album that's it. MK 4 version? What a joke
“Phil had all this energy”... and drugs lol
ElSmusso that was later on in the late 70s and 80s
You're a fn ahole!
Twat!!
"Roger he doesn't do anything for me" then why did you get him in rainbow then?
Mainly he made him enter the band but as a producer, Roger at that time became a very good producer. And then he made him join the band as a bassist because since 73' Roger keep his mouth shut and didnt talk shit about Blackmore for the decisions he took to get him out of the band. It was Blackmore's way of saying sorry,
Roger's the best bassist he ever had ! Wtf Ritchie ? Hating Gillan is one thing but Roger ? Great bassist, great producer, what more do ya need ? Egos get in the way of appreciation i guess
1971? Blackmore has developed the perfect onerous reputation. I'm not buying any of this stuff. In 1971 Deep Purple are massively huge with "In Rock" and "Fireball" behind them they are about to record "Machine Head" and Richie wants to leave and join up with a then unknown Irishman? ? What playground nonsense. is this? Why didn't he just sack Gillan and Glover and hire Phil Lynott as bassist /singer? One less wage to pay? Blackmore is full of shit, difficult, cantankerous, burdensome. Don't believe a word of it.
You can tell early on that he didn't get along with Ian...Ritchie would point his amp directly in Ian's direction just to troll him.(The 1972 Copenhagen concert shows this...Also they were touring heavily, and I believe ritchie got Hepatitis at one point.
Phil lynot later wrote a song about this story. It's called don't believe a word.
As good as Lynott was, i don't think he would've cut it with Purple vocalist-wise. No disrespect, but Purple= Gillan just as Zeppelin = Plant and Sabbath= Ozzy. My 2 cents. Cheers !
But you still. Left anyway as great as you.are you don't know what you want ian left and roger left you supposed had what you wanted. Then they don't wanna record black sheep of the family you got an excuse you form rainbow then you tell Ronnie that you want more commercial songs. Then years later what he wrote about you now sing.about love you but you want life to revolve around you and that isn't fair they should have kept ian and got Gary Moore
If he left, band would perform lot better. Just check latest "INFINITE" album. They doing lot better than with this maniac
vitaly goji Yeah right. Stop trolling
