If he wants to go down memory lane and be a rock musician again, why doesn’t he do one last blow-out of a tour with Deep Purple, instead of this ‘Richie Blackmore and his band of musos do Deep Purple and Rainbow’?

If Ian Gillan (or David Coverdale, for that matter) isn’t singing the stuff then what’s the fucking point? I know Jon Lord is no longer with us, but this could be the last chance for the classic Purple line-up to go out in a blaze of glory… But Blackmore is the sort of cunt that holds grudges for decades…

Great guitarist though…
