Ian Gillan Interview
Ian Gillan took some time off from his North America tour and answerd a few questions from Darryl Sterdan at Winnipeg Sun. Here is a few bits:
About endless touring:
“Every now and again I have my arm twisted to take some time off. But a week or 10 days is about all I can endure before I’m no good to anyone.”
About Blackmore:
“In the early days he was great. I used to room with him. He had a great sense of humour. We were buddies. But later in life, he became something of what is commonly called a control freak. I would put it closer to megalomania, to be honest. He’s a difficult guy. But he’s gone now. We hope he’s happy, but the divorce is final and all the clouds have blown away now.”

Sounds a lot more like Ritchie was a perfectionist. Nothing wrong with that!
September 2nd, 2006 at 11:24Lots wrong with that when we all know that nobody’s perfect.. especially RB.
