Mk8 is a great band in it's own right ,although I think it's more of a Gillan/Morse-band than Deep Purple, but that is a matter of opinion. Tonight we're going to see & hear Graham Bonnet and JLT in my home town Tampere here in Finland...It's a great idea to have these two Rainbow-vocalists in double bill.Looking forward to it very much.

I would go see them tommorow at twice the price. If MK8 is a cover band they are the best damn cover band I ever paid $50 to see just 2 weeks ago. I would go see them tommorow at twice the price.

So who cares, just let him be. As far RB is concerned it seems like he will only play with someone he can dominate or keep repressed, and when they start do their own thing no matter how minimal they are fired or RB just quits again.

I mean he hasnt anything done anything really memorable for years, and theirs only so many 'Spotlight Kids' you can get away with singing at the same venue!! Wonder if he will sing any Van Halen??? What about a bit of Chas 'n' Dave??? Stop having a go at JLT, why cant he sing whatever he wants!!

HTP is over anyway. Glenn said he would no longer consider that. Apparently, he and Joe did not get along very well, and Glenn also indicated that he is too busy with his own things to go back to HTP. They did two great studio albums and a stellar live one. THAT SAID, however, Glenn indicated he WOULD play with Tony Iommi again (despite Iommi being in Heaven & Hell at the moment). Since Glenn Hughes' change of personal and musical attitude from the Purple days, I would say he is now in a state of mind perfect for some kind of project with Blackmore who'd always been looking for a "bluesy" sound. The time is ripe for that. And since Glenn sings AND plays some hot bass, they'd save money on an extra member!

And stop is NOT JLT, but alle you freaks alwas having a go on Joe. He is a VERY good singer. He can, and should, sing all the songs he wants, and yes he has plenty great songs of his own and with Rainbow and DP. DP right now are on and off playing Hush even that only Paice was in DP at the time they had succes with Hush. At a time they even played Thin Lizzy "The boys are back in town" as first number in the show. They are not better on this matter. Only Coverdale are playing Burn and that number is one of DP best ever, and far better than 99% of what they have done since RB left ages ago. Please Joe, play all the songs you want - you have the voice to do, and that is more than you say about most singers these days. - AND one more thing Joe. Get RB bach with his Fender please. STOP NOW!

And I loved "Stormbringer" with Glenn Hughes from the "Live In Tokyo" album. Any chance of another HTP tour? Maybe they could convince Mr. Blackmore to join them, as he seems quite bored with BN these days (I know I am). As a Mr. McCartney once said, That Would Be Something.

JLT has enough in his library to fill a show with his material. Although they are great songs and someone should be playing them (maybe for his encore).
