Misguided? I think not. I’m a guider….he he he.

Tina is great. My heart and soul mate for 15 years, and has become quite the Purple Fan. It was her actions that actually caused our first encounter with Purple back in 97. Check out the story and revue from the “Sunrise Fla. show and the Boca, Fl. shows from that date in the Tour Revue Archives. It’s worth the read.

Actually to correct you, I was stating that “Sun Goes Down” had been skipped. It has never been played live and I believe that is a mistake. I even spoke to Roger Glover about it and he stated that sometimes songs don’t work as well as others live……..I agree with that statement, but not regarding that tune. That was one of the heavier tunes from Bananas that I still feel would be a great openner with the groweling keys and then extended further in the middle to become another “Space Truckin’” type jam.

Anyway,

Cheers to you again and put on the glasses because as long as you are a Purple Fan, the “Sun Never Goes Down”.

Just when I thought……………..
That Tracy chappie is not that bad. He is just misguided…………………

But…………

Today I read last DPAS with your name, It had been away for some time.
After receiving I almost literally devour DPAS and then sent it to friends…………where it stays months, years…………

It has been so long seeing the mag I forgot about almost everything, herhehe

I saw the little print and got nervous, owwwwwwwwwwwwwww headache time again.
Should I wear glasses finally or am I just suffering data stress?

Your NAME, which has now become hammered into my brain,was there in the pages of DPAS
You were suggesting that DP should incorporate “Sun goes down” back into their set.

I AGREE!!!!!!!

How’s Tina?

Cheers

A Revelation truly!!!!!!

Cheers

Amazing to see the situation evolve on this forum since the 15th of may, only 2 weeks ago!

It made me scratch the back of my head, ………………….
What more to expect?

Again, I hold no authority in any of this, but I was just hoping to bring us back to a relevant faction, that’s all. The sarcasm and comedic views are fgreat as long as we don’t let it get out of hand. This site is better than that and we need to at least respect each other so that we can continue corresponding properly and with positive results.

Now, I think I’ll sit back in the Hot Tub and have that drink, with Jon Lord “Sarabande” playing in the background.

CHEERS ALL and “Purple Reign…..purple reign……”

Point taken…I´ll do my best and stick to what´s relevant! To Purplepriest:As mentioned before,I hold no grudge and apologise for some of my remarks! As Tracy point out…We´re all PURPLE PEOPLE and should be above juvenile behaviour!!ROCK ON !!!!

That’s just my oppinion and I will gladly sit back and read all the dirty laundry one wishes to divulge, but I’d rather maintain a nice dialogue about what is going on with Deep Purple. There is some really good info that has been discussed and brought to these blogs from all over the world which makes it very intriguing and interesting. I love how we all come from the 4 corners of the world and yet have this great band Deep Purple in common, and share the many experiences and oppinions. Let’s try and maintain a dialogue that is of the same quality that this great website was built on. Let’s not disrespect each other. Let it be known that Purple Fans are above all of that.

Keep it Real…..

Cheers and sorry you don’t (as you state)…”give a f*ck”. I truly gave you more credence than that, but then you see my point and I rest my case……

Purplepriest,
Bravo and beautiful!!!

Stefan,
So if I DID ask help from you, this would be regarded as a shame.Most Unpurple!

To Tracy Heyder,
Reading your ‘non pernonnal, musical focused replies’ is more then sufficient for learning to know you for real.Pity that took a while for some of us.

The line was never so straight as on the new blog.Friendship and respect are sparkling!

Making mistakes is understandable, not being able to appologize isn’t.

I might have done “some Morsey bashing”, but I think it’s exaggerated I ONLY wrote about that. Tracy, sorry, my man, but that’s not true.

If the result of my AUTHENTIC writings is that some(not all)show their “real charactre”, well, maybe………..that’s cool too?

People might think/feel it’s very emberassing the way I write things down.

I can empathize with that opinion(…) up to a certain level, but does it say something about me or them?

“I love you
I want you so close.
But you fool with my emotions.

Ain’t no good luck came my way
Nothing but bad luck.I ve been led astray.
Don’t look on the bright side
There’s too much shine
Gonna stay in the shadow whee I can clearly see.
I need some of what you ve got babe
But it’s dirty, dirty
And it ain’t no good to me(…)”

I see my comments from this afternoon for each of you are still waiting moderation.

Tracy

Gillan fan in heart means:’ We are all in this together’! What about a drink on that?

I just don’t give a f*ck about your opinion about this.
This matter is closed , and we can go happy back to read and write in our all HWS.

With Gillans words: It’s a simple as that…It is a FREE world!!!

Cheers, as always!

Have you all gone completely MAD? What is the point to all of this? Nobody here knows anyone for real, yet there is all of these ‘Very Personal’ attacks based on nothing regarding this site, or the topic of the blog. It would be nice for a change if we could stay “Somewhat” on track for little while.

I can truly understand some remarks regarding some oppinions that are posted about Deep Purple or whatever the Blog subject may be, but how do you guys (and girls) find it even remotely proper to continue on with this “Fan Bashing” subject.

I have done my share of pointing out stuff, regarding “Related” topics. PRIEST by far receives most of my remarks, but they are in conjuntion with his “Blackmore Worshiping” and I do it with no “Mal-intent”. I respect him and the rest of you more than that, and I believe many of you have lost your way and gone way out of line.

Putting personal info for the rest to tear appart out there is not a good idea (as you can see). You very quickly get a lesson on who and what you are dealing with and then it is too late.

I do believe that there is some very “constructive” words that most of you have regarding this wonderful band DEEP PURPLE. But I think many of you have reduced your efforts to “destructive” words that have nothing to do with it and are reducing the very best Web-site to a Soap Opera that belongs on less quality sites.

Focus…….Focus……Focus…..have a drink and Focus…….

Cheers,

Probably I ll try to use one of mine G mail accounts as well.

Stefan…..

POINTS MADE.

I already did agree to that but appearantly you are still annoyednot satisfied

In your last effort you are talking about taking responsibility and so on…..
I m taking most of that most of the time, so……
I can’t expect others to bail me out?
Well, that sounds very negative again.

MY VISION it is that we are here on this earth to HELP each other where/if possible.
It’s not a MUST and neither did I write things here in that order : asking for help.(…)
It evolved into something I did not foresee.

I m just one of the millions that slip of the road while getting used to internet and so on……

Blogging/writing on the Net in general is a dubious affair.
But appearantly WE’re doing it anyway.

I can’t give you a good reason for me posting on THS and other sites.

I already said : You have made some points which were right.

1) THS should be mainly(…)about DP and so on
2) That I got way too personal.For different reasons(…)

I expect it to be a struggle avoiding it completely from now on, because FOR ME things in life are not seperated in that way.

I think we have to agree that we disagree?

Have a NICE Purple day?

M.

It is in fact M Mike.The M stands for Modesty you see, for I’m the best dancer/singer/worker/…
…fighter since recently…above all with the Most evil character.I noticed we have that in common.That one and only Hard Rock Passion/ seems the second valuable possession we share.
Rests only the last issue…Are you too a complete whacko? I practise that all the time.

Charlotte laat je spoedig met veel plezier haar
e-mail adres weten in een reply’tje op haar manier.You shall see!

I always thought I was the toughest, but after
reading you, I’m not so sure about that.OOhhh yes.I am sure again…it is me after all……

I have the hardest backage ever from f….euh from
following Limbo Rock Lessons.We are all practising bravely, I manage till 85 cm!!!

I’ve got to go,all my friendship and a firm hug,but…please mind my eye!!!

I do have that long hair as IG, but I’m defitly no female.

First that ‘wishfull thinking’ any woman would enjoy you hug…Now showing jealousy for a female fanclub invented in your mind…Self confident gentlemen would not even think on that.

I notice that you are the only conceited ‘fan’ here amongst all others, so bossy and demanding for your ‘urgent needs’.

Nevertheless to stay on the toppic for you…Explore the lyrics of your mighty DP family, it will sharpen your intelligence and make you street wiser.

I’m off now, meeting my dear friend Charlotte and some other ladies and men of ‘my harem’ for a toast
to Purplepriest and as always to DP.Nothing as magic as the love of friendship…
Cheers!

Dat blauwe e-mail afdruksel is gelukkig faut.GEEN ik. voor mijn naam.Wat een shock dat dit in het blauw kwam, maar gelukkig niet correct.(zie dat ik een kluns ben…)

A very short one here, I have a heavy day waiting.
I geef je hierbij mijn email zomaar door.Als jij nu naar mij dan gewoon een mailtje stuurt heb ik toch automatisch het jouwe !Voor mij nooit geen administrator, ik gebruik vaak gedeelde computer, dus ik zou nogal last hebben.
Hier volg ik.annemie666@gmail.com
Ik zie dat de ‘ad’ erg vreemd gedrukt staat maar dat heeft geen belang.Dus: mijn voornaam,drie zessen,ad,gmail,puntje,com

Voor mij kan dat doorgeven geen kwaad, want ik gebruik filters.Ik vraag wel het nooit door te geven op andere plaatsen.

In geval het niet lukt(ik ben een enorme pc-kluns), dan ‘bespreken’ we hier de volgende poging.)

Voor charlotte zulen we gewoon afwachten, daar zullen we wel van horen!

Een hele mooie dag nog, en misschien kan je een kort ‘testje’ doen om te versturen!

Read again….I´m the asshole, not you!!The idea was to piss you off to show me….Okay? Arrogant? Yeah,maybe I am…It´s just that “feel sorry for myself” caracters sometimes gets under my skin!If something bad happens one can´t rely completely on other people,or shrinks or whatever. As an individual one have to accept the most responsibility personally, and don´t expect others to bail you out!I have no intention of changing you,merely ask you nicely to go elsewhere and feel sorry for yourself….Oh, and take yor female fan club with you,please!I want to discuss the mighty DP family and music in general! I´m sure there´s a “whacko” site somewhere way,way,way out there!

E mail adressen uitwisselen?

Hoe werkt dat?

Ik kan t hier wel plaatsen, maar of dat verstandig is?

Misschien via de administrator?

Welterusten, Mark

What makes you think YOU would be the one to change me?

I think that rieks of arrogance/pretention.

I was not born yesterday, I have a lot of experience under my belt, and you are certainly not the first he/she thinks she’s doing something very bright talking that way to me.

You hold no grudge?! Hell, do I care , man!

If you get annoyed by something you read just scroll further……….

As if only talking about music/DP is everything!

Btw, I m not an asshole……….

Talking like that really makes no intelligent impression.

If you don’t mind the understandable comments, neither will I.I will do this one in Dutch, but that is for the first and the last time.If you think it is a good idea, I think it’s better to pass our own mail-address to eachother, perhaps Mike and Charlotte can do that too.If there is then something more personnal, it is is never a problem.Here we go!

Zelden heb ik iemand zo lief en gevoelig ‘tegengekomen’. Replies geven -als je echt alles ovedenkt en er echt om geeft-,is beslist heel uitgeput.
Waar jij mee leven moet is een nachtmerrie, en toch al zo lang.Ik ondervind zelf, dat al heeft een mens goede vrienden die al het beste menen, ze verdriet of pijn wel begrijpen, maar niet meer als deze blijft duren.Het wordt vervelend of je wordt als flauw of onwillig gezien.
Ik heb nog nooit iemand zo flink en moedig als jij geweten.En dan nog al die domme -en nu ik je veel beter begrijp-zo’n kwetsende antwoorden op de site.Het kon toevallig niet erger geweest zijn.Ik kan mezelf niet in de spiegel zien, of de ogen gaan naar de grond.
Ik weet ook wel dat we nooit weten hoe het met ‘Later’ of ‘Die andere Wereld’ zit.Wat ik wel weet is dat er zo iets in ons zit als ‘een ziel’.Volgens mij is dat zo dat eninge stukje dat men zelfs met de beste scan niet vindt, ons eigen Ik.
Dan denk ik altijd aan Jim Morisson , Er zijn de twee werelden, de gekende en de ongekende…
daartusen zijn Doors…Dat is ook helemaal ‘mijn denken’.
Mij heeft nog nooit iets zo geraakt dan iemand als jij , die zoveel met zijn geliefde inzit , dat hij zelfs terug wil gaan,in de tijd moest hij kunnen.Dit om proberen het goed te maken…’to restore’…nu ik weet wat jij daarmee bedoelt en heb ik er echt mee geweend.Wat ik nu wil zeggen is , dat er echt in die andere dimensie, achter die ‘Doors’ waarschijnlijk ook iemand is , die je ondertussen heel goed begrijpt, en heel veel met je inzit.Jou liefste, die heel erg zou willen dat je niet ongelukkig bent en je zeker vergeven heeft. Charlotte zegt dat toch ook, draai het eens om…wat zou jij doen?…
Hele lieve Mark, wil je niet proberen, beetje bij beetje ,jou liefte meisje elke dag mee in je hart en je gedachten nemen, maar daarbij geloven dat echt alles goed is…het is echt alles goed…Als jij jezelf kan vergeven, zal ook dat schulgevoel minderen, en de pijn!
Alle mensen zijn bijna zo van dat ‘flink doen’.Ik niet, en M&Ch duidelijk ook niet, en hun ‘bunch’ lijken mij geen ‘zachte eitjes’. Jij ‘doet’ niet flink, jij ‘BENT’het.
Zou je kunnen eerst wat tot rust komen, laat deze replies maar wat meerusten, het is echt wel heel veel tegelijk nu.Als je een ander mail adres goed vind, laat ik het mijne wel in het ‘Nederlands’ of ‘Antwaaeerrps’ weten(daar snappek zellef oek niks van mor joa.)
Alle verdiet en alle pijn is niet opgemerkt bij jou, en het is veel te ver gekomen. A.u.b., twijfel ook nooit meer aan jezelf, ik zou in jou plaats zot worden denk ik…Je doet het fantastisch.Ik vind dat je na al deze site -rotzooi nu verscheidene prachtige replies hebt.Ik ben er zo blij om..Ik was zo verlegen mij’ public ‘te excuseren, maar nu ben ik heel tevreden dat gedaan te hebben.Ik denk dat anderen ook niet meer bevooroordeeld zijn.En binnekort krijgen we weer vanalles naar de kop, zo van ++++**** je weet wel!Maar eender hoe, wees maar gewoon jezelf, zoals altijd, en trek je van andere opmerkingen niets meer aan!
Net als bij Charlotte , kan je ook bij mij er zeker op rekenen ,dat je -eender op welke manier -niet alleen zult staan als er met Ian iets zou gebeuren.
Op de muzikale replies zal je moeten wachten, want ik ben nu ook zo moe(vooral mijn hand ,die bijna weigert dienst te doen om te surfen.(een extraatje na mijn ’schip in draaikolk’avontuur.)Maar ja, zolang de rhum maar gered is!!!(just kidding)

Probeer maar een beetje te relaxen, het komt wel goed.Als het mag ,hierbij een klein knuffeltje van me aan Ian,en een hele flinke aan jou!

PS Als je dat van de mail niet goed vind, begrijp ik dat natuurlijk ook, dan vinden we mekaar altijd op de THS.Laat het maar weten!

For we came to this not on purpose, it is at the moment the only ‘place’…So perhaps you can skipp just for the time being…

Cheers to you!

Let´s see if you get this….I hold no grudge to you as such,my comments was meant sincerely,tounge in cheek and with a little nasty twist.Why?…..Well, I´m no Freud…but,my wish was to maybe annoy you enough, to do something about your emotional problems! You know…”I´m gonna show that a**hole”….get my drift?

Instead I succeeded to annoy all female bloggers with maternal instincts(no surprise!!!)I truly tried to get you Priest,and what makes you tick!At this point I had enough….For heavens sake you´re starting to depress me!!!

Sharing personal emotional issues is O.K. to an certain level….But the main issue on this forum in my opinion, must be the music and everything concerning Deep Purple!Again…I wish you the best of luck,Priest….But…Please,go easy on the “Borderline” stuff!!Cheers!!

The others……….
Thanks for the kind words.

But I do, like I already tried, have the feeling as well I might go to far now and then.

Yeah, I never cease to show my vulnerable side.

In real life as well.

I m familiar with the theory that only strong people can show their vulnerability.
I once did hold on that that one.
But in recent years I d rather get rid of it.
EMOTIONAL PAIN is a strange thing, it really does extend itself in a literal sense!
And the moment that happens, I seem not to be able to think straight anymore.
How unpractical!

The same with sleepless nights.
So unpractical.
Why does one’s system do that?

If there’s a God, I think he really ****** up making us.

The moments you need the sleep for your rest your worries and your woes are larger than life.

But………….
Again………….
There’s is a point in your rude suggestion, Stefan :

To put it this way :

It might be completely legitimate and utterly human to express oneself like the way I do, it often does NOT pay.

Stefan, I kicked myself in the **** many times but it did NOT work.
Shrinks and so on stare at me like they would seeing an alien.Are you a defender to put your emotions into coma using anti depressants?

And BOOZE, well, I adopted that strategy from my last “love” 2 years ago, It has become a habit now and it does not solve the heartache.
You know that line : “I tried to drown my sorrows but they are very good swimmers.”?

GUILT is a rotten thing, I wish I could think otherwise.

I promise to be never honnest with you again, but
PLEASE…………

SPARE ME FROM THAT HUG!!!

I thank you for such a lot of valuable information and own meanings about this. I was so surprised to read that you also didn’t like the start of GH with DP. I liked even more to hear that you were a Gillan fan, and the rest of that phrase in special !!!

I never heard of 7th Star and Face The Truth and Phenomena. I will start with 7th Star. I travel slow in exploring musical landscapes. Part of it is ,that I fill ¾ of the time with DP and with all that is happening in present around and with them !

I wonder how it is possible that me (and most of our ‘Highway Star bunch’)could be so blinded for your knowledge. I know that I can write in name of us all, that we acted not clever and most of all not fair. We will regret this so much, but I think you very well know by now !
You are right about not knowing people just by replying on this site. For myself I can decide in this matter as far as I want. Regarding our group, I can’t. You may know we will be ’spread’ over Antwerp, Gent, Limburg, Brussel. Be sure, we are no creeps or weird crap. I had to move to another town as them anyway. From the lovely country to the grey suburb of Antwerp. DP is the concrete that sticks us together, young ,older ,oldest. Only nobody except me and Mickey likes writing. I’m always afraid to do something wrong, So I prefered writing together with Mike. I fear already to do a mistake, by answering or going into something too personal. Don’t you mind about what people say and write when you come out with some open inner moods ? I ‘m always ahead in defense, by closing all the personal gates leading to my inside info. Especially on a public side. In fact only to prevent myself from becoming hurt. You do the opposite thing, you are really though ! After all comment is never away !
I let you know for myself and from the rest our group the exploring in the music travelling. btw You are a cool writer !

It is unthinkable that someone has to go through such torture. I try to soften your sorrow to mention to you :see how much pain and how much tears you had and have for your girlfriend. If it had been otherwise, wouldn’t you forgive if you saw how much grieve and sorrow your love was baring ?
I think too ,that you can’t handle things hasty. It is not the purpose to ‘replace’ your love just like that. I will tell you one thing that happened in our group. The oldest sister of my two gipsy girlfriends (yes, three sisters) got pregnant. For that people’s it was a shame and she was forced to marry the ‘future father.’ This man mistreated the baby time after time, until the little one was placed in a nursery. When the oldest sister threatened to leave him due to other violence, he swore he would commit suicide. The situation became repeated time after time…until, the girl returned home and slept there. Next morning when she returned the door was locked, and she thought she was thrown out by him. When they forced entrance he had commit suicide. And now she stands back in life, with her baby, living as when have been hit on the head with a rock by moments…and although it is not necessary she feels guilty all over, she does. I think now, what must that be with you when there was true love.
43 years is in fact so very young. People marry ,get divorced ,feel lonely as can be hiding behind marriage, fall bored asleep forgotten the passion, stay free … but…Our motto is that in all situations one has to have true loving friends, not only for amusement. When facing our ‘groups split up‘ we agreed already to mail/call/support eachother in all kind of ways. I’m not saying it is a solution, but –only in experience-it sure can do a lot. Please be sure you are much too hard for yourself, no guilt, then all will be perhaps work better. Whenever there happens something with your cat, and your friends are not available, I will be !
When there hangs a black cloud over the day, just let it know. If we really got expelled we will start our all own side ! Ciao xx

Now, time for Ozzys ‘Crazy Train’ and cooking. Perhaps I’m a bit crazy too…I intent to stay free, sharing soul and fun, I think for all my life. Around me, I see no ending of love or happiness due to age, and I don’t put time on things…I’m only a bit interested in Zakk Wylde, but he wears that familiar ring…

Scratch fever,is that like Malaria?
I hope so!

However tempting that thought might be…..I´m happily married!But if you were my girlfriend, you would certainly not need a shrink! If one always is sincere there´s almost impossible to misunderstand each other,would´nt you say?That´s what any relationship is all about…..honesty!!BIG HUG to you Annemie!!!And now…Could we get back to music???

How thoughtful of you, being so worried if this is not to personnal.
If I would be your pet I surely would sharpen my nails.
If I would be your girlfriend,I would need a shrink!

May I wish you a very nice scratchy day!!!

I thought the topic were Ritchie´s latest load of crap?I have no intention of offending you,but…..First of all: Don´t you think you´re a little bit too personal on this blog??Second:Are you kidding….still sobbing about your girlfriend since `92?????Be a man & GET OVER IT your miserable f**k!!! Yeah, I know it´s harsh but you obviously need a boot in your behind to get on with your life!!

Get a shrink,start exercising or start drinking heavily….anything,just do something and stop whining!!I mean this with the best of intentions!Good luck!!!

That’s a story!

Well done, Mike!

I do understand you are not a pair reading the “nurse story and living in different towns and so on”.

It’s ofcourse impossible to really know people through “ONLY” writing on things like this, but we try anyway.

It’s very hard to give you advice on what kinda tracks/albums and so on.
It’s not being lazy. On the contrary.

Is it not taste/persoanl opinion?

I kinda grew into his stuff since 1977.

At first I despised his contributions in DP.
I really hated the approach he took.
I was(still am, I think)a HUGE Ian Gillan fan and this man …………..

I did not like Play me out, his soloalbum, did NOT knew anything by Trapeze, only listened shortly to Hughes/Thrall when it was released.

I was NOT open to him after my first notions of him.
After all, was he not responsible for DP’s demise?
Was he not the one making DP too soft? Soul,disco and funk were really our(hardrocklovers)enemeis and HE chose to incorporate that into DP’s sound! Still, I loved most of the albums he did with DP, espescially BURN, ofcourse.
His sour outings towards DP after the split and saying everyone (Rainbow, Whitesnake, Gillan) were stuck in the past while he evolved, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, those lines really got me annoyed.

To make a long story short :

Like in DP Glenn showed with doing vocals on 7th Star(Iommi/Black Sabbath), Face the truth(John Norum),some wonderful stuff with Phenomena and Gary Moore he could deliver.
And that without leaning too much towards his funk/soul inclinations.

I think that period kinda unblocked my thinking about him and after that I happily strolled along with what he did.

Fortunately he made MANY things in the Classic Rock vein after that.
You have to explore themselves, one by one, I think.

Sorry I can’t spare/save you time.

Time is precious. It’s one of my mayor problems now I m 43.

But I feel certain things just NEED time.
We often want to make haste………
Im afraid that does not work.

I could give you a “list”, but……….

Like with DP, how to chose?!

Just take your time, without too much reservations……….

I have YET not seen/heard very much of Live in Australia.

I have a lot I have not watched/heard yet. There’s is so much.
And I have a lot on my mind, ahem………

I always return to my “interest in things concerning DP and their off shoots but very often in the last 5 years my mind is so overloade my passions get overshadowed.

I have seen rata blanca, I liked that, indeed, more like “we” DP people love, I think.

FUSED I found too heavy, too dark.

But I like things on that album as well, espescially “I go insane”.

Will be continued, I suppose.

Good luck on your travels through GH land.

I just typed a reply and I disconnected myself from the Net so it got lost …….somewhere.

Again?

Ok……….

Annemie,

Zoe, the Lady of my house and life for about 13 years died at the end of 2005.

Ofcourse DEATH is unavoidable for all of us.
And animals often last not that long like we do.

But…..

I would have loved the peace of mind I often yearn for.

I feel she went too early.
I m not totally sure but I feel I was kinda absent in my thinking in that year.
Again(…)
I did NOT do things at the right moment, so…..

I try to cherish my memories with her, her love for us(…), the smile she gave me the moment I had to leave her at the vet.

I know I should not live that way, but……I anticipate Ian’s death with great FEAR.

But, ofcourse, all things come to an end.

In my case that would really feel like the end of an era.

Through my ex girlfriend I found Ian, who is an amazingly loving charactre.
I lost my ex end of 92(My fault as well), Zoe end 2005…………

I wonder…………….

If this is becoming a bit too personal.

I m gonna try answer another one over here.

Goodnight.

Only me today, with some GH comments/wonderings ! When Mike and me are in the same town, we overlook and write together.Besides this, Mike went to the hospital again,to stitch his eyebrew. They first just ‘glued’ it, but it infected. The better part is, that he’s in love with the nurse, and so he hopes this ‘eye’ can leed to sparks ! Let’s hope she has an ‘eye for him’!

You are very right about Lord. He has the ‘Hard Rock power’ and those sweet melancholic feelings as well in his soul. He is a genious. We watched that DVD ‘with Pictures’ from him, after he left DP.Only to witness this impressive man in his daily life/work makes one touched.

An Island…wow …Perhaps I can buy the island next to yours with my Fireball/House of the blue light/……Rapture (yes I know… wth SM… I will play that one
softer…well as usual…)

I don’t dare to tell how long I havent’t listen to Glenn !So I’m gone come out stupid !(yet less stupid then I was,influenced, only partly reading your replies.)
I tried out’ Live in Australia’,listnened to Glenn with Ratta Blanca, to Fused (hmmmmmmm with Iommi), to some FUNK/other songs on youtube. Glenn is a very creative and charming artist.Honnestly, I must confess that what Blackmore means for you compared to Morse, that means Gillan for me compared to Hughes. Now,the good news first : Your ears are definitly in great shape. Glenns voice is in general rather very high ,but I noticed he can be surprising like in Soulmover. But the high pitches are sometimes absolutely overdone. I didn’t like those few Funk-songs I tried out. Not for those high notes here but for the style in general.I know sometimes ‘one have to learn to taste’,but for me now, it was ugly. In Fused my attention got captured by Iommi.(I think this one keeps always his identity.) Do you like him ? In Ratta Blanca I think Glenn sounds more like in earlier days. What do you think of ‘Live in Australia ‘? ‘Mistraeted’ was first a shock to me. I do see how Glenn goes into it and I doubt…but it seems still overdone for me .Whiter shade…, Nights in… then I compare spontaneous with the classics…
I really wonder what songs you like and which one you dislike. Also what would you recommand from him that deserves most attention ? I know it is of course personal, but it is very nice to have a little guidance to save a lot of search.(And you saw him live.)

The thing I can’t help is , whatever I listen to, and for all what I become even enthousiastic for…Afterwards, nothing sounds more wonderfull and everlasting as DP. For me, Mk 2 with Ritchie, Mk 6 with Satriani, Mk7 with Steve, Mk8 with Don…If they wouldn’t be there no more, I would be incurable sad !I believe you don’t mind me saying this, I will never mind again if you come up for your MK 2 !

I hope you can recommand some GH songs which I shouldn’t miss !(if not to much waste of your time)

You know, in our all ‘cheering up mix’ of alcohol and music I discovered a forgotten most important ingredient :A big kiss for you, with all vibes of friendship added!!!

P.S. I understand you love animals too ! So I want to let out something. Don’t think we are agressive !(with the blue eye.)You know, a guy from a group of Emo’s had terrible fun that evening, looking at us and showing something vague. We came nearer, and that bastard was holding a cat with the behind legs in his right hand, shaking her and holding her high. He said to us :This is a ‘Wonder Animal’…She is moody like an Emo but she sings as a Hard Rocker. And the next was that Mike’s fists gave a faster answer then his mouth.He got the blue eye back, while making sure the animal got away !(that was the most important anyway !)So, you see, it was not on purpose, just love animals as much as Hard Rock!

ian gillan was great singer in EARLY YEARS 70 , sorry but since END YEARS 80 mister gillan isN’t good singer !!

hello

Abandon was a filler album for tour momentum, nothing more, they had to learn how to make records again after that, same with S&M.

BN are time warping, but look who’s in charge… he’s been doing that since 1977 or so, nothing new there.

One thing is for sure : Ian and Zoe(…) my cats I had with me since may 92……..

They truly are/have been one of the blessings in my life.

I love “Pictured Within”.
I almost felt/insulted hurt myself when a certain “person” said : “I can imagine depressive persons to go into committing suicide after hearing this one.”

That was, I felt, really blunt about such a beautiful record full of integrity.

I do not always feel the need hearing “melancholy music” when I m depressed and it NOT necessarily helps but I do cherish albums like this.

Together with gems like “live in Japan” and “In rock” I think I ought/am obliged to take that with me to an island.

BTW> “The straight jacket line”just popped up. Just irony…………Well, it is for now….

btw.Mike, If a frozen hamburger will do , shall I sent you one?

PS Do you know where ‘where is my straight- jacket’ came from , or is it just for fun? Ohhhh, my eye…no steak to put on it…only the hope that my opponent will show more symmetry in face as me !

Come On!!!!!!!! It’s time to Buck Up a little, don’t you think?

Now I get it……when I go to the Deep Purple shows and I look around and wonder “What the hell has happened to these people”…….I now know what it is.

Sounds like “Mutually Assured Distruction” to me.

Time to go listen to some Pat Boone or Tom Jones…..clear all of this I just read out of my noggin.

Cheers

About hell…Gillan sings’No laughing in heaven’ and…Ozzy yells he’s sure -with our kind of parties-we sure go to hell…and that we all gonna have a ******* good time there!
So…I can’t hardly wait!Yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, you seem to be very different as how you look at first side in your replies !I think I must do more reading ‘between the lines’ an use more imagination.
Of course , when we are debating again,my ‘Smith and Wesson’ has to be in reach for keeping my bloodpressure down, but in fact, being truly honnest you bring a lot of smiles!
Cheers for now!!!

One of my remorses(what’s in a name?)is that I feel I robbed myself of at leat ONE.

Some people say that you chose your destiny.
Well, I KNEW “a certain thing” would become “my cross to carry for life(…).
And so, for 16 years it has become just that.

Maybe I need to be reborn to get rid of it?

In certain places I felt inclined to respond but hesitated.

Although I tend to be very open and way too far concerning personal stuff “Too much is not enough” is not one of my lines.

Well, THIS is just trying to keep a hold on that lid.

Yeah, I m sensitive, OVER SENSITIVE, I ve been told once.

There was a time in which I felt I could be just me and still find happiness.
Times have changed : I m not that age anymore, circumstances(which were better)lost forever, society seems to have changed…..

I learnt hard lessons but the “frame” is differerent from “then”, so how to impose knowledge?

STOP>

For now…..

What was this thread about anyway?

Ohhhhhhhh, “the Secret Voyage” one. I have NOT heard it yet.

Right now I d rather prefer a copy of F.U.N.K. to prepare myself a bit for the next forthcoming gig by you know who(I suppose).

Today I finally got into seeing the DVD “Live in Australia/The basment One” by GH.
I must say……….it was hard.

I LOVE Glenn but , maybe I m getting more and more sensitive also in that field, his high pitches are becoming kinda painful for my ears.
Was it really that different(his singing)in the 90’s? Or is just me?

Doubts keep piling up.

Where’s is my straight-jacket?!

It seems sad and far from easy for you!
It looks however not that you are so stupid, or you wouldn’t be aware of your ‘mistakes’.That dwell off this time made us see things in an all different way.In our debates we could not guess that you have such deep feelings .Excuses us for being personal this once, but you are a very sensitive person!Only one question.Are you not to hard for yourself? In our movie that person even has a much nicer live then he could ever be aware of.
When someone like you is so struggling with memories and perhaps remorses every day again can be sure he has a good character.You know that is much more worth then being a smart rotten businessmen without a conscience! You deserve for sure an uncountable bonus to enter a happier life ! And even that is so difficult when you are caring and puzzling about all facts! We wish you strenght to manage !

When we are disagreeing again, this thougt is still in our minds,but of course we will be writing *****to you! You know we are more evil as you!
Just kidding , Strangeways is all we got…

maybe , the greatest guitarplayer on the planet for moment !

i m 42 yers , love morse , satriani, beck, jimmy H , joe bonamassa, gary moore, john sykes , steve lukater , john norum, malmsteen, karl cochran,and more other but ritchie blackmore is very special !

the
greatest

after , is question lover or not lover production, style and direction blackmore s night

but if ritchie for example , playing hard rock 80% material bl night in rainbow , no surprise , greatest songs and could be greatest lp hard rock

That’s, indeed, being me.
Well, part of it……….

Mr. Destiny : it seems like I resemble him……..

My stupidity lies in the FACT I did more than one stupid move/c
