'In Rock' was played with the ES and you can really hear that Gibson whine on the album. Both sound great...just different. Blackmore is a true master of technique. In my humble opinion, maybe the best ever.

I read on Wikipedia that Ritchie used a Gibson ES-335 on Smoke On The Water from Machine Head. This can't be true right. You can clearly hear it's a strat. According to a friend of mine the only way it could be a Gibson is if Ritchie used a Coil Tap which makes it sound like a Strat. Does anybody know anything about this. Here's the link to wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_on_the_Water I Have a Question. I read on Wikipedia that Ritchie used a Gibson ES-335 on Smoke On The Water from Machine Head.

The second time likely boosted his financial interests, at least it should or what would be the point in suing? @6

Yes, probably, but of course true when you’ve sued your former manager who services your former band, twice now. The second time likely boosted his financial interests, at least it should or what would be the point in suing?

You could tell. He did manage to get one in about the creation of "Smoke on the Water". Good interview and slightly amusing for the aforementioned reason.

I'm doing my best to try and get BN out to the northwest but it doesn't look as if it will ever happen. (I didn't say never, lol!)

Sure hope he does an After Show show in a small pub this time....would love to be there for that. A new Album half finished. Almost one per year. Candice is truly crackin' the whip......Purple needs her. Cheers Nice interview and helps gear me up for the show on November 1st.
