( a blond one, so I CAN'T be clever ...) I tried for good, meaning you were not boring, reading your phrase 'everything will grow old...me too ...' The rest of it is not addressed to me I guess, I don't know anything about your symphaties for new music! Sorry for the misunderstanding! To Purplepriest,

That's why I responded to that. And for the ZILLIONTH time : You do NOT know me at all. I am not only into OLD DP. I regularly express my sympathies for new music. For example : Ane Brun, Riverside, Tamelot Maybe you like to provoke me in a certain debate? Why? Am I boring? Why then react? It's all very subjective.

Never noticed that D.P. always change their songs in all kind of variations? They make this unlimited improvisations , so that their songs never become boring. By the way...are you the guy that never 'judge people' and is 'not better then somebody else' ??? Anyway, Happy 2008, also to all the more clever fans ! To the automatic bandrecording of Roberto ,

How does someone sound better in 2007 than in 1987? How does a band with this much experience stay so fresh and exciting? How can DP so lucky to have picked up Morse and Airey? Why am I so blessed to be a fan? Don't know the answers but I'm glad!!! Merry Christmas and Have a blessed New Year DP. I really hope y'all put out another album this year as ROTD is the best Purple record since the 70s. Just me being greedy....but DP sounds amazing and is on fire....remarkable. If DP were baseball players, they would be accused of taking HGH. :-) Can't wait to see what comes of the 40th anniversary....thanks for being the soundtrack for my life...it means a lot!

In other words, bypass the record label and simply go into the studio, make some new music and post the end product on YouTube as videos. Rather than fans having to wait two or three years for Purple to come around to their town or three or four years between new albums, the band could better reach out to its fans by producing new music on a regular basis. Like in the old days. Some bands are already doing this. With YouTube and Mp3 around, perhaps Purple can start doing what it did in the early 1970’s: making a couple albums per year.
