Not hanging by the phone
Ian Paice appeared on the Classic Rock Show that aired on TeamRock Radio on August 20. There does not appear to be a way to listen to the interview again, but Classic Rock magazine has a couple of quotes posted on their site.
The quotes deal with Paicey’s current relationship with Blackmore (if any):
I donāt know that heās still my friend. I donāt believe it. I donāt have anything there that convinces me heās the guy I used to know.
I donāt think Ritchieās changed ā I just think heās become a more concentrated version of himself through the years. Itās sad because itās unnecessary. I hope Iām wrong. If Ritchie reads this and gives me a call, and says, āWhat the hell are you talking about?ā Iāll go, āThatās fantastic.ā But Iām not hanging by the phone.
I didnāt put the wall up. He knows Iāve been here for 40 years. He knows who I am. I donāt have his phone number; I donāt have contact with him. Friends keep in contact.
Thanks to MacGregor and Blabbermouth for the info.

Now there are rumblings from JOLT that there may be a Rainbow reunion. I can see that over a DP one …..without Jon of course.
