Richard the Difficult
Glenn Hughes spoke to a Michigan based radio station WMPA, promoting Dead Daisies live dates, and talking about his Blackmore experience, among other things.
When I joined the band, the first weekend I joined the band, we flew to Hamburg together and had a boys weekend. We sat on a bar stool and had a lot of fun. Ritchie, behind the scenes, when I joined the band, was great. And I’m saying this smiling, but when we started working, when the band started kicking into gear, I didn’t spend a lot of time with him, ’cause he had his own dressing room; he traveled alone; he was isolated. He was a little difficult. I’m smiling and chuckling. I love Ritchie. He’s difficult. People are difficult to work with. The band on stage was firing on all cylinders. But off stage, it was a little strange, as we traveled separately.
Listen to the whole thing:
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the info and the transcription.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
He will sing ‘Burn’ for sure 👍 but the big question is will he sing other tracks from the dead Diases first 3 albums.

Ahh artists, where would we be without them?

Here are two setlists:

The Daisies covered Purple songs before Glenn joined them because Doug Aldrich is as much a huge Purple fan as we are.

I guess it’s a case of show me what you can do on stage and I will show you the money formula.
One thing for sure that they have produced a cracking album with every song begging to sung live.
Peace
