translation..."we saw other dinosaurs like Van Halen, The Police and The Eagles earning tens of millions of dollars, and like CC Sabathia, we couldn't pass it up. Even if we can't stand each other."

Yup. But the classic one is when Ritchie Blackmore just stopped playing suddenly for 20-30 secs, 5-6 times per show, for 3 shows in a row when Deep Purple finally decided to kick him out. It's hilarious to see the other members turn around and just look at him sob and get cranky in his own lil' world.

That was back in the 80's when they had just started a European Tour. I have the DVD--can't remember which one but it was the tour that started with "My woman from Tokyo" song. Blackmore quit the band a couple times afterwards. But he was in for the Perfect Strangers Tour.

Yeah, Steve Morse is great but I don't think he fits-in 100% with DP. Not sure if there was someone else that filled-in between the two.

he might not have "fit" with DP, but Steve Morse was/is a way under-rated guitarist with, in my humble opinion, more range than Blackmore. Morse is one of those guys like Robbie Krieger or Joe Perry--guys who are GREAT guitar players, but never seem to get mentioned when discussing the greats.

check out the show that is in my avatar, and then tell me Robbie wasn't great. Look. He's no Page, Hendrix or Stevie Ray (who is ?), but he was damn good--and extremely underrated.

[Bobtheicon]

If you think about it, Jim was the least talented member of the band.
Ray was the driving force (playing bass and keys, and singing when Jim was too f*cked up, all at the same time is pretty incredible). But I would agree that Robbie Krieger was/is a great guitarist. I've got one of his solo albums where he is instrumentalizing some cover tunes and it is absolutely great guitar work.

Ever see Robby tapping?:
