Purple Sunrise: 03.04.95, FL, USA
Hey,
I got this *great* boot CD recently and Gillan mentions they were not acttually on tour. I would be a couple of day out of prision (they were recording Purpendicular).
QUESTION: Is that Steve Morse's first concert with DP?

Purpendicular is their best record since Perfect Strangers, and they both are just as good as those 70's records!!!! So there...

I haven't heard Purpendicular, but PS is not in the same league as In Rock, Fireball, or Machine Head.
In my not very humble opinion, I hasten to add.

Perfect Strangers is not as frantic as In Rock, but PS has got great songs and riffs (just like IR). MKIIb was a different Purple, but still the same...if you know what I mean? IMO PS is just as good as Machine Head, it's only a little different. Same goes for Purpendicular. It's different, but just as good.

So, and you need to help me here 'cos I've no idea, how much of the band's live set is still built around the '70s albums, and how much of it is from PS and Purpendicular?

Burpindicular was just as humiliating as Slaves & Masters and emphatically answered the big question. Would there be life without leader and primary songwriter Blackmore? Hell no!!!

Re: Purple Sunrise: 03.04.95, FL, USA
OK, here it is!
Purple, except Blackmore, wanted Gillan back to do the 25th anniversary. He came back, Blackmore left. Deep Purple went on to do more hard rock, and they still do. Blackmore went on to do ONE Rainbow record (one of their best ever), but then...
What happend when they sacked Gillan in 1989? What did Purples "primary songwriter" do? He gave us Slaves and Master, the worst record in their history, and he was the man behind the hiring of JLT. If ever a big mistake... That was the direction Blackmore wanted the band to go in- AOR crap. Just like he did with Rainbow years earlier. The rest of the band didn't want that. They wanted Gillan back, and Gillan don't do AOR crap.
It's quite easy! Just compare Gillan' solorecords to the direction Blackmore took Rainbow in the late 70's/ early 80's. Blackmore loves a good melody (his own words) and he gladly makes music he knows will sell. Look at the bandmates he had in Rainbow. As important as musical ability- LOOKS and posing!
Purpendicular, Abandon, Bananas and Rapture Of The Deep is at least hard rock, and they're all way better than the Rainbow 80's AOR version and Slaves and Masters.. What has the "primary songwriter" done since 1997? Nothing, except pure crap!!! He's completely lost it, and he's making it harder and harder for the fans, me included, to believe that he ever was the "primary songwriter" in the best hard rock band ever.
Blackmore has lost it, and he will never do anything near as great as 70's Purple/ Rainbow/ 90's Rainbow or even 80's Purple/ 90's Purple. He's not interested in anything than dressing up in weird outfits, pretending to live in another century, making romantic collections of great dance songs.
He wont be back for a 40th celebration, so get over it!
Sad, but true!
But hey, we still have MKMorse

Do you have any idea what AOR is an acronym for? Obviously not.
Album-oriented rock (sometimes referred to as adult-oriented rock), abbreviated AOR and originally called album-oriented radio, was originally an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. This format developed and popularized the repertoire of music currently associated with classic rock.
By accusing Blackmore or any MK of Deep Purple of denegrating to AOR is not a bad thing at all.
All MKs of Deep Purple can however be accused of writing songs to be played on the radio and sold as singles which is a different story altogether.Wanting to get played on the radio and sell your product is a way to feed yourself as a musician.
Strange Kinda Woman was written to be released as a single before Fireball had been completed. Black Night was written after a night in a pub to be released as a single to coincide with and try to sell ‘In Rock’. ‘Never Before’ was released as a single to help sell MachineHead. When some DJs in America caught on to SOTW it became the single instead and was also used to try to sell MIJ.WDWTWA had WFT,Burn had MJTYL.PS had KAYBD and HOBL it was that horrendous ‘Call of the Wild’. So before you start badgering anyone about anything you should get your own act together.
When you say that S&M was AOR, you are right.AOR for most bands comes down to a bands formula for creating an album in hopes that every song is as strong and important as the other within an albums context. I know I’m in the minority here, but songs like ‘Wicked Ways’, ‘Fire in the Basement’, The Cut Runs Deep’ and ‘Fortune Teller’ were not meant to be singles and are much stronger Deep Purple songs than anything done by MK-Smiley and there’s nothing wrong with melody in a song. If it evokes an emotion then it has done its job.
You have been hanging around with your friend GM a little too often and are using words that are just keywords without completely understanding the meaning or context in which you are using them and should really refrain from following in his footsteps because you are both just looking ridiculous at this point.I now realize that English is not your native language but before you start trying to use it in arguments you should really do some research, but not from Larrys dictionary of pointless keywords.
