Re: Gillan on Hall of Fame performance
As much as I thought about it there are only 2 realistic solutions:
- to make an agreement between all current / former members that noone will attend the ceremony.... which is not probable solution because DC/GH are (sadly) very excited about this induction... (actually this would be the best solution for me - simply ignore that, let´s plan some tour for April in Japan and everything is solved) or
- Airey / Gillan / Glover / Morse / Paice (because they ARE the only existing Deep Purple for years back, now and future) performing SOTW (like in TV few months back) and one of inducted members making a speech.... The most diplomatic one probably would be Roger´s speech, the most honest and opened IG´s. Then maybe there could be a performance of David and Glenn, but I dont know with whom....? I dont believe that Paice would perform with them to create something like "imagination" there are also "other" Deep Purple.... because they arent, they WERE.
Everything else is about pure dreaming and unrealistic wish (or nightmare!)....

Re: Gillan on Hall of Fame performance
If Gillan don't want to attend or perform, then I hope he doesn't stop Paicey or Glover if they want to attend the ceremony.
If nobody attend the ceremony from the current lineup, then it's clear that Gillan is the leader and whatever he says everyone agrees.

Re: Gillan on Hall of Fame performance
Inducting Mk's I-III took a large measure of control from Gillan. It basically validates the "Blackmore era" of Purple because it includes two Mk's that Gillan wasn't a part of.
I'm not entirely sure that Gillan genuinely cares about Morse and Airey as much as the induction takes control away from the "Deep Purple" name and history away from Gillan. He has spent the better part of 20 years invalidating other eras of DP, and primarily Blackmore's contribution (and his version of the attendance in 1993) despite playing a set that includes mostly Mk II songs.
Look at it this way. You have the current version of Deep Purple play the Induction ceremony, Gillan can turn around and say that the likes of Coverdale, Hughes and maybe even Blackmore (unlikely) "guested" with Deep Purple, rather than playing AS Deep Purple.
It's odd. I'm waiting for someone to ask Coverdale about Gillan's stance right now.

Re: Gillan on Hall of Fame performance
A lot of bands are dreamin' of being inducted and many are waiting for decades and still not being inducted.
After decades of waitin' and finally being inducted, he will boycott it.
I think Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Grand Funk, Journey, Styx, UFO, Scorpions, Bad Company, ELO, Yes, Boston, Motley Crue, Status Quo, Nazareth, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Foreigner, Pearl Jam, Megadeth, etc., would like to trade places with Deep Purple right now. 😒

No, the different marks simply have a different relevance depending the people you ask. For me Mk II is just slightly more relevant than Mk VIII, I prefer to listen to Mk IV, MK III or MK I. But for me it is also ok that you like MK II and ptr likes MK VIII.
Just like we all know that Sean Connery is James Bond, but Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton are also ok ;-)
Whilst I appreciate that different people like different mks the current mk are irrelevant to the reasons why dp are being inducted and irrelevant to the rock world as a whole,as I asked ptr name the list of artists who quote mk Morse as an influence?BTW for the record I love mk1 to mk4 ,hated jlt in purple but liked the album,and I have enjoyed some mk Morse but find them boring the last 15 years

Now - Blackmore, Coverdale and Hughes simply can not play as Deep Purple because there are Deep Purple! They are "just" former members of the band - and it wont be Deep Purple performance. Therefore they can play only as their guests if Deep Purple allows it!
BTW I disagree with Randys - we have no idea, how the RRHOF is going to be solved. We just know Gillan´s stance (because noone else made the statement) and it´s simply possible that the rest of band is going to agree with him. Paice (in his only statement) said that it´s going to be issue to find the solution for this - whether to make performance or not and who should attend the ceremony, he himself even mentioned that NOT inducting Steve and Don creates issue... The fact is, that Gillan is the only one who presented his opinion and statement publicly - but I think that opinion of members inside the band (as I´m sure they have discussed it) is very similar to Gillan´s. Let´s perform with Steve and Don or dont go there at all.

I think that to see if they are "relevant" or not we should list all the people who like them, rather than count the musicians.
