The real issue on the DP fiasco re HoF appearance was DP's (Ian Gillan's) assinine response to RB not showing. I never felt RB would show and he clearly was trying to set-up Bruce and DP with his initial comment (nobody can deny RB from showing). Clearly RB used social media to his advantage and DP needing to respond swiftly (as this is 2016 not 1971) put that high and mighty response back.

After pissing off the majority of the DP fanbase Gillan back-tracked and then put some additional wording on the original statement (or in his word's the unedited statement) to make it less absurd. At that point the damage was done and his "unedited" response came after the fact. Whether its true or not IDK...but clearly RB clowned Bruce and Ian Gillan.

Glover and Paice not saying anything, makes them look spineless...



 emoticon We both probably read different responses from IG and DP camp. What a crime they commited? They denied the request coming from RRHOF to perform with Ritchie... and maybe even with Ritchie playing instead of Steve?! What a shock! Only fools or people in 20+ years coma can be "suprised" by this... Steve is THE ONLY guitar player for Deep Purple in 2016! Anyone who expected "oh maybe they are going to budge, everyone wants to see Ritchie with them.... so they have to do that" is just mindless freak!

So you yourself are actually admiting that it was some sort of "trap" created by RB?! So he actually made fake victim of himself because he never really considered to go there and he just made-up this stuff (blaming DP manager to "refuse Ritchie there - which is absolute utter disgusting LIE!) to damage Deep Purple... and you consider this as "OK behaviour"? Are you kidding me?! It´s Ritchie who published LIE (confirmed by RRHOF crew!) - and you are completely fine with it.... It seems like very dirty unfair game from Ritchie´s side and it´s IG and DP camp who is actually bashed for their position - and their position is nothing else, than understandable decision which should NOT suprise anyone! Yep, Ritchie created pressure towards band (by creating this fake victim feeling) and he set some fans against the band... really what a "great" job from him! IG did exactly what was expected from him - standing behind his bandmates and band itself - because the band is one unity!



But why exclude DC and GH?
They are also inductees and should give the chance to perform. Who is Gillan to ask them not to? Just let them do You Keep On Moving or something like that.

Re: The final word?


As I understood, all inductees are invited (by Gillan) to play during an encore. And: As I pointet out before: If Ritchie would have wanted to play with the band, he could have done it during the Jon Lord memorial concert. He refused then already. But I agree with every word Ritchie says about the RRHoF.

and what gives Gillan the right to decide who he's going to invite and who's going to perform?

I think RRHOF gives in because they are afraid that if they don't do it the way the TOURING BAND (Gillan imo is just the spokesman and the others are the chickens)wants, no-ne from mark II would show up.

I listened back to an interview of Eddie Trunk and JLT, where JLT says he thinks it's classy of Gillan not to show up because not all members were inducted.

JLT was so right. Now Gillan makes a 180 degrees turn, just to get the attention for the incarnation of a line-up that has nothing to do with the RRHOF.

The best would have been that DC and GH would go, perform Burn and that's it.
As finale they could have asked a lot of friends to play Smoke. Just like Dio's Stars project with all those singers and guitarplayers.

But than you have people that don't understand that those people playing aren't Deep Purple The Touring Band.
So DP are forced to show up to avoid this misconception. Right Ptr?

Please - we have NO idea what´s going on behind the scene. Maybe that DC/GH´s condition for performance would be playing with Ritchie and IP and maybe that IP said "no, I want to perform with DP only" (which is absolutely logic)... I think you are really overrating IG´s role in this. It´s just one month - wait till the performance and then review the actual performance. It´s just absolutely useless to create some fictional stories about what we think is going on behind the scene - we have no idea!

I´m just saying that Deep Purple simply cannot "allow" any indication of feeling that Deep Purple are represented in any way by DC/GH... so of course DC/GH should be awarded and I (personally) would have NO issue with their performance WITH current band... plus - there is noone better for making a performance at RRHOF to represent Deep Purple music than Deep Purple themselves....

BTW - you forgot the evolution of that IG´s "family story" which was praised by JLT.... IG said that he is not going there, because his current family and wife are not invited to the ceremony.... but now - the invitation for current family to make a performance arrived from RRHOF. It changed situation... emoticon

You're absolute right about that family remark.

I only didn't know that RRHOF invited the current family.
But if they weren't invited, they could have played just the same. Imho the inductees can invite whoever they want to perform with.
They are just "guests"of the inductees to perform. So Morse and Airey are just guests, who happen to be part of the band that is touring for a couple of years now.

I'm sure the HoF only caved to Gillan's demands because they didn't want another Kiss fiasco where no one played...figured the current touring version was better than nothing at all...

Of course everybody has his own right to invite anybody to anything. Regarding the performance: As I understand Gillan, he only explained, that anyone of the inductees is welcomed to play. Perhaps "invite" was the wrong word.
