I think Lars and company is lobbying to the HOF that all members should be inducted, thats why Robert Trujillo was inducted. Nobody lobbies for Nick Simper, Tommy Bolin, Steve Morse, Don Airey, etc. Before the induction Bruce Payne could have been talking to the HOF.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Randys)Sun, 01 May 2016 13:31:03 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501249,from=rss#post501249https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501249,from=rss#post501249RE is very findable- not a good excuse. It's up to Rod- and if he didn't turn up for this then for sure you won't see him again. nondisclosed_email@example.com (JohnH)Sun, 01 May 2016 07:19:51 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501175,from=rss#post501175https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501175,from=rss#post501175Sheer ignorance on HOF/RS jury on one hand, lack of "cojones" on band's side to demand Nick's presence on the other (the same story as with Don and Steve).nondisclosed_email@example.com (tomek dp)Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:33:05 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501008,from=rss#post501008https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501008,from=rss#post501008They should have made a statement like Steve Miller did, questioning this whole charade. Despite what Gillan stated before, in the end he just wanted all publicity to promote HIS band. nondisclosed_email@example.com (dp344)Sun, 24 Apr 2016 12:50:25 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500995,from=rss#post500995https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500995,from=rss#post500995I heard the same thing but by someone else. It appears that the RNRHOF contacted Simon Robinson(way to late). He suggested Tommy and Nick be inducted. It didn't happen.nondisclosed_email@example.com (doggone)Sun, 24 Apr 2016 11:24:45 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500940,from=rss#post500940https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500940,from=rss#post500940Interesting to hear Roger quip on some of the new interviews to promote the telecast on HBO next week, that it was probably the cost to the HoF as to why other members of DP were not inducted. Good one Rog!! Those mofos at HoF need to be exposed. nondisclosed_email@example.com (nyfan)Sat, 23 Apr 2016 06:42:22 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500761,from=rss#post500761https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500761,from=rss#post500761Ahh! I just received A Matter Of Fact in the mail today and on page 188 it mentions that due to the Evans fiasco of '80, a California court ruled that there had to be 3 of 7 original members in the lineup to legally call themselves "Deep Purple". When DP did a brief tour in '11, Roger sat it out as he had just become a dad and it mentioned that those gigs were technically "illegal" as only the Ian's were members. It goes on to say that if they had asked Nick to fill in, it still would be illegal as he had signed away his rights to the group. I wonder if his signing away of rights had anything to do then with the HoF excluding him since he wouldn't be considered an original member anymore?nondisclosed_email@example.com (RatBatBlu)Sun, 17 Apr 2016 02:41:58 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500675,from=rss#post500675https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500675,from=rss#post500675quote:dp344 wrote: And didn't do anything about it.

Don Airey played with Nick last year in Moscow. So there are connections. And they clearly said, they found it's a fault, that Nick wasn't inducted.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Friedhelm)Thu, 14 Apr 2016 20:47:51 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500617,from=rss#post500617https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500617,from=rss#post500617Guess that will never happen. DP had enough opportunities to invite Nick over the years. If they asked him now for not being invited to the HOF I think it's too late. They should have made a statement like Steve Miller did, but they decided not to.nondisclosed_email@example.com (dp344)Thu, 14 Apr 2016 20:38:36 +0000 Re: Why Simper wasn't Invitedhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500614,from=rss#post500614https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p500614,from=rss#post500614Hear, hear.

They knew: RB would most likely not attend. THey knew RE was nowhere to be found. DC and GH live in the states. They only would have flown in RG, IP and IG from out of the country and put them up in the hotel and all the other costs, chairmans' dinner etc......just happened by coincidence that IG and RG were already inToronto with ezrin working out the lyrics and vocals for new album... Hmm Would like for DP at some point to allow Simper to sit in and play on a few tunes...maybe 50 yr reunion?? nondisclosed_email@example.com (nyfan)Thu, 14 Apr 2016 02:57:10 +0000
