yeah, but so what. why shouldn’t he cash in? It’s not the greatest idea, as you say the moment’s long passed but what the ‘eck one final show wouldn’t harm anyone.
I’ve always said this’ll never happen, but for one show, and a big pay out with pre conditions etc, it might just....
If not with the touring band, perhaps with a mk3 line up, Paice on drums possibly.
I think at this point in time, if someone offered Mr Blackmore the right money, you'd find him busking down your local church hall.
There's no reason at all why he shouldn't cash in, indeed good luck to him, this is why he does what he does, so he can cash in, that's fine it's his profession.
I just find it more than amusing how "flexible" his stances actually are on all these things. Goes to show that, despite all the brave everyone has a price and if the ££££ are right he'll do anything.
If the "final concert" was relatively as weak as these recent 2 years of rainbow shows, then it would effectively finish it off in style!
re pay cheques. it should be noted Steve Morse has gone anywhere in world with DP for the last 20 years for the right paycheck.
Because Steve Morse is a member of the band I belive..? Haven't you noticed that..?

I think DH maybe your missing the point, which point being that Mr Blackmore wants everyone to believe that everything is done, "for the fans" or "for nostalgia", which is as much bullsh1t as the claims 20-15-10-5-3 years ago that "he never return to rock" etc etc . He does it for the cash, and for the cash alone. Sure he enjoys playing, but it's quite evident he doesn't give a rat-f*ck for the fans, never has and never will. It's all lip-service. Now he's even prepared to play with his allegedly "most hated, sworen enemy Ian Gillan", Why ? for Nostalgia ? Nope for cash, pure n simple!!.
SO if you want to defend you're hero to the end DH that's your choice but be certain of his true motives in all of this.
I hope he does do this and it's transpires to actually be a "Final Show" and then they all retire. The chances of this being a light weight as the Rainbow outings of late, is quite likely. As usual the expectations will ride unbelievably high and the reality will drag it's backside along the ground like rainbow.
As a side note the prospect of spending time with Don Airey, would be enough to drive anyone to drink, great player but absolutely zero charisma and the personality of a dead dog to round it off! Perhaps the most boring keys player ever compared to Jon Lord.
If Blackmore was going to do this "re-union show" he should've done before Jon Lord left the stage! That might have been worth seeing.

I don't see Steve having a problem either...in fact I see him enthusiastically stepping aside for a night to watch it himself

Seemingly our Mr Blackmore has told Team Rock that he would be prepared to do a show with Deep Purple now, but doubts they'd be interested or allowed by their management. I suspect if their management thought they could make some decent money, they leap on it like fly's round a sh1te!
He would, of course, only be doing it "for nostalgia" oh and though he doesn't say it, of course for a HUGE pay-out I'd imagine.
So looks like perhaps all is NOT so rosy in the BN world anymore and our devotee of all things medieval now fancy's his chances as a Rock God again!
Incredible how these guys change their minds, when they catch sight of some cash! What's integrity worth........ whatever anyone will pay to perform!
Someone should tell our medieval hero that his days for being a rock god, are long long gone. If he was going to do this he should've done it before Jon Lord left us. Now, it's like.....who cares anymore.
Now he's looking more like someone who's pension fund is running short than a serious committed musician. Only thing he's committed to now is the big pay-check!
Blackmore WILL play with Deep Purple
Jon, I don't mean this personal but why do all of your posts concern money issues? If Ritchie wants to play with Deep Purple, Rainbow for the money, it's his good right since he made these bands what they are. Nothing to be ashamed of getting a huge paycheck for that. By playing BN for decades he also has proven himself to not just be there for the cash alone, or he would have returned to rock a long time ago already. If now he thinks his children would do well with an extra college fund or whatever, who are we to judge? We can only comment or critique the actual performance.
I remember you used to sell guitars as well via MIJFenders, or something similar, so I don't think you yourself are some kind of believer in a communist system, and everyones has got to earn money in some way, and are motivated by higher earnings.

Re: BLackmore WILL Play with Deep Purple Again
It will never happen
And I think it's down to purple. They will stay true to what they have said the last 10 years; don't need it

Re: BLackmore WILL Play with Deep Purple Again
Is RB talking about the current line up or the Rod Evans line up of the early 1980's?

Re: BLackmore WILL Play with Deep Purple Again
I'd much rather Ritchie got together with Chas Hodges and Mick Underwood and did a few Outlaw shows!!

Re:
Purple and Rainbow are playing the same sized halls this year. Reunited, they're still going to play the same sized halls, they're not magically going to jump to filling stadiums.
So common sense tells us there is no commercial reason for reuniting. If Ritchie is really only in it for the money, he may as well carry on as Rainbow.

Re: BLackmore WILL Play with Deep Purple Again
True for a tour, absolutely. But if it was a one-off, they could choose a large place, raise ticket prices and record/film, so on that basis the pie could get bigger. But it's theoretical, I don't see it happening.

I don't have ANY PROBLEM AT ALLwith Mr Blackmore doing it for the cash, why would I ? I've never said that I did at all.
My observation is that the prime driver and motivator for all this "return to rock bollocks" is simply cash, which is absolutely fine entirely. The motivation is not the bullsh1t about "nostalgia or for the fans" or any other crap that it's dressed up in. I'd rather they were simply honest about their intention.
like most people, I only do what I do for cash but I don't pretend it's for any other reason than it is. If it doesn't pay or make a profit, one way or another, I'm not interested and won't do it. I don't pretend I'm doing it "for the customer" or "for nostalgia" and neither do most people.
For some strange reason I don't understand or much care for musicians, like Blackmore, seem to feel the need to pretend they do their job for a reason other then the financial reason. I have noted also that this tends to come about after they have achieved financial stability. In other words when they are struggling, they are "doing it to make a living", when the money comes in suddenly they are "doing it for the fans or the music or nostalgia or whatever other bullsh1t you can imagine" If any of that was true then they'd be doing it for either nothing or very cheap( not for profit) and that doesn't happen, now does it.
Also it interest me to see what sort fees they can still command, despite being somewhat past their best at this stage of their careers now. It is also interesting to me, to speculate about the likely revenue to be derived from one of these shows.
You know Gatts some people, such as me, are just interested in the financial / business aspects of what is after all, nothing more than a business at the level Mr Blackmore operates. What's wrong with that???
It is every bit as valid a view point as saying "Wouldn't it be great if Blackmore and Dio and Cozy had made another album" or perhaps .... the classic....."What songs do you want in the playlist for the 201x Rainbow shows" and frankly more connected to reality!
AT a professional level it's not about being "for the music or for the fans, or for nostalgia", that's utter bullsh1t, it's all about selling a product and making money, end of, very simple.
I track stock markets, currency markets, etc etc so why not "concert tours", after all some of them might even be a worthwhile investment!
For the record, I've got no interest in communism, equality or any other similar bullsh1t. Everyone is responsible for themselves in this world and to coin the great 80's phrase "Greed is good" when it comes to making money.
I'm 100% believer in the "make as much money as you can", any way possible, whether you need it or not is irrelevant, enough is never enough when it comes to cash!!
Hobbies are for enjoyment, work is for making money, you'd agree I'm sure!
