In the new issue of Classic Rock, Paice says he would be up for a one off show with ex-members.

So there's just one left who strictly doesn't want.

Whoa, that's a major turnaround from comments made in the not-to-distant past.

He just said that he would not mind doing this but it won't be comfortable for the band, especially for Steve and Don = usual nonsense they are saying since who knows when. He didn't say that he is really open for it.

Note that Steve and Don have both been gentlemen all along on this and never (at least in the press) had anything against this kind of show...basically it's the others who fear for them...how caring.

Agreed IG is behind this, SM and DA would not care for ex members to guest. Its IG that pushes the agenda. SM has been publicly quoted to have RB guest. I think IP and RG would be open but its IG that stirs the pot and RG/IP are afraid to challenge. Cowards really. NS and RB should guest. FFS they started the band with JL!!

Re:
Steve has gone on record as saying he thought it would be a great idea...I haven't really seen Don's comments on it but it seems he wouldn't have issue with it. Plus he and Ritchie have a past (for better or worse and ftr he's said Gary Moore could be difficult to work with too, so there's that).
It seems it all falls squarely in one lap...and he can't really use the "Out of respect for..." excuse anymore.

How many times this (frankly speaking totally useless) topic will appear????
BTW: I have to correct one of the comments - one of you said that Don never was against this performing. He was not against it, he just repeatedly said that it´s nearly impossible to do that just purely because of two reasons: logistic difficulties and another reason was that DP work differently than Ritchie do - preparing for gig with Ritchie would need quite a long time for rehearsals together and as we all know because of Rainbow - Ritchie doesnt like rehearsals at all.
