Re: Enough
CL, I usually just lurk here but I too hope that you'll reconsider.
IMO Blackmore and Lord were the heart & sould of DP the first time around, and that music, to me, has never been equalled.
However, for the second time around, the "sequel" if you will, Morse is the guy. The Morse era has produced 4 albums which I prefer over the four non Morse reunion albums (except HOBL I LOOOOVE that album- an don't know anyone who agrees with me).
So you see, I'm in a position where I don't share your opinion but can certainly understand it, and always enjoy reading it.
It's bad enough we're LORDLESS. Must we be CLLESS as well?
Screw the fools (who think it's glorious), and stick around, huh?

Heh, well said mate!

Re: Enough
The way I see it CL, is that most of the "under siege by Blackmore fans" has been posted by some of the newbies here. That's fine, I suspect they came here thinking that everyone is of the same opinion and that it's one big happy family. Those of us, yourself and your beautiful lady friend Coirce included know that this is not the case. As explained in another post, DP, with so many different lineups, strong personalities and shifts in direction will have many differing views from it's fan base. Those of us that have been here for a while have come to accept, expect and learn from our differing views. The new guys, if they can stick it out, will also have the same opportunity and will learn what each of us is about. You may gain new fans for your own band if you stick with it because it's your input that gives us an inside track to what you and your band may be about.
However,don't hesitate to give your opinion on anything here and if the new guys can't handle it, that's thier problem.
Besides, as I have said here on many occasion, it's all in fun anyway.

Re: Enough
Unacceptable CL! You WILL post on this board immediately! There is NO CHOICE!
(practicing my power of will skills)
Seriously, like pretty much everyone else here, I hope you change your mind.

Re: Enough
I'm quite new to this forum, but I HAVE BEEN a DP fan for so long, it's not funny!! My 2 cents? This kind of thing is only history repeating....just saw the same thing happening on the Johnny Kidd and the Pirates page..useless rivalry!

Re: Enough
to celtic legacy
I'll tell you what
my impression was different when I started reading this forum. My impression was that this forum was very much Blackmore oriented
and that is fine. I am a huge fan of Ritchie as well
But at the same time I am a huge fan of the current line up
And what I read from the posts of the hard core Blackmore fans was a TOTAL criticism of the current line up (especially from Ritchie Strat)
I mean I felt it was not constructive criticism, it was criticism saying the current line up is crap because it is not Mk2
I think if I kept writing that Mk2 is crap you would react as well, right?
I don't know maybe earlier you could write bullshit about Morse and nobody reacted but now it has changed. there are some fans of Steve and they want to hear CONTRUCTIVE criticism and not saying things like he sucks becasue he is nor Ritchie
We have to remember that Mk 2 and the current line up are two different bands.
If you don;t like the current line up then fine but why bother writing about it all the time? Why bother writing if you don't like anything about this line up? Why bother writing if you are no longer a fan of this line up apparently?
I mean provide good criticism and not TOTAL criticism which stems from the fact that you do not accept the band any more
It is like logging in the Britne Spears forum annd posting thousands posts saying Britney is crap. Yeah sure, I have the right to do so, but once I made my point clear, it makes no sense repeating it. It makes sense however to provide constructive criticism or respect other people's different tastes by logging out
you see what I mean?
you seem to be a fan of A DIFFERENT BAND and sometimes your criticism stems from the fact that you are a fan of a DIFFERENT BAND. this makes your criticism dubious as your criticism stems from having a different taste
Steve could have played better? criticise! Ian should have sung something differently? criticise!
but if you limit your criticism to satements that Mk2 was better and the current line up sucks because the band does not play the way they played in the 70's, I shall always protest and defend the band
Cause Deep Purple have changed. You can hear their legacy in their music but you can hear plenty of changes as well:
Ian Gillan is older so naturally his voice has changed. you can criticise him for not being in good shape but not for the fact that he sings in a different way
Ian Paice has been going through different periods - he played a lot in the 70's in the 80's he played very simple now he is trying to combine these two features
Steve comes from a jazz-rock background so he has nothing to do with Ritchie
and so on
These changes sometimes render comparisons futile. You can do such comparisons,sure, but don't be surpirsed if some of the fans including me will render such comparisons (eve if they are unavoidable) not convincing at all
greetings

Re: Enough
Wrong Man
I and anyone else has as much right to criticise as anyone else. If you dont like the Morse line up to be criticised then tough. If I dont like the Blackmore line up being criticised then thats tough on me.
But the facts speak for them selves.
Some guys on here like to measure one album against the next...well lets try it with the Personnel.
Gillan circa 1970s V Gillan Now
Blackmore circa 1970s V Morse Now
Jon Lord 1970s V Don Airey Now
Paice 1970s V Paice Now
Glover 1970s V Glover Now.
Now. When us living in the past merchants say that the old band are better than the current band, then I think the facts speak for themselves.
Now, just because we can see those facts doesn't mean we dont like the current line up, because most of us do, otherwise we wouldn,t be spending our hard earned cash on the band. The fact is that DP of old were better than DP of now, the same as Liverpool Football Club of old are better than the current Liverpool Football Club. The same as Kate Bush of old was better than the Kate Bush of now....etc.

Re: Enough
The entire development and moods here seem very alarming to me.It's a pity that some people here feel so easily attacked and offended. On what reasons ever.
--- Just gimme a reason, some kind of sign
I need a miracle to help me this time
I've heard what you've said and I feel the same
I know in my heart that I'll have to change

Re: Enough
Off course you get a pretty good idea about ROTD from the sound clips.
Do not let anyone fool you into something else.
You clearly hear that it does not rock and that it is not the least bit exiting.
And that holds when you get the CD.
Just think about how easy it would be to make 30 secs soundbites from the classic records!
DP should not be about "the whole structure of the song", "chord progression" and all of that sort.
It got to be in your face and rock.
They are the godfathers of Hard Rock for gods sake, not a new version of Yes or 70s fusion with a rock edge.
