Pet hate
I love Blackmore's playing and what he contributed to DP.
However, I loathe and detest Blackmore 'fundamentalism', the kind of person guaranteed to find something in Morse or DP today to gripe about or point fun at or mock, no matter what they do. It makes me despair, because it reminds me why we have wars and troubles and terror in this world - because of fanatics (both legal and illegal) who will not & cannot hear or tolerate a contrary word.

Re: Pet hate
well said Scar Tissue - I see eye to eye with You
I think some people writing here
(not all, though!!!) are still mentally in the 70's and have not noticed the guys have changed, their music has changed, and that the dp guitarist comes from a different - jazz/rock - background
This produces extreme opinions or too harsh criticism that the band do not deserve
This does not mean that we should not criticize Morse or any other member of the band. But sometimes I have the impression that people criticise Morse for simply being in DP (" he does not fit in here) and current line up for not being Mk2 (they don't play like Mk2 glory days are gone)
Well, I think we have to accept it as when we deal with a band like DP there will always be people living in the past

Re: Pet hate
Deep Purple have such a huge past that it is far easier to talk about that, than that what is
Just remember....in years to come, when DP are no more, you too will be living in the past. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Re: Pet hate
when dp are gone, I will be living in the past, true but I will not criticise the present for not being the past for there will not be the present
there is nothing wrong with talking about the past. it is wrong to criticse the present only because it is not the past
that is something different

To put it another way, comparing DP fans' preferences of line-ups to people killing each other is tasteless to say the least.

I guess you didn't understand what scar tissue meant
what scar tissue said is not comparing tastes with killing people but certain negative emotions expressed here in the form of unjustified criticism, or to put it in other words - extreme opinions that cause only conflicts
And I agree with her
I wrote in other thread that we need to pay respect to the band, not only to the band from the 70's, also to the band today as they play music of high quality
I also wrote that few people would write Blackmore sucks, some people would write I THINK Blackmore sucks because he could have played this or that differently etc.
Steve and the current line up deserves the same: saying I THINK Steve sucks becasue he could play that differetnly and not Steve Morse sucks becasue he sucks - because he is not Ritchie Blackmore. More often than not he is not respected here in this forum only becasue he is not the man in black

Oh I think I understood it all.
Did you understand that putting people into categories is exactly what the original post is supposed to be against?
