Mark I is a special era, least like any of the other (that can be dicussed of course), often neglected due to the success of the following line up's (or is other reason's even more important?? dicuss further!).   I guess there's enough material to be dicussed on it's own there. If there's a general interest for it, I'll guess we soon can tell from B3Burner's "mkI-a.s." nondisclosed_email@example.com (Atle)Mon, 29 Mar 2004 17:02:25 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160038,from=rss#post160038https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160038,from=rss#post160038quote:Rahul wrote: a)How dare you insinuate that.

They, as far as I am aware of, were not the biggest fans of this lot. They were not our additions. a) Didn't mean for that to read as harsh as it did - I should've included a "winkyball". About the "conspiracy theory" dig, I mean. Sorry if I offended anyone. I did take liberties with that " (literally)months go by" crack, though. Probably more like 3 weeks... As for MkI falling under the general banner of Purple, then that fits nicely along with some of my reasoning behind the suggestion. This is primarily the "Deep Purple Fan Forum" is it not? Also, will not DP/MKI always be an integral part of the band" rich history? The last time I checked, MkI was then and is now - Deep Purple. Coverdale + Hughes haven't been associated with Deep Purple for going on 28 years, this June...Turner for at least the last 12 or so, right? b) Oh, that's understood. I'm merely questioning or expressing concern about where that line's been drawn, is all. Of course there's a bias, there's understood too - again, I'm just questioning which the way the bias happens to go, in this case against a bias I'd support (a MkI board). I appreciate your division on the subject, the difficulty of it. Sounds like personally you may be biased for it, but administatively you're biased against it. I'm glad I only have to sweat my one side of it as a huge MkI fan, also. c) To this I gotta say, "So?" boards are added all the time...and I thought this was a new forum, thus boards can be changed (added to or taken away) as a forum grows and changes. I said the same thing about them on on the old forum (DaveH + DougM + RasmusH's). I'm not saying get rid of those boards - just that a MkI board deserves a chance. The old forum did have the "Bogus Deep Purple 1980" board, (which to my way of thinking could've - and should've - been a MkI board, only a title change was necessary, because the switch could've and should've included the 1980 episode under an umbrella of Evan's post-MkI career) again,I'm questioning the bias against making that "addition". I didn't even realize Dave and or Doug had a hand in this forum's layout...I thought Niko + Milan did it. nondisclosed_email@example.com (MrEd45)Sat, 27 Mar 2004 13:49:30 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160037,from=rss#post160037https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160037,from=rss#post160037quote:MrEd45 wrote: I've noticed (literally) months go by with no new topics or posts on the Coverdale,Hughes, Turner + Bolin boards...I guess having administrators as fans helps...

But what held me back was the realization that it could be misconstrued as overly "self-serving" on my part, since everyone knows I'm a Mk I fan to a fault. So I started the Mark One Advoctn. Synd. instead, in the hopes that that would get the ball rolling and others would step up to the plate and reply to my thread.... ....And what do you know? They did, so it shows me that the idea is not as far fetched as one may think. I'll vote with my heart and say YES, but I also understand why others wouldn't want it.

To this I say - so what? That's why there are web sites and individual forums for those individuals. I guess the fact they fail to attract the numbers a Deep Purple forum does speaks for itself, doesn't it? They each have small roles in the history of Deep Purple (Coverdale's + Hughes' was far more signifigant, granted), not a quarter as important as the Mk that was the genesis of it all.  I guess we MkI fans and admirers don't even get the chance that certain individuals with as little to do with - or as much to do with - Purple's history do.I've noticed (literally) months go by with no new topics or posts on the Coverdale,Hughes, Turner + Bolin boards...I guess having administrators as fans helps... Though I hasten to point out that I myself didn't raise the argument about who or what part of Deep Purple's history is more signifigant or deserving of an individual board - I'm just commenting on what's been said since the topic was started.  In closing, let me point out that the band Deep Purple (MkI), from which the current line up morphed, and the band Deep Purple as a whole has one helluva recording history that neither began in 1973 with David Coverdale + Glenn Hughes, nor ended in 1976 with the break up of MkIV. Nor did that history begi and end with the Little Squealing Morphodite era. nondisclosed_email@example.com (MrEd45)Fri, 26 Mar 2004 01:03:58 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160032,from=rss#post160032https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160032,from=rss#post160032I fancy any forum where the fabulous Deep Purple mk 1 can be discussed!

I'm a big MK1 fan, but I don't see the point of having a forum just to discuss MK1. Its not as if MK1 topics are flooding the forum as it is. OK, one or two may have cropped up recently, but its not enough for a forum. Its a great part of the Purple history, but it comes under Purple discussions. Or should we have forums for MK2 and MK3? Coverdale and JLT get their own boards because they have extensive solo careers to talk about. There isn't as much to discuss on the extra-Purple work of Evans and Simper as there is with the other ex-members. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Rahul)Mon, 22 Mar 2004 19:12:11 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160027,from=rss#post160027https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160027,from=rss#post160027I find my reasons are caused the same as yours. So we can't go on. This talk goes a bit "roundabout".  No, seriously: Why to make a special "Mark One board" respectively -"forum"? This would really go too far, believe me. Look Larry: If everyone would think the way you do, that kind of " Oh, Mk four doesn't interest me, but Mk one does!"... Good god! Everyone would to see grilled his/her "Special-sausage". What a chaos!

Some of us here like that period in their history and like discussing it,I for one don't have much good to say about mkIII,Coverdale in general and of course JLT so I say very little,if there was a mkI forum I would have plenty to discuss about it.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Gillans micstand)Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:39:18 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160022,from=rss#post160022https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160022,from=rss#post160022Definately no!

As for Coverdale being less interesting than Mk I I could argue that somebody still making albums, playing great shows and giving us new things to talk about is fundamentally more intriguing than a 60s pseudo-psychedelic attempt at copying the Vanilla Fudge sound. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Christos Gatzidis)Mon, 22 Mar 2004 11:24:30 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160017,from=rss#post160017https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160017,from=rss#post160017Too much is not enough! my bad nondisclosed_email@example.com (Gillans micstand)Mon, 22 Mar 2004 09:55:44 +0000 Re: A Deep Purple MkI Forum (or board)https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160016,from=rss#post160016https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p160016,from=rss#post160016I, for one, would read many of the posts.
