But the only problem with that is the Dregs is a "real" band, though Morse is the leader, the other members will complain if they become dormant most of the times. The thing is that they are pretty dormant at the moment   And Larue is already a member of the Dregs.So what I was thinkin I guess, is that instead of releasing SMB albums with only guitar solos, it wouldn't hurt if he add a bit of diversity (keys and violins,...). Anyway, I much prefer that he keeps dP as his priority.nondisclosed_email@example.com (purpletemple)Wed, 21 Apr 2004 19:09:11 +0000 Re: Has Steve Morse been a solo artist as well as a member of Deep Purple all this time?https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162421,from=rss#post162421https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162421,from=rss#post162421quote:purpletemple wrote: I would hope that he drop the SMB before the Dregs.The Dregs's music is so much better.I agree that the SMB is becoming boring.After all it's guitar solos after guitar solos (or soli), where in the Dregs, there are Guitar, keys and Violin solos...

Agree with you dude, technically Steve Morse almost plays the guitar perfectly, I have 4 of his albums and the playing is perfect, indeed he is just too good, but something is missing, most of the songs are boring. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Randys)Wed, 21 Apr 2004 04:31:12 +0000 Re: Has Steve Morse been a solo artist as well as a member of Deep Purple all this time?https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162417,from=rss#post162417https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162417,from=rss#post162417I heard that the album California Screaming was to be the last Dregs album and that they would still perform from time to time, but not record.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Shadowcast)Wed, 21 Apr 2004 03:48:21 +0000 Re: Has Steve Morse been a solo artist as well as a member of Deep Purple all this time?https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162416,from=rss#post162416https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162416,from=rss#post162416If I am not mistaken wasn't Steve in Kansas for a short stint as well. Not that I really care. Where most people draw the line at collecting Jolene as a Purple offshoot I do with Steve.

I guess it's a lot, but all dP members have always been hard workers and music is their profession.It's not like they have to go to work from 9 to 5 and then compose an album.nondisclosed_email@example.com (purpletemple)Tue, 20 Apr 2004 08:17:58 +0000 Has Steve Morse been a solo artist as well as a member of Deep Purple all this time?https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162411,from=rss#post162411https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p162411,from=rss#post162411Not to mention the Dixie Dregs? Seems like a lot of weight, but I guess many artists do side projects or multiple projects because they feel looser because of it.
