Erm..given an age gap of between 34 and 31 years and assuming the standard 9 month pregnancy then in your world the act of fertilisation must be between 14 and 17.

I think everyone understood that Simon McBride is a red rag for you which is okay but your arguments are getting ridiculous. Seriously, what's next? McBride can't be a member of Deep Purple because he's irish? Simon McBride can't join Deep Purple because he has a punky hairstyle?



Well put. Ultimately the question is can he do the job and the evidence from the youtube videos I've seen is most definitely yes. If anything I think Purple sound more like a ROCK band with his sound and approach and, it may be my imagination, a little freer to improvise. I think Simon had a greater desire to go off piste.

You got a point, his live performance is okay. Is he the only guitarist who can do that? There's more to that. What about in the studio? Can he deliver in the writing department? Can his name add something to the band's legacy? I'm more interested in the next studio album.

Steve Morse can still be the guitarist in the next studio album, while Simon can be the touring guitarist, the new album needs to be great.

They don't need someone for the next 20 years. They need someone to bring the band to an end with dignity. And I think he's the right one for that.



Yes thats true, bring in Joe Satriani, Ritchie Blackmore or Steve Vai for the studio and writing and create a MASTERPIECE FINAL STUDIO ALBUM and Simon could do farewell tour. That's bowing out with dignity.

We are talking about a final album, not just a contractual obligation album for a record label.

They don't work like that. Getting Vai, Blackmore, etc. would be only for marketing and not for musical reasons and when you consider that there's actually next to zero money left in record sales, there really is no point. If they decide to do another record (and Gillan said they have a session booked for March '23) it's only because they like it, it goes smoothly and without stress and it can keep them on the road.

I'm amazed that you know that an album with Satriani, Vai or even Blackmore will be a masterpiece and that an album with Simon won't.

Apart from that it's not like Simon's writing skills would be completely unknown, he just recently released a (imo very fine) blues rock album and had a few more of these in the past.

Personally, I'd be very interessted in what an album with Simon and Deep Purple would sound like, especially compared to the last 3 original albums with Steve

Opinion is opinion, we could be right or wrong.

There is a reason why you want the best, if your a basketball team manager you want LeBron, Curry, Giannis, Jokic, in your team.

There is a reason why supergroups are formed Bad English, Flying Colours, Chickenfoot, The Firm, etc, etc, I lost count "cause it's too many.

There is a reason why DP choose one of the greatest record producer Bob Ezrin, they know what he brings to the table. When they could just produce it themselves or hire a....

There is a reason why the Japanese promoter choose only Jeff Beck or Joe Satriani when Ritchie left. When they could just hire guitarist "Balsac the Jaws of Death" or "Oderus Urungus", do you who are these guitarists?

If it happen and the album with McBride is good, then I'm wrong. It's simple as that.

Re: Mark IX?


Well, guys, please check out the album McBride has written and released with Don Airey, that's your answer. He surely knows how to write hard rock tunes. In the case of a studio album with Purple, anyway, things would be a little different for two reasons: first, the band doesn't really compose tracks, they jam and expand ideas without anyone coming in with finished ideas; secondly, Gillan range is what it is nowadays and that has to be considered. Anyway, I'm very curious to see what they could come up with.

As interesting as Satriani reprising his role in Purple might be he's got a full set of dates lined up until June 2023 so that definitely won't happen

Absolutely true, but I think you mess up "famous" and "great".
Ezrin, Vai, Beck and all those other names you drop all the time are not good because they're famous, they're famous because they're good. That's why people know what they "bring to the table" and I'm 100 percent sure that Simon McBride is the new guitarist for Deep Purple because they (well, Don and IG at least) know what he brings to the table.

When Deep Purple (or anyone else) hire a producer or a guitarist, they hire him to get the best music possible. That's about quality. A promoter wants to sell tickets and therefore is interessted in a famous name on the bill. That's about quantity.

I don't know whether I'd like new music with McBride and I'm not a fanboy (maybe not yet) but from what I heard of him, with Don, with Ian and Don, with Deep Purple or solo, I don't have any reason to question his abilities.
