Oh I totally agree with you mate!! I'm also born in 87 and I wish that there were some way for me to travel back in time to the golden days of hardrock, 1970-78, when the some of the best music ever were made!! To stand in the front row on a DP gig back then must have been awesome!
And about the roadies glueing the guitars back together again, they can't have done that on California Jam because he hurls it into the audience.

Re: Morse Better Than Blackmore? You're ' Aving a Laugh.
Yea but it wasn't a strat,it was a replica
go back and listen to the sound difference
and you can see that he made a switch.
Sometimes he did hurl real strat's
into the audience I have seen him do it.
It has been well documented that he used to
have the roadies glue them.
But they were cheap imitation's.

Re: Morse Better Than Blackmore? You're ' Aving a Laugh.
How about this Guitar Smashing story- From The Ronnie James Dio Anthology...
"STARSTRUCK-Rainbow
A true story about a female fan who would follow Ritchie around everywhere. She was a French girl named Muriel who would turn up in Ritchie's Bushes around the house. She was annoying to Ritchie, an obsessed fan and the first one I had ever experienced. So I wrote the song from a real life perspective. The last time we saw her was at a show in Paris--she was pressed right up front, and Ritchie smashed his guitar and the neck flew across stage and smacked her right between the eyes. She went down like a ton of bricks. Hope she wasnt hurt too badly."-Ronnie James
--- Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone

Re: Morse Better Than Blackmore? You're ' Aving a Laugh.
In the early days Richie would smash original Strats but when production of cheaper models switched to Japan he used those which were usually "2nds" quality hence the cheaper sound. I think he smashed one of his favourites by mistake which prompted the change. I remember seeing him do it in the early days of Rainbow and it took and age to break but on other occasions since, they were gone in seconds.
SM better than RB difficult to compare, they are totally different players so I don't think we're comparing like for like. I'm a big fan of TMIB but equally a fan of Steve. We should be grateful we've had both.

Re: Morse Better Than Blackmore? You're ' Aving a Laugh.
If you compare them you are wasting your time
cause you can't change them anyway,
so comparing is obsolete and that is a God given fact.
