When I tell you that Joe Perry is a thief I'm talking from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.I COMPARE PURPLE TO NOBODY WHATSOVER! I've been around,and these guy's are the most overrated rock band there ever was. When I saw them in Hawaii at the football stadium in Honalulu, they were at there worst. THAT WAS THE NIGHT JOE STOLE FROM ME! Here's how I see it, everything they recorded up till Draw The Line was great. A Night In The Rut's with Jimmy Crespo was better than anything they have done since then,and anyone who likes them know's that album was substandard,leaving them to be just that to this very day. I'm not a blind Deep Purple worshiper,I call them as I see them,and I've been to over 300 concert's including, Elvis Jerry Lee Lewis Chuck Berry Fat's Domino Ray Charles and the list goes on. I have partied backstage with the best of em' including meeting Deep Purple twice and playing foosball with Ritchie Blackmore. You can have Aeroshit for breakfast as far as I'm concerened,but don't tell me I'm comparing anoyone. I have fully expressed my feeling's in these forum's about my position when it comes to making comparison's I'll say it once more. It is a waste of time to compare because there is nothing you can do to change anything anyone does.

I know that, Larry. But attempting to slag off others just to give props to Purple isn't very cricket, is it?   As I said, I would without a doubt consider Purple the headliner, but that's me. We're not talking about the rest of the world here, just the New England area. I'm not trying to put down your knowledge of the era or area, but I lived there at the time, and believe me, the furor that Aerosmith had created was nearly on a par with the furor that Purple had created in the same area 3 or 4 years before. Aerosmith was certainly one kick ass act at the time, and that's not to imply that they'd blow Purple off the stage or anything. But to their hard core fans, they were certainly in Purple's league, whether they had toured in Mesapotamia or not. You gotta remember, Purple had experienced a slight downturn in popularity due to the personnel changes that had taken place less than a year before...MkIII wasn't held in nearly the regard they are now...and all that hoopla about Purple being the biggest band in the world had it's share of controversy, also. When the award was announced, Billboard used a publicity shot of MkIII, which lineup had essentially done nothing to earn the award, as the vast majority of those sales figures had been generated by the MkII lineup's album sales. That incident caused even the mild mannered Glover to express his dismay over the situation. We are both talking about 1974 or so, right?nondisclosed_email@example.com (MrEd45)Tue, 04 Nov 2003 17:24:55 +0000 Re: GnR, Aerosmith, And Purple????https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p23112,from=rss#post23112https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p23112,from=rss#post23112Check furtheR up the thread MrEd, Purple were the biggest act on the planet Bar none, and Aeroshit had not even left this country yet so how do you figure,just cause they were hot doesn't mean they were worhty of CO-HEADLINING WITH THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD. -------------------------------------------------------- Btw Joe Perry is a theif, he once stole from me before my very eyes, on the beach in Hawaii. nondisclosed_email@example.com (FatLarryandhiscar)Tue, 04 Nov 2003 17:09:37 +0000 Re: GnR, Aerosmith, And Purple????https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p23111,from=rss#post23111https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p23111,from=rss#post23111It certainly was within their power, especially in the New England area, Larry.
