LITB, please re-read the last postings in this thread. And tell me again, that ptr is the only one, who pretends, he has inside informations. It's all surmises.

And your point is what ptr?We ALL know Blackers couldn't care less about this HOF thing, he's said it often enough .That still doesn't excuse his MK2 colleagues bitter and ungrateful behaviour towards him.Theyve actually played right into his hands and left the traditional "bad guy" looking like the good guy emoticon Oh the irony of it all emoticon



My point is that when Ritchie doesnt care.... and it´s very probably that it´s his own decision NOT appear there... it´s simply pointless to blame current band members for anything related to Ritchie´s NOT appearing there. It was his own decision. Period.

Actually - in my eyes it´s a very different.
1.) band have full right to decide whether they want to perform with someone and under which conditions.... as Ritchie has a full right to do whatever he wants, the band has the same right too!
2.) Ritchie IS the bad guy here - because of his completely fabricated untruth statement. It was not "clever" (as you called it), it was actually dumb, what was the point of it? Set old time fans against the band? And you are really still suprised that guy who do something like this (because I really think that it was main point of the statement - to damage current band!) isnt wanted on stage with them?! How suprising.... how shocking. For me - it´s typical Ritchie - setting the trap, and many of general audience fell into this silly trap, but sadly - it put a bad spotlight at the band - and that´s unfair!

Your position is like "ah Ritchie want to perform with the band - what an opportunity - band must agree with that, otherwise they are bitter and ungrateful".... no - it´s actually "Ritchie has full right to offer that he wants to play with them...." and band has FULL RIGHT (there is NO discussion about that!) to decide whether they want or not....

Your repeating the same old crap again ptr ,the band(or Gillan) had already decided they were NOT going to play with Ritchie at the HOF BEFORE he responded.You CANT name that as the reason they didn't want to play with him, they had already decided before that statement??Get real man FFS!!The fact is the band members have shown themselves to be bitter and ungrateful by refusing the main man his rightful place on stage, performing the songs he wrote.As i said SM has shown himself to be a real gent, pity the rest couldn't follow his example.The band DO deserve HUGE criticism for their part in this debacle.And not only for their treatment of Ritchie but also thier attitude towards DC and Glenn.

Of course, they decided it before... that crap from Ritchie´s camp was classless disgusting and misleading reaction to that decision - which they have FULL RIGHT to do for WHATEVER reasons - and it absolutely doesnt matter what their reasons for that were! It´s simply undisputable right of any band to decide whether they want to play with someone or not - there is absolutely no discussion about. Reasons for their decision are actually irrelevant! I have no idea about their reasons (I can imagine many reasons for that and I suggested quite a few of them here), as you have no idea about their reasons - the difference between us is, that I give them that right (as any band have), you dont - you think that when Ritchie suggest performance - band has to be silent and has to accept that. No they dont have to! I´m also saying that Ritchie´s reaction just confirmed that their decision was correct (rightful)... it was something like last nail to the coffin (because as I said - I´m sure that it was Ritchie´s intention to set fans against current band, which is absolutely unacceptable act for me!). Sadly - that trap from Ritchie camp worked better because many people blamed band for Ritchie´s own decision.

By the way - why they looked so incomfortable at Q&A - because Ritchie´s statement pushed them into very difficult situation... they were "blamed" for his absence - completely wrongly! It was Ritchie´s own decision. How can you be reliable for decisions of others? How do you want to reply on such a questions?

this was NOT about the current irrlevant touring band, this was an award for DPs contributions to rock music in the late 60s early/mid 70s .Contributions made when Ritchie Blackmore was the creative genius and prime mover behind the band (his bandmates words not mine).Blackers should have been made to feel welcome at an awards ceremony honouring his time in the band.He WASNT made welcome by the selfish bitter ex bandmates and that is UNFORGIVABLE!!

No he wasn't banned from accepting the reward but he was made to feel unwelcome by the ungrateful selfish bitter old men he made famous.DC said as much in his Q&A i.e. there was lots of things going on around Ritchie and he wasn't being made particularly welcome, so DC felt obliged to invite him himself.Paint it how you like ptr but Ritchie Blackmores music being played by someone else at a ceremony honouring Ritchie Blackmore and his bandmates from the late 60s early/mid 70s is just BLOODY WRONG!!!Would you turn up to a party where its been made BLOODY OBVIOUS you are NOT WELCOME??And sit at a table and watch somebody else play the songs you wrote that are the reason for the induction??Are you living in denial here mate?The current touring nostalgia act has absolutely bloody nothing to do with the Deep Purple that was being inducted.They share a name thats where the similarity ends.

Sorry, LITB, but one could see it the other way round. It was not Ritchie, who made the others famous. Ritchie (plus) Jon were playing in a relatively unimportand band called Deep Purple. The band had one hit in the US, but that was it. There albums sold ok, but not too good. Then Gillan and Glover arrived. And suddenly the band was big. A lot of ideas, songwriting, etc. seem to have come from Ritchie. But he wasn't able to make it big before. If you see it this way round, it was thanks Glover/Gillan that an rather unimportant band became one of the biggest bands in the early 70s.

You must live in a bubble. I rather take Jon´s word (who was actually in the band) than yours.
