I have never doubted that Deep Purple changed a lot, but it´s natural evolution. Aggresion, danger etc. was replaced by experience. It´s up to you whether you enjoy they LOVE what they do, or you miss that lack of danger.

These songs belongs to Ians and Roger too - so they are playing their own stuff! "They were being honoured at the HOF for that period !!!!!! i.e. the period when they mattered." It´s logic that for current band.... now and future is more important than past! Band had full right to say "no" to suggested performance with Ritchie... and as we know now - this performance would NOT happened in April even without their "no" - so the whole discussion is pointless. There was no wasted or missed opportunity. Period!

It all started with THIS Ritchie´s statement: "Ritchie was honored by the offer of induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

(!!!) Therefore Ritchie will not be attending the ceremony. He sincerely thanks all the fans that voted for him for their support." So Ritchie´s camp got a correspondence from RRHOF officials which said "no" forwarded from DP management - and RRHOF officials confirmed that THIS correspondence was PURELY about performance of Ritchie with the band! NOW - Ritchie himself admitted "Deep Purple management didn't want me to play with the band". Why Ritchie didnt say "Deep Purple management didnt want me to appear there at all" but "didnt want me to play with the band"??? Because it´s simply explanation (exact description) of what Ritchie meant that he has in black and white and what he can prove. That´s how I understand it. "yes I have a proof they didnt want me there - I have a message where manager says he dont want me to play with the band". That´s it. Motive? It´s very simple - it´s Ritchie. It was another from his manipulative games, it was his trap.... it´s his hobby. + He got media attention and attention of fans (both highly recommended before his Rainbow gigs) because he was poor victim of evil DP management - people tends to support those who are harmed - no matter whether it´s true or not. IMO he NEVER really considered to appear there. It´s simply fun for him.... but in this case, he also damaged current band by this manipulation. Its been my understanding through reading various reports that there was direct contact between Blackers management and DPs management?? If there wasn't then thats even bloody worse !!! If they couldn't even bring themselves to communicate directly with Blackmore to discuss plans for the HOF, but instead took the cowards way out by communicating via the HOF!! then that IMHO shows the Current DP in an even more despicable light.It portrays them as a bunch of ungrateful cowardly bitter old men . BTW Blackmore does NOT need to play the victim to generate publicity for his rock project !! Any such suggestion is stupidity.The fact that the man who basically invented a genre is going to play rock for the first time in 20 years was more than enough to generate huge interest. No, the point actually is that it´s RRHOF who usually suggests or asks for these "reunion-like" performances - so the first intention regarding this came from RRHOF - Deep Purple management obviously denied such sort of "reunion" performance. RRHOF tried to arrange this in case of DP, in case of Kiss, in case of many other bands... and Deep Purple simply said "no, we dont wanna do that"... There was no reason why to be in contact with Ritchie. The answer was obvious. Then this useless hysteria caused by misleading statement from Ritchie´s camp got DP into very difficult position. IMO you perfectly fell into Ritchie´s trap. Ritchie´s performance with DP was NEVER a real scenario and you still act like it was some sort of missed opportunity - it wasnt. Deep Purple just didnt want to play with Ritchie and he himself actually never had a plan to do that - nothing else happened.nondisclosed_email@example.com (ptr)Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:56:38 +0000 Re: Ritchie Blackmore's wife about the RHOF dilemmahttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p502137,from=rss#post502137https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p502137,from=rss#post502137quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:ptr wrote: You are absolutely wrong here.

Why should THEY (Deep Purple) communicate directly with Blackmore?? Why didn't he contact the band directly with his wish to play with the band, a band he's no longer a member of??? Blackmores manager should've contacted Payne, not the other way around. As for the last part of your post.... Only one show of three are sold out. That's how interested the world is when Blackmore finally comes back to rock after 20 years dressing up and living in a fantasy. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Byljer)Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:51:39 +0000 Re: Ritchie Blackmore's wife about the RHOF dilemmahttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p502135,from=rss#post502135https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p502135,from=rss#post502135quote:ptr wrote: You are absolutely wrong here.
