Roger/Ritchie
Of all the Bass Players RB has played with, I have to say the Roger was the one that worked best with RB. Any Thoughts?

Re: Roger/Ritchie
I agree. Ritchie knew that Roger brought so much more to the table than just being a bass player: songwriting, arrangements, production, album artwork,etc. Roger is an artist on so many levels.

Re: Roger/Ritchie
As well as being someone they could wheel out to the press to say polite PR things, such as 'Nobody's Perfect' was a great representation of the band, akin to Made in Japan; or that 'Slaves and Masters' was such a 'live in the studio' record that captured the band well. Nice guy, good contributor, maybe should have been a bit more demanding of others along the way.

Re: Roger/Ritchie
In my opinion Roger was far in the background. I can respect other opinions like Blackmore, Lord & Paice were such dominant characters, so they didn‘t need a superb player like John Gustafson.
I preferred Glenn‘s distinctive playing (DID NOT DIG HIS VOCALS)! Esp. on You fool no one, Made in Europe.
