"I don't think he is in Purple for the money though, he has a ton of his own stuff out there." That's not what I heard.
Royalties from Steve Morse's own material could not sustain the rent to a simple storage unit unfortunately.

Ian Gillan must wear a wig and Depends. The guy looked old when my uncle saw them 15 years ago.

I saw him 4 years ago and he looks pretty good for a 60 year old.

Kind of hard to believe when the majority of his pre-Purple releases were The Steve Morse Band I doubt Steve has been hurting for money since the early 70's.

He's got over 60 releases out there not counting Deep Purple. I doubt that he makes less than 3k a night for live performances.

Smoke On The Water has some of the stupidest lyrics in history. Are you aware of the events that inspired the song?

Sorry. I read the rest of the thread after posting....like everyone else.
BTW, a request for gunfire on FR is likely to get you more than a few reports.

On stage, Gillan now looks more like a business man on Holiday in the Caribean than a Classic Rocker.
He does look good and brings a lot of energy to the stage, along with the rest of the band. They are better now, in their "Social Security" years than many of the new "Bands"

I'll bet the Lebanese over sixty crowd is on pins and needles, or pins and missiles, or just sort of uncomfortable.

The story behind Steve Morse's entry to Purple is much like Joe Satriani's rushed entry as a sub for Blackmore.
The band sought them both out and they jumped at the chance to play with a band that not only helped form their style, but impacted Rock.
Both have enthusiastically endorsed the bands musical ability.
Yeah, as always, money is a factor, but being able to be part of history has to be in the mix when you are a musician of the caliber of Satriani and Morse

I saw Deep Purple with Coverdale and Gillan. No comparison between the two, Gillan has command of the full octaves, Coverdale is about two steps down from him.

I left after a few REO songs due to the huge musical "buzz kill" of hearing love songs 15 minutes after Blackmore shreds. REO's Gary Richrath was a smoking guitarist in his own right before he was crippled by alcoholism.

RJD is older than Ozzy and his voice is still amazing. Dio stayed away from the chemical excesses that Ozzy indulged in. This might explain it.

Toward the end of Purple in the 70's, Glenn Hughes kept trying to horn in on Coverdale and take over. Coverdale has his moments (Burn, Stormbringer, the songs, not the albums), but Gillan will always be the lead singer for Purple.
Hughes travels from band to band-he's done some nice stuff with Tony Iommi, but he'll always be a second stringer to me

Dio still did his share. You couldn't be a rocker in the 70s and 80s and NOT do that stuff.
