DEEP PURPLE WANTED RITCHIE BLACKMORE WITH THEM AT THE ROCK HALL, IAN GILLAN SAYS BACKSTAGE

- Backstage at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Brooklyn, New York over the weekend, inductees Deep Purple said that reports that they didn't want guitarist Ritchie Blackmore there are not true, and they talked about their induction at the hands of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.
its a shame this induction came after the passing of jon lord
Doesn’t really matter. A hundred years from now no one will know they even existed.
@@briantoal8872 He would have gotten Blackmore to show up.
It is inexcusable that these guys weren't inducted in the early to mid 90s. If you look at the list of bands that are already in the hall, and you compare many of them with DP, it really exposes the hall of fame as a complete farse.
😡 Edit: Since 6 years ago when I posted ^this, the R&R HOF have inducted Eminem in his first eligible year! He's not even a rocker, he's a cultural and racial appropriator, which _SHOULD_ outrage the "progressives" in the entertainment media! But they induct him in year 1, while waiting 41 years to induct Randy Rhoads, an actual rocker!
Not somewhat of a joke - a complete and total joke.
Big rock music fan from India why do deserving bands like Deep Purple, Yes, Rush get inducted so late in HOF? Is there some kind of favoritism by jury and lobbying to decide who gets the nod & who doesn't? Grand Funk Railroad, Iron Maiden also not there and I am honestly puzzled why ? Or why not?
What do you mean? The RNR HOF is a massive joke.
@@dangabor8585
Yeah, you're actually right. "Somewhat of a joke" doesn't adequately describe them. So I'm changing my 6 year old ^post. Besides, they've made decisions in the last few years that set new records for stupidity.
Racial appropriator bs.
Blackmore's absence made the whole evening about Blackmore. What a showman!
It would have been with him too. He and Jon were the heart of the group. They wrote all the hits, so of course it would all be about Ritchie and Jon, like talking about the Stones is more about Jagger and Richards and not about Wood, Jones and the rest.
What a wnkr.
💯 true.
Ian Gillan wrote songs too
@@alexanderfels5754, most lyrics from DP came from Gillan e Glover during mark II, and from Coverdale and some from Hughes when they made part of Deep Purple. I think you are not well informed about DP work.
Such a shame that Jon Lord passed away, then they decide to induct them. Lord and Blackmore are two of the most talented rock performers and writers of all time and it's a crime the hall of fame had to wait for Lord to pass away before inducting them. RIP Jon Lord.
Blackmore's playing has decreased with quality over the years - even in Rainbow. As a guitar player myself I highly respect him but let's not exaggerate.
@@aimfuldrifterit doesnt matter...he was there when the band was at their peak.
@@aimfuldrifterbullshit. Not even bull's.
For those of you wondering, Blackmore didn’t show because the Hall waited until after Jon Lord died.
Valid.
Eh I feel like that's bull
Lord was a huge part of DP sound
Ritchie and Jon were great friends after leaving Purple. I respect both of them for moving on and doing what they like.
I think that if Jon Lord had still been alive , he would have persuaded Blackmore to attend . So I think there’s some validity in what you’ve said .
Testament to Blackmore's greatness - they're all talking about him even though he's not there. They would be talking LESS about him if he WAS there! That's the genius of the man.
Genius? I find it INFANTILE.
A genius with a horrible personality.
Blackmore is no genius he is a man with such a bad character that nobody can stand him even Jon said in a documentary that it was wrong that they listened to Blackmore and that they fired Ian and Roger.
Hard to believe that there were " Rap " groups inducted way before these guys....... What a Joke this is...
And N.W.A. If you can believe it
Yeah. I really wish DP had told R&RHOF to go fuck themselves.
I couldn't agree more. And they inducted another rap group this year as well. If they would have inducted Yes (or the Cars) instead, I would have thought that they were finally trying to redeem themselves, but it definitely wasn't the case.
At least, Steve Miller told the hof to go fuck themselves.
cmon woman from tokyo just hush before you Burn just go wstch the smoke on the water
Thomas Ponzio
Just don't Bring any Storm or Fireball my way.
I m glad they got the recognition they so deserved, though many years too late. Wish Jon was in that line up, as well as Ritchie. Not the same without these two legends.
Blackmore doesn't have to prove anything. He is absolutely the greatest guitarist ever in the Business. He has created more original music than anyone else and he never has repeated himself. At nine years old I knew Ritchie and Lord were special. Paice is a monster. When Ian and Roger left Ritchie and Lord revamps Purple and Burn was fresh and different. In 85 Mark ll gets back together and they created the greatest reunion album in History Perfect Strangers. They didn't rely on their past success and created music that stands on it's own. They have done what no other band has ever done. The RARHOF is a joke. I knew when the creators picked Cleveland for their Venue they had their heads up their asses. RITCHIE Has been in the Hall of Fame since Purple warmed up Cream for 5 shows and blew them off the stage. Ritchie can't be replaced although Morse is great he will never be in the class of Blackmore.
None of them has to prove anything! In particular, Gillan doesn't need to prove anything since Jesus Christ Superstar ;)
@@dimitrisparaschakis3280 No he doesn't. Ian Gillian was a Natural Talent. Purple has been Famous World Wide.
he is the greatest
The truth is they were afraid that Ritchie Blackmore might show up wearing his Medieval pointed felt hat, curly toed shoes, an extra large codpiece, wanting to play Highway Star on a lute.
And it still would have been more inspired than this bands performance.
There ought to be a "CZcams Comments Hall of Fame" for comments such as this...love it
That would have been awesome!
Blackmore is a legend.he doesnt need this shit to be "recognised".
Ты что,травки обкурилась.Мозги хоть иногда включай,так для интереса.
Rock and roll hall of fame...what a JOKE
been saying that since the beginning when The Beatles weren't in until 1988 WTF...now ABBA,B.Withers,Run Dmc,NWA,....., I WANNA KNOW WHEN BARRY MANILOW AND AIR SUPPLY AND LIONEL RICHIE ARE GETTING IN
Hall of Shame!!!
I agree where is Yes,ELP,ELO,Cars,Tull,Moody Blues,Alice Cooper,Tommy James,Raiders,Foreigner,Boston,Kansas,Lynryd skynrd, Bob Seger,Dire Straits,Steely Dan,Doobie Brothers,Heart,
and Disgrace
Agree with most of those, especially Dire Straits, Moody Blues, ELP, Yes, even Kansas, but Heart was inducted in 2013
Roger Glover on Blackmore: "RITCHIE BLACKMORE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED PERSONS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH"....
Without Blackmore, purple is not deep enough
+Joshua Tan , disagree with that 100%...
Imho Ritchie could not reach the heights he got with these guys after Ian and Roger were fired...
I'm glad Ian mentioned Tommy Bolin, he always says complimentary things about him.
@@SergFilippenko The first time around in 73 Gillan left and Glover too
Mescaline1337 haha you're such an idiot
Deep Purple doesnt need any awards... Perhaps the greatest musicians of 20th century.
Jürgen Kraise Totally agree.👍
Holger Kølle a
*rock musicians!
whoa, bud - let's reel that one in a bit - LOL! For one thing, there are a lot of music genres besides hard rock - the 20th century had some incredible classical players, for instance - and that's just for starters - I love DP and have since 1971 when I first bought their records - but c'mon, the rock and roll field is pretty damned RICH - like Jimi Hendrix, just for starters . . .
7777Scion but DP are the best
How on earth can you call it Deep Purple without Blackmore & Lord?
+Sam Morreale That's kinda silly, don't ya think? What did you expect them to do, get out a backhoe and shovel, dig up Lord, dump what's left of him into a wheelbarrow, and then ship him in a cardboard box overseas to attend the ceremony in Brooklyn? That would have been an interesting photo session. "Hey, Jon's molar and third rib, say cheese!!"
+Tonto Epstein Maybe induct them during the 19 years while they were eligible and Lord was still alive and countless rock fans were helpfully reminding them how ridiculous it was that they weren't inducting them? That wouldn't have been silly. But the RRHOF is VERY silly.
+Joseph Scott What, not a fan of Donna Summer?
As long as "the voice" of DP is in the band it will always be DP
@@lukethebody his voice went in 1984
Gillan looked extremely annoyed by all the questions about Ritchie. Frankly, I don't believe for one second that he invited him..not one bit
r fernandes oh, I believe him. like paice said, Ritchie's the kind of person that would say no and suddenly show up. that dude isn't wired the same as everyone else. it's called autism.
Gillan & Coverdale both invited him, and there is a video on here where Ritchie explains in detail why he didn't accept their invitations.
But have you watched the video where he gives his reasons for not attending?
He explains it quite clearly.
Ian Gillan is a gentlemen
Ritchie would've come but he was not invited to play with the band. So then he decided not to come. It was Gillan's decision (at the very least). Later, Gillan backtracked. Gillan's my favorite rock singer but he showed no class in his handling of this. They should've at least let him play one song.
Jon Lord on Blackmore: "I MUST SAY THAT RITCHIE BLACKMORE HAS ALWAYS BEEEN THE PRIME MOWER OF DEEP PURPLE´S MUSIC ALMOST ENTIRELY....
Sunshadows13
I wish people would proofread
themselves before they submit
their comment."prime mower"?
It takes the impact away that it was
meant to have when it comes up lame.
(The vertical dots to the right are your
edit buttons.Push them and change
the word the right way.
C'mon, I know you can do it!).
I thought it was Tommy Bolin
The truth is that DP did pretty well without him too. Especially after the Bananas album!
Shouldn’t it be Prime mover?
"I think that, the prime mover behind Purple's music for all this years, has been Richie Blackmore" - I know the documentary by heart xD
One of the BEST Rock bands EVER
Ritchie wanted to be there but was touring with his other band I believe. I saw an interview with him where he spoke of it. He also indicated that he was not averse to playing a few more concerts with Deep Purple, but with different managers and contracts, negotiations, etc; it would be a logistical/legal nightmare that would be difficult for most of us to understand. Further, he has no lingering animosity against Ian or others that keeps being reported. It would be amazing to see Deep Purple play together once more before more members pass. Even better while Jon Lord was alive. Lord was probably the greatest rock organist in the world and certainly the one responsible for Deep Purple's sound. When each of us die, both we ourselves and those who love us, seem to voice many regrets. It's sad to say but surely the remaining members of Deep a Purple all have their regrets and realize that our childish, prideful, arguments that stop our progression and keep us from our potential and make each of us losers of the love and friendship that would have enhanced our lives as well as depriving fans who supported us of more amazing musicianship would have been better than the loss of loved ones and friends who were a huge part of our life and made each of us who we currently are. We all owe each other, and especially God, a great debt for allowing us the associations we share with one another. Life simply marches on around us, or if we allow it, over the top of us and nothing or no one, save God Himself, can stop it. Thank you Deep Purple, present and past for sharing yourselves and greatly enriching my life and the world.
Thank You Deep Purple , Nice work for decades.
Deep Purple The Best Band of All Time...
Cheers to Paice, Gillian, and Glover. You richly deserved this award. Deep Purple is the best rock band of all time.
+Randy Pacchioli Guess you've never heard of The Beatles...
+Dr. Bombay Guess you've never heard of Led Zeppelin or the Kinks. (Someone else's turn.)
You enjoy the Beatles more than the Kinks, got it. I don't.
+Wolfgang ! As well Beatles as Deep Purple are numer one´s for me - but they operate in completely different categories. Beatles are the most innovative and variated band of all time - mainly because the bands members were all very talented and different - so in that way they really compemented each other perfectly.... Depp Purple is in my opionion the main pioneering hard rock band. I do prefer them before Led Zeppelin-
+Randy Pacchioli their music combination of classical and heavy rock music in the early 70's was unique but their lyrics were completely stupid. Listen to Black Night for example.
led Zep and other bands were far better in that sector. That is way they were never too popular in the States. Not everybody likes 20 minutes solos.
From 1984 to this day they have added little to the rock'n'roll legacy.
I loved how, at the end, for the inevitable question, "Did you invite Ritchie?" Ian Gillan spoke up. "I invited him, I called several times..." Gillan is the reason why the great Blackmore stayed away. It's not hate, it's that Ritchie knows that Ian Gillan can piss him off, and would. Both of them know that Gillan is the recognizable voice of Deep Purple - and that Blackmore is the same thing, on the instrumental side...but the fact is that their contest of wills goes back more than 40 years. Too bad - for us, and them as well.
I wouldnt walk across the road to hear Deep Purple with the line up they have , Gillian voice is terrible but was magnificent in the early 70 s No Lord No Blackmore no no no
@@steveberti7060 Ian stil sings fantastic for his age. I saw them again in 2022 and it still was a very beautiful concert. I'm looking forward seeing them in Oktober and Blackmore's medieval crap is not worth listening too.
Does Lars Ulrich not realize how low-class it looks to be standing there with Deep Purple, chewing away on whatever the fuck that is?
It's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, NOT dinner with Her Majesty the Queen - honestly, who gives a crap?
Who gives a fuck the queen
about the
+ John Ignatius Bradley
I don't, but I think you completely missed the point of my comment.
what u got against chewing?
Has since been reported many times that the band, (mostly gillan) and mangement made it clear that RB wasn't welcome , nor was Coverdale and Hughes. Although he still could've come. No doubt he would've gotten the biggest reception.
This has been long overdue. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum missed their window of opportunity from 1984 to 1993 while Deep Purple working as the reformed Mark II line-up: Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice.
I still can't believe people bought the manager forbidding Ritchie to attend story. Like Ritchie would accept it if he actually wanted to be there.
+Martsapso21
So true.
I agree with his punk attitude he would go even if he wasn't invited by deep purple.
+Martsapso21 Gillan is pulling an I'm-legally-still-in-the-band-and-you're-legally-not-so-nah-nah on Ritchie, same way Gilmour did to Waters. The manager was doing Gillan's dirty work. Listen to this line from Gillan to a reporter from 2013: "If you want to talk about Ritchie, I guess we have to - not many people do these days." He can't even think of a dig that's... true? Childish.
Everyone is talking about the last two DP albums, sorry to say but nobody talks about Blackmore anymore, he's probably on a ghost hunt in a medieval castle somewhere
Rockin roll hall a fame is a joke. Good for Ritchie for not showing. We all know they should have been in many years ago
Ritchie has never cared about awards, and even IF he were still in the band, there's a good chance he would've skipped it, lol. I think that Tommy Bolin should have absolutely been inducted alongside these guys, because his guitar work on "Come Taste the Band" is very, very good, and he was an amazing player. Even Blackmore himself praised Tommy's talents, both when Tommy was alive and after he died.
Good to see Deep Purple receiving awards because they have gone from Mega Gods to an Underrated Band. I also would have liked to see Dave Evans and Ritchie Blackmore in that same room.
God bless Blackmore n the great Jon Lord....sad the heart of the band didn't show....regardless... Ritchie Blackmore is easily the heart and still loved...
Ritchie was the driving force behind DP, the man is talented beyond comprehension. Roger Glover said some years ago, "God pointed a finger at Ritchie and said, 'I am going to give you a gift no one else has'" And he did Ritchie Blackmore is a genius.
+orange70383 Yup, he's a difficult person but he is a musical genius. He has that something special that few have.
As well as Airey & Morse excluded I always found it odd that Rod Evans was included but not Nick Simper. Surely they should have included both of them or neither
No Steve Morse, no Tommy Bolin, no Nick Simper, no Joe Turner, no Don Airey inducted? Hall of shame!
Ritchie, Glenn, David et al were invited and welcome to attend, but there was no way they were going to be allowed to perform with the current DP.
Thanks to Ian Gillan's massive ego, pride and arrogance!
ABBA, Madonna, Donna Summer and Grandmaster Flash (just to name a few undeserved) were all inducted before Deep Purple to this joke called The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rumor has it Miley Cyrus, Nicky Minaj and Justin Bieber are strong contenders for 2017.
no sorry Air Supply,Barry Manilow and Kenny Rogers
it's just a show put on by the money men to show off with. not worth talking about, true greats don't need it !
David Topchiev Fuck you too, scumbag!
David , you get everywhere...and you're usually spouting shit too!
ABBA great.
No Deep Purple without Blackmore - period!
He named Deep Purple and call in Gillan...
Ok then now it's time for Rainbow to be inducted and let's see if Blackmore shows up!
+repetitivemotion Well, which line up ? Dio can't come anymore, Jimmy Bain is dead by now, Cozy Powell is long gone... I think we would end up with Graham Bonnet playing the clown on an otherwise empty stage ?
+Green Razor Even Don Airey!
+repetitivemotion "Ok then now it's time for Rainbow to be inducted" The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame will get right on that after they're done inducting A-Ha.
+repetitivemotion
I think Ritchie Blackmore should be in HOF as separate musician
because with all due respect to other great musicians of Rainbow ,we all now who is mastermind behind Rainbow
+repetitivemotion Yes I totally agree to that. Rainbow was a fantastic hard rock band among the pioneers in hard rock from the seventiees. As Blackmore has used so many line-ups I don´t think there would be any problem to find a group to perform with. Dooghie White was among the best singers from that band. And Glover as well as Airey has played even in Rainbow, And I do actually believe Glover when he says that he would love to have Blackmore there at the induction for DP....
Metallica before Deep Purple is a crime. Nirvana before Judas Priest is a crime. Green Day before The New York Dolls & The MC5 is a crime. Guns N Roses before Thin Lizzy is a crime.
Ritchie Blackmore IS/WAS Deep Purple.
He only made the name of the band. Ian Gillan made DP, as well as Paice, Glover, and Lord.
Ritchie's not there!!!!!!!! So that ain't "Deep Purple" as great as each individual member is Ritchie WAS "Deep Purple"
Without jon it would still not be purple
Time for this crowd to pack it in.
Ian and Roger are Deep purple for decades long and Blackmore's music is notting special anymore since he does that medieval crap.
No Blackmore. No Lord. Disgrace the Hall waited so long.
Nice to see one of the greats of drumming on stage & Lars Ulrich to congratulate him.
i don´t know any DP songs after Ritchie quits !
Perfect Strangers, Child in Time, Smoke on the Water, Knocking at your backdoor, Man on a silver Mountain, Woman from Tokyo, Black Night, Soldiers of Fortune etc. and what are the hits after ritchies depart ?
Wer Jor silver mountain was rainbow, not purple.
Last two albums were both number 1 albums, only number 1 albums with Blackmore were Machine Head and Fireball, just goes to show ?
What hits did House Of Blue Light, Slaves & Masters and TBRO produce?
Deep Purple had two number 1 albums in Germany in the last 6 years, Bananas went up to number 3, which of course is not comparable to a number 1 in the 70ies due to declining sales, but still these albums managed to reach good positions "fighting" against albums by Ed Sheeran and P!nk.
Way to go Blackmore. Show the rrhof the respect there damn show deserves. Wish none of them turned up now.
+kelvin davis The RRHOF deserves NO respect - it's a cashflow based fraud.
+kelvin davis Well, Ritchie apparently would have shown up if Gillan agreed to let him perform alongside him, but Gillan wouldn't agree so he didn't. (Ritchie once made a lucrative deal with the record company to stay in Deep Purple that Gillan believes Ritchie kept secret from the other bandmembers. Among other things.) So it wasn't about the RRHOF this time. But it was when e.g. Johnny Rotten, after receiving the "good" news that he doesn't care about, wrote to the Hall that they are "urine in wine." Which is exactly what they are.
+Joseph Scott
People have buying Deep Purple records in their millions and attending their concerts since the early 70's
I would have thought that was enough fame.
They didn't need this shit to show how good they are.
Clive Bindley
"They didn't need this shit to show how good they are." Of course. As Mike said, "The RRHOF deserves NO respect - it's a cashflow based fraud."
DP induction into R&RHOF turns into a Q&A about where's Ritchie. I guess this just goes to show that DP w/o Ritchie is not DP.
Ritchie had no times for this nonsense..Good job Ritchie..
I LOVE you DEEP PURPLE the BEST BAND of THE Planet. ......😆
Coverdale & Hughes were treated like lepers by the remaining members of DP at RHOF. Blackmore was wise to stay away, the two Ian's have become conceited and Glover has never gotten over how he was chucked out in 73
Yeah, I guess that’s why Glover worked with Blackmore in Rainbow?
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 you nailed it again!
I agree! Thanks to Ian Gillan's massive ego, pride and arrogance, Deep Purple never played live songs from Burn, Stormbringer and Come Tase The Band since they returned in 1984. What a shame!
Shame on this Hall Of Fame Thing. Deep Purple should have been inducted a LONG, LONG time before this. Gadzooks, (nothing against and no disrespect to Metallica), but was Lars out of his diapers at the time Book Of Talysein was released? They should have been inducted long before Jon Lord passed away, and he was no spring chicken when he did pass on. It is a sad honor.
I'm sure Lars would be the first to agree with you.
It's not about how old a band is it's about how influential and high selling they are. Metallica sold more than Deep Purple and were more influential that's a fact. I know it's cool for elitists to hate on Metallica but facts are facts. Metallica were inducted first for a reason.
@@Fireglo The influence of DP in rock music is by far bigger and earlier.Check it out mate.It's not all about copies sold..ask musicians.
@@filipzmaher7962 completely untrue. Metallica are literally a musical phenomenom. 22.1 million tickets sold, 6 consecutive albums going number in every country spanning a 25 year period. Playing to 1.6 million people in one show. EVERY metal band post 1983 cites Metallica as an influence every single one of them. They are the quintessential metal gods. No metal band has or ever will be as huge as Metallica. Deep Purple were influential yes but Metallica is just a whole other level. A lot of metal fans like to hate on them because they're just so incredibly popular they feel they have to be different but facts are facts.
@@Fireglo Ok ,you can have your opinion.I have nothing against Metallica.I am just saying that what DP did for rock music in 1970 is more than what Metallica did in 1990,for example.Many things happened for 20 years in RnR music.Not to speak about the quality of playing and singing...I told you it's not about commercial succes only.I suppose you are younger than me,so we have different wiews on things.Metallica is much more popular in the present moment than DP but i think that influence of DP is huge.Wish you all the best.Long live RnR.
I've read comments that DP shouldn't have shown up to accept their R&R HOF award as a kind of "Fuck You" to the Hall for being snubbed for nearly 25 years. I think they showed up out of respect for their fans who have supported them and been quite vocal for years (myself included) that they were worthier than a lot of shit inductees who got in before them.
This was organised like crap. The Hall lost much of it's credibility.
Regarding Hughes and Coverdale, they should have been allowed to perform (with Morse and Airey on stage as well).
It's strange, because Gillan (if he was behind this) had no problem to share the stage with Ronnie Dio in 1999 when Purple recreated Jon's Concerto.
Also, Gillan performed with Bruce Dickinson 2 years ago at the Albert Hall when Deep Purple along with other musicians celebrated Jon Lord.
So why not with Coverdale and Hughes as well?! I repeat, it's strange, but a bad move anyway.
LIke they'd really let you play with them!
Ritchie was not DEEP PURPLE as some suggest. Certainly the organ playing of Jon Lord was as much a part, the vocals of Ian Gillen, the driving bass of Roger Glover, and the amazing drum work of Ian PAICE, all played a great part in the making of this iconic band. More than most bands, each of these musicians were/are virtuoso of their style of music and replacing any one changed the entire sound and made them NOT DEEP PURPLE. The band itself was one of a kind.
And also the amazing bass work of Glenn Hughes, the amazing soulful and bluesy vocals of David Coverdale, not to forget the amazing ORIGINAL members Nick Simper and Rod Evans.
Yes he was
And watching this there are STILL people wondering why Ritchie was not there !
Haha, funny as fuck !
It sad that the hall of fame didn't induct them years ago when Jon Lord was alive and it is sad the Richie wasn't there he should of thought about the fans and not himself
DP-the best band in the world !!!
If Coverdale and Hughes getting inducted, I didn't see any reason why Morse and Airey didn't get one. They're already legends even before joining Deep Purple
Well, now that Coverdale and Hughes have publicly denied this you might want to change it. Ian Gillian refused to play with Ritchie. End of Story. He also refused to let Coverdale or Hughes join in. Period. The hall of 'flame' is a joke and Ritchie, the #1 rock and roller there is, should have been the second inductee, after Bill Haley, if they knew squat about R&R.
Coverdale can sing just fine. I saw him live several times...and MKII about half a dozen. Today, Coverdale needs a lot of processing to make it work...just compare songs he still does with what they sounded like many years ago. But we all get old...when you grow up you'll get it. Hughes, however, is still the best rock and roll singer around. Machine head was weak...but Made in Japan nailed it. Burn is "THE" clasic studio Deep Purple album...to some. So you are welcome to side with Ian the ass Gillian, but to say Coverdale can't sing....WTF can you do?
vitaly goji You are ignorant and offensive...a child. Opinions get abuse? Good thing you are not standing right here. Fuck the ground you walk on you piece of shit.
+vitaly goji Well said, Coverdale's voice is finished. I heard him on several songs from the Purple Album by Whitesnake, and it was painful, especially on Stormbringer.
fcuk off you brainless sun of a beach ,
Purple without Ritchie, Chicago without Cetera, Journey without Perry (performing), hell going back to the Beatles with Paul not showing up. VERY frustrating.
Can anyone mention any DP-hit since Ritchie has left the band? These guys never would have been here without Ritchie's talent
+Géza Németh - they've put out some very good stuff since Ritchie left. Steve Morse is an incredible talent, but I agree with you about Ritchie beng the reason for their being there. By the way, I much more prefer Ritchie's blues-based style to Morse's technical perfection.
+Géza Németh Remember any hit before Ritchie left after PS?
*I* do. All three albums post Perfect Strangers have great moments - as do Steve Morse era albums.
There have been no "hits",although the last one sold well enough in this market to do another.
What about "Anya"?
What an idiotic question, why should Gillan sing the songs of Coverdale and Hughes?
Sad they weren't recognised earlier. One would have seen Jon Lord and Richie Blackmore here
Rod Evans should have been there also. He more than deserved this award.
Pff ahahahahaha
A great singer, a great drummer, a great bass player and an amateur tennis player
Finally my favorite groups are inducted. After all these years. Alice Cooper, Rush, Steve Miller and now Deep Purple? Wow... now all we need is Blue Oyster Cult and I will be one happy mofo!
+JR Rosalez
Indicted huh?
+Imad Basayev
He corructed it.
+Imad Basayev Auto correct can do that to a guy,
+kwagmyrefrontman
It surf cap
Mark 2 forever.
Good of Ian Gillan to mention Tommy Bolin as after all they were in different lineups.
Gillan is the only member of MK2 not to have met him.
Jon and Paicey worked with him, Ritchie met him shortly after he got the Purple gig, and Roger met him around the time of The Butterfly Ball.
I was disappointed that David and Glenn didn't play that night: I would have liked to have heard Morse and Airey playing Burn and Gettin' Tighter.
Ritchies choice not to show up was fair enough, he thought it was pointless as his audience are his appreciation, not some committee somewhere, making decisions about who is worthy of recognition.
RIP Jon and Tommy.
Damn ads... What was the third question?!?
RItchie is brilliant and he does not care about that kind of event, it's just business. The same is valid for EVH.
THATS THE PROBLEM.......RITCHIE DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE !!!!!!
THATS THE PROBLEM.......RITCHIE DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE !!!!!!
Blackmore on Gillan when they were both in the band: "He was an alpha guy, so was I. He wanted control, I wanted control. So we butted heads because of that. We still respected each other, but we never got on. We couldn't be in the same room." Gillan enjoying deciding what Deep Purple does and doesn't do reminds me of what happened when Dave Gilmour's lawyers managed to get him control of the Pink Floyd name. He basically said to himself, I'm still in the band and Roger's not -- oh, that means I'm the bigger man, I win! And he made a track called "A New Machine" (sequel to "Welcome To The Machine") on which no member of Floyd but himself played, and put it out as by "Pink Floyd." Egos.
+john victor Oetomo I agree with you. The best Morse riff is Rapture of the Deep which sounds a lot like something Ritchie would write. Most of the stuff is rather pedestrian. I do feel bad for Steve that he really does not get to play in concert his material, but then that's not what people want to hear. They want to hear what Ritchie wrote.
+Joseph Scott That Blackmore interview was really telling. Especially when his wife mentioned some stuff about no members talking to him except Paice on his way out.
Kind of reminds me of betas at work giving someone a wide berth during a final two weeks.
+john victor Oetomo Then why you were commenting on this video in the first place?
Only dipshits reduce an argument to "alphas and betas." Fucking clowns.
If Morse wanted his stuff recognized then do it under his own banner. You go to Starbucks for coffee not for an oil change.
Very very polite. Great for them people with class and education. I love Deep Purple
Not diggin the separation between MKII and MKIII at this event. Feels like Ian Gillan is trying to keep them on the sidelines. Just my opinion.
+Steve Steele Not just your opinion....
+Steve Steele Gillan is a wanker who can no longer sing so he doesn't want the competition.
+ChristineDe1 Exactly. I love 70's Gillan but there's no way he could share vocal time with the likes of Hughes who, in the span of a single song would have fans calling for Gillan's retirement. But let Coverdale and Hughes loose to sing a number or two from Burn and yeah, that would seriously call into question the current lineup's existence. Especially if it meant Blackmore coming back with Coverdale and Hughes. We know Blackmore and Coverdale, and Hughes and Lord have had that conversation. If Lord had not died I think it would have happened.
+Steve Steele I think it would be a tough dynamic to keep going on new material. But it would definitely be a beast of a reunion tour!
+Steve Steele Hughes performed Burn and other songs from MK III and IV at the Albert Hall 2 years ago when Purple and other musicians celebrated Jon Lord. Coverdale was absent (Bruce Dickinson performed along with Glenn instead), but the drumming was done by Ian Paice anyway.
Hughes was great indeed, although I think he screamed way too much, but I liked the performance nevertheless.
After Purple took the stage (in the current lineup) at end of the event, nobody called for Gillan's retirement or for things like that.
But anyway, if Gillan was the one who refused Coverdale and Hughes to perform, that was indeed a bad move from him. And it wasn't like Morse and Airey had to be left aside.
it's always Ritchie. because he brought them to gather.
Deep Purple is the greatest rock n roll band ever appeared on the face of the Earth, 27,000 times better than Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Stones combined!
Bravo Fatima
Does it surprise anyone that RB wasn't there?
Perhaps Rock n roll should be inducted into the deep purple hall of fame
Ian handsome as ever❤
The Lonely Rocker is glad that this band got finally inducted into the Hall of Fame! Good reason for rejoicing!
RITCHIE SIMPLY SAID IT IS NOT FOR HIM IF HE HAS DONE HIS PART AND LEFT A MARK IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK MUSIC THEN HE DID A GOOD JOB BEING A MUSICIAN,,, FOR HIM THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN A POPULAR INDIVIDUAL & A TRUE HEARTED MUSICIAN
Wow, no funny comments about how Lars thought he was in DP for a minute? 0:57
I put Deep Purple on the top of My Hall of Fame and that is enough for me I don't care about the Nashville Palaver.
I was really looking forward to their induction and the fact Ritchie did not show up is just crappy. Moments like this happen once in life and for your legacy you must seize the moment. Jon Lord and Ritchie were very close and just out of respect for Jon, he should have been there. There are very few if any bands top to bottom that could match the musicianship of DP.
+Marty C Blackmore didn't show up even at the "Celebrating Jon Lord" event that took place at the Albert Hall 2 years ago. So, not showing up at the HOF it's no surprise at all... at least for me.
Ian Gillan made DP to who they were, as a vocalist. Coverdale was great, but preferred him more when he formed Whitesnake.
what a great band,instramental,meshing together,lord paice,blackmore,on top the vocals,thank you so much for all the great music,jon lord i miss your keyboard playing so much don is great ,stev is great,they still doing it
Jon Lord on Blackmore: _"I MUST SAY THAT RITCHIE BLACKMORE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PRIME MOVER OF DEEP PURPLES MUSIC THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS, ALMOST ENTIRELY"!.... By other words: Deep Purples legacy= is first and foremost permeated by Ritchie Blackmore....
Jon Lord on Ian Gillan - There's only one singer for this band and its IG, we had struggled to find traction until he joined the band, after that we became an overnight success (just goes to show they were all equally important)
Lol @ Gillan's face at 1:50 . Ritchie might be difficult & eccentric, but I've got no doubt Ian has an even bigger ego.
El Cuento that's Jesus Christ you're talking about, pal! Ian was a star before purple took off. Ian had an ego before Ritchie became a household name.
Nope
If Gillan thinking about his ego at the moment, then he wouldn't answer anything about Blackmore..... and if you want my opinion those questions wasn't good questions.
Ian is a lovely ,fine man and Blackmore is the one with such a bad character and the big ego. Deep Purple still exists today because of the friendship between the members and Ian is the driving force behind Purple together with Roger and the records made after Blackmore are very beautiful too.
Blackmore was Deep Purple and the guys you see holding a statue are the backing band. Too many other musicians have been in the band. It’s like the circus, too many clowns. Answer why you are playing the songs he wrote. Ritchie rules.
In all of this, no one acknowledged, let alone had the decency to even mention original bass player, Nick Simper. A real bunch of class acts you guys are! NOT!
Rod Evans was inducted but why not Nick Simper or Tommy Bolin ?
Now all we need is Blue Oyster Cult to be inducted in there, then I'll be a happy camper.
Deep Purple made themselves the legends they are. The dont need the Rock and Roll Hall of lame.
Is it me, or does Ian Gillan look like he'd rather be somewhere else? What a dog and pony show. These guys should have been 20 years ago.
+Stormbringer Coming
Can you blame him? The real reason for these interviews is to try and dredge up dirt.
yes. I know. He should have told them to "F*** off". It is a shame they couldn't find a way to put David and Glenn on stage with them. That was a selfish snub on their part.
They were allotted two songs - hardly enough time for both line-ups.
The old singalong on Hush. David and Glenn could have sung along. After all, Gillan wasn't on the original either. A bit of selfishness on his part. I am sure Gillan was the only one against David and Glenn performing. No offence, but his voice could have used the break. Love the man, but his ego could have backed off a bit. David 's speech and Don Airey's keyboards were the highlight of DP's part. Don was the best choice to fill Jon's shoes. The only choice.
I wasn't knocking Deep Purple !!! I was knocking the HOF! Deep Purple always had class. Even they would call it a dog and pony show. I was lamenting the fact that in their shining moment, it was nothing but where's Ritchie? They SHOULD have included Coverdale and Hughes during HUSH. It was classless of them to not include those guys during some part of the musical performance. (Yeah, I know their reasons not to, etc..) Gillan clearly needed some vocal back up.
It´s disgusting to hear how Gillan is just telling lies in front of the journalists here!.... But his body language cannot hide the real truth. And he also revealed already some years ago that he would rather put down the induction than share the same stage with Blackmore again. To claim that it is a way to honor to Morse and Airey to just let them play at the ceremony is his way to try to hide the real reason. Gillan was scared to death having to be exposed to Blackmore once more. You know some kind of musicians age more rapidly than others while som others still has their brilliance and power intact.... And it seems like paice and especially Glover feel a bit awkward about the situation.
+sunshadows13 Yep, you nailed it. These guys don't want to be the "bad" guys, but whether or not Blackmore would have attended on his own is another thing altogether. In the end, he was essentially told he could NOT perform with the band on stage.
As far as the aging thing goes, Gillan not only looks old, but SOUNDS very old and tired. Blackmore, on the other hand, doesn't look that much older than he did when DP was at its best. I can't believe Gillan still sings, frankly. He should just stop.
Paice and Glover tried to make it sound like Blackmore is so much of an individualist (he is) that he would say one thing and do another (he wouldn't). Without Blackmore, DP would not exist and it's as simple as that.
+sunshadows13 Yes, Gillan and Blackmore performing together is beneath Gillan's pride (which _is_ completely Gillan's right btw), and Gillan has the ball, so he's taking it home. Phony of Gillan to pretend it's anything else.
+Joseph Scott I`m very pleased and glad to see that the majority of folks here don´t buy Gillans false mytological delia.... I must say that Glover seems to mean that he would love to see Blackmore there and his bodylanguage syncs well to his lips. Paice is busy trying to save Gillans face - from spreading even more false lies. But he fails in doing that, mainly as they both seem taken by surprise by Gillans falsifications....
+Fred DeRuvo I do think that the one that realy rides this whole thing through with credibility, integrity, professionalism and respect is DP:s original co-founder Ritchie Blackmore. Gillan is not connected with any credibility at all....
Can We get to see this in OZ Please. HOW The FUCKEN HELL do you people get to see these people so Fucken close.
Acho que nick simper deveria ter sido premiado bem como steve morsey.
I'm guessing all the fans know that Ritchie wasn't invited because most surely Ian Gillian was throwing shit at him, and also threatening the decisions board about inviting Ritchie.
All the fans know he's extra salty about Ritchie. And i guess it hurt Ian to the core that Ritchie received more applause and ovation than him. Total crime to the music world.
And all the fans know that Deep Purple's "Main Sound" came from "Ritchie Fucking Blackmore". Even Jon Lord acknowledged that.
Им по семьдесят лет, но слово старики им не подходит.
With that toothpick, what have you had for dinner, Dr. Lecter?
😂😂😂😂
Deep Purple has a million percent more class than the journalists (and fans) who keep harping on Blackmore.
+Mike Barnett Gillan harps on Blackmore.
Joseph Scott ...when asked about him. Any decent journalist or fan wouldn't go there, since it's been done to death.
+Mike Barnett
So does Ritchie!
i sure hope ur trolling
