Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ian Gillan is a tit like.

NJS 4386 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thank fuck for that - thought he was deed. Never seen him live - queued up for tickets in 79 but didn't get them (day we beat QPR 4-2 when Peter Withe grabbed a dog). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Never was a big fan of Deep Purple, always though Free now Bad Company, were heaps better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Deep Purple were a bit heavier, up there with Sabbath for introducing heavy metal imo Speed King Highway Star Smoke on the Water Black Knight Strange Kind of Woman Classics!

trooper 940 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Blackmores allegedly a moody get but he has a wicked sense of humour & is a guitar genius. One minute the heaviest metal & the next the most agile of classical playing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4386 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I saw an interview with him once where he claimed he gave up rock after meeting Frank Sinatra who didn't have a clue who he was. I'd have been surprised if he had known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
