I have a question for you guys, I can't decide, so I need the opinion of you guys.
Who sounds better with Deep Purple, Steve Morse, or Ricthie Blackmoure?
They are both awesome, what do you guys think?
- Felix
edit: I know it isn't bass related, but those guitarists are awesome!

Nothing against Morse but, in DP it's either Blackmore or it ain't DP. |

Nick Simper (the first bass player) was one of my first influences! |

| | | | Blackmore by a mile...despite Morse being the far superior musician/guitarist.
A better question may have been Tommy Bolin or Morse.

Gillian or Coverdale? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Tipperary, Ireland | | Blackmore for sure, what a player. As for Gillan vs Coverdale... I just picked up the remaster of Burn today... damn, it's all good  |
06-24-2006, 02:51 PM
| | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | imo MKI and MKII were the only real deep purple versions...the rest were just cover bands |

|  | TalkBass' resident Bongo + Cowbell player | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Bucaramanga, Colombia, South A | | I also think that, while Steve Morse is a great guitarist, Blackmore was the one who defined Deep Purple. And he is terrific, also! "Made In Japan" is one of the best live rock albums ever made and he really shines there. BTW, have you seen this? It was posted in another thread. Blackmore's magic in action at the end of the song!
As for the Gillan/Coverdale debate, I've never understood what's so great about David Coverdale. To me, the real singer of MK III was Glenn Hughes.

"Blackmore, definitely. I can't even listen to DP with that other guy playing".
"Gillian definitely, I can't even listen to DP with that other guy singing".
What are you doin'...trying out your material here.
A better question may have been Rod Evans or David Coverdale.
