hello there!!!
i’ve heard you mentioned as ” the stinking hippie”. where does that come from?
the first time i heard it was in ”hungry daze”: ”present the stinking hippie, and throw
the naked tunder to the crowd”. the second time is on the machine head dvd.thanks for that dvd bytheway(DOES it spell like that :-))i really love the videoparts from the US-tour,how much of the show was filmed?
with the wealth of material that each band member has produced outside of deep purple,have you ever considered going backwards and re-recording something from a solo effort as a band project,or working something into a live show?
I have played bass for some 25 years now, and you have always been one of my major influences. Thanks much for the enjoyable listening!
One question, concerning “No One Came” (my very favorite DP song): Did you write the lyric or did Ian? It is one of the best rock lyrics ever written. As you might imagine, as I’ve been playing for 25 years and you’ve never heard of me, I identify a bit with some of those sentiments 🙂
Roger,
Greetings. First some quick yada, yada. I’ve been a BIG TIME DP aficionado since 1970. I have also been a Steve Morse fan since shortly after he graduated from the Univ. of Miami and began his stellar career. I listen to a plethora of music covering a wide array of styles. The best of The Neville Brothers is playing on the player as I type to be followed by some Steve Hackett.
Hi Roger! You’re a great bass player!
I play the bass (a RIC jetglo) in a Deep Purple Tribute Band, and I’m a bit confused about the first section of your solo on Pictures Of Home (the studio one). How did you do this solo? Is it a secret? Is it possible to tab? I know how to do the second section, but the first (the chromatic(?) scale) is almost impossible!!
