Hi Rog, sometime ago, on this site you wrote: “I have no idea of our touring plans for next year other than we will probably be in Europe around May.”
And here http://www.deeppurple.com.au/news.html I can read that a new album is expected in August.
Does this imply yet another oldies tour?, or will there be a reason for me as on old time fan, to spend money for the gig?
Roger a couple of questions further to my first one.
1)Are you going to take care of the production of the rereleasing of the Burn and Storbringer albums that you were not part of the original recording team?
You worked with David Coverdale in the past
and I still like your work then.
2)Is there a chance that with Steve Morse growing on the old stuff while he was young , the band will include some Coverdale or Tommy bolin stuff to the repertuar of the live act songs?
Hello Roger!
Thank you for this opportunity ask you some questions!
I am wondering what might be the hierarchy in Deep Purple when you decide about recording, touring and so on? Is somebody trying to be the boss or do you decide things together where everyone gets to say his opinion (including new boys Don & not so new anymore-Steve).
Is it true that all the major things conserning DP’s future have been decided in restaurants while drinking pint or two?
Dear Roger,
You were in production for a large period of time and if I remember correctly you have produced albums for Nazarath, Judas priest and Rainbow among other artists. My question to you is what do you think makes DP stand out amongst these other good bands and why does the band have such a large international following ( I am from India and have been a fan of the band since ’82 )
Regards,
Raj
Hi Roger,
To quote from an earlier QT response: “headgear (I like that name, sounds like it could be an album title)”.
Well – er – ahem – how about “Machine Headgear?”
NB I thoroughly enjoyed the recent ‘Classic Albums’ tv special on Machine Head, especially your and Martin’s dissection of various tracks at the desk.
Inclusion of ‘Lazy’ (a personal fave) would’ve been great, but I guess Tempus Fudged It.
