Hi Roger,
Been a big fan since ’72 when I first heard Machine Head. In fact that album made me begin playing bass and have done ever since in many bands. Saw the show at Bristol and Cardiff recently and you were all brilliant..thanks!
My question is “How hard does it get to keep touring so extensively…I’ve watched your schedule and you seem to keep going non-stop”..dont you ever get worn out…IS that what happened to Jon?
Hi Roger,
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for many years of memorable nights out with Deep Purple, especially a tour of Australia a couple of years ago.
My question concerns stage production. How much, if any, input does the band get when it comes to stage production for a tour?
Whereas the sound and the music have always been exceptional, the lighting and other effects have often been less than appropriate for a band of DP’s stature, especially in the last 5 years.
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?
Heya Roger, Big fan of purple. im 16 and i play in a band which play alot of purple songs (Best things to play!!!) Now, im not here to ask a question about Bass guitar as i am a guitarist, and your choice as Steve Morse as lead Guitarist was the best Decision you could’ve made!!!, My question is When is DEEP PURPLE coming back to AUSTRALIA!!!???
Hi Roger,
While you’re recording in L.A., would it be possible to stop by and say “Hi”. I promise not to bring 100s of records along to be signed 😉
Also, are you planning any ‘secret’ club gigs while you’re here? If so, I’d be forever in your debt if you could let me know.
Thanks!
Phil
