Hi Roger,
I had the privelege of meeting you on Saturday 9th November at the DP gig in Manchester.
I have been a fan since I heard and bought DP In Rock (what an album). When I purchased the Made in Japan, the pics of you playing your Rickenbacker bass and wearing one of your trademark hats changed my outlook on music completely.
I eventually treated myself to a bass guitar and amp and of course a wide brimmed hat.
I just wanted to let you know how much joy and pleasure you and DP have brought to me over the years.
Last, but not least I hope you enjoy your birthday at the end of this month. Thank you so much once again
Eric.
Dear Mr Glover, may I please ask, do you have anything to do with the facebook profile called “Roger Glover fan page”? I wrote one comment on the page, and very soon got a reply on messenger as if it was you, in person, who wrote to me. Next thing offered me a membership card…? If this was you, I’m sorry for being over-careful. If it wasn’t you, this is meant to be a tip, that perhaps someone is taking advantage of your name. And of course, thank you very much for all the great music over the years!!
Hi Atle,

Hi Roger, I have a question for you. How does the band perform consecutive nights in the states with no breaks in between. Well, some dates do. But how do you do it? Do you leave right after the venue and sleep on the bus? Etc… Hope to have the opportunity to see you next year in PA.
Hi Roger,
I was astonished to see you in Pratteln after a Concert from Flying Colors with Steve Morse. I Heard you are living somewhere in Liestal. Is there a Chance to get a several LP Booklet signed from you ?
Roger, heard on the radio yesterday that Deep Purple is touring with Foreigner. That’s not true, is it? That makes me angry. I got all excited.
Dear Roger,
it was not easy for me to write you, since I am a fan of DP from my youth. But when I heard your last album “If Life Was Easy” I understood, that we have something in common, and probably you are a person I could appeal to. Actually, I am not sure you will reply me, but I feel that I need to try…
My name is Vladimir, I live in Germany, near Berlin. I am back to music after a long break. My “new start” has indeed some peculiarity – I started writing songs. I do it without the goal to reach a commercial success or something like that, but mostly to summarize my life experience and point of view, and share it with the interested audience.
So, I would like to record and release an EP (mini-album) with 5 songs. I have already recorded the demos for 4 tracks and you could hear it (in lyrics version) on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLz4zGdu2TxBWFZ3WkUATA?view_as=subscriber
My friends and some members of Cakewalk’s forum (I put some songs there to get feedback) are praising the songs and say I deserve a bigger audience. But it looks like something has changed in the musical business and the old traditional methods (finding a producer, label) are not working now.
I don’t want to create a big fan-base on Facebook or simply try to sell my demos on iTunes, Amazon, etc. as many people now do. I would be happy to find a small label, which could help me to get to my audience (which I am sure exists).
I understand that you are very busy, but if you like the material and agree to produce my EP, I could pay all the costs out of my pocket. If it is impossible, could you please recommend me any producer or label, which could help me with my project?
Sincerely,
Vladimir
Bin seit frühester Jugend euer fan. Für mich seid ihr einfach die besten. Seit Jahren schon habe ich den Wunsch und das auch festgelegt dass, wenn ich beerdigt werde mein lieblingssong ‘child in time’ spielen soll. Dieser song begleitet mich seit meinem 14. Lebensjahr. Danke für eure Musik.
Roger, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ❤️💜❤️
Hello Roger. How i can to have one of your guitar pick Infinity? I was in your show São Paulo – Brasil. Happy Christmas, happy 2018 and God bless you all. Congratulations. Michel.
OMG. You do look at this site. Yeah Roger I was the one. Refresh your memory and watch the video. Well anyhow you made my day and the $450 I paid for ticket was well worth it. And if you ever come back to the Pittsburgh Pa area, please let me know. I can give you a tour of the city and show you a good time. Luv ya. 💜
Yes, I do, occasionally. So, you were the one?
I don’t remember it very well. 😉
Good luck,
RG
❤️ Hello Roger. Wanting to know if you remember anything from the Burgettstown, PA concert at the Keybank Pavillion?? I was the one you kept looking at and even got a tongue wag during Space Trucking when everyone thought you were gonna fall off the stage. I really think you are the best looking of the bunch and the most entertaining. Hope you will be coming back next year so I can make sure I get a meet and greet. Love ya!!
I represent Jack Emblow with regards to the PPL and would be most grateful if you could tell me on which tracks Jack played on with regards to the Butterfly Ball Album
Hi Bill. Jack Emblow played Harlequin Hare. RG

Hi roger, I wrote you from Valencia (Spain) and I would like to know what year is the rickenbacker of Machine Head and with which Marshall you play. You’re a great bass player and my inspiration along John Deacon.
I was just wondering if the marvellous Butterfly Ball is avaiable on dvd WITHOUT the dancing animals and dances, it’s so wonderful but we seem to miss alot of the singers on stage.
Sending much love,
From,
Kim & Charles

Hi Kim & Charles,

Hallo Mr Glover,
I’ve become an Purple-fan around 1976 and I try to get to every DP-gig in Belgium of Lille France if possible (Antwerp, Brussels, Tienen, Lokeren Roeselare, Lille….) We met backstage in 2009 in Antwerp, where I handed you a CD with some of my personal musical “experiments”. I’m also collecting your solo-work (from “Elements” – quit a long time ago… – over the Butterfly Ball, Accidentally on Purpose, Snapshot… until “If Life Was Easy”)
Do you think a new meet ‘n greet before or after the concert in Antwerp next week (april 2th) could be possible ? It would be a great honour and pleasure to me if I could have all my Glover-music signed by the artists himself… Meanwhile hoping and waiting… musical greetings. Joris Platteau

I saw rain bow back 1979, outstanding! When will deep purple come to the U S of A??
Dear Roger and Steve (Morse)
I have forever been a fan of DP, first in South Africa where I was born and then I migrated to Australia and saw your amazing gig in Melbourne. I am 59 yo and my daughter is 16 and she loves DP just as much as I do. Please take care of yourself and my one wish is, I wish I could be at a DP concert again. But I guess this Covid-19 problems are problems for us all. Take care and please send my bestt wishes to Steve M.
Hi Roger,
I am a fellow bass player & huge fan of your musical work. Internet sources show lyrics for Lost in Hollywood as “Scotch and the whiskey, and the Rainbow local wine”. Is that correct? Being from Hollywood, I know that the Whisky & the Rainbow are legendary bars so I figured “Scotch at the Whisky, at the Rainbow local wine”. When I spoke to Graham Bonnet he agreed with me but said that you wrote the lyrics, so….
Thank you
