i found my way back here, and i want to say i was speaking off the cuff that day, i still say he is a weird asshole, but i need to point out his genius, and his awesomeness. deep purple, and rainbow fucking rock!
I dunno if I completely agree but, I can't disagree - nor will I. I like to believe that Ritchie will deny the unworthy of his greatness if he thinks his greatness is of the greatest. Meaning, unless everything is perfect (band, stage, audience, moon phase, etc) he will deem the moment unworthy. But, its easier to say he's a "weird asshole" Lol.
he doesnt play it live because it's great, and everything thats great, ritchie wont play. it's because he's a weird asshole, its why he had so many singers. everything that you and i enjoy ritchie manages a way to fuck it up. i luv deep purple, and thats whats so deppressing about it.
