I dont think is a good idea for Ritchie to be once again in DP. He's not into it anymore. Still, just like you, a Mk III reunion would be amazing, but I dont think it could happen. It seems to me that Gillan is the one calling the shots in DP.
I would rather see a Rainbow tour with Doogie White (something that wont happen either, after the accusations Ritchie did against Doogie and Greg Smith)
I enjoy Blackmore's Night a lot I like their Rainbow covers:

And of course Blackmore's Night have some really nice rock songs:

Gillan should just give in.

Heya, Ritchie Blackmore is doing excellent with his wife Candice Night, both of www.blackmoresnight.com
I've got the full length release "Dance And The Moon" and there's not a bad track anywhere.
Well worthwhile to catch live too.

Saw a Glenn Hughes mention. That guy has an amazing voice. He's over 60 and sounds better than ever!

What was the business and fall out with Doogie?
I think I'm one of 3,000 people to have bought that album. ... It was pretty damn good and modern-ly recorded. A great sound.

Matt Z., what's the deal with your signature?

I went to one of their shows a couple of years ago.
Depressing to see Richie Blackmore doing German Folk
songs on stage.
During the concert his wife asked the audience to shout in their song requests. I jumped up on my seat and screamed STARGAZER!!! Other people from everywhere requested stuff like smoke on the water, Light in Black, Since you've been gone etc. but in the end they did one of their Folk songs again.
But...it is still in him! He did some fine Solos on the electric aswell. I think if he gets rid of his wife he could return to Rock'n Roll...

Not a chance. His wife is the only thing keeping him from becoming a bitter old man.

I see a lot of people here really hate folk music...well, I'm not one of them. It's not the best folk music I've ever heard, but it's well-played, they're enjoying themselves and, most importantly IMHO, they're taking some old songs and some new songs, and the old songs get re-invented. I appreciate that. Queen, or BM/RT+AL aren't re-inventing any songs, they're just playing them the way they always played them, just with some new guy on vocals. That's boring to me.

I like a lot of the stuff Blackmore's Night are doing!
But it makes me sad when I think of all the great Rock Music Blackmore could have created!

it shouldn't make you sad. someone pursuing something they enjoy rather than going thru the motions to make easy money is much more refreshing.
btw - nice interview in CR this month - re Rainbow @ Donington.
Anyone else interested - there's also a great Zep 9-page article

At least where I come from, anyone over the age of 25 grew up in a time when musical tastes were very fragmented - in the 70s you were either a Kiss fan or a Carole King fan, and there wasn't much gray area. So it's not at all unusual that people who like rock music don't like folk or classical/baroque/renaissance/medieval music.
Furthermore, there are people who are into classical or jazz who completely reject every other form of music. People just get rigid in their tastes.
And as much as I agree with you about reinterpreting old songs in a new way (which is, essentially, the modus operandi of folk music), I'd say 98% of people who go to a rock concert want to hear a song exactly as they remember it. Even when Elton changes the phrasing of Your Song a bit, some fans lose their minds. "It's my song, Elton, not yours!" Ha.. !
But these days, a growing portion of kids have such a wide variety of musical tastes. The question of "what kind of music are you into?" just usually doesn't have a quick answer anymore. The digital realm has made music so accessible.

He´s thinking with his dick, and who can blame him? The women is beautiful. I would play some of that stuff just to keep her happy :-)
