Thank You Euan. A person's frailty does NOT define them. Tommy Bolin's work on Come Taste the Band is amazing. For starters, the so called shredders from the Eighties really need to listen to Tommy Bolin's work on Come Taste the Band as he not only could shred BUT knew how to incorporate shredding into a song.

David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes definitely deserved to be inducted in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame for the incredible music they helped write in Deep Purple. As much as I love the Mark 2 lineup, I have always loved the Mark 3 lineup more. The albums Burn and Stormbringer are MASTERPIECES to me. The songs and the singing on them are incredible. The song Burn is one of the greatest songs ever and some of the best guitar riffs that Ritchie Blackmore has ever come up with.

I'll never forget...as a young boy....coming of age in the early 70s...when a friends older brother pulled out this album entitled "Machine Head", by a group called Deep Purple. He put it on the turntable....and it just blew me away. I was a young drummer...just getting started...and THIS was the kind of music me, and my buds, loved and played. Back in those days...we would put an album on...and just sit there listening to the entire thing...front and back. Reading liner notes in the album cover...scanning Rolling Stone magazine....Penthouse...just all the things a young 70s rocker would do. A little Jamaican Gold would most-times enhance the experience. What a Shangri-La time. Deep Purple was also so influential to other, prominent musicians...and obviously, deserve the induction greatly.

I just watched this on HBO last night. I would have liked to see Coverdale and Hughes perform Burn. But this current group is not used to performing songs from his era. I know Coverdale's looked upon by purists as an outsider, but Burn and Mistreated are two of my favorites from a band with a lot of really good songs. I think Coverdale probably sounds better than Gillan without backing vocals at this point. It's a shame that Ritchie couldn't get over himself for one night and accept an award that was at least 10 years overdue. Hey, he could have refused to perform right up until the last 10 minutes of the show then gone on and wrecked his equipment.

+Gary Unsworth And why the latest Deep Purple lineup is Gillan's tribute band? Gillan, Glover and Paice are the members of the most successful in every way, DP line up, MK2. Glenn Hughes has been going for years playing DP songs with various tribute and cover bands. He and Coverdale did only two DP albums (deliberately dont count Come taste the band, since it was pure disaster, as much as DP or whatever it was with Tommy Bolin), opposite Gillan, Glover and Paice, so it was ok to perform only with the latest line up. Lord sadly passed away, Blackmore disconnected himself from DP, and Steve Morse showed as very worthy replacement. Purpendicular is the most underrated DP album, yet so amazing, the latest What Now?! too. Deep Purple still exsists, and its not Gillan's DP tribute band!

[@dejanandric3771]

+john victor Oetomo This isnt a fucking silly tribute band Steve Morse is a full member that did 5 albums with DP, more than Coverdale and Hughes. The guitar player far better that Bolin (god rest his soul), that plays very well, and compose really nice riffs and guitar solos. Morse was even praised by Blackmore. I think you either didnt hear albums such as Purpendicular, Abandon or you, sorry but must say, have bad taste since you think CTTB is the good album, which definitely has never been. The album CTTB was the reason why Lord and Paice decided to quit and disband DP, because they sounded ridiculous. This is the current lineup, and they don't do covers.
