I saw this today and really enjoyed the video and the song. I've read that Ritchie Blackmore's Night stuff wasn't very good but on the strength of this, I'm reluctant to agree.

Now that we're in a situation where Steve Morse has played more gigs as a member of Deep Purple than Ritchie Blackmore, it's probably long past the situation to consider him the "new boy" but it's always apparent from reading the views of fans that the spectre of Blackmore continues to loom large in their thoughts and opinions of the band.

Sad to learn that Chas and Dave have split up. I think Dave Peacock has retired but Chas Hodges still goes out on the road with his own band.

Wrote some catchy...

I think Steve Morse is the only "shredder" on my list of essential guitar players because although Steve has an amazing picking technique that enables him to play faster than what I thought was humanly possible, he uses the technique sp...
