Roger Glover Spills Deep Purple Reunion Secrets: Shocking Confessions About Ritchie Blackmore's Influence and Tensions!"




Roger Glover, known for his time in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, opened up to Rock Hard Greece about the challenges faced during the Deep Purple reunion. Glover shared that when the original five-piece band regrouped, he sensed that the old chemistry wouldn't quite spark as before. He clarified that they didn't consider Brian Adams, acknowledging he might have joined if asked. Glover attributed the reunion dynamics to Blackmore's influence; once Rainbow came into play, Blackmore took the leadership reins, and this persisted during the reunion, leading to tensions.
Blackmore introduced Joe Lynn Turner for the 'Slaves and Masters' album, a move met with resistance from the rest of the band longing for their original essence. Glover emphasized that though Jim Peter was a skilled songwriter, the band preferred self-penned tracks. Despite initial opposition, Turner's presence paved the way for the band's 25th-anniversary reunion.
Turner, in a conversation with Bravewords, revealed that Ian Paice acknowledged his role as a vital link. According to Turner, Paice believed that without Turner's involvement during 'Slaves and Masters,' pivotal albums like 'Perfect Strangers' might not have materialized due to Blackmore's possible departure.
