That should be about as illuminating as a 10 Watt bulb, I see from the trailer about the book the author is labouring under the idea that 4/5 of the classic line up played on it.

gerh Deep Pople made me laugh. I suppose when an album is 4/5 of Rainbow and 1/5 of Whitesnake and Ritchie was still hit chasing you're not going to end up with Machine Head part II. Hey TC - I'm having a dumb-ass moment here... So, explain to me the 4/5 of Rainbow [Itchy, JLT, Roger - 3/5, that right?] and 1/5 W/Snake [Paice and Lord - that not 2/5??]
Yours, confused, G

Yours, confused, G The 4/5 of Rainbow were Ritchie, JLT, Roger and me and the 1/5 of Whitesnake was Paicey. Jon Lord didn't play on S&M, I did. Jon had recorded 2 of the demos when Ritchie annoyed him so much he walked and left the project. Jon asked me if I'd finish the project as a favour to him, I agreed on the condition of a very fat fee and no royalties. So Jon was credited on the sleeve notes to give the impression everything was hunky dory in the band. Jon was persuaded to return for promo work and the tour after a very grovelling apology from Ritchie. I'd done exactly the same for Ritchie before, with 100% of the keyboards on Long Live Rock N Roll being me and I should guess around 85% of the keyboards on Down To Earth being me.

WTF!! Well I did ask I s'pose! [I assume, no point in asking what Itchy did to piss off Jon so much?] 👍
