The Dio era will be a central part of the show, but we will also play songs from the Joe Lynn Turner and Graham Bonnet periods. About 30 percent will be DEEP PURPLE songs. Regarding the song selection for the summer shows, Blackmore said: "The setlist will be RAINBOW songs for about 70 percent, including 'Stargazer', because apparently that's a song everybody wants to hear. He sounds like a perfect fit for this job because he has a voice that reminds of Dio but is versatile enough to also handle the Gillan songs well." This guy has a great future in the scene. I am quite demanding when it comes to singers, but with Ronnie is absolutely feels good. He has a great voice and his fresh input is what gave me the final push. It was not until I found out about Ronnie that the whole idea came back again and when I started realizing the idea. However, the longer I thought about it the less appealing it all became.
"There were moments, a few years ago, when I thought of how much fun it would be to play some of the old songs again. However, all this comes totally from myself. Having a sore back or stiff fingers on stage is no fun. I turned 70 and that has its disadvantages. He added: "I don't want to sound morbid, but I do believe that thoughts like these come with the age that I have. Some people will use this project to check if I can still do it, while others will probably see it as an opportunity to see me on a bigger stage once again." "The nostalgia aspect certainly has a role in the upcoming shows. Both groups were advanced for their time. I think that RAINBOW made some memorable albums, which aren't less appreciated than any DEEP PURPLE album. I think the most important thing is to believe in yourself. My music never really got into the charts. I'm just trying to create music of a high-quality standard. He said: "I never think about how good or bad things are going in a group. David Keith, however, has a great feel for rhythm."īlackmore also talked about the renewed interest in classic rock and the media hype surrounding his return to rock. I know many guys who can make their sticks fly and use sixteen bass drums, but who are mediocre when it comes to music. On stage, I need a groove and a lot of these so-called 'famous' drummers often rely more on the show element than on feel. For instance, I do not like to work with showmen. "With drummers, I always tend to be very selective. It's very easy to work with him, because he's so experienced. Bassist Bob Nouveau is from Connecticut, and Jens is a known and respected keyboard player. He is orginally from Chile, but lives in Spain. He's 34 and I'm sure that he'll have a great career in this scene. He continued: "The singer Ronnie Romero is complete unknown. It's great to present new musicians to the public." Unlike many others, I prefer to discover new musicians who can add a fresh approach to my music. Of course, there were many familiar names around, but this idea didn't appeal to me. Asked why he chose not to hire a "more famous" vocalist, Blackmore said: "The whole idea was to find good musicians. Ritchie spoke to Dutch magazine Aardschok about his decision to enlist a new group of musicians to help him perform RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE classics at three European shows this summer. The new RAINBOW lineup made its live debut on June 17 at the Monsters Of Rock festival at Freilichtbühne in Loreley, Germany.
