Roger’s track-by-track

Team Rock has the new album track-by-track comments from Roger Glover: Time For Bedlam At the end of a jam that sounds promising, I’ll ask if anyone in the band has a working title for the song. Time For Bedlam was one of mine — it’s a fun play on words — and occasionally a […]

Rock’n’roll is not Hollywood

Ian Paice did another phone-in interview, this time with WMOS that broadcasts out of Connecticut. He spoke to a rather impatient host (apparently a teenager, no less, and it kinda shows) about the new album, last year induction into RnR Hall of Fame, how to stay sane on the road, and other things.

Even the holes in the road are good

Ian Paice and Roger Glover were guests on German Radio 21. And it resulted in an entertaining 20 minute interview, in which they were asked about their favourite drinks, what smartphone app gets the most use, which person they’d like to become for a day, and a whole bunch of other amusing nonsense. You can […]

Gillan’s track-by-track

The same issue of Burrn! also features an interview with Ian Gillan and a short review of inFinite (not very flattering). Apart from the things that have been said elsewhere during this promo campaign, Ian gives his track-by-track of the lyrics. Once again, exercise caution as this is just the gist of it and in […]
