So amusing. I have in a folder somewhere all the interviews he gave to Brazilian rock magazines (and most newspaper interviews) back then. It was a great year for rock in Brazil overall. After years of shortage, in a matter of months we had only in Porto Alegre, the city I lived back then: Ian Gillan (May), Black Sabbath with Dio (July), Iron Maiden supported by Thunder (August) and even Skid Row (September).
With a Tommy Bolin Teaser T-Shirt…probably a subliminal message for Ritchie.
The way he sees his departure from Purple…well the truth is that he was fired ! And was happy to come back and sing on The Battle Rages On the songs composed by the same people who did “boring” songs from Slaves and Masters !
The Tommy Bolin shirt begs the question: If Blackmore had quit in 73 and Gillan stayed in Purple with Bolin replacing Blackmore, What would it have sounded like?
I remember seeing Sabbath live in Copenhagen with IG as singer, and can honestly say I blame that concert for damaging my hearing permanently. Still, it was very good, although there was some evidence of IG not knowing the lyrics completely, but thats another story.
ha ha,i remember that tour,promoting toolbox album with a very simple band.It was great.The Tommy tshirt of course,he is saying THIS is Deep Purple to Ritchie. hahahahahahhaa
Gillan still is not able to deal with the fact that DP made great music without him but does not have a problem with Tommy Bolin.
Welcome in Gillans head.

March 6th, 2016 at 17:51Is Gillan wearing a Tommy bolin shirt?
March 6th, 2016 at 17:54Tommy Bolin t-shirt… hilarious!
March 6th, 2016 at 18:04That’s the TB Teaser t-shirt.
March 6th, 2016 at 18:18seems he enjoys to pi$$ off “banjo player” but we know better that Ritchie is best guitar player last 50 years or so 😉
March 6th, 2016 at 18:21Yup, love the t shirt.
March 6th, 2016 at 18:33Doesn’t seem to have much of a voice in this ….

That Bolin T-shirt is awesome! And of course makes the Blackmorons around here furious.. ha ha
March 7th, 2016 at 18:07Doesn’t make me furious at all, love Tommy too.
March 7th, 2016 at 20:26The shirt is priceless…
Perhaps Mr. Blackmore could wear a Joe Satriani-shirt while playing the Rainbow reprise-concerts!
Have a nice Day!
March 8th, 2016 at 08:29I guess some would view this as a rare sighting.
