Speaking of Thomas Blug, he recently spent a very Purple day, and here are the proceeds.
Join us for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience as Thomas Blug spends a day with rock legends Deep Purple and Jefferson Starship in Luxembourg! Invited to watch the show from both the front row and side stage, Thomas takes us up close with the action, capturing special moments and sharing a unique perspective from both off and on stage.
The highlight of this episode is an in-depth interview with Simon McBride, Deep Purple’s guitarist, who has stepped into the formidable shoes of Ritchie Blackmore, Tommy Bolin, Joe Satriani, and Steve Morse. In this candid conversation, Simon opens up about the thrill—and the challenge—of playing with such a legendary band, and how he approaches this role to meet fans’ expectations.
Thomas also gives us a detailed rig rundown of Simon’s gear, exploring his pedalboard, Engl amps, and other tools that help shape his sound with Deep Purple. From insights into Simon’s gear to exclusive concert footage, this episode brings fans closer than ever to the heart of Deep Purple’s live setup.
For the impatient of us, who prefer to get straight to the point: interview with Simon starts at around the 14 minute mark.
Thanks to BluGuitar for the video and to Nigel Young for bringing it to your attention.
