He is talking about Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice being the driving force of Deep Purple in his opinion. Tony Edwards and John Coletta were the managers of Deep Purple he was talking about as well. Deep Purple Mach II is probably the one everyone gravitates to. Ian Gillan and Roger Glover. Machine and Deep Purple In Rock. Mach III with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes had Burn, Mistreated which are phenomenal. Then after that it sort of faded til Mach II got back together. They brought back some of the old glory with Perfect Strangers but then faded after that I think. I saw them with Steve Morse ..but it lacked something in my opinion. With a new guitarist now they have a bit of the spark back but they are all in their 70's except for that younger guitarist and time gets everyone unfortunately,
Interesting to hear. With the benefit of hindsight I know other great British bands rising at the time connected dramatic guitar with drums in new ways. Then, fusing continental and blues R and B and jazz, developed into their own thing. Management is always the heartless side of any biz. Money rules.
Don't think I've ever heard any of Purple or Whitesnake say a good word about John Coletta. Gillan, Glover and Coverdale were particularly critical of him.
I remember that got mentioned in the excellent BBC 2 Purple docu "Rock Family Trees" from 1995. Gillan saying "I knew you were trouble Gillan, the moment i set eyes on you. If you ever come to me with money troubles again, I'll fling you back in the gutter where i found you". (Coletta's words).
No no no Purple widened the meaning of the song word. They just stretched the mind of music. But music establishments mind just can not be stretched that easy. That's why we have this tension Deep Purple vs R'n'R Hall of Shame. Purple snubs them, they snubs Purple back. Purple they just not about standards. Simple as that.

Somewhere underneath this song there's a great rock'n'roll song!

It's clear, he's not wrong, he's not right. It's his personal opinion.

Wrong. Purple was about Blackmore and Lord. The Burn album is proof of it.
1,2.3 or 4 classmates, they cannot be wrong, there will always be a rotten apple in the basket
Just a bass player?
Glover has produced albums for some big acts over the years.
Looks and sounds like Phil Davis
When he said Deep Purple was all about Ritchie and Ian, I was thinking Gillan, not Paice.
This video needs to be edited with text on the screen to make it clear who he's talking about.
Blackmore and Lord! Whois this guy?
He's right. It's mostly riffs and jams. Purple were never great songwriters and I think they would all say that.
But they sound great.

Who's Tony?
Tony Edwards. Former manager
I'm glad you asked that question - was just about to do the same!
Tony Edwards and John Colleta - management.
