  years ago in the 70`s there was a obscure album named (bulletproof)by a band called hard stuff. i noticed that the producer`s name was roger glover, i was wondering if there is anything you could say about the band.great album!

  hi Roger. just wanted to say thanks for the fab gig in Manchester. Was in the front row with my 13 year old. it was his first ever gig and he was blown away by the whole gig and particularly by your kindness in throwing him your pick. he plays drums and has just started learning bass so it's really special for him. He has been very much inspired and we both loved the evening.

  Hi Roger,
  My obsession (not wierd obsession!) with DP hit me in about 1974. Friends played "Burn" for me and I was blown away (no offence)...then I went backwards to hear what I'd missed out on. That's when I discovered the pure joy of "Machine Head" & "In Rock", and then the hidden joy in "Fireball", and "Who do we think we are". I say "hidden joy" because those albums took a few listens to really understand the subtlety of playing and what was going on in the band at the time, but discover I did. What a discovery! Then I realised that the song "Black night" that I'd been grooving along with was by Deep Purple too. I bought my first black Strat at the age of 13 because Ritchie was pictured with one on the cover of "Made in Japan". "Made in Japan" is the first album I bought with my own money (I think it took me 3 weeks to pay off the lay-by). I've been playing guitar profesionally since I was about 15 years old, and always kept alive my love for DP, so much so that in 2007 I finally put together a tribute show in Sydney with like minded muso's (a couple of which tell me they've met you). Please have a look, I'd love to know what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om7QPio2TUk. That's "Highway star". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om7QPio2TUk. That's "Strange kind of woman". There's plenty of others on show there. We attempt to keep it as authentic as we possibly can (the outcome varies). I was too young to see DP in Sydney in '72 and it is a great regret in my life not to have seen Purple in what I consider to be it's prime. Somebody mentioned that the bass coming into "Smoke on the water" was a turning point for them, I agree. The way the bass drives into "Smoke" on "Made in Japan" is thrilling! I've listened to the bootleg of your's and IG's last gig in Japan in '73 and may I say the playing is fantastic! It's totally different to "Made in Japan" from just a year earlier, so tight, so aggressive! Surely there must be a desk tape of the gig that could be farmed out as an historic release? I'm a member of the DPAS and as such buy all of the old recordings when they're made available. I love them all! I'd like you to understand that, from a fan's perspective these old gig recordings are like pure gold to us, and regardless of how you guys feel about them there is always something for the fan to enjoy and appreciate in them. I remember reading that IG didn't like his vocal's on "Made in Japan"! Well, I think history (and sales) can prove that no matter what he thought others felt very diferently! I've seen DP many times! The first time with Tommy Bolin in 1975, Rainbow in '76, ( I know it's not Purple but what could I do??), the reformation in '84 (with George Harrison as special guest.....what an honour!!!!), then DP with Steve Morse on about 5 different tours!!! There is so much I'd like to say...but I won't bore you any further, suffice to say that I greatly appreciate what you, and DP have done for me, and to me, in my life!
  yours sincerely,
  Brent Dehn

  Hi Roger,
  
  I Just wanna say thank you for all the music and in a way learning to play Bass.
  The way the (Rickenbacker) Bass came in on Smoke on the Water on Made in Japan blew me out totally and inspired me to play bass and now, 30 years later, I still do. And I still enjoy playing along Deep Purple albums.
  Thank you.
