[Igor Shveitser]

 I am more than sure he enjoys living in the States (taxes lower, life cheaper, etc.) and playing elsewhere 'cause, judging by what I know about how many come to the gigs in your country, USA isn't a dream of a classic rock musician for some 25-30 years now. My Russia or even actually all of Europe excluding UK (we all know they never really valued such great bands as their own Heep) will bring much more joy and income for the likes of Blackmore. And if you think he isn't worried... well, ask Doogie White about that. :)))))) Or even Graham Bonnett. Throughout his carreer he always aspired for two things - to be in control over the business and to be trendy. That's why he formed Rainbow (twice), that's why he hired and fired myriads of great (and no so great) musicians. And also because of that he got rid of or quit ALL OF THOSE  who were of the same caliber as he is.  However, having said this, I don't mean he doesn't like what he's doing. Yes, he even enjoys it - but that can change in a blink of an eye.
Cheers, Igor

Once Ritchie has found out this folk thing will bring him more, he bid farewell to hard'n'heavy. :)))) To me, all that Ritchie does is obviously Ritchie, and some of it is truly great , especially when he joined forces with great vocalists of days gone by.:)))))

>>>I guess it's all about how you see and hear it, musically he's still playing in the same basic style he always has, though without the anger, I think Blackmores Night is the best music he's ever done, but I do miss those electric guitar solos and all that craziness he once had, and I do wish he would crank it up at least one more time for a proper rock album, but unlike do many others I think he should have Candice do the vocals and bring in JLT, and even Ian Gillan for a couple tracks, but I would also be happy if he did a solo rock album with some of the people he always wanted to record with like Paul Rogers. But for me anything Ritchie is always great. Dave S
