Captain Chaos Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Just as a bit of trivia.. The very first UK gig by Deep Purple was at the Lion in Warrington 03.08.68. The start of greater things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I've been wondering where I could post this observation -- and found this seldom accessed thread. I happened to catch Keith Richards in that pirate movie from 2007 -- and am I the only one who was puzzled about why they buried his face under a pound of makeup? I assumed he was hired for the face he has in real life. Also, did pirates play acoustic guitars? That's for the History thread, but it's too obscure a lore, isn't it? Guess I'll go look up acoustic guitars on the 'net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Jerry the reason Kieth Richards was in the movie at all was because Johnny Depp based his character personality on the Rolling Stone. H spent a lot of time with him and then when the sequel was to be released they asked him if he would like to play Depp's father. The amount of make up - umm so he looked more like Depp??

Jerry Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 OK, I get the slurred speech of Jack Sparrow being similar, but the Stones don't wear kohl eye shadow do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 yeah it wasn't the 'classic' version of Deep Purple with Gillan on vocals though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chaos Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Mort No it was the Mark 1 version with Nick Simper and Rod Evans, but still a milestone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
