Q: "Is this the real Deep Purple?"
A: This is indeed the official site. It has been the band's official site since 2002 and continues to operate as such as it is owned by Deep Purple and their management.
Q: "But what about www.deeppurple.com?"
A: That is a site targeted towards the fan. It is the official online fanclub where you can purchase loads of things.
Q: "Can I have an autograph?"
A: Unfortunately this is not possible. I have no signed photos or memorabilia. It would be rather difficult to arrange signed items especially dedicated ones as the band live in different ends of the world and when they tour they are very busy. Also, if the band would act on all requests, they wouldn't have time to tour or record new songs.
Q: "Can I send Ian a personal message?"
A: Which Ian? Remember that there are two Ian in Deep Purple so please be specific. And ofcourse you can send any bandmember a personal message. It just may not be forwarded to the person in question.
Q: "Why aren't they playing my town/country?" or "When are they playing my town/country?" or "I have heard that they will play x town/country but can't find it in the tourdates list. Why is that?"
A: Ok, here we go.
Why - probably as it didn't fit the schedule.
When - if you don't see it on the tour dates page on www.deep-purple.com it is probably not happening.
Can't find the date - same answer as "When"
The official site will ONLY list dates that have been confirmed. Just because you have seen tickets on sale does not mean the gig is confirmed. When the band's management tells me to post dates I will. Those dates are then confirmed.
Then again - nothing is really confirmed until you see it happening :)
