Well, this is not a place to discuss this, but DP was/is RB. Even Lord and the others (even Gillan) said Ritchie was the prime mover of ther band, he was the one with the riffs, the ideas. As for the credits - they made a deal at the beggining that everyone should get a credit, but it not represented who actualy wrote the songs. Do you follow them now? Its a tribute to RB, 90% of the set is Ritchies songs.... Anyway, boring stuff for a DS forum..
Well I don't find it boring at all
even in MK forum, I think we can talk about music in general
I find fascinating to search where music comes from
does it come from a band, from a single musician ?
In another thread, I gave the example of
money : it is writen and composed by Waters, even the famous riff, but of course, it would never have sounded the same without Gilmour
so in the case of DP, even if Blackmore wrote almost all songs, he didn't sang it, and the guiart wasn't always the "main" instrument, so I'd say that others musicians brought more "ideas" than DS musicians did.
I see a difference between :
Mk who write, compose, play,sing, produce a song
and :
RB write a song, and it is sung by another one, and "played" by others (Lord's keyboard are an important key of the DP sound)
I'd say it's a bit like a Who song, composed by PT, but played by the band
PS - RB says he was influenced by the way Hendrix moved, his playin he says was "weird".
of course it was, I don't remember who said that (a bluesman or a journalist ?) : Jimi played the blues from the delta, but this delta was on Mars
