- Joe Lynn Turner joined Ritchie Blackmore to front Rainbow in the early 80s. Following his 3 album stint with the group, Joe faced a number of options next... Foreigner, Bad Company and Deep Purple! In this short clip, Joe talks about those days, from singing on jingles, trying out with Mick Jones in Foreigner, being asked to join Bad Company and then receiving the call to hook up with his favourite group of his youth - Deep Purple! But not just any iteration of the band, he was lead singer alongside Ritchie Blackmore, John Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice! Here Joe talks about that first session with them, his thoughts on the album he recorded 'Slaves and Masters' and how important the other members of Purple felt he was at that time.

I saw JLT perform a couple of years ago. I live in a small northern European city, not far from the arctic circle and I could not believe seeing one of my childhood heroes standing on the stage!
That is very cool! I live in the Highlands of Scotland, not quite as far north as you, but still fairly remote.
That’s great! Glad you got to see him play.
Slaves and Masters has and will stand the test of time ! This was great work by a very talented group of musicians.....
Terrific voice saw him with Rainbow not one bad note all night.
King of Dreams one of my all time Purple favourites
Wonderful song
Its my 23 yr old daughter fave song she ordered her slaves and masters vinyl.bit came the other day. Not bad for her first ever vinyl
I absolutely LOVE the _Slaves and Masters_ album! JLT did a great job with his time in DP.
Nobody says it but that Album is one of the best DP albums ever
@@SwisstedChef2018 About Slaves and Masters, I'll steal a quote from Jon Lord about Come Taste The Band...."Its a good album, its just not a Deep Purple album". Joe was great with Yngwie too.
I saw the JLT line-up Live!
At 1 point, Joe starts reading a poem while Ritchie just noodled in the background! It then turned into "Smoke On The Water"??
🤘🏻
@@SwisstedChef2018Should have been been released as a Rainbow Album , sounded more of the time he was wirh them, and not a Deep Purple.with Jon Lord and Ian Paice
Irony overload
Joe Lynn Turner is not only a great singer but also a great guitarist, I'd love see him out front singing and playing guitar....I used to see him with his band Ezra back in the early 70s and he could pull off all Ritchie Blackmore's guitar parts....Check him out playing guitar with "Fandango" live at the Capital theater I think 1978.
Much respect to JLT. 'Slaves and Masters' doesn't get the appreciation it should, in my opinion. He may not be to everyone's taste but he always delivered.
Fantastic vokalist. Love his voice and the Rainbow stuff. Streets of dreams.
I have Slaves and Masters on CD and I think it’s a good Deep Purple album. I get what a lot of people think it’s like Rainbow. JLT has a good voice and can write good songs. He sang on Yngwie Malmsteen’s Odyssey album and that was Yngwie’s best selling album and he was headlining.
A great singer. Highly skilled. Nice person. One of my vocal influences. In short. A Class Act.
JLT is a beautiful guy. I got to play a few charity shows with him. Amazing singer and he's a Goombah. NJ guy.
Was going to say, that is the most italian looking guy with the name Turner, lol
@@jasonpellegrino7850 Joseph Arthur Mark Linquito
Just love how so many great vocalists refer to Paul Rodgers - Free , Bad Company , The Firm , The Law , Solo Artist , Queen....etc
I met JLT one time back around 1995. It was during the NAMM show one night at the Hilton bar. We were all drunk and Yngwie was at the other end of the bar. I recall that we were heckling him and pissing him off and JLT thought it was hilarious.
One of my all times favorite Deep Purple albums
Great job, Joe!
Slave and masters and his rainbow stuff excellent in my opinion
Slaves and masters gehört zu dem besten, was Deep Purple gemacht haben.
I bought Slaves and Masters when it came out (on CD), took it home w/o looking at the cover, put it on and thought "Oh, boy, Gillan quit again!". I do miss Ian's ability to hit the high ones (we're all older!) and did then with Turner, but this album isn't too bad at all. I pull it out and listen to it sometimes and having watched this interview, I think it's time to again!
Joe always gave 110%
I got to see that line-up twice on that tour and in very many ways it was the best thay ever were. Joe could sing EVERYTHING and Ritchie was happy and played like the god we all remembered. Glover and Paicys' galactic level rhythym section. And of course the late great Jon Lord. It is sweet coincidence that I was just saying all of this a few days ago and then to come across this vid iswonderous synchronicity!
Stone Cold. So GOOD !
I was introduced to Joe Lynn by my co-pilot (callsign Salami) at Phill McConkey's place during a layover in Jersey many years back. Never met a nicer, funnier guy in my life. To say 'a good time was had by all' would be a big understatement. I was a drummer, Salami and our flight attendant were singers ... did I mention JL could sing? ... well, JL CAN SING! Phil's was rockin' that night. Love ya JL ... all the Best! Hawk ^v^
Master JLT, Slaves and Masters stands up as a remarkable milestone in the DP discography. Majestic, timeless. Forever fresh.
Uh, yeah, 😆
Pouring it on a little thick there
Slaves and Masters is highly underrated. It really is a very fresh album with directions the band never took before. It’s controversial to many, but there’s no denying that Deep Purple is a band that’s pretty much known for changing their sound. Tracks like Fire in the Basement, The Cut Runs Deep, Wicked Ways are incredible hard-hitting tracks with incredible playing by everyone. Even the more pop-based tracks are undeniable not bad and have incredible melodies. Joe always has had a voice that brings out the melody in any song tremendously and I think personally Slaves and Masters is one of the greatest albums to come out of the 90s
I'm really GLAD Joe talks about the POSITIVE things that were yielded by SLAVES AND MASTERS because even if there was politics going on in the band about the singers (With Ian leaving) the MUSIC was very POLISHED, Very TIGHT & VERY GOOD.
My favorite DP album will always be "Slaves and Masters"! You can FEEL Joe's energy in there! Huge respect!
I recently learned that I saw Turner perform before he became a major star. I saw/heard him when he was guitarist/vocalist of the New Jersey band Fandango ... his name was Joseph Linquito at the time. Forgive me if I'm letting out a bedraggled cat from the bag!
I had both Fandango albums. They were pretty good. I had the vinyl albums.
But I believe even back then he was using Joe Lynn Turner.
It's kinda funny.
I saw the Rainbow/Pat Travers co-headlining concert and Joe came out for one song with his own guitar strapped on, and started dry humping it like he was having sex with it and Ritchie left the stage as long as Joe had his own guitar on.
Ritchie didn't like it much when singers tried to upstage him.
(Whereas, when Garth Brooks was in his heyday?
He told ALL of his band members to try to upstage him every night.
Rather than feel threatened?
Garth believed that it would push him to give his best show every night so no one would be able to upstage him.)
I found it hard to watch anybody else when Ritchie was in full Ritchie Blackmore guitar wizard mode.
He has this Charismatic stage presence when he's got his Strat strapped on it's hard to even notice anyone else.
I found it rather stunning to discover that, in his very earliest days on stage, Ritchie had such stagefright that he would hide backstage and just play from the wings.
His front man at the time, Screaming Lord Sutch, would grab Ritchie's guitar by the neck and drag Ritchie out on-stage.
That's how terrified Ritchie used to be.
But seeing him live with Rainbow?
You'd never have guessed Ritchie had EVER had stage fright.
He always seemed fully in command of the stage to me.
Joe Lynn Turner is just AWESOME!!!
*Slaves And Masters* was a good album, not a great one. However, I definitely do agree that it is a major honor for Joe Lynn Turner to have been the glue that held that amazing lineup together for that one album and those couple of years. And there were some really good songs on it, especially "King Of Dreams," "The Cut Runs Deep," "Fire In The Basement," "Breakfast In Bed" and "Too Much Is Not Enough." This album only hit #87 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, failing to go Gold. It's too bad. It deserved much better.
On a side-note, I can't say I'm surprised that JLT nearly joined Foreigner. I always thought his voice sounded very much like Lou Gramm (another Italian from the East Coast), except even more powerful. This makes perfect sense considering that Ronnie James Dio left Rainbow after Richie Blackmore told him that he wanted the band to sound more like Foreigner. 🙂
Slaves and Masters great album
I read Jimi Jamison from Survivor actually had the job before Joe but his mob connected management convinced him to stay with Survivor/ and do solo stuff.......Jon Lord said of Jamison in a 1993 interview, "He was an enormous Deep Purple fan and he would happily have taken over the job. But at the time he was afraid of his managers. They didn't want him to leave [Survivor] and he didn't dare to get into a fight with them." In fact, it was Lord's record label who had just released Jamison's new album When Love Comes Down in 1991
And back in the day, the band had reached out to Paul Rodgers about his replacing Ian Gillan, and Glenn Hughes was actually brought on board with the understanding that he'd be singing with Rodgers. Things didn't pan out that way, of course, as Bad Company sprung up, and well, Purple didn't do too badly with David Coverdale. We can still wonder, though.
The biggest problem with S&M is that's it sounds more like a Rainbow album than DP album. When the word love gets mentioned a lot on songs then it's not DP.
Now if you are happy with that then it's an amazing album pound for pound.
Peace ✌️
That's my issue with Slaves and Masters. It sounds like Bent Out of Shape 2.0, and I don't want that in my Deep Purple. I love Joe Lynn Turner's voice, great singer, but I don't like him in Deep Purple.
@@ZackAttackP1 yes it was a big mistake to bring him in for Gillan replacement. He was much better off joining Foreigner.
Peace ✌️
He's a good singer, but has an elevated sense of self importance. He was a good singer in bands that had previously been fronted by great singers. JLT was no Ian Gillan, and he was no Ronnie Dio.
Yeah,I love Paul Rogers too, there is a great vid of Free live in aUK TV studio doing a bunch of songs, it's bloody great, Andy Fraser killing it on bass, Paul Rogers sings incredibly well, it's really worth watching, one of those regional English stations,
Joe's song endlessly" is an absolute masterpiece
What was JLT talking about when he said that Ian Paice made a comment that JLT was the 'glue that held them together' and DP wouldn't have done Perfect Strangers without him? Is JLT in a time warp or did he just misspeak?
Maybe he confused it with 'The Battle Rages On'. The Perfect Strangers Battle On...
I was thinking the same this lol he must have mixed it up
Thinking the same thing 😳. And I definitely could have done without Battle Rages on 🙄. But whatever 🤷🏻♂️😂
Actually, that's not that far from the truth lol. After the Rainbow album Bent Out of Shape, on which Joe sang, Ritchie decided to reunite Deep Purple Mark 2. After Slaves and Masters, on which Joe sang, Deep Purple Mark 2 had another reunion. 😎😅🍺
Yeah I was pretty befuddled too when he said that lol
I'm pretty sure if slaves and masters had been called a rainbow album there'd be very little hate for it. As a deep purple album, I get it, even if it's not that fair; but imagine what the perception would be as a Blackmore/Turner reunion for rainbow instead of a replacement singer for purple
One way of looking at it is: There is only one different member from the classic mk II lineup.
@@MuttleyVonErich00 JLT yep, but as already said as a Rainbow release it would not have gotten the bad press,.
There were 3 Rainbow and 2 former Whitesnake members in the band....🤓😂😂😂😂
@@martinkasper197 right? Like at this point deep purple, the first of them all, was the super group
@@martinkasper197 That's right, later Whitesnake, it was starting to get like a game of musical l chairs.
I had S&M on cassette back in the day. Think they should have called it a Rainbow album instead of DP IMO.
JLT may have held DP together between "House of Blue Light" and "Battle Rages On", but "Perfect Strangers" (and "House of Blue Light") were already released BEFORE he joined up. He has his timeline a little wrong.
One of rock' heavy metal greatest singers ever periodical
I love every single Deep Purple studio album. They are all magnificent beasts in their own right. The band's original name was Roundabout. People get on & people get off, but the Roundabout keeps on going round & around...
I'll be the roundabout,
The words will make you out and out.
@@MrLtia1234 That kind of makes sense, those words that you say, delivered as prose, in a roundabout way....
I get shit for it but Slaves and Masters is the only DP album I like start to finish. Sure, none of DP's top 6-8 songs are on it, but there isn't a bad track on there. JLT does quality work even his solo works.
❤Джо,к сожедению не знаю английский...но ты мой кумир!!!! в моей коллекции почти все твои адьбомы .приезжай с концертом в гТулу!!!!!
5:00 Ritchie: My way or I'm gone. 3 years later he was ...
Ans Deep Purple has been in harmony ever since
For me, its more his attitude, authenticity and GSOHthat makes bim great, not just his voice. His personality is what i most enjoy
Hey Joe....it's Joe....The Jingle Queen (smiling here)... Hope all is good brother......
Slave's and Master's is an great album. I care less what people say and I'm glad you went to them and the cut runs deep is an all time favorite on that album. Sound's like you used your little bag of trick's like Ritchie say's
With the lyrics on that one too
🎯👊💯
Slave's? Master's? trick's? say's? S'eriously?
Love JLT my fav singer of that genre
Why is "Vintage Rock Pod" blurred out in the intro?
Can't Happen Here is my track with this guy. Don't know who wrote it probably the bassist from Rainbow? Maybe someone can elucidate me? 😮
Blackmore / Glover.
The filler track…?
@@HiruS22 The best track.
He's right about Paul Rodgers.
At first glance JLT looks like Jean Claude Van Damme in a wig.
King of Dreams
Nothing against JLT personally, fine singer, but, everything he touches he turns into pop rock. Rainbow, Yngwie and Purple. So I wasn't surprised when he said that his favorite song from "Perfect Strangers" was "Knocking at Your Back Door!"
The problem he had were that firstly, he couldn't sing the classics. Totally butchered them. Secondly, even Ritchie mentioned that Joe was trying to change Purple to be morelike Aerosmith and their ilk at the time. It was like :tehy are doing this and so should we". He was always going to be an outsider. Great lyricist tho. Great ballad and pop singer but notstrong enough to be a consistant rock singer. His style fitted Rainbow's direction at the time perfectly.
Finally, there is also a reason why he was never considered for the latest Rainbow reunion. Apparently he was talking to people and setting up deals. Rainbow is Blackmore's love child. And in case he didn't notice over the years, Ritchie does things his way.
Unfortunately Blackmore's way turned out to be extremely dull and not even close to any of the past lineups of Rainbow. I don't necessarily think he should have gotten JLT or even Bonnet but he could have gotten players who were at least up to par . Cozy , Daisley , Glover , Bain these are top hands and no pick up band has any business pretending to be Rainbow, no matter what Ritchie calls it
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 Cozy Powell passed away in 1998 long before Ritchie's re configuration of Rainbow in 2016.
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 perhaps. But it was his band and he could do what he liked in terms of personell... For better or worse.
@Simon England I am only going by past interviews. Joe tried to change DP into an American rock band. Lord, Paice and Glover did not. They were a British rock band and stayed that way after Blackmore left. That's why in my opinion the albums that came after all have that dated Gillan Glover sound.
Even Ritchie implied he got sick of Joe trying to copy other bands.
Given his actions with purple and his plans for a Rainbow reunion "extravaganza", I get the impression that he was more interested in cashing in. But that's my opinion.
Ritchie hates the industry. According to Colin Hart, Rainbow with JLT got as big as Ritchie wanted it to be and I guess his latest reformation was deliberately low key and small for a reason. No fuss, just a bit of fun for the fans.
There's another story that he and Coverdale were looking to do something after Jon's death, but then managers got involved and it became complicated. That's how he rolls. The proof for mine is in the pudding where Joe did not go on to have the success he craved. Joe needed Ritchie and Purple more than they needed him.
@Simon England correct. He asked him to join him, David declined. I think that was the beginning of the antagonism between the two. Ritchie was pissed.
Joe used the same glue he uses on his rug to hold them together, sometimes he uses double sided tape
Nice, you make fun of his alopecia totalis. You must enjoy making fun of other's imperfections...
@@jamesedwards2237 no that he has no control over but wearing a stupid wig he does so I’m making fun of how insecure he is and how much he looks like an idiot with that thing on his head
Joes most recent album is fantastic
The Sessions? Or Belly of the Beast. Both are pretty good vocals.
@@jamesedwards2237 I heard Belly of the Beast
As a lifelong Purple fan and someone who gave every MK lineup a chance, to me 'Slaves & Masters' was easily one of their worst records. It hardly even sounded like Purple and more like a mid 80's Journey record, primarily due to the production sound. No idea whose idea it was to make it sound like that but even for 1990 it sounded very outdated, so grunge had nothing to do with its lack of success. In comparison, the following 'The Battle Rages On' sounded like a return to form, both production and songwriting-wise.
I hated that album. I won't even put it on the shelf with the rest of my Purple collection. My brother and I call it Mistakes and Disasters.
But if you think that was bad, check out a B-side from that era called "Fire, Ice and Dynamite". It difficult to imagine a song that wasn't good enough to be on that album but this one holds that distinction.
@@ericcampbell6370 Totally agree
I don't like Slaves and Masters, but has to be said I also don't like the muddy production on TBRO. Roger called it a serious cut and paste job to turn it into an album. Couple of good songs, but meh. Much better when they went back to what they do best with Morse - Purpendicular is a great album.
I still remember buying it without even looking at the cover, getting it home, putting it on the turntable, and saying "WTH?!" when I heard a familiar voice that wasn't Ian Gillan. Lots of folks love this album, that's fine by me, but for my tastes, it was "Rainbow with Jon Lord and Ian Paice." "King of Dreams" and "The Cut Runs Deep" were the ones that caught my ear, and while I enjoyed "Fire in the Basement", it rather reminded me of an attempt at updating "Lazy". The rest of the album sounded like leftover material for a post-"Bent Out of Shape" release.
Now, where I'll give JLT some props is that I did see the band on the tour. When *Winger* left the stage, half the place emptied out, and I realized that we were in trouble. The opening, "Burn", was a rather nice surprise, and frankly, JLT looked pretty comfortable with the band -- after all, he'd played alongside two of 'em for some time! -- and thought he did justice to the material, including a really nice version of "Truth Hurts." The other bonuses were bits of "Hey Joe", "Hush", and even "Child in Time" in the middle of "The Cut Runs Deep" (if my poor memory serves after three decades).
@@ericcampbell6370 Im actually really digging this tune. Need to find where I can buy it
I think it's a bit mixed up, but maybe Joe means he kept Blackmore glued to rock (with Rainbow), until the Perfect Strangers reunion in 1984.
We know that Ritchie was drawn to another kind of music, & that he eventually went for it with Candice Night in Blackmore's Night in 1997, after that reactivated (& short lived), Rainbow album & tour. Of course he did his best with DP until Gillan came back. Puts me in mind of Joey Cherone in Van Halen. 😐
*Oops, my bad... obviously that's Gary Cherone.
I assumed he got the album title wrong and meant The Battle Rages On- which would make more sense. If Ritchie had bailed with just the three of them left in the band, they likely wouldn't have continued.
@@MrLtia1234 you may certainly be correct, however, this one wasn't the first interview in which JLT has said much the same thing. He's not an idiot, he knows what he means. Maybe we the viewers are missing something here... Perhaps it's better to keep an open mind until something a little more substantial comes to light. 🤔 😐
@blackwoodrichmore4531 - Joey Cherone, eh? How’s ol’ Joey doin’ deez daze?
@@crusheverything4449 Oops!. Gary...

@@blackwoodrichmore4531 - Cerebral flatulence. Happens to the best of us, man! 😆
No disrespect to JLT as i love his work with Rainbow but DP was not for him.
Yeah the foreigner gig would have been the right gig for him..Deep Purple not so much
Slaves and Masters was great!!
@@SuperLuckao scary 😨 lol
Yes it was. He freshened it up big time. DP songs all sounded the same until he came along. Rainbow was far better with him too. He has special energy and groove.
Slaves&Masters is DeepPurple more pleasant album for me ! I'm an AOR bitch afterall :)
I like that S&M album of DP it’s pretty damn overlooked IMO
I do feel bad cos this man is a talent and seems to be a very nice guy, but the Deep Purple and Rainbow albums I love are the ones fronted by Gillan and Dio respectively. So in comparison, there's a sheen to the albums he made that with those bands that I don't quite like. Maybe unfair but also inevitable that he'd have to face that.
I absolutely love the Street of Dreams album. I saw them on that tour, opening for Blue Oyster Cult at the Long Beach Arena.
rock star wigs. good name for a band.
..talent
I really like what JLT did with DP on S&M. I still listen to this album/CD today, still holds up very well. I do like all DP line-ups with respect and I love Ian Gillans work with DP too. However, imho, I feel JLT did a much better job filling in for DP on S&M then Ian Gillan did with the follow up album, The Battle Rages On. My understanding is Ritchie was the only one who wanted JLT on S&M. So when The Battle Rages On, was in the works, Ritchie was the only one still wanting JLT rather than Ian Gillan. Still respecting all the other members of DP, I have to side with Ritchie on this one. But thats just my opinion.
Wig is back ?
Poor wig should have run and hid away somewhere.
Slaves & Masters doesn’t work for me, not because of JLT. It was because of Ritchie’s heavy hand and the band didn’t sound very inspired. As far as I’m concerned, it really doesn’t sound much like them, save for a few Blackmore licks. King of Dreams is good. As far as I’m concerned, I believe the band was tired of Ritchie being the driving force and he was starting to become fed up with playing hard rock. In my humble opinion, JLT was the least of Slaves & Masters problems. Oddly enough, this lineup did sound great live.
Cut runs Deep
It works as a AOR Rainbow album similar feel to the albums he made with them, but was not a Deep Purple album,, only think that made it so was having Ian Paice and Jon Lord.
Without the hair and the makeup, he looks like my dad who is a spritely 78 years old 🙂
Um, with the greatest respect for Mr T’s recollections: Perfect Strangers was 6-years before he was in the band so how could he have influenced its making? And what followed S&Ms was The Battle Rages On and Blackmore bailed shortly thereafter, so he can hardly take credit for keeping the band together. Yes, I know he claims Paice said it. Again with respect, every time you hear an interview with him it’s all about the implication that he was so great and saved or made the original bands better. He frequently says things like Rainbow “… had all the hits …” while he was in the band, when, if you check Billboard, they had one single that hit 40 on the charts,. Hardly big hits. The same with S&Ms, he has claimed he brought the relevance back to DP, when album sales, and popular opinion, suggest otherwise. Good luck to him, but his attempts to elevate himself by comparing himself favourably to his contemporaries always comes across as bitter, not to mention factually inaccurate. Ronnie James Dio was Rainbow, and Gillan, and to a lesser extent Coverdale/Hughes, were DP.
There s a demo on yt where "Rainbow" is working on an idea that wasnt completely evolved but later became the SONG Perfect Strangers. The Paicey comment is weird and does not help his credibility. At best he meant TBRO. I dont know, th-cam.com/video/utXgiReGYsk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DPBootlegsAndRare
@@jonblackers4339 Thanks for that Jon. 👍 I’m sure it’s true that Blackmore carried over riffs and ideas into Rainbow from Purple and vice Versa, but how JLT could believe he was the catalyst or responsible for that, I don’t know. I think Joe is a good singer, not RJD, Gillan, Coverdale, and certainly not Hughes, but he, if I may use the term, seems to passively-aggressively try to raise himself by suggesting that he is better. That’s what irks me and puts me off. Anyway, thanks again, mate, and have a great rest of your week.
I caught that... JLT is such a tool. Can't stand the guy.
If you actually listen to what JLT says, you will hear that it was Ian Paice who said the JLT helped to keep the band together. The band that would last AFTER Blackmore left... So, he thanks Ian for such words... You must understand the point before commenting. It's a sensible approach.
@@eden6605 Hello Eden, thank you for your comment, and if you actually read what I wrote you will see I acknowledged that, but it was his comment about how he influenced Perfect Strangers et al, that I stated was erroneous. Which is to say, he was taking a, perhaps apocryphal, statement by Ian to seemingly elevate himself in importance to the band. And as I also pointed out, it’s unfortunately a pattern he often follows, so it wasn’t a one-off and to be taken as something out of context. A little humility will get you further than passively-aggressively boasting. Have a lovely weekend when it arrives for you, Eden.
He painted a different picture in past interviews lol.
Didn't have an easy time with DP.
He’s was too soft for Purple! Also he’s no Lou Gram never could fill that spot either.
He was hired for Rainbow as a Lou Gramm sound-alike. But agreed - not as good as the real thing.
Master and slaves was a great album
But was more a Rainbow album
Slaves and Masters is my 3rd favourite Purple album behind Machine Head and Burn!
Interesting mash up of New Joisey and English accents
Joes memory is a bit wrong. Perfect Strangers came out before Slaves And Masters.
Was this made before Pharoah Joe embraced full chromedomia?
I thought that he'd ditched the wig 🤔
He did but it crawled back onto his head.
He can wear it any time he lukes. Its his head
JLT is an Arena Rock singer, not DP. Slaves and Masters might be ok, for a normal band, but not DP.
I thought he wasn’t wearing his wig anymore? I realize he is basically hairless, with alopecia totalis.
Maybe it’s an older interview
He looks better in it, so what
IG was the best
Did he play Moscow after the invasion of Ukraine?
Slaves and Masters wasn't the worst... The cut runs deep actually sounded like Deep Purple with a different singer...although I I have to admit, some of the commercial stuff wasn't that good. The Battle Rages On... shows that Ritchie Blackmore was just playing with the band. A good album but, you could tell things were starting to fall apart. House of blue lights was good but, you could tell internal things were going on with the band.
He didn't ditch the wig for long 😮
I can't help but feel sorry for this guy. He's clearly trapped by his very visible narcissism and unwilling to admit that his time in DP was an utter failure. He's taking so much credit based on one friendly remark of Ian Paice.
Does Barry Manilow know you borrowed his face?
Ritchie says Joe was the best singer Rainbow ever had.
After Dio and Bonnett he was.

I absolutely love Perfect strangers, it may be my favourite purple album and then i got House of the blue light when it came out and its probably one of the worst
Even though HoBL is too much change for some tastes, I still consider it a very good and underappreciated effort.
The track Strangeways on House of BL is great fun - if not exactly DP - to be honest, like a lot of 70s bands, their heyday was the 70s !
Is he back to wearing a wig?
Looks like an old lady…
I thought they wee called Peep Durple, not Deep Purple thats' embarrassing
Joe is certainly Joe's biggest fan, and Rainbow's worst vocalist......so glad he wasn't included in the reunion a few years ago
No one loves JLT like JLT loves JLT.
I love JLT. He was awesome in rainbow. Fat better than Dio. Fresh and energetic. Not dull luke Romero who can't cone up with a song of his own. How dare he cover JLT
Joe Lynn Turner was always a Lou Gramm imitator. When Blackmore took him into Rainbow most original fans just left. I saw him singing for Deep Purple that one tour and people were screaming for Ian Gillan. Slaves and Masters was probably the best album Rainbow never did. That album was not Deep Purple.
Slaves and Masters is better than the Battle Rages On.
I thought Joe had decided to ditch the hairpiece recently? Still over-promoting himself though, even after all these years.
Totally threw me off, too!!! He doesn’t know what the hell he is doing these days anyway!!!! He was great at the Garden in ‘82 when I Saw the Scorps open. I really had a Blackout baby……!!!
New, live and hair?
@@MrLtia1234 Good one!
Joleen has got to be the biggest sycophant ever - without Ritchie Blackmore he would be a complete nobody.
He could never get anywhere near to filling the shoes of Paul Rodgers
Pathetic
