Ian Paice, Deep Purple: "I really didn't want to be doing anything else…"

Author: Craig Garber October 9, 2020 Duration: 58:28

On this Ian Paice Interview, how Deep Purple started and an early advantage they had, playing with Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, Gary Moore...  how Gary Moore inadvertently painted himself into a musical corner he couldn't get out of… playing in Jakarta with Tommy Bolin, smuggling Ritchie Blackmore out of California Jam in a helicopter so he wouldn't be arrested by the Sheriff... why the band members all needed oxygen bottles for their Bolivia gig… warm thoughts on being a parent & of his own parents, a few Deep Purple songs where he thought he "nailed it!" (None of them are what you're thinking!)... how he's changed over the last few years, THE most important business lesson he's learned in more than 50 years of performance. TONS more. VERY candid, very kind, total professional!

Ian Paice is the drummer and last remaining original member of Deep Purple still active in the band today. Ian founded Deep Purple with singer Rod Evans & guitarist Richie Blackmore, in March 1968. Ian's also played & toured with Whitesnake, Gary Moore, Paice Ashton Lord, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & others. Ian co-wrote many of DP's classic tracks, including Child in Time, Highway Star, Lazy, Smoke on the Water, Woman from Tokyo and others. He's also a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
