Your history with Deep Purple
Influences
In Guitar Player in 1979 Eddie says:
It's funny. There's two types of guitarists. Like Blackmore, I used to hate, because I met him once at
the Rainbow with John Bonham when we were just playing clubs. You know, I grew up on him too, and I ran
over and said hello, and they both just looked at me and said, "Who are you? Fuck off." And it pissed me
off. And to this day I remember that. And then just recently Rainbow played at Long Beach Arena. This is
right after I won Best Guitarist [in the Guitar Player Reader's Poll], which I'm real honoured - makes
me feel good. I went down there, in a way, with a vengeance, you know. I just felt like saying, "Hey,
motherfucker, remember me? About three years ago, when you treated me like shit?" But I didn't. I just
said hello, and he knew me just through records and radio, and he complimented me.
