Best Rock voices

And: Why did he never have the guts to actually get three or four black cats in a band and tour with them doing something akin to Mothers Finest? Funk rock is his true love in music, he keeps coming back to it, but too often only half-assed. He is so heavily influenced by black artists in his singing (Stevie Wonder!) and bass playing (Jamerson!, Graham!), yet ironically the only time he really played with them was when he auditioned as singer for Earth, Wind & Fire (and did not dare join them in the end).

Ask him why he played the Ric with Purple initially and then went back to the P-Bass. And whether the project with Gibson building him a signature model is still on. They should call it the "Gibson Stormbringer", alternatively, the "Gibson Medusa" bass!!!

I remember reading somewhere where he said he used the Rick because it was what Roger Glover was using at the time and he wanted to preserve that sound. Glover's Rick was far from stock, though...
