Some lively playing on the album, though. All four of them eventually is incredibly displeased with Turner, and realizes he doensn't fit in the band. They fire him, and Blackmore is eventually forced to take back Ian Gillan, at the others' insistance. Thus we get the last album with the Mk II lineup, not a new Fireball, but it does have something that were lacking on the previous reunion efforts. Joe Satriani steps in as his replacement on short notice, and lasts not only through the Japanese tour, but stays for a full blown European tour during the summer of 1994.
Contractural problems seem to prevent any further collaboration, though.
So far the only Deep Purple lineup that hasn't recorded studio material. Thus, today Deep Purple's guitarist is Steve Morse. Here is a link to the official and very good Deep Purple Homepages.
