Doogie White If you don't have a metal heart you are not my friend Well, I think it was a memorable night yesterday, Sunday October 16th, after a very long while we finally had a chatnight again in the Rainbow Fanclan Chatroom. The last time we had a chatnight was last March, Rob Fodder was the special guest back then. By the way he was present this time as well. This time non other than Doogie White was our special guest. I (admin) was too busy on the background checking if everything kept working fine and answering many questions in private chatboxes people started. Still it was good fun to follow the chat and see the chatroom wasn't brought down by too many visitors. There were 29 people together at once on a certain moment in the chatroom. Not everyone started asking questions. Lucky for Doogie. Because sometimes people were firing questions pretty heavily. Doogie could have sore fingers for the rest of the week. I also found out that Firefox just kicks you out of the chatroom after a while. But as I also had the chatroom logfile running in Internet Explorer on my laptop, I lost nothing of the transcription. My laptop with Internet Explorer was on for 12 hours without crashing once. Funny to see in the log people entering and leaving the chatroom all the time during the day. Also the few discussions from people doubting if Doogie himself indeed was going to show up. Well, he announced it himself on his own website as well on Saturday. If someone still doubted it was indeed Doogie, then jcsfromagawammausa might have taken that doubt away with his question (and a very funny answer of Doogie). Too bad for some people who miscalculated the times and showed up too late to catch Doogie. The plan is to do from now on every month a chatsession, although there won't be always a special guest. I think the best way might be to pick a full day each month for the chat. This way also people from other parts of the world in a different timezone could join in. And everyone could pick out the time that suits them best. Either if it's morning, afternoon, evening or night. You can discuss this in the Forum. Allright, here is the transcription of the chatsession with Doogie, who logged in as [Douglast]. All his answers are coloured blue. [Temple of the King] is the name of the chatroom. And all the people entering and leaving the chatroom are edited out of the logfile, unless it added something to the chat itself. [englishrob] 7:50 pm: hello room [Blackmore's Guitar] 7:50 pm: hey englishrob, hows it been [englishrob]7:50 pm: good thanks [Blackmore's Guitar] 7:51 pm: you should also be invited to do a chat rob, you have many insight there too [englishrob] 7:51 pm: i've already done one [Blackmore's Guitar] 7:51 pm: oh crap, i missed it, lol!

[cj_pesch] 8:10 pm: So, will we have a chance to welcome you on our soil? [betty swollocks] 8:10 pm: Doogie, I had a good idea, I thought to celebrate 30 years of Rainbow and 60 years of Blackmore, a one off gig involving all the former members or Rainbow. Somewhere like the Royal Albert Hall, I'm sure it would sell out and it could be recorded for DVD release. Is that something you would be keen to participate in, and if it is could you convey this th the man in black. [Douglast] 8:10 pm: I always listen to anything people give me if I like it I make a note but I try not to get personally involved in that side of things as I have a lot going on and dont have time to review people work for them as my typing is very slow [cj_pesch] 8:11 pm: do you still keep in touch with blackmore, by the way? [Den Joey] 8:11 pm: Doogie are one op the best metal singer and i see you 2 times with Rainbow in Brussels and Vosselaar [Douglast] 8:12 pm: Regarding the Rainbow idea at the albert hall I cant imagine Ritchie being interested and we dont speak anymore so I cant pass the message on try Carole Stevens [_HighVoltage_] 8:12 pm: yeha about thata metal thing - how do you estimate you style Hard Rock or Heavy Metal? A lot of people are arguing about that. [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:12 pm: doogie, which to you are the best bootlegs, performanc-wise of your era rainbow? [hank williams] 8:12 pm: Joey good idea, you got Brussels on VHS haven't you? [pauldrax] 8:13 pm: I'll ask her on Tuesday [englishrob] 8:13 pm: try her for what? impersonating a manager? try her for what? impersonating a manager? [stratfire] 8:13 pm: Doogie, well if you ever hold auditions for Doogie White's Rainbow Force Stone, be sure to include an address on your webpage where interested guitarists can send their demo [Den Joey] 8:14 pm: hank yes the Rainbow ,Brussels 1995 i have this on video and i makin this soon on dvd.........Vosselaar i have also 10 minutes if i can remember [cj_pesch] 8:14 pm: did Carole, by the way, inrude Rainbow manegement? and did you have any problems in you relationships with her?

[_HighVoltage_] 8:15 pm: hey guys slow down a bit - that's a lot of questions for one person to answer [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:16 pm: yes, one by one sweet people [Douglast] 8:16 pm: I have a few bootlegs from the Rainbow days but I dont listen to them I intend buying a house with a porch so I can relax with my pipe and rocking chair and maybe then I will listen [_HighVoltage_] 8:16 pm: Blackmore's Guitar had a really nice idea [Douglast] 8:16 pm: Is this better [Doogie changed to another writing colour, Ed] [_HighVoltage_] 8:17 pm: let's all shut up and leave Blackmore's night ask questions to Doogie - the guy has made a list [menza] 8:17 pm: much [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:17 pm: thnx douglas for the answer and yes the color is nice lol! [_HighVoltage_] 8:17 pm: geez i wanted to say Blackmore's Guitar [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:17 pm: lol highvoltage, heheh [betty swollocks] 8:17 pm: Carole Stevens! is she that lovely lady who completely dominates Ritchies life, tells him who he can speak to and generally makes a misery of anyones who wants to hear Ritchie make some rock music again. Is that the Carole Stevens you mean!!!! [cj_pesch] 8:18 pm: and where to you intend to buy a house? something like a villa in France?)) [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:19 pm: carole isnt that awful actually, i met her once and she is doing her job [joey] 8:19 pm: Hé Doogie if you will the concert from you and Raibow from Brussels,Forest national i give the dvd to Hank Williams and he sent to you [_HighVoltage_] 8:19 pm: Doogie have you heard that Joe Lynn is probably going to do a new version of Street Of Dreams with Blackmore's NIght? If this happens, and Ritchie decides to do more songs like that and if he invite you to do a song together, will you agree? [Frank] 8:20 pm: I saw Ritchie a year ago with Blackmore's Night, the show was awesome! For the first time with Blackmore's Night ever he played old DP songs, His wife didn't exactly like it, but I saw him shining again when he played them, he really got into it! So let's hope he still has something to say! [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:20 pm: check http://www.doogiewhite.com/ for more [Douglast] 8:20 pm: I think Ritchie will probably put Rainbow back together with JLT and that is what is going on [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:20 pm: no way!! [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:20 pm: it could be [hank williams] 8:20 pm: I'm off , don't like this, DOOGIE! have fun in the States and come back soon for the new CS recorddeal and new 2006 album!! hank!!!!

[Frank] 8:22 pm: haha, yes as far as BN songs, the show kind of tempered me, but the end with DP...was awesome, something really much better!! [weissheim] 8:22 pm: Any chance of further collaborations with the Mostly Autumn boys? [Douglast] 8:22 pm: Everybodys gon white now I am confused [Doogie talks about the writing colour, Ed] [betty swollocks] 8:22 pm: You performed with Graham Bonnet about 2 years ago at a blues festival. The way he sings tends to polarise peoples opinion, they either love his singing or think it is over the top, which camp to you fall in? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:22 pm: am i white too? [MobRules] 8:22 pm: Hi Doug, what was the best gig you ever attended, and why? And what was the best gig you ever played, and why? [Douglast] 8:23 pm: Mostly Autumn I dont think so that was a DVD company idea and a bit of fun I tried to get CS to do it but the DVD co would not have it probably just as well as the DVD sucks [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:23 pm: lets sing a drinking song to get rid of the confusion! [stratfire] 8:23 pm: Joe is singing great lately, I'd travel to see that Rainbow for sure, but i have a feeling Ritchie may not play in a rock band again, his new stuff is very good, and at least he's not a Keith Richards - playing the same 4 notes badly for 76 years [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:23 pm: driiiinkiing is our oooonly lovvveee [Douglast] 8:24 pm: Let me recharge my galss [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:24 pm: tellemore dew tellemore dew we all love tellemore dew [MobRules] 8:25 pm: Doug, what was the best gig you ever attended, and why? And what was the best gig you ever played, and why? [Douglast] 8:25 pm: I have seen so many gigs and played so many gigs it is hard to pick one [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:25 pm: i hope he said glass not galls [Douglast] 8:25 pm: Some times I get my wuckin furds mumbled [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:25 pm: doogie, is rainbow eyes the first song you played with ritchie? [Douglast] 8:25 pm: Yes [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:26 pm: was that recorded? [Douglast] 8:26 pm: No [perfectstranger] 8:26 pm: Doogie, on your website you said that you where glad tot have joined Rainbow en hoped that people enjoyed the work you did. Well, I still have a video-tape of a 1995 show in Germany and I play and enjoy it a lot. It seems to me that there was great pleasure on stage, in a relaxed atmosphere. So very spontaneous. Is that impression correct? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:26 pm: i only have 1 bootleg where you do it but ritchie cant remeber the chords [menza] 8:26 pm: Doogie, I heard you wanted to play Kill The King back in '95 but Ritchie just told you to forget it.. Is that true and if it is, can you tell some details on why you weren't allowed to play the song? [cj_pesch] 8:26 pm: did you rehearse any songs with rainbow that finally appeared on any of blackmore's night albums? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:26 pm: and then you bust out in laughter, lol! [Douglast] 8:27 pm: With the Rockpalast show it was the 5th show and we were still finding our legs but we got better but it is a fairly good representation of the band [barney] 8:27 pm: Hi Doogie have you any plans to include your brother Ian in any of your own solo projects [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:27 pm: doogie i sat next to you in a pub before ashow in providence rhode island usa and then you slayed us at the show you're awesome [MobRules] 8:28 pm: Doug, what was the best gig you ever attended, and why? And what was the best gig you ever played, and why? [_HighVoltage_] 8:28 pm: so Doogie if it's not a secret are there any studio out-takes form the Starnger In Us All [betty swollocks] 8:28 pm: The reason I asked the Graham Bonnet question was because I read that when you were in Rainbow you did not cover the Down to Earth tracks because the vocals too much, is that true [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:28 pm: indeed [_HighVoltage_] 8:28 pm: we know about the Emotional Crime the Japan bonus track but are there anymore else? [Douglast] 8:28 pm: I know who you are you thought I was the roadie and I said I was [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:28 pm: lol! [cj_pesch] 8:29 pm: could you tell us what was the REAL reason of replacing JOHN O.REILLY? [Leon] 8:29 pm: Hi Doug, do you remember me? Me and my friends spoke with you at Graspop this year, right after the Maiden gig. you said that I had a nice haircut and you just was the victim of somebody who puked over your pants. [Douglast] 8:29 pm: Ther is only one song uncompleted called Pagan Love song which we wrote and recorded but never finished [stratfire] 8:29 pm: Bonnet has a hard time singing Bonnet Live, studio is fine [_HighVoltage_] 8:29 pm: haha [_HighVoltage_] 8:30 pm: Pagan Love interesting Now everybody's gonna look for this song [Douglast] 8:30 pm: Ritchie wanted a different drummer other than John [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:30 pm: how did that one sound like? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:31 pm: the last drummer mitchely (spelling?) was awesome [Douglast] 8:31 pm: Pagan you will not find it was never finished or mixed it is not in the public arena it was Rich cheese salad Ritchies ballad geddit [markus] 8:31 pm: Hi Doogie, how was the touring with Ritchie Blackmore. Some people say that he is a difficult person! Is he really?? [Douglast] 8:31 pm: Micelli rocked [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:32 pm: rich cheese [stratfire] 8:32 pm: Doogie, i noticed Yngwie lost a lot of weight, was he drinking like A Keg A Day on the Attack tour? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:32 pm: he was playing in the hard old powell tradition wasnt he [cj_pesch] 8:32 pm: and I heard that some problems appeared with Chuck Burgi and he was replacad by some other drummer later on. Is that so? [Douglast] 8:32 pm: I had no problems with Ritchie We worked well togethr till we didnt [_HighVoltage_] 8:32 pm: yes but we've already found an early Rainbow demo of Purple's Perfect Strangers So we might find something...sometime [Douglast] 8:32 pm: Yngwie does not drink and is getting fitter all the time [perfectstranger] 8:32 pm: which song of Rainbow or DP you like most playing? [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:33 pm: right highvoltage, good point [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:33 pm: i noticed you are a member of the DP forum, would you consider joining our more peaceful forum too ? [_HighVoltage_] 8:33 pm: Doogie was Ritchie jealous when you were making the Ariel clip, when you were dancing with Candice? [Douglast] 8:33 pm: Well is Pagan come out it can only be fro TMIB or Pat Regan [englishrob] 8:33 pm: there were no problems with Chuck, he got a lucrative offer to tour with Enrique Inglesias [menza] 8:34 pm: Doogie, I think many of uswould have wanted to hear Kill The King in the 1990s. What was the reason you didn't play it? [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:34 pm: since somebody mentioned malmsteen will you make cornerstone eventually your main focus or be a gun for hire [stratfire] 8:34 pm: excellent on the fitness [Douglast] 8:35 pm: I dont think Ritchie was jealous of me dancing with Candy It was all proffesionally done and 6 burly minders keep a strict eye on us [_HighVoltage_] 8:35 pm: hahahahahah [markus] 8:36 pm: Why don't exist an Live-CD from the "Stranger-Tour"? [Douglast] 8:36 pm: Well the CS stuff works well and the YJM stuff works well and I have room for both so I will continue to do both and more as and when I want [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:36 pm: doogie, as a guitarist this is important for me,did blackmore use his signature engl amps or the savage 120s, because on a video bootleg of palo alto in 1997 i clearly see savage 120s with a sovereign, no signature blackmore which was released in 1996? [Zito] 8:37 pm: sorry for repeting the same questions, but which bands have you been listening lately, and which singers you like to listen nowadays. [Douglast] 8:37 pm: If it was the savage or not I dont know I was bummed it was not a big wall of Marshalls [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:37 pm: ok, thnx [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:37 pm: keep us all informed you have the best voice i've ever heard [stratfire] 8:38 pm: Doogie, i've always been intrigued by the "Deep Tradtion" of recording in old abandoned villas and so on. Was Stranger In Us All recorded in an unconventional surrounding as well? If so, What was that like? [englishrob] 8:38 pm: i think it was just the savage [Douglast] 8:38 pm: The Storys, a Welsh band in the style of Crosby Still Nash Nsd Young and the Eagles. Great singing and harmonies. Fused with GH and TI plus Masterplan [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:38 pm: thnx rob, thats what i thought [Frank] 8:39 pm: Doogie, what do you think of Yngwie's unusual interest to play with mostly unknown Swedish musicians? It does create a great opportunity for them doen's it? [jcsfromagawammausa] 8:39 pm: it was in brookfield ma. usa 40 miles from me and i had to buy the cd from germany go figure [Douglast] 8:39 pm: SIUA was recoreded in North Brook field at a studio built in a barn in the coldest place I have ever been [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:39 pm: lol [Zito] 8:40 pm: good that you mentioned Masterplan, it is my favoutire band nowadays, Jorn Lande is a really powerfull singer, like you are [_HighVoltage_] 8:40 pm: Doogie if I'm not mistaken you did the Nostradamus rock opera with the bulgarian guitarist Nikolo Kotzev. Do you still hear from him? Do you have any plans to work again with him? [Douglast] 8:40 pm: Well some of the best mucicians come from Sweden coz they have nothing to do but drink and play music for 8 months of the year [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:40 pm: same in holland [Frank] 8:40 pm: same here in holland yea [Douglast] 8:41 pm: I spoke with Nik last week. We have no plans to work together at the moment [Blackmore's Guitar] 8:41 pm: he is a solid guitarist [cj_pesch] 8:41 pm: Doggie, why don't you participate in numerous tribute albums which are released by Bob Kulick and co? I mean, if there'a one released, you can be shure that there are JLT , Glenn Hughes and lots of other chaps there. But I've never seen you participating in one.

We can hardly get a gig every month with metal interest!! [Douglast] 8:42 pm: Bob is in the uS I have done more than my faishare of tributes in the UK [_HighVoltage_] 8:42 pm: stop this metal thing.
