Who do you think is the best choice or fits in the band perfectly. Yes, Joe Satriani was a member for a little while but didn´t record an album with them.
I enjoyed some of Purpendicular with Morse, but after that I find his style just lacks something, so my vote goes to Ritchie B.

I really have a problem with anyone else than Blackmore or Morse >> Blackmorse
That Bolin album is awful (no matter how good a guitarist Bolin was)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Blackmore is the ultimative guiitarist for Purple. Steve Morse is great,but fits the band's less perfectly. From the personal side Steve Morse is the better choice.

Is this a joke? Ritchie Blackmore IS Deep Purple.

Ritchie, no doubt about it. Morse is great, but he's not the Man in Black...

I agree with you guys, Morse is a great guitarist but Blackmore is Blackmore.

I'm going to buck the trend and say Morse.

Blackmore is a legend while Morse is an ACTIVE legend. So there, I'd say Morse.

Blackmore. Without him there wouldn't have been a Deep Purple.

Purpendicular is a remarkable album ... but Blackmore is THE Deep Purple guitarist.

Only Ritchie Blackmore. Deep Purple without R.B. is like Led Zeppelin without Jimmy Page. I know that other guitarists of DP are very good, but... only Ritchie!

Blackmore is the guitarist, with whom they made their best works, so my
vote goes to him. Two years ago I attended a great show of them with
Stevie Morse and it was great too... But even then, the best moments
were when he was playing old Blackmore pieces (which he made great).

I saw them live during the Pistoia Blues Festival a few years ago, i was really impressed, especially for Gillan's performance (he has still a splendid voice). Steve Morse is an excellent guitarist but Blackmore is Blackmore!!!

Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists ever
Morse is great, I even like Morse era more than Blackmore from Perfect Strangers - Battle Rages On.
Slaves and Masters and BRO are VERY weak albums
Bolin is good also, but he only played on one album (and I love Come Taste The Band!)

 - harsh!!
I loved 'Come Taste The Band' to be fair, and Bolin's playing was so excellent that he carved out his own identity- he put far more effort in than Blackmore's lacklustre show on 'Stormbringer'.
Yet, it's hard to separate Deep Purple from Ritchie Blackmore- he will always be their pivotal guitarist for me. No matter how good Steve Morse is or Tommy Bolin was, they'll never match Blackmore in the context of the band.
