Biography

edit

The early years

edit

Born in Nottingham before moving south in early childhood, Paice got his first drum kit at 15. He began his professional career in the early 1960s playing drums in his father's dance band. The first band he was in was called Georgie & the Rave-Ons, which after being renamed the Shindigs released their first single featuring the 17-year-old Paice and George Adams.

In 1966 Paice joined the MI5, which soon changed its name to the Maze. Primarily a club band, the Maze produced a number of singles, recorded mainly in Italy and France.

Deep Purple

edit

The Maze featured vocalistRod Evans,who alongside Paice was to form the original line-up ofDeep Purplein March 1968. Evans had responded to an ad for a lead singer published by Deep Purple management, and showed up for his audition with Ian Paice in tow. Given that Deep Purple's first choice as drummer,Bobby Woodman,had expressed dislike for the band's musical direction, the group hastily arranged an audition for Paice, with guitaristRitchie Blackmoreleading the charge.[2]Blackmore in interviews years later stated: "I had looked for Ian Paice for about a year after seeing him perform inHamburg.He's an incredible drummer. And he was the motor of the band ". Paice is the last remaining original Deep Purple member in the band in the present day.[3]

Whitesnake

edit

Deep Purple split up in 1976 and eventually reformed in 1984. During the split, Paice formed a new group,Paice Ashton Lordin 1976. The band, also comprising singer/pianistTony Ashton,Deep Purple organistJon Lord,guitarist/vocalistBernie Marsdenand bassistPaul Martinez,recorded one album (Malice in Wonderland) and played only five live shows. Paice Ashton Lord were put on hold in 1977, halfway through recording the group's second album. They subsequently broke up, allegedly becauseTony Ashtononly felt at home playing live shows in little clubs.[citation needed]

In August 1979, Paice was asked byDavid Coverdaleto joinWhitesnakeon the Japanese tour for theLovehunteralbum. He stayed with the band for almost three years. He appeared on the Whitesnake albumsReady an' Willing(1980),Live...in the Heart of the City(1980),Come an' Get It(1981) andSaints & Sinners(1982).

This incarnation of Whitesnake featured David Coverdale and Jon Lord, which meant three members of the Mark III and IV line-ups of Deep Purple were in Whitesnake during this period. Following musical differences with David Coverdale, Paice left Whitesnake in January 1982.[4]

Gary Moore Band

edit

In 1982, Paice joinedGary Moorefor an album that turned intoCorridors of Power.Moore's manager subsequently came up with the idea of Moore and Paice putting a band together under Moore's name, so that his management would take the business side of the project with Paice having a sizeable interest in the band. The collaboration turned out to be a successful one and produced a couple of albums and extensive tours. Paice left Moore's band in April 1984 when the reformed Deep Purple reconvened, and he remains in Deep Purple to the present day.

Notable collaborations

edit

Paice played drums onthe Velvet Underground's final albumSqueeze,which was released in 1973. At that point, the band only consisted of singer and multi-instrumentalistDoug Yule(all of the other members, includingLou Reed,had either left or been fired by their manager), and the album was poorly received and quickly fell into obscurity.

In 1973, Paice was among English rock musicians invited byEddie Harris,an American jazz player, to take part in the saxophonist's London sessions at Morgan Studios. Paice played on two songs: "He's Island Man" and "I've Tried Everything" along withJeff Beck,Steve WinwoodandRick Grech.The album, calledE.H. in the U.K.– The Eddie Harris London Sessions,produced by Geoffrey Haslam, was released the next year thru Atlantic Records.

In 1983, Paice took part in one of the first tribute recordings by symphonic orchestra paid to a rock band.Arrested – The Music of Policewas a joint venture by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted byDon Aireyand assembled rock musicians (other artists involved includedNeil Murray,Graham Bonnet,Chris Thompson,Gary Moore,Roy Wood,Keth Airey and Raff Ravenscroft). The sessions took place mainly in London, primarily atAbbey Road Studios,but also inLos Angeles.

In July 1989, Paice took part inGeorge Harrison's recording session at Friar Park, which resulted in three songs "Cheer Down", "Cockamamie Business" and "Poor Little Girl", which also featuredJeff Lynne,Jim HornandRichard Tandyamong others. The songs were recorded for the compilation albumBest of Dark Horse 1976-1989,released in October the same year. The purpose of this album was to close Harrison's contractual obligations to Warner Brothers. "Cheer Down" was also released on theLethal Weapon 2(1989) soundtrack album.

In March 1999, Paice joinedPaul McCartneyatAbbey Road Studiosfor the recording ofRun Devil Run,released in October that year. The line-up also featured Pink Floyd'sDavid Gilmourand The Pirates'Mick Green.Paice also joined the album's line-up at three one-off performances in September and December 1999, including a show at the famousCavern Club.Steve Morsesaid of Paice: "He's like a real heavy Ringo. He's just so good on the drums, but doesn't want to make a big deal about it."[5]

In 2001, Paice guested onJim Capaldi's albumLiving on the Outside.He played on a 1960s-style rock-and-roll song, "Anna Julia", and the guitar-driven "We're Not Alone". "Anna Julia", which was also released as a single and turned out a considerable hit, also features George Harrison andPaul Weller.

Paice has worked on numerous occasions with former Spencer Davis Group drummer,Pete York.In December 2001 the two played a low key club tour of Germany, playing two drums on one stage, supported byColin Hodgkinson(bass) andMiller Anderson(guitar, vocals). Apart from the regular setlist consisting of songs from York's and Paice's back catalogue, the shows featured impromptu drumming demonstrations and Q&A sessions.

Paice often joins Italian guitarist Tolo Marton, with whom he has performed on many occasions over the last decade, on stage. Marton's live albumDal Verofeatures Paice on theJimi Hendrixsongs "Stone Free" and "Hey Joe". Since 2005, he has also been involved in Moonstone Project led by Italian guitarist Matteo Filippini. The band performs regularly, mainly in Italy; they have also released two studio albums on which Paice has guested.Time to Take a Stand,released in 2006, featured two songs featuring both Paice andGlenn Hughes,performing together for the first time since 1976.

The list of Paice's declared admirers includes Red Hot Chili Peppers'Chad Smith.[6]On 21 June 2004 Smith and Paice joined forces at the launch of the London Drum Company. The next year they also played together at the Modern Drummer Festival at New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Both performances were released on DVD.

He added that the cancelled concerts were the first Deep Purple performances of which he had forced the cancellation since his co-founding of the band in 1968.[16]He returned to stage with Deep Purple in Gothenburg on 1 July, playing a full setlist with the band, but without performing his drum solo.
