BraveWords.com recently reported a transcription of the OVER THE RAINBOW press conference from the band's appearance at Sweden Rock Festival 2009, which was incorrect. The transcript mistakenly reported: "Sometimes Ritchie would give me the guitar when he was fed up with the encore and he went off stage to do some coke and stuff (laughs)," when the actual

quote should have been "Sometimes he would hand me the guitar to do the lead on 'Smoke On The Water' if he was fed up by the encore and he'd walk off and get a Jack and Coke or Scotch and Coke and I'd be left playing the guitar."

BraveWords.com regrets not listening/watching the video, and relying on the aforementioned transcription. As well, BraveWords.com apologizes to Ritchie Blackmore for any harm that has been done to his reputation.
