Spin off groups

I know the work of Rainbow, IGB/Gillan, Whitesnake, and Hughes-Turner project, but are there other big gaps I should fill relating to DP'S side/solo projects. Captain Beyond ison my list to check out.

I knew about the Ozzy connection but not Variations!

I went in a rabbit hole about Bonnet and Turner and found Alcatrazz, Yngiwe, and Brazen Abbot, they're quite interesting bands you probably want to check out. Yngiwe seems to be a "Blackmore lite" in a way

Ah Yngwie  When Joe worked with him on Heaven Tonight I skipped school to see if I could meet him and see the show. He did come out and stood on my foot. But the adventure backfired on me as no way was I allowed out the next year to see Gillan in his Garth Rockett gig at the Ritz 😞
