“I don’t want people to be upset with me because I don’t mention Ritchie”: Glenn Hughes has worked with some of guitar’s all-time greats – now he’s named the best he’s ever played with

Joe Bonamassa, Tommy Bolin, Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore.

Across an ever-busy career, Glenn Hughes has played with some of the best rock guitarists in the game. Two, he says, stand out above the rest. And one just about beats the other.

The bass player and powerhouse vocalist was a key part of Deep Purple’s Mark III and Mark IV line-ups alongside Ritchie Blackmore after rising through the ranks at the front of hard rock act Trapeze. Since then, he’s played on Gary Moore's 1985 album, Run For Cover, fronted Black Sabbath, and worked with Tony Iommi on the collaborative, underrated Fused LP in 2005.
