RNRU : What prompted your departure from Rainbow?

BR : I would've probably got thrown out if I didn't leave. We just stopped getting along. Things changed. Rainbow went through a lot of people man.(Laughs)

RNRU : If Ritchie were to call you and say, "Hey, I'd like to put Rainbow back together," would you be willing to do it?

BR : I don't know, I'd have to see what I'm doing at the time. I didn't get that close so I don't have to worry about it. I'm really not a good "What if?" kind of guy. I'm like, when it happens, it happens.
