Said Lord, "We took from jazz, we took from old fashioned rock and roll, we took from the classics. Ritchie and myself...used to swap musical jokes and attacks. He would play something, and I'd have to see if I could match it. That provided a sense of humour, a sense of tension to the band, a sense of, 'what the hell's going to happen next?'

Although Blackmore preferred Turner to remain in the group, he grudgingly relented, after requesting and eventually receiving $250,000 in his bank account<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> and Mark II completed the aptly titled <a href="/wiki/The_Battle_Rages_On..." title="The Battle Rages On...">The Battle Rages On...</a> in 1993. Blackmore still disagreed with the decision, creating more tension between himself and the rest of the band, especially Gillan.
