CheapJon Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I love "Deep Purple In Rock" but haven't really gotten into any other albums, a few songs here and there but not full albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Somebody once told me that Smoke on the Water is a reference for taking bongs.Absolutely not. Smoke On The Water was written about a whore house that burned down and there were like 20 whores killed and Blackmore got away without a scratch and wrote the riff with no pants on.

It's a 30 track best of with some insanely rocking music, but classy too, and kind of voodoo and shit. Child in Time blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Hush and maybe something else. Otherwise that stuff is very different from Deep Purple.Cool that you just discovered them. You're in for a wild ride. They're a great band and IMO one of the few that has had extensive lineup changes and they are really all great. At least I like most Purple all the way through the 70s.

ZoSoRose Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Deep Purple is awesome! Obviously, the MK II lineup is my favorite, but there is a lot of great pre and post Gillan stuff, too. I saw them with an orchestra in 2011. It was really cool! Morse and Airey do a great job live, but I do miss Blackmore and Lord. They have some good material with Morse, too. I really like Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming and Rapture of the Deep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm listening to stuff like Speed King, Strange kind of Woman, Fireball, Black Night, Hush, Highway Star Remix. Obviously I've heard some before like Hush, Highway, Black Night. I remember when in a band in school and a teacher gave me Fireball album but I never listened to it on principle. This cd is called 30: the Very Best of Deep Purple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I forgot to mention, I think Gillan's voice has really deteriorated. The show I went to was fun, but he was the weak link. I'm still glad its him up there, but us always complaining about Axl makes me forget there is worse out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That looks a pretty good overview greatest hits. Don't know if you have the one disc or two. I'm assuming one, and the single disc is missing two great songs Might Just Take Your Life and Knocking At Your Back Door which are on the two disc.Other songs that are absent from both versions are Lay Down Stay Down, Comin' Home, Fools, Highball Shooter, Soldier Of Fortune, and oddly enough I don't see Space Truckin on either of those copies, which may be overplayed but is a classic track.

wasted Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've got two discs. I noticed Knocking on the Back Door. It just attracted my attention. I actually got it off a street stall with Metal Masters II which is a 3 disc set and a bootleg copy of Ozzy Prince of Darkness.I've got two discs. I noticed Knocking on the Back Door. It just attracted my attention. I actually got it off a street stall with Metal Masters II which is a 3 disc set and a bootleg copy of Ozzy Prince of Darkness. Maybe it was put together for a tour. I read Blackmore chooses the tracks they play live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Get yourself a copy of the MK II Ian Gillan version of the band "Made in Japan" live CD. One of the greatest live albums of all time. I have this on three different versions on vinyl ( UK, Japan and US versions), 4 different CD releases and all are excellent IMHOThis is the best songs from 3 dates in Japan in 1972 plus a bonus disc of some of the encoreshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mR-oI0lyckhttp://www.amazon.com/Made-Japan-Deluxe-US-Release/dp/B0012EJVTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428511451&sr=8-1&keywords=deep+purple+made+in+japan+40th+anniversaryor if you are really into it you can get the Deluxe edition that has all three concerts complete. I have this and it is fantastic but it is more or less the same set list every night.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Made-Japan-Deep-Purple/dp/B00IGAI5RQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428511268&sr=8-1&keywords=Deep+Purple+Made+in+Japan+box+setIf you are getting into DP it is a must have.Also recommend this live CD featuring the MK III David Coverdale/ Glen Hughes version of the band "Live in Londonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHppJxJvyekhttp://www.amazon.com/Live-London-DEEP-PURPLE/dp/B00577WFOU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1428512335&sr=8-7&keywords=deep+purple+live+cdThe Mk IV version of the band features Tommy Bolin on guitar after Blackmore quit to start Rainbow with Dio but Bolin injured his arm so he could barely play.Joe Satriani also toured briefly with them in 94/ 95 after Blackmore quit again but there are no official releases with him which is a shame as I understand he was excellent playing the DP songs. Here is a boot of him live with the bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyN99q8Wo9k Edited April 8, 2015 by classicrawker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
