Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door | Reaction

[@yozaseig3870]

Love Deep Purple!!! Best musicians best vocalist. More DP reactions especially the Mark 2 lineup please

[@jalkabre5904]

Need to also do "Perfect Strangers" from this album, great song. Also check out the guitarist's other band called Rainbow. Especially the earlier years with Dio on vocals. "Stargazer" is epic.

[@ronparsons8786]

Great song

[@terriertz5134]

The line in the song "common cunning linguist" and "master of many tongues" is a play on the word cunnilingus which means oral stimulation of the female genitals. In the 80's, there were some really uptight, prudish people, so congress pushed to censor song lyrics. Deep Purple did a play on words in order to avoid being censored by radio stations. And I believe "knocking at your backdoor" was referencing anal sex. Deep Purple definitely leaned into the stereotype that this music was all about sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Lol

This is my teenage years. I love this track!!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Very good! 😁 Deep Purple 1984 The band had broken up in 1976... former members went separate ways in bands like Gillan, Whitesnake, Rainbow, Trapeze... But in '84, Deep Purple decided to reunite the band w/ Ian Gillan on vocals... first time they had played w/ him since 1973... the line-up was the classic 1970 Deep Purple... Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Roger Glover (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards) & Ian Paice (drums)

[@terrymott8581]

You're right there was a lapse in there, but this song definitely struck a chord. Al these years later, crank it!

And one hell of a comeback it was 🤘

[@howardlederer4941]

Saw them on this tour 1984 , great comeback album for the band, and awesome concert

[@jom7604]

My favorite Deep Purple song. I bought the album, which e still have to this day. 😻

[@donnacarter2617]

Deep Purple was definitely a jam band, another awesome band. Thanks for playing.....

[@notquitedone51]

I bought this on cassette when it came out. I was thirteen, and somehow I still have the damn thing.

[@Rigbysalad]

I will buy that off of you for a large amount of money

[@SatWiseJanx]

One of my favorite Deep Purple lyrics that I've always lived by, It's not the Kill, it's the Thrill of the Chase!

[@musiclover-cd4wn]

nailed it 80's

[@woodysdrums8083]

You are 100% right about the double standard for men and women.

[@coachnac5649]

My first concert was this tour in 84, Pittsburgh. Changed my life. Reunion tour.

[@ktwebbdevil]

80's for sure! I got to see them in Jax Florida on tour from this album

[@MrPsaunders]

Gillan, the Dylan of the Double Entendre.

[@Gunderson105]

Ah a favorite of mine. About the girls they saw dancing at a strip club. DP wrote this with as many double entendres as they could to see how far the could push the censorship on the radio. The radio version of this is slightly tamer.

[@DaveAtkinsonBlackdogdave]

common cunning linguist? Reminds me of cunnilin..... could be wrong mind.

[@jimbusby8298]

Some the Best Riffs ever ... like smoke on the Water 🎵🥁🎸☑🎯

[@dashriprock5720]

Deep Purple, black water keep on shining on me

[@bryanforis1839]

Great song they great live show

[@benshafer5198]

You got it, bro; 1984. I noticed that a lot of reactors are catching the decades, but especially the 80's. Yep, very distinct indeed. Probably the straightforward drum beat and snare

[@john-stringham]

Yup, from Purple's 1984 reunion album.

[@Gus-px7hd]

Good observation - this was on one of their later albums, Perefect Strangers, 1984

[@reesezpeecez08]

you can't go wrong with Deep Purple.

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

Perfect Strangers 👍 Awesome comeback album 🤘❤🇨🇦

[@christosnikitakis6675]

What a ROCKER!!!!

[@ljdsam]

I think the idea was to sneak as many sexual references, overt and covert, into the lyrics. And I'm fairly sure the ladies are strippers, groupies or call-girls.

[@TheJimprez]

You are right. This is 80s DP. A LITTLE bit less HARD-edged, more of a pop drum beat. We played that, Roxanne (the Police) and some U2 and Duran Duran together at ski parties. You HAVE to mix it up... When you rent a ski chalet with daddy's credit card and you post an open house on the radio.. (My friend got sent away to boarding school, for that one...) Ah, the 80s. Pre-Internet. When you could get away with stuff like that. Credit card payments went on a paper slip and took WEEKS to get accounted for.

[@Ravenite66]

A cunning linguist 🤣

[@timhankins9245]

Over his head

[@timhankins9245]

😃

[@dannymartinez9371]

@@timhankins9245 Gillan doesn't get the credit for his lyrics he deserves. He wrote super lines for Purple Gillan and even Sabbath. Tremendous sense of humor, often a penchant for the narrative and he loves to discuss subjects like war and infinity. You're right, this guy misses a few things here. Almost thought he'd get cunnilingus when he kept repeating a master of many tongues but I guess not.

[@wallyh24]

A master of many tongues!....poetry! Lol

[@pthor6265]

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers, was my second concert. Tickets were $14 bucks. Billy Squire/Tommy Shaw was my first.

[@toddthousand1976]

Saw that tour but with Giuffria if I remember correctly

[@pthor6265]

@@toddthousand1976They did.

[@GratefulNole1]

Saw them on this tour in spring 85, was one of the loudest shows I ever saw. Dude, check out Perfect Strangers...the track....

[@denverite3742]

This song is not even in my top 1000 songs. but This song has 2 of my top 10 guitar solos.

[@LeeRalph100]

LOL Totally missed the play on word for a cunning Linguist!!! LOL I agree check out their song "Perfect Strangers" and anything off of their 1972 album "MACHINE HEAD"

GREAT SONG!!

[@kennylingus4595]

Another SHOUT OUT for Me!!!!

[@cherylmmoll]

💕💕💕💕

[@viclagina347]

Common cunning liquist is code for cunninglingus

[@AlexAlexon3897]

My friend (female) was sure that Austin/Bentley line was actually "And now she eases gently from her arse onto her belly". ("Arse" = English for "ass".) Maybe she read Gillan right!

[@johnfoster5295]

Good call. This was from their comeback album in '84.

[@moodyclark3218]

More Deep Purple. Stormbringer

[@SatWiseJanx]

Bravo! I'm a GenXer whose favorite band was Deep Purple back in high school. This was their reunion album that people waited 11 years to happen. They were the original, best heavy band in concert bar none. The only recommendation I will make is *please*don't ever play a shit MTV official video except perhaps Perfect Strangers, the title track, which shows them reuniting after 11 years and recording the song. And yes, the record company ripped off Mad Max which was popular at the time. There are so many live versions of this and many DP classics that you could only focus on, and their stage presence is legendary. You've got the greatest Rock keyboard player of all time, one of the greatest rock guitar legends who you have to beat to win Guitar Hero. And the fastest and most accurate drummer of the time, who was an octopus like Danny Carey. The singer had a legendary scream, falsetto, and accurate five octave range. He also was Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Finally the bass player (their stinking hippy )contributed to writing music, lyrics and led production. From 1969-73, until 1984 when they they became Perfect Strangers again (and only recommend MTV video). After 10 mind melting shows in the last 25 years, I've evolved to acknowledge TOOL as the GOAT of heavy live bands. But they couldn't have evolved without the foundation that the Unholy Trinity laid down. Long live Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin! But Deep Purple still delivers the goods while 3/5 of this best lineup pushing 80 years old, including the singer. Catch these legends while you can!

[@jamesharper3933]

This is off their 1984 album Perfect Strangers. Deep Purple broke up in 1976 after the departure of Richie Blackmore (formed Rainbow 1975) and the death of replacement guitarist Tommy Bolin in 1976. David Coverdale formed Whitesnake with fellow Purple members Ian Paice and Jon Lord. Deep Purple reunited in 1984 with this album. Check out the 1985 video of Under the Gun off this album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYHZlWCMiLV3mbs

I can see you should be in music, great voice, and joy for all of it. If you want to get a mouth drop find Yoyoka she was 9 when did the drums to Stone Cold Crazy by Queen. I never knew Roger Taylor was so good.

[@notrare_png]

you should react to the official music video to roadhouse blues by the doors. or gloria that song is great too

Not sure your ready for this, its a little shocking at first, its Awesome!! Try- " BabyMetal" song is "Headbanger" live at "Legend of 1997 show, Your life will never be the same!

Dude.... so much more LMAO

[@jackastor5265]

No, no bro. Sweet Nancy wasn't the common cunning linguist. None of the guys could get with Sweet Nancy so they called their bro up to do it who was a common cunning linguist who would know how to talk to get to get her clothes off because he was a master of many tongues. And its not just one girl, its not just Sweet Nancy, there is also Sweet Lucy.

[@paulrebori2395]

Coming from a 60's and 70's rocker. The 80,s was the worst generation of rock and and didn't really get much better. a Big Deep Purple Fan and this almost as bad as the the rest of 80's rock
