Deep Purple-Knocking at your back door 💪

[@gsdfan8455]

# Guiltless thanks for reminding me, haven’t listened to this album for years, forgot about that song. Shame on me

[@philsatriani09]

Knocking At Your Back Door is one of my favorite DP songs!

Wasted Sunsets, from the same album

Highway Star next, please 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You won’t be disappointed for sure!!

Yeah that guy was awesome live mofo was rockin his setup back and forth like he was possessed SWEEEET

[@waynestumbo2408]

@@ronbondie9502 Lord Jon

[@janicewinnick8001]

Should be "Jon Lord God almighty"!

[@bobthebear1246]

Simply put, the greatest keyboard player ever. Jon Lord was the master of the keys. Saw him live with the band in 1997 at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in Wantaugh NY. He was still amazing at his advanced age (he was the oldest member of the band).

[@Dbdorr]

He was the first to mainstream overdr8ving the B3

[@JustinTNAWWEGuy]

To me this is the best Deep Purple song and my favorite

[@douglasdorman9322]

knocking at your baking door, awesome vocals, Ian Gillian, good and great in all formats...

[@steampunknoodles]

HIGHWAY STAR! YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!!

[@nateforest4936]

I remember this from the 80s. I thought they an old hippie band, but my friend bought this cassette and we listened to it all summer. Reminds me of 1986.

[@robysuscosas]

Bruh, you felt the power of the middle riff hypnotize you (one of the greatest riffs in rock history), don't let it throw you off. They bring it home with that riff in a mesmerizing way and Lord's keyboards. Not all finales have to be with a high note being hit. Bruh, this is their signature, this is a rock classic! Keep up the good work!

[@kenwieczorek5167]

Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillian was also the vocalist for Black Sabbath in 1983. The album was called 'Born Again'.

[@hrdcoremetalchik]

oh heck ya! One of my favorites! Try Hard Lovin Man or Pictures of Home...deep purple rocks!

[@scottraba5693]

Wow I've been a huge fan of this music for 30 years but this guy knows his shit.Dio ya he would kill it. Good thinking that would be crazy

[@rflair]

Haven't heard this in awhile, awesome song.

YES! AWESOME SONG! Fun to sing along with.

Nice song!! Next: Highway Star, please...you´ll love it!!

Great song and reaction. Thanks.

[@brickwitheyes1710]

Such a great song one of my favorite deep purples

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

That song is a classic. One of my favorite DP songs.....

[@Seanriver316]

BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO! February 20th, 1985 Richfield (Ohio) Coliseum. I was in the second row, center stage. The keyboard player, Jon Lord(RIP), was rocking his setup so hard, I thought it was going to fall on top of us and crush us! Thats how close we were. The local rock critic, Jane Scott(RIP), was sitting right next to me. The best part was that I was the one who got the tickets because my sister was in the Belkin Ticket Club and would get first choice at the seats. So, I had 4 tickets and intentionally told my 3 friends that were going with me that we were in the lower level, second row. They didnt know we were on the floor, and were flipping out when the usher kept walking us farther and farther down the steps and then all the way to the front of the stage. My ears rang for 2 days and I'm pretty sure it is the reason that my hearing is not so good these days. And I would not trade those memories for anything... P.S.--their signature tune is "Smoke on the Water"

[@thenewkhan4781]

one of my favorites ever.

[@ronnienose8608]

Deep Purple was Dio's favourite band. The guitarist was in Rainbow with Ronnie. Love this track.

[@kenpetroski7443]

appreciate King KTF liking this song, one of those songs you can ride to, cycle, make love......

[@starrdogchamp1]

One if the greatest tracks of all time

[@funkster007]

Deep Purple- "Burn". For the love of all things holy, you MUST! lol

[@Stefan-]

California Jam version 1974 !!!!

[@sean3038]

Definitely the best version.

[@hazi5961]

My favorite Deep Purple song! Also, Shane Douglas rocked this as his intro in ECW in the 1990's! Great tune

[@XpansionTheory]

My all time favorite Deep Purple song. #DC4Life

[@srj6678]

React to Highway Star. Great song

[@mournblade1066]

"Highway Star" is a masterpiece of early hard rock/heavy metal. For some reason I always used to think Judas Priest did it.

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

From my favourite Deep Purple album. You just never get tired of this. And Preston, now I begin to spam you with this: Metal Church, Live in Wacken 2005, Gods of Wrath or Beyond the Black. You WILL love it, singer Ronny Munroe goes over the top on both of them, you will get one helluva hair dryer type of singing treatment. Trust me. I´m waiting, ball is in your corner, Preston !

[@randyblankenship8203]

Was in High school when this came out. I wore out 2 cassettes of this on my boom box!

[@Rhythmmanify]

Megalomania- Black Sabbath!!! That song brings it home. You’ve been ignoring Ozzy’s Black Sabbath for too long. I’m telling you, you’d absolutely love that song.

[@perge_music]

Knocking at your Back Door from the same album is perhaps more of the anthem you're looking for.

[@topperdufferson]

Was waiting for you to enjoy that transition. You appreciate good shit dude.

[@bobthebear1246]

It's a great song, not by delivering any kind of knockout blow, but just by being an awesome, strong mid-paced song to seriously groove-out to. If you notice that the transition to that classically inspired groove sounds familiar, it's because Deep Purple put that in as a tribute to the Led Zeppelin classic "Kashmir." Next by Deep Purple, please do "Knockin' At Your Back Door" from the same album *Perfect Strangers.* If the title song was something new for Deep Purple at the time, then "Knockin' At Your Back Door" was somewhat of a return to previous form, albeit in a newer, more modern way. KTF, I luv ya!! 🤘

[@bigfatno]

It's a great song by one of the most under appreciated bands in rock n roll history (expect by their fans) filled with five of the most under appreciated musicians in rock n roll history (again, except by their fans). I saw them on this tour in 1984 and it was something I thought I'd never see as I was a "late" DP fan, and figured they would never come back after 1975's "Come Taste the Band," which I didn't discover until 1982 or so. Check out their stuff from the early 1970's when they were true monsters of rock n roll.

[@djmadmanny1]

Rainbow, All night long!.. Now there's some vocals!

Listen to it again, definitely hits the vocals early in the song, listen to the lyrics also, it will definitely grow on you, Thanks Again

[@ernieherrera4046]

This reminds me of the late 1989-90, my senior yr in high school! Well, at least one of the songs that reminds me of that time!

[@sagetim]

Fire From The Gods - Excuse Me. This is a song that you will love and playlist for sure. Got to give it some love, they are about to drop a new album and if its anything like their last one you will be hooked.

[@isaacpincheira4754]

We must always look at all these songs in perspective. Rock and Metal somehow is a new genre in constant evolution step by step has been formed with the discovery of something that for us is new over the years. A band discovers one thing, and that remains as a base, then another band discovers something new on top of it. Since you've been listening to in a random way because people bee request them, sometime you have been listening to something very sophisticated from now and then something older that could sound weaker. Deep Purple (60's-begynning 70's) is the ground base for what came after. 70/80's Iron Maiden. 80's Metallica. 90's Tool and so on. Greetings from a latino living in Norway. Your channel is very cool, you have the same reactions as me when I listen to those songs!

[@NoMastersNoMistress]

The fadeout suits the themes of the lyrics, actually, and sets it up for looping... in fact this song hits a traveling man in the gut if he has too many regrets.

[@snigie]

When DP reformed for this album and headlined Knebworth festival I found it impossibly exciting, they were absolutely on fire and just blew everyone's doors off. They became my most favourite of rock bands that year for sure!!

[@perge_music]

I pity it was a (thin) veneer and they weren't going to last long as was :(

[@stevechesney2498]

One of my favorite DP songs! One the radio never plays because they can’t stop ramming Smoke on the water and Highway Star down our throats. Try reacting to “Knocking at your Back Door”

[@mutantpawn]

KTF the breakthrough of the song is the meaning of the song. Been listening to this song since my teens and I never understood the meaning till I was in my late 30's.........I have never knew a person who knew the meaning of this song on their own when they were in their teens, its a song that only an older person can grasp...... sad but true.......

[@evilvolts]

Deep Purples signature is back and forth solos between Jon Lord on keys and Ritchie Blackmore on Guitars the back and forth solos sometimes 2 or 3 times through the song like Highway Star,Dead or Alive,Gypsys Kiss and Later Don Airey who replaced Jon Lord and Steve Morse who replaced Ritchie did the same one of my favs from those 2 was Junkyard Blues off the Rapture of the Deep album.

[@anthonyc9131]

One of my favorite Deep Purple songs, Nothing like seeing them doing it live during the Perfect Strangers tour. Thanks Keep Rocking My Brother 🤟

[@thedeaconofmetalshow7657]

YES! Thanks for picking good music again. You never fail to impress with your ability to be curious.

[@thedeaconofmetalshow7657]

and I think I need to add this: Ritchie Blackmore, DP's guitarist , left to form Rainbow...with Ronnie James Dio.

[@kmvoss]

Great pick, love this song!

[@douglaspage2398]

Excellent choice. A very unique song, no blockbuster endings, but a great execution of haunting melodies and harmonies, and melancholy. This is a one in a million song, not an epic blockbiuster, but perfect to sooth the soul of a troubled mood.

[@Megadeth1983Fan]

Samson - Communion Samson is the band that Bruce Dickinson was in before he joined Iron Maiden in 1981. 'Communion' is a highly underrated ballad and it contains one of Bruce's best performances in his whole career.

[@brettcutajar7452]

He made a amazing album as the singer of Black Sabbath and you mentioned Dio another singer for Black Sabbath cool !!!!

[@HendrixJHE]

This was from 1984, so the guys were getting older. Great reunion song, but its the stuff from 1970 to 1973 that made these guys huge and the music and singing was amazing!

[@Silvermountainman420]

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas used to use this as his intro music in ECW back in the day! Bad ass!! KZbin it!

[@spidersense1472]

Remember the ripoff version when he returned to WCW?

One of the best rock songs ever made and great sound

[@billbox1916]

Hey KTF, great video! Your observation also great of how Dio would have sounded singing a version of this. Thank you

[@adam872]

The intro is one of the all time greats IMHO. Love the song and love the clip, especially the 928 at the beginning.

[@yeahboiii6640]

Love this song!!!! Thanks for giving it a try. Next song has to be Highway Star...Love that song as well...Ian Gillan great vocals and it has both a keyboard solo and guitar solo. I remember listening to this song when I was 14 in 1984....and my friend and I were sneaking booze from his dads bar at his house. Great times! 👍😆

[@christineparmley2096]

Hey bro, love your reaction. And listen again and again. It grows on you. The end you are expecting , for me is in the dynamics between the band knowing the tensions they have getting back together to do this album! Amazing. And when thy do it live....audience goes wild!!!

[@MrAitraining]

One of the great comeback albums ever.

[@Shooter11B]

You have, hands down, the best reaction videos on KZbin! I love watching them because I had the privilege of growing up with a lot of the music you are experiencing for the first time and it reminds me of how I felt when I first heard them, THANK YOU for that! Oh, that bit about the ending, where they bring it home, that to me is an evolution in the 80's by the guys that were influenced by D.P.

[@staceyfelice4386]

Speaking of Dio, he once said “I” was the favorite of his songs. I got into Dio much more because of you, Preston!

[@rickthompson3268]

I had forgotten how much I like Deep Purple, thank you for staying with some classic rock.

My favorite video. This video will be understood by those who know the history of the group and what were the relationships between the members of the group and Richie Blackmore. All of them are smiling and trying to make friends again, although in reality the situation is tense.

[@donnaransom3770]

Right on! I was so surprised to see Ritchie crack a smile.

The legendary Re- Union Single from their 1984 Album of the same name in their Original Line Up !I love the Album,the old vibes are perfectly transferred into the 80's.....

[@stretchwith]

Thank you Preston. I still crank the volume on this song after 30 years!

[@MrTech226]

Hey Preston, this album from Deep Purple is the Reunion of Mark III of members with Gillan (singer) & Glover (bass) returning for 1984 reunion. Gillian & Glover quit the band back in 1973. Jon Lord was the keyboardist during this album. Jon Lord died in 2012. Ritchie Blackmore left the band later to start new band or reformed Rainbow. Through it all, Ian Pace (drummer) survived the whole ordeal. Deep Purple had other singers during band's time with David Coverdale who formed his own band, Whitesnake.

[@bordercolliepina9402]

Deep Purple - Speed King! It's an awesome proto-metal song from their "In Rock" album.

[@Rhythmmanify]

Border Collie Pina Bloodsucker was raw too. Ian Gillan’s hollers could peel the paint off the wall when played at 100 decibels.

[@blazeandcyrus]

one of my favorite bands right here!

[@ledzeppurplerainbow1594]

Perfect Strangers is an awesome album.

[@BrandNewMorning]

One of my favorites of what I will dub the Reunion Era. Since this was their peak 70's line-up getting back together in '84. Another one from this album you need to checkout is Knocking At Your Back Door. From the 70's my personal favorites are Burn and Mistreated, as you already covered my other favorite Child In Time. And nice to see quite a few others immediately knew the Shane Douglas connection, except in my case I only watched him in a dying WCW which he still came out to this song.

[@lililililililililili9375]

Such a strong album, saw the tour Maple Leaf Gardens!!!!!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

There is a version where they play with a full orchestra and if you pump the volume, you will hear what you wanted on that version.

[@armanflint]

Perfect strangers is probably one of my most favorite Deep Purple songs. (I grew up with it, saw it live). Your hit list should probably include: Pictures of Home - (It's like a Spaghetti Western in your ears). Burn - (Way better than Highway Star IMO, Classical meets DP). I'd probably pick 'Space Trucking' before 'Highway Star' or 'Smoke on the Water' just because the latter two have been overplayed and used commercially.

[@flavio_spqr]

+1 for Pictures of Home!

[@ubatooba8467]

I've suggested this tune to you a few times long ago.... The album "Perfect Strangers" was criminally underrated (from 1984) and was possibly the best rock album to come out that year...along side of Van Halen's "1984" album. I knew you'd love this particular track.

[@karenedwards8946]

Love the way you react to old school music, because there is truly some good old school music out there Preston 💜

[@snowdog90210]

[@HannoverXavi]

Hell yeah! And Stargazer of Rainbow as well 🤘🏼

[@sprunknmn]

It doesn't swing like the original does. This song is so dirty good.

[@shadowlord5574]

Every song on this album is awesome.

[@MatiasJaruf]

Now that you're talking about covers... A few years ago, Dream Theater used to do a part of their concerts like Nightmare Cinema (something like the opposite of Dream Theater). The musicians switched places and play this song. Also, since you like Marko from Nightwish you should listen Northern Kings, a band with northern singers and they sing covers

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

This song, particularly the iconic guitar riff, is just brilliant. The absolute best cover of this song is done by Dorn, which is ironically on his album “Dio.” Jorn’s vocals are incredible, plus he puts his own signature on it to make it unique. I urge you to check out “Knocking at your Back Door.” The beginning of it has been used in countless sports as an entrance anthem. Another great, great song.

[@Kolinu2]

Love that transition so much it gives me goosebumps every time.

[@josemclovin]

This whole album is a fucking masterpiece.. ❤️

[@dansaint2249]

If you're wanting that high soaring vocal...there is a version of this song done by Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. I'm sure you can find it on KZbin. It has that vocal to it that you were probably expecting

[@Gunderson105]

Metal has "Tribute Albums" where newer generations of metal bands cover a band's catalog. A Deep Purple one was released called "Re-Machined" that has Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black label Society Et .al. doing DP's songs. Nativity in Black 1 &2 are great tribute albums to the work of Black Sabbath. I would definitely check out System of a Down's cover of "Snowblind".
