Deep Purple's Roger Glover and Jon Lord in conversation 1988

Check out Deep Purple's Roger Glover and Jon Lord in conversation in 1988 to discuss the release, at that time, the forthcoming Live album 'Nobody's Perfect' . This is a terrific piece worth checking out.

What a nice, polite young lady asking the questions.

[@overmarsdaria3222]

Nobody looks and sound like them, they were the perfect Rock Band.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Someone on another video told me that Purple's music was watered down Led Zep riffs, and they sounded like King Crimson and Led Zep. Not sure if he was taking his meds or not. 😕

[@attilapiros]

They have been ;)

Adam Curry doesn't have a clue. He didn't listen to Deep Purple and knew absolutely nothing about the band or their music. The WRONG guy to do this interview, indicative of the level of respect MTV had for Deep Purple.

[@toddvandell85]

@Craig Eyler Yeah and Adam asked "why a live album this time? Hadn't written any new songs?" What an idiot. But he had really great hair.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

Adam Curry's biggest achievement in life is having been married to Patricia Paay. Pity Blackmore wasn't there, he would have given the most nonsensical answers he could think of.

[@martindalton5894]

Very good interview

[@GreenerHill]

Excellent points here, particularly re. Bon Jovi. I think BJ were fairly influenced by DP, especially David Bryan/Rashbaum. When I first heard them, I thought some of Purple and UFO had gone into American hard rock. The blend of heavy guitar and classy keyboards - you can't beat that. Lizzy seemed the only HR band that didn't need keyboards, but even they got a keysman in from 1980.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Cream didn't need keyboards...and yes they were heavy rock. Also in the 70's Quo didn't always have keyboads.

[@garyunsworth726]

Nobody's Perfect is not a patch on Made in Japan

[@CB-xr1eg]

Every Live album that isn't Made In Japan, is not a patch on Made In Japan.

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

Yeah, it's not in the same league as their all-time-classic "Made in Japan", and Purple all said as much. Blackmore made a huge mistake in switching to a different type of guitar, and Gillan blew out the highest range of his vocal chords on Black Sabbath's "Born Again" tour. The surgeon told him to rest his vocal chords, but Gillan screamed his head off, instead. That's why you hear almost no screaming at all on the "Perfect Strangers" album, other than a few seconds on "Not Responsible." "Nobody's Perfect" was a major letdown and reflected Ian Gillan's alcoholism - as Lord said, Gillan couldn't remember the words on half of the 17 concerts they recorded. That's why the disc was/is garbage. More than 30 years later, Gillan was still singing and sounding good on albums and terrible in concert. Sad, because he was one of the great live singers of all time in the 1970s.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock To be fair, after Child In Time on In rock, there wasn't an awful lot of screaming on the studio albums. Gillan did scream a bit Live, as can be heard On Made In Japan...Strange Kind Of Woman.

[@craigeyler4495]

A couple of the songs were edited together, the first half from one date and the second half from another. Ritchie broke his hand during the show in Phoenix, which is why there's an x-ray of a hand on the record sleeve; not sure if it's included in the CD booklet. The Japanese version of the album is a double-CD and has one or two extra tracks, making up what would have been their set-list at the time (more or less).

[@Cpayne30]

Gary Unsworth - Yeah, it’s pretty awful. They simply weren’t at their best. It’s widely known that Gillan was sloppy at the time but Blackmore’s playing (live, anyway) was pretty atrocious in the 80s DP.

I thought they were going to tell the story behind the bet lol. Heard the background story of that several times. Was new fact to me that it was in fact arson.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Me too, this interview is the first time I heard that. Is it a coincidence that a later album of theirs was called Burn?🔥🔥

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

@@CB-xr1eg No coincidence. "Smoke on the Water" was their best-known song, so it made sense to go with the "Burn" title for an album in 1974.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock Nah I was joking, I'm sure it was just coincidence. David Coverdale wrote the lyrics to Burn and I doubt that he was thinking of SOTW when he wrote the song.

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

@@CB-xr1eg In that case, you have a good sense of humor. Coverdale may've written the lyrics, but Blackmore selected the album title and the song title.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock What has " humour " got to do with it? The album was titled ater the song Burn which has lyrics and title by David Coverdale. The tune was by Ritchie and is based on Fascinating Rythym by George Gershwin.

[@seabud6408]

They were doing it only for the money at this stage ... they’ve admitted recently. However they regained their dignity when Steve Morse joined on guitar and they made Purpendicular, one of the best rock albums you are likely to hear .... by anyone. They now have no 1 albums 50 years into their career . Infinite was no 1 in Germany and Austria. New album due in a couple of months ... 2020... called whoosh!

[@bartrobinson2103]

I agree one hundred percent! A pathetic live album.

[@thetruthhurts6652]

Never understood why they released that version of hush which was very sloppy. They even spent money for a video which could have went towards a better song.

[@lukethebody]

For most fans this version (with Gillan) has become the definitive version of Hush, it’s harder, wilder and alot more brash than the tame 60’s original.

[@bartrobinson2103]

I'm a huge purple fan but this is a horrible live album.
