Deep Purple too old to Rock'n Roll? ROCK ANTENNE Interview

[@Natalia_Belenkaya]

Thank God this wasn't their last tour, just saw them in 2022, amazing as ever

[@Mxulin]

Thank god they're coming back to FL next year randomly apart from the cruise, I actually get the chance to see them 😭

[@TheTVisions]

Paicey is fantastic to listen to in interviews, always very thoughtful and spot on. Rog too, of course. Good interview.

[@skyscraper7474]

Paicey?

[@AlexMay-n1g]

And he stays naturally humble too

[@chrisgreenwood4851]

Fabulous interview!,,Ive followed Purple since In Rock...and they are, and will remain, my favorite band....Always great to hear intelligent, articulate and sensitive musicians speaking from what is obviously from the heart! However long it lasts..(And I sincerely hope its a good stretch yet!)..Thank you guys..my life has been influenced, entertained and moved by your music!!

[@potsovelle]

Such a bittersweet interview. I love these guys.

[@lsks319]

Im 57 and i started listening to Deep Purple in Junior School and i still do. These two guys and Gillan are an absolute class act! (and Morsey and Airey.) So long on the road amd they're still at it! And a great interview.

[@repetitivemotion]

Just saw them in Milwaukee in October 2019. Great show. Glad I had a chance to see DP one last time. My favorite band of all time.

[@MrAlcides1611]

Deep Purple FOREVER for all that loves the Rock'n'Roll!!!

[@IanG66]

Ian and Roger - what a class act!!! And not having your live show sounding like the recorded pieces - that's real musicianship!!! But then again - this is DEEP PURPLE!!! Cream of the crop!

[@DokktorDeth]

Ian, does 'G' stand for Gillan?? :-)

[@grobbler1]

Glad to see the band's approach to this, by hinting in a low-key manner that this tour will probably be the last, but leaving the final end date open. Much more classy than the way some bands conduct themselves by announcing farewell tours, then suddenly going back on their word. I'm sure Purple know the fans will be there for them for as long as they are willing (and able) to go on.

[@tuttt99]

Hearing Roger's playing on "Machine Head/Made in Japan" inspired me to take up the bass.

[@standandeliver8376]

This is the first time I've heard Ian Paice in an interview. I like him. He talks a lot of common sense. Very down to earth, level headed and intelligent.

[@robsas6610]

Excellent! Loved it and happy to say that I have interviewed them both a few times for my radio rock show.

[@torahymen9653]

One of the best DP interviews i've seen!! And of course, always so down to earth and humble! Well done lads after all this time :)

[@SifetFelic]

Two Legend, one band,one way? Rock! The Best

[@wildernesswordsmith]

You guys have been such a Big, Big part of my life. The sheer amount of touring, playing etc., is staggering. All things must pass - and it will one day..but until then keep doing what is an obvious enjoyment. It's great how you appreciate who pays the ticket, W.

[@Romulus980]

They are indestructible ! Its now Nov 2020, I am listening via headphones to their new album Whoosh which they brought out during Covid-19 Pandemic; simply brilliant.....

[@paulofreire7520]

Great respect for these 2 blokes, Paicey and Glover. 2 exceptional musicians frequently under rated.

[@beckya9830]

NEVER too old to rock and roll!! Especially with this band. Love them still and forever! One of a kind and always under rated in my opinion. Saw them in concert last year. Primo still as when I saw them in the 70’s. 😬😕😜💐 I’m 64 and still crank up the stereo to their classics. Makes my heart happy.

[@PlaYourSelF]

Really enjoyed this interview. Keep on keepin' on guys. See you this June!

[@simonpalling3215]

Will never be forgotten. Purple Mk2- rare talent, all of them as individuals but so much more, together. Keep on keeping on, Gents.

[@kenraalimarsalkka2130]

They are well mannered grandpas in a rock band. Love them

[@Augmuse]

Deep Purple still makes great music. I like the bands attitude. The reverence the members have for the band and their music is awesome and I think little seen. I know in the 1960's we all hoped the music would never end. Most of us hoped the bands were around 5 years at least. I'm so glad that these bands are still being creative writing new music, recording, and touring some 50 years or more. I think we live in one of the most fertile and creative musical times in the history of the world.

[@JunkerOnDrums]

I was at a Deep Purple concert in the summer of 2023 in Copenhagen Tivoli - Amazing and emotional experience :D

[@marymoonchild2801]

Im looking forward to see them in Prague, I first saw them ten years ago as a fourteen year old ( best first concert ever ) and they were absolutely amazing. Love these guys so much!

[@MichaelQuinlan207]

That was one of the best, knowledgable and human interviews I've ever seen with Purple guys. I can't wait for the album and an infinite tour.

[@CB-xr1eg]

You don't want an infinite tour, that would go on forever!

[@Innerspace100]

I guess that's why they opted to call it "The Long Goodbye Tour"... open ended, right...

[@mik99D]

"2-3 years, who knows what the world would be like?" Oh-oh. Paicey the prophet.

[@torahymen9653]

It's so refreshing to hear an interviewer say Deep Purple is a "Heavy Rock" band! I'm so sick of people saying DP is a "Heavy Metal" band!?!?

[@CB-xr1eg]

Only last night I saw an interview with Jon Lord where he was referred to as " the master of metal " So wrong!!

[@jerseysucks6158]

Clive Bindley - What's wrong with saying "metal"? I don't get. Them, the Sabs and the mighty Zeppelin all are the roots of Metal. Their sounds were HEAVY, explosive and LOUD!

[@repetitivemotion]

In 1970, their sound was hard, heavy and raw. Along with Black Sabbath, they set the framework for what would become modern metal.

[@pedrojunior8635]

great band !!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DEEP FUCKING PURPLE !!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL

[@Augmuse]

What a tour with Edgar Winter-Alice Cooper-Deep Purple! Groups I loved then and still love now. Great vital bands all three of them. Thank you Deep Purple for a career that has not become old and moldy. I still loving seeing them. I agree I do not want an exact copy of the studio track played live. I love the jamming and the changes the band may add when they play live. Playing live is the payoff for all the hard work in the studio. Hard to find an interview with a band where you will find more humanity and honesty...and FUN. They encompass my feelings about music. They keep me wanting more...and I love it.

[@anneabbot4317]

I believe this great musician has been alongside with Ritchie Jon, Gillian,and always the thorough bred of Purple for me.Seeing Ian Paice back on stage with his magic sticks and beat gets Purple pulsating again like it was and always .Love the drumming on Fireball,Space Trucking,Highway Star,etc. Roger Glover is super trouper on bass .One of my favorites were Highwaystar, Never before,Black Night,Pictures of Home. Locks in well with Ian Paice',s drumming as well as great match fitting team.Paicey and Roger supply thunder and high voltage that alongside with Airey,Morse and Gillian keeps Purple a Power House and Highly Explosive piece!Rock on guys,life on a pleasure with souls on fire!

[@CB-xr1eg]

Who is GILLIAN?

[@LostMyMojo100]

I'm sure she meant Gillan... Give her a break.

[@tommyturner6923]

Ian is spot on about alot of things.Two hours really is long enough for any act, and last tour really should mean last tour, sad though it may be. Hope to catch these guys if they do the US.

[@CB-xr1eg]

But they are not saying " last tour ", they said that in the interview.

[@loriabrams3048]

where it stops nobody knows.

[@loriabrams3048]

Tommy Turner. id love to see dp live once again but nobody i know would want to go with me.

[@raybirrell216]

Purple are freeking brilliant, they've been going since 1968, the first LP I got was Purple In Rock, Hortzu Version, and there still going, any other band even goes to half that, need I say more.

[@pameladiez4933]

Never to old to rock n roll.never.!!🎶🎸👍💡😁🎼

[@garyunsworth726]

I love Ian and Rog and love the way they speak, Gillan too is well spoken

[@elikristinhamre2590]

Wise words from some living legends and great musicians, I`m glad they are still touring and recording. They say they take a few years at the time, that si a good idea. Now there is anew alnum comming out, with show hoow great musicians they are.! Deep purple and the members there has been a great inspiration for musicians for many years, almost no matter what style they play. On their conserts there is musicians who also come to watch their music idols to learn from that. Drummers, giutar players, bass players, and so on. And of course Ian Gillan has been a great inspiration for singers world wide, and still are.! They also mention the wish to play and write that they still have, kind of the same feeling as in younger years. Great music is like wine, it keep its quality over the years.. They mention gospel chiors here, I grew up in one of those. There they also use songs from rock and pop bands, if the lyrics are good enough.! Also other chior use that kind of songs, and they are very populair.

[@glennmurray4608]

Glover & Paice ! incredible interview !

[@LostMyMojo100]

Great interview!!!

[@wesseldutoit9783]

Two guys who are the best in the business!!!!!!

[@raymondbirrell1583]

Deep Purple, I have liked and supported them since 1968 to 1969 with Purple in Rock, and they've going for years, it's 2018 and there still going, question, is there any bands from the error of 1969 to 2018, still going, there have been thousands of bands who have been and gone and there will be many more to come, bands like this made themselves from "valves" not microchips

[@juliettelittwin6318]

Like I told you in Karlsruhe my dear Ian.... you are fantastic.... and you guys are fantastic...

[@windsurfer49]

I think they should do "two live albums" mixed sets, new and old, 4hrs of great music I for one would buy them,

[@vaneipontes3279]

Roger Glover / Ian Paice... 2 monstros 😎👊

[@SilverStratMan]

I enjoyed that. Good interview from both sides.

[@anneabbot4317]

This album 'Infiniti' is momentus and evolution of Purple in this century.Great interview very intellectually articulated and crafted in words .Adds colour to Purple in deeper core.Two Thumbs up guys!

[@markgowans]

I know it wont happen but it would be great if all former members (still alive) got together and had a mega jam. If I saw that I'd die happy.

[@hu9204]

Ritchie would never do that.

[@markgowans]

Jakub G Like I said it will never happen because Ritchie wouldn't take part. Also if the hall of fame thing is anything to go by then Ian Gillan & Bruce Payne would do anything possible to make sure that Ritchie couldn't take part.

[@cliftonkenny2507]

After watching this enjoyable n revealing interview, i'm sure it wouldn't be out of place 4me 2say, you're not alone on thought's of,, the Last One. Paicey Gillan Glover Blackmore n Jon Lord [R.i.p] you have been such a major part of ,my life n i believe millions world wide ,that thought's of the, Last One ,Deep Purple has declared!! are thought's, i don't like 2dwell on.In my heart n mind, Machine Head, Made In Japan, Fire Ball, n In Rock, are the greatest innings in rock history,with the same line up, n also Burn with the middle order Coverdale n Hughes,as 4the tailenders the very worthy n Blackmore n Lord [r i p] endorsed,Morse n Airey, i hope you ya'll be there 4the final delivery.So with all my heart THANK YOU KINDLY. Cheers Lads.Long Live DEEP PURPLE.

It’s probably too late but I’m a keyboard player who is heavily influenced by Jon Lord. Can’t emulate that , , oh btw I’m 59 years old

[@stevehill766]

there is a 90 minute dvd included with Infinite, their new cd that gives just what you are asking. Make sure that the product info states 2 cds as there are some 1 cd music only releases. The dvd is a very entertaining film on making this Infinite album.

[@alder200763]

I would be interested in what they would play if they alone decided what they liked best. I think that would be interesting

[@Roggiedodgie]

Rare- I like the interviewer- good guy good questions

[@DaveH-10]

These guys are class acts. They are always given chances to rip Ritchie apart in interviews but choose the high road. Everyone knows Ritchie is one of the biggest jackasses in the history of music by the way he treated the band and the fans. For me Jon Lord had a bigger influence on the band than he did anyway.

[@hu9204]

Jon Lord said that "Ritchie Blackmore has always been the prime mover behind the band's music".

[@LostMyMojo100]

But Jon refined it.... And I think he kept Ritchie in check to a certain extent because Ritchie respected Jon as a monster musician.....

[@ScienceTalkwithJimMassa]

Ritchie has acknowledged that he was an angry young man,and that this affected his dealings with people. He remembers being uptight at age 5 and does not understand why, where it came from. He himself asked, "what was happening psychologically then that I was so uptight?".

[@MattiasKroon]

Obviously never too old.

[@FuturePast2019]

10:13 "You have to play" CIT?

[@CB-xr1eg]

Roger says he can't imagine what life would be like without Deep Purple. He should know, he wasn't in the band from '73 to '84. Maybe lost his memory from age?

[@bradvincet1848]

When you've had great success with a particular lineup and then crucial people from that lineup are no longer involved you don't have the same band anymore. It probably wouldn't matter though, rock n roll is dead these days.

[@What_Fred_Said]

These two seem like they would be easy to get along with. To bad Richie and Ian couldn’t.

[@davidecarini6615]

Sorry guys...what does Roger say at 0:10? He speaks too fast for me...

[@slycordinator]

[@nelidalobato5420]

nunca se es old pata rock and roll es mejor experiencia

[@garyunsworth726]

Ritchie is not a jackass at all, yeah he wasn't the easiest of people to deal with but that's the way he was/is, he is responsible for giving Deep Purple their most popular, successful and worldwide known songs. His approach on stage and performances were stunning, exciting and unpredictable, now they are so boring onstage it's unbelievable, this Steve Morse line up hasn't written one fucking hit or song that I can think of

[@Picato75]

Hardcore fan here.... who no longer goes to see my fave band, because I don’t need to hear them play SOTW or Highway Star again. Frankly, their rendition of those classics today is NOT up to the old performance standards, and therefore not all that thrilling to go see. Give me the new stuff, with an occasional dip into the back catalogue that they don’t ordinarily play. That would be worth spending my money to see.
