Drummer's First Time Hearing - Deep Purple - Highway Star Reaction/Review

[@kenchristie9214]

I am happy that someone actually recognise Roger's skill as a bass guitarist. It took me more than a decade to recognise how good Roger really is.

[@jonathanross812]

As your first to comment may I say that it is the keyboard, first solo. Guitar second solo. Also, the live version from 'made in Japan' really is the best one.

[@g.e.5723]

Dude! Made In Japan! Had that album, great headphones and a decent turntable as a 13yo. I wore that album out!

[@jonathanross812]

@@g.e.5723 Yeah, my ears learnt to produce defensive ear wax doing exactly the same thing.

The singer with that crazy range, Ian Gillian sang the lead in London’s original Jesus Christ Superstar. I went with my parents. I was 11, and the understudy who was a monster as well, sang it that night. I was obsessed with the show, and then got into Deep Purple a little bit older. This song, and Burn were my 2 absolute favorites

Deep purple la mia vita 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@jacksaintjack2844]

Ian Gillan was the lead singer. After he left Deep Purple, he formed the Ian Gillan Band. I was working at a clothing shop at the mall in Beaumont, Texas in 1975. I approached a gentleman looking at apparel and was shocked to discover the customer was Ian Gillan who was in town to play at the civic center. Remember it as if it happened last week.

DEEP PURPLE IST THE BEST!!!

[@gsmith7309]

MACHINE HEAD. In My top 2 albums of all time......

[@alericksonof1967]

Highway Star is classical music disguised as rock music .... the chord progressions, the organ and guitar soloing ... there is a reason Rick Wakeman loved Jon Lord

[@gregrambo606]

Deep Purple, 1972, when the album Machine Head (that this song is on): Ritchie Blackmore-guitar Roger Glover-bass Jon Lord- organ Ian Paice- drums Ian Gillan- lead vocals

[@modejar2022]

IAN PAICE is the drummer. IAN PAICE, don't forget that name again. Now listen to FLIGHT OF THE RAT from their 1970 album, DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK; it contains an amazing drum solo. This studio version of "Highway Star" is from their 1972 album, MACHINE HEAD. Here is also ROGER GLOVER on bass and IAN GILLAN on vocals. Along with Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and Jon Lord (R.I.P) on the organ, are known as the Mark 2. You can hear a symphonic piece called CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA from 1969, composed by Jon Lord and performed by DEEP PURPLE and THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, at the Royal Albert Hall, to feel the progressive side of Deep Purple. If you think is too long, you can listen to APRIL from their 1969 third album called simply DEEP PURPLE, (this is from the Mark 1 era, you know, Rod Evans on vocals and Nick Simper on bass, this two were in the band only the first year) at the beginning, they were taken as a pop-psychedelic-progressive band, until 1970 (with the Mark 2 line-up), when they make a musical statement, as they released the cornerstone of Hard Rock, called DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK, an album you must listen entirely. Good luck.

[@anthonyblakely399]

You got my heart when I first saw you react to "Close To The Edge" by YES and said they were your best and favorite Rock group and then watching your reactions.......really made me laugh sooooo hard because I have been there.......When I and my friends first heard them with this song on the stereo in 1972....we had the exact reactions you expressed in the early 70's......YES are among the gods of Rock n' Roll along with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.......and Now You are Doing Deep Purple one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal music....wow......can't wait to see your reaction this Power House Rock group!!!!

[@donramonramirez5141]

Desde que los escuché por primera vez, quede pegado a Deep Purple 🤷👋👋🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@frankpentangeli7945]

The drummer is Ian Paice, the only member of the band who has been there from the very beginning.

[@cherylreichardt]

Hi Josh! I want to get in a car and never stop!! A rock n roll dream. What guitar work!! 🎸 I don't think I can ever get enough of Deep Purple! Thanks for this reaction!👍🎶

[@guidosarducci]

Man, I love your reactions. And one of the best things to me is that your voice microphone and the video volume is always 'on point'...meaning that I don't have to turn my volume up to a ridiculous level just to hear you or the music. I TRULY appreciate that... Rock on

[@bevofrancis4309]

Purple ROCKS.....😎

[@jacksaintjack2844]

A MASTERPIECE.

[@leehanson1416]

First solo is Hammond organ through a blazing Marshall guitar stack, played by the late, great Jon Lord.

[@LedBeatle-vz4ui]

Hell yeah it was, and my favorite part of Smoke on the Water is that same heavy organ sound!

[@pocemonspivom]

First solo duet with Blackmore.

[@blackseb9831]

@@pocemonspivom No duet with Blackmore (he only do the rhythm work in the organ solo). This were two organ tracks in this studio version …

[@yambo59]

70's was about the coolest and about the most prolific music era ever

[@mickeyhank]

Loved your reaction Josh. I like how you listen closely and really notice everything. FYI, the first solo was organ. You had it right when you were moving your fingers around but then I think you said you thought it was guitar. No big deal. The second one was guitar. For me the most impressive Ian Paice song is called “Lay Down Stay Down”. It’s off of the Burn album- you reacted to the title track. Coverdale and Hughes singing. I think you would really dig that. It’s an upbeat number. The drumming astounds me on that song. Here are three other suggestions: from 1975, Blackmore had left to form Rainbow and they got a guy named Tommy Bolin for guitar. I like him as much as I like Blackmore. Tremendous guitarist. Two songs off that album,”You Keep on Moving” and “Gettin’ Tighter”. If you react to these 3 do the original studio versions. Another song you should definitely check out is from one of Tommy Bolin’s studio albums called “Post Toastee”. I name it as my favorite song of all time. How’s that for building up expectations? :-) It’s 9 minutes. And if you’re up for doing a long live deep purple song with an incredible drum solo - where you could see Ian Paice at work - check out from I think 1969, “Mandrake Root” from the Bilzen Jazz Festival. I promise you that none of these will disappoint you. Sorry for the long message, 😊.

[@daveking9393]

Well said! Really!! Thanks for sharing.

[@mickeyhank]

@@daveking9393 Thank you! Sounds like we have similar tastes. :-)

[@daveking9393]

@@mickeyhank some tastes do overlap for sure. I think Tommy Bolin deserves more attention. Brought both the James Gang and Deep Purple back from the brink while putting his own solo work on hold. Then overdosing at only 25 with the stigma overhanging the event that if proper actions were taken earlier in the night he might have lived... so sad... Not sure if you've checked out Dicon Dissectional (Daniel) or JustJP (Justin), I've sent them both Tommy's second album Private Eyes. They are worth checking out. I Still have not found Teaser on vinyl, but I am looking. I enjoy every song on private eyes. I look forward to the day this channel stumbles upon Tommy.... So much to enjoy!

[@mickeyhank]

@@daveking9393 Well said Dave! Sounds like you too have read the great book about Tommy called “Touched by Magic” by Greg Prato? If not you should definitely read it. It’s a collection of interviews the author put together of people who knew Tommy well. Amazing book and details that last night in Miami really well. Infuriating and as you say very mysterious/suspicious. I still remember buying Teaser when it came out on vinyl. I lent it a college roommate and never got it back but that’s OK. That whole Teaser album is worth reacting to as well. Pretty much everything Tommy did is of high quality. I love all the James Gang stuff as well. Josh here may also want to do “Stratus“ live, under the title “Tommy Bolin and Friends“. Thanks for those tips on other reaction channels who have checked out Tommy. I will definitely look into that. Good work spreading the word about Tommy’s music. 😀

[@daveking9393]

@@mickeyhank Michael you truly go above and beyond. Thank you so much for the information. My limited knowledge comes from the following Watch "Forgotten Fretmasters #6 - Tommy Bolin" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7FlGCKhNeKj6s I ordered the book you referenced from Amazon. Again thanks. Sent it to Daniel and Justin as well. Sorry for any confusion. I recommend them as having top notch reaction channels. Justin has done two Tommy tunes. One before and one after I sent them Private Eyes. Daniel just received the LP last week. Doubt he will get to anything soon, so I sent the book. Daniel and Justin are avid readers so that book might spark some interest... All the best!

[@dariopercali8884]

All D P was a very great musicians...best of the best !!!!!

[@Ilikeryche]

Ian paice is such a driving force behind the band. Check out Space Truckin' , Fireball, Lazy or just about any song.

[@revjim123]

This band basically can be broken down into 4 lineups, this lineup is known as mark 2, with Ian Gillian on vocals and Roger Glover on bass. When they left David Coverdale joined the band on vocals, along with Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals. This lineup is known as Mark 3. Ian Paice is the drummer, him and Jon Lord are the only members to be in the band during all the lineup changes during their glory years.

[@sicmuvva11]

Josh it is a Hammond organ through a Marshall amp. John Lord is brilliant,Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Ian Paice drums, Roger Glover bass all craftsmen. Brilliant! Space truckin’ is great any thing on Machine head or Fireball!

[@Rockford03]

Played the keybords through an AMP👍👍👍🤘🤘🇦🇺

[@johnathandavis3693]

I always LOVED the synth effect at 2:43 - 2:55. We had this 8-Track tape back in the 70's, and wore it out. The joke was that synth line sounded like taking a big bong-rip😋 Thanks for doing this Josh - you are the real- deal...

[@philt4346]

That is aaalll Hammond organ baby

[@Codex7777]

That's not a synth... :)

[@your_local_dummy4137]

That was Jon Lord on the Hammond he played so very fast one of the very best. He could match the speed of the others on guitar. Machine Head was the first album I bought while in high school and Deep Purple my favorite band. This is an awesome song and Machine Head an iconic album. I really like your reactions and more Deep Purple please, Space Truckn', Women from Toyoko, Black Night, Smoke on the Water, Lazy, Burn, Fireball and Super Trouper for starters.

[@SASTORM]

Yep, Space Truckin'

Ian Paice still shreds drums even though he's in his 70s. Since you're a drummer, check out The Mule, Space Truckin, both off Made in Japan, the studio version will give you a better idea of Paicey

[@bradb3248]

Hi Josh, Roger Glover is the bassist here. Ian Gillian, Ian Paice and Glover are in the group today. David Coverdale was after Gillian, left and Ian Gillian later returned. They could never get along with Ritchie Blackmore.

[@yambo59]

theres a great live performance video of this, even better

Awesome reaction..now check out space Truckin from there machine Head album.FIRE..you’ll love the groove.and it’s roger glover on bass.

The record will contain a total of 11 songs, eight on the main CD and three more tracks on a bonus CD. Additionally, the whimsical album artwork was designed by Yes long-term collaborator Roger Dean.

[@philt4346]

It is difficult to follow the bass, some players just have the knack of hiding in the groove, you don't even know what they're doing. Walter Becker was the same in Steely Dan, Rutger Gunnarsson in the Abba band, Paul McCartney when he was in that band. Wow they're all elites. Yea well Roger Glover does that thing.

[@r.awilliams9815]

John Paul Jones was the same way. For instance, nobody talks about the bass line in When The Levee Breaks, yet it is such a monster groove, menacing and relentless. You can hear the water coming.

[@philt4346]
