[@colinpumpernickel2605]

Paice's drumming on this is superb. How he plays so intricately and yet still compliments the song without ever showing off is beyond me.

[@FishpondsLady]

I appreciated it too. Deep Purple are so good. My partner Ken and I bonded over this song. Ken was just about old enough to remember it (1964). I'm 1976 but saw this on TOTP2 at age 13 and I was smitten by all of them! Ian Gillan is still lovely today. Ken lets me fancy him (he loves Penelope Wilton so fair dos). The first song I learned to play on my own Fender Stratocaster was Smoke on the Water, that was in 1989, and I still have that guitar today (The cat likes to play with it). I wish I were back in Birmingham in 1989!

The Lurkers did a great version of " I don't need to tell her" in 1978. Punk and rock bands did edgier versions, that sound better. Denise Williams did a good live version of her 1977 hit .

[@intkxzc459]

Ritchie Blackmore, one of the greatest innovators of great guitar riffs! He never got the recognition he deserved! As a young guitarist back in 60's and early 70's he was one of the guitarist I wanted to learn how to play like. I can't believe they just inducted Deep Purple into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year? Wow man, where was their heads at? I am 65 now but I still play purple and by learning his style it help me to want to learn tabs and read music better. took 20 years to get into my head but when my teenage boys came home from lessons playing things exactly like they sounded on recordings I got interested. God gave us music and not just pop or country but also hard rock! He gave us thunder and lightning didn't He? I have gotten put down a lot over years being a preacher and loving hard rock and some heavy metal but it is really sophisticated intricate music or if not everyone that's picks up a guitar could play it. Thank you Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore for your style!

[@68blues]

Robert Presnell ...Are you serious????? The simplicity of Blackmores "chops" are unbeleivable. For instance, what is the first guitar break a learner tries to master? Correct...Smoke on the Water. The intro to Black Night isn't much more complicated is it? Try some John McGlaughlin riffs, that is damn hard!!!!! Get back to me when you do.✌🏻️

[@JokersWild70]

In all fairness to McCloughlin, Hendrix wasn't a huge admirer of his (yea, I know he wasn't around then), but Hendrix WAS a huge admirer of Ritchie's. It isn't so much the main riffs themselves that are complicated, its the notes that he plays in the breaks and solos that are amazing. And as far as this joke called the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" (what a piece of shit that is), who cares if Purple or anyone else takes a long time by these fucktards to be acknowledged? Ritchie didn't turn about because he could give fuck all about awards. He never has cared about them at any point.

[@intkxzc459]

I'm just saying that when I first heard Purple, I was about 15 or 16 and Hush came out and as a young guitarist I thought the sound was great. Yes, a lot of his riffs are simple but the way he played them and what he was doing in the studio was really good back in the 60's. Yes I play some John McGlaughlin and they are hard but with tabs they can be figured but I concentrate on my own riffs more now that I'm older. At 15 I was in a band in Ohio and we started playing clubs when I was 16-17 and we had to play what was popular but by 1969 we played a lot of album songs and Purple had some really good stuff for stoned hippies and drunks at the clubs. The reason I said Blackmore was and innovator was at the time he had no digital effects, not even in the studio and he made the sound that a lot of guitarist liked and that his public liked. No he was not a tapper or speed freak on the guitar but his licks were very good and most of the time unique. Besides there are no you are better than so and so and she or he's better than you! They are all good in their own way and different also. God bless and keep on pickin' brother. One more thing, I've heard bluegrass pickers burn the guitar up on an acoustic. I don't know if you ever listen bluegrass but google Tone Rice or Tommy Emmanuel or Rob Ickes /Trey Hensley and they are just a few of the great bluegrass pickers. I also have played the banjo, dobro, mandolin fiddle and few more instruments that are not real easy to play at least at a med. level.

[@intkxzc459]

You are so right about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Blackmore broke some ground when it come to riffs and sound. Sorry haven't replied back but have been in the hospital and pretty sick for about a month. God bless and have a great 2017.

[@standingwave73]

JokersWild45 Of course Hendrix and most of the guitarists being mentioned were blues based. McLaughlin clearly isn't. As far as sheer technique and technical proficiency is concerned McLaughlin is almost in his own universe. He cando pretty much anything that's ever Been done but few can match or even keep up with him. I know that seems like a lot of praise but he deserves every bit and more.

My band used to rehearse at Hanwell Community Center in West London in 1970/71, as did this version (Mk. 2) of Deep Purple. As we were packing up to go, the only member to acknowledge us was Ritchie. ln retrospect, maybe he had a minor falling out with the others, as he was sat outside by himself when he spoke to me. We exchanged a couple of words and then their Limo pulled up and they all rode off into the depths of West London . . . . .
