[@markbranch682]

Deep Purple aren't metal. They're purely a hard rock band with massive blues influence. They also have a middle eastern vibe Blackmore threw in there. Led Zeppelin isn't metal. They're a blues/rock/folk band that evolved from that into The Greatest Hard Rock band of all time. Sabbath played heavy metal. They were one of the first, but by 1972, that were the ONLY heavy metal band. For most of the 70's. Yeah, a blues influence for sure, but they started heavy metal

[@TheBlackQueen]

Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, indeed one of the greatest guitarist from the 1970s! He also famously founded the band Rainbow, of which launched Ronnie James Dio's career! Blackmore was notable for including Neo-Classical styles in his solos and played with Arpeggiation, of which many guitarists in Metal took and built upon. He's very influential!

[@sanneberends8502]

My dad loves this band and it is the first band that started using the organ after this band. Many bands used it too. One time we bought tickets for my parents to go see them. My mom and dad thought that they were to old for it. But they enjoyed it so much.

[@BlazinRiver1]

Lay Down Stay Down has one of the all time lead solos....Blackmore is the Goat imo.

Ian Gillen, the lead singer, was the original singing voice of Jesus on the album version of Jesus Christ Superstar, mostly on the strength of his ability to hit those high notes.

[@greggpangle3821]

That's how I was introduced to music. I'm 53, been playing guitar and singing since I was 6.

[@mikeb2586]

Cracked me up when Buddy says "That guy's got a voice"! I'm thinking: yeah, just wait for it, pal! That's Ian Gillen - you are not going to believe what that man could do!

[@BritIronRebel]

When he mentioned Robert Plant like vocals, I thought.... Naaa, way better than Plant. One of THE greatest voices in rock!

[@radicaladz]

@@BritIronRebel He's certainly a tighter, cleaner, more disciplined voice than Plant. Plant's voice is/was raw and powerful in a way few in his genre could match, but it didn't have a lot of control behind it; Gillen knows how to hold back, not blow out his vocal chords and save it for the big one.

[@dannymartinez9371]

Yes. Producers originally wanted Robert Plant to sing Jesus until they heard this song. Another fact is that Gillan recorded all his parts alone without having the benefit of hearing the other singers. He recorded everything in one afternoon, according to his autobiography.

[@AGDinCA]

Deep Purple! Love them so much; they have been my favorite since I was 14! Fun fact: Deep Purple has put out at least one top ten album in each of the past 7 decades, including the 2020s!

[@jaydale9097]

Ah yes , people actually playing instruments, Love to see youngster's jaws drop when they see it. I miss the 70's.

[@shibolinemress8913]

No autotune back then, just pure talent. I'm so glad you picked this 1970 live version. It's my favourite, way above the album version (though that's also great). I've heard that back in the day, TV audiences were instructed not to react much until the end of the songs when on camera. Though here I suppose they were all moved to stunned silence and tears, as I was when I first heard it. In 1970 there was not only the Vietnam War (which Gillan composed this in protest against) but among many other sad things the Kent State Massacre, where the Ohio National Guard fired into a group of unarmed students in a peaceful anti-war demonstration, tragically wounding dozens and killing four: three demonstrators and one passerby who was just walking to class when a stray bullet hit. 😢 This song also makes me think of that. It's a timeless classic that is sadly relevant to every war or crazed shooting incident ever. The album version may not have been released as a single, or it didn't get much air play due to it's length. Slow buildups and beat changes/ progressions were very common at the time. They felt like chapters in a narrative. Songs had time to breath and take listeners along on the journey. I miss that in today's Pop/Rock music! I've heard that Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were considered the founders of Heavy Metal, but maybe you knew that already. Thanks for a great review! 👏😁 I've liked and subbed! PS: Fun fact: Ian Gillan sang the role of Jesus on the original "Jesus Christ, Superstar" album. And last but not least, please review Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Voodoo Child: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZisc2SFgZVsfpI SRV is the GOAT if you ask me.

Very true. My favourite as well the cameras concentrate on the individuals not supposedly smart arse graphics.

[@TheBlackQueen]

Deep Purple were one of the three founding bands of Heavy Metal, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Those three were considered the Unholy Trinity of 1970s Heavy Metal. However, they are often the underdog of the three. Whereas Led Zeppelin popularised the Arena-stomping guitars, bass and drums of Metal, and Black Sabbath founded the heaviness of the guitar and the lyrical elements of Metal, Deep Purple brought the professionalism of the instrumentation and musicianship, while mainly working behind the scenes to help develop the genre. As I said in previous comments, Ian Gillan eventually joined Black Sabbath and Ritchie Blackmore founded another 1970s Heavy Metal band Rainbow, of which launched Dio's career. This band had such a wide impact on Metal, and yet they aren't as spoken about in comparison to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Unfortunately, it was likely Smoke On The Water that was responsible for it. While it is still a great song and has more than just the riff, it was the riff that became such a big hit and, though it was often the starting riff for many guitarists when they first picked up the instrument, the whole band would often be regulated to just that one riff. It's the most popular and yet most simple 0-3-5 riff (Notes played in the order of the open fret, 3rd fret, and 5th fret on the guitar) and many memes and inside jokes were built off of it alone. Because of all of this, it became a song of ridicule for how simple the riff (not the entire song) was, and thus those who hadn't head any other songs from them would regulate them to just that riff. So in a way, Smoke On The Water was the best and the worst thing to happen to Deep Purple.

[@HBC423]

I'd say Jimi Hendrix is the founder of heavy metal

[@collinnicholasns]

I have to agree smoke on the water is a good song, it's far too overplayed, especially when there are masterpieces like this in their catalog.

Every sound came from real live instruments (no sampling) in those days! The Hammond B3 organ, with the add on Leslie speaker unit, has been a favorite of musicians since it was introduced in the 1930s. Was a tube based organ used by most of the top bands and a workhorse of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman and John Lord (3 of the best organists ever).

Ritchie Blackmore, is definitely one of the greats on guitar. Ritchie was also the guitar player on Rainbow's "Stargazer", which you two reacted to some months back.

The song is based on a true story, by the way. Greets from Germany! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Omq2ahadyFo7c

I would not put LZ in the same cat as Deep Purple....LZ folded after JB left this world(If John P Jones had died it would have been the same..no more LZ). DP on the other hand had so many talented members it could go on without lead singer and bassist and be as popular as before. Machine Head and Burn make my case.

@@BlazinRiver1 and where is your proof that LZ would be different if they carried in with a different Drummer??? They hold the World Record for most Ticket requests, without Bonham.... so......

Loved your reaction to this. I first heard the song in 1970 or around that time and have always considered it a masterpiece. My favourite Deep Purple song. Back in the early1970s in the UK Deep Purple were considered to be in the same league as Led Zeppelin. When talking about that genre of music back then (although at that time we hadn't actually heard of the word genre and even if we did we wouldn't have known what it meant!) Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin were all talked about in the same breath. In the early 1970s, in my experience, they were thought to command similar status. Uriah Heep were another (under rated) band that were often considered to be of similar regard.

Yes an Yes, their were so brilliant, the audience had to stay still and quite as they were recording it .

It was the 60's. Welcome to young people's anger and disgust at Vietnam. This was on one of the first albums I ever owned. I was a child listening to this not realizing the impact it had on me to this day.

The studio version is great. The band is great, they were around before Black Sabbath and were one of the most influential Rock Bands In Rock.

One of the strongest bands for technical competence across all members who could also totally rock out. Richie Blackmore left and formed Rainbow, who you may have also heard of (with Dio as the original vocalist). Edit: also one of the great anti-Vietnam War songs.

This particular line up of musicians in Deep Purple, to me, represents the apex of the qualities, of the top bands of that era. I hear Zeppelin, The Who, Cream, Yes, Sabbath in this WITHOUT actually thinking they ripped them off per say, but by being influenced by and creating their own signature style and sound through what they’ve done before. You got rock, hard rock, metal, prog, opera and songwriting like the Beatles or Stones. Just totally F’n epic to me.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤
