Let's go!)

[@AGDinCA]

I was hoping he would acknowledge the similarities between Stones and the Deep Purple song, Stormbringer.

[@aliveandkickingohyea]

What similarities???

[@AGDinCA]

@@aliveandkickingohyea You can really hear it in Stones from about 2:40 - 3:15, including key change and the sound of the guitar solo. Stones - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5fGZJp4qLJpeJI

[@Lukas-pk3vh]

@@AGDinCA It's more just a rithym thing, in stones it goes on a much larger scale. While it has something that ressambles it I doubt it was something concious. But Deep Purple probably is one of his many inspirations

[@ALMStudios]

Interesting

[@vero9177]

before I did read the reactions (and yours too), I already had this flash of a thought at 1 point: Stormbringer of Deep Purple. Because I listened sooo many times to Stormbringer and also the latest version by David Coverdale/Whitesnake. So you're not the only one. Sorry, just saw this interview only now and not sooner.
