These stories are invaluable to fans. I enjoy listening to them every time.

[@Frazzo]

Absolutely. I've been a DP fan since the release of "In Rock" in 1970. This unique history has finally been presented by non other than the Chief himself.

[@IronMan-kz1ut]

Love hearing these stories, Shades of Deep Purple album I played the shit out of it, I still have it. Being a drummer I loved how Ian played the drums love em to this day. Thanks Ian for all the great drumming you were an still are an inspiration to me.

[@ronaldwilson9525]

I love hearing Ian’s stories. I come here for them. And I’m a bass player. P.S. I love Roger Glover too.

[@michaeljoseph9722]

As a bassist you gotta love Ian for how precise and steady he holds any groove he's given. With Roger it's the same thing ! Not easy to play "Black Night" or "Highway Star" all through !

[@mauricelaidler4789]

Ronald Wilson ditto.

[@juliandominique0912]

Thank you Mr. Paice, I love to hear those stories. Actually I'm impressed that you remember all of these little details after all those years. 🙂🙂

[@riccardotomadrumtribe3261]

I love Ian's stories, and the beginning of Deep Purple, My band, their name is Deel First, and the first album is called: The Beginning of Deep First.

[@ovaisnaqvi1965]

The first Purple managers were Ron Hire, Tony Edwards and John Coletta, hence HEC Enterprises Ltd, a name early fans remember on all the 33 1/3 vinyl labels on early and later Mk II & III Purple records. There’s clearly a chequered history with them, including between Coverdale and Coletta into the early Whitesnake era until 1982. The only one who appeared to be held in any regard was Tony Edwards, who went on to manage Toyah Wilcox and set up a successful record label doing official releases of West End musical shows. When Purple reformed in 1984, they engaged Rainbow manager, Bruce Payne through Thames Talent. He was also involved with the band in the 1970s.

[@grobbler1]

Gillan and Glover were fairly scornful of Coletta and Edwards in interviews. Probably due to their treatment as 'the new boys' and Gillan was also quite suspicious of the money situation. A 'muddy pool' I think he called it. Ron Hire was apparently imprisoned for VAT fraud as he went out of the picture fairly quickly. Colin Hart's book seems to suggest that Payne was effectively managing Purple towards the end in the 70's, as the group seemed to think Coletta and Edwards were never around. Payne is no longer managing Purple, which only came to light when Whoosh! was released and management shown on the cover was by Matthew Clark.

[@ovaisnaqvi1965]

@@grobbler1 good stuff. Yes, Bruce Payne may have retired. Then there’s the whole Deep Purple Overseas Limited and HEC Enterprises fraud case of a couple of years ago. They seem to have lost £2M+ or so just there....Matthew Clark is listed at SIRCL Limited as a “Royalties Consultant” and looks like an accountant as opposed to a band manager. I suspect they’ve looked at a whole area of their royalties and brought in a specialist to administer it all. Sounds like they want to straighten some stuff out.

[@RG-ja34sep]

What a pleasure to listen to a rock music legend chat to us about those good old days! Thank you Sir!!

[@piotrcienciala2418]

It's amazing to listen to that kind of stories! I have been a huge fan of DP since the release of The Battle Rages On - to say I was impressed would be an understatement. At that time I was 9 or 10 years old and even today I find your drumming in A Twist In A Tale something truly amazing and I couldn't (and still can't) figure out how can you do this fast thing on a snare drum :-) I am not too sure what would be the best way to contact you, but I would like to ask a question and would be delighted if I could have even a very short answer. Do you ever listen to Russian classical music or do you find it inspiring? All the best to you, Ian!

[@robertevans2143]

Thanks for the stories. Still my favorite band of all time.

[@thegroovetube2316]

I love listening to your stories Ian, because Deep Purple were, and still are, the greatest musical influence on me as a bass player. I played in many bands with some great memories and stories too. I am now 67 years old and still want to let it rip and rock 'till I drop!

[@patm5086]

Hey Ian enjoy your stories. Saw deep purple at pirates world on seventy two.i still remember the show. Best band I've ever seen to this day.i hope you remember that gig.it was in Dania Florida located between miami and ft lauderdale.hope you are doing well across the pond.im a guitar player and have worked with londoner keyboard player pete solley who did a short stint with ritchie's 🌈. Pete played with procol harum. Killer on the hammond. Do you know pete? All the best Pat Maguire

[@truepurple3760]

I love your stories, Ian! I read a long time ago somewhere that Deep Purple was Ritchie’s grandmother’s favorite song. Please continue to enlighten us!

[@hs.studio1803]

Ian , i love your videos , Big salute from austria !!

[@chrisegbertky]

So much fun to hear about the beginning of DP!

[@blackmore7777fan]

That's funny as hell about their first time in Denmark. Musicians and dogs in the back of the van!

[@stupask3834]

WOW I live around the corner from Deeves Hall Farm. I never knew this,so interesting. : )

[@amnony1]

Deep Purple is my life. Had only 2 years without it.. thank god i was 2 years old when DP established.

[@kikiu2619]

With all the bandmembers in Purple, it was indeed a roundabout.

[@danielfisch389]

Ritchie continued that concept in Rainbow...

[@ricardosavva5675]

Legendary tales 👌 can you do a wee bit on child in time? Brilliant song! Thanks guys

[@joejurick4263]

Always a pleasure to hear you!

[@Mokum1961]

I love the fact that the bar looks like one in an old (English) theatre/venue.

[@gordy3714]

Great stuff Ian, I did hear Jon Lord say once Deep Purple was a particular brand of Acid going around in the USA at the time.

[@guitarlicksntricks]

Fascinating insight! Thank you Ian 🙏🏻🤟🏻🎸

[@ReneAlexisPenalozaMunoz]

Great story. Thanks mr. Paice.

[@MrProgKeys]

Fantastic,Cheers Ian.

[@RG-ja34sep]

So fascinating listening to Ian recounting these stories. I mhave died and gone to heaven, thank you Ian, you are a true legend and yet so humble! Take care, best regards Rob.

Paice 🥁 the best 🤟. fã Paice Brasil 🇧🇷👍

[@stephenhutson8075]

So here's my take on the whole Roundabout thing, Chris Curtis' vision always seems to me to be told in a casual, almost laughable manner as though the whole idea was overly influenced by late sixties psychedelia and the surrounding drug culture of the time. However, let's be honest about it, Deep Purple DID become something of a Roundabout over the next half century or so with various musicians jumping on and off and sometimes back on again. So, perhaps the idea wasn't quite as zany as it first appeared to be.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Thank you Sir, I appreciate the stories. My first music purchase was "Made In Japan" Album.

[@mgiurgeu]

Ian, this is so nice of you to do. Great stuff (for all of us Purple fans)

[@orig66Super]

Machine Head is my go-to tape for cruising around in my Van!

[@iainholmes2735]

Good story. That lager reminds me of 'Ice Cold in Alex'. Cheers Ian.

[@zumb42]

Like that frozen beer at the end. Cheers!

[@Cosmic-Mick]

Good stuff. Thanks Ian. Cheers 🍻

[@jimbradshaw4]

As always, thank you for the upload. Just had a thought, if only somebody had taken a photo of the band behind the wire mesh in the dog van, that'd have been one THE iconic rock pics of all time!

[@tasminoben686]

Ian, thank you for your Story. I was 15, when i saw in our local 'Schallplattenladen, in my litte Hometown, close to Hamburg the Cover of DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK. Your Music was like a Hammer! But i was only one Time in a DEEP PURPLE Konzert. 2012 in the Hamburg Arena. And it's so funny, to see a Arena full of old, fat, hairless Men, singing happy as it could SMOKE ON the WATER! LOL Thank you for the Music of my Life! Be careful in this awful Times Ben

[@bytoriasnowdoggy]

Thanks so much, Dig it! Peace.

[@pl2049]

Awesome story 🥁

[@HenritheHorse]

I've heard the 1939 version of Deep Purple by Artie Shaw and thought if the song was the origin of the bands name!

Would love to hear about the Playboy After Dark Episode.

My friend Ian Paice, very interesting stories,you have to put the translation into italian,thank you! Ciao 🇮🇹Maria

From humble beginnings........mmm... sounds like a name for a band?

Of course Denmark was not in the EEC either.

[@windsurfer49]

"Good Job you were all "Clean Living" Gentlemen", Could have been "Sniffer dogs in the cages", Never mind Deep Purple" more like "Deep S - - T! .

Is a "sniffer" dog a stray? Lol! Never heard that

[@patm5086]

I don't know

[@somerville_official8120]

Thanks for uploading! If you have a second, we uploaded a cover of Van Halen. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you would check it out. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)

[@kangooroo1]

To me, Deep Purple started with ''In Rock''..

[@cardice3193]

I have the utmost respect for Ian as a musician, but storytelling is not his forte, it's sooo painful listening to him droning on in that monotone voice, making a 2 minute anecdotal tale seemingly last an eternity.

[@cardice3193]

@KZbin Acct Uh-oh, sounds like somebody's poor little feelings got hurt ?!!

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@cardice3193 It's more the pain of reading moronic comments in youtube... once more 🤦‍♂️
