treeduck Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Feb 10 2008, 03:58 PM) Love Purple, with a particular fondness for the Coverdale/Hughes line up. We should see Stormbringer & Come Taste The Band re-released this year. There's some great live CDs' doing the rounds, the best 2 are Live In London(Kilburn), and Live In Paris(La Derniere Seance). I'd love remastered versions of Stormbringer and CTTB, I heard Glenn Hughes has been involved with the Stormbringer remaster and supposedly coming out in the spring... Talking of Purple live albums I picked up a great Mark II (regrouped) Live in Stuttgart from 1993, definitely must be the best one from that era, interesting tracklisting too, four tracks from the unpopular The Battle Rages On, luckily they're the good tracks from that, also something that later turned up later on Ritchie's Rainbow album Stranger in us All... http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5619/94fc8b5696d3f62b4c06b2fwj9.jpg CD1: 1.

ILSnwdog Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I love Blackmore's style. Perfect Strangers is one of my all time favorite albums. And how about "Woman From Tokyo"? I love that tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Back in my Purple fog. Listening to Live In Denmark 1972. Those myriad Purple Records/Connoisseur live albums! Each one is special. Paicey & Lord are really something else on this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Princess Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) I love Deep Purple but as far as I'm conerned they have always been a classic rock band, nothing metal about them whatsoever. I saw the Ian Gillan Band a few times at the Apollo in the 80s (Glory Road and Trouble tours) but only finally got to see Deep Purple about year and a half ago. superb concert and Steve Morse was amazing. Favourite Purple songs Pictures of Home, When a Blind Man Cries. Knocking at your Back Dor,Sweet Child inTime (which used to be my Ebay ID .) Seeing them in November again, canny wait.

Sonatine Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 DP, has always been a fine rock band. But I personally believe they had their peak back in the early 70s with Glover,Gillan & Blackmore, Paice & Lord Classic songs such as "Smoke on the water", "Child in Time", "Strange Kind of Woman", and "Woman from Tokyo" still feel fresh even now. Great days: great music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on some of their music was straight ahead rock with some psychedelic and some proto-prog elements, and and they had a lot of progressive elements in their music in the 70's as well, even though they weren't really prog rock by the usual definitions. They also weren't metal, even though a lot of heavy metal fans loved them (similar to Rush in that regards). Deep Purple was a hard rock band.

Xanadu Princess Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Just heard Sweet Child in Time on the radio about 10 minutes ago - what a cracker of a song. I know its called Child in Time but I always called it Sweet Child in Time - Gillan definitely one of my alltime fav singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Truly special band, not given enough credit. Too many press inches wasted on Ritchie acting the bollocks and that song. Even in the pre-Gillan/Glover days they were releasing great albums, as Goob stated earlier in the thread. All of their albums are worth owning up to and including Come Taste The Band. Most of the stuff from 84 onwards is pretty good too, Slaves & Masters is piss poor though. And I'm seeing Jon Lord and the RTE Concert Orchestra play Concerto for Group and Orchestra on Thursday night!!!!! Woo, and indeed, hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Princess Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I really don't like that song at all now - it bores me rigid these days - but have to say when they played when I saw them last year, the whole place erupted and went mental - and I like it then PS And I just know its gonny come on the radio within the next 30 mins cos I'm talking aboot it.

Margana Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have always been a fan of Deep Purple and Rainbow. Preferred the 70's line up and albums. Always thought that Ian Paice was greatly underrated as a drummer. Listen to the drumming on Burn as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Paicey is super and one of my favorites. But it is obvious that he does not practice anymore. He does not nearly have the speed and the chops he had 35 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Jesus H, they were fabulous last week in Cork, Glover in particluar. Anyhow, my 4 year old has decided his favourite song of all time is Smoke On The Water by Deep Hippo. No amount of badgering or bribery will make him say Purple. Kids are a hoot.

And the outro to 'Flight of the Rat'. With the possible exceptions of Palmer and Peart, no other rock drummer could make a drum solo as exciting or as interesting as Ian. Deep Purple were obviously a progressive rock band. Edited December 12, 2010 by Silas Lang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 QUOTE (mikeroach113 @ Jan 27 2007, 02:09 AM) i'd like to check out that album Ian Gillan did with Black Sabbath (1983's Born Again).
