Best Deep Purple album & song

[Oded]

Don't you dare say S _ _ _ _ on the fucking W _ _ _ _ !
Best album is, of course, Fireball- I agree with Sir I. Gillan on this, even if no one else in Mk. II does! 'Machine Head'= made most $, but NOT the best one!
Best DP song- Speed King, Space Truckin', Rat Bat Blue, or the title track to Fireball. Maybe even No, No, No!

 

[Bambi]

they're all ballix

 

[Thortyir]

My father always listen to "Fireball"... So I guess this one is the bast!

 

[Cerulean]

That's easy...
Child in Time

they're all ballix

be polite in your life.

 

[Oded]

Thortyir, you're lucky to have a father who listened to bands like DP. Just imagine the record collection you can take from!
My parents were Beatles freaks, but were frightened away by the heavy & psychedelic stuff...
And yes, Bambi, be polite! Do yourself a favor- go out and get one of DP's records. You'll find it has more lasting power than the gothsynthshite you're listening to currently.

Who Do We Think We Are

CLASSIC

hehehe just kidding

 

[Mick Moss]

Actually yeah Fireball was always my favourite. I bought the entire back catalogue over about a year on battered old vinyl when i was 17. Concerto for Group and Orchestra was a nice touch as was Machine Head. Who Do We Think We Are is utter bollocks, and I think Coverdale and Hughes brought some balls into the group - I love that era as much as I love the mk2 band - maybe even more. The last one without Ritchie Blackmore is a dead good album 'Come Taste The Band' - Getting Tighter rocks.

As for anything with JLT in, yous can just fuck off - he gayed up Rainbow and he gayed up Purple too.

 

[Oded]

Agreed about JLT.
As much as it pains me to say it, 'Burn' with Mr. David "Bird's Nest Perm" Coverdale is a great slab of groove-ridden mid 70s rock. I guess since he hadn't formed Whitesnake yet, we're off the hook...
It's funny you hate WDWTWA-- I am currently trying to GET myself to like that one! I do think it has 3 or 4 excellent tracks, but the rest is subpar. "Mahh woman from To-kee-yo!!!!!!!!"
The very thin link between Deep Purple and Anathema: Don Airey, who recently replaced Sir John Lord, once re-worked an Anathema b-side/extra for one of their albums...

 

[Mick Moss]

I know,

posh gets

 

[Bambi]

was don airey mixed up with ozzy at soem stage??
book of talesyn is the best btw

I'm off to listen to some gothsynth now heheheheh

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

+ 40 for gothsynth

 

[deadair]

i... i can't believe my eyes...

you are totally taking this thread seriously?

w..wow

 

[Oded]

Iowan,
There is to be NO levity WHATSOEVER where Deep Purple is concerned.
I am Deeply serious about this. I am in such earnest I'm turning Purple in the face.
All must- and WILL- bow at the Lord's altar. John Lord's altar, that is.
Ian Gillan is the archetypal rock front man. None of the prissy poncing that plagued music in the 80s-- only a blues-damaged rasp and a supremely confident swagger here.
Roger Glover- a TALENTED metal bassist. How about that, for a change! A chap who actually constructs real basslines, and doesn't simply double the rhythm guitar.
Ian Paice- best drummer in heavy rock, hands down.
Ritchie Blackmore- if you don't know anything about him, you don't know anything about hard rock, metal, and the various subgenres of metal that formed in the 80s and 90s.
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURPLE

I bought the Making Of Machine Head DVD, and you'd better run out and buy it. NOW.

I always thought Anathema should cover a Purple tune. Danny's lead style would mesh well with Blackmore's blueprint; I'm sure Les would enjoy going mad on the electric organ; and Vincent or Darren could try their hand at sounding like Sir Gillan.

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPLE!

 

[Cerulean]

Darren left the band some time ago.

Woh.

 

[Oded]

I know, but for me he'll always be 'the' Anathema vocalist.
