How come they were inducted this late! Most of rockers in their junior copied Deep Purple and grew their dreams. Earlier Hall of Fame joiners should all stand up now.
I remember the first time I heard Purple me and my friend were riding are bikes ,there was this dodge van and it was playing smoke on the water ,that was over 35 years
Ian Paice has said that Roger is the closest thing to the perfect pure bass guitarist as you can get, he said he's never seen or played with another bass player who can slot into that groove and hold it for as long as needed, and no other bass player has afforded him as much room to do his thing (drumming) as Rodger. Musicians and people with a high music iq will understand what Ian's meaning here !
I think we can say that bassist are underated in general. Remember John Deacon Queen, author of many Queen's hits. Who, except fans, remember him? Not too many... great bassist, skilled musician and composer
That was so awesome how Steve Morse and the whole band honored Blackmore by playing the Smoke solo note for note from the original Machine Head version. That's class...
Better than Ritchie, he always played a different lead every night. Only the great Ritchie Blackmore can get away with that.😂 The exception highway star. He played that one pretty close.
ONE OF THE BEST ROCK ANTHEMS I HAVE HEARD IN A WHILE.A VERY GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. DOC MAGOO FROM “SAVAGE BLUE” RETIRED 🇺🇸 USAF PJ VIETNAM ERA JEFF Z-MAN
It is deserved that Purple is inducted into the hall of fame. A pity that after so many years there are still the egos and personal differences that prevented ALL the Purples.Evans,Simper, Blackmore,Hughes,Coverdale,Turner and the beloved Lord and Bolin deceased may they rest in peace. Nothing prevents everyone from being there, only that Gillan did not want it to happen... I say it from the respect I have for Ian.I would have been nice to see them all playing Smoke and the water.
Well , Steve Morse you’re the Man. This original solo sounds so warm and cozy, at bringing so many good feelings... Never heard it before even from Ritchie, I mean original pattern of guitar solos. Steve great musician and he definitely deserved to be in HoRF with Deep Purple
Too late. Purple is the history of rock, of the best, of the purest, unreachable. The history of music has passed from Purple. Too bad not everyone recognizes it. Thank you Purple
I wouldn't say Deep Purple was in the elite class, but they were at the top of the very good. They should have been elected a lot sooner than they did.
@@joe22589 agree that until 1975 they were stratospheric and then something changed. But the way of listening to music and therefore of making it has also changed. But what do you think of: Dead or alive, Bad attitude, Hey cisco, Perfect strengers, Knocking 'at your back door, The battles regis on, Contact lost, Never a word, Doing it tonaight. I would say that they are not bad and then who has been able to do better? Purple, purple and then purple again
Deep purple members age during rock n roll induction:- Ian paice- 68 yrs Ian Gillan - 71 yrs Steve Morse - 61 yrs Roger glover- 71 yrs. You know what I'm saying.
Unfortunately the R&RHOF didn't induct Morse and Airey, even though this line up is the longest running line up of this amazing band, far more important than Evens, Coverdale and Hughes, yet these were inducted, and the R&RHOF wonders why the public has lost all respect for it.
I saw Purple on 30th Sept 1972 at the (then) Brixton Sundown (now the Academy) in London, just after the release of the "Made in Japan" LP. WHAT a gig! My Brother and I have a long-running dispute about who was the better, Zep or Purple......in my mind, there was no finer band than Purple at that time. I finally decided at that gig, and watching Ian Paice intensely all night night, that I REALLY wanted to play drums - I only achieved that 6 years later, and I'm still rubbish!!!!!!! Cheers guys - thanks for the memories.
If anyone has any doubt about that, they should have walked into the guitar section of a music store for a year or two after Smoke On The Water came out.
Those young people out there in Rockland and have been brought up mainly on zep. listen to Deep purple in rock. That is what rock is. Just listen to the blistering intro to speed king.
Just so people know these two points here: 1) Jon Lord had passed several years before this event and was replaced by Don Airey as Jon wanted Deep Purple to continue on. 2) Ritchie Blackmore was asked to join for this event, but declined when he could not play with the band. If you know this group they have had many incarnations & never rested on the works of any period but continued always to write new material.
Had this cranking through my PA... How Cool is the Desk MiX!!! Oh to be able to be appreciated for good old fashioned Hard Rock in a World full of Muppets!. People just don't understand what they're Missing! Or, What they missed! Rock On All & take care out there in Muppet Land... Jimbo - Australia ⚡🎸 ⚡
they should be inducted right on the opening of the rock and roll hall of fame,not now,still amazing musicians,their perfectionist created all the come and go of their members
Roger Glover GOAT bassist ever..note that he plays the instrument like a guitar instead of bass..adds up that thick ballsy sound. And yeah Purple Rules💜
I am not a biggest fan of rock music but I can tell great music when I hear it. This band is incredible with incredible musicians. I checked out some of the old deep purple footage on utube. Oh my lord!! Richie Blackmore and Jon lord and that drummer!!!.
About time! How many years? How many albums? How many sold out festivals? How many tours? At this point the recognition is about as anticlimactic as you can get.
@Lloyd Bonafide He was playing it as a tribute to Blackmore's version, note for note .....so of course it's boring. Huge upgrade to Satriani, then SM when Blackmore quit cause he couldn't run the band, HIS way. Blackmore's competent, but not exceptional.
@Lloyd Bonafide "that crappy band rainbow". And there's me thinking you were a blackmore fan. His work with rainbow was great during the late 70s and early 80s. His accoustic stuff has some great stuff in it as well.
@@d.r.mathias9648 I'd find it very bizarre if the best selling female artist of all time (And one of the best selling artists full stop) wasn't inducted within a couple of years at most of becoming eligable. I'm not a fan of her personally, but I can't deny the impact and influence on the music scene.
Purple should have been in the Hall of Fame the first year. Ritchie didn't show because they didn't get in when Lord was alive. And Ritchie is right. What a shame! Rick Wakeman said Jon was the Lord of the Hammond. Guess he would know. It should be called the Hall of Shame. And why the hell isn't Steppenwolf in that damn building. And why the hell is it in Cleveland. Should be in Memphis the home of Rock Roll. Memphis put out the best effort and best argument for it being in Memphis. They said they put Deep Purple in because they said Purple Fan's threatened to burn it down. I can see it burning to Burn. The Hall of Fame laughed until she said Buuuurrrnnn!!!!!!!!!!! It's ran by idiots and everyone knows it. They put shit bands in there and not bands that made a difference in the History of Rock. Purple is maybe the most historical band ever for all the milestones. And they we're always the best sounding live.
Kurt Sherrick - Cleveland is where Alan Freed, who got people to call this music "Rock and Roll," had his radio show. So, Cleveland isn't where Rock and Roll started, but the first place white teenagers called this music "Rock and Roll."
But my thing is is that when I see people like the Knopfler brothers and Blackmore not show up at these kind of things, it really bugs me. Like, I could see it if they were young guys, (Like Van Halen's twat ass) but these guys are older, allegedly wise men. They should be doing this out of respect and integrity. I'm 17, and it makes me go for a double take when I look up and see some of my idols and inspirations bailing on shit like this out of personal petty feuds with institution or the Hall. It's not good for appearances, and they obviously know this. So I guess they just don't respect themselves enough to care.
A bunch of suit and tie idiots voting on what bands get in. Should be voted by the fans first and foremost. and the contribution said bands made to rock and roll.
It's partly who you know. Paul McCartney says the way he got Ringo Starr (who was already in as one of The Beatles) in as a solo artist too was by getting Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl to agree with him he should be in. No one was looking out for Lord the same way. The RRHOF guys themselves are incompetent, it's fairly anarchic.
LongLiveThe70s - I agree. Jon had a friend with money who enabled the band to start, and the first guy he called was Ritchie. As soon as Ritchie Blackmore came on board, it was his band. He came up with the name, and the guitar players who followed him have said that "you can always feel Ritchie looking over your shoulder." Such a shame, as Jon Lord was such a sweet guy and the Hall of Fame induction would have meant the most to him. Ave, Jon Lord! Good job, guys!
Yeah it just sucks that he's only been dead for four years. Like, it's not like he's been dead since the 80s or 90s. If they could have only gotten them in like 8-10 years ago.
It was a fucking insult not letting Dave & Glenn play here. As long as I remember, Dave invited in different times, Glover, Lord and Paicey to work with him in Whitesnake...
A shame without Jon and Ritchie My first heavy metal,12 yes old, machine head, finally had the pleasure of seeing them ,front row ,mark 4 ,in front of Jon against the barrier, most awesome!!!I might be old,56, but we had the best music ever
Les hicieron Justicia después de tantos años que realmente se habían ganado ya un lugar en el salón de la fama del Rock, Deep Purple una banda legendaria tan excelente y exitosa como pocas, verdaderos triunfadores mundiales 😊 Larga vida al Rock ...!!! Larga Vida a Deep Purple !!! 😘 Saludos desde México
Honestly i say they DESERVE to be there in Hall of Fame before so many others already in....pity Ritchie Blackmore could not be there, he DESERVE as well, such a giant
Probably the one and only time we could have seen gillan, coverdale and hughes all singing on the same stage, but it didn't happen. Instead we get just another purple performance(though it's good). Why were they left out when they were there?
It is funny how long it took for one of the biggest Rock bands in world to get in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The judges for many decades tried to decide if Deep Purple is good or not! :) :) :)
It saddens me that neither Rod Evans and or Nick Simper didn't appear, I do understand why they decided not to. It's just a shame. I understand why Ritchie Blackmore didn't attend. Not sure why Coverdale and Hughes weren't there. Just seems a shame so few attended. Respect to the late Jon Lord.
Seen them twice on the 2018 tour with Judas Priest. Gillian and Rob still sending shrills up your spine with their vocal capabilities at their age. True Legends. Kick friggin as concerts both times.

It's a crime DP wasn't inducted while Jon Lord was still with us.
Don certainly was a worthy replacement on the organ.
AGREED! RRHOF is so messed up: Chris Squire passed before they inducted YES too... you called it - its truly just criminal.
Yup, that takes the fun out of. Jon was still rock royalty. Rip Jon Douglas
Ian Paice was 68 and still had more energy and groove than most modern drummers here
Did you mean younger drummers? Because Ian is a modern drummer.
STILL does
Le temps passe si vite
About time but Steve Morse got the shaft not getting in with them, he's been in the band 20 yrs & kills it every song.
Cool how humble Steve honored Ritchie's original solo note for note. What a great band!!
That’s brilliant
Glad to see Paicey still drumming. He’s a god.
The only one who's been in the group since the beginning.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy AND Roger Glover too.
@@Papa-o33963 No, Nic Simper was their bass player on their first 3 albums... and Glenn Hughes replaced Glover from '73-'76.
Hes the man
Bonham ain't got nothin on Paice
I'm so very proud of this band. It breaks my heart that the RnRHoF didn't recognize them until after Jon Lord died. Don Airey did him proud.
Michael Soto On the latest two albums, Don has finally clicked with the band. Jon definitely would have been proud.
And this kids, is what REAL music sounds like. About damn time Deep Purple were inducted. My favorite hard rock band. Hands down.
Amen to that Bobby
But what about the bands that are not in ? H of F is a joke
How come they were inducted this late! Most of rockers in their junior copied Deep Purple and grew their dreams. Earlier Hall of Fame joiners should all stand up now.
I remember the first time I heard Purple me and my friend were riding are bikes ,there was this dodge van and it was playing smoke on the water ,that was over 35 years
Couldn’t agree with you more Bobby.
Deep Purple is awesome.
Roger Glover is one of the most underrated Bass Guitarists.....
And producer!
Not by me😀
As a bassist since 1973 I wholeheartedly agree with you!!!! Roger is just that! Sadly, a underrated Bassist that is truly one of the GREATS
Ian Paice has said that Roger is the closest thing to the perfect pure bass guitarist as you can get, he said he's never seen or played with another bass player who can slot into that groove and hold it for as long as needed, and no other bass player has afforded him as much room to do his thing (drumming) as Rodger.

I think we can say that bassist are underated in general. Remember John Deacon Queen, author of many Queen's hits. Who, except fans, remember him? Not too many... great bassist, skilled musician and composer
A true Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would have Deep Purple as an initial entry.
Однозначно, Вы правы!
WORD 💯

Agreed
I grew up on the purple
One of the greatest bands of all time
Who influenced many. A rock bands
Nothing but love for Steve. A big Blackmore's fan here.
Don Airey seems the most alive..the guy is an under-rated god..he has played with ALL OF THE LEGENDS
Wow Ian Paice! Great drummer!
Always
Probably The Best...
Only member of Deep purple from the beginning until now
wasn't Roger Glover in the initial formation?
Keyboardist is good too.

Deep purple my favourite hard rock band
These guys are the best. Their longevity and continued artistic vitality are monumentally impressive- the Morse-era albums are better than you think.
Yep, culminating in Whoosh which is truly a great album - stands on its own. Would be great even if you'd never heard Deep Purple before.
Ian Paice as good as any drummer before or since he's something special.
he gets my vote for number best ever.
Deep purple members age during rock n roll induction:-
Ian paice- 68 yrs
Ian Gillan - 71 yrs
Steve Morse - 61 yrs
Roger glover- 71 yrs.
You know what I'm saying.
Their music - Ageless.
At their age, they’re still rocking harder than any “rock” band today.
Нет, им всем и всегда будет не.больше 30 лет !
And I'm 58, check me out..LOL
Unfortunately the R&RHOF didn't induct Morse and Airey, even though this line up is the longest running line up of this amazing band, far more important than Evens, Coverdale and Hughes, yet these were inducted, and the R&RHOF wonders why the public has lost all respect for it.
Should have been 20 years ago!!!
pressure on Ian Gillan with Coverdale and Hughes sitting in the audience.
He paved the way for them...perhaps... but in the end hardly at all.
No pressure at all. Gillan is THE VOICE of Deep Purple. The other guys were place holders, no matter how talented they were.
I saw Purple on 30th Sept 1972 at the (then) Brixton Sundown (now the Academy) in London, just after the release of the "Made in Japan" LP.

Deep Purple listened to him from the cradle. How good they are, the pioneers of hard rock, and I was born in the year 70.
WHOEVER BARRED THEM FROM ENTRY - FOR FOURTEEN YEARS - IS ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS......They WERE the 70's!!!!
If anyone has any doubt about that, they should have walked into the guitar section of a music store for a year or two after Smoke On The Water came out.
@@koshersalaami a year or two? It's still a goto song for 14yr olds trying to show off to their friends.

AWESOME! Love Steve Morse playing the original solo on Smoke On The Water. Te amo Steve!!
VanElias Perez preferred him in the ‘Dregs’
@Lloyd Bonafide - now say that without crying...you people are pathetic
Great solo and overall guitar work on Smoke On The Water by Steve Morse - Very respectful of Ritchie Blackmore. My thanks!
Very cool 😎..!!
Agreed.Blackmore never played recordings solos.Every live will hv different solos with Blackmore's sound and pitching.
He only played a Steve Morse lick at the very end..
they are in their 70s now, and can still sing, Ian Gillan rocks
I love that Ritchie's face was the first one to be illuminated on the screen during "Smoke On The Water."

Steve is the *perfect* fit.
° No ego.
° Amazing tone.
° Extraordinary tribute. He gets it.
Won't be seeing this on Oprah.

Boring to watch,no showmanship.

Fathers of the hard rock...... yeah
Without any questions!
1 of the best songs ever!!!
That riff is eternal!!!
Best wishes!!!
solo = insanely good Blackmore impersonation, almost like a template for the original, hats off to Steve Morse, fantastic job :-)
@gillan64 Steve Morse is an amazing guitarist. But can any great guitarist sound just like another great guitarist? I don't think so.
@gillan64 He played it note for fuckin' note clown!
Morse stated in an interview he wanted to get the solo note for note for the ceremony
@@RockFan98 makes sense to me. Great way to celebrate the genius of Blackmore despite him not being there.

Great Tribute of Morse, who pkayed Blackmore's solo note per note for the first time, very intense moment. But here's Ian Paice, ladies and gentlemen
geezus! was Ian Gillan ever the most beautiful thing and still lookin fine!
Love the D.P. the best rock and roll band of all times !
What a group , what a sound after all these years
Best original version of smoke on the water!
Great solo by Steve Morse !
Hush is probably my favorite Purple tune and one of my favorite songs.
Wow, THESE are awesome musicians!
Saw Deep Purple twice. Both times with Buddy Miles, opening. This video, I'll remember !
Steve Morse absolutely killed the Smoke on Water solo.
It was a fucking insult not letting Dave & Glenn play here.

I saw them on that tour also. Both bands were great.
Happy birthday Steve 😊
Its awesome to see the guys having fun and smiling. You never saw that happen much during Richies era with the band!
Um, ok?
Miles Davis and Robert Fripp didn't smile either, which if you aren't interested in music I guess matters.
Larry Mccarty Richie was an epic douche
Ian Paice is really on fire still great
Glover looks amazing hahah
Amazing as always.
