It's certainly gaining in that column, partially fueled by Hollywood using it, which makes sense because it's so cinematic. Its use at the end of the Oscar-winning documentary "One Day in September" was so shocking, it was almost inappropriate. It was used over the photos of the dead Olympic athletes, and it was truly horrifying, but unbelievably effective. If you love the song like I do, I would actually recommend NOT seeing that film, as it will burn images into it that may stick with you forever.
They WERE great LIVE but at that time they were soooo expensive to watch.... Admittedly , I saw them at the World Famous Royal Albert Hall in West London but it actually cost me 25 PENCE or 34 CENTS to watch in the Top Tier or " Up In The Gods" as it was called....:)
In the summer of '72, my longlegged girl and I went to a triple bill at the Cape Fear arena in Fayetteville, NC. Deep Purple, Steppenwolf and Leon Russell. Deep Purple opened the show and blew everybody away. The crowd's energy and emotions were so drained after their two hour show that the promoters announced a 90 minute intermission before Steppenwolf would start their show so everyone could recuperate.
There are people who say that Led Zeppelin was better than Deep Purple. Well, those people compare Stairway to Heaven to Smoke on the Water. If they compared Stairway to Heaven to Child in Time instead, they would come to a different conclusion. And Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo is legendary.
Nothing to compare ! Deep Purple is hard rock played by classical musicians, Led Zeppelin was playing hard rock and folk music and progressive rock but their roots were in blues and soul music, Robert Plant is a soul singer and I like both because they are so different !
Comparing music is so from this time please don’t do. Listen and enjoy. In this case I love Wolfkain enthusiasm for all kind of music and Sistah is adorable.
When Wolf said in the beginning of the video that he did not know much about Deep Purple, I said to myself 'This is going to be good!' and boy was it. 😀
We have a saying in Greece about the rockers from the 70's....that the holy Trinity Of rock is Deep purple. Led Zeppelin and Black sabbath..... Come on you guys DP is one of the biggest influences in hard music ever..... Listen to Machine Head album my favorite and I have a special song it's called Rat Pat blue..... You'll hear where Paul dianno learned to sing...
Guys, I've seen over a dozen reactions to Child In Time, and yours was the best. You had the good sense to react to the studio version of the song, you didn't interrupt it, and you played the live version at the end over your thoughts on what you had just heard. THIS is how reactions should be done!!! (I just subscribed).
Child In Time -- intense and powerful music. In terms of technical ability, many people rank Led Zeppelin as #1. But, I'd put Deep Purple right there with them -- Blackmore on guitar, Lord on keyboards, Paice on drums, Gillan on vocals and Glover on bass are all supremely talented musicians.
@@vancelray judged purely as musicians, I would probably agree with that, but LZ had greater songwriting skills, they wrote many more top, top tracks than Purple did. Both bands are wonderful. Astonishing to think that, together with Sabbath, these guys defined whole genres of music, and 50 years later none of those three bands have been surpassed. Equalled, yes, rarely, but never surpassed.
@@tonyb9735 It's really tough to say one is better than the other though. At the level Zeppelin, Sabbath and Deep Purple achieved it's apples and oranges. It's personal which one you like best, if at all to even have a favorite, but the truth is it's apples and oranges.
Had there not been many line-up changes Deep Purple would have surpassed Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. But if we compare the best era of all three bands Deep Purple was the greatest. Ritchie Blackmore started the Neo classical style of playing and Jon Lord was the greatest Organ player and Ian Gillan the greatest or the first to Screech. But I listen all the three bands. They are like Apples, Oranges and Bananas 😃
Ian Gillan was one of several great screamers of that era: Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, David Byron... This whole album is one of those utter classics that people me can claim as formative influences on their musical taste, along with Paranoid, Led Zep IV, Close to the Edge, Fire and Water, Argus and so many more. Nice to see someone newly appreciate a song that I've loved since it first came out.
I’m 68 now and got right into Deep Purple in my very early twenties. Loved nearly all of their songs then. As I have got much older I have really started to fully appreciate Child in Time. It is a fakking masterpiece!
It was the summer of 1989 and I was 13. My friends were all into the big 80s pop, hair metal, etc., so I was into that scene, too. I didn't know I had a choice. I didn't know what else existed, to be honest. One day, my ex-stepfather (who was only very briefly in my life) was doing something in the garage, jamming to some music. Bored, I wandered in and asked what band he was listening to. He was incredulous that I was unfamiliar with the song that was playing. So, he sat me down on the concrete garage floor (felt cool on a hot day), put gigantic headphones over my ears and fired up his 8-track player. From the opening second of Deep Purple's _Burn,_ I was hooked. Out poured the most powerful, transformative sounds I'd ever heard. The experience literally transfixed me. I had never heard anything like it, and it was magical. I ended up listening to the entire 8-track in one session, without ever getting up from that concrete floor. Through every lineup and stylistic change, I've been happily hooked on Deep Purple ever since.
One of the greatest ROCK/METAL Songs ever written...and one of the best ANTI WAR/VIETNAM Songs ever written !.....Ian Gillan sung also Jesus Christ Superstar in the Musical !....IN ROCK is a Milestone in music History ! Happy Birthday,you are now 50 Years old and still inspire thousands of Bands today.....check out the LIVE VERSIONS !!!!!...a Metal Fan who did not know IN ROCK?....must be hard to live in a Cave under a Rock for Centuries ;)
Oh yeah, this is a freaking masterpiece of a hard rock song, one of the best of all times! Deep Purple are legend and have influenced countless bands since decades...yes, I agree, also Iron Maiden! I love your reaction, and Sistah, your emotions are priceless! You really feel the music, this is an amazing gift! And although I have heard Child in time countless times over the years, it always gets me again...
beeing born in the mid80s I grew up with the greats of old (thanks dad) Purple, Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and so on... so I heavily envy Wolf, he is not a young pup, he knows his music, he knows his music history, and to discover this absolute timeless Monument of musical mastery at his age for the first time and beeing able to appreciate its massive impact must be mind bending. There is so much musical foreshadowing in this epic alone. Elements of this song have been used and re-invented in all styles of Music to this very day. Great reaction, much love and much respect.
My story is the same. Born mid 80s but grew up with Purple, Genesis etc thanks to my parents. I've had this song in my life since I was a young girl and I never tire of watching people react to it for the first time and seeing it touch their soul. Phenomenal song, phenomenal band, one that's close to my heart. Thank you for your amazing reaction
Great reaction! Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson recalled how he vomited moments after meeting Deep Purple counterpart Ian Gillan for the first time. Dickinson chose Gillan as his rock god in the latest episode of the BBC’s Rock Show with Johnny Walker, describing his first encounter with Deep Purple’s music. “There I was as a young spotty teenager … and there was this noise coming through somebody's door,” he said. “And I opened it and I went, ‘What on earth is that?’ And it was ‘Speed King’ by Deep Purple off Deep Purple In Rock. And that was what got me started.”
If you listen tooooo deeply to this song - it will drive you insane. I think its simply saying - if you pull the trigger, there is noooo turning back and forward only leads to insanity. I love seeing reactions from people (like you guys) on this song, because they are NEVER expecting this level of awesome musicianship and recording engineering from 1970. Ian Gillian was and still is a fantastic vocalist, but his true strength lies in his wordsmithing abilities. Thanks for the great reaction and remember - we folks born in the 50's n 60's listen to music of this caliber all the time. We lived for it!
Watching your reaction to this made my day. I'm 55 and was lucky enough to see them several times. And if can believe it , I'm almost positive Madonna was in the rock nroll hall of fame before Deep Purple. Glad you enjoyed it. Dig deeper into every band you only heard were legends bur you've only heard their music on the radio. There is a reason they are called true rock n roll legends.
When The album "Machine Head" came out I was in a horrible foster home. I never had money or decent clothes, and I felt really out of place, and as a middle schooler, it was par for the course. I was over at a friends house and he played the whole "Machine Head" album and we got high and listened to the album 10 times in a row...My life was altered then and there..I found that I was obsessed with the band, and finally got enough money to buy my own album....I found "In Rock" after that and went on to devour anything Deep Purple released...This is when I discovered the magic of music...How it could take me away from my current reality and transport me to a different space and time...Say what you will about which band is better, or which band is more talented or what have you. However, I think that there is no better or best in music...It is just what moves you and what speaks to your soul.
I always hate these discussions “X better than Y”. Music is a form of art. There is no competition in art. It is a relationship between the artist and the recipient or recipients vibing together as a group. 100m dash has a clearly defined goal and you can measure who is best in terms of who is arriving first. That’s a competition, it’s objective. Now let’s discuss who has the best running style…
Child in time was Deep Purple's "stairway to heaven" and in my humble opinion it was even better. There are lot of songs you re gonna love. "Highway star" ,"Speed King" , "Woman from Tokyo" , " Space Truckin", "Fireball" , "Bloodsucker" from Ian Gillan era and "Burn", "Stormbringer", " Mistreated", "You keep on moving" from Coverdale's era. And finally something for Sistah. I 've seen how much she loved Temple of the King by Rainbow. You will also love "Soldiers of Fortune" by Deep Purple sung by David Coverdale . One of Ritchie Blackmore's greatest and immortal ballads. Nice job thank you a lot for the company ...
I first saw Deep Purple in 1971 at the Mayfair Suite in Birmingham UK on the 'In Rock' tour. I was 17 and had just started work and used the money from my first pay cheque to buy the ticket for the show. They were absolutely fantastic, singer Ian Gillan became and is still my favourite male vocalist of all time and incidentally a great guy into the bargain. Bruce Dickinson of Maiden has also stated Ian is his favourite singer and both are now good friend's. Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god, Jon Lord's (RIP) Hammond organ sound is what makes this band sound so different from contemporaries, Zeppelin and Sabbath. The powerhouse of Roger Glover and Ian Paice completed this Mark 2 and best line up. I retire in September and wouldn't have believed back then that almost 50 years later Purple would still be releasing album's, touring the world with Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and Ian Paice still 'rockin'. A new album, Whoosh is out very soon with a world tour to follow once thing's return to normal.
Way back in the day, I saw Deep Purple open for Cream in L.A. After Cream did their first song, people were screaming for Deep Purple to come back on the stage. DP tore the place down with their opening set.
As someone who grew up listening to this, it's so cool to see the juxtaposition of someone who's familiar with this style, and someone who's hearing it for the first time. You guys have a great channel.
Sistah - I wish I had an invitation to the party going on in your head during this. ❤️ 🤘 Jon Lord was the Tuomas Holopainen of his day. Or rather, Tuomas is this generation's Jon Lord. 😁
no joke man. i got a friend that always ask me to make a band that play deep purple song. and my answer is always "do u know someone that can sing like ian?" and the conversation ended. what a strong and charismatic voice he had. legend!
"Deep Purple In Rock" is THE pivotal album that marks the border between Brit-pop-rock and/or flower-power stuff and what was to become known as Hard Rock. The album that blew the flowers from the hair of the ones stuck in San Fransisco. Forget The Who, Kinks, The Animals. Even Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were searching through left-overs from the Blues and trying to make something out of it. Deep Purple is THE source. The vestige, the source, the well where everything started. Forget "Stairway To Heaven". "Child In Time" is THE song that chimed-in a new era. Never before had a guitar solo sounded that impressive, that magical, that loud, that fast, that spectacular. Blackmore at his best. Hard Rock at its best. Never to be surpassed again, ever. Thank you for a splendid reaction. Greetings and well-wishes from Belgium.
Me too. 84. Heard this my whole life and I lived in south Africa for the first 27 years of my life. Still blows my mind how people in the US have never heard this. This is my all time favorite song!
@@patcam5096 it was almost never played on the radio in the US. Probably was considered as unamerican as for example „Dear Mr. President „ by Pink which is well known in Europe but not so much in the US.
Congratulations for this wonderful reaction! Deep Purple is a greatest rock bands of history. They were a huge influence for so many rock styles. Her reaction was so emotive, genuine and sincere! I loved her comments as well! And you man are a lucky guy, your spouse is very pretty and sympathic
Deep Purples organist, the classically trained Jon Lord, would plug his Hammond B3(or C3) organ into a Marshall guitar stack, instead of the traditional Lesley speaker, to get a grittier sound that could match the guitar sounds of Ritchie Blackmore . I actually began to wonder, when were you gonna get to Deep Purple, but better late than never.
So majestic. So solemn, also so exciting. Child in Time has it all. Looks like the lady reacted exactly like Purple wanted the listener to react. Tears because it is sad but then again it is exciting. The song has it all.
Yes, yes, yes. @HalfLifeSistah, if you read this - definitely try out this song. Wolf will enjoy that one as well. When a Blind Man Cries was released as B side, it's not well known among those who have not followed DP closely and it has not been on radios too much. Yet it is an absolute beauty.
From the same album check Hard Loving Man. That song made Lars Ulrich wanna play metal! First metal song ever. 1970. Listen to it and you know what I mean Actually the whole album is Epic!! The keyboard player had to be as hard as the guitarist so he hooked a Marshall amp to his Hammond.
Thanks for this. I was born early 50's, so this is my teenage era kind of music. ANd hearing this brings it all back to me. those were the days. Together with moody blues pink floyd doors etc. Thanks again. (Wolf how could you have missed this? ;-). BUt I respect you for just acknowledging that you overlooked it. We all like to be surprised sometimes.
I remember buying this masterpiece of an album in 1970 and playing it that evening on my hifi that I'd been putting together during the late 60's and being stunned by every track - I still have that album and it's as relevant now as it ever was in my progressive rock collection. Fabulous.
I regard the 70's as the most iconic when it comes to good music, which genre whatsoever. But then again, I'm a child of the seventies... ;-) Some of my personal favorites: Roxy Music, Santana, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Bread, CCR and there are so many more...
After so many years since my brother, myself and the boy from neighbourhood - Dean, my best friend ever, (may he rest in peace) who introduced deep purple to us, use to have séance of listening deep purple seating on the floor around the gramophone, on vinyl record, hundreds and hundreds of times, I listened to child in time from beginning to the end again. The symbolism within the song is enormous, the prelude to the guitar solo its like somebody shooting with an automatic gun, let alone the actual solo where Ritchie is telling us a story from his heart, not even a single note wasted - every word /tune on its place. The end of the song.... apocalypse, end of the world. And so on and on, emotionally told story from their hearts. As they say music is international language no need for translation or finding the meaning of the song. A master peace which can rank with Beethoven's, Mozart's and all great composers works that will never die.
Ian Gillan had an epic rock voice. He also sang the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar - Original Concept Recording (1970). If you're not familiar it's a Rock Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. That would make for an excellent reaction. Much of the music is funky Rock, and of course the story is familiar to millions of people.
The best 2 Child in Time Live versions are Scandanavian Nights Live in Stockholm and Scandanavian Nights Live in Denmark, the best album to get into Deep Purple live is the double album In Concert from 1970 and 1972, that album has something for everyone.
Deep Purple has some EPIC music. I also love the Glenn Hughes/ David Coverdale era of Purple. Check out the song 'BURN' it includes Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale
Great video! I remember taping this song off radio when I was about 12 years old and flipping out over it. I have a magazine from the mid 90s where Bruce Dickinson names this record (In Rock) as his favourite album of all time, and the one that set him on the path to being a singer.
Born early 70ies O grew up with this song. It can haunt you. It's a masterpiece. Funny to watch a metal dude who doesn't know this. After now 4 years, You need to revisit the song in It's eternal masterclass, the 1970 BBC live version, near to 1 bn views soon, which dwarfes the studio version imho.
Good reaction Wolf...Way back, when this album first came out, my cousin (now deceased)just played side A, then was about to change records. I said, "Wth, aren't you going to play Child in Time?" At my request he did, after hearing it, he happily thanked me and blasted it 5 more times that night!
"When a Blind Man Cries" ,that's a song i cant keep my eyes dry on. Steve Harris from Iron Maiden have Deep Purple as one of his favorite bands, and one can clearly hear that in the music he writes.
Ian is one of my favorite rock singers! My dad was the one who turned me onto Deep Purple with the live Made in Japan album. My life changed with that one! Thank you fir your reaction, it’s great to see other people finding new music!
Hi folks the 70's were a truly diverse decade from Slade, T Rex Sweet Mud etc to Elton, John, Rod Stewart, Bowie and Roxy Music, all that going on alongside Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Yes and Genesis then Abba Sparks and of Course Punk. We didn't realise at the time but we were truly blessed when it came to music. The only blip was John Travolta and Olivia Newton John Garbage.
I see the reaction of you guys during the breakdown after the 2nd verse and still get goosebumps. I mean it’s a band at the height of their powers and all the members firing at all cylinders. Awesome!!! 🤘🏻
I am so pleased to see a reaction to the studio version. The live versions are great and have peaks of utter brilliance but usually countered with the equivalent of musical doodling. This version is PERFECTLY crafted and formed.
Awesome reaction, guys! I often have musical dreams, and I've dreamt this song all the way through while it tears me up emotionally, just as it does in real life. It's tragically timeless because it fits not only the Vietnam War, which was the inspiration, but also every war, every terrorist attack, every crazed shooting ever. The screams are so intense and the raw sound so fitting that even though it makes me cry, it's still a masterpiece that I can't help but listen to all the way through once it starts. Thanks for the excellent review! You guys make a lovely pair!
This was one of the songs that hit high in the all time top 100 in the Netherlands, but I believe it wasn't recorded as a single (impossible to press on 45 rpm single). Oh and I strongly suggest Jimi Hendrix -- Voodoo Chile. After all he was one of the pioneers of metal.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this rock masterpiece. It blew me away too when I first heard it and Ritchie Blackmores guitar in this song is virtually unbeatable
Together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple made up the "unholy trinity" of British hard rock and heavy metal during the genre's 1970s golden age.
This is definitely one of my all-time favorite classic songs! It was also the inofficial song against the Vietnam war, and ranked number one in the UKs "If you were alone on an island and could choose only one song to bring with you" special ranking list.
Back in the day there was a concert almost every month. You could hardly see the group for the smoke in the air. Crazy times. I was a teen in the 60s and saw some pretty wild shows.
Very nice reaction and commemts both, especially the girls. He has the soul of a rocker. 5 great musicians, 5 true masters of their instruments. By the way, this song is true masterpiece for all time and had a great impact on future generations of great musicians and great bands, as well as the band itself. I would especially like to mention that this song itself, as well as the singer of "Deep Purple" - Ian Gillan, according to his own confession had a great influence on Bruce Dickinson from "Iron Maiden". Deep Purple is one of the greatest bands of all time.
Keep in mind this album was released in 1970. Way ahead of its time in my opinion. I've been a DP fan since I was a little boy as the result of my older brother playing these incredible records throughout the early to late 1970's. I've also had the pleasure of seeing them in person back in the mid 1980's for the Perfect Strangers tour. Needless to say they brought the house down, literally. Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida was closed soon after the DP concert as they found the walls and beams to have developed cracks due to the high decibel levels. I had a hard time hearing for a few days after also. Great band of the likes we may never see or hear again. RIP Jon Lord. P.S., you should do a reaction on DP's Fireball... talk about hard rock...
Haha this is such a great song. It brings back memories of me and my bestie going through a few months of playing all the oldies when we got home from work and had chill out time with beer. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeplin, Blue Oyster Cult. so good.
I was waiting for your reaction to THE note...was not disappointed. And overall I think you see why those of us who have been listening to In Rock for 50 years still do! Great reactions! I certainly understand the tears... :-)
I’m surprised you don’t know who deep purple are because they influenced all the bands you’re probably into.. also spawning speed metal and thrash.. listen to Highway star-lazy- flight of the rat -space Trucken. And burn the song storm bringer as well. The last two Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals, But this version of purple mk2 was as talented & as good as anybody out during that time including Zepplin.
I love that your reactions are so different. He is so taken aback he doesn’t know what to do with himself and she is so taken aback she can’t control her emotions. I think that’s awesome!!!!!!
A masterpiece start to finish ! If you put this into musical context, Led Zep, Deep Purple, then Early Judas Priest , we can hear the voice, the power, and the scream as its developes in these early years where heavy metal was not even born yet. This is the foundation built by bands n people who had no idea and just followed their instincts. It's pure and fresh and written as the path was in front of them. I love this, just imagine hearing this for the first time back in the day ! Holy Moly ! Thanks for sharing. Metal lerv from down under \m/\m/
Wow ... a great childhood memory. My very favorite back in the days. Slightly colored by the fact that my first kiss actually happened while this song was playing. Wish I could relive that time. A different world.
This is the first time I paid more attention to wolfs reaction! :-D Cant believe you missed that! Ian Gilian is a great singer, he was also Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. If you want more Purple Songs that influenced Rock and Metalbands try Highway Star and Fireball.
Check out their earlier albums, I think🤔late 60's "Book of Taliesyn" & "Shades of Deep Purple" if you like this, trust me, You'll love these two albums!!😉👍🏼
British rock at that time: Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc. etc. Truly golden times. I'm glad I was a teenager at that time.
This is one of Rock ‘n Roll’s greatest songs in my opnion.
I always thought that if Stairway To Heaven had not been released, this would have been 'the song'
aeldin131 it’s a nice tune...but 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yessss
It's not your opinion only, it's almost everyone's opinion. Many Rock fans consider it the greatest
It's certainly gaining in that column, partially fueled by Hollywood using it, which makes sense because it's so cinematic. Its use at the end of the Oscar-winning documentary "One Day in September" was so shocking, it was almost inappropriate. It was used over the photos of the dead Olympic athletes, and it was truly horrifying, but unbelievably effective. If you love the song like I do, I would actually recommend NOT seeing that film, as it will burn images into it that may stick with you forever.
I am so envious of somebody discovering Deep Purple for the first time. So, so lucky people.
Andy I always feel the same when I see reactions like this!
Yap, same with me...
Even though I've heard it before, everytime I listen to it I feel like it'd the first time all over again 💯
If you really want to hear what Purple were about, Made in Japan is the surest place to start, Live they couldn't be beaten at the time
Yep my favorite child in time version comes from there. The album was awesome. Every version of child in time is different and has its own charm.
@Erik Lidström Wow i never heard this version. Looks like I have a new favorite version. You are so right. Thanks a lot. : D
Was HUGE in the 70s
They WERE great LIVE but at that time they were soooo expensive to watch....
Admittedly , I saw them at the World Famous Royal Albert Hall in West London but it actually cost me 25 PENCE or 34 CENTS to watch in the Top Tier or " Up In The Gods" as it was called....:)
one of the best live albums ever
In the summer of '72, my longlegged girl and I went to a triple bill at the Cape Fear arena in Fayetteville, NC.
Deep Purple, Steppenwolf and Leon Russell.
Deep Purple opened the show and blew everybody away. The crowd's energy and emotions were so drained after their two hour show that the promoters announced a 90 minute intermission before Steppenwolf would start their show so everyone could recuperate.
There are people who say that Led Zeppelin was better than Deep Purple. Well, those people compare Stairway to Heaven to Smoke on the Water. If they compared Stairway to Heaven to Child in Time instead, they would come to a different conclusion. And Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo is legendary.
The beginning of the guitar part is one of his best performances of Blackmore. His tone and his bluesy feel is still incredible after all this years..
You are absolutely right my friend I saw all three bands when they were at their Peak and deep purple brought the energy better than any of them
Nothing to compare ! Deep Purple is hard rock played by classical musicians, Led Zeppelin was playing hard rock and folk music and progressive rock but their roots were in blues and soul music, Robert Plant is a soul singer and I like both because they are so different !
Comparing music is so from this time please don’t do. Listen and enjoy. In this case I love Wolfkain enthusiasm for all kind of music and Sistah is adorable.
What an amazing riffs and solos from R.BLACKMORE ! 🥰🌹
When Wolf said in the beginning of the video that he did not know much about Deep Purple, I said to myself 'This is going to be good!' and boy was it. 😀
I enjoyed his reaction to this song SO MUCH!! ♥
We have a saying in Greece about the rockers from the 70's....that the holy Trinity Of rock is Deep purple. Led Zeppelin and Black sabbath..... Come on you guys DP is one of the biggest influences in hard music ever..... Listen to Machine Head album my favorite and I have a special song it's called Rat Pat blue..... You'll hear where Paul dianno learned to sing...
They are called the Unholy Trinity here in the US, too. 👍
Don't underestimate others like Uriah Heep though, mate. :)
@@IntergalacticApeMan very, very influential!!
Yep and that would be 'rat bat blue' ' super trouper' is a beauty too, in fact the whole "Who do we think we are" album from '73 is awesome too.
...
Unholy trinity of heavy metal
Guys, I've seen over a dozen reactions to Child In Time, and yours was the best. You had the good sense to react to the studio version of the song, you didn't interrupt it, and you played the live version at the end over your thoughts on what you had just heard. THIS is how reactions should be done!!! (I just subscribed).
Ian Gillan is the greatest he performed the song live even better.
I have never been a fan of live performances but in this instance you are absolutely correct...
The studio version just doesn’t compare. You’re spot on
Nothing compares to the studio version. It is the best by far. The live one is good too, but the studio one is perfection.
@@thefrancuteleac I agree completely.
MADE IN JAPAN Version is best but you have to listen to the studio first if you’re listening for the first time.
Child In Time -- intense and powerful music. In terms of technical ability, many people rank Led Zeppelin as #1. But, I'd put Deep Purple right there with them -- Blackmore on guitar, Lord on keyboards, Paice on drums, Gillan on vocals and Glover on bass are all supremely talented musicians.
DP > LZ
@@vancelray judged purely as musicians, I would probably agree with that, but LZ had greater songwriting skills, they wrote many more top, top tracks than Purple did. Both bands are wonderful. Astonishing to think that, together with Sabbath, these guys defined whole genres of music, and 50 years later none of those three bands have been surpassed. Equalled, yes, rarely, but never surpassed.
@@tonyb9735 It's really tough to say one is better than the other though. At the level Zeppelin, Sabbath and Deep Purple achieved it's apples and oranges. It's personal which one you like best, if at all to even have a favorite, but the truth is it's apples and oranges.
Had there not been many line-up changes Deep Purple would have surpassed Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. But if we compare the best era of all three bands Deep Purple was the greatest. Ritchie Blackmore started the Neo classical style of playing and Jon Lord was the greatest Organ player and Ian Gillan the greatest or the first to Screech. But I listen all the three bands. They are like Apples, Oranges and Bananas 😃
Ian Gillan was one of several great screamers of that era: Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, David Byron...
This whole album is one of those utter classics that people me can claim as formative influences on their musical taste, along with Paranoid, Led Zep IV, Close to the Edge, Fire and Water, Argus and so many more. Nice to see someone newly appreciate a song that I've loved since it first came out.
I love the Heep and wishbone ash. Andy Powell is masterful.
I think he was the best screamer of all eras.
David Byron, the most underrated singer ever
You nailed it modern rock would not exist without these pivotal albums. I personally prefer In Rock over Machine Head but its damned close
Graham Douglas They don’t call him Ian “scream” Gillan for nothing.
I’m 68 now and got right into Deep Purple in my very early twenties. Loved nearly all of their songs then. As I have got much older I have really started to fully appreciate Child in Time. It is a fakking masterpiece!
It could be a good funeral tune!
It was the summer of 1989 and I was 13. My friends were all into the big 80s pop, hair metal, etc., so I was into that scene, too. I didn't know I had a choice. I didn't know what else existed, to be honest.
One day, my ex-stepfather (who was only very briefly in my life) was doing something in the garage, jamming to some music. Bored, I wandered in and asked what band he was listening to. He was incredulous that I was unfamiliar with the song that was playing. So, he sat me down on the concrete garage floor (felt cool on a hot day), put gigantic headphones over my ears and fired up his 8-track player.
From the opening second of Deep Purple's _Burn,_ I was hooked. Out poured the most powerful, transformative sounds I'd ever heard. The experience literally transfixed me. I had never heard anything like it, and it was magical.
I ended up listening to the entire 8-track in one session, without ever getting up from that concrete floor. Through every lineup and stylistic change, I've been happily hooked on Deep Purple ever since.
So, Deep Purple was worth a few hemorrhoids from sitting on the concrete.
You bet your ass they are.
Pretty cool to see people that have never heard this before. Deep Purple influenced many groups. Lars from Metallica was a massive fan.
Let alone they are positioning themselves as hard/heavy music experts.
One of the greatest ROCK/METAL Songs ever written...and one of the best ANTI WAR/VIETNAM Songs ever written !.....Ian Gillan sung also Jesus Christ Superstar in the Musical !....IN ROCK is a Milestone in music History ! Happy Birthday,you are now 50 Years old and still inspire thousands of Bands today.....check out the LIVE VERSIONS !!!!!...a Metal Fan who did not know IN ROCK?....must be hard to live in a Cave under a Rock for Centuries ;)
Oh yeah, this is a freaking masterpiece of a hard rock song, one of the best of all times! Deep Purple are legend and have influenced countless bands since decades...yes, I agree, also Iron Maiden!
I love your reaction, and Sistah, your emotions are priceless! You really feel the music, this is an amazing gift! And although I have heard Child in time countless times over the years, it always gets me again...
Ditto on all the comments, long time fan. I am kind of liking the new album coming out in August at least the few songs that are out.
beeing born in the mid80s I grew up with the greats of old (thanks dad) Purple, Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and so on... so I heavily envy Wolf, he is not a young pup, he knows his music, he knows his music history, and to discover this absolute timeless Monument of musical mastery at his age for the first time and beeing able to appreciate its massive impact must be mind bending. There is so much musical foreshadowing in this epic alone. Elements of this song have been used and re-invented in all styles of Music to this very day. Great reaction, much love and much respect.
My story is the same. Born mid 80s but grew up with Purple, Genesis etc thanks to my parents. I've had this song in my life since I was a young girl and I never tire of watching people react to it for the first time and seeing it touch their soul. Phenomenal song, phenomenal band, one that's close to my heart. Thank you for your amazing reaction
Great reaction!
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson recalled how he vomited moments after meeting Deep Purple counterpart Ian Gillan for the first time.
Dickinson chose Gillan as his rock god in the latest episode of the BBC’s Rock Show with Johnny Walker, describing his first encounter with Deep Purple’s music.
“There I was as a young spotty teenager … and there was this noise coming through somebody's door,” he said. “And I opened it and I went, ‘What on earth is that?’ And it was ‘Speed King’ by Deep Purple off Deep Purple In Rock. And that was what got me started.”
If you listen tooooo deeply to this song - it will drive you insane. I think its simply saying - if you pull the trigger, there is noooo turning back and forward only leads to insanity. I love seeing reactions from people (like you guys) on this song, because they are NEVER expecting this level of awesome musicianship and recording engineering from 1970. Ian Gillian was and still is a fantastic vocalist, but his true strength lies in his wordsmithing abilities. Thanks for the great reaction and remember - we folks born in the 50's n 60's listen to music of this caliber all the time. We lived for it!
Greatest Rock Group on Earth. No One can touch them
Watching your reaction to this made my day. I'm 55 and was lucky enough to see them several times. And if can believe it , I'm almost positive Madonna was in the rock nroll hall of fame before Deep Purple. Glad you enjoyed it. Dig deeper into every band you only heard were legends bur you've only heard their music on the radio. There is a reason they are called true rock n roll legends.
I've never seen anyone get into a song as much as she does it's awesome.
No,he did it this time.He was shocked!
It's almost like the big O for her!
Deep Purple was the most underrated band for their period.
@@richirich3916 Not as popular as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath :)
@@DPDDD3 they were equally awesome to me ! Those 3 bands were the kings of 70's hard rock
Early Purple.
When The album "Machine Head" came out I was in a horrible foster home. I never had money or decent clothes, and I felt really out of place, and as a middle schooler, it was par for the course.
I was over at a friends house and he played the whole "Machine Head" album and we got high and listened to the album 10 times in a row...My life was altered then and there..I found that I was obsessed with the band, and finally got enough money to buy my own album....I found "In Rock" after that and went on to devour anything Deep Purple released...This is when I discovered the magic of music...How it could take me away from my current reality and transport me to a different space and time...Say what you will about which band is better, or which band is more talented or what have you. However, I think that there is no better or best in music...It is just what moves you and what speaks to your soul.
I always hate these discussions “X better than Y”. Music is a form of art. There is no competition in art. It is a relationship between the artist and the recipient or recipients vibing together as a group.
100m dash has a clearly defined goal and you can measure who is best in terms of who is arriving first. That’s a competition, it’s objective. Now let’s discuss who has the best running style…
So very well said.
Well said Kevin
Child in time was Deep Purple's "stairway to heaven" and in my humble opinion it was even better. There are lot of songs you re gonna love. "Highway star" ,"Speed King" , "Woman from Tokyo" , " Space Truckin", "Fireball" , "Bloodsucker" from Ian Gillan era and "Burn", "Stormbringer", " Mistreated", "You keep on moving" from Coverdale's era. And finally something for Sistah. I 've seen how much she loved Temple of the King by Rainbow. You will also love "Soldiers of Fortune" by Deep Purple sung by David Coverdale . One of Ritchie Blackmore's greatest and immortal ballads. Nice job thank you a lot for the company ...
Wolf's face: "How the hell did I miss this? HOW?!?!?" XD
Nah, I think he's adding up the dates and working out if he was conceived to it
@@shanecameron3535 lol, perfect comment!
The wife's never going to be the same. The dudes like that just blew everything I thought I knew about rock. I got to go back and start over.
I first saw Deep Purple in 1971 at the Mayfair Suite in Birmingham UK on the 'In Rock' tour. I was 17 and had just started work and used the money from my first pay cheque to buy the ticket for the show. They were absolutely fantastic, singer Ian Gillan became and is still my favourite male vocalist of all time and incidentally a great guy into the bargain. Bruce Dickinson of Maiden has also stated Ian is his favourite singer and both are now good friend's. Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god, Jon Lord's (RIP) Hammond organ sound is what makes this band sound so different from contemporaries, Zeppelin and Sabbath. The powerhouse of Roger Glover and Ian Paice completed this Mark 2 and best line up. I retire in September and wouldn't have believed back then that almost 50 years later Purple would still be releasing album's, touring the world with Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and Ian Paice still 'rockin'. A new album, Whoosh is out very soon with a world tour to follow once thing's return to normal.
Wolf just found the mother of his favorite music, and he instantly recognizes her...
The facial expressions by wolf omg! Love it! Look so perplexed. I don't think there is a more perfect war song in my humble opinion.
Ritchie did that solo in 1 take and what a trippy sound he got here.
Way back in the day, I saw Deep Purple open for Cream in L.A. After Cream did their first song, people were screaming for Deep Purple to come back on the stage. DP tore the place down with their opening set.
As someone who grew up listening to this, it's so cool to see the juxtaposition of someone who's familiar with this style, and someone who's hearing it for the first time.
You guys have a great channel.
I consider Deep Purple the grandfathers of metal 🤟 case in point: "Highway Star"
LOVE seeing how much y'all enjoyed it! ❤️
Sistah - I wish I had an invitation to the party going on in your head during this. ❤️ 🤘
Jon Lord was the Tuomas Holopainen of his day. Or rather, Tuomas is this generation's Jon Lord. 😁
Lol, hi, sugah! ^_^///
There was definitely a disco ball and some laser lights and for some reason... I was on the dance floor all by myself xDDd ♥
You Nightwish fanboys sure know how to overrate your favorite bland Disney band. Sheesh...
This was Ian Gillan at the HEIGHT of his vocal powers!! Check out the Made In Japan version!
Carl Simons yeah..Ian screams even higher.
no joke man. i got a friend that always ask me to make a band that play deep purple song.
and my answer is always "do u know someone that can sing like ian?"
and the conversation ended.
what a strong and charismatic voice he had.
legend!
"Deep Purple In Rock" is THE pivotal album that marks the border between Brit-pop-rock and/or flower-power stuff and what was to become known as Hard Rock. The album that blew the flowers from the hair of the ones stuck in San Fransisco. Forget The Who, Kinks, The Animals. Even Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were searching through left-overs from the Blues and trying to make something out of it. Deep Purple is THE source. The vestige, the source, the well where everything started. Forget "Stairway To Heaven". "Child In Time" is THE song that chimed-in a new era. Never before had a guitar solo sounded that impressive, that magical, that loud, that fast, that spectacular. Blackmore at his best. Hard Rock at its best. Never to be surpassed again, ever. Thank you for a splendid reaction. Greetings and well-wishes from Belgium.
I am astonished that this was new to you. I was born in 84' and this has been one of my all time favorite songs since i was 6yrs old
Me too. 84. Heard this my whole life and I lived in south Africa for the first 27 years of my life. Still blows my mind how people in the US have never heard this. This is my all time favorite song!
@@patcam5096 it was almost never played on the radio in the US. Probably was considered as unamerican as for example „Dear Mr. President „ by Pink which is well known in Europe but not so much in the US.
Congratulations for this wonderful reaction! Deep Purple is a greatest rock bands of history. They were a huge influence for so many rock styles.
Her reaction was so emotive, genuine and sincere! I loved her comments as well! And you man are a lucky guy, your spouse is very pretty and sympathic
one of the greatest songs of all time, Gillan, Blackmore and Lord at their peak
Deep Purples organist, the classically trained Jon Lord, would plug his Hammond B3(or C3) organ into a Marshall guitar stack, instead of the traditional Lesley speaker, to get a grittier sound that could match the guitar sounds of Ritchie Blackmore . I actually began to wonder, when were you gonna get to Deep Purple, but better late than never.
Jon played his C3 through Marshall for a short period, then with Leslie speaker as usual.
Jon Lord was and is a legend
Listen to. Deep Purple "Hard loving man" and you will see. Where iron maiden got their early sound from 😉
That song is so ahead of its time.
The gallop riff
OMG to that guitar solo is right! The control Blackmore had with his picking hand at that early age is stunning.
When the song ended i almost thought u two was going to light a cigarette and reflect over what just happened..... 😉
So majestic. So solemn, also so exciting. Child in Time has it all. Looks like the lady reacted exactly like Purple wanted the listener to react. Tears because it is sad but then again it is exciting. The song has it all.
"Made in Japan" is still the best recorded live album to this day. Gotta listen to their tracks live. This is so impressive
When a blind man cries - deep purple
And Soldier of Fortune
Yes, yes, yes. @HalfLifeSistah, if you read this - definitely try out this song. Wolf will enjoy that one as well. When a Blind Man Cries was released as B side, it's not well known among those who have not followed DP closely and it has not been on radios too much. Yet it is an absolute beauty.
Studio version. From Coverdale era I would suggest 'Burn', 'Stormbringer' and 'You fool no one'.
the metallica cover ain't bad either
From the same album check Hard Loving Man. That song made Lars Ulrich wanna play metal! First metal song ever. 1970. Listen to it and you know what I mean
Actually the whole album is Epic!!
The keyboard player had to be as hard as the guitarist so he hooked a Marshall amp to his Hammond.
Thanks for this. I was born early 50's, so this is my teenage era kind of music. ANd hearing this brings it all back to me. those were the days. Together with moody blues pink floyd doors etc. Thanks again. (Wolf how could you have missed this? ;-). BUt I respect you for just acknowledging that you overlooked it. We all like to be surprised sometimes.
I remember buying this masterpiece of an album in 1970 and playing it that evening on my hifi that I'd been putting together during the late 60's and being stunned by every track - I still have that album and it's as relevant now as it ever was in my progressive rock collection. Fabulous.
This one of those rare songs that is almost invariably better live, it's made a crew of amazing musicians to riff off each other.
G - a, G - a, F-G, G - a is one of the best backing tracks ever. I could lead for hours over this.
I regard the 70's as the most iconic when it comes to good music, which genre whatsoever. But then again, I'm a child of the seventies... ;-)
Some of my personal favorites: Roxy Music, Santana, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Bread, CCR and there are so many more...
After so many years since my brother, myself and the boy from neighbourhood - Dean, my best friend ever, (may he rest in peace) who introduced deep purple to us, use to have séance of listening deep purple seating on the floor around the gramophone, on vinyl record, hundreds and hundreds of times, I listened to child in time from beginning to the end again. The symbolism within the song is enormous, the prelude to the guitar solo its like somebody shooting with an automatic gun, let alone the actual solo where Ritchie is telling us a story from his heart, not even a single note wasted - every word /tune on its place. The end of the song.... apocalypse, end of the world. And so on and on, emotionally told story from their hearts. As they say music is international language no need for translation or finding the meaning of the song. A master peace which can rank with Beethoven's, Mozart's and all great composers works that will never die.
Got to see them twice, phenoms! As another mentioned, their album "Made in Japan' - a huge, epic album!
Ian Gillan had an epic rock voice. He also sang the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar - Original Concept Recording (1970). If you're not familiar it's a Rock Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. That would make for an excellent reaction. Much of the music is funky Rock, and of course the story is familiar to millions of people.
That's okay. I've listened to this song for many many years and I still get tears in my eyes. ☺
Soldier Of Fortune-Deep Purple
I love this reaction. She is I love the song. He has just realised where all his favourite bands got their influences.
The best 2 Child in Time Live versions are Scandanavian Nights Live in Stockholm and Scandanavian Nights Live in Denmark, the best album to get into Deep Purple live is the double album In Concert from 1970 and 1972, that album has something for everyone.
Great reaction, guys! I think Wolf looked more "shook" than sistah during this particular epic & emotional track. 😊
Thank you 💜
Mark ll ruled!! ❤💋
I just found your channel. I loved seeing you cry!
Deep Purple has some EPIC music. I also love the Glenn Hughes/ David Coverdale era of Purple. Check out the song 'BURN' it includes Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale
Yes definitely 'Burn'
"Burn" from California Jam 1974! I love it, Glenn was phenomenal!
Also 'Stormbringer' and 'You fool no one'.
Also check out April and their cover versions of Hey Joe and Help!. Completely different style but Jon Lord’s organ really shines here.
Just looking at the both of you. Ststah is rocking out an Wolf trying to compose here. So cute! Keep on digging in the DP world. 🤘🤘
Highway Star from double live album Made in Japan. Probably the best and one of the most influential straight forward rock songs ever.
For reference…Hendrix was still ALIVE when this was recorded
Ritchie was on ANOTHER LEVEL
Agree, with a clear sound and a power soul.
Great video! I remember taping this song off radio when I was about 12 years old and flipping out over it. I have a magazine from the mid 90s where Bruce Dickinson names this record (In Rock) as his favourite album of all time, and the one that set him on the path to being a singer.
Born early 70ies O grew up with this song. It can haunt you. It's a masterpiece. Funny to watch a metal dude who doesn't know this.
After now 4 years, You need to revisit the song in It's eternal masterclass, the 1970 BBC live version, near to 1 bn views soon, which dwarfes the studio version imho.
Good reaction Wolf...Way back, when this album first came out, my cousin (now deceased)just played side A, then was about to change records. I said, "Wth, aren't you going to play Child in Time?" At my request he did, after hearing it, he happily thanked me and blasted it 5 more times that night!
It's like Stairway To Heaven in that it starts out mellow and soulful then slams into you with an outrageous guitar solo.
"When a Blind Man Cries" ,that's a song i cant keep my eyes dry on.
Steve Harris from Iron Maiden have Deep Purple as one of his favorite bands, and one can clearly hear that in the music he writes.
Ian is one of my favorite rock singers! My dad was the one who turned me onto Deep Purple with the live Made in Japan album. My life changed with that one! Thank you fir your reaction, it’s great to see other people finding new music!
Hi folks the 70's were a truly diverse decade from Slade, T Rex Sweet Mud etc to Elton, John, Rod Stewart, Bowie and Roxy Music, all that going on alongside Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Yes and Genesis then Abba Sparks and of Course Punk. We didn't realise at the time but we were truly blessed when it came to music. The only blip was John Travolta and Olivia Newton John Garbage.
I see the reaction of you guys during the breakdown after the 2nd verse and still get goosebumps. I mean it’s a band at the height of their powers and all the members firing at all cylinders. Awesome!!! 🤘🏻
You should react to 1970's live performance from this song...It will blows your head 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
It is amazing.
More than made in Japan? "I forgive you becouse you don t know what you say"!
My fave!
I am so pleased to see a reaction to the studio version. The live versions are great and have peaks of utter brilliance but usually countered with the equivalent of musical doodling. This version is PERFECTLY crafted and formed.
Awesome reaction, guys!
I often have musical dreams, and I've dreamt this song all the way through while it tears me up emotionally, just as it does in real life.
It's tragically timeless because it fits not only the Vietnam War, which was the inspiration, but also every war, every terrorist attack, every crazed shooting ever.
The screams are so intense and the raw
sound so fitting that even though it makes me cry, it's still a masterpiece that I can't help but listen to all the way through once it starts.
Thanks for the excellent review! You guys make a lovely pair!
Check out another epic song by this band called 'Soldier of Fortune'
This was one of the songs that hit high in the all time top 100 in the Netherlands, but I believe it wasn't recorded as a single (impossible to press on 45 rpm single). Oh and I strongly suggest Jimi Hendrix -- Voodoo Chile. After all he was one of the pioneers of metal.
Yeah, and Ritchie admitted they were stealing from Jimi a lot.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this rock masterpiece. It blew me away too when I first heard it and Ritchie Blackmores guitar in this song is virtually unbeatable
Together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple made up the "unholy trinity" of British hard rock and heavy metal during the genre's 1970s golden age.
This is definitely one of my all-time favorite classic songs! It was also the inofficial song against the Vietnam war, and ranked number one in the UKs "If you were alone on an island and could choose only one song to bring with you" special ranking list.
Back in the day there was a concert almost every month. You could hardly see the group for the smoke in the air. Crazy times. I was a teen in the 60s and saw some pretty wild shows.
Very nice reaction and commemts both, especially the girls. He has the soul of a rocker. 5 great musicians, 5 true masters of their instruments. By the way, this song is true masterpiece for all time and had a great impact on future generations of great musicians and great bands, as well as the band itself. I would especially like to mention that this song itself, as well as the singer of "Deep Purple" - Ian Gillan, according to his own confession had a great influence on Bruce Dickinson from "Iron Maiden". Deep Purple is one of the greatest bands of all time.
I loved the expression change on Wolf as soon as the Bolero and then the shuffle or gallop started, it was...Maiden!
The great ones take their cue from the Masters- Deep Purple!
Keep in mind this album was released in 1970. Way ahead of its time in my opinion. I've been a DP fan since I was a little boy as the result of my older brother playing these incredible records throughout the early to late 1970's. I've also had the pleasure of seeing them in person back in the mid 1980's for the Perfect Strangers tour. Needless to say they brought the house down, literally. Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida was closed soon after the DP concert as they found the walls and beams to have developed cracks due to the high decibel levels. I had a hard time hearing for a few days after also. Great band of the likes we may never see or hear again. RIP Jon Lord. P.S., you should do a reaction on DP's Fireball... talk about hard rock...
Haha this is such a great song. It brings back memories of me and my bestie going through a few months of playing all the oldies when we got home from work and had chill out time with beer. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeplin, Blue Oyster Cult. so good.
Really, Danielle?! So coool! I'm jealous! I wish I could sit and listen to music with youuu ♥
Theres a reason that Zep, Purple and sabath are known as the unholy trinity .
Happy to see you both, love the reaction :)
Deep purple was one of the first metal bands we heard at that time we never heard anything like this before. It was heavy metal to us at the time
DP are so under appreciated IMHO.
No way man!
Certainly underrated in America. They got much more respect outside of the states... such a shame.
Not in Europe!
I was waiting for your reaction to THE note...was not disappointed. And overall I think you see why those of us who have been listening to In Rock for 50 years still do! Great reactions! I certainly understand the tears... :-)
I’m surprised you don’t know who deep purple are because they influenced all the bands you’re probably into.. also spawning speed metal and thrash.. listen to Highway star-lazy- flight of the rat -space Trucken. And burn the song storm bringer as well. The last two Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals, But this version of purple mk2 was as talented & as good as anybody out during that time including Zepplin.
I love that your reactions are so different. He is so taken aback he doesn’t know what to do with himself and she is so taken aback she can’t control her emotions. I think that’s awesome!!!!!!
A masterpiece start to finish ! If you put this into musical context, Led Zep, Deep Purple, then Early Judas Priest , we can hear the voice, the power, and the scream as its developes in these early years where heavy metal was not even born yet. This is the foundation built by bands n people who had no idea and just followed their instincts.
It's pure and fresh and written as the path was in front of them. I love this, just imagine hearing this for the first time back in the day ! Holy Moly !
Thanks for sharing.
Metal lerv from down under \m/\m/
The most amazing solo
To be composed!
By the one and only
Richie Blackmore!
The live version is even better👍
No,nothing can touch this.
Wow ... a great childhood memory. My very favorite back in the days. Slightly colored by the fact that my first kiss actually happened while this song was playing. Wish I could relive that time. A different world.
This is the first time I paid more attention to wolfs reaction! :-D Cant believe you missed that! Ian Gilian is a great singer, he was also Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. If you want more Purple Songs that influenced Rock and Metalbands try Highway Star and Fireball.
Really enjoyed seeing you guys hearing this for the first time - very special song for me - keep up the good work!
Check out their earlier albums, I think🤔late 60's "Book of Taliesyn" & "Shades of Deep Purple" if you like this, trust me, You'll love these two albums!!😉👍🏼
British rock at that time: Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc. etc. Truly golden times. I'm glad I was a teenager at that time.
