    This song is a speeding ticket personified.
    The story goes that a reporter asked them how they wrote songs. Blackmore starting riffing on one note and Gillan started making up lyrics. They opened their show later that night with "Highway Star" Easy as that.
    Definitely my favorite Deep Purple song.

    This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth UK in 1971, when a reporter asked the band
    how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing
    a riff consisting of a single g repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top.
    the song was refined and was performed that same night.

I just thought it was especially cool that Alex had never heard it before. The expressions on both of your faces was priceless but thats what its all about when it comes to reaction videos. Now that I am technically a "senior citizen" I feel very fortunate to have had all this great music to listen to when I was young. At the time, we just took it all for granted. Its so refreshing to see that the younger generation is finally "discovering" these awesome tunes.

They had a reporter in tow who asked them how they wrote songs. Ritchie, grabbed his guitar & started hitting a 'G' chord over & over. Ian Gillan started ad-libbing vocals. They kept working on the song actually premiering it at the show later that night ! It opened most of their live shows thereafter ...

    Nobody gonna take my car
    I'm gonna race it to the ground
    Nobody gonna beat my car
    It's gonna break the speed of sound
    Ooh it's a killing machine
    It's got everything

You got to check out either space Truckin or Smoke on the Water. The both of us here's the lineup of the band.
    Ritchie Blackmore guitars, Ina Gillian vocals, harmonica, Roger Gloves , bass. Jon Lord, keyboard. Ina Paine drums. And Ritchie Blackmore was the one that formed the band in the very beginning.

Ian was looking out the bus window & started coming up with the lyrics. By the time they got to the gig they had this song written & practiced on stage & performed it that night!! 5 super talented dudes! One of my favorites is Perfect Strangers.

    Oh Man, Every time I hear this song, I am instantly taken back to a time, when I had a 1970 Roadrunner, 440 Magnum, pistol grip 4 Speed, the works! My friends & I would always be pushing that car to it's max, all while partying. This particular night we partied extra hard. My friend had hollowed out a freakin'"Crocket" mallot & made a pipe out of it! At one point it was so smokey in that car that from the front seat, you could not see if there was anyone even in the back seat?! Well, it was this night, that this song was playing and charged us all up! We got her up to 145 mph and still had some peddle to go when out of nowhere it started to rain. Just as I began to let off the accelerator, I hit those little reflectors that are used to divide the lanes. As soon as I hit those things, the car went completely sideways... at 145 mph! So, I figured "This was It," ya know. You don't come back from things like this. Suddenly and without any known reason that I could come up with, the car suddenly just snapped right back into place and we were able to slow down & straighten our shit out! But this was so weird that no one even spoke until we made it back into town! Whew! Everyone in my car were shaking like a leaf!
    So, do I really consider these "The Good Old Days?" I wonder.

    Great review! I saw Deep Purple in 1972 at the Jacksonville Coliseum. We had no idea what to expect. Ian Gillan states that they are going to play a new album that was to be released shortly: Machine Head. He was speaking to the audience in a gentle fashion and I thought this was going to be a quiet evening. It was open seating. I was on the floor (no seating) and I was about 30 feet from a set of column speakers to the right of the stage. First song: Highway Star. It looked like the speakers were leaving the boxes. I tried to move away. Everyone pushed forward. Unbelievably unreal!!! I'll never forget this concert! My hearing still has not recovered!

    On Deep Purple's tour bus, on the way to a gig in the UK, a reporter asked them how they wrote songs. Ritchie Blackmore then picked up an acoustic, started plucking a repetitive G note and Ian Gillan started improvising lyrics. Later that day the band fleshed the song out and "Highway Star" was played on stage for the first time that same night. All that us mere mortals can do is shake our heads in wonder.
