    I first heard Deep Purple as a first year student at Grammar School in 1974, and they've been Rockin' my world ever since. The Deep Purple family tree soon gave me a fantastic introduction to all the members'other bands and solo albums to collect and explore. My Rock library started to grow with branches following Gillan,Glover,Blackmore,Coverdale,Trapeze,Rainbow,Whitesnake and continues to branch out and gives me new band members to backtrack and research,and a prodigious amount of music,and musicians are still being added to my collection thanks to Deep Purple. :-)

    Machine Head (the LP) was d first record purchased by my brother. We spent many happy hours listening to it. My brother passed away this Jan, aged 70 yrs. I am 65 yrs. Missing my brother after he passed away, I wanted to connect to our shared past. I remembered Smoke on the Water. Downloaded the ringtone for my phone of the beginning of the song. Whenever my phone rings, I feel the shared past with him. The memories of grooving to this song. This is going to be my ringtone for a long time.😊 Thank you for explaining the genesis of this super song 🎸

    If you told music critics of the time, especially those working for the hard rock hating Rolling Stone Magazine, that *Smoke on the Water* would stand the test of time and still be a crowd favorite for 3 or 4 generations 52 years later, they would have thought you were mad. As it was, by 1976 they were declaring hard rock to be "dinosaur music" the moment punk and disco arrived. *Smoke on the Water* was their music poster for that declaration that hard rock was dead.

    My first Rock Concert I went to was 1972 or 73 and it was summertime Billy Preston opened for the Amazing Deep Purple who blew us all away. The crowd outside The Great Allentown Fairgrounds in Allentown Pennsylvania where their concert was held was sold out and concert goers of a couple hundred who could not get in overwhelmed security and crashed the fence. I was only 12 or 13 at the time. I went to many Rock Concerts since, but this Deep Purple concert is the most memorable. I am a lifelong fan and never stop listening. Thank you, Deep Purple, for the greatest music and memories.

I convinced them to release an MP3 from a new live CD to anyone who signed a petition for the Rock Hall of Fame on the website. US TV show Extra! did a segment on it as they were the first band to release an MP3 single.
    Bravo to see what started still doing these GOATS justice. Thanks for all the memories boys! - Ed Janx, with much love to Svante, Dave, Wolf, Rasmus, Andreas, and all good people from The Highway Star original fan pages🧡

    I played every song (as a keyboardist) with a band who all loved DP. I even had a souped up Leslie to get that gritty Jon Lord sound. But having spent my life writng and recording and developing my ear, I really hear how the Machine Head album somehow captures the stark, dreary cold of an empty Swiss hotel in the dead of winter. When Ian Gillan sings, "emptiness, eagles and snow," that to me is the description of the sound. Compare it with the Burn album and the difference will stand out.
