You’re welcome🤟 I'm glad you liked it.
Do Highway star next time. A lot of "simple" riffs, too😆😆😆
Great choice of both band and song, thank you.
@@DrSkeff You’re welcome! Still mind blowing after 50+ years
Thank you so much for your support on Patreon and introducing us to such an amazing song. This was an absolute treat.
@@Hollywood6IX Thank you too! Of course I support yoy, you’re my favorite reactors❤ Always positive and open minded. Keep up the good work.
@@Hollywood6IX Deep Purple is huge!! this is only the beggining, amazing band! Highway Star or Space Truckin next please.
Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath are the "Unholy Trinity" of metal. They are held at that level.
Si señor, esa es la la definición exacta de los 3, la Trinidad del Hard Rock
#thancrow, I get where you are coming from but I don't see Zeppelin and Deep Purple as METAL. It's all good though cuz you ARE right about how great ALL 3 were. 🎶🎸🥁🎵🎹🎙 ✌🏽👍🏽
all due respect....LZ on another level....they are much more dynamic and versatile than sabbath and deep purple.
@@davidgreene7676 , I agree 100 %!!!👍🏽
Deep Purple aren't metal. They're purely a hard rock band with massive blues influence. They also have a middle eastern vibe Blackmore threw in there.
Led Zeppelin isn't metal. They're a blues/rock/folk band that evolved from that into The Greatest Hard Rock band of all time.
Sabbath played heavy metal. They were one of the first, but by 1972, that were the ONLY heavy metal band. For most of the 70's.
Yeah, a blues influence for sure, but they started heavy metal
All 5 members of the group were masters at their instruments,no sampling no overdubs,just pure music
Son músicos haciendo música. No como lo de hoy en día.
Ritchie Blackmore is, without question, one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Too right.! Also Jon Lord was one of the greatest rock band keys player
@@scifimonkey3 Totally agree 👍
It could be argued that Deep Purple was the most talent-packed band of the era. If any of them weren't the top of the game,there was a bloody struggle to climb over them. Nothing approaching a slouch.
My GOAT for guitarists.
Even Yngwie Malmsteen thinks so.
That, boys, is called real talent. Legendary live performance.
Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, indeed one of the greatest guitarist from the 1970s! He also famously founded the band Rainbow, of which launched Ronnie James Dio's career! Blackmore was notable for including Neo-Classical styles in his solos and played with Arpeggiation, of which many guitarists in Metal took and built upon. He's very influential!
My dad loves this band and it is the first band that started using the organ after this band. Many bands used it too. One time we bought tickets for my parents to go see them. My mom and dad thought that they were to old for it. But they enjoyed it so much.
Lay Down Stay Down has one of the all time lead solos....Blackmore is the Goat imo.
"He's very influential!"
And that is an enormous understatement. He is all all-time guitar legend. Without question. Christ, even the legends regard him as a legend.
Purple, Zeppelin, and Sabbath created hard rock. There were others contributing, but these bands created so much great music over their careers.
Ian Gillen, the lead singer, was the original singing voice of Jesus on the album version of Jesus Christ Superstar, mostly on the strength of his ability to hit those high notes.
That's how I was introduced to music. I'm 53, been playing guitar and singing since I was 6.
Cracked me up when Buddy says "That guy's got a voice"! I'm thinking: yeah, just wait for it, pal! That's Ian Gillen - you are not going to believe what that man could do!
When he mentioned Robert Plant like vocals, I thought.... Naaa, way better than Plant. One of THE greatest voices in rock!
@@BritIronRebel He's certainly a tighter, cleaner, more disciplined voice than Plant. Plant's voice is/was raw and powerful in a way few in his genre could match, but it didn't have a lot of control behind it; Gillen knows how to hold back, not blow out his vocal chords and save it for the big one.
Yes. Producers originally wanted Robert Plant to sing Jesus until they heard this song. Another fact is that Gillan recorded all his parts alone without having the benefit of hearing the other singers. He recorded everything in one afternoon, according to his autobiography.
Deep Purple! Love them so much; they have been my favorite since I was 14!
Fun fact: Deep Purple has put out at least one top ten album in each of the past 7 decades, including the 2020s!
Already released at least two albums in a decade, this record will not be broken soon, because groups that released 2 or more albums in the 60s no longer exist.
@@ninoorjon Even longer when considering these are Top Ten albums I'm referring to! Deep Purple is just awesome!
Ah yes , people actually playing instruments, Love to see youngster's jaws drop when they see it. I miss the 70's.
As much as I love "Smoke on the Water"... this song slays it, my absolute favorite Deep Purple song.
Hollywood,”Are they playing in church?!”
Me *spits out drink laughing! Great reaction, guys.
Ian Paice is a monster of a drummer. Facts 🔥👍🤘
This lineup of Deep Purple is the best ever. Gillan's vocals are otherworldly, Lord's keyboard is fire, Glover and Paice solid as bedrock for the rythym and Blackmore is a guitar virtuoso.
Lucky people got to see this lineup!🤚
Killer show in support of Perfect Strangers🔥
Need to listen to him in Jesus Christ Superstar.
One of the Best band in history, so simple as that
This is one of the reasons why Ritchie Blackmore, who was also in Rainbow, needed to be in the last guitarists competition. Also gotta get to Space Truckin, My Woman From Tokyo, and my favorite, Highway Star
They are mentioned in the same vein, the "big guns" of British 70's rock were Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Who, and the Stones
No autotune back then, just pure talent.
I'm so glad you picked this 1970 live version. It's my favourite, way above the album version (though that's also great). I've heard that back in the day, TV audiences were instructed not to react much until the end of the songs when on camera. Though here I suppose they were all moved to stunned silence and tears, as I was when I first heard it.
In 1970 there was not only the Vietnam War (which Gillan composed this in protest against) but among many other sad things the Kent State Massacre, where the Ohio National Guard fired into a group of unarmed students in a peaceful anti-war demonstration, tragically wounding dozens and killing four: three demonstrators and one passerby who was just walking to class when a stray bullet hit. 😢 This song also makes me think of that. It's a timeless classic that is sadly relevant to every war or crazed shooting incident ever.
The album version may not have been released as a single, or it didn't get much air play due to it's length. Slow buildups and beat changes/ progressions were very common at the time. They felt like chapters in a narrative. Songs had time to breath and take listeners along on the journey. I miss that in today's Pop/Rock music!
I've heard that Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were considered the founders of Heavy Metal, but maybe you knew that already.
Thanks for a great review! 👏😁 I've liked and subbed!
PS: Fun fact: Ian Gillan sang the role of Jesus on the original "Jesus Christ, Superstar" album.
And last but not least, please review Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Voodoo Child: ua-cam.com/video/wgIB1OL09H0/v-deo.html SRV is the GOAT if you ask me.
Very true. My favourite as well the cameras concentrate on the individuals not supposedly smart arse graphics.
This is a song that really illustrated Deep Purple's mastery of dynamics.
The legendary John Lord on the Hammond Organ, inspired MANY Keyboardists in Rock
And of course, no one can forget Ian Gillan on Vocals, the precursor to your Rob Halford's of Metal! Also briefly fronted Black Sabbath for one album following the departure of Dio.
Born Again. Great but underrated album
Do not compare this talent to Robert Plant! Ian is on another level! No comparison! This song is a masterpiece! Beautiful……just beautiful!💕💕💕💕💕
Absolutely.
Amen. No comparison.
Plant is overrated, better Peter Gabriel & a Ritchie Blackmore vocal-wise.
Robert Plant once stated that Ian Gillan was just a screamer, allegedly.
Five brilliant musicians working together as one of the greatest hard rock groups ever. Ian Gillan -- what a voice. Jon Lord on keys, and Blackmore on guitar. Ian Paice one of the greatest drummers, and Roger so solid on bass.
My number one anti-VIetnam War songs. It came out when I was 14, and my draft number was 19. This song perfectly captured my anger and despair at a war-filled future. Richie Blackmore great guitarist, and Jon Lord, one of the greatest organ players, too, and then Ian Gillian on vocals...oh, Hell, this is just a GREAT band.
Mine is feel like I'm fixing to die rag..by country Joe.
Deep Purple were one of the big 4 in the 70s, all legendary musicians
This was the greatest decade of music.Most were classically trained too.
This song was so far ahead of it’s time people did not know how to react.The whole band had so much talent….Take a look at their first album cover…maybe the best one ever- called “Flight of the Rat”,and has their faces carved in Mount Rushmore.
That s**t is riveting right there, these guys created something that still stirs and captivates 50 plus years later. Frickin talent
Trash Talkers - they ARE mentioned in the same vein as Zepplin, Sabbath, etc... just not here in America. They literally dominated worldwide, but the US market really stomped out so many great artists... and they continue to do so. Thankfully, through the internet, we are finally getting better exposure to bands outside America.
When I was in the Military overseas, I'd hear these American rock groups, buy their albums and jam to them. Came back stateside and couldn't believe my friends never heard of some of them. Of course greatness can't be squelched forever.
RUSH is another case in point- little to no exposure in the U.S., outside of their dogged touring and word of mouth. Yet, they are only behind the Beatles and Rolling Stones by the metric of # of Gold-selling albums.
@@odochartaighofodonegal9815 Agreed!
Rockers here in the U.S definitely knew Deep Purple. Their shows were always packed with fans.
@@DethmaOccure There were also UK bands that weren't known very much here in the states like Atomic Rooster, Budgie, Camel, Status Quo, Wishbone Ash, UFO,
You must listen to the studio version. The solo is just insane.
All the guys in this Deep Purple lineup were born in the late 40's -- so early 20's in this performance.
Yep. They don't make songs like this anymore, more's the pity.
This was the ultimate DP line-up.
Gillan on vocals, Glover on bass, and the core three : Paice on drums, Blackmore on guitar and Lord on keyboards.
Great reaction.
Deep Purple had a unique sound. Still adore them.
Kids could really play those instruments back then! We should really bring back music programs in the schools!
Keep this masterpiece going. It is a massive jam version of Child in time but this is what Purple was all about, raw power and emotion delivered by brilliant musicians.
Deep Purple got their flowers, and for a time were the biggest band in the world. Saw them live in '74. I regard Ritchie Blackmore as the Godfather of neo-classical electric guitar.
When I was a kid in the 80s, Deep Purple was mentioned in the same sentence as Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. They're classic AF, and one of the biggest bands of the early 70s. Jethro Tull was another huge band at that time, sold tons of records, but they're not a "household name" anymore. Anyways, I dug the review, thanks!
Us older guys were lucky to grow up with such musical wonder and beauty as our daily ear candy! Glad to see you loving it.
Ritchie is by far in the top 10 rock guitarist of all time. He played everything and his sound and style are unique.
Hell yeah, Hollywood's reaction to this is exactly how I felt the first time. I was NOT prepared for how fuckn GROOVY this song was, and the high notes OMG. Classic shit right here, awesome choice guys!
Deep purple - Perfect stranger
Deep purple.. song..PERFECT STRANGERS
Every member was going off in this one and I love the message behind it
DP was my first concert 😍 blew my 17 year old mind! My ears buzzed for 2 days! Freaking awesome ❤🍀
You guys would have been great children of the 70’s. So many great musical experiences. Led Zep, Floyd, DP, Rush, VH, Sabbath, Ozzy, AC/DC, Stones, etc. We loved and embraced the best of the music and survived the worst
About 7 months ago you guys reacted to Stargazer by Rainbow. That is this guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore. He formed Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio after he left Deep Purple. He is truly one of the guitar greats.
In music the simple things are often the best.
And ... a guy like Mr. Blackmore has no need to show off because everybody knows how good he is.
Smoke on the Water is good, but the song, Highway Star is the pinnacle of Deep Purple's talent. Every instrumental performance in the track should be what all other rock songs are compared to. It may just be the perfect classic rock song.
nah bro, Lazy
@@lmsrox2 you’re lazy, you just stay in bed.
This is why everyone into rock, should bow down and worship Deep Purple ! xx
Every member of this band was a virtuoso on his instrument, and Gillan was probably the most talented singer in rock history.
one of the best rocksongs ever. Guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore. But i love Ian Gillan the singer.
Love the reactions we get from stuff we were listening to 51 years ago! Let us know if you're still listening in 51 years time! Deep Purple - Made In Japan should be your next stop - renowned as one of the best live double albums ever - and yet unedited! Has the classic version of Smoke On The Water on there for you too - along with Lazy, Highway Star, Child In Time and, for me, one of the best live performances ever - Strange Kind Of Woman! Enjoy!
Strange Kind of Woman!! Lindo duelo de Gillan y Blackmore!!!
An old-school old fart here. Pleasure to see you react to bands who paved the way for many many bands to come and play hard rock or heavy rock, if you will. Pioneers, legends, virtuosos. You should react to "Highway Star" too. But make sure you are not driving at the same time. Can cost you a lot :-D Keep up the good work guys, says your fan from Finland. By the way, you have to be a good guitar player to play it simple but with a style. You just play what is needed for the song to work :-) Not to showcase it all in every song. They are still active and on the road at the moment too.
I like their reaction when they realize how wrong they were to judge Richie on just smoke on the water as a basic guitarist. You couldn't be a basic guitarist in this era, everyone was a basic guitarist then, you had to be something special to make it big. He is definitely very skilled as is the entire band and severely underrated.
The best version of this song IMHO is the one from LIVE IN JAPAN Album...an immortal masterpice .
"...he's got a voice."
You don't even know...
Give "Lazy" a listen. Same band (and members).
yes, "Lazy" is good choice, Live in Copenhagen 1972
I was thinking exactly the same thing - listen to "Lazy"
@@ninoorjon yes yes yes!!! This one for sure!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes Lazy
It's always fun to watch people watch this, knowing that y'all have no idea what you're in for.
5 individuals, each among the best in the world at what they do (seriously), they come together and it's otherworldly insane fantastic amazing..........
This group is very English and highly respected in Europe and Asia. Child In Time is a song about the Cold War, not about Vietnam.
I was always interested in the rappers' reaction to the song of Deep Purple - No One Came, this is not rapp, but a recitative in 1971.
Hey guys. Thanks for checking it out. I have always been a Deep Purple fan. My first musical purchase was Kiss Love Gun. My second was Deep Purple. Check out that album. Love it all but my favorite is chasing shadows. April is a great song too. Jon Lord (Keys) RIP wrote that about a nightmare he had. Absolutely amazing. Always great work from you guys!
Deep Purple were one of the three founding bands of Heavy Metal, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Those three were considered the Unholy Trinity of 1970s Heavy Metal. However, they are often the underdog of the three. Whereas Led Zeppelin popularised the Arena-stomping guitars, bass and drums of Metal, and Black Sabbath founded the heaviness of the guitar and the lyrical elements of Metal, Deep Purple brought the professionalism of the instrumentation and musicianship, while mainly working behind the scenes to help develop the genre. As I said in previous comments, Ian Gillan eventually joined Black Sabbath and Ritchie Blackmore founded another 1970s Heavy Metal band Rainbow, of which launched Dio's career. This band had such a wide impact on Metal, and yet they aren't as spoken about in comparison to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
Unfortunately, it was likely Smoke On The Water that was responsible for it. While it is still a great song and has more than just the riff, it was the riff that became such a big hit and, though it was often the starting riff for many guitarists when they first picked up the instrument, the whole band would often be regulated to just that one riff. It's the most popular and yet most simple 0-3-5 riff (Notes played in the order of the open fret, 3rd fret, and 5th fret on the guitar) and many memes and inside jokes were built off of it alone. Because of all of this, it became a song of ridicule for how simple the riff (not the entire song) was, and thus those who hadn't head any other songs from them would regulate them to just that riff.
So in a way, Smoke On The Water was the best and the worst thing to happen to Deep Purple.
I'd say Jimi Hendrix is the founder of heavy metal
I have to agree smoke on the water is a good song, it's far too overplayed, especially when there are masterpieces like this in their catalog.
I also think Sabbaths Paranoid is very over hyped, and over-rated
To live in those years was to know such great music and much greater freedoms than today's America can appreciate
Deep Purple- Hush should be next. Such a great song and band.
"Lazy" is even better but they should do both.
Deep Purple is awesome because they are all great individual musicians. Their Machine Head album is epic (Highway Star, Space Truckin’, Lazy… and, oh ya, Smoke on the Water). I agree with Kinch below, the song Lazy displays their artistry in full. Plus is jams.
This is the music I grew up with. Still love it. Also the era of Pink Floyd.
Ian Gillian, also called the hairy scream.
This was a live recording setting and therefore the public had to keep very quiet.
Kudos for recognizing the genius of Jon Lord, one of the top three rock keyboardists of all time (with Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, IMHO anyway). Just a small ample of his capabilities here.
Also Ian Gillian, vocalist extraordinaire, the original Jesus Christ Superstar.
Ritchie Blackmore you already mentioned, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass, the talent runs deep in this group...
Jon Lord had a background as a classically trained pianist. Sadly he passed from pancreatic cancer in 2012 at the age of 71.
Kudos?
@@soloparaplaystation6624 Kudos is "Praise given for a positive achievement."
As you guys have just seen, Deep Purple were one of the most insanely talented bands of all time. You really should check out the studio version of "Child In Time", which is off their legendary DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK album from 1970.
This live version is so much better than the studio version!! 🥰😎 PS I saw Deep Purple in 1972 !!!!💜😎
If you like that pipe organ Hollywood you would love highway Star that's one of the purple's biggest hits side note when I was 4 years old my mother used to brag because I could sing all the words to Knocking at your back door another great deep purple song great band great reaction choice guys love you guys trash talker for life
You gotta do "knocking at your Backdoor", "Burn" and "Highway Star" ! much love from germany
Feeling old now. One of THE best bands to ever play.
One of the best live band ever.
50ty Years ago and still the Greatest Hard Rock Song ever in Music History!In 50 Years Nobody will talk abot Rap anymore.....Child In Time,one of the Greatest Songs ever against WAR and VIETNAM WAR in particular.....with Deep Purple/Rainbow/Dio you entered one of the Greatest Rabbit Holes in Rock History for sure !
Great song from the same album, Deep Purple In Rock: Speed King.
The greatest live performance ever, 1971, Deep Purple! They inspired everyone!
PS remember that amazing guitar work in Stargazer by rainbow... That is the same guitar player here Ritchie Blackmore. And yes smoking the water is a basic basic ref, but it has become immortal because it's something guitar students have been able to play due to its simplicity and it's catchy qualities I grew up on Rush, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and the most frog of progressive bands from that era but I still love her if that's so simple I can sing it
Deep Purple were one of the British bands that conquered the world in the 70s. You've mentioned Floyd and Zep...there's Black Sabbath / Free...Yes and Genesis in the Prog Rock world and a host of other bands...who influenced other bands! But it's good to hear you guys enjoying Purple, who were an awesome live band! Thank you! You could do worse than listen to Purple's "When A Blind Man Cries" - one of my favourites, and "Machine Head" the album!!
In the 60s and 70s the British musicians culture ruled the world. They seemed to challenge each other and made each other better. In fact Jimi Hendrix made it big in Britain before he made it big in his home country America. Frank Zappa was bigger in Europe than America.
50 years ago. No electronic wizardry, no auto tune.
DP was a very big name group with great songs. "Space Truckin," " My Woman From Tokyo," "Smoke on the Water, (was a true story that they witnessed), "Lazy" and the great "Highway Star". Every sound came from real live instruments (no sampling) in those days! The Hammond B3 organ, with the add on Leslie speaker unit, has been a favorite of musicians since it was introduced in the 1930s. Was a tube based organ used by most of the top bands and a workhorse of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman and John Lord (3 of the best organists ever).
Nothing out today compares to this
Try Highway Star by Deep Purple. It will blow your socks off
deep purple has a lot of great songs. pictures of home is my favourite by them.
Considered one of the first hard rock metal bands with Black Sabbath. Ian gillan played the original Jesus Christ superstar has one of the most powerful vocals out there back then
The are named in the same category as Zeppelin, Floyd and Sabbath. The fact you don't know them, does not mean others are not aware of how great this band is. 😉 If possible, do the live version of "smoke on the water" from the live album "Made In Japan". The song is based on a true story, by the way. Greets from Germany! ua-cam.com/video/uRCz3k4wRmU/v-deo.html
I would not put LZ in the same cat as Deep Purple....LZ folded after JB left this world(If John P Jones had died it would have been the same..no more LZ). DP on the other hand had so many talented members it could go on without lead singer and bassist and be as popular as before. Machine Head and Burn make my case.
@@BlazinRiver1 and where is your proof that LZ would be different if they carried in with a different Drummer??? They hold the World Record for most Ticket requests, without Bonham.... so......
Hard to find a more talented band than Deep Purple. Legends 👏
Ritchie Blackmore, is definitely one of the greats on guitar. Ritchie was also the guitar player on Rainbow's "Stargazer", which you two reacted to some months back. Guitar riffs in general are easy to play, it has more to do with creativity vs skill. A really good riff is catchy, it acts like a hook for the song.
Love Ian Gillan’s voice/singing. So good!
“…Frank Zappa and the Mothers….” Yes, we gotta do “Smoke in the Water”! Haha
Richie Blackmore not only was in the legendary band deep purple but he is also in the legendary iconic bands dio and rainbow
He never was a member in Dio, Dio was a member in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
Oh yes. The Hammond organ. It's usually accompanied by a thing called a Leslie cabinet. It's basically a speaker cabinet with a built-in amp. It has an 18" speaker in the bottom that faces upwards. On top of that there's a rotating baffle which spins slowly. In the top of the cabinet there's a twin horn speaker which also rotates. The keyboard player had a foot switch. When he presses it the motor speeds up the rotation providing a vibrato which is a really special sound that can't be replicated by sampling. As a musician for over 40 years and done a shit load off studio work I know that you really can't replicate the nuances of analogue keyboard sounds. Great reaction guys. Love to see people appreciating real music.
But they are mentioned in the same cohort as PF and LZ! DP are one of the best rock bands by any chart or rating.
Loved your reaction to this.
I first heard the song in 1970 or around that time and have always considered it a masterpiece. My favourite Deep Purple song.
Back in the early1970s in the UK Deep Purple were considered to be in the same league as Led Zeppelin. When talking about that genre of music back then (although at that time we hadn't actually heard of the word genre and even if we did we wouldn't have known what it meant!) Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin were all talked about in the same breath. In the early 1970s, in my experience, they were thought to command similar status.
Uriah Heep were another (under rated) band that were often considered to be of similar regard.
My childhood was during this time. I remember the main topic of discussion among teenagers was the Vietnam draft. They were all terrified that their number would come up, and they'd have to go face death in order to save French Imperialism. That constant anxiety is probably why they looked older than they were.
Deep Purple is one of the best rock bands ever.
I couldn’t help smile when he said that’s a simple riff.!
To us from the 70's this was in the Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Yes level very much listened to by all
First album I ever bought was Deep Purple, saw Blackmore and Rainbow I’m Australia in 1976 and is still the most memorable concert I’ve ever seen, Blackmore’s playing is true hard rock and they were so professional, masters st work, never seem anything like it since
The studio version is great. The band is great, they were around before Black Sabbath and were one of the most influential Rock Bands In Rock.
Wellcome to Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore, amazing band
This Deep Purple line up consisted of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice. The song was released in 1970 though the band started in 67/68 and along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath they were known as the Unholy Trinity as all three started around the same time with similar credentials in early rock. There has arguably been no other band with such far reaching influence as Deep Purple not just because of their music and members but also the other bands and their members who were also once in Deep Purple. Rainbow, Whitesnake, Dio, The Ian Gillan band and many many more. I believe the band are now on their MkVIII (8 different line ups) with the classic MkII line up being regarded as the best and the one which has reformed three times over. To look at a line up of associated acts is just like looking at the last 50+ years of the evolution of rock so to say they're not held in the same esteem as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin I really think that it depends who you talk to. Highway Star is an absolute must if you decide to open this rabbit hole.
It was the 60's. Welcome to young people's anger and disgust at Vietnam. This was on one of the first albums I ever owned. I was a child listening to this not realizing the impact it had on me to this day.
Biggest underrated band of all time!!!
