Always surprised that a band that was so huge in the 70s, that has sold 150 million albums is unknown.
É quê elas vieram da lua 🌙 duas lunáticas
Much more popular in the world outside USA...
@@MrPicky Oh, don't be telling Americans that there is a world outside the US, they'll lose their minds!
@@Wishes890 ahh sorry 🤦♂ - I will try to be more careful the next time 😅
Child in time is about the young kids sent the Vietnamese war and alot was conscripted it's actually a very haunting song the screams in the song are about the pain and agony the boys/men went through
Ian Paice, drummer of all times......
This song like others of 60's Generation was anti-war song on Vietnam War. Deep Purple members are from the UK seeing the carnage in Vietnam.
Except original keyboardist (Jon Lord) who passed on about 12 years ago, most of the originals (Mark III Lineup) are still playing today. Roger Glover (Bassist), Ian Paice (drums), and Ian Gillan (singer) are still in Deep Purple while original guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore is still doing his own solo band and his other band, Rainbow. All of them including Mark IV members, Glenn Hughes, Bassist and David Coverdale singer (They replaced Roger and Ian Gillan after Ritchie fired them) were inducted into Rock Hall of Fame. Speaking of Coverdale, he is retiring from touring after his own band, Whitesnake is finishing touring.
Momma Gap notice the audience being quiet. Reason is that this clip was from a live show. Live shows back then like today has rules for the audience when event is broadcasted on a network. Now, live events are delayed few seconds just in case of miscues, bad words, and wardrobe malfunctions.
I can hear that now that you said it. Definitely makes sense with the lyrics
This song is fantastic...
It's about Vietnam .
A lullaby for the people and soldiers there in the war .
Nice to see you ladies enjoying one of the most exceptional performances ever caught on film .
No fué para Vietnam...es contra la guerra en general. En esa época, también por la guerra fría. Deep Purple es un grupo británico, de la "trinidad", junto a Led Zeppelin y Black Sabbath. Influenciáron a muchísimas bandas, entre ellas, a Iron Maiden y Metallica 😊
And that was 1970 Live NO Amplifier or Synthesizer Voice Enhancement one of those, just what you see pure Talent on all Levels. This was the Time, when was still pure and a great Voice was a great Voice like Ian Gillian. The only thing i always asked myself, how t the People could sit so calm, no Movement or Excitement but then Live Auditions where held, in Big Stadiums as well as in little Music Shows, so that the Audience could nearly touch the Performers. Thank God i could be a part of that Time and Thank You both for listening to another Masterpiece and Great Band. Kudos
Thank you Ralph! I agree, so surprised to see the crowd very calm. I understand they were told to do that, but I wouldn’t have been able to stay still!
@@generationgapreacts Sometimes they record shows like these and don't want all the background noise. The Beatles stopped touring because they couldn't hear themselves on stage.
Ian Gillan rocks the world
This was always billed as an anti war song. My husband served in Vietnam along with two of his friends and he told me once all the the energy expended in the song sounded like the chaos that was war. Fortunately, they all came back alive. He saw them back in the day right after he came back from overseas and together we saw them a few years ago outside of Houston where we now live. Ian Gilliam is the frontman once again but at his age he cannot hit the notes he used to. No matter, we thoroughly enjoyed the concert! And yes the audience was told to be quiet because they were taping and this was in Sweden.
It was in England, but your post is very heartwarming.
Ian *Gillan*
@@ninoorjon No, this was in Sweden
@@YouDummy no, This was on Granada TV, and this is in England.
@@gavinhall6040 Yes, this is about the Cold War, at least that's how Gillan explains it, but the version of the loser is also valid.
“I’ve never heard of this group”
😲
God I feel old.
Because they became a phenomenon in the US.
Amazing song this live version is better than the album version
Deep Purple truly Amazing band glad you liked it
The keyboard was an Hammond organ played by none other than the late Jon Lord, who is probably the greatest player of his generation!
The golden age of music.
Together with zeppelin and sabbath one of the greatest 70s bands! The great
Agreed! We have really been enjoying these bands
Song is about war. I was in Vietnam when this song came out. The song was well received,...
Got goosebumps when i first bought in rock in 1970 i was 12 am 65 now still get goosebumps
Deep Purple don't get enough credit man. They are in my top 5 of best rock n roll bands of all time.
Yes,This is The Band that will never arrived again.Extreordinary talenth that put into one super song & Performent❤❤❤😮
1970 , i was 3 Years old , first time listen 1980 , Best Song of Deep Purple ever
Two Beautiful lady's jamming to classic Rock ! Awesome Deep Purple (Hush ) one of my favorites. Keep Dancing lady's
You're watching them all BUT we saw them all. No contest.
The show was meant to be part of a radio show, and in that era you were told to stay as quiet as possible. You will see crowds reacting to a lot of different bands the same way in that era.
I never knew they were told that. Interesting. Now that live version of Unchained Melody makes sense bc the audience doesn’t move!
It was recorded in a TV studio in Germany
Reminds me of old Jimi Hendrix live concert recordings. The wildest, most infectious, most high-energy music is playing and the audience is dead quiet until the song is over. Then everyone politely claps and maybe someone will whistle. I think people just hadn't learned how to react to that kind of music yet back then.
VIET NAM WAR!
@@terencebernard2337 at Granada TV Studios in Manchester, England
the best live video ever recorded of the best live band in rock history. For those discovering them now ... I recommend the live Made In Japan, but and especially because it is the best live performed by Deep Purple: Live in Stockholm 1970. To say they are insane is an understatement. No one has ever managed to mix hard rock, jazz and classical music as well as they did.
You are getting better and better at pausing at the right times Ladies ! YES, that audience WAS told to sit still and politely clap at the end...lol
I had a fantastic few Concert going years in my Hometown of London in the early 1970s and saw both Deep Purple and the following week: Creedence Clearwater Revival at The World famous: Royal Albert Hall in South West London with 5,000 others on each occasion and as both Gigs sold out, they let us in "Up In The Gods" for 25 PENCE or 34 CENTS....😀
That is crazy! A show like that would be in the 100's now! Maybe even an extra 0 for certain seats. You are so lucky. CCR is a great band too
@@generationgapreacts Hi. Thanks . It's 3.25am in London.
I can do better than that ! I, also, saw Pink Floyd ' debut:"Dark Side Of The Moon" with 18,000 others @ Earls Court, South West London, and they, outrageously, charged £1 or $1.34 and that Album broke the USA record for being in The Billboard "Top 200" for 14 successive years. ,lol and had a ticket for Led Zeppelin @ Wembley Arena in North West London for 75 PENCE so 4 World Class Groups in major London venues for £2.25 or $3 in 4 separate gigs. Downside? I'm 68 😥
@@Isleofskye You are so lucky to see so many fantastic concerts. I’m jealous!!! 😃❤️😊
I grew up with Purple zeppelin sabbath great music and stands the test of time.
Sabbath is another great band we haven't dived into yet.
100 percent live.
Everytime someone tells me he/she never heard of Deep Purple i'm thinking like "did you lived under a stone?"
But at least you fixed that now.
I grew up with my mom listening to Motown, so deep purple wasn’t exactly the style of music I had ever heard before.
From Australia , the great DEEP PURPLE , Peace from down under
Highway Star. Another one of their songs. You two will enjoy. Promise. 🙂
The greatest live band 1969-73. No one could touch them. Ian Gillan......wow.
ha, ha, ha a new generation....this was my youth 50 years ago...
actually at that time in europe, we were attentively listening (to music and words), then cheering. it was meant to be polite. especially in classical music you´re not supposed to utter a single sound, to this day. that being said, this is 1970. deep purple, led zeppelin, black sabbath, uriah heep originated about that year. so, people were exposed to what was to become heavy rock for the first time.
Certainly one of the iconic bands to come out of the late 60's with each position legendary. Crowd was told to be quiet for the filming.
Deep Purple were part of a rock trifecta. There are three rock bands that are considered the pioneers of heavy metal. They are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple. All 3 groups came along around the same time and influenced all heavy metal rock bands that came after them. "Child In Time" is one of Deep Purple's best songs. For another Deep Purple suggestion, you should try "Smoke On The Water". It is their most popular song and a rock classic.
Uriah Heep's influence has become apparent enough over the years that they're typically included with the other three as the big four.
Agreed. They should listen to the Live version of Smoke on the Water from Made in Japan. One of the most powerhouse live performances ever for my $$$. 🔥🔥
@@kevinmclaughlin1092 And my intro to heavy music in general.
Lot's of great memories from my early years. The music from that time was as good as it got in my opinion.
Heavy metal has a completely different feel to heavy rock. Not the same at all.
Classic song, classic band with the classic line-up. Ian Gillan, best wail and wounded moan in rock (by the way, he was Jesus in the original-and by far the best-recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. Another Deep Purple video I love is their Beat Club performance of “Highway Star”-the song was still not completely fleshed out at that point, but the performance is all gloriously raw, electric energy…
Along those lines, Ian doing Gethsemane from Superstar is worth a listen ...here: ua-cam.com/video/gOjyGy1NR4Y/v-deo.html
@@phogandivephogandive3885 Totally! His performance in "Gethsemane" if phenomenal!
OMG. OMG. I never knew that!!! I absolutely loved that movie with him as lead for JC! Now I recognize the voice!!! Amazing talent - some acting & incredible artist. Ladies, I recommend you watch that version of JCSS. All the music in it is phenomenal - by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Excellent movie. 😍😍😍
Así decía yo que cantaba como dios.
Deep Purple is one of the best bands ever and at one time had the record for the loudest band. Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist and Ian Paice is my favorite drummer.
Nothing fake here. No computers, no auto tune, just people playing and singing. Just talent!
I commented on the audience on another reaction vid, and apparently they were told to keep perfectly still and quiet out of respect. And yeah, the song is reported to be about Vietnam specifically, and war and suffering in general.
Everyone is surprised by the behavior of the audience. Please remember that this kind of music was revolutionary at the time. The audience was well-mannered people who may have never been to a rock concert before. They behaved seriously, as if at a symphony concert. There are plenty of videos of Deep Purple concerts where the audience goes wild. The lyrics were written by singer Ian Gilan, who also performed on Broadway in the musical Jesus Christus Super Star and is considered the best in this role. Child In Time for me is the greatest rock song ever with prophetic lyrics predicting the present times
Instrumentally amazing and Ian’s voice, well superb, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar never disappoints. And apparently they wrote it as a Vietnam war protest.
Yes the crowd was was told to be quiet, this is a record of the band not the crowd.😉
I don’t know if you have heard of Deep Purple but together with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin in the three years around 69 to 72 were held as the Gods of Heavy Rock everything heavy rock started with them!!!
Cheers Girls Enjoy
That voice will never be equalled.
Deep purple the best,,,, Luciano 🇧🇷
Smoke On The Water live in Japan is a must reaction
Hi ladies - in this song the "legendary Hammond organ" is used - which is characterized by the fact that rotating speakers are installed in the cabinet. It produces that wonderful tremmolo sound.
By the way, this organ is also played in a song you have already watched - "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by and with Gary Brooker (RIP) and Prokol Harum in the OpenAir with the Danish National Orchestra.
Some of the greatest musicians ever. Ian Gillians voice is amazing. I think this was a TV production.
Great song choice, these guys are still going after 55 years and are all in their 70s , unfortunately jon lord on keyboards passed away 12 years ago from cancer he was 71 ...this song was based on the Vietnamese war ...
Sweet Lord, Jon Lord 😤
This group was light years ahead of many other bands ,just like Led Zeppelin was, back in the late 1960s. I am 73 and still rocking. Check out their song," Hush " that was a Top 40 AM radio hit. Also, "Highway Star". Peace and loved listening again with you .
This was filmed for a TV broadcast by the BBC - the crowd was specifically told to keep quiet and not to dance.
Guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore, one of the greatest guitarists to ever live!!
One of the best bands of all time, I saw them live 3 times in the 70s. Brilliant. Try my personal favourite "Fireball".
When I saw them in concert in 1974 trust me no one was sitting quietly. We always sat or stood up to the stage by the band and rocked out with them. You could get close to the stage then. They performed for the joy of it not just to make the almighty dollar. That's why tickets weren't expensive. Anyone could afford to go.
The keyboard player, Lon Lord, is a legend, and Ian Paice on the drums with Ian Gillian’s excellent vocals makes them one of the all time great bands. You should check out “Gethsemane” from Jesus Christ Superstar sung by Ian Gillan. Another great song from these guys, without naming the obvious big hits would be “When A Blind Man Cries”. ♥️✌🏼😎
Gethsemane was the song that introduced me to Gillan and then I became a Purple fan. In Rock was my first Rock Album..
Jon Lord was an amazing keyboardist.
John Lord is a LEGEND
Keyboard sounds like an organ because it IS an organ.... other than that, GREAT reaction, ladies!
Is an electric guitar still a guitar? It has its acoustic resonance and amplification sound box replaced by an almost dead board but uses induction-based pickups to feed the string's vibrations into an amplifier. I am inclined to still call the electric guitar a guitar.
This Hammond C-3 Jon Lord put through an overdriven Marshall stack to fit in with Deep Purple's hard rock sound [wiki].
Tone generation - as in "synthesis" - in the C-3 is in an electro-mechanic way that is mechanically more complex than a church organ. It even needs lubrication that must frequently be topped up. There are no mechanical vibrations that are picked up and amplified. Here I am inclined to reject saying it IS an organ.
That said, Jon Lord with his e-organ and classical deep music education, may have been the biggest influence musically in the incarnations of this group, and may have had a powerful vote in reviewing candidates to be admitted into the group.
I can see the incredulity on your faces. I think the song is genius. I call it progressive rock, but you have to remember the time. This is a Vietnam anti-war protest song. There was one album rock station in Wichita in 1970. I think it was two guys, a microphone and their own albums. I would quietly (and a little on the down low) listen in junior high, like I was getting away with something and the only one to know this special sound. The lead vocal holds me, but the guitar and keyboards are spectacular. Thank you. I feel 13 again.
Love that memory Janice. I can imagine for 1970 that is was very progressive
I think it’s about anti war in general not just Vietnam. This song is an anthem in Eastern Europe where it was played in secret in the communist countries.
One of the best song of the music history. Grettings from Spain.
You must have lived under a rock if you have not heard this the earliest most famous rock band that basically started heavy metal rock bands from England sold 100 million copies of this album
Deep Purple In Rock
Mom raised me on Motown so I didn’t hear much rock let alone heavy metal
Deep Purple in Rock was my 2nd Rock Album. They became my favorite band. I saw them in concert many times. I lived in Germany and they were there often.
I bet that crowd was German.
One of my favourite bands of all time, a great English band and Ian Gillan is sooooooo good 🤩
Ladies, there is no bad choice 60s or70s rock. All are spotless just like the performers. There is a band maybe you heard about them, the Kinks. Called the great grand parents of hard rock. Start your next commenting with them. And just one or two of their songs “ you really got me, or Lola, “ are still played on rock stations worldwide!!
I loved deep purple in my teens they had been going a long time then. I drove my mum mad with this song. I had all their albums, I think at this time they were more popular over here in the uk🇬🇧
I think the audience were so in shock from the brilliance of the performance that they couldn't move. That's the only reason I can come up for their reaction, or lack thereof, I should say.
"Smoke on the Water" was their huge hit. It was on the radio forever, but this song is more my favorite for many reasons. His voice really soars here. Love Ya'll's facial reactions. Made my day.
Thank you Willie.... we will have to check out Smoke on the Water too
@@generationgapreacts The live version of "Smoke on the Water" from "Made in Japan" is by far the best.
@@TTTT-oc4eb Thank you TT TT, we’ll check it out.
@@generationgapreacts Smoke On The Water LIVE and that does actually show the Fire, that influenced the song, in Switzerland.
That is the version that you want to see of one of THE great Rock Bands.😀
Smoke on the water is a good song but in my opinion it's no where near their best, they have many songs that blow that one away, like this one, lazy, highway star, burn, and many others. I feel like smoke on the water for so much playtime on the radio that it overshadowed all of their other work and now most it's the only deep purple song most people have ever heard and they are missing out on all the gold, because they found a shiny pebble on top.
That break was just stunning.
one of the best songs of Deep Purple
Mind blowing! Amazing moment in time. Bless, your new musical journey.
Deep purple 💜 😍 ♥️ 👌 💕 ❤️ 💜
This was a TV recording for a programme called “Doing Their Thing”. It is (or was) available on DVD. It’s about 35 minutes long and it chops some songs because Purple songs of that era were very long and involved a lot of improvisation. I have a 17 minute live version. They are incredible musicians.
scandinavian nights,that performance is amazing, child in time and Mandrake Root
@@yanki198 I read up on mandrake, via Lewis Carroll, but i've never heard the song. Will tune in to it, and who knows, turn on mr Leary's sentiments !!
I saw this lineup (MKII my favorite lineup) 5x in NYC, Ian Gillan (vocalist) always introduced this song as their slowest fastest song. Even back then it was evident that Ian & Richie Blackmore (guitarist) didn't like each other. Interesting side note was that each time Fleetwood Mac (with Bob Welch & Danny Kirwan, before Lindsay & Stevie joined because Bob & Danny were no longer with the band) was the warm-up band for them. Great shows. About the audience, I think this was recorded in Europe, but in America we also didn't often get too rowdy till the song ended, mainly because we were high (you would get a contact high just breathing the air).
Great reaction ladies! You may just entered the Deep Purple rabbit hole. You’d love “Lazy”, among many others! Keep up the great reactions! ❤
Thank you! Yes, so many more songs to discover :)
I saw them live in a Summer Jam In the late 70’s at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City! Great reaction 🔥❤️☮️👵🏼
Thank you very much for reviewing this song.
Deep Purple were very big here in the UK in the first half of the 1970s.
Most people probably know them because of "smoke on the water". However, "child in time" has always been my favourite track of their's. I think it really shows off the capabilities of the whole band, particularly Ian Gillan on vocals, but also the excellence of Jon Lord on the keyboards, Richie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
In the UK at that time Deep Purple were thought of as part of a holy trinity of rock bands comprising of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Some would argue that Uriah Heep were also worthy of consideration to make it a foursome.
The Deep Purple lineup in this video (Gillan, Blackmore, Paice, Lord and Glover) is my favourite.
The band continues to perform today and three members of that 1970 lineup are there now - Ian Gillan (lead singer), Ian Paice (drummer) and Roger Glover (bass player).
Very glad that you both liked the song.
Ritchie Blackmore was once my favorite guitarist!
You more than likely heard a lot more songs by this group than you realize and you definitely heard a lot of these band members in other groups as well.
That’s probably very true!
It's war and all the screaming is the killing and dying going on while trying to remain alive! Deep Purple's signature song, I believe is Smoke On The Water. You may know that one just by it's intro. But they were part of the big three as far as heavier and godfathers of Heavy Metal. Led Zeppelin. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. They have an extensive catalog which contains their, I'm guessing, more well known song, Smoke On The Water. As soon as you hear the first three chords it's like, "OH!!, that Deep Purple! LOL! Hope you enjoy more of their music.
susan figueroa I'm Aussie. I had a "big four". All of those plus Budgie (from Wales). Tony Bourge's riff writing was just as distinctive as Tony Iommi's from Black Sabbath. But sadly, they never got the publicity. I think the band name put everybody off. It probably sounded too sissy.
Now you gals have to watch and listen to 'Deep Purple" highway star.. live
Stair Way, Live. A must for the ladies. Should be your first one.
Ian Gillan ( vocalist ) said in an interview in 2002: "There are two sides to that song - the musical side and the lyrical side. On the musical side, there used to be this song 'Bombay Calling' by a band called It's A Beautiful Day. It was fresh and original, when Jon was one day playing it on his keyboard. It sounded good, and we thought we'd play around with it, change it a bit and do something new keeping that as a base. But then, I had never heard the original 'Bombay Calling.' So we created this song using the Cold War as the theme, and wrote the lines 'Sweet child in time, you'll see the line.' That's how the lyrical side came in. Then, Jon had the keyboard parts ready and Ritchie had the guitar parts ready. The song basically reflected the mood of the moment, and that's why it became so popular." (Thanks to the Deep Purple Appreciation Society)
Wow, I didn't know this is based on "Bombay Calling"...I'll have to give that a re-listen (love that first "It's a Beautiful Day" album!)
@@gammaanteria yeah give Bombay Calling a listen
Ritchie Blackmore on that guitar...Legend
Well we'll well welcome you to the world of Deep Purple !
Amazing pipes on Ian Gillan
The keyboard that sounds like an organ, IS an organ ,my friend! ❤️
It’s a typically English audience for the time/era ( 1970). Trust me, I’m 68 and saw these guys and other rock legends perform to static silent crowds who just politely applauded after each song! Audience” participation” just wasn’t the thing to do back then. This particular audience aren’t even “ fans” of Deep Purple, just lucky random kids brought in to fill a tv studio for the filming. No wonder they just look “ dazed and confused”! ( sorry, that’s a music joke regarding a famous Led Zeppelin song)! Great reaction ladies. Really enjoying your videos. Best wishes from 🏴 England.
@The Stormblooper Their behaviour is still entirely typical of young audiences at rock concerts in the early 1970’s. I went to enough of them!!
@The Stormblooper No problem. I saw Led Zeppelin in 1971 and hardly anyone moved until they hit “ Whole Lotta Love”!! Even Stairway To Heaven ( just released on LZ4) only got a polite ripple of applause back then 😂 lol. Having said that, it was and still is the single loudest thing I have heard in my life to date.
Their cover of "Kentucky Woman" is one I know y'all will like.
MrWondrous Rod Evans on vocals. He later joined Captain Beyond, with members of Iron Butterfly.
@@warrenbridges1891 No way! I must say that I am sufficiently breathless, yet with much to live for. Thanks for the info. Another great band.
@@MisterWondrous Yeah. Ritchie kicked him and bass player Nicky Simper out of the band.
You'd think they were at a lecture lol that was good.
Epic amount of talent on that stage
Masterpiece.
I saw these guys live, probably around '74 ? Great show. I remember they were billed as the loudest band in rock and roll!
Well, more than this guys you saw.. coverdale, hughes and then the rest, of that guys!
Probably the most powerful anti-war song I have ever heard.
You two are amazing!!
Thank you Hilda!!
Please promise you will check out some of their other songs since they put out many albums. I was 21 when this gig was video taped. Also, Ladies..I think the crowd is in awe and dumbfounded. By their looks I don't think they have ever seen a rock band before this. LOL Peace.
Wholly total and absolute cow, girls: I heard your explanation but I never thought you would do Child in Time. Mamma said, "I like it so far" and I said, "Yeah but in two seconds you're going to flip your wig" and then you didn't! I wondered in bewilderment about the audience too.Super reaction and I'm sure the people will give you some more Deep Purple to do. Keep playing the good ones (especially Gordon Lightfoot).
Hi Ladies♥I'm 64 and a Musician, actually a Keyboardist in 1972, one of my all time favorite Deep Purple songs is "Highway Star" but this is a Great song too😎
Hi Timothy! Thank you for letting us know your favorite song. We’ll have to check it out ☺️
The singer is Jesus Christ, Ian Gillan was selected by the writer to play Jesus Christ in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and recorded the original soundtrack, although decided not to take the role for the actual live performances. You should definitely check out the songs lazy and highway star from the same group, and you can also check out the band Rainbow, formed by Deep Purple guitarist Richie Blackmore after he left Deep Purple where he performed alongside another amazing singer Ronnie James Dio.
Deep Purple was one of the premier hard rock bands of it's day and some call them the first heavy metal band. In any case they were a big part of my teenage and early adults years. Great memories.
About the crowd.
This was recorded live for a British TV show and yes, they were told to sit still.
TV shows back then didn't let the crowd go wild and I admit, to todays audience, watching them sit still to such a song does look weird.
Deep Purple were along with Black Sabbath, the foundators of Heavy Metal.
Many of their songs are ancestors of speed metal like Speed King, Fireball or Highway Star.
They were all insanely talented, the singer (Ian Gillian) has one of the best voice in Rock. He is the male version of Karen Carpenter. His voice is so crystal clear and amazing.
The Guitarist (Ritchie Blackmore) is without contest one of the best guitar players of the hard rock scene.
He created another group mid 70's named Rainbow with another incredible voice in early Heavy Metal, Ronnie James Dio.
Do watch Stargazer, also an impressive display of Blackmore's guitar shredding abilities.
The Drummer (Ian Paice) is one of the most revered drummer in metal history and he was very influenced by jazz. The drummer of Metallica, Lars Ulrich, has made no secret that Ian Paice was his personal hero.
The Keybordist John Lord (rip) was simply put the best keyboardist in rock.
Like Ritchie Blackmore he was classically trained and in many of Deep Purple songs, his organ would include elements of Bach, like in the proto speed metal Highway star.
The bassist Roger Glover, again, excellent and he always can keep a rythym, great talent.
So not only were these guys talented but they could play super fast and it's not hard to see how they influenced heavy metal. You can't go wrong with them.
a brilliant opening analysis by this lady to one of the great songs of the last century
Great reaction guys...Glad you enjoyed it... I have just been to see Deep Purple 2 weeks back Live in Manchester UK.... 4 original members, SINGER, DRUMMER, KEYS and BASS player, and these guys ROCKED it... It blew me away !! Drummer is 73 ! and Singer a bit older and MY GOD, the power and energy of the show was outstanding...
The original keyboard player, Jon Lord, died some years ago, so I think you're wrong on that one.
@@wolfgangwalk337 maybe my error pal, but the guy who played has been with them a long time... Have a nosey and check it out as you prob know more.. 👍
@@wolfgangwalk337 Yeah, it was Don Airey, i couldnt remember before as i was at work, and the name sliped my mind... Don has been with them since 2002.. still at the age of 74, amazing stuff from them..
