Steve Morse is incredible and one of the nicest "famous" players I've met. His playing seemed to bring out a bit more of Purple's "prog" side. In fact, I loved the last album ("whoosh!"). But Simon's playing really does have a lot of "classic" Purple flavor. Guy is a beast of a player!
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Great job of getting this song some attention. It was definitely growing on me by the end.

Cool analysis. I spent the first half of the 70s lying on my bedroom floor (for maximum bass) with head between speakers listening to Purple and Zeppelin and the fact that Gillan, Glover and Paice are still givin' it rice (like the full nine yards) in 2024 makes me very happy for them as well as me. And the nods to 'Lazy' and 'Smoke On The Water' do no harm, whatsoever. And a 'Lazy Sod' is somewhere between a villain and a doofus.
Good track...between Blackmore and Lord..they bought D.P. to life,and the other guy's too😉....essential listening,try 72's Made in Japan,classic live album,has it all😉👍😊🏴🇬🇧🏴....what a killer✌️
Has he done Molly Tuttle yet?? Her brother Sully plays in a band called AJ Lee and Blue Summit. IIf he likes Billy Strings he will love Molly. She played with him a lot. B.Summit also have another bluegrass picker that’s incredible.
Stephen Wilson Jr. Just dropped a Something in the Way cover you HAVE to hear! I don't have Patreon so you guys with it get Michael's attention and push this one, it's unreal!
This is the first time I've heard anything from Deep Purple since their 80s stuff. I had been avoiding it because I didn't think I'd like it, but this was much better than I expected.
Even though it's not the same, when I listen to "Lazy Sod", the music sort of reminds me of "Strong Arm Of The Law" by Saxon. Yet when I listen to both those songs consecutively, they're completely different!. 😂
Thanks. Simon is a good fit. However Purple with Steve Morse produced an English/American sensibility that was unique .. a musical creature which shouldn’t have lived but usually thrived. They often repeated the triumph that their first album “Purpindicular” was. Purple obviously felt like making an out and out bluesy rocker this time. Hope they make a follow up and see if Simon can produce the prog’ invention/twists and turns that Steve was so good at as on the previous album .. Whoosh!

A couple years ago they put NOTHING AT ALL. By far the best song they’ve put out in decades. This one’s a rocker too. Original OG’s still doing it better than most.
Eric Weinstein and Terrance Howard were in the Joe Rogan podcast. They spoke about music theory for a little bit. Be interesting to hear your opinions on what they said. The convo starts at 2:58:00
Everyone is dealing with Terrence Howard in a way which is encouraging him .. rather than telling him straight that 8 million +++ hits for his theories will further degrade the *American ability to discern fact from fiction and scientific theory from word 🥗 salad. (*other countries with poor school science education are available) The drone he “invented” had already been invented. There is nothing in his analysis of the elements that makes ANY sense. Who cares about his music theory. If he’s so confident re his number delusions they should employ him as a Primary School teacher for a term and leave him to deal with parents who’s children have had their education torpedoed. He has too many yes men around his Hollywood ego and / or, he has a mental health problem. It’s as if the Kanye West media and mental health saga never happened.
Steve Morse is a great player and I have been a fan since the Dixie Dregs days but he was responsible for me stopping to listen to Deep Purple entirely during his tenure with the band….even though Purple was one of my favourite all time bands. Simon has made we want to listen to them again…he plays like what Blackmore would have evolved into had he not given up the rock in favour of his love of medieval music. Certainly Blackmore has nothing to prove, but Simon has such an expressive style. My only advice is STOP ANALYZING WHAT HES DOING And just LISTEN!!!! and learn!!!!
I"m a DP fan... what would it sound like if the way back machine would have DP from 1975 play and sing that track! :) No offense to the current members, but Jon Lord would have killed that.
The arrangements and the solos really make these songs .. and the Purple sound helps. I like when Purple go out on a limb 🦵 and deepen their recent prog rock direction as they were doing with Steve. However Simon embodies aspects of Ritchie’s playing with some great unexpected note choices. They needed this new energy but Steve saved that band and gave us some truly great guitar moments .. like “Sometimes I feel like screaming” and Ted the mechanic.
It's very good - unmistakable Deep Purple - must say it could well be an AI generated track from a training set of their early albums! Joke being their classic song Lazy becoming Lazy Sod...
My favourite band, can't wait for the new album on the 19th! Simon is perfect, swagger, owns the stage and chops gor days. Steve was great but too much gain whereas Simon has a cleaner sound that cuts through. There are two more new singles from them called Pictures of You and Portable Door, would love to see you react to those too at some point. Thank you.
What is silly comment to start out with ! Michael you missed many opportunities. You could’ve broken down the solo coherently The best part of the song the keyboard solo where we would normally hear Steve Morris play right along Simon obviously stayed away from that. Just like you did😅
The song is very good and a good reaction/lesson as usual. I am really digging the main riff. BUT no Richie Blackmore or Jon Lord? Not really Deep Purple. It's Roger Glover with a tribute band basically.
Roger Glover...Ian Paice... Ian Gillan.... It's hardly a tribute act is it. Look at their line up changes through their years.... It's never been stable..going right back to the late sixties.
Deep Purple has famously had more members than every other band except Black Sabbath, and they've been a functioning unit for most of the last almost sixty years (minus '76-'84). Organ god Jon Lord hasn't been one of them for more than 20 years, Blackmore more than 30 years. Don Airey and Steve Morse not only have incredible pedigrees of their own, they are absolute masters of their instruments in their own right. They are hardly tribute players. You may be wishing for more early-seventies-era Lord and Blackmore dual acrobatics (we all do!), but that doesn't mean this isn't an actual vital band. It's fucking Deep Purple!
@@rowillo Can't do it. Can't listen to paw paw sing. Same reason I can't listen to anything newer from the Stones or any other 60's/70's bands. Some things are just better left in the past.
Sounds nothing like classic DP. Sounds to me like a record/single contract obligation. Some Rick Beato watching, out of touch producer who is likely nostalgic of a time in music they didn't live through. 😂 that or a classic rock band, with nothing to prove BTW, lazily emulates their hit Smoke on The Water. Totally missing the mark imo. Played ass chord changes without a decent hook or riff.
@@tomi-jon8798 I agree. There comes a time when every band needs to just retire. 60 years old...max. Even a lot of my 90's bands are about to that point.
This Simon Mcbride Purple sounds more purple than they have for years.
Yeah, just stop in 2005. Rapture of the Deep was AMAZNG.
Lucky to have seen Simon McBride several times in small venues in London before he joined DP. Killer player!

Simon is a nice balance between Steve and Ritchie. I like!
Purple is purple. In their late 70s and they still rock
Simon Mcbride is a beast!
Fire track! Deep Purple has and will always have it.
Hints of Blackmore in the guitar solos
Lovely references to Blackmore halfway through the solo!
FWIW the entire record rocks hard AF. All killer no filler.
The 3 singles have been amazing!

I really like your breakdowns. There are so many great nuggets of information in your videos
Glad to hear it!
Great video. Love DEEP PURPLE. Learned alot from you, and the band.

Simon Mcbride is in the zone.
im hooked on the purple 2024 old school purple sound some new members bringing old school

Awesome song!
Worth checking out Simons solo albums. Really great stuff and he’s a fine singer.
Thanks for the live take…wasn’t even aware Deep Purple had another album coming out. Simon McBride’s tone is always killer.
So happy you broke down this song, Michael I just heard it few days ago myself and I think its great. I’m a fan its great they are still in the game.
Lazy Sod
Great analysis
Great breakdown
Ian Gillan is just like silk!
Tremendous breakdown you did here on this tune. By the way they sounded vintage Deep Purple…
Simon McBride!!
I AM AWARE!
@@Guitargate In my opinion one of the biggest under the radar monster guitar player.
ZZ top meets deep purple.
My thoughts exactly!
Nice to see mr Palmisano get exited 🎸🤘
Saw Deep Purple, Aerosmith and surprise guest appearance Judas Priest in concert in 1978 OKC, Ok. Wow!!
Cool, but you must have the year wrong. There was no Deep Purple between 1976 and 1984,
I think that might have been in 85 or 86
Nice work
Stephen Wilson Jr. Just dropped a Something in the Way cover you HAVE to hear! I don't have Patreon so you guys with it get Michael's attention and push this one, it's unreal!
Thanks for the tip at 12 mins, dump the root and let the bass fill it. A fav of the pros, Billy Gibbons employs this strategy almost exclusively.
9:09 i swear i heard this exact progression before, but i cant remember where
This is the first time I've heard anything from Deep Purple since their 80s stuff. I had been avoiding it because I didn't think I'd like it, but this was much better than I expected.
Their Steve Morse era has some *really* good stuff. Check out the perpendicular album, it's great start to finish.
Yeah definitely check out perpendicular! Its probably my favorite rock album period
And abandon is excellent as well.
Check out the song Nothing at All of the previous album
@@haroldbelfast yeah and Abandon rocks balls
Simon McBride= awesome guitarist. Check out his playing on Rob Strong's album. Top notch.
Even though it's not the same, when I listen to "Lazy Sod", the music sort of reminds me of "Strong Arm Of The Law" by Saxon. Yet when I listen to both those songs consecutively, they're completely different!. 😂
Michael - you should do “Overtime “ by Knower
Yes the "Smoke" reference, but also the "Lazy" reference from the same "Machine Head" album.
You really get a taste of Simon McBride's talent as a guitar player from his solo albums.
Perfect 4’s

8:54 sounded like it went to B3 to be :o)
Steve Morse was in Purple for the thick end of 30 years, but was he the wrong fit ? This is the best Purple work for donkeys years.

I miss steve
A couple years ago they put NOTHING AT ALL. By far the best song they’ve put out in decades. This one’s a rocker too. Original OG’s still doing it better than most.
Nothing at all is also one of there newer songs form a year or two ago and it’s one of there best of all time.
Totally
Glad I’m not the only person who loves it. The Hammond towards the end is so uplifting .. and then Steve’s guitar hook comes back in .. Magic 🪄

What PRS guitar is Michael playing?

Simon mcbride is a fantastic guitarist... i like me so much.
Any John Martyn or Richard Thompson yet?
Would love to see your reaction to either 👍👍👍
For the love of sweet baby Jesus are you ever going to react to the latest Dirty Loops song with the insane bass solo? We've been waiting for months!
For my taste, a little softer deep purple than usual...

I rhink the only real " doctoring" is the compression. Play dorian in the solos.

It’s like a talent show at my grandmother’s nursing home.
Deep Purple is not Deep Purple without Jon Lord.
The most important component missing is Ritchie Blackmore, don't you think?
Jon Lord handpicked Don Airey as his replacement upon retiring.
@@Distortion360 I did not know that. I may have to reconsider my position then.
@@darkstar92772they played together on few concerts back then...Lord and Airey both on stage with DP

@@mark240862 Ok, but Jon Lord's organ playing and Blackmore's guitar were the catalyst for that band's sound.
@@PeterJDeVault Ok to your point, is Sabbath really Sabbath without Tony Iommi? I rest my case.
Not sure. He's always been there.
I tried. I really did. I just can't do rock music from 75+ year old guys.
Close your eyes and just listen, 😊

Yeah, this is weak. Lyrics are terrible. I’ve never been a DP fan, respect them though. This is embarrassing.
Every time I see this guy I'm reminded of the time he almost flipped out
when one of his kids interrupted his filming.
Pathetic. 🤨
You call yourself a guitar teacher?!? You can’t even play that one lick right on G. Keep learning! 🎸

Of course it’s not Purple of the 70s but this song does have that Demon’s Eye vibe.
