Listening to Deep Purple's Burn. Ask me anything. |
|
Interesting album. Without Ian Gillan on vocals but someone else who became well-known later on.

...Deep Purple was part of the unholy trinity. Ritchie Blackmore had his hand in the invention of heavy metal. He definitely contributed to music in a huge way. But he has competition from Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi for being the inventor of heavy metal.

5. Ritchie invented neo-classical |

iommi invented heavy metal.
Anybody ever listen to a couple of lesser known DP albums, "Come taste the Band" and "Who Do We Think We Are?"
Both very good.

8. I'll agree on Who do We think we are-- |
|
to an extent (Any Album with "Woman from Tokyo" is OK by me), though it's pretty uneven. Ritchie Blackmore wasn't on Come taste the Band-- that was Tommy Bolin. And though I've heard people sing his praises, I think that was a pretty weak album. If I had to pick a top five (not counting Live Albums where they ruled) I'd go with: Machine Head (obvious) Perfect Strangers (1984, first reunion-- Ian Gillan vocals) Burn (No Gillan, but has Burn and Mistreated) Fireball (1971, Machine Head predecessor) Purpendicular (1998, No Ritchie, but has Steve Morse of Dixie Dregs fame and a few classics)
Best Live Album I would give to (originally import) "In concert"...

...what about "Deep Purple In Rock"? That is considered by many to be a classic purple album.

11. Makes sense. My interpretations. |
|
Jimi Hendrix layed the ground work for guitar rock. He was the revolutionary force.
Jimmy Page invented Hard rock Tony Iommi invented Heavy Metal Ritchie Blackmore invented neo-classical.

And he went on to take pretty much everyone in the band to form early Whitesnake...which was actually pretty good back then...

4. I have heard their stuff like Slide it In, etc. |
|
Coverdale was pretty good on this album. It is hard to believe that he started here on this album.

6. Deep Purple Mark III was always my favorite. |
|
With David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes on vocals ... OMFG! Those guys were awesome. And, of course, Ritchie is, and always was, the one true god.
Here's a question for ya: What was Ritchie's early nickname? Hint: it references the town of his birth.

12. Never cared for Coverversion. |
|
Deep Purple will always be Gillan AND Blackmore, as far as I'm concerned. If either is missing, it's not true Deep Purple.
