Dragon_Prince · 09-24-2005, 05:59 AM

well I know there are some deep purple threads but the search function didn't find those :S

Well they are going to tour again, I'm going to see a concert of them

on 26january

who else is going to a deep purple concert?

My Deep Purple thread died quite quickly I hope yours does better. Do you know if they are touring in Australia?

Although Steve Morse is a great guitar player, Ritchie Blackmore is Deep Purple. I'd love to see him get back in the band for a tour, Jon Lord as well.

Those guys are so amazing. I'd love how they just trade off solos.

Espicially on "Speed King"...it sounds like they're talking to each other!

Deep Purple now is everyone except for Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) and Jon Lord (keyboards). They brought in Steve Morse and some other guy to replace them.

As far as I'm concered...that's not the real Deep Purple.

Dragon_Prince · 09-24-2005, 12:22 PM

I agree, a shame that Blackmore and Lord aren't in there, but the other 2 will do good too, I hope

I like Deep Purple, with Ritchie Blackmore and with Steve Morse. I'm not sure if they're coming to my city. But I saw them last year..

Skyler · 09-24-2005, 01:31 PM

Awesome band. I would probably go see them if they came to San Diego sometime. Doesn't look they are though.

Seafroggys · 09-24-2005, 01:37 PM

I missed them last year.

Ian Paice is definitally one of my favorite drummers, a true rock drummer that ALWAYS gets overshadowed by John Bonham, and IMO Ian Paice is the better drummer. In fact, the entire band is always overshadowed by Led Zeppelin.

Deep Purple was heavier and harder than anything else in their day (with the exception of possibly Black Sabbath), and a true kickass band. I only own In Rock on CD, but I've listened to their first several albums on vinyl, as well as Made in Japan, in addition to a rare vinyl of them playing with the London Philharmonic with a piece written by Jon Lord.

IMO as long as 3 of the original lineup (excuse me the Mk. 2 lineup, the original lineup was different then the famous one) are in the group, then I'm fine. They have the singer (Ian Gillian?), which is usually more important than the other instrumentalists. But still, I'd like to have at least Jon Lord in as well. I think Blackmore might have problems with the group though.

I'm not really up to snuff on any Deep Purple information. Why/when did Ritchie Blackmore leave Deep Purple?

Distant Echoes · 09-24-2005, 01:56 PM

Everybody in that band is amazing, but probably couldve made many more great songs with better songwriting skills. Ashame that blackmore had to go and Lord - their my two favorite members. Sopposedly two equally or better talented people have replaced them. I still wonder why they toured the upper east coast but never came to Philadelphia....

I have their Made in Japan Live CD. Undoubtably the best Live album Ive ever heard.

Made In Japan is fantastic, one of the best examples of jamming I've ever heard.

And while you could argue that Morse is as talented as Blackmore on guitar...but he insists on playing too many jazz-fusionish lines rather than just rocking balls out the way Blackmore did. He's got the chops but lacks the attitude for me basically.

Steve Morse took his place in 1994.

Britton · 09-24-2005, 02:58 PM

It's not the same deep purple without lord RB... so no I would not pay to see them

Deep Purple wouldn't cover a song Ritchie liked. He left in spring '75.

Thanks for answering that correctly. I was thinking about the year Morse joined.

Britton · 09-24-2005, 03:33 PM

^ that's wat I had thought too

Interstate · 09-24-2005, 04:22 PM

Saw them live last year, they put on an amazing show.

BigTrav415 · 09-24-2005, 08:29 PM

I bought their Greatest Hits album and read the incredibly detailed little booklet. I had known literally nothing about them, and had only heard a few of their songs. Talk about a band that's stuck it through. It was pretty funny, because my mom never knows any of the bands that sing whatever songs, just the actual songs, so when I put in the CD and "Hush" came on, she freaked out and was like "I remember this song!" Same with my stepmom. Pretty funny

Deep Purple pwns.
