Deep Purple - Machine Head (Classic Album)

Deep Purples Machine Head is one of the definitive rock albums of the 70s. Recorded in 1972 it features the classic Deep Purple line up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice at the very peak of their creative powers and became their most commercially successful album worldwide.

The story of the albums creation, in the rooms and corridors of the Grand Hotel in Montreux following a fire which burnt down the Casino where they were planning to record, was immortalised in their all time classic track Smoke On The Water.

This latest addition to the Classic Albums series features exclusive interviews with all the members of the band plus Martin Birch, the albums engineer, and renowned rock journalist Chris Welch. Alongside the interviews there is archive footage of the band performing tracks from the album in concert.

As a Blackers fan of over 35 years i am well aware of his behaviour at times but you what i couldnt care less i love the guys music and guitar playing no one has come close to Blackers as far as playing with pure raw emotion is concerned IMHO Is he a prat in real life? I have no idea ive never met him have you?Was the big bad man in black of the rock era just an image? who knows ?As for fans waiting back to meet stars etc ive never seen the point bit sad if you ask me

The most hated song in every music shop, but very musician can play it right with some motivation.

[redneckblacklabel]

spinal tap anyone? these rock gods trying to justify or break down why a riff is a hit, why this riff has endured and become legendary. the pose of intellectual pontification and pondering...

these guys should know, better than anyone:

keep it simple, stupid. it's fucking Rock and Roll!!!

[SmileyGarrish]

smoke on the water is a rendition the 5th symphony of beethoven theme 'upside down' - play it backward for confirmation

[shredmaster100]

[Gary1497]

Ritchie looks stupid with that moustache! he should shave it off!

[MetalizedButt]

@ 0:31 is absolutely true

[MrCkufu]

Yeah, too bad that smoke on the water riff isn't theirs....so it does sound like something else.
