The Montreux Jazz Festival, Royal Albert Hall, Melbourne
Entertainment Centre, a Blizzard somewhere in the Alps,
Tokyo, Rio, Moscow’s Olympic Hall, Cape Town, Bangalore, La
Paz, Toronto and Kansas City.
What do they have in common? They are just a few of the
places where you could have seen a Deep Purple show over
the last couple of years. Simply reading the itineraries
gives you an idea of how this band operates on a truly
international level.
Deep Purple is not a conformist group. There never was, nor
ever will be, any fawning to trends. What you do get from
them are cutting edge performances based on a sound
philosophy: ‘the music comes first’. That music comes from
within the core spirit of the band, nowhere else. They
won’t be bagged. Why?

------ About the song Highway Star performed by Deep Purple
Wow, you didn't make the same mistakes I saw on another Lyrics site. I see you heard differently on my favorite parts as well. (The part where he starts singing in that high pitched voice.) I never saw it that way.

------ About the song Black Night performed by Deep Purple
I can't believe no one commented on this yet! Best song ever, and really fun to play on guitar. Deep Purple is definitely one of the greatest rock n' roll bands ever, and this song is one of my favorites by them.
To Code Red. quote:I don't understand what they mean by "It seems that we would lose the race.." Anyone?/quote
I think it means "they would lose the race against time to get the album, (Machine Head) finished.
They were using the Rolling Stones Mobile recording studio and were being harrased by the cops for being too loud when recording. Their barely got the last song put on the album before being run out of town.

------ About the song Smoke on the Water performed by Deep Purple
wow so many people on here are misunderstanding the song...yes its true they went to france to record machine head they were at a Frank Zappa gig near the end of the recording of the album and during the course of the gig some fan fired a flare gun into the ceiling and the place caught fire...this could only ever happen at a Zappa gig :)
Simply an account of what happened | Reviewer: Blue
------ About the song Smoke on the Water performed by Deep Purple
This song was actually written to fill out 7 minutes left for an album (they had one day left) and the place they were performing at burnt to the ground because some fan with a flare gun.
So instead of going home they changed the grand hotel into a room, rushing to get the album finished up. Having one day left they were figuring out what to do. That is how smoke on the water came to be.

------ About the song Smoke on the Water performed by Deep Purple
I think that was a reference to the album they were trying to make in Montreaux. That's what the second verse was about - they took an old hotel and converted it into a studio, despite that it was never intended to be one. I saw a TV show (Classic Rock Albums, I think) that went over the entire song - before that, I never understood the second verse.
This song is awesome. The acoustic version is pretty sweet too. Deep purple just went all out on this song. Deep purple dominates your crappy sissy band music.
Wonderful Riff | Reviewer: Sephiroth-DZWO
------ About the song Hungry Daze performed by Deep Purple
I love this riff, it's quite cheerful, but there's also something mysterious about it.

The lake and casino is real. Someone did shoot a flare gun and burn down the casino and the smoke drifted over the water. Go to Geneva Switzerland and see the lake and the new Casino. My son was there a week ago.

Deep Purple and the MkII lineup were among the heavy metal originators. Songs like Highway Star and Speed King would lead the way to speed metal and other similar genres.
Awesome | Reviewer: Jeff

A couple months ago, my highschool marching band performed this during half time! This song is sweet btw...
profanity in the original? | Reviewer: Rick
------ About the song Smoke on the Water performed by Deep Purple
I love this song - the ominous minor chord progression well prefaces
the destruction to come and was unique up to that time. the car commercial made from it is cute also.
all the lyrics sites seem to have "cleaned up" the song the way I heard it(if I was wrong I promise to confess on the Misheard Lyrics site!)
I thought they said "some stupid motherf---burned the place to the ground". besides if "flare gun" is in there, there are better words to precede it. your feedback appreciated!
such a tight song.... | Reviewer: rob c
------ About the song Gettin' tighter performed by Deep Purple

Beautiful song! and I love the way Steve Morse have done with his solo of the song, so sweet.
