Freeyyaa Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 ^^ That's interesting to know. I hope most people agree it was Led Zeppelin, hehe. You are wrong. In Russia it is either Deep Purple or Black Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 IMO Deep Purple doesn't belong in that discussion. Zeppelin and the Beatles are at the top tier, Sabbath is in the next group, Deep Purple is at best third tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeyyaa Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 In Russia Deep Purple are the best and the first. Then follows Black Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathington Willoughby Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Eh, they have a handful of good songs. Take away Child in Time, Highway Star, and Black Night and what's left? Smoke on the Water? Pretty slim pickins IMO. Also, aren't they quoted somewhere as saying the reason they started playing hard rock/metal was Zeppelin?

There aren't any good songs on Perfect Strangers, Abandon, or Purpendicular (to begin with)? "Wring That Neck" isn't a worthy jam? Shit.

Hush, Speed King, Strange Kind of Women, Lazy, Space Truckin, Women from Tokyo, Rat Bat Blue, Burn, Mistreated, Stormbringer, Perfect Strangers, Knocking at your back door to name a few, does not look like slim pickins, Blackmore in mid 69 wanted a more heavy sound and said he liked the singer in Zep, does that make either band better ? no, actually DP was formed before LZ, BS DP and LZ IMO are all great bands, but its funny how some cannot accept that DP is more popular in some parts of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until Blackmore saw Zeppelin live that the penny dropped and he wanted a more heavy sound. Welcome Gillan and Glover and welcome to world wide popularity. No surprise that by 1970 they were fantastic and culminating with arguably the greatest ever live album to be produced in 1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the Yardbirds were formed before DP. BS DP and LZ IMO are all great bands, but its funny how some cannot accept that DP is more popular in some parts of the world Yes. I never said they were a bad band, just not as good as Zep or Sabbath. It's funny how some people cannot accept that this is a forum where people give their opinions.

cosmic_juice Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Deep Purple had badass music and yes that japanese live album was badass but the lyrics kind of lacked and i felt Ian Gillan tried to sing out of his vocal range sometimes when he was comfortable it was good... Blackmore was always trying to reach higher and higher with DP and i believe it was because he didn't want to live in the shadow of those other great british bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought Women from Tokyo was BOC ?

Perfect Strangers Is not only a great album but a knockout comeback album. And despite production woes of the era. Certainly a more solid statement for Purple than Chocolate Factory has been for Primus.
