Great band in their day
Speed king , highway star
But every band has its day and these old rock dinosaurs are just on the money train
I think they sound pretty good so far.Quote:

Machine Head was the first album I ever bought.
Stormbringer was my favourite.
I liked the funky soul elements. Glenn Hughes and Coverdale shared vocals :thumbup: (in the days when Coverdale was OK)
Evidently mad-ass Blackmore disliked the album. :hehe:
Highway Star is a hell of a track mind. An incredible rocker for the time.
Made in Japan wow
Still touring and selling out wherever they go , still producing innovative music which sells. 50 years and going strong and given a new lease of life in the ninties by Steve Morse. Rock dinosaurs who have had their day - you must be jokingQuote:

Rush should have knocked it on the head years ago
I love the power and energy of Deep Purple in their prime , Blackmore on guitars , great rhythm section , Jon lord and Ian Gillan , surely one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time
But in my opinion they are not cutting it anymore , same as pink Floyd , I bought momentary lapse of reason and thought this isn't Floyd , it's just music by numbers
Loved journey in their prime , seen them live with their new vocalist .....who sounds exactly like Steve Perry ......but it sounded like a tribute band
Yes seem to be knocking around in some shape or form
Kiss in their day were a great band but they are still creaking around
All bands have their day , purple are part of rock history and have a place in my collection but it's all a bit long in the tooth for me
Flight of the rat still gets me moving though
It really does hit the spotQuote:

Rush were until recently still touring , making music and selling out wherever they went but in my opinion the last great album they did was in 1981Quote:

I love Joe satriani , he's a great guitarist but I perish the thought of him still churning out albums
Just my opinion
Foo fighters , another band who made three or four classic albums but are now just another stadium rock outfit
Deep Purple in Rock was mine.Quote:

I saw them at the old Sophia Gardens. They were so loud the paint was pealing off the ceiling and dropping on the crowd like snowflakes.
True - so who is the real dinosaur here? :-)Quote:

I love all those bands and still play their music but listen to new bands on the rock scene that are just as innovative as deep purple or Sabbath were in 1970
But for some people time stands still
