FinnDave Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I really haven't the will to read the last 7 pages, so I'm sorry of it's already been said, but back in the day, Deep Purple was described as heavy rock, along with bands like Black Sabbath & Lead Zeppelin. I can't remember hearing the term 'heavy metal' (other than in Born to be Wild) until much later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 To bring some perspective, Smoke on the Water was recorded 49 years ago. 49 years back from Smoke on the Water in 1923 the world was recovering from the Great War and Spanish Flu. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) To bring some perspective my auntie used to live next door to Roger Glover in Richings Park, Iver, Buckinghamshire and my (then) teenage cousin Pete used to wash Roger's car to make a few bob. One time Roger was in his garden planting out some marigolds and my uncle leaned over the fence and said 'Rog, is Smoke On The Water heavy metal?' and Roger put down his trowel and thought a bit and said 'No, Norman, it's hard rock but played with a hint of heaviness'.

Interesting tidbit of information there - so Mr. Glover had got past his (deep) purple phase by then was more into the yellow/red end of the spectrum? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Could we have the bride and the groom on the floor please? Then into Smoke On The Water. Reminds me of a friend of ours who used to sing in a band that did many functions over the years. He once asked for the bride and groom etc then asked for the brides parents. Everyone Was stage whispering frantically, Al,...... they're dead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, the first paragraph was true. The second was an outrageous lie; Mr Glover was potting on some begonias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
