Deep Purple

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968.^[1] They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock,^[2][3]although their musical approach changed over the years.^[4] Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted its sound to hard rock in 1970, and in 2013 began exploring progressive metal.^[5] Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-Seventies".^[6] They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre,^[7][8] and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide,^{[9][10][11][12]} including 8.5 million certified units in the US.^[13]

Deep Purple have seen several line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–1984). The 1968–1976 line-ups are commonly labelled Mark I, II, III and IV.^[14][15]Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (organ), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973, and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again from 1992 to 1993. The band achieved more modest success in the intervening periods between 1968 and 1969 with the line-up including Rod Evans (vocals) and Nick Simper (bass, backing vocals), between 1974 and 1976 (Tommy Bolin replacing Blackmore in 1975) with the line-up including David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals), and between 1989 and 1992 with the line-up including Joe Lynn Turner (vocals). The band's line-up (currently featuring Ian Gillan, and guitarist Steve Morse from 1994) has been much more stable in recent years, although organist Jon Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 (being succeeded by Don Airey) left Ian Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.

Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme^[16] and a British radio station Planet Rock poll ranked them 5th among the "most influential bands ever".^[17] At the 2011 Classic Rock Awards in London, they received the Innovator Award.^[18] In October 2012, Deep Purple were nominated for the first time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but were not voted in the following March. In October 2013, the band was announced as a Hall of Fame nominee for a second time, but again was not voted in.^[19]

History[edit]

The beginning (1967–68) [edit]

In 1967, former Searchers drummer Chris Curtis contacted London businessman Tony Edwards, in the hope that he would manage a new group he was putting together, to be called Roundabout. Curtis' vision was a "supergroup" where the band members would get on and off, like a musical roundabout. Impressed with the plan, Edwards agreed to finance the venture with two business partners: John Coletta and Ron Hire, all of Hire-Edwards-Coletta (HEC) Enterprises.^[20]

The first recruit to the band was the classically trained Hammond organ player Jon Lord, Curtis' flatmate who had most notably played with The Artwoods (led by Art Wood, brother of future Rolling Stones guitaristRonnie Wood, and featuring Keef Hartley).^[21] He was followed by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who was persuaded to return from Hamburg to audition for the new group. Blackmore was making a name for himself as a studio session guitarist, and had also been a member of The Outlaws, Screaming Lord Sutch, and Neil Christian. Curtis' erratic behaviour, including a sudden disinterest in the project he had started, forced HEC to dismiss him from Roundabout. But Lord and Blackmore were keen to continue, and carried on recruiting additional members, keeping Tony Edwards as their manager.^[22]

It ["Deep Purple"] was a song my grandmother used to play on the piano

For the bass guitar, Lord suggested his old friend Nick Simper, with whom he had played in a band called The Flower Pot Men and their Garden (formerly known as The Ivy League) back in 1967. Simper had previously been in Johnny Kidd and The Pirates and survived the car crash that killed Kidd. Simper had known Blackmore since the early 1960s when his first band, the Renegades, debuted around the same time as one of Blackmore's early bands, the Dominators.^[24] Bobby Woodman was the initial choice for the drums, but during the auditions for a singer, Rod Evans of the Maze came in with his drummer, Ian Paice. Blackmore had seen Paice on tour with the Maze in Germany in 1966, and had been impressed by the 18-year-old's drumming. While Woodman was out for cigarettes, Blackmore quickly arranged an audition for Paice. Both Paice and Evans won their respective jobs, and the line-up was complete.^[25]

The band began in earnest in March 1968 at Deeves Hall, a country house in South Mimms, Hertfordshire.^[26][27] The band would live, write and rehearse at Deeves Hall, which was fully kitted out with the latestMarshall amplification.^[23] After a brief tour of Denmark and Sweden in April, in which they were still billed as Roundabout, Blackmore suggested a new name: "Deep Purple", named after his grandmother's favourite song.^[22][23] The group had resolved to choose a name after everyone had posted one on a board in rehearsal. Second to Deep Purple was "Concrete God", which the band thought was too harsh to take on

Legacy

Deep Purple are cited as one of the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.^[2][116] The group have influenced a number of rock and metal bands including Metallica,^[117]Queen,^[118] Aerosmith,^[119] Van Halen,^[120] Alice in Chains,^[121] Pantera,^[122] Bon Jovi,^[123] Europe,^[124] Rush,^[125] Motörhead,^[126] and many New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands such as Iron Maiden,^[127] Judas Priest,^[128] and Def Leppard.^[129] Iron Maiden's bassist and primary songwriter, Steve Harris, states that his band's "heaviness" was inspired by "Black Sabbath and Deep Purple with a bit of Zeppelin thrown in."^[ n 2000, Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" programme.^[131] In 2011, they received the Innovator Award at the 2011 Classic Rock Awards in London.^[18] A Rolling Stone readers' poll in 2012 ranked Made in Japan the sixth best live album of all time.^[55] As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of Machine Head (1972), Re-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head was released on 25 September 2012.^[132] This tribute album features artists such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Steve Vai,Carlos Santana, Chickenfoot consisting of former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani andChad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Flaming Lips, Black Label Society, Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, and the supergroup Kings of Chaos featuring Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott, Steve Stevens, and former Guns N' Roses members Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.^[132]

Prior to October 2012, Deep Purple had not been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (though they have been eligible since 1993), but were nominated for induction in 2012 and 2013.^[133][134]Despite ranking 2nd in the public's vote on the Rock Hall fans’ ballot, which had over half a million votes, they were not inducted by the Rock Hall committee.^[135] Kiss bassist Gene Simmons and Rush bassist Geddy Lee commented that Deep Purple should obviously be among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.^[136][137] There have been criticisms in the past over Deep Purple not having been inducted. Toto guitaristSteve Lukather commented, "they put Patti Smith in there but not Deep Purple? What's the first song every kid learns how to play? ["Smoke On The Water"]...And they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?...the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has lost its cool because of the glaring omissions."^[138] Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash expressed his surprise and disagreement for the non-induction of Deep Purple; "The list of people who haven’t even been nominated is mind-boggling..(the) big one for me is Deep Purple. How could you not induct Deep Purple?".^[139][140] When asked what band he'd like to see inducted into the Rock Hall, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich also singled out Deep Purple.^[141] Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett commented: "I've been lobbying for Deep Purple for a long, long time. If Black Sabbath can be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Deep Purple definitely belongs in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. 'Cause they had great songs, great musicianship, they had an impact, and they're a huge influence on the heavy metal community as a whole. So I definitely think that they belong in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame."^[142] In response to these, a Hall of Fame chief executive said, "The definition of ‘rock and roll’ means different things to different people, but as broad as the classifications may be, they all share a common love of the music."^[136] Roger Glover got an inside word in there and they were talking of us as not “fashionable” enough. “One of the jurors said, ‘You know, Deep Purple, they’re just one-hit wonders.’ How can you deal with that kind of Philistinism, you know?”^[143] Ian Gillan also commented, "I've fought all my life against being institutionalised and I think you have to actively search these things out, in other words mingle with the right people, and we don't get invited to those kind of things."^[144] On 16 October 2013 Deep Purple were again announced as nominees for inclusion to the Hall.^[19] Once again, they received the second highest fan votes but were yet again shunned by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

My favorite song

The House of the Rising Sun-Дом восходящого сонця

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Есть дом в Новом Орлеане,
Известный как Восходящее Солнце.
Он погубил многих несчастных парней.
Бог знает — я один из них.

Моя мать была портнихой —
Она пошила мне новые джинсы,
Мой отец был азартный игрок
В Новом Орлеане.

Единственное, что нужно игроку —
Чемодан и сундук.
И он полностью доволен жизнью
Только когда он пьян.

О, мамы, скажите своим детям
Не делать того, что сделал я.
Не проводить свою жизнь в грехе и страданиях
В Доме Восходящего Солнца.

Стою одной ногой на платформе
Другой уже в поезде.
Я возвращаюсь в Новый Орлеан,
Чтобы нести его оковы.

Да, есть дом в Новом Орлеане,
Известный как Восходящее Солнце.
Он погубил многих несчастных парней.
Бог знает — я один из них.
