Whoa...easy there killer.

If I remember correctly you're a big Lemmy & Bathory fan?! Uh...

Let's play nice here, but be careful about "casting the first stone"....

Burn and Stormbringer are two of my favourite D.P. CD's with Machine Head close behind.

No question, Glenn Hughes was one of the reasons why.

Preach on Brother Jon.

Easy dude, sounds like some kinda funky man-love going on

hahahaha I'm sorry Chris, I could not resist.

Let's please not see this as a green light to let this thread veer wildly off-track.

burn and stormbringer would have been 10 times better with coverdale handling 100% of the vocals. my opinion of course.

yes, i love motorhead and bathory, but not because of the vocals. lemmy and quorthon aren't good singers.

hughes is too bluesy and "soulful" for me. zzzzzzz

his work with iommi makes me cringe.

"burn and stormbringer would have been 10 times better with coverdale handling 100% of the vocals. my opinion of course."

You're serious?

Ahhhh, opinions....what wonderful things.

I for one always felt that Mr. Coverdale wasn't worthy to carry Hughes' jock, and the best thing that he ever did was Tawny Kitaen.

"lemmy and quorthon aren't good singers."
At least we see eye to eye on something.

And to think, I was just excited about finding a cool pic of my boy with a Rick. We should probably just agree to disagree before this gets ugly.

That's the 4001 he used on all of Burn and later traded to Geezer Butler.

it would only get ugly on your end as i have no problem with anything you've said. i just have never liked hughes. it sort of goes along with me not liking the blueboy color on Rics. it just doesn't settle with me. i think it's hideous really.

He was the reason why for me too. His sound on 'made in Europe' was what convinced me to get a Rick. Vocally, well, it's rock & roll...

In somewhat related news:

Eagle Rock Entertainment, the leading independent source for high-quality music audio/visual programming, this fall will release "Deep Purple: Live in Concert 72/73." This historically significant collection of vintage live footage of the classic lineup of one of the greatest heavy metal bands in rock history is now available on DVD.

The greater portion of "Live in Concert 72/73" is a performance from March 1, 1972, at Copenhagen's Boldklub in 1972, hot on the heels of the release of "Machine Head," the album that introduced "Smoke on the Water," "Space Truckin'" and "Highway Star." Recorded for Danmark Radio, Denmark's national radio and television station, the show had lain dormant in their archives for 15 years. "Live..." is the only known full-length concert ever to be filmed of the "Mark II" version of the band in the 1970s: vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, bassist Roger Glover, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice.

A year later (May 1973), the same roster played a concert at Hofstra University in New York. Shown here are three songs from that show, which was filmed for "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" TV program and includes the only known footage of Deep Purple performing "Smoke on the Water" during that era. At this time, Gillan had already served notice to the rest of the band that he would be quitting-he and Blackmore had never gotten along very well.

The "Mark II" lineup had formed in 1970, and its fractious nature renders the band the clearest influence on Spinal Tap. Nonetheless, "Live in Concert 72/73" is absolutely devastating. From Gillan's berserk shrieking in "Child in Time," to the mind-melting, reckless improvisation in "Highway Star" and "Space Truckin,'" to Blackmore's still startling six-string virtuosity, to the brutal pounding the band gives "Fireball," this is the kind of rock they don't make anymore.

"Live..." also includes a bonus song, "Burn," from a performance at the 1974 Cal Jam in California courtesy of the "Mark III" edition of the band, featuring Gillan's replacement David Coverdale, who would go on to lead Whitesnake. Additionally, "Live..." includes a commentary track from fan Jon Kirkman, and is in stereo, 5.1 and digital DTS surround. Run time is 127 minutes and the list price is $14.98.
