I stopped to listen to their music years ago.But they have many different faces, incarnation and directions.Listen to songs as Hold on, holy man, love don't mean a thing from 'stormbringer' or loosen my strings and soon forgotten from 'purpendicular', sun goes down from'bananas'.they are so difficult to classy, they are so original with such class! Coverdale lost his voice in 2003 and not in '76.Listen to monster of rock '83 or japan '88 and then tell me... p.s. I would remember that on high ball shooter we have the best solo from jon lord ever toghether with the ones from 'flight of the rat' 'rat bat blue' 'lalena'and 'april' there are some classic deep purple albums and track that everyone can love but if they were only smoke on the water , black night ets.

IMO that destroyed the band, and his constant, druginfluenced wailing and "in between song" banter. On drugs, Glenn was just annoying, so I'm not surprised Blackmore left. And to top it, Coverdale lost his voice late '75-early '76. MKIII made one great record, and that was not Stormbringer! MKIII were great until Glenn dared to bring in his funk influences.

Although not the first DP I'd ever heard, it was the first LP I ever bought, so I am perhaps biased towards the Mk III (and Mk IV) sound. I thought the ballads on Stormbringer were awesome, well, the whole album - not a weak tune on it. I still play it most of my DP collection, except maybe for Bananas and Rapture of the Deep (gotta love Steve Morse!). I love the Mk II and V+ bands as well, so I think there is room for all of us here, no matter what lineup sounds most "DP" for us individually. I must agree with Roberto.

Hook & Greetings Roberto!! You're right, I agree with you totally, it's all about the music and not the musicians. For me, change and variation are essential and, over such a long history that DP now has, the 'Roundabout' concept was indeed far-sighted, although a degree of stability is also essential. Roberto - I too do not want to see Motorhead or AC/DC (great bands that they are) play the same 'old favourites' without ever pushing themselves in other directions, if I wanted to hear that I could see one of the many tribute bands, or throw on another CD. I love the different styles that various incarnations of DP has presented to us over the years, as much as I like blues, jazz, bluegrass, instrumental and classical music, so I feel my mind is open to anything. It's just that I never 'got' the Stormbringer thing, for me it lacks adventure, originality and spontaneity. I just don't like the style (and to be honest, I don't like Glenn's voice). You mention the current DP line-up, I reckon they have a 'classic' album in the yet that could surpass all going before it. Purpendicular was a fabulous effort, and ROTD was also nearly there, wouldn't it be good to get one last 'mega album' to show them all how it's done? By the way - absolutely no offense taken, for me it's great that we can all like different things, but also like the same things. By the way, heard the new Uriah Heep album yet? Best wishes.

Stormbringer have some classic hard rock songs as the title track or 'lady double dealer' (which in fact you like) and others that are totally 'unique',which are difficult to classify in only a kind of music. this is the greatness of this album. their playing is too refined! and I even agree with cpt.hook,I will never get tired of Deep purple because they music in the studio album and live change with every incarnation....(this is the reason why now they should do something new with this latest line-up).I don't want deep purple like ac/dc or motorhead: 40 years doing always the same album...so sad. Hope I have not be offensive Gary N.

Stormbringer simply rocks!!! I don't care if anybody calls it (the song and/or the album) as "the furthest away from (...) DP". it's all about the music, not about the musicians. remember how they started? "Roundabout" was their initial name - changing the personel was part of their original concept. even in '74/'75 Jon Lord stated, that DP could go on without himself or little Ian. for me, every band incarnation stands on its own behalf. In Rock has (musically) nothing to do with Shades... cheers. ahoi.

I have STILL GOT THE BLUES,perhaps the last I got,he on vocals is not really what I like...I miss the time he played hard rock (do you remember ROCKIN'EVERY NIGHT live with Ian Paice on the drums? Run For Cover,Wild frontiers: these I like).. to be honest I have never been his great fan even if I appreciate some his stuff that I bought;like you Stefan the best of him I think is with Grat Thin Lizzy. ciao cheers yes Stefan..

Still I say Coverdale and Hughes together were very good, but Hughes on his own I find just too inconsiderate in his treatment of the DP legacy, even back then. And it's not only his singing, but his bass playing, too. I say he was out to turn Deep Purple into the Average White Band. If that's okay for you, all right. It's just not okay for me.

While I think that even in his lacklustreness RB still did a great job (better at least than throwing drinks instead of playing along, as would happen 18 years later!), I too don't miss those days. For the truth about DP '75 was that "Stormbringer" was merely one of the numbers where Hughes had no opportunity to mess up the group sound with his funk and soul stuff. I find it just gruelling to think what GH did to the impromptu parts of "Smoke on the Water" or "Space Trucking". But I have to say that this one here is pretty good! I partly agree with Tracey.
