Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
boring song with only 4 easy chords
March 18th, 2007 at 02:55If Smoke is boring, the rest of the world must be wrong
March 18th, 2007 at 07:12john you are wrong,you don’t know music..
March 18th, 2007 at 10:58sorry,for this,but you must understand,that smoke the water is the power of deep purple!
you think that,this song,which 4 chords is very easy to play,but i think that you can’t play smoke on the water correct!
i advise you to look manchine head dvd,which ritchie blackmore explains how to play smoke on the water(because many people,believe that they play correct this song,but they play wrong..)!
As Blackmore himself said, Smoke may be the dead simplest of riffs but did anyone say that about Beethoven’s fifth?
March 18th, 2007 at 12:01It´s easy to play, but just come up with it.
What about Louie Louie? Dead easy, absolutly stupendous, but how do you come up with something that simple and yet so catchy and memorable?

March 18th, 2007 at 18:07When my 11 year old daughter came home one day after music class in school and played me Smoke on the ukulele it brought a smile to my face. Sometimes simple is good enough.
ill just say bring on the uk tour I CARNT WAIT

March 18th, 2007 at 18:30Write a 4 part twin note riff that is accompanied by an anthemic Chorus, (Let’s omit the commercial success of said ditty) have the tune cemented into a multi-generational stream of consciousness & then maybe, just maybe, you might be in a position to comment on this particular tune?
I refused to play this song for years, but we get 17yr old kids moving convulsively to this tune at our gigs.
It keeps me in a kind of Rapture that other songs often fail to achieve.
March 18th, 2007 at 20:20When my 6 year old fist saw the commercial he ran screaming up stairs to get me to tell me our favourite song was on Tv. Young people are so smart and have such good taste !!!!!!!!
March 19th, 2007 at 03:52my 5 old daughter sing me the tune as soon as i talk of deep purple . she know that singing it to me is my pleasure . how could it be boring ? there is so much subtility in that music , so much power too that i can’t be tired to re-listen that tune and the others !

March 19th, 2007 at 22:38The “RIFF” that launched a million guitarists.
March 20th, 2007 at 11:59The people that makes whit simple things -chords- brilliant things -music –
March 21st, 2007 at 00:22are a people out of this world, and yes smoke in the water maybe is easy but is really out of this world, if this song is easy every musician in this world would make many smokes, but….
Only someone easySTUPID say easy stupidities dear john
At the end of the commercial, the riff does not sound like Deep Purple’s version of “Smoke on the Water” Does anybody know who’s cover of that song is at the very end of the commercial?
April 7th, 2007 at 18:59I’m listening to it right now. *The LIVE version off “Made in Japan” is the best. Rock on Deep Purple, rock on!
