The globe's loudest band

A sub for one of the biggest hard rock bands of the 1970's, famous for songs like "Child In Time" and "Smoke On The Water." Formed in 1968, still rocking today.

Many people may have forgotten about the band, but we try to keep the spirit of this still-touring band alive! You can expect everything from this band on the sub. Music from every era of the band, awesome backstage live pictures, interviews and the 'craze' about all their new albums.

New releases can be found here and you can share your opinion about the many different musicians of the band, the various Marks and their albums, and all you can think of.

Deep Purple didn't stop after Blackmore!

Love that they've made sure to include some ominous organ jams on the 2000s albums... Here's "Step by Step".

Machine Head Vinyl

I have a probably stupid question regarding releases of the machine head vinyl; every version i find doesn’t have “When A Blind Man Cries” on the track list. Are there any versions that do have it that are easily findable/can buy lmao?

Need help finding a specific version of Smoke on the Water

This may be a long shot but I figured of all places on reddit, this would be the place to ask.

As the title says, I'm looking for a specific version of the song "Smoke on the Water", the same one of which I've linked here. Tldr the main difference that sets this version apart from the OG is the solo at the end instead of the music fading out.

I've gotten as far in my search as finding another YouTube video with the same version, which says that it was released on some CDs in the 90s, but no specifics.

If anyone here knows, or can at least help me narrow it down or point me in the direction I could go, I would be so grateful!

Mick Underwood... its a small world

Kind of odd when you think about the Outlaws and Episode Six both having the same drummer at different points in time. I saw the Episode Six reunion, but they had Harvey Shield for that....

Why did the band makesongs about sex on perfect strangers?

Their lyrics were not about sex on the previous 70s albums. I really love the song 'knocking on your back door' and 'mean streak' excepto for the lyrics

April live with orchestra

After the wonderful intro suddenly came to mind, encouraging me to start learning it on my beloved organ, I stumbled upon this masterpiece by DP cover band "Purple Rising".

Beautiful version, so nice to see and hear it performed live by these nice artists (didn't know them before). Would love to see a DP-version of it with orchestra, but I highly doubt we'll see that in future.
