Luciano Pavarotti is on record saying about Ian Gillan: "To do what he does you have to be either a genius or a madman. I determined for myself that he is indeed a genius!". One great singer acclaiming another, and I'm sure that Pavarotti was not just thinking of Gillan's trademark vocal belting and agility, but also his understanding of dynamics, nuances, phrasing and story-telling by means of the voice (and perhaps also his skill as a lyricist: songs like "Child In Time" and "No One Came" show this with real clarity).
-
This track is probably responsible for more speeding tickets than any other track in history
-
Deep Purple was a band that each member was as good as the other. Ian belting it out like he always does, Richie with the incredible guitar, Ian playing the drums with incredible rhythm and fills, Jon beating up his Hammond like it owed him money lol. What a band they were and the song involved the most speeding tickets in our history lol.
-
Highway Star is really a Drummer-led song and the way that Ian Paice keeps the rest of the band on track is amazing.
-
Love how she's just become the rock & metal queen now. Really cool to see someone introduced to this music later in life and really enjoy it.
-
Jon Lord and the Hammond B3 makes this whole thing work. Not only was Jon a musical genius, he was a truely great guy. Very much missed.
-
The great thing about Elizabeth is that she is able to explain why what I think is so cool is so cool!
-
Omg!!! As a 14 year old back in 1972, we would put the speakers on the floor and lay between them and listen to the song over and over and over❤
-
The whole album of Machine Head is just such an amazing experience.
-
I don't know if you had heard this before, but the origin of the song is incredible. They were giving an interview on their tour bus and the interviewer asked how they came up with their music. Ritchie picked up his guitar and started playing a riff and Ian started improvising the words. They cleaned it up and played it that night in concert.
-
Saw them in L.A. when they were the opening act for Cream. Cream played one song and people were screaming for Deep Purple to come back out.
-
love this woman and the visible joy she projects from discovering new music...especially from one of my favourite bands of all time Deep Purple✊
-
Each drum fills are so well played and so melodic. Ian Paice is an amazing drummer.
-
Their live performance of this song, from their "Made In Japan" album (circa 1972), is overwhelming. In a good way. In a really good way.
-
My nephew never really got why I liked Deep Purple until he heard this song. It is now his favorite song, especially when driving! Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore worked so well together. When my mother wanted me to take organ lessons, I emphatically said yes. She was thinking theater and church organ, I was thinking Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman. My life changed forever because of Jon Lord and cried the day he died. You should check out his symphonic work too. It was brilliant!
-
For those of us who grew up in the muscle car era, this is more than a song. It's our anthem.
-
In the ascending vocal near the beginning of the song, Ian Gillan sang the same piece four separate times and did it live in the studio without any of the technical devices available today. No auto-tune, no pitch correction, no digital punch in and punch out, no drum machines, no sequencers, no computer nothing. Just talent and hard work. They blended his four vocal lines into a continuous one, as it were, using multi-tracking. A very cool effect! It was a different world technologically back then but some of the greatest music, by far, came out way back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s! All hail rock and roll! 🎸🎸🎸👌
-
You must listen to the MADE IN JAPAN (a live album) performance of this song. The power on the voice is even better than the studio version. Ian added some spontaneous vocal expressions and incredible screams that are always in time and in tune. Also the song tempo is faster than the studio, so you can imagine the adrenaline on the stage, the whole band is on fire there. Highly recommended, because Deep Purple are incredible performers.
-
She's amazed at the sound movements in the speakers, no body talks about the guy behind the board and how good engineering is as important as good musicians 😊
-
We were so blessed to have this kind of quality music aplenty in those days.
