What to say about
As a passionate about Deep Purple since I'm adolescent, the band that
after so many years I still LOVE (I have too many records) I was very
lucky to meet him during the Perfect Stranger tour and that years after
years we could built a strong relationship.
is one of the masters in music; he knows how to put a bass on music
with taste and efficiency. Of course everybody, when we talk about Deep
Purple, talk about Smoke on the water, which is reducing their music to
one song! This is ridiculous regarding how many original ideas they got
in their career. Anyway if we take this song as an example, when the
bass arrives in the song it is a kick in your but :=) It is simple but
so efficient, this is the difficulty in music! Bravo!
Not only a bass player or musician,
is also a writer, not only a writer he is a producer and he produced
numbers of hits, not only a producer he is also a painter.
The danger when you meet people that you love through an image is that
you can get sometime disappointed. It was not my case,
is a true LOVER of music and is not making music for making business,
is it becoming rare? What is funny is that Deep Purple sold maybe over
100 millions records, which is good business :=)
I would recommend for you to listen two records (very different):
The Battle Rages On (Which I'm not sure is a good memory for the band but the album spirit is unique and from that aspect touches me)
Rapture Of The Deep
which is the last CD. It took me a while to get into it, but it is like
a good drug, more you take it more you want it, I love it.
has improved his sound of guitars and I like it even better. When you
know how this record was done (one or few takes), you imagine the level
of the musicians!
If anybody has listen to the last Roger Glover CD Snapshot, let me know, I did not.
