    In 1989, artists from Pink Floyd, Queen, Rush, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Yes, Iron Maiden, Free and others joined forces to raise funds for people affected by the Armenian earthquake. Kerrang called it "the greatest array of hard rock talent every assembled".
    Organised by Jon Dee, the remake featured David Gilmour, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson and Chris Squire on guitars. On vocals it had Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson, Paul Rogers and Bryan Adams. Keith Emerson and Geoff Downes played the keyboards and Roger Taylor played the drums.
    This is the official promo video for the 2010 Wermut & Dee remix of the track. The song was released worldwide - it successfully raised funds to rebuild a children's music school in Gyumri in the Armenian earthquake zone. Today the new school teaches music to 220 children a year!

      Paul Rogers is a great singer but I really didnt like him singing Smoke on the water. Interesting fact about Paul Rogers is that Ritchie Blackmore wanted him in Deep Purple to replace Ian Gillan before finally settling on David Coverdale. Paul coundn't do it because Bad Company had just been formed.

      Smoke on the water isn't about Frank Zappa. Its about an incident that happened during deep purple recording machine head. Frank Zappa had just finished a set at the same place Deep Purple were due to play and thats why he's mentioned in the song.

    • @gauravbangera1646
      @gauravbangera1646 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Jacob Crowell Gilmour's tone leans on the reverb and nuance. I dont think he could have used that for such an heavy song. Also he uses strat for his songs. I think he used a rickenbacker here. Still amazing though.

    • @012jacob012
      @012jacob012 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I get that he might not be able have all of his awesome effects here, but even his raw tone is normally much more full. it sounds almost "cheap" here. those 2 are still in my top 5 favorite guitarists though.

    • @gauravbangera1646
      @gauravbangera1646 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jacob Crowell sometimes you have to play with tempo of the song. And gilmour couldnt use his rich tone here

      ***** Well, I think Roger plays here like any drummer (of his league, of course) could do, while Brian's sound and playing style is very distinctive here and very close to what he did on the last three classic Queen albums, so one doesn't need video to recognize him playing.
