Probably one of the most recognizable riffs in the history of rock
Yep, you don’t even need to know the band or song, when you hear it you are like “Hey, I’ve heard this before”
My brother used to spend hours just trying to master this riff
LOL ONE OF LOL
Definitely. The bane of every employee at Guitar World, lol.
This is definitely one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever - one of the first I learned to play. That was almost 50 years ago and hearing this song still impacts me the same as it did way back then. It's timeless and the musicianship of this band is exceptional. When I was in my early 20's I remember learning the solos to Lazy and Highway star and my older brother thinking I was a guitar god, and although I later started learning EVH's solos note-for-note, and this was much simpler, it has never lost its appeal!!
This song is about a real fire that happened in Montreux, Switzerland, at a casino that Frank Zappa and his band were playing. Deep Purple were there to record and were a a hotel across the lake from the casino when the fire started....the "Smoke on the water, fire in the sky" is exactly that, smoke from the fire rolling across the lake and the fire lighting the sky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_on_the_Water
@moon lite YW
Weren't the Rolling Stones there too? Memory plays tricks at my age but I distinctly remember newspaper photographs showing Deep Purple sat by the lake watching the fire.
@@ladyjane8855 not sure if they were there but Deep Purple DID rent their mobile studio to use to finish their album because they were under time constraints and the studio they were using wss destroyed by the fire.
I was a high school senior in St. Gallen, Switz. when it happened, 2 yrs later I'm in Subic Bay Philippines and this song was playing from lives bands all over Olongapo, we called it the flip nat'l anthem.
@@ladyjane8855 the stones weren't there but the mobile recording truck belonged to the stones and was rented by deep purple
i am 62, It puts a HUGE smile on my face watching these kids jam to DP. This is the music i grew up with and today I am turning my grandkids on to " my " music. I dont always listen to deep purple, but when I do, so do my neighbors. long live rock!!
I turned 62 in Nov 70s Brat lol
66 Now. Had it on 8-track!
I think watching younger generations discover your music is so satisfying. I get from these reaction videos what my children refused to give me. 😂
I agree with you on Deep Purple especially Highway Star
You need to listen to a live album. Best band ever.
For millions of guitar players around the world, Smoke on The Water is the first song they attempt to learn. Don't overlook the thundering bass.
Smoke on the water RELEASED IN 1972 , Them 70s Baby
Or "Iron Man"
I never liked Smoke on the Water. Paranoid was the song I tried to learn first.
Fairly easy until the lead solo. Set the guitar down and regroup. "How am I ever going to figure this out?" The chunky right hand took some serious practice time for the rhythm part, to get it right, as a beginner. It was a loooooong time ago.

I sometimes forget that not everyone knows this song - so to watch you two getting introduced to this brings joy to my heart!
Definitely, that's where the joy is... getting to listen with fresh ears ourselves, as we experience the first listen with these guys - it's like an echo chamber doorway to our own memories. And right... sometimes with a song like this, we forget there are still some "virgin ears" out there! Great one, whoever suggested this track!
@David Agree!
Unbelievable that it is possible to grow up without knowing this.
Same!!
I really like turning young people on to really great music. I am 61 and my first cousin turned us on to rock, even if was only on AM raido. They need to listen to Traffic ( Dear Mr. Fantasy)
Amber, you are correct about this riff, it is probably the most recognizable one in music. If you are driving and you hear that first note you can't help but crank the volume
Yes
I'd say the riff from Barracuda is right there with it, personally.
And step on the gas!!! 😀
Deep Purple's greatest and most famous song! Incredible riff! Amazing guitar solo! And the lyrics tell a true story.
Please excuse my spelling. Im 66 and spent 25 years in the U. S. MARINES, kTHEN 15 YEARS as an over the road trucker. Was in massive tractor trailer accident and now my handsk an fingers wont bend from perallisis . My neck and both arms were both totally shattered , broken with compound fractures . Now im just waiting time out everyday, till its the end of the line 4 me. If not for this music from my era , 1971 to now. I dont think i coulda made it without my music. So please if u would , ignore my poor typing skills. Its hard to type with 2 shattered arms. This music and love from my kids & grandkids is the only thing keepn me goin.
Luv u two ur the koooolest reviewers on the whole damn internet. Remember.....EAT MUSIC... IT FEEDS THE SOUL..ALONG BEHUND JESUS ! LUV U2
Sorry you have to go through this - I have paralisis in my longest finger and can't bend it due to arthritis - so I know a little bit of what you go through. bless your heart!
Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists of the classic rock era. His solos give me chills. Just a simple Stratocaster through a Marshall stack setup, but he's able to do magic with that. His tone and feel are second to none.
Check out Blackmores Night.... Totally different but still Ritchie Blackmore!
I absolutely Love Blackmores Night

Deep Purple is a great band. Highway Star, Hush, Space Truckin', Perfect Strangers, Knocking At Your Back Door are others if you'd like to hear more.
Always loved Black Night and Bloodsucker
What about Child in Time
Gotta add:
"Child in Time"
"Strange Kind of Woman"
"Woman from Tokyo"
And thank you for including "Knocking At Your Backdoor"! Too many people overlook this great song!
Lazy
@@erict956 Speed King too!
The documentary for Deep Purple explains how they wrote this song after the concert venue they were playing burned down during another concert next day. So the text is written based on that event. Also the keyboard player, John Lord was one of the greatest organ players of that era and pioneered the Hammond overdrive sound or at least made it really popular. Lazy is the song that most shows this. One of their greatest songs for me.
This was huge in 1973
way back in 70's this group was voted the loudest in live concerts and i felt up way up in 2nd level in philly spectrum with about 10 thousand other on the floor and in seats speakers piled on speakers in rows for each instrument
Their lead singer, Ian Gillian, has one of the best rock voices ever. Trivia- he was the voice of Jesus in the original recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar"- before it came to broadway. His rendition of Gethsemane will tear your heart out!
I loved that album when I was a kid...seriously dramatic music
There is a video of it on TH-cam.
OMG! I had forgotten that album. Now "I don't know how to love him" is floating through my brain.
IMO, Ian Gillian's original recording of Gethsemane is the greatest rock vocal of all time.
I love Jesus christ superstar and I didn't know that wow thank you
This was actually written about an incident that really happened during frank zappas concert. While he was performing the song "King Kong" a fan in the crowd shot a flare gun into the wood ceiling immediately catching it on fire.Funky Claude was running in and out, yeah,Pulling kids out the ground. This refers to Claud Nobs the organizer running into the building multiple times to make sure all the concert goers were gotten to safety. That is how this song came to be written by Deep Purple. That beginning riff has inspired many a person to pick up a guitar for the first time. As always great reaction.
Yes. Absolutely. Interesting version used here, not the most " popular" or widely known one. Totally different guitar solo and ending to the " Machine Head" album!!
@@malcshone4409I have a bootleg CD, Swiss Cheese of the Zappa concert in question.
Deep Purple were supposed to begin working on the recording of Machine Head the day after the Zappa concert at The Casino in Montreux using The Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Studio.
The 80s Cant touch This 70s Masterpiece 1972 Baby
Many don't know that Claude was a volunteer firefighter and instantly knew how bad the fire could potentially be and thus began to evacuate everyone. RIP Funky Claude.
The mobile they sing about was a mobile recording studio they hired off the Rolling Stones Numerous bands and artists have recorded music using the RSM, including the Who, Dire Straits, Deep Purple, Lou Reed, Bob Marley, Horslips, Nazareth, Fleetwood Mac, Bad Company, Status Quo, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Wishbone Ash, Motorhead and the Rolling Stones themselves. Today, the RSM resides at the National Music Centre in Calgary
This has got to be one of the hardest hitting riffs ever, it’s unforgettable! When you hear it you can’t mistake it for anything else! 😊
The song is not a metaphor. It is a true story about a fire in a building.
This is usually the first riff people learn when they pick up a guitar. Even you can do it!
Deep Purple was the best concert I've ever been to and there have been many. Try "Child in Time', "Lazy", "Hush" and "Highway Star" - and watch the live versions. (IMO, this isn't their best song)
"Child In Time"
Sweet child in time😂😂🤦🏼♂️
Hang around your local Guitar Center on a Saturday afternoon and you'll hear that riff - Usually people learn the "easy" version of the riff (played on the D & G strings) Ritchie plays it a little differently (on the A & D strings).
It's the first riff that most people learn wrong when they pick up a guitar. It's four chords: D4, F4, G#4, and G4. Beginners usually only pluck the root note of each chord until they start learning how to build chords.
Yeah, this and Don't ask me no Questions (can play it with one finger) and Bad to the Bone are recognizable rifts that are super easy to play to some extent as songs to get the beginning guitarist excited. Of course to play them right and all, they aren't one finger/one string songs, but the progressions are so iconic that even a one string facsimile makes it sound good for a beginner.
The guitar solo in Deep Purple's "Highway Star" is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. Plus, it has the added bonus of the only vocal scream that can rival Rob Halford.
The original version of "Smoke on the Water" from the Album "Machine Head" had a better guitar lick than this version, but this is still good.
But if you really want to have your mind blown, you just HAVE to react to the original "Lazy" from the album "Machine Head". Guaranteed to blow your mind. It is FIRE and a unique sound.
Machine Head came out when I was in High School. I would say 1975ish. It was truly revolutionary at the time. The WHOLE album is great. EVERY tune on it is great.
Agreed...
Holy cow! I just listened to "Highway Star" for the first time ever, after reading this. What a trip! That was pretty amazing. I only know the few radio songs from them. I guess I should go down that rabbit hole myself!!!
This album came out in early 1972.
YEP
@@BillGraper enjoy
The three bands that gave us heavy rock and in no particular order, Led Zeppelin, deep Purple & Black Sabbath, all stunningly superb musicians, who led the way that EVERYONE followed. All are british and before you ask Ozzy Osbourne was the lead vocalist with Sabbath, each have a distinct sound. A rabbit hole that after 50yrs i'm still in.
The most simple yet most iconic riff in old school rock history.
In all school rock history.
I was 11 in 1972 when this song came out ...@@timwra
This was 70s rock at its finest.
The entire album that this song comes from, "Machine Head," is the Deep Purple masterpiece. Not a song many people mention, but I'm a big fan of "Maybe I'm A Leo" (from that same album). It's a killer riff that borders on funk..Need exercise inspiration? "Highway Star" is perfect to listen to when you are out jogging and you need that extra oomph to bring ir on home with a sprint.
"Maybe I'm a Leo" is my song. Not just because it's a fantastic tune, but also because I was born on August 23 and was never completely sure if I'm a Leo or a Virgo. So maybe I'm a Leo. 😁
Machine is one of the PERFECT rock albums...Not a bad track.
My favourite album by my all time favourite band 🤘
My favourite song off the album is Pictures of Home.
BTW Smoke on the Water was written in 10 minutes and is the story of the recording of the album.
Iconic album.....all killer, no filler.
All are good…Lazy is my jam off that LP
When this song dropped, within a week, every kid in my neighborhood learned that riff underneath their carports everyday after school and on weekends. You could hear this ONE RIFF, anywhere in our neighborhood. It was the only riff any of them knew lol! EVERYONE wanted to learn how to play this song. It was THE riff!
And still lol.
So true I stayed after school to learn it on piano lol ie: 7th grade.
One of the best songs to come out of the classic rock era. This entire album is iconic, great songs all through
IM A 70s Brat This is why ,,,THE MUSIC WAS FANTASTIC
I think the best 😉
When this song came out,as teenagers we wore it out on our eight track players! Love this! Deep purple awesome band! You guys are amazing!
Every local band butchered it at Battles of the Bands, too. But we listened to every butchered lick because we loved this song so much.
Me also. tracks and then cassettes. Loved this group.
Another example of why the 70's was the best decade for music!
Every kid growing up in the 70's would play the opening Riff for hours on end
Usually in the wrong key.
It warms the cockles of my heart to see young people of today like you guys getting off on the music my generation grew up with. My generation were blessed to grow up with such great music from so many great bands and now young people are discovering it all over again.
The single most recognizable riff in rock history. Period. There are very, very few riffs in rock history that come even close.
Spirt in the sky from 1970 OOO YAAAH And Mountion Missssipi Queen 1970
yeah is their any close!!? agree completely! i picked up the guitar because of this song- i couldnt play for shit, hahahah
@@wendyfrye1844 The Bass is what makes this song ITS THE BASS BABY 70s BASS LOL
Just a copy:
th-cam.com/video/9OnIRrrj-mY/w-d-xo.html
Amber hit the nail on the head. This must be the most famous riff of all time, played by every young aspiring guitarist..
So many great riffs. Day Tripper by the Beatles. , Fame by Bowie, plenty others.
Actually I know people that the only thing they can play on the guitar is this riff.
@@stevedavis5704 I'm 59 and I'm one of them. I can play that rift over and over when I was a kid. Used my brother's guitar. It was until watching it with these two today that I realized I didn't really know the lyrics. That riff was embedded in my brain the moment I heard it. It's in there forever.
This is one of the most recognizible riffs. There are many that fit the bill, Layla, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, Walk This Way, Sweet Home Alabama, Stairway to Heaven, Tie Your Mother Down, Kashmir to name a few.
They wrote this song after an actual event when they were recording an album in Lake Geneva Switzerland the hotel where they were staying was accidentally burned down by a drunk who had a flare gun so the whole thing is a actual factual story
Deep purple influenced me to rock music, I sing smoke on the water and played bass guitar with my two sons till today even I'm 65yrs old...love it.
When we rock, we rock. When we roll we roll out.
Now that Jay has those sticks, we need to have him listen to the Surfari's "Wipeout"
Deep Purple is an iconic band, credited for helping create heavy metal music in the 1970's.
They started in 1968... they had early hits like 'Hush' w/ singer Rod Evans. But after singer Ian Gillan joined in 1969, Deep Purple got heavier, releasing songs like 'Child in time' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Space truckin' ... 'Woman from Tokyo'... Singer David Coverdale and bassist vocalist Glenn Hughes joined in 1974, delivering hits like 'Burn' ... 'Stormbringer' ... 'Soldier of fortune'... but Deep Purple split in 1976. Coverdale went on to form his band Whitesnake.
Deep Purple reunited in 1984 w/ singer Ian Gillan, but eventually parted ways w/ iconic guitarist Ritchie Blackmore again in 1993.
The band carried on w/ Steve Morse on guitar. Later songs include 'Sometimes I feel like screaming' ... 'Bloodsucker' ... 'Rapture of the deep'... 'Vincent Price' 🔥🔥🔥🤘
I have everything they've ever produced, including their new album "Turning to Crime" which will be released in a few weeks. That's my iconic band from high school days. I've owned their 8 tracks, albums, 45's, cassette tapes, compact discs, 24 k Gold discs, SACD Hybrids, SHM CD's, and Hi Res CD. Love Deep Purple. Steve Morse does a dang good job and has actually with the band longer than Ritchie Blackmore ever was. Great guitarist.
@Sumon Jamal that whole Purple / Rainbow / Whitesnake / Dio Sabbath family tree is a mess. Circa 1981, whitesnake had mostly EX-Deep Purple guys, and it really shoulda been called Deep Purple lol. It was hard to keep track what part of the family tree those guys would end up next
one had to be caeful back in that time when you were driving and put machine head 8 track in...you be speeding big time before you even realize it!
Love love love Hush!!
Don Airey joined in 2002 as a replacement for Jon Lord. It was Jon who recommended Don as his replacement when he retired from Purple to do some of his own projects. Jon’s last project was to re-record his Concerto for Group and Orchestra, which was sadly released just after his death. RIP Jon 🎸🎸🤘
Welcome to the World of Deep Purple. Argubly one of the greatest bands ever, and one of the founding fathers of hard rock/heavy metal along with Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin
What comes to mind when you were trying to describe them was the word "raw"
Raw talent, raw skill and a raw sound that is unforgettable
One of the most recognizable riffs from my youth ever!!! Played at every party!!
Entire album is fantastic. DP In Rock. Esp Speed King! Smoke in the Water is every rock bassist first riff 👍
Smoke on the Water is on Machine Head, not In Rock.
Machine Head
@@mlhesler68 @Tony N Yes it is In Rock is My personal favorite DP and other source for Reactions. ✌️
I remember rocking to this song when I was a teenager I was 13 I'm 64 now .
Couldn’t go to a high school dance in the early 70s without the band playing that song.
I have a unique memory of this tune. About 20 years ago, I was headed into surgery. For whatever reason, I was not sedated until after I was wheeled into the Operating Room. In the OR, there was a "ghetto blaster" CD player on the wall. As I was getting prepped and sedated, I went under the anesthesia with "Smoke on the Water" blaring from the ghetto blaster in that OR. The next day, I aske the surgeon about rock music blaring away while they were doing delicate surgery on me. He said that they played whatever suited their fancy on the ghetto blaster on any given day while doing surgery. I felt like a '64 Chevy getting a valve job instead of a patient right at that moment. Yes, I fully recovered from the surgery.
My favorite thing about this song is that it sounds pissed off because they WERE pissed off. The rawness is 100% real.
I highly recommend Deep Purple's "Woman from Tokyo" for a great combination of a killer riff and a fascinating musical journey.
Great suggestion!!! 👍
Deep Purple are one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal Rock and among the god of Rock n' Roll!!!!! Still doing... concerts......
TREMENDOUS THEM !!!
MUST LISTEN TOO !!!
BLACK NIGHT,SPEED KING ,FIREBALL
EVERY OF THOSE TRACKS AS EXPLOSIVE !!!!!
I am so glad that you guys finally took up my recommendation for Deep Purple. What's crazy is that even though that is one of the most famous riffs in rock history, instrumentally they have much more impressive songs with Ian Gillan as their lead vocalist. Hush, Lazy, Highway star, and Child in Time. All these other songs will bring out one of the greatest rock organist of all time in Jon Lord Jordan.
This lead singer is the one before Ian. He did perform it live, though!
@@TheDivayenta Ian Gillian is the leader singer on this song. He however was not the lead sing on Hush
@@davidhattman7649 yes- I got it confused. Thanks!
@@davidhattman7649 thanks for the heads up.
FINALLY! We're rockin' again
A classic riff that you never forget. I got sick of this song after playing like a thousand times in a live band back in the 90's. But I never got tired of seeing the crowd come to life on the dance floor every...single...time!!!
I was 11 in 1972 when Deep Purple did SMOKE ON THE WATER , The 70s have ALL WAYS KICKED ASS HARD BABY
Agree!
I was 11 in 1972 when smoke on the water GRABED the word by the balls LOL This song was EVERY WHERE Im a far out 70s brat
This song is part of the history of Rock. Iconic and timeless.
Many of the music shops in London had signs up saying "No Smoke On The Water" because they were tired of kids trying out guitars and playing that riff.
A song taken from a TRUE STORY!! 😱 One Helluva fire -the video is SCARY!! 😳
MORE THAN READY for some ROCK!!
I’m 63 and can’t even count the times I listened to this!love love!
Love Deep Purple. Seen them live 6 times and OMG, unbelievable!
Any kid from the 70s through the 90s who ever picked up a guitar can play this riff. Iconic
The most famous and recognisable riff in rock history. This is banned from being played in all guitar shops! For a different side to ‘70s Deep Purple featuring more of that trademark Hammond organ, try “Child In Time” Live in 1970. They’ve been around since 1968, but will be releasing a new album on 26th November.
This riff will get you kicked out of every Guitar Center in the country.
John Lord was an amazing organist.
That was one of my earliest favorite songs, and the first riff I ever learned on guitar. Deep Purple are often considered to be one of the first heavy metal bands.
That riff is legendary.
I even saw one time that, just for fun, a thousand people with guitars were assembled at a sports stadium, to all play that riff together.
That's how legendary it is.
DEEP PURPLE is indeed "heavy". "Smoke on the Water" is an iconic classic (every new guitar kid learned that riff - to the point of becoming parody). To fully appreciate the band, and the vocals/range of Ian Gillan, definitely gotta check out "Child in Time" (live version, 1970, ~120 MILLION views!) - though I'm sure I'm not the only one to recommend it. Enjoy...
OMG YES!!! That is the Black and White version I believe, I think in Denmark or something I'm not sure, but it's my favorite version of my favorite deep purple song!!! It runs about 16 minutes long and it is truly epic!!!
Their "Made in Japan" live album is classic!
Child In Time was my favourite Deep Purple song as soon as I heard it.
When a blind man cries by Gillan is the 😎👍
Smoke o the water from 1972 LOVE me some 70s Baby
There is no more iconic riff in rock history. If you grew up in the 70s, this is the soundtrack of our youth.
My new favorite song. And to hear the lead singer say that this is a ture story that they experienced makes the song even better yet haunting. Definitely a song that won't leave my mind. The harmonies, that fabulous guitar and all the other accompanying instruments made a heck of a song. And Deep Purple didn't think much of the song and wanted another song to be tge single, but the record execs said Smoke is the single. And now it's classic!
Deep Purple wouldn't be Deep Purple without Jon Lord's incredible keyboards. RIP, Jon.
Definitely you have to hear Deep Purple’s “Highway Star” next! The keyboard and guitar solos are among the best in rock history, imo.
This has always been one of my all time favorite bands. No matter what they played they absolutely killed it!!! One of the things that made them memorable was the organ. Organs had fallen out of favor with rock but Jon Lord on that organ as well as Ritchie Blackmore on the lead guitar this British band was impossible to beat.
And they were at their best in a live setting, which few other bands can say. Made In Japan may well be the best live rock album of all time.
Timeless rock song to stand the test of time. Classic pure gold now and 100 yrs from now.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG ...... MY DADDY PLAYED ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC WITH A BIG AMP AND JAMMED OUT TO THIS SONG A LOT And He had a whammy bar too he lovedddd to use it
You guys really should listen to deep Purple "Child In Time" live. There's a great live performance from their early days floating around out there and you can see these guys Killin it.
That one gives me chills.
Definitely listen to 'Child in Time'
Absolutely spot on 👌
This is It's A Beautiful Day's "Bombay Calling" with lyrics.
Deep Purple are one of the UK's iconic Rock/metal bands of the 1970s
For me, the two best albums are Machine Head (with Smoke on the Water), and Fireball.
The band comprised great musicians all of whom went on to found other bands, so the lineup kept changing.
They were one of the very top bands, so great replacement musicians were easy to find.
Deep Purple are still touring. They had a programme of venues in the UK for late last year which got cancelled (covid). I believe it was rescheduled for this year. They were being supported by Blue Oyster Cult, so that would make an amazing show.
If you want to listen to more of Deep Purple, try Highway Star, Lazy, Space Trucking from Machine Head, and Fireball and Strange Kind of Woman from the Fireball album.
Other great songs are Sweet Child in Time and Woman from Tokyo.
There's plenty to go at - you're starting out on a long journey 😂😂😂
This song is sooooooooo iconic, an anthem for a generation !
This is my walking into a Bickers bar with this blaring on the Juke box and me getting ready to kick some AAAAASSS PLAYING SOME POLL
DEEP PURPLE! Many, many AWESOME tunes!
Probably stated by others, this was the first lick learned by every young aspiring Rock God/Guitar Hero in the 70's even into the 80's. Such great memories.
I'll never forget when I was able to play that guitar riff flawlessly for the first time. It was one of the defining moments of my life. :D
We had the privilege of seeing them five years ago. OMG they were incredible on instrumental. Thank you Ritchie Blackmore and hard rock backup!
Deep Purple along with other British bands like Cream really started the whole stadium rock phenomenon.
The beauty of this song is that it is so simple. Littery anyone can do it but they put it together so well that there is no way you can imagine anyone doing it better.
Most famous riff in rock. This is a true story they watched as it burn 🔥 Frank Zappa was performing. They were there to make an album 💿. The best guitarist in the 80’s redid the song for charity. The guitarist is Richie Blackmore.
Richie Blackmore "guitarist", is a genius.🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
I can't tell you how many Deep Purple concerts I have seen! Love them!
Love seeing you kids discovering a lot of my favorite music. Groups in the 60s and 70s did not have electronic enhancements, just their instruments and voices to make music that still makes you smile 50+ years later.
That's true lets all remember the fact that even though in the 90's we have had all the electric enhancements possible for music bands and musicians, it's good to note that Many of the grunge bands from that era of music & individuals, like Nirvana & AIC & Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees/ Mark Lanegan, Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl... supergroups of that era like Mad Season, Temple of the Dog, and many more bands that I can't think of the top of my head but worth noting as there are more aswell talented musicians/ vocalists, They all brought back the sound of the late 60's like Inspiration from Bands like Cream and obviously Beatles but then again who isn't influenced by Beatles lol. Also Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones, Byrds, also 70's iconic rock groups From led zeppelin, Deep Purple to more punk outfits like Sex pistols, The clash & so on... What those bands did in the 90's is combine the beauty aswell as the darkness/authentic & bare bone nature of punk to make some of the most iconic sounds that are still heard till this day. Essentially what I'm trying to say is they kept it real and also focused on their instruments the most without any additions to cover up any imperfections. And also displayed the raw talents of bands. As we know dance & pop music was at full swing and people like MJ were using so much electrical music to make their sound. Not to say he had a bad voice but nonetheless, he used autotune to some extent and he wasn't a musician couldn't play any instruments which to me is just insane when your considered a musical icon but don't play instruments, how are you creating your music just baffled me the whole concept of that even being a thing, but anyway he sang I guess so that counts, even though that's a cop out, and also he was definitely talented enough to learn himself, also to note after many years we find out all this weird nature of his private life which doesn't have anything to do with anything when being mentioned in this argument so to speak but still it's very damning to his legendary status and it also makes the whole vibe of his music hint in a downward trajectory... Anyway focusing on the musical aspect of things his voice also maddona another one of those to enhance their sound artificially which is fine I guess everyone has the freedom to make whatever music you want, but I found that the rock music from that era brought back the realism of things and like you could connect with people & Individuals that seemed like they were genuinely the same as on stage also in-person, something that was clearly lacking in other music genres of that time, and the grunge musicians decided it was time to change that and clearly used that as a tool to bring back raw sounding rock to the masses and major labels, a smart move as definitely people were felt like being left out and they capitalised on that, smart move you could say, even though it was all genuine not just made up for the sake of making an influence, as we know for example Kurt for his whole life felt like he was the outsider so it wasn't a Fugazi, what was that tho was acts from maddona that I just mentioned and also MJ and even Rock groups like G&R where they would wear flannel t shirts trying to fit in, even though Kurt stated many times, that it's about the music and not what I wear that is drawing these crowds to these shows not only of his but other bands that were playing this music as well, imagine maddona wearing a flannel lol... Even fashion changed and people started showcasing flannel shirts, it was as truly laughable from Kurt's perspective, and I guess ruined the whole idea of it being like this little underground, quiet thing that people enjoyed to this big commercial movement, little bit like the hippies where things eventually got so mainstream that it took Manson and his family to commit these crazy acts to change the course of culture, that was for grunge the death of Kurt Cobain unfortunately in 1994 of course if it didn't happen whether it was suicide or not, the point isn't what it was but the outcome of events, and that it clearly ended this grunge movement, even though there were still very talented groups, some likewise the same skill as Kurt, for some reason things never were the same & the main pioneer dying clearly left a big impression or should I say left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and people couldn't just pretend like it didn't happen, the same with the Manson Murders... You can't just forget about something like that clearly. Also Layne was deep in H by that point so his struggles meant he couldn't perform as much as possible, and bands like SoundGarden were wanting to be left out of the spotlight after all of those close ones that they seen suffer as a consequence of fame as well as Pearl jam hence the reason why it just slowly died out, even though any movement eventually dies out anyway. It's just a shame It had to happen like that in that fashion. The bands from the 90's grunge era showcased their raw talents. And clearly inspiration from that era of music which would be the 60's hippie movement with also elements of punk music distributed all over the songs & albums and also the mindset of these individuals, we know this as it's said by the actual people themselves, and by studying the sound of the songs and you can hear th influence right in your face, it's unavoidable. It's so obvious...and clearly the last era of pure rock music without any bullshit so to speak... which i fully enjoy, good to note that I'm only 27 as of now while writing this comment. So anyway can fall in some kind of love with anything doesn't matter the age or whether you are part of something that was or wasn't in your generation, or anything to do with me so to speak. Also no one showed me this sort of music. I found it myself, I love music. And I like to connect with something that isn't just pushed into my face, but I would like the idea of finding something that I enjoy... and that's the most important thing, it showed me that I'm aware as well of myself. Some of others could question my decision, and say I'm only showing off or trying to prove some kind of point in that I wanna be an outcast instead of actually being one. I guess some of us are looking too deep into stuff. How about the fact that I might just like this sort of music. Didn't that even cross those people's minds. And if anything they should be proud that still people that are young and grow up older listen to music that is way past their generations music. But I can relate to love or despair. I can't relate to violence and relish the idea of it. And fantasies about it. It's ridiculously stupid. Although I guess music does bare influence on us as I suffered the cost of that so to speak as, drugs is a thing most commonly known with rock music from 60's 70's 90's tbh any era. It just depends what drugs are related. So I guess to some degree I am stupid. But still I would rather experiment with drugs like I have done, than commit violence to others, and end up committing a crime I would have to regret for the rest of my life, forever living in agony. Thank you very much, I'm good 👍😊 at least you can say the consequences of my actions don't effect others more than they effect me for the good or bad. Which ever it is. My conscience to some degree doesn't allow me to just commit violent actions of inner rage and rebellion. There are other ways to express that or release those demons you can say. And that's by finding a healthy release. Not ending up in jail for the rest of your life as you squeezed the trigger and killed some innocent or not young or old civilian or criminal. It doesn't matter really, I ain't that brainwashed to allow my mind to be taken over to that degree, oh hell nah.... IM GOOD 👍 THX ✌️
Funny how Jordan always takes me back when listening to these bangers. He has the same intense look, head banging, drumming gestures, closed eyes, while listening to this music as the guys of my youth. Hard to believe not that long ago he had never heard this genre of music. So glad to see he enjoys it.
This is known as the "Mother of all riffs", by the the great Ritchie Blackmore.
Perfect strangers is another great, deep, purple song... They put on a great concert I saw them in the eighties
Deep Purple is one of the best rock bands ever.
You've got to watch Deep Purple performing Child In Time Live on a UK program called "Doing Their Thing" it's awesome.
The riff is truly iconic. There are even organized events where guitarists get together just to play those chords (it's even in the Guinness Book of World Records).
Just a copy:

Enjoyed your reaction - you guys are fun together. I graduated high school in 1976, after football game dances on Friday night- this song (smoke on the water) was often played, that is where my mind immediately went- back at the dance- an innocent high school kid again trying to build up the courage to ask a girl to dance. Thanks for enjoying the old classics this old man grew up with!
I graduated in ‘77. Same thing - every school dance had this and Stairway to Heaven playing 🎶 🎸
DEEP PURPLE CHILD IN TIME & HIGHWAY STAR IS A MUST!!!!!
If you like "Smoke on the Water", you'll enjoy Highway Star, Space Truckin, Perfect Strangers and more!
Great song too. You bring back so many memories for me... I was born in 1950 so I probably have heard every song from every genre you play. Love you guys. ❤
Me too all. The decades & genres of the best music 👍🇬🇧
One of the most famous riffs of all time.
the 70's and 80's had some awesome groups.
Saw them in 1970 ! I was in the first row, ... a wild dancing fool. At the end of the concert Ian Gillian (singer) leaned over from the stage and gave me one of their 3ft conga drums! Deep Purple were Metal before it was called Heavy Metal. Recommend: Blue Cheer, "Summertime Blues", 1968. The the first "Heavy Metal" song! [Original 1957, by Eddie Cochran]
As a teenager , I listened to the Machine Head album for hours, over and over again. Awesome band, very underrated
This song is one of the countless "Anthem"tunes that marked the "Kegger"days of high school in the early 70s.i was there and it was great
This is a famous riff. The minute that you hear it, you know the artist & what song it is . Epic! 50 years old this year!
Another rite-of-passage guitar riff that every aspiring rock guitarist learns.
There are several documentaries about the making of this album that are worth the look-see. Also, this configuration of the band... Deep Purple Mark II is probably my favorite. Ian Gillan also sang the role of Jesus in the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. And yes... they do still tour.
When little Johnny asks his mum n dad for a guitar for Christmas THIS is the first riff he will learn … it’s the law !!
👍🏴
You will always remember the sound of smoke on the water..Deep Purple.🤘🏼
This is an alternate take that I never heard before, the guitar solo is different, and I think I prefer the original.
Also, check out “Highway Star” and “Hush”
Yup this take is nowhere near as good as the original album version.
This is a bonus track version from the 30th anniversary edition of the album.
every garage band played this tune. it's the first guitar riff people would learn.
One of the best songs you will ever hear and true story
one of the true greats singing here , whar a voice
