Just how hard where these guys back then? Was it like the Bon Jovi of the time or more like Metallica?
>>122520557Metallica, I guess. Still blues based like Zep though and not as different as Sabbath.
Think more in the vein of UFO but with a Hammond BC3 organ
>>122520557They're literally one of the grandfathers of heavy metal.
>>122521994my grandfather got a patent for a really important construction alloy
>>122520557seems like nothing now but they were harder/heavier than other bands around at the timebut they were more about long instrumental jams than being heavy for the sake of it
>>122521994that's Blue Cheer akshually
>>122521994They're also the model for Spinal Tap
>>122522002kek
>>122527274Actually, that would apply more to Status Quo than Deep Purple.
>>122527541more so led zeppelin and the band, as their concert movies were direct inspirations.
>>122527564On some levels, yes but Status Quo was a band that only had ONE U.S. hit, and still remained popular through out the rest of the world while The U.S. asked "Where Are They Now", so Spinal Tap is really based more on Status Quo than anybody else.
