Met Roger when I was 19 years old in the early 80s when he was touring with Rainbow.... He was a nice humble guy!! Met Ritchie too and he was equally as nice and signed the first Rainbow album for me!!! Met them both at a bar after the show!! A memory I will always cherish!!!
I have great memories of the early days of chat rooms on AOL when Roger Glover and Jon Lord would pop into a Tuesday Night Deep Purple Chat room and hang with us for a couple of hours. I still have those original e-mail screen names saved.
'"Carry on, Jon"-- Ritchie's comment on a tribute video a few years ago- so very appropriate ❤ Lord was 1 of a handful of 🎹.keys players who was so unique, we knew instantly upon hearing--
That is my favorite album of all time. It is perfectly engineered album. The mixing is incredible, you can here every pic and squeak of every instrument. Hearing Ian paice made me take up drumming.
My wife and I were in Geneva two years ago to see Lara Fabian in concert, but I had to visit Montreux and find The Grand Hotel. My wife was afraid we'd be thrown out as I dragged her up and down stairs and along corridors to see whether I could work out where this masterpiece was recorded. I think I found the 'T' that's mentioned, but couldn't say which of, I think, three floors was the right one. But it was really special to visit the place - something of a pilgrimage - and enjoy a couple of drinks in the bar. None of the staff I spoke to were very clued up about the story. All a generation or two too young!
@@dplzkc6713 Do you mean the floor that would open onto the road on the lake side (I seem to remember shops there) or the floor with reception facing the street at the back (two or three floors up)? I don't think I was able get more than two floors down from reception, so I might just have to be satisfied with having been in the same building!
I recall reading an interview with one of the members of DP at the time MH was being released. It may have been Creem or Hit Parader or a similar music magazine of the time. They mentioned the song and described the whole ordeal and how they converted the hotel into a recording studio. I soon heard the album, I recall being disappointed in it, as my favourite album at the time was In Rock, which I thought was far superior. Gradually Smoke On The Water became a popular hit, but I never thought it was one of their better songs, and neither did Ritchie Blackmore. Lazy, Pictures Of Home and Highway Star are the best cuts. But on In Rock every song is gold.

Lovely man Roger, extremely humble. Spoken to Simon Robinson on the phone, great guy.
Roger Glover is a class guy! It's wonderful to hear him tell "the story" in The Grand. Thanks for sharing this event.
Thanks. Great.
Roger Glover, ever the gent , always a pleasure
