Let's please give Ian Paice some love for his super unconventional and creative drumming! He actually solos underneath the verses and plays the beat in between. This is what you normally would never do because it would be considered overplaying. But somehow he makes it work and it adds to the excitement of the song. Also one of the best guitar riffs on any Purple song.
There's a drum solo going on in the verses !! Imo, this is one of the best drum tracks of all time. Ian Paice is killing it..!! Great tune, love your content..I been drumming 50+ years
I'm not going to argue with you and I'm sure you agree with me as to why...Richie Blackmore, reason for THEE greatness as well as why they're undervalued🤷♂️
The bass and the singer of the high harmonies and the "you know we have no time" bridges was Glenn Hughes...He was known as "THE VOICE" back in the 70's...He is still rocking at 73 with Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian in the band Black Country Communion
And did a couple albums recently with Dead Daisies, one with California Breed, many solo albums and an album with Sabbath. Still the voice of rock. Still amazing today unlike his peers
Yep. I just saw him two nights ago here in Ohio. Great show! He hit all of those high notes in Burn at 73, while shredding on bass. One of the best performances I've seen.
Can't believe they didn't even mention the drumming masterclass from Ian Paice, shocking. One of the greatest air drumming songs ever and it totally passed them by.
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Because I am an old Boomer I remember watching Cal Jam "live" (to tape) back in the day on ABC. Parts were shown on the network's In Concert show a couple months later.
Brother, i also am from the church of Blackmore. I sing the man's praises for changing the game. Humble beginnings playing Gene Vincent type stuff to "wolf to the moon" on rainbow's albums...and to arguably his best playing, on acoustic with Blackmore's night.
Thanks! Man… underrated is the most used term and it hardly ever is used currently. It means I think they are awesome and I just discovered them I’ll call them underrated because I never heard until recently. 😅
No acknowledgement of Paicey's drumming though... 😄 I think you guys will also dig You Fool No One from this record too. Also has cowbell! 😁 Other songs to consider... Black Night Hush Lazy Stormbringer Vincent Price Fireball Pictures of Home
Master class drumworks in this one. Mr. Ian Paice guys, boys`n girls and you missed it? Whaaat? And the classical music vibes? You need to listen this one again 🙂
Man, all the band members are just cooking on this one. Killer drums from Paice, killer bass from Hughes, killer riffs from Blackmore, killer vocals from Coverdale, Lord playing more of a supportive role until his solo. Love the neo-classical solos from both Blackmore and Lord. Such a cool contrast from the blues-rock elsewhere.
Oh MAN!!! I wrote you repeatedly last year asking for you to cover this song. Specifically, you guys, because of the DRUMS! I can’t even think right now of another song that has insane drumming while the lead singer is singing! Usually when it’s between the vocals, the drummer gets offbeat or more interesting. But this is out of control, drumming perfection. I mean, how did you skip over that? It’s the reason I bought this album in the first place.
Jon Lord plays usually a heavily overdriven Hammond organ (I think a C3 model in this song). In Burn he's also playing an ARP Odissey synthesizer in one of the solos. Even when it is not center, his organ is the texture and glue that helps making Deep Purple music heavier stuff! When the Lord plays, we listen. (R.I.P.)
Love it! Ryan groovin' to the guitar work of the great Ritchie Blackmore an dGeorge groovin' to the bass lines during the same progression was entertaining... I love your takes on our great classic rock and metal tunes! It gives the songs, the genres, and even more the acknowledgment that this still has an impact on listeners almost 50 years since it has been recorded! Keep the Faith guys! \m/
That Hammond organ sound was all over the place during that period of time. Just FYI, this was a dual vocal. David Coverdale did the main vocal, but then Glenn Hughes (the bass player) does the high parts and harmonies.
Perhaps one of my favorite riffs and solos of all time as well as the tone of Ritchie’s guitar. It’s not highly distorted, it’s t’s a subtle growl; it took me a long time to even come close with my guitar and equipment. Excellent excellent review by the way.
One of my all-time favorites. So is Mistreated which also appears on this album. I got started on both of these songs on the live album Made in Europe and they sound even better on that album in my opinion. It was one of the most exciting albums on the racks back in the 70s. I love it to this day.
i remember the Circus magazine headline when this album came out. "Deep Purple rises from the ashes". They had a new lead singer and a new bass player and just rocked the pants off of the world with this album.
richie blackmore was on folk and classical music, that is the reason i like him... in this song you can listen his classical influences. i listened to this song as kid. so i like more metalbands with classical influences.... it is also a very brutal song. in 1974 it must have been a extreme metal song for the people...
'Burn' is an interesting Deep Purple album and one of their best... It came in 1974 after Ian Gillan (vocals) quit the band in '73 and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore would stay only if bassist Roger Glover was fired (Glover quit as a result... Strangely, he joined Blackmore's band Rainbow in 1979) ...The rest of Deep Purple was still Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) Glenn Hughes (bass) joined and he actually shared vocals w/ David Coverdale (lead vocals)... 'Burn' was a hit, despite the lead singer change and Deep Purple was playing arenas and stadiums in '74... However, Ritchie Blackmore was frustrated w/ the new direction and despite the success of the next album 'Stormbringer' (also in '74)... Blackmore was getting ready to bail and left the band in 1975. He formed Rainbow w/ vocalist Ronnie James Dio and released "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow' debut album in '75. Deep Purple opted to carry on, hiring former James Gang guitarist Tommy Bolin, who was American... and recorded the album 'Come taste the band' in 1975... Unfortunately, the band's fans were not willing to accept a Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... After a disastrous tour, marred by tragedy... and both Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin struggling w/ drug addiction, Deep Purple split up in 1976. David Coverdale formed a new band Whitesnake in 1978 after releasing 2 solo albums... and he became more commercially successful than Deep Purple... In 2015, David Coverdale re-recorded some of his best songs w/ Deep Purple and released Whitesnake's 'The Purple album' as a tribute to late keyboardist Jon Lord (who was once a member of Whitesnake)... It has a new version of 'Burn'.
Amigos!!! The Coverdale-fronted era of Deep Purple rocked like no one else’s business. To hear Mr. Coverdale get even more bluesier, try out “Mistreated”, live or in-studio. It’s a certified banger bros 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
It took a while, but I'm glad you guys liked this one. Deep Purple is an absolute pioneer of the game. It might be a bit tough to recognize that fact, since other bands have copied their sound and never given credit, so now Deep Purple sounds like the ordinary stuff. But if you look at many bands and then determine from where they received their influences, there's an extremely high chance they'd answer "Deep Purple." There's absolutely no question that modern music would be vastly different without the influence of Deep Purple: They are massively important. Even if you run into a few songs you don't like, or only kinda-like, I STRONGLY recommend you give them a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chance. I definitely recommend "Stormbringer" from them, next. There's no doubt that it's exactly what you're looking for. It's damn-near a perfect hard-rock song. I bet you guys would think it was a Black Sabbath song, if you didn't know any better. It's also worth hearing this exact same song played again, except the Whitesnake (Live) version. I know it's sacrilege to suggest such a thing, but I feel like it's actually better than the original (Make sure you check the history between Whitesnake and Deep Purple; I'm not just bringing up this cover for no reason.). But, if you truly want the perfect song for your guys, "Holographic Universe" by Scar Symmetry is definitely the way to go. It's a prog-metal song, with a bit of jazz mixed in, and it's absolutely what you guys have been asking for when you talk about 'Finding the groove' in metal songs.
YOU HAVE TO DO "STORMBRINGER" by these guys.......theres even a "remastered version" for ol mr perfect over there lol......seriously though, the riff will be enough
To Ryan: Whitesnake (David Coverdale’s later band) covered Burn in a heavy metal sound, give it a listen and see if it’s got that sound you’re looking for.
The band was getting funky with the addition of Glenn Hughes on bass and backing vocals. You can here him an octave higher than Coverdale in each chorus and he sings the 4th verse. Great voices in the band on BURN and their last one with founder Ritchie Blackmore called STORMBRINGER. I would love to hear you guys react to the DPurple track called “Gettin Tighter” from their last record of the 70’s called, COME TASTE THE BAND.
If you want some earlier raw Purple tracks that will blow you away, have a listen to.... - Fireball......Fast, thrashy, the best drums you'll ever hear, fluid. This is a must! - Speedking......another fast heavy song. - Bloodsucker.....much slower but more dirty, very heavy, a bit funky.
i feared they wouldnt say anything about the amazing drums, and they didnt lol, one of the best and most stellar drum performance in rock ever
Yeah, that was odd they didn't catch Paice's killer drum fills. It's such an iconic drum track!
Agreed 100%
Not musicians. Hip hopers.
YUP
Those fills were fast and clean.
Let's please give Ian Paice some love for his super unconventional and creative drumming! He actually solos underneath the verses and plays the beat in between. This is what you normally would never do because it would be considered overplaying. But somehow he makes it work and it adds to the excitement of the song. Also one of the best guitar riffs on any Purple song.
Great comment!
56 years as Deep Purple drummer 🥁
yes exactly, the drum part is a permanent solo ! excuse me my english is not very good :)
There's a drum solo going on in the verses !! Imo, this is one of the best drum tracks of all time. Ian Paice is killing it..!! Great tune, love your content..I been drumming 50+ years
Glenn Hughes' voice is as good today as it was back then.
I'd argue that Glenn has gained considerably more taste over the years while losing very little (if anything) of his range.
@@jasperdevries1726 you're right man, since he's sober he's another man. Great artist anyway.
Man. First time for me, what a hell of a song!
Drummer Ian Paice is on fire for this song. Amazing performance!
56 years as Deep Purple drummer 🥁
The snare work is unreal. Add on multiple killer melodies, sometimes occurring simultaneously, and you have a great song.
Such an important band in the development of metal
No doubt. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Cream and Jimi Hendrix are the Big 5 that spawned off all of the heavy music that followed them.
@ucantkillrocknroll I'd throw in Uriah Heep in there too, maybe instead of Cream
they created metal along with Sabbath
Deep Purple is the most undervalued band in rock history and I will *DIE* on this hill
I'm not going to argue with you and I'm sure you agree with me as to why...Richie Blackmore, reason for THEE greatness as well as why they're undervalued🤷♂️
It is a strong argument and we may find ourselves on the same hill, together.
Dont worry, there will be a lot of us occupying the Hill
One of the most well-known and legendary bands ever is undervalued? Really?
is undervalued the new underrated trope? Being used correctly once every 30 times spoken?
Burn is still my fave DP track. Everyone in the band gets to shine here. Coverdale and Hughes sharing vocals is majestic.
Mine too
Great tune, Fireball is mine. What a killer keys solo in that track!
… The drummer is a monster, a total legend on the sticks, so big shout out to Ian Paice, who is still playing strong,! 🥁🥁🥁🎸🎹🎤
I'm not sure how even non-musicians don't recognize the incredible drum performance. Speechless on how these guys missed it.
The bass and the singer of the high harmonies and the "you know we have no time" bridges was Glenn Hughes...He was known as "THE VOICE" back in the 70's...He is still rocking at 73 with Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian in the band Black Country Communion
And did a couple albums recently with Dead Daisies, one with California Breed, many solo albums and an album with Sabbath. Still the voice of rock. Still amazing today unlike his peers
@@flyingburritobro68 I hope he does another album with Tony Iommi...
Yep. I just saw him two nights ago here in Ohio. Great show! He hit all of those high notes in Burn at 73, while shredding on bass. One of the best performances I've seen.
Genuinely surprised you didn't mention one of the craziest drums ever recorded. Especially since you usually notice the drums the most.
Can't believe they didn't even mention the drumming masterclass from Ian Paice, shocking. One of the greatest air drumming songs ever and it totally passed them by.
The drumming on this goes off maaaan! Paice is legendary
Hughes' vox on the chorus and "no time" bridge is nuts.
And he still have that voice today, at 73!
He goes even higher on the live performance at the California Jam!
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Because I am an old Boomer I remember watching Cal Jam "live" (to tape) back in the day on ABC. Parts were shown on the network's In Concert show a couple months later.
Blackmore ruled .. the guitar is awesome .. his solo , arpeggios, rythm guitar chops were way ahead of time .. 💜🎸🌈🎸
Ian Paice is hitting those drums like they owe him money
Richie Blackmore...a living legend that everyone forgets about, 100% his own doing, what a shame🤷♂️
Brother, i also am from the church of Blackmore. I sing the man's praises for changing the game. Humble beginnings playing Gene Vincent type stuff to "wolf to the moon" on rainbow's albums...and to arguably his best playing, on acoustic with Blackmore's night.
Just turned 68 this summer, Class of '74 ... I grew up on this stuff !!! ❤❤❤
My favorite Deep Purple song! 2 guitar solos, 2 keyboard solos, and a kickass drum track the whole way through. FIRE!
Ian Paice is a severely underrated drummer. He's in my top 5.
Underrated is the most overrated term on youtube. Saying that Paice is underrated ist like saying Einstein or Beethoven is underrated. Pure nonsense.
Thanks! Man… underrated is the most used term and it hardly ever is used currently. It means I think they are awesome and I just discovered them I’ll call them underrated because I never heard until recently. 😅
@@gillan5 why the overhate?
@@gillan5 I would say "criminally underrated" is more the more overrated term.
I saw them about a week ago. Paice is still on fire.
No acknowledgement of Paicey's drumming though... 😄
I think you guys will also dig You Fool No One from this record too. Also has cowbell! 😁
Other songs to consider...
Black Night
Hush
Lazy
Stormbringer
Vincent Price
Fireball
Pictures of Home
Lay down stay down is another awesome one.
Both cuts mentioned above are great… also Mistreated
@@FVDYup major omission
This song is such a ride I love it
Master class drumworks in this one. Mr. Ian Paice guys, boys`n girls and you missed it? Whaaat? And the classical music vibes? You need to listen this one again 🙂
The first album for David Coverdale on vocals, and Glenn Hughes on bass! And then there is Ian Paice on drums! Still one of my favorites!!
First album with Deep Purple.
Glenn did 3 albums with Trapeze before that
What I love most about music is how it hits you differently each time you listen to a song .
One of the greatest songs in the history of Hard Rock! Try "Demon's Eye" next. Bluesy and Heavy as Hell.
Burn is so good that they stopped talking for at least a minute, which is an achievement😂
Man, all the band members are just cooking on this one. Killer drums from Paice, killer bass from Hughes, killer riffs from Blackmore, killer vocals from Coverdale, Lord playing more of a supportive role until his solo. Love the neo-classical solos from both Blackmore and Lord. Such a cool contrast from the blues-rock elsewhere.
Don't forget also the incredible vocals from Glenn Hughes in this, too.
@@bobthebear1246 beat me to it!
Black Sabbath + Deep Purple + Judas Priest
This is a holy trinity of Heavy Metal 🤘🏽
😂
Ahh... I think you meant to say Sabbath, Purple & Zeppelin my friend, right? 🤔😉
@@216Numbskull ..the 'unholy trinity'
YAY!!!! I KNEW you guys would love this song, one of the VERY BEST that Deep Purple ever did!!!!
The live version of Burn at The California Jam will knock your socks off and is a must listen.
Definitely should do Lazy
The great glenn Hughes singing the chorus. incredible singer
And bass player!
Yes, one of my favs! IMHO, good example of an early proto metal song. Fireball, Stormbringer also come to mind.
Finally! Death Alley Driver from RAinbow. Another mesmerizing Ritchie Blackmore solo
Oh MAN!!! I wrote you repeatedly last year asking for you to cover this song. Specifically, you guys, because of the DRUMS! I can’t even think right now of another song that has insane drumming while the lead singer is singing! Usually when it’s between the vocals, the drummer gets offbeat or more interesting.

GREAT DRUM WORK by IAN PAICE!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! He really shines in this one!! THANKS, FELLAS!!
Im in a DP tribute and this is one you cannot wing on drums. I went to the studio and hammered it out for a bit to get the feel of it. Paice is king.
Space Trucking is badass! Do it next!!
both the studio and Made in Japan version
"Lazy" by DP will knock it out of the park for you guys. How about getting back to Molly Hatchett? "The edge of sundown". Then Joe Satriani "Cool # 9.
Wow...can't believe that drummer Ian Paice's unbelievable drum work was completely ignored on this one. Yikes.
Jon Lord plays usually a heavily overdriven Hammond organ (I think a C3 model in this song). In Burn he's also playing an ARP Odissey synthesizer in one of the solos.
Even when it is not center, his organ is the texture and glue that helps making Deep Purple music heavier stuff!
When the Lord plays, we listen. (R.I.P.)
No one is talking about the fabulous keyboard playing Jon Lord!
BURN is 1 of my favorite Purple songs! I've known drummers who love playing this song. It's a total workout.
To me, this is the song that confirms that Ian Paice was the best heavy rock drummer of the 70s and a top 5 rock drummer in history.
Man... What Richie Blackmore did to heavy metal!!! Everybody talks about black Sabbath, but Deep Purple where just super influential!
The man working hardest in this song is the drummer, Ian Paice. Such a kick ass tone and kept everything going.
Deep purple awesome!
11:40 - jon Lord classical background and Bach vibes
Love it!
Ryan groovin' to the guitar work of the great Ritchie Blackmore an dGeorge groovin' to the bass lines during the same progression was entertaining...

FYI: David Coverdale would go on to form Whitesnake shortly after this!
That Hammond organ sound was all over the place during that period of time. Just FYI, this was a dual vocal. David Coverdale did the main vocal, but then Glenn Hughes (the bass player) does the high parts and harmonies.
Jon Lord is one of the greatest Hammond players in history!

Deep Purple's Stormbringer is the jam.
Happy to see these guys get some love! Such a phenomenal band. Space truckin next!
This song is sheer perfection🤘
One of my favourite Deep Purple songs for bass is 'No No No' off Fireball, really goes off for the whole thing :D
i remember the Circus magazine headline when this album came out. "Deep Purple rises from the ashes". They had a new lead singer and a new bass player and just rocked the pants off of the world with this album.
Great pick, great album, and a great bassline especially, very fun song to play
richie blackmore was on folk and classical music, that is the reason i like him... in this song you can listen his classical influences. i listened to this song as kid. so i like more metalbands with classical influences.... it is also a very brutal song. in 1974 it must have been a extreme metal song for the people...
it is one of hard rock's greatest songs.
Those drum fills! 😮
Paice is amazing.
I guess they don’t like drums. 🤔
David Coverdale is a true legend.
My friends met Glenn Hughes when he was touring on his own... He signed my Burn album. Very nice man who smelled DELICIOUS.
God, it's been awhile since I listened to this song. I forgot just how good it is.
If you haven't yet, please check out Hush by Deep Purple.

Eddie VH loved this guitar solo.
It took a while, but I'm glad you guys liked this one.
Deep Purple is an absolute pioneer of the game.
It might be a bit tough to recognize that fact, since other bands have copied their sound and never given credit, so now Deep Purple sounds like the ordinary stuff.
But if you look at many bands and then determine from where they received their influences, there's an extremely high chance they'd answer "Deep Purple."
There's absolutely no question that modern music would be vastly different without the influence of Deep Purple: They are massively important.
Even if you run into a few songs you don't like, or only kinda-like, I STRONGLY recommend you give them a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chance.
I definitely recommend "Stormbringer" from them, next. There's no doubt that it's exactly what you're looking for. It's damn-near a perfect hard-rock song.
I bet you guys would think it was a Black Sabbath song, if you didn't know any better.
It's also worth hearing this exact same song played again, except the Whitesnake (Live) version. I know it's sacrilege to suggest such a thing, but I feel like it's actually better than the original (Make sure you check the history between Whitesnake and Deep Purple; I'm not just bringing up this cover for no reason.).

YOU HAVE TO DO "STORMBRINGER" by these guys.......theres even a "remastered version" for ol mr perfect over there lol......seriously though, the riff will be enough
Deep Purple can get really funky at times! Check out Deep Purple - Stormbringer!!
That was one of the reasons why Ritchie Blackmore left the band is they were becoming too funky
The tone shift in the solo is going from a guitar to an organ. You should check out “Lazy” by Deep Purple the studio version and “Space Truckin”
They’re heads bobbing with the music is the ultimate tribute to Ian price drumming
Best version is on Californian Jam-74 burn.
brilliant album
Drums guys!!!
To Ryan: Whitesnake (David Coverdale’s later band) covered Burn in a heavy metal sound, give it a listen and see if it’s got that sound you’re looking for.
THE DRUMS 🥁 ❤YES SIR
thanks for this one - all the album is high dope
Please do 'Space Truckin' !
DP are Rock Legends. Such a Talented Band. The Harmonies are Amazing. They will always be my Fav Band.🤘🤘🤘
Live version from 1975 is what you need to hear! No remaster needed!

Aw yeah! This one is one of the most underrated tracks from Deep Purple...the drumming is FIRE!
