It certainly is but he always makes it look easy. If you want to see what a workout it really is checkout YOYOKA covering ( at 11 I think ) Ian reacted to it and was very complimentry. That also reveals what a real gentleman he is too.
Ian is a real gentleman and a hell of a drummer. Unbeknown to him, when I talked with Ian about 3 years ago to try to figure out why I lost my ability to play drums after returning to playing music and being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he was trying to figure out why. In our conversation , he said, "Maybe it has something to do with coordinating 3 or 4 things at once." After extensive medical research, I discovered that playing a drum kit lights new neurons in the brain and gives new movement. If Ian hadn't said that, I would have never made my discovery. I now have regained my ability to play and started to reverse the Parkinson's. I have Ian to thank for making that comment.
Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band are far and away the best Purple albums of the 60s and 70s. Only Perfect Strangers, The Battle Rages On and Purpendicular can compete from the reunion era, even those three can’t take of the Coverdale Hughes era!
It's my belief that Ian Paice is rock's greatest drummer, people are seduced by other drummers' bombastic drum kits and the obvious narrative. Paice is a humble, self effacing man who avoids competitive comparisons and let's his playing do the talking. I'm glad to say there seems to be a recent reappraisal of top end rock drummers ranking in favour of Paice. His fills always grab my attention. He's a purist with a simple kit.
Paice is absolutely one of the best and fastest drummers ever really. I will admit I'm one of those who took a while to come to this conclusion but since I've been playing in bands now for almost 20 years I look at music very differently than I did when I was 10 yrs old which is when this album came out. And I heard it then. Another criminally underrated rock drummer is Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy.
@@vicprovost2561 I saw and read about Neil Peart organising a Buddy Rich Tribute gala and he evidently struggled to adapt to the style of jazz whereas it showed it was second nature to Paice. So, as opposed to the general consensus, it kinda proved Paice is the superior drummer technically.
Totally agree that Ian is the greatest drummer. He can be fast and flashy when he wants to, but he can also be subtle...with lots of ghost notes on the snare and accents on the hi hat to make it swing. It's not easy to play like that and make it sound natural. He has a very musical approach to the songs.
California Jam in the spring of '74. Last 3 bands were Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Deep Purple, Burn and ELP, Brain Salad Surgery. I remember it well. Epic show, to say the least.
I was there. Fifteen feet from the stage. Deep purple took forever to get onstage. Elp didn't go on until 1 am. Ritchie wrecked the TV camera and blew up the stage
Those 3 bands were the reason I was watching. Had never seen them til this. Blackmore's solo from Burn in that concert made me learn guitar, and I've been playing every day since!
Cal Jam 2 has some incredible performances recorded! Best version I've ever heard of Starrider, Black Magic woman, Barracuda and more, worth checking out!
Blackmore rules on this he plays the arpegios progressions clean jointly with the keyboards .. too good for those years, he started it all, the beginning of rock guitar shredding .. way ahead of his guitar colleagues 🎸💜🎸🌈🎸😎
I’m so glad i was in my early teens when this music came out…the 70’s was the greates decade in rock history…glad to have been a part of it all…whoever was the first to coin the phrase…”long live rock & roll”…knew what they were talking about. If ever there was an understatement, that was it…
Deep Purple has always made a point, of having the very best musicians around, regardless of the iteration of the band. In this particular mark, the band actually had two singers: Coverdale and Hughes (who also played the bass). @Doug.Helvering, I urge you to go and listen to this very song, when the band played it at the California Jam '74. It is an astonishing performance of this track, it really was Heavy Metal in the making. And you also get to better experience the phenomenal power of Glenn "The Voice Of Rock" Hughes.
Yes - Jon Lord wasn't aware of it when he wrote the song, but his girlfriend pointed out the unmistakable parallel to him when she heard a demo of it. It's a half unconscious loan.
Ritchie's been pretty candid about some of his borrowings and influences. My father was a fan of Gershwin, and I wish he'd lived for me to say "Hey, remember that music you told me to turn down? Check this out ..."
I was the drummer for a Deep Purple tribute band many years ago, so we met him twice and had the honor to play together with him. The first time I met him I was so excited that I could not say anything, he looked at me and said "I don't believe you don't have anything to say to me, do you?" and this helped me break the ice. The second time we met was about 5 years later, and as soon as he saw me he said "We met before, don't we?", showing that he actually remembered me. An absolute gentleman, so humble, and of course a hell of a drummer. We spent almost an hour talking about his Paiste cymbal choice. Unforgettable
Just saw Deep Purple live in Glasgow a few days ago and Ian Paice's drumming is still fantastic. The whole band was great and the guys seemed like they were really enjoying themselves. Hope they'll stay around for a while longer!
Ritchie's solo on "Burn" was pretty badass and ahead of its time, and "Mistreated " is my favorite Deep Purple song. I love the riff Ritchie plays on the outro to his solo. Hey Doug: How about a reaction to "Mistreated?"
One of the best things about this version of the band was the dual baritone/tenor vocal attack of David Coverdale and bassist Glenn Hughes. Those two together made an effective vocal tag team, and it was quite a change from the metallic assault of Ian Gillan.
I've seen DP, twice. Neither time with Blackmore. Steve Morse on guitar. The first time, Jon Lord was still with us. Not the second. Still, both incredible shows !
@@lazybrollers6367 There's an interview here on YT somewhere with Jon Lord in which he mentions that he thought "You Keep on Moving" would have been the one song from that era that IG could sing. For my money -- YMMV -- they had a big enough catalog that they didn't need to dip into the other eras (beyond "Hush", of course), but I wouldn't have minded hearing him tackle "Soldier of Fortune." Oddly, I thought JLT did a nice job onstage with the band, and having "Burn" as the opener way back in '91 was quite a treat.
Glenn Hughes is a fantastic vocalist. I had a chat with him after one of his shows in Bristol, UK. He is a fantastic guy. Doug should definitely take a listen to some of his solo music. Soul Mover is a great album to start with. He has also done some great stuff with the band Black Country Communion.
THANK YOU to ALL of the members of Deep Purple, as it was an honor to have grown up with your music since '68. And Thank You, Mr. Doug for discovering all of these bands for your own enjoyment and introducing a lot of young people to it.
The second vocalist was Glenn Hughes. I would argue that Hughes was co-lead with David Coverdale. There are few songs from the Coverdale/Hughes version of the band, where the two didn't go back and fourth on lead vocals. Coincidentally, I listened to Live in London (recorded May 1974) at the gym today.
2:03 EXCUSEE MEEEE!?!?!?!? The entire albums of Burn and Stormbringer are AMAZING. Sure nothing beats the Mark II lineup that doesn’t mean that this era wasnt great
Thank you. I was about to go on a rant. Burn and Stormbringer were great. Come and Taste the Band was very good but it should have never been called Deep Purple. As David Cloverdale said the record company wouldn't allow them to change the name.
Glenn Hughes celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Deep Purple Mk III's formation & release of "Burn" by touring throughout 2023-4, and I was fortunate to see him perform his Mk III set 5 times, including on the Monsters of Rock Cruise. For most of rock vocalists who rose to prominence in the '70s & '80s, including David Coverdale, their best days have long since passed, but Glenn is still able to sing with the same phenomenal range & authority as he did back in the day. "The Voice of Rock," indeed!
Especially after he absolutely abused himself with the substances. He talked a little bit about that here in Dallas, and his show was among the best I've seen in decades. I'm a brave survivor of the 1986 Black Sabbath show, and the difference was amazing.
The three albums with Hughes and Coverdale are easily my three favorite albums by Deep Purple. I love some of the other stuff too, but this is the era I always go to.
A stunning release from this brilliant band, yes the organ work is great but what a solo too from Blackmore, with the whole group on form and so tight as the drums, bass and vocal propel it to another level.
Amazing song. I remember when it just came out, I was 13, bought the LP without ever having listened to any of it. Went home, put it on the stereo. Burn! I was completely blown away.
A great example of the best mid-70's hard rock. The entire album is actually a great example of mid'70's hard rock. Ian Paice is INSANE here, especially on the title track - check out the his full leading into the guitar solo.
Everything about this album was amazing, I was captivated by the cover art and the burning candles, and all the songs just carried you along. And I was 10 years old when this came out. So glad I grew up in the 1970s.
The recurring riff on this is just incredible, love Jon's solo too. Looks like this had an instant impact Doug. You need to do a reaction to Mistreated too.
Such a classic...a full tilt epic drum and vocal and organ and guitar extravaganza. For a super fun time, check out the drum cover that Yoyoka made...and to take that up another notch, there is also a video of Ian Paice himself reacting to Yoyoka's drum cover of this. LOL
This is my favorite Deep Purple album and got to see them do several songs from the album at California Jam 1 in April of 1974, when I was 17. It may or may not have a role in my liking of this album lol. I can listen to this album front to back, every song. Great, great album and song.
the entire album is quite cool with the long time classic triangle Paice/bBackmore/Lord. My favourite song of the album is final track: A 200 wich is a little bit psychedelic. I don't know were gershwin is in Burn, but when I hear this song, that the main guitar riff here seems to me as a variation of the Smoke On The Water-riff.
Gotta say, i love this lineup. Coverdale is a great vocalist and i'm a big fan of Glenn Hughes. Add Blackmore, Lord and Paice, and what is not to like?
See this totally taking flight at the legendary California Jam 1974. That concert had not only Deep Purple but also Black Sabbath and ELP, amongst others, in a great all day event in front of 250,000 crazy fans. Also from Deep Purple that day, do You Fool No One, it opens with a great Jon Lord organ solo and ends with one of Ritchie Blackmore's greatest guitar solos, the crowd is spellbound as he blasts incredible notes into the cosmos. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥
Great video as always Doug! We need to hear some Mastodon and Primus!! (Also, some more Pantera would be great! Try the song Floods or Mouth for War) I don't know how you've come this far and not reacted to either lol. Mastodon - Seabeast Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Jerry Was a Race Car Driver I will scream this on all your videos from now on until I see them happen xD
Amazing song Really heavy rock having all the spirit and energy lyrical and musical to inspire the next generation of heavy metal a decade later!! Ian Paice shines on thundering drumming and amazing musicianship in general
Doug, as always it's a pleasure to watch your latest video. Especially since this track is one of my favorites from Deep Purple. P.S. I hope you're doing well, because you look a little tired in this video. Take care!
This song is insane from any perspective you want to approach it and that entire album is a masterpiece. DP had already had a quantum leap when moving from Mk I to Mk II, which will forever be the 'classic' lineup, no question about that, but when Mk II broke up, it was a mistery to see the direction the band would take. They had already touched heaven, so to speak, along the previous three years, so to release new material that were up to that standard was really complicated. But they did it, boy, did they do it. The main challenge was on vocals because Gillan was already a superstar (pun intended ;-)), whereas Coverdale was only known on a very local base, so for him it was kind of accelerating from 0 to 100 just in a few seconds. But Coverdale was up to the challenge. And the additional novelty was to have Glen Hughes, who was much more of a professional musician already, as a co-vocalist and bass player. In this song and, in general, in Burn, Stormbringer or Come Taste the Band these two guys pasted wonderfully together. As for the instrumental part, well, what can we say... Both Blackmore and Lord are playing at their finest here: power, virtuosity, taste, balance... their respective solos and Blackmore's riff remain unsurpassed up to to this day. And then there was Paice, Mr Ian Paice. Many people, when referring to their favourite drum players, mention august names... Bonzo, Peart, McBrain, Portnoy... No question they are all superb musicians. But, for the life of me, I cannot understand why Ian Paice continues to be such an underrated drum player. Perhaps it is his personality, so down to earth, no fuss about what he does... I don't know... but, man, if all his previous recordings with DP were not enough, listen to what he does in this song: it is a f*****g masterclass of how to play drums from start to finish. Blackmore's riff is fantastic, but, for me, what really defines this song is the drums, it is unleashed energy. So, great choice for analysis. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed - and very unusual in the way he does fills in the verses.

@@andrewplumb6544 Sina Drums does a great job too and Ian liked her drumming as well.

That’s incredible! All the best to you.
Just an incredible song. Ian Paice's drumming is off the charts.
One of the best hard rock songs of all time. I never get tired of that awesome riff.
This album is among the top three Deep Purple albums. Not only this song, the whole album is a masterpiece.
Top four (In Rock, Fireball & Machine Head are Tier 1 too)
Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band are far and away the best Purple albums of the 60s and 70s.
Only Perfect Strangers, The Battle Rages On and Purpendicular can compete from the reunion era, even those three can’t take of the Coverdale Hughes era!
Burn is the right word for Ian Paice on this song. He was on fire for sure!
You know we have no TIIIIMMMMEEEE 🎉. Glenn Hughes backing vocals are fire.
RIP Jon Lord.
Is not backing they were 2 lead singers in this era.
@@rimmersbryggeri I stand corrected. 👌

I agree. My favourite band is much less well known...Van Der Graaf Generator, and the drummer Guy Evans is superb.
Totally agree that Ian is the greatest drummer.

It's not easy to play like that and make it sound natural. He has a very musical approach to the songs.
Mark 3 line up songs also worth exploring: "Mistreated", "Stormbringer", "Sail Away", & "Soldier of Fortune".
Fantastic tunes all. Stormbringer and Soldier of Fortune are personal favourites.
First two albums I ever purchased at 14 years old. 65 now😅. Timeless.

the Gershwin song, Ritchie refers to is , the riff is from - Fascinating Rhythm" from 1924, hundred yrs ago owow
As long as Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice were in Deep Purple, the band was rocking. They could blow any band off the stage.
And Roger Glover😄
Jon Lord is one of the all time masters of the Hammond! Himself, Keith Emerson, and Rick Wakefield!
Ian Paice Ian Paice Ian Paice!!!
As a guitar player, I love the drums on this song
As a drummer, I love it for sure! 😊
Ian Paice is amazing overall, but some songs (like this one or Flight of the Rat, for example) are just extraordinary.

You can hear a ton of what Rainbow was going to sound like in this song. Great energy
Yeah, no surprise Ritchie wanted a 'Burn'-like set-opener when they came up with 'Kill The King'
Its MOTSM sped up!

This is a spin of Classic Baroque music projected to modern time and Baroque will always rule.
My favourite Deep Purple song by far. Can't believe it's not played more.
Go see Glenn Hughes if he pops up in your area, as he and his band are really doing justice to the material from the Mark III/IV eras.

The three albums with Hughes and Coverdale are easily my three favorite albums by Deep Purple. I love some of the other stuff too, but this is the era I always go to.
Ian Paice practically, soloing throughout the song, even during vocal passages!
This and LAZY are my favorites by this great group.
George gershwin - Fascinating Rhythm, and other singer glenn hughes.
John Lord, Lord of the organ
A stunning release from this brilliant band, yes the organ work is great but what a solo too from Blackmore, with the whole group on form and so tight as the drums, bass and vocal propel it to another level.
Amazing song. I remember when it just came out, I was 13, bought the LP without ever having listened to any of it. Went home, put it on the stereo. Burn! I was completely blown away.
This lineup of the band had a fire and funk feel to them! Definitely check out the title track on the follow up album "STORMBRINGER"!
A great example of the best mid-70's hard rock. The entire album is actually a great example of mid'70's hard rock. Ian Paice is INSANE here, especially on the title track - check out the his full leading into the guitar solo.
This what happens when true musicians perform. Ian Paice is a monster on this one.
After "Lazy," this is my favorite DP song. It's Smoke on the Water--on steroids.
finally someone mentioning Lazy as thier favv DP song. hi5 for that mate!!
@@lorinctelkes1046the solo on Lazy is God Tier.
Six minutes of perfection. Everyone at their absolute A game. My favourite Deep Purple song.
It never seems like Burn actually lasts that long, which the sign of a great song. It doesn't overstay it's welcome.
Mine too! 😎
The version from the album "Live in Europe" is even heavier and, in my opinion, THE version of this great song. I recommend reviewing that version!

I saw Whitesnake live in 2008 or so, and they played this in the encore. The keyboard player struggled so hard.

Ritchie Blackmore is blazing on this one. He was pulling riffs out of nowhere back then.
Gotta say, i love this lineup. Coverdale is a great vocalist and i'm a big fan of Glenn Hughes. Add Blackmore, Lord and Paice, and what is not to like?
Friendly reminder-You also heard David Coverdale during a Doug on Demand where we listened to Coverdale/Page (Whisper a Prayer for the Dying).
It's my all-time favorite song. Great band.
See this totally taking flight at the legendary California Jam 1974. That concert had not only Deep Purple but also Black Sabbath and ELP, amongst others, in a great all day event in front of 250,000 crazy fans. Also from Deep Purple that day, do You Fool No One, it opens with a great Jon Lord organ solo and ends with one of Ritchie Blackmore's greatest guitar solos, the crowd is spellbound as he blasts incredible notes into the cosmos. Enjoy!

Love that song! The 1974 live version is incredible.
I almost never enjoy the "Coverdale era' from: Deep Purple
...however: this blistering, rhythm-monster is a clear exception.
🤘🔥🤘
Glen Hughes was the "highest note singer" in that song and sung the bridge too.
You have to hear bassist Glen Hughes vocal on the live made in Europe version. Wow.
You Fool No One on it might be Ritchie Blackmore's finest solo.
My joint favourite DP song with highway star.
Long time due! Thanks!
I still remember the Circus Magazine cover when this album was released "Deep Purple Rises From The Ashes".
LOVE Jon Lord. He is one of my keyboard heroes
good version on you tube Jon Lord tribute concert Glenn Hughes singing backed by an Orchestra at the Royal albert Hall
Easily my favourite Deep Purple song, it has everything.
My favorite song and album by Deep Purple. Absolute masterpiece!!
Great video as always Doug!
We need to hear some Mastodon and Primus!! (Also, some more Pantera would be great! Try the song Floods or Mouth for War)
I don't know how you've come this far and not reacted to either lol.
Mastodon - Seabeast
Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
I will scream this on all your videos from now on until I see them happen xD
Un de mes albums préféré de Deep Purple, un classique..
F’in tremendous song and album.
Amazing song
Really heavy rock having all the spirit and energy lyrical and musical to inspire the next generation of heavy metal a decade later!!
Ian Paice shines on thundering drumming and amazing musicianship in general
Loved this song when it first came out and still love it to this day. Thanks Doug!
Glenn Hughes also on vocals. One of the greatest rock singers.
Jon Lord is playing 2 ARP Odyssey synths, with his fabulous Hammond Organ.
It has a Fascinating Rhythm, but it is by far the best Deep Purple song ever!
This is fire…. What a musicianship… wow🙏🏻🤟🤟🙏🏻
Doug, as always it's a pleasure to watch your latest video. Especially since this track is one of my favorites from Deep Purple.
P.S. I hope you're doing well, because you look a little tired in this video. Take care!
This song is insane from any perspective you want to approach it and that entire album is a masterpiece.
DP had already had a quantum leap when moving from Mk I to Mk II, which will forever be the 'classic' lineup, no question about that, but when Mk II broke up, it was a mistery to see the direction the band would take. They had already touched heaven, so to speak, along the previous three years, so to release new material that were up to that standard was really complicated. But they did it, boy, did they do it.
The main challenge was on vocals because Gillan was already a superstar (pun intended ;-)), whereas Coverdale was only known on a very local base, so for him it was kind of accelerating from 0 to 100 just in a few seconds. But Coverdale was up to the challenge. And the additional novelty was to have Glen Hughes, who was much more of a professional musician already, as a co-vocalist and bass player. In this song and, in general, in Burn, Stormbringer or Come Taste the Band these two guys pasted wonderfully together.
As for the instrumental part, well, what can we say... Both Blackmore and Lord are playing at their finest here: power, virtuosity, taste, balance... their respective solos and Blackmore's riff remain unsurpassed up to to this day.
And then there was Paice, Mr Ian Paice. Many people, when referring to their favourite drum players, mention august names... Bonzo, Peart, McBrain, Portnoy... No question they are all superb musicians. But, for the life of me, I cannot understand why Ian Paice continues to be such an underrated drum player. Perhaps it is his personality, so down to earth, no fuss about what he does... I don't know... but, man, if all his previous recordings with DP were not enough, listen to what he does in this song: it is a f*****g masterclass of how to play drums from start to finish. Blackmore's riff is fantastic, but, for me, what really defines this song is the drums, it is unleashed energy.
So, great choice for analysis. Thanks for sharing!
Probably my favourite hard rock classic of all time. Actually covered this in a band when I was 17!
