Outre sa carrière exemplaire au sein du groupe de rock Deep Purple en tant que bassiste, Roger Glover est un producteur émérite. Il sera notamment responsable de quelques succès de Nazareth, Status Quo et Judas Priest. Comme quelques uns de ses compères de Deep Purple, Roger Glover passe par la case carrière solo. Encore une réussite puisqu'en 1974 son projet The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast fait l'unanimité des critiques musicales. Une sorte d'album-concept qui recense une trentaine d'artistes d'horizons différents, parmi [...]
Glenn Hughes HATES cocaine, but he LOOOOOVES the smell of it. Poor guy is playing bass and singing his ass off in a band called Trapeze during the early 1970's when he gets recruited to join Deep fuckin Purple in 1973 and help revitalize the band with vocalist David Coverdale . They create a monster album called Burn and go on to have major success space truckin around the globe. They play an insane show at the California Jam festival that literally set the stage on fire. But behind the scenes, young Glenn develops a taste [...]
question: who should be doing the Super Bowl halftime show instead of Madonna? answer: ELTON JOHN ! why the HELL is Madonna performing at the Super Bowl? that is lame! why not a true rick icon like Eton John? he is a bigger star than that bitch. just about any band would be better than the material girl. better question: why the hell is Madonna in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? what the hell is "rock and Roll' about her? i don't love the chic's music but i can acknowledge that she has [...]
This is not a Ritchie Blackmore tune. Hush was written by Joe South for Billy Joe Royal in 1967, and only the following year Deep Purple recorded the song that became quite a huge hit in the US. Gallic cover king Johnny Hallyday recorded a quite lame French version a few months later, while Montréal-based yé-yé chanteuse Jenny Rock transformed the harmless psych/ bluespop song with the pushy organ into a sexy rollercoaster ride, fast, breathless, and highly energetic – a nice example that some songs simply work better with female vocals. No surprise that Jenny, [...]

Deep Purple make another live album with an orchestra, but this one isn't charmingly flawed-it's just plain flawed. Another year, another Deep Purple live album. It's not nearly as essential as Made in Japan, of course, even if there are some redeeming qualities. Ian Gillan's voice hasn't lost a trick in the 40 years since he took over as Purple's singer. If anything, his vocals are even more powerful than they were during Purple's early-'70s peak. Similarly, the rhythm section of drummer Ian Paice and bassist Roger Glover remains one of the most...
The heaviness pretty much all started for me when I was a young teen, with the earliest Judas Priest that came out in the mid to late 70's. Now that I think about it, they could be one of the reasons why I don't put a lot of focus on vocals in some of my music these days. Since I grew up listening to everything Rob Halford, nearly every other singer pales in comparison anyway. I was...let's say, 'under the influence', when I heard a friend play "Victim of Changes", from their second album, Sad [...]
Deep Purple: Chapter 16. Still rocking after all these years.
Deep Purple: Chapter 13. Joe Lynn Turner replaces Ian Gillian with less than stellar results.
Por Miguel Molina y Vedia El grupo de Los Angeles escuetamente llamado Love, además de ser una de las primeras bandas multirraciales de la historia del rock, también padeció de la yeta del pop barroco. Aunque se iniciaron con un enfoque más rockero, ya desde sus comienzos venían delatando inclinaciones barrocas, como puede escucharse por ejemplo en la magnífica pauta de flauta y clavicordio de She Comes In Colors (tema entre homenajeado y afanado por Madonna en su Beautiful Stranger ), [...]
After getting fairly annoyed / disappointed with the recent series of major label "deluxe reissues" (Nirvana, Pink Floyd, etc.), Deep Purple's The BBC Sessions 1968/70 is a welcome change - along with being a great addition to the band's extensive catalog. It isn't quite fair to call this 2CD set a "deluxe reissue" but about half of these tracks had circulated previously on various compilations and reissues. This is the first time though that ALL of Deep Purple's BBC session that were recorded between 1968 – 1970 have been released in chronological running order. [...]
TV Shows - Full Episode Video - Reality TV Shows My heavy metal DVD shelf was once pretty bare, displaying only The Decline Of Western Civilization and a load of one-view concert films. But just since 2005, it's been sagging under the weight of classy, addictively watchable feature-length documentaries like Heavy Metal In Baghdad, Get [...]
We at MetalSucks have dealt with the paradoxes involved with conducting a poll to determine great guitar players (read our 25 Best Modern Metal Guitarists poll here)! So we get that in a unweighted vote, the top-ranked axemen may just represent those liked by the largest number of voters; i.e. a dude who we agree is [...]
Intense musicianship and cool orchestral arrangements make this a classic rock winner.
