Antony and the Johnsons zijn geniaal. Een eerdere post van Koen waarin je al een paar nummers van hun laatste cd hebt kunnen horen, bevestigt dat alleen maar. In het kader van het Holland Festival , zullen Antony and the Johnsons op 22 juni samen met het Metropool Orekest een uniek optreden verzorgen in Carré. De organisatoren hebben hun uiterste best moeten doen om Antony and the Johnsons naar Amsterdam te krijgen, want ook Eindhoven heeft er hard aan getrokken. Eindhoven de gekste? Ik dacht het niet! Eindhoven, [...]

Pocas bandas pueden presumir de haber trascendido tras la salida de miembros clave de su alineación como es el caso de Deep Purple , quienes en los 70 editaron LPs de abolengo como Machine Head e In Rock . Luego de esa gran época, elementos como el bajista Roger Glover y principalmente su frontman Ian Gillan , dejaron al conjunto inglés. Tras estos hechos, Ritchie Blackmore , mandamás de la bola de fuego púrpura, reclutó al entonces desconocido vocalista David Coverdale y a Glenn Hughes al bajo, quien [...]

A pochi giorni dalla notizia della chiusura per fallimento dell"Hard Rock Park nel South Carolina (ce ne faremo una ragione), approfittiamo per segnalarvi un'altra classifica di quelle che fanno per forza discutere, un po' come quella sulla migliore voce del rock . Così dopo aver visto le precedenti stilate da VH1 sui migliori video pop e video rock dell'anno appena passato, vi segnaliamo la loro carrellata delle migliori canzoni Hard Rock della storia. Come sempre queste classifiche sono molto opinabili e soggettive; personalmente la top ten [...]
I've always loved "Burn" by Deep Purple - the track just takes off and never lets go. Glenn Hughes sings the bejeezus out of it, and Blackmore's guitar is on fire. Here's the 'official' California Jam clip of the band performing this stellar song. Maybe this song is about witches - I dunno, I never paid much attention to the words. But today, I'm hearing them - "People are saying the woman is damned, she makes you Burn with a wave of her hand."
Filed under: News Spinner.com : Although Metallica have tour dates lined up until the end of July, drummer Lars Ulrich is already thinking about an extra-curricular assignment. Ulrich has offered up his services should the members of Deep Purple's third incarnation move forward... Read more

Considering "Smoke on the Water" is the first song every child learns on guitar, everyone should be familiar with legendary classic rock band, Deep Purple . If you're not, then you'll just have to ask their folks. Back in the '70s, this English act was all the talk. There wasn't a muscle car in the high school parking lot not blaring "Highway Star", and most bars nationwide were consistently turning up "Space Truckin'" on every jukebox. So, what's the point? Point is, the ol' band might get back together [...]
Lars Ulrich has offered his services to Deep Purple , should they wish to reform: "I know there's talk about the fact that if they got Coverdale, Hughes, Lord and Blackmore together, they would have four members who aren't in the current DEEP PURPLE — then they just need a drummer. I'll volunteer myself for that," Lars laughed. "If they need a drummer, David Coverdale has my number." Lars, sweetheart, Coverdale threw away that napkin as soon as you left the restaurant. Oh, sure, he might pretend he lost it later - "I tried to [...]

Here at the Ripple , we're open to all sorts of music. In fact sometimes, we welcome the odd, the bizarre, the not quite-operating on all cylinders, because we relish the creativity those twisted geniuses bring to their muse. Case in point: Cirith Ungol . Freakishly surreal epic fantasy metal, more indebted to the then raging NWOBHM scene than people give them credit for, Cirith Ungol were an anomaly in the LA metal scene. In 1980 they released this minimally produced spasm of wild, where-are-they-going-next metal on their [...]

In case you've been living on some other distant planet, you know that in every shop you go there's at least one record in the 'must have' section that involved Ritchie Blackmore. Whether it's from Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore's night or any other project he's been involved in, you know it's a work of art. Still, you have to admit, the man's taste for music has changed considerably along the years. Starting with hard rock legend Deep Purple... it was gold !! The intro to Smoke on the water, you know?? It's mind blowing, just amazing. But then, [...]

I want to begin this article by thanking the myriad of bloggers who have been tirelessly uncovering the lost psych and prog bands from yesteryear. I've spent countless hours digging through the tunes and bios of unsung musicians that plyed their wares during the heyday of the genre in the late 1960s to mid-1970s. Over the past few years these bloggers have introduced me to literally hundreds of artists from around the globe who, in the face of giants like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Hendrix, et al, have all but disappeared into the ether. The quality of the music runs [...]

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Musicians are notorious for taking this old adage to heart, liberally "borrowing" (either intentionally or subconsciously) chords, melodies and/or lyrics from each other. Some say that it's, in fact, the essence of all forms of music, especially modern popular music. This is certainly the case with folk and blues idioms. Bob Dylan, and he'd be the first to admit it, wouldn't be the caliber artist he is without riffing on other songwriters. Sometimes this musical flattery is taken in stride, while other times it's repaid with a big fat [...]

La noche del verano de 1969 en que Jon Lord y Ritchie Blackmore asistieron a un concierto de la banda de beat y rock psicodélico Episode Six , flotaba en el ambiente una extraña sensación de cambio. Episode Six conocía de antemano la presencia de los dos miembros de Deep Purple entre el público, y habían escuchado rumores sobre la intención de los de Hertfordshire de hacerse [...]
It is the 25th anniversary of the Summer of 1973. I was 10-years old during that particular summer. I have a 10-year old of my own today. He's sometimes sweet, often petulant, always inquisitive. In short, he's a lot like his father. I've been thinking a lot about that summer over the past several months, how much the music will always be a soundtrack to that time. I was going to write a week long series of posts about my summer as a 10-year old, riding our banana-seated bikes around the lake where we [...]
