So the new album is coming out in july! I have preordered the Picture disc Double vinyl and the cd!
Can't bloody wait!
Here's a nice little interview from PLANET ROCK RADIO with Ian Gillan! This is only a small edited part but it's still pretty good!
-
Stoked for this one!
-
Video coming tomorrow!!!
Sounding GREAT!
-
Good teaser - laughed at Ian standing there with arms akimbo, seemingly about to belt out some vocals, and the clip ends...total silence :)
-
HERE IT IS!!
ARROGANT BOY!!
Now this is fast and furious! Fastest track they've ever done maybe?
Either way sounds AWESOME!
-
People were happy to purchase entire albums just to get one good song. They would bitch, but do it anyway.
This song is good enough to fill that role, should the remainder of their new album blow slimy chunks.
I don't think it's the fastest tune they've ever done, but I can't think of the others at the moment ;) I suspect our resident DP expert will have the goods.

My DJ software says it's 81.5 bpm, but when I play it and count out the 1-2-3-4, it's actually twice that, 163bpm. Which is right where 7 and 7 Is from Turning to Crime clocks in at. In fact, I can crossfade between the two songs perfectly, that's quite awesome. But they are virtually the same speed. Burn is 188-196 bpm because the band's got different time signatures in different sections and Paice is steady on switching between the two. Blackmore also does a galloping guitar during his solo on that one. '69 is 162bpm, so with a little nudge it can crossfade with this tune and 7 and 7 Is.
Cascades is 160 bpm, so I'm seeing something of a ceiling for Mr. Paice in his autumnal years. He's not playing Burn no more. But that one does seem to be the fastest DP track.
-
So it's the second fastest Purple track based on science! Well there ya go!
The more I listen to the song the more I like it! If the rest of the album is this good...oh my...we have the Album of the year locked in!
-
The track is a banger! Simon is such a phenomenal player and much prefer his playing over Morse.
I know the heavy keys are part of their signature sound but I wish they mute Don occasionally. Those keyboards just don’t do it for me these days.
-
New tune
DIABLO!!
I'm getting strong Purpendicular / Abandon vibes out of this one!
Another AWESOME tune!
-
Keith Urban on guest guitar on this track. It certainly has a Purp/Ab opening track kind of vibe and Big Ian has fun with some vocal variety towards the end. :)
-
Another new song out!!
GUILT TRIPPIN'
This might be my favourite so far! Ian goes nuts with his vocals and Don's Jazzy piano solo in the middle is ace!
-
These songs all sound fresh even as they cling to that unmistakable DP sound. Those guys definitely aren't relying on their reputation to move product by putting out mediocrity, it's obvious their give-a-shiiter ain't broke.
-
I agree!
Oh and I just got an email saying my SPLAT is on it's way!!! WOOHOO!! With any luck I might get it before the release date!
-
ooooh this will be a good album
-
He hey!!

Nice!
I was thinking about this the other day, and one of the things that makes this so cool to me is that it provides a certain amount of continuity in my life - like, I'm sort of still a kid because Deep Purple was there making world class rock music when I was young, and is still doing it.
-
It's an amazing album, as well. I woke up with "My New Movie" in my head, very nice. Lots of catchy riffs and memorable songs, I plan to play the heck out of it.
-
Played through it twice and the only slightly weaker song is The Beating Of Wings which doesn't really go anywhere...the rest are bangers for sure! The bass intro to Splat is brilliant!
-
The Beating of Wings is one that grows on me more and more as I listen to the album. The chorus gets me in a way that Our Lady does, uplifting and hopeful after the bluesy verses.
-
Here's a nice little video of IAN talking about the lyrical ideas behind the songs on SPLAT!
Very cool stuff here....I could listen to Ian ramble on for hours.
