Deep Purple est un groupe de hard rock/heavy
metal formé en 1968. Il est (actuellement) composé de
Ian Gillan au chant, Steeve Morse à la guitare, Roger Glover
à la basse, Ian Paice à la batterie et Don Airey aux
claviers.
En plus d'être un poid lourd et un
précurseur du genre, Deep Purple à également
signé un des hymnes du hard rock : Smoke on the Water.
Le titre ne vous dit rien? Ecoutez, et, si vous
êtes un minimum cultivé musicalement (la base), vous
allez reconnaitre cette mélodie mythique juste après
la petite intro d'une trentaine de secondes.
Lyrics :
We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
