Deep Purple - Which Songs?

[RockstarLeo]

Ok, so I see a lot of threads for bands I'd love to see on Rock Band, but what about Deep Purple. Anything else than Highway Star you think should be in the game?

Vote for your favorite songs and/or express your opinion here!

[longhornz33]

I would think you would have to have Smoke on the Water. Thats the only thing i can play on a real guitar! :)

[Rock_Starman]

Hush,Perfect Strangers and Woman from Tokyo.

[NX013]

I voted for all of hem, but I especially want child in time, burn, speed king and women from tokyo

[Draw_First_Blood]

Space Truckin' all the way! Smoke on the Water is way to repetitive, I can't see myself actually playing it

[BigMonkE]

I would like to add Picture of Home to that list.

[Redsvetz22]

That would be great for a full album!
But at the rate we're going...:mad:

[WhiffleBallTony]

"Space Truckin'", "Speed King", and "Woman From Tokyo" would be a great pack.

[SovietEngland]

'Hush', 'Smoke on the Water' and 'Space Truckin''.

[a21schizoidman]

I also want Hush and Living Wreck

[m00p]

smoke on the water has to be the easiest song to play on guitar. Ima say no.

[RockstarLeo]

Yeah, I had to put Smoke on the Water in there; not much of a challenge, but everyone knows the song, and that's always a plus.

I would love Pictures of Home as well; definitely one of my favorite songs, even though it's not one of their "hits".

Of course, any Purple would be even better if there were a keyboard controller :rolleyes:

[capndan]

space trucken FTW

[BigMonkE]

I'd want Smoke on the Water, Space Truckin', Speed King, Burn, Demon's Eye, Black Night, Child in Time, and also Pictures of Home, as I mentioned earlier.

[MRGOODDAY]

I want you to Burn!

[shogun290]

Hush, Space Trucking, Woman from Tokyo, and of course, Smoke on the Water.

Remember this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g07AarNDNk

[army_of_me]

Black Night is obviously the best ;)

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Burn
Space Truckin
Fireball

[Limelight]

The lack of Hush on this list is distrubing.

[DSOTM]

im hoping for machine head

[Progged]

Burn (Coverdale owns this song), Perfect Strangers, Knockin at your Back Door, Woman From Tokyo, Hush.


In that order.

[The-Hawk27]

I voted for them all. I would take anything they released since I haven't really heard a Deep Purple song I don't like.

[Schmeal]

I would like to add Picture of Home to that list.

That and Maybe I'm a Leo are my top two :cool:

[Sonofmogh]

Yeah HMX MUST release Machine Head for an album download... otherwise Woman From Tokyo, Hush, Pictures Of Home, Space Truckin', Smoke On The Water.

[dirty_bird32]

all of 'em...

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Smoke on the Water FTW.

[GameRansoM]

I'm hesitant to cast my vote. Don't want to give one song the lead, only to find that another one or two is better suited but had an unfamiliar title.
With that said, I was listening to some D.P. in the car the other night and thinking how great a couple would be for Rock Band!
Smoke on the Water & My Woman From Tokyo would be the obvious picks due to recognizability. They'd be crowd favorites at parties, but... maybe not the most challenging or fun for the experienced band.
Burn would be amazing.
I can only imagine the charting possibilities for drums & guitar. Definitely a solid & complex bassline, and the vocals would be lots of fun as well. Wonder if they'd chart Coverdale AND Hughes... ?
Child in Time would be epic as well, but in a different sort of way. It's one of those long songs, clocking over 10 minutes. Lots of sections where various instruments would be doing little to nothing at all, but they all have their time to shine. Soaring vocals and a GREAT guitar solo!
For any of these, I'm sure the organ/piano could be minimized as was done for Highway Star.

Others on the list have great potential, but these two stood out when I was cranking them in my car just recently.

More Deep Purple, please!

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

All. The more DP the better.

[afterstasis]

i would download most of those, but i also want to cast a vote for "when a blind man cries"... it's a slow burner and may be a bit too chilling for a video game, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX_u0cN0gq0

[goaliejack13]

anything is good for me
machinehead album please?

[onduvalst]

What no kentucky woman? Wheres the love for Deep Purples cover of kentucky woman?

[Kevv...]

Burn would be very fun to play
Space Truckin too
and the mule haha that would be a suicide for drummers

[HyeJinx1984]

Full Album, Machine Head.

[Cormac]

Smoke on the water would be great!

[SolidSp3ctr3]

WE NID MOAR DEEP PRPL! :o
now seriosly, album machine head would be great, but a pack of smoke on the water, burn and other song would be enough for me.
but why some people want child in time? i don't think it would be very playable as vocalists.

[Andreb]

Does anyone here know "Loosen my Strings"? Such a beautiful Deep Purple song, I'd love to see it added as DLC.

[DethBoxx]

Lazy
Maybe I'm a Leo

basically the whole Machine Head album.

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

I voted all of them. I like Deep Purple, but I don't know much from them, and I can never find a good time to listen to them. I just don't feel like it you know?

But I would love some Deep Purple DLC to get me more into them.

If we get Smoke On The Water, it should be in a "First Songs You Ever Learned Pack".

The First Songs That You Ever Learned Pack"
Smoke On The Water By Deep Purple
Iron Man By Black Sabbath
Random AC/DC song.

This could just as easily be a challenge too. These are in no way my favorite songs by these bands, this was just an idea.

Burn would probably be my #1 choice right now.

[Vedicardi]

Black Nighttttttttt

[ScienceakaSyco]

Smoke on the water without a doubt.

I'm going to be honest and say thats the only song I know from that list but the guitar in that song would be amazing. Highway Star on RB1 is amazing but I think that Smoke on The Water would be immense!

[bostonstyxboy]

Definitely Smoke on the Water. Awesome song that would kill in Rock Band.

[vsTerminus]

Seriously??

Did all of you forget about the Purpendicular album??
(Sorry, one guy mentioned Loosen My Strings)

I don't know how you can all forget about "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rcuizmr8zk&fmt=18

Or how about "The Aviator", "A Castle Full of Rascals" or "A Touch Away"?

I would love to see anything from Purpendicular for DLC. Espeially "Sometimes I feel Like Screaming"

[vsTerminus]

Listening to Deep Purple on the way to school today..

I totally forgot about the song "Fortuneteller"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FGZu0v5ts8

So stop requesting Smoke On The Water, and start asking for something good!

[cloned trooper]

Perfect Strangers would be awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cloned trooper]

Smoke on the water without a doubt.

I'm going to be honest and say thats the only song I know from that list but the guitar in that song would be amazing. Highway Star on RB1 is amazing but I think that Smoke on The Water would be immense!

Go to you tube and check out Knocking on your back door and Perfect Strangers

[Pavelent]

Child in Time Anyone!?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDskym_V1GI&feature=related

[Oscar-Rio]

Why isn't Hush on that list? fail.

[LaLimonada]

Lazy would be super awesome.

[Anthracks]

Pictures of Home

[l-o-t]

All of them and Hush.

[franticfish]

Great now we have Space Truckin, hopefully we'll see more Deep Purple in the future. Child in Time is top of my Deep Purple wish list.

[jayou521]

How is Child in Time the fourth lowest? Even less than the 'Other' option?!

[MetalFan999]

all of them!! more Deep Purple

[franticfish]

How is Child in Time the fourth lowest? Even less than the 'Other' option?!

I seriously don't get how 'Woman from Tokyo' gets higher than Child in Time. Smoke on the Water is higher cos' thats every casual Deep Purple fan's favorite song.

[mjlambert1]

Voted for Burn, but would also like to see Pictures of Home.

[DethBoxx]

Smoke on the Water is actually pretty hard on drums.

Great song, but Expert Drums + Expert Vox on that song = very quick fail for me, without more practice

[Potato_Baron3]

chid in time heck yeah

[RockstarLeo]

For those who mentionned tracks from Purpendicular, I did not include them because it's not part of the popular Deep Purple tracks, and only the DP fans would really know the album, so I made a list with some of the classics which would work well for Rock Band in my opinion.

That said, Purpendicular is probably my second favorite album right after Machine Head, and yes, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming is amazing.

[wolfbane]

i would not mind seeing strange kind of woman or ted the mechanic on there, and i would really like to hear someone hit the notes gillan hits on child in time.

[classicrockdude]

Deep Purple FTW

[TheManInBlack]

Under the Gun and The Battle Rages On, would be cool.

Under the Gun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkaE8a10g8o&fmt=18

The Battle Rages On:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cByP999tEXU&fmt=18

[moose39]

Hush, Burn, and Woman from Tokyo.

[cherokeesam]

I'd go for Hush, Burn, Speed King, Stormbringer and Ted the Mechanic.

[l-o-t]

You'd really think we'd have more Deep Purple. Or at least a six pack! Hush, Child in Time(have fun, singers), Strange Kind of Woman, Stormbringer, Woman from Tokyo and the Obligatory Smoke on the water.

[grimblue]

aside from smoke on the water I want Hush

[classicrockdude]

aside from smoke on the water I want Hush

those are the two worst Deep Purple songs. I like smoke on the water, but is nothin compared to Purple songs.

[franticfish]

I've said it before and ill say it again ... we need Child In Time

[ArmsAreLoud]

Space Truckin', Speed King, and Woman From Tokyo would be my ideal three-pack.

[classicrockdude]

I've said it before and ill say it again ... we need Child In Time

Greatest song ever. at least one of them

[franticfish]

Space Truckin', Speed King, and Woman From Tokyo would be my ideal three-pack.
Don't we already have Space Truckin' ?

[classicrockdude]

Space Truckin', Speed King, and Woman From Tokyo would be my ideal three-pack.

We have Space Truckin for DLC

[ArmsAreLoud]

Really? Crap, Wii are missing so many good songs... In that case, switch Space Truckin' with Black Night.

[RMB]

I think that the entire Machine Head album shoud be available for DLC, or a pack featuring the rest of the songs in the album.*

*since two are already available

[FlyGuyLXI]

I chose Smoke on the Water, Woman from Tokyo, Child in Time, Fireball (no love for Fireball :( ) and Black Knight.

Plus Others like:

Hush
Call of the Wild
Chasing Shadows
Demon's Eye

Hell, I like much of them. Finally, a poll I like.

I want their self-titled album, and Machine Head for DLC.

[Steelerfreak1977]

3 pack?

Burn
Bloodsucker
Stormbringer

[cherokeesam]

Don't we already have Space Truckin' ?


Yes, but we didn't when this thread started last year. It's been gradually necroposted over the past few weeks.

[TheHumanTheory]

Lazy and Hush are my other choices

[WhiteManJohnson]

Deep Purple In Rock would be a perfect album for Rock Band.

[scorpionspupil]

Ideally, all of Machine Head

But Smoke on the Water, Hush, and Woman from Tokyo would be perfectly acceptable

[WhiteManJohnson]

Smoke on the Water and Woman from Tokyo are overplayed.

[Bub]

Machine head (full album) DLC

[HeavyHorse]

"Burn", you have no idea how much I want that song to be available ANYwhere. Hell, I'd play it on Rock Revolution if it came down to it. I'd rent it for a month, and play only that song anytime I popped it in (even though it'd be a **** cover). This is how desperate I am for that song!!

..."Hush" wouldn't be bad either...

[Voodoo]

Hush and Lazy.

[classicrockdude]

Smoke on the Water and Woman from Tokyo are overplayed.

yeah they are.

[back_blows]

I'd hate to be a guitar teacher. The riff to Smoke on the Water is usually one of the first things beginners are taught.

[leob5622]

'Woman from Tokyo', 'Hush', and of course 'Smoke on the Water'!

[MikeBB]

As previously mentioned, Hush (Ian Gillian version), Lazy, Black Night, Demon's Eye, Burn. Well, pretty much everything that was mentioned.

These might have been mentioned but I didn't see them,
Flight of the Rat, Into the Fire, Stormbringer, Super Trouper, Rat Bat Blue.

Can't wait till Space Truckin' is released on the Wii.

[moose39]

..."Hush" wouldn't be bad either...

Yes. Burn and Hush would be amazing in Rock Band.

[Nintendofrog]

I would buy every song in the poll, but if I had to pick three, I'd pick Burn, Fireball, and Knockin' At Your Back Door, with the next two choices being Speed King and Black Night.

[Gary Heidnik]

I'd add The Shield to that pack for a psychedelic twist.

[Watch_Me_Xplode]

Burn/Stormbringer would make e very happy. :D

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

All of them.:D

[LegendofRock3021]

All those would be great, it would be awesome to see more Deep Purple.

[classicrockdude]

Entire In Rock full album

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

Child In Time
Smoke On The Water
My Woman From Tokyo
Hush (How could you forget to put this song on the poll?)

[LegendofRock3021]

Child In Time
Smoke On The Water
My Woman From Tokyo
Hush (How could you forget to put this song on the poll?)

One of the reasons I voted for Other. :)

[classicrockdude]

Child in Time would be the greatest song ever in the history of DLC

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

Child in Time would be the greatest song ever in the history of DLC
Especially on guitar. I love the solo in that song.

[classicrockdude]

[jayou521]

Child in Time would be the greatest song ever in the history of DLC
This is true.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

This is true.

not for me but, very close.:D

[jayou521]

not for me but, very close.:D
It would definitely be one of the greatest~

[LegendofRock3021]

It would definitely be one of the greatest~

Yes, "Child in Time" would be one of the best songs if we got it. Others would agree it would be the best, but I think it would be one of the best.

[HeavyHorse]

As much as I love "Burn" (which is a lot), even I have to admit "Child in Time" would be absolutely epic.

[classicrockdude]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned April (http://www.last.fm/music/Deep+Purple/_/April) yet. The best Mark I song.

[jayou521]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned April (http://www.last.fm/music/Deep+Purple/_/April) yet. The best Mark I song.
A shortened version would be best, since it takes 8 minutes or so for the band to really kick in

[WhiteManJohnson]

I would never buy a single Rock Band product ever again if they put up an abridged version of April.

[jayou521]

What would they chart to guitar for those 8 minutes? What about drums? I didn't hear any for the most part...

[HeavyHorse]

"April" is a great song, but would be odd as far as playing it in Rock Band goes (the full 12 minute version). Rather than cutting the "beginning" though, if you cut out between 4:20 - 8:40 it'd work. The 4 minute wait, while awesome to listen to, would bore the Hell out of those wanting to play the game. Its pull-off able though, Deep Purple just has some easier stuff more suitable for Rock Band. I'd buy it in a heart beat either way though.

As far as I'm still concerned though...I really friggin' want "Burn". I'll strangle a fly for that song.

[classicrockdude]

A shortened version would be best, since it takes 8 minutes or so for the band to really kick in

thats what i meant. the shortened version would be about 5 minutes

[cannibalbob]

Pictures of Home would be the best rockband song ever:)

[nerry]

Pictures of Home
April
Burn
Speed King
Black Night
You Fool No One

Please!

[guitarjacked]

The band need a 12 pack based all both Mk II and Mk III lineups.

[RogueSpartan104]

A 12-pack would be awesome as long as it has the songs you mentioned along with Perfect Strangers, Hush, and Strange Kind of Woman.

[AKALink]

No Child in Time?

[tridentgum0]

One of my all-time favorite bands. Anything off of Burn, Deep Purple, or Machine Head is a must, with You Fool No One being my most wanted track.

[LegendofRock3021]

"Speed King" is probably my most wanted song at the moment, it would be awesome to play.

[Quaszar]

Perfect Strangers, Knockin on your Back Door and HUSH

[jayou521]

We still very much need Child in Time.

[TheRollingBones]

I voted for all of them :). I think my most wanted ones are probably Smoke On The Water, Hush, Stormbringer, and Woman From Tokyo.

[CreamCrazy]

Has to be Burn, Woman From Tokyo, Child In Time or Black Night. They would be extremely fun on all instruments, & CIT will be extremely hard for vocalists

[MythicAXL]

Burn. Or Pictures of Home. Or Child in Time...

[Len-lfc]

Smoke on the Water, one of the best songs EVER!

[elitemastersam]

Will we see a Deep Purple track in Rock Band 3, complete with a challenging organ part?

I think we might. Or at least I definitely hope so.

[soup567]

The moar Deep Purple the better!!! MOAR!!!

[guitarjacked]

Will we see a Deep Purple track in Rock Band 3, complete with a challenging organ part?

I was thinking this the other day. It makes perfect sense and I'm surprised more has been said about this around here already.

[toolsinmind]

Will we see a Deep Purple track in Rock Band 3, complete with a challenging organ part?

Yep, Smoke on the Water, we should get Machine Head as a full album DLC

[kangaroo62]

Yep, Smoke on the Water, we should get Machine Head as a full album DLC

We already have 3 out of 7 Machine Head songs, so that wouldn't make very good album DLC.

[toolsinmind]

We already have 3 out of 7 Machine Head songs, so that wouldn't make very good album DLC.

Why not, they released Nevermind in track packs

[SheSaidSheSaid]

I have a compilation CD called "Smoke on the Water & Other Hits" that I love listening to that would all make interesting additions to the library. It starts with "Smoke on the Water" and ends with "Highway Star," between them are:

"Woman From Tokyo" - I actually thought Cheap Trick performed this song, for the longest time /facepalm Catchy, fun, and doesn't sound like it'd be horribly difficult
"Burn" - I probably wouldn't play this one, since it'd be psychotically difficult on gee-tar, which is pretty much all I play. But it would probably sell.
"Child in Time" - I noticed this one was on the poll, but I think it's the one from the CD that wouldn't make a very good addition to the RB library. Much too long. Too many stretches where a chart (or multiple charts) would be blank (and yes, Camera Eye, I have the same thoughts for you)
"Fireball" - If nothing else, it'd add a much craved-for bass solo to the library :p The drum part also sounds pretty complex, though the guitar actually seems comparatively tame
"Stormbringer"
"Never Before"
"Gettin' Tighter" - These all sound like they'd hit that magic spot where they're just hard enough to be fun
"Black Night" - OMG WANT. I love love love this song. I love the swing feel this song has, and while it might be harder than some of the other songs here, I could TOTALLY see myself playing it a gajillion times to get better at it (though those trills in the solo....*sigh*).

[LegendofRock3021]

"Child in Time" next week! Pretty excited about that and really happy to see more Deep Purple. I would still love to see "Flight of the Rat" and "Speed King" at some point. :)

[Backbeat60-62]

More early Deep Purple! The entire "Machine Head" album would be welcome by me.

[LegendofRock3021]

More early Deep Purple! The entire "Machine Head" album would be welcome by me.

The rest of Machine Head would be great, but I'd like to see some more songs from Deep Purple in Rock more. Mostly 2 songs I mentioned above, but I'd most likely buy anything from that album and songs from other albums to spread it out a bit.

[M_Robbins5]

It'd be nice if we could get more than one Deep Purple song for once.
Some I'd like to see.
Black Night
Hush
Burn
Demon's Eye
Speed King
A RB3 of Highway Star would be cool too.
