Probably the best guitar riff of all time, can't believe it is over 50 years old.

Songs like that drove me to 80’s metal the radio never stopped playing it and now I hope to die without ever hearing it again

Switzerland became the home of most British rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s due to the confiscatory taxes of post-war British socialists

There’s a Queen museum in Montreaux

I agree..it’s one of the best constructed chord assembly as well as the drum rhythm starts nicking in

This is their best song. Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Think he also played the cello intro.

My favorite on the radio when I was a kid. About a decade later, when I was old enough, I saw DP in concert. They were great live.

I beg to differ.

And, this is *the one riff* (except for maybe stairway to heaven) NOT to play in a guitar store.

Epic. One of the songs I practiced often when I got my Stratocaster at 13 years old. Classic Deep Purple never gets old.

I love the Leningrad Cowboys cover of Smoke on the Water.

Roger Glover’s three-note run into his bassline is one of the most badass moments in all of rock music.
