Deep Purple is a British rock band formed at Hertford in 1968. The band is considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although their music approach changed over the years. Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier voice in 1970. Deep Purple, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, has been referred to as "the unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal from early to mid. seventies ". They registered in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the loudest band in the world" for the 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theater, and have sold over 100 million copies of their albums worldwide.
Deep Purple has had several line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976-1984). The lines 1968-1976 are commonly labeled Mark I, II, III and IV. Their second most commercially successful lineup consists of Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (keyboard, backing vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). The line-up was active from 1969 to 1973, and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again from 1992 to 1993. The band achieved a simpler success in the intervening periods between 1968 and 1969 with line-ups including Rod Evans (lead) vocals) and Nick Simper (bass, backing vocals), between 1974 and 1976 (Tommy Bolin replaced Blackmore in 1975) with line-ups including David Coverdale (lead vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals), and between 1989 and 1992 with line-ups including Joe Lynn Turner (vocals). Line-up bands (currently including Ian Gillan, and guitarist Steve Morse from 1994) have been much more stable in recent years, although keyboardist Jon Lord retired from the band in 2002 (which was replaced by Don Airey) leaving Ian Paice as the only one- the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.
Deep Purple was ranked 22nd on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock program and a poll on British radio station Planet Rock placed them in the fifth rank among the "most influential bands ever". The band received the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards. Deep Purple (especially Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan, Glover, Coverdale, Evans and Hughes) was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Histori
Permulaan (1967-1968)
In 1967, former Searchers drummer Chris Curtis contacted London businessman Tony Edwards, hoping he would manage a new group he composed, to be called the Roundabout. Curtis's vision is a "supergroup" in which band members will come and go, like a music roundabout. Impressed by the plan, Edwards agreed to finance the venture with two of his business partners John Coletta and Ron Hire, comprising Hire-Edwards-Coletta Enterprises (HEC).
The band's first recruitment was a classically trained Hammond organist Jon Lord, Curtis's most famous classmate playing with Artwoods (led by Art Wood, brother of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and including Keef Hartley). Lord later appeared in a support band for The Flower Pot Men vocal group (formerly known as the Ivy League), along with bassist Nick Simper and drummer Carlo Little. Simper was previously at Johnny Kidd and Pirates and survived the 1966 car accident that killed Kidd. God placed the two men on alert that he had been recruited for the Roundabout project, after which Simper and Little suggested guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, whom God had never met. Simper has known Blackmore since the early 1960s when his first band, Renegades, debuted at the same time as Blackmore's early band, Dominator.
HEC persuaded Blackmore to return from Hamburg to audition for the new group. Blackmore made a name for himself as a studio session guitarist, and has also been a member of Outlaws, Screaming Lord Sutch, and Neil Christian. Curtis's erratic behavior and lifestyle, fueled by the use of LSD, caused a sudden disinterest in the project he started, forcing HEC to dismiss him from the Roundabout. But HEC is now interested in the possibility that God and Blackmore take, while Lord and Blackmore also want to continue. The two continued, recruiting additional members and keeping Tony Edwards as their manager. Lord convinces Simper to join for good, but leaves Carlo Little behind him for the drummer Bobby Woodman.
In March 1968, Lord, Blackmore, Simper and Woodman moved to Deeves Hall, a country house in South Mimms, Hertfordshire. The band will live, write and practice at Deeves Hall, which is fully equipped with the latest Marshall amplification. According to Simper, "dozens" of singers were auditioned (including Rod Stewart and Woodman's friend Dave Curtiss) until the group heard Rod Evans from the band The Maze, and thought his voice fit their style. Marking alongside Evans was the drummer of his band, Ian Paice. Blackmore had seen Paice on tour with The Maze in Germany in 1966, and was impressed by the 18-year-old drummer. The band hastily set up auditions for Paice, recalling that Woodman was vocally unhappy with the band's musical direction. Both Paice and Evans won their respective jobs, and the lineup was finished.
During a short tour of Denmark and Sweden in April, where they were still billed as the Roundabout, Blackmore proposed a new name: "Deep Purple", named after his grandmother's favorite song. The group has decided to choose a name after everyone posts one on the board in the exercise. The second to Deep Purple is "Concrete God", which is considered too hard to do by the band.
Early years (1968-1970)
In May 1968, the band moved to Pye Studios at Marble Arch in London to record their debut album,
The band's second album, The Book of Taliesyn , was quickly recorded, then released in North America in October 1968 to coincide with the tour. The album included the Neil Diamond "Kentucky Woman" cover, which broke the Top 40 in the United States (No. 38 on the Billboard chart) and Canada (No. 21 on RPM) chart ), although sales for the album are not as strong (No. 54 in the US, No. 48 in Canada). The Book of Taliesyn will not be released in the band's home country until the following year and, like its predecessor, it fails to have much influence on the UK charts. Early in 1969, the band recorded a single called "Emmaretta", named Emmaretta Marks, then a major player of the Hair music, which Evans tried to seduce. In March of that year, the band had finished recording for their third album, Deep Purple . The album contains strings and woodwind on one song ("April"), featuring classic Lord anteseden such as Bach and Rimsky-Korsakov, and some other influences being evident, especially Vanilla Fudge. (Lord and Blackmore even claimed that the group wanted to be "Vanilla Fudge clone".) This will be the last recording by the original arrangement.
The recording of the troubled North American label Tetragrammaton delayed the production of the Deep Purple album until after the 1969 American band tour ended. This, as well as the lackluster promotions by the labels that were almost damaged, caused the album to sell poorly, finishing well from the Top 100 Billboard. As soon as the third album release finally, Tetragrammaton left the business, leaving the band with no money and time uncertain front. (Asset Tetragrammaton is assumed by Warner Bros. Records, which will release Deep Purple records in the US throughout the 1970s.) During the 1969 American tour, Lord and Blackmore met with Paice to discuss their desire to bring the band in the heavier direction. Feeling that Evans and Simper would not fit into the heavy rock style, both were replaced that summer. Paice stated, "Change must come, and if they do not leave, the band will be completely destroyed." Both Simper and Blackmore note that Rod Evans already has one leg out the door. Simper says that Evans has met a girl in Hollywood and wants to be an actor, while Blackmore explains, "Rod just wants to go to America and live in America."
In search of a replacement vocalist, Blackmore set his own scene on 19-year-old singer Terry Reid. Although he found a "flattering" offer, Reid was still tied up by an exclusive recording contract with his producer Mickie Most and more interested in his solo career. Blackmore had no choice but to look elsewhere. The band hunted singer Ian Gillan from Episode Six, a band that has released several singles in the UK without reaching their big break for commercial success. Gillan was once approached by Nick Simper when Deep Purple was first formed, but Gillan had reported to Simper that the Roundabout project would not go anywhere, while he felt Episode Six was ready to be great. Drummer Six, Mick Underwood - an old friend of Blackmore from his days at Outlaws - introduced the band to Gillan and bassist Roger Glover. It effectively killed Episode Six and gave Underwood a complex guilt that lasted almost a decade, until Gillan recruited him for his new post-Purple band in the late 1970s. According to Blackmore, Deep Purple was only interested in Gillan and not Glover, but Roger was retained at the suggestion of Ian Paice.
This creates a line of Deep Purple Mark II, whose first release is a Greenaway-Cook song entitled "Hallelujah". At the time of recording, Nick Simper still thinks he's in the band, and has called the studio to inquire about the recording date for the song. He later discovers that the song has been recorded with Glover on bass. The remaining original member of Deep Purple then instructed the management to inform Simper that he had been formally replaced.
Despite television appearances to promote a single "Hallelujah" in England, the song failed. Blackmore has told the British weekly English Record Records that they "need to have a commercial record in the UK", and describe the song as "some of it" - the median between what a band would normally make but with a motive additional commercial.
The band gained much needed publicity in September 1969, with Concert for Group and Orchestra, a three-epic movement composed by Lord as a solo project and performed by the band at Royal Albert Hall in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra , organized by Malcolm Arnold. With Nice's Moody Blues and Five Bridges by Nice, it was one of the first collaborations between rock and orchestra. This live album became their first album with all kinds of successful charts in the UK. Gillan and Blackmore were unhappy in the band marked as "the group playing with the orchestra", both of whom felt that Concerto was a distraction that would hinder developing the hard rocking style they wanted. The Lord acknowledged that while the band members were not interested in the incoming project, at the end of the show "you can put five smiles together, and it will stretch the River Thames." God will also write the Gemini Suite, another orchestra/group collaboration in the same tone, for the band in the late 1970s. In 1975, Blackmore stated that he was thinking about Concerto for Group and Orchestra > not bad but Gemini Suite very horrible and very disjointed. Roger Glover later claimed Jon Lord had emerged as the band's leader in his early years.
Breakthrough success (1970-1973)
Shortly after the orchestral release, Deep Purple started a busy tour and recording schedule to see a little pause over the next three years. Their first studio album in this period, released in the mid-1970s, was In Rock (a name supported by the Mount Rushmore-inspired album cover), which contained the staples of the "Speed ​​King" "," Into The Fire "and" Child in Time ". The non-album single "Black Night", released around the same time, eventually put Deep Purple into the Great Britain. The interplay between the Blackmore guitar and Lord's distorted organ, coupled with Gillan's howling vocals and the rhythm section of Glover and Paice, is now beginning to take on the unique identity that separates the band from previous albums. Along with Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II and Sabbath Paranoid , In Stone codified the heavy metal beginner's genre.
On the album's development, Blackmore stated: "I've had enough of playing with a classical orchestra, and thought, 'well, it's my turn.' Jon is becoming more classical.I think, 'well you do that, I'll rock.' And I said, 'If this fails, this note, I will play with the orchestra for the rest of my life.' "In Rock was performing well, especially in England where he reached number 4, while" Black Night "single reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, and the band performed the song live on the BBC Top of the Pops . The second album, progressive progressive Fireball , was released in the summer of 1971, reaching number 1 on the UK Albums Charts. The title song "Fireball" was released as a single, such as "Strange Kind of Woman", not from an album but recorded during the same session (although replaced "Demon's Eye" in the US version of the album). "Strange Kind of Woman" became their second Top 10 UK single, reaching number 8.
Within a few weeks after the release of Fireball , the band had already done the song planned for the next album. One song (later "Highway Star") was performed on the first show of the Fireball tour, which had been written on the bus to a show in Portsmouth, in response to a reporter's question: "How did you go about write a song? "Three months later, in December 1971, the band traveled to Switzerland to record Machine Head . The album is scheduled to be recorded at Montreux Casino, using Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, but fires during Frank Zappa and the mothers of Invention, caused by a man who fired a flare gun to the ceiling, set fire to Casino. This famous incident inspired the song "Smoke on the Water". The album was then recorded in the corridor at the nearby Grand Hotel Grand.
Continuing from where the two previous albums stopped, Machine Head became one of the band's most famous albums. It became the band's second number 1 album in Britain, while re-establishing Deep Purple in North America, reaching number 7 in the US and number 1 in Canada. These include tracks that become classics of life, such as "Highway Star", "Space Truckin", "Lazy" and "Smoke on the Water", the most famous Deep Purple. Deep Purple continues to tour and record at a rare level for thirty years; when Machine Head was recorded, the group was only together for three and a half years, but the album was the sixth.
Meanwhile, the band performed four North American tours in 1972, and a Japanese tour that led to a double-vinyl live release, Made in Japan . Originally intended as a Japanese recording, worldwide releases saw a double LP become an instant hit. It remains one of the most popular and best selling live musical concerts. The classic line of Deep Purple Mark II continued to work, and released the album Who Do We Think We Are in 1973. Raising the hit single "Woman from Tokyo", the album reached number 4 in the UK Diagram and number 15 in the US charts while achieving gold record status faster than the Deep Purple album released until then. But internal tension and fatigue are more visible than ever. Following the success of Machine Head and Made in Japan , the addition of Who Do We Think We Are made Deep Purple the best-selling artist of 1973 in the US. In Japan alone, Machine Head and Made in Japan will sell over 1 million copies combined behind many reissues.
New line-up, success and the struggle (1973-1976)
Gillan acknowledged in 1984 that the band was driven by management to complete the timely album of Who Do We Think We Are and went on tour, though they desperately needed a break. Bad feelings, including the tension with Blackmore, culminated in Gillan, followed by Glover, quit the band after their second tour in Japan in the summer of 1973. In later interviews, God called the departure of Gillan and Glover when the band was at the top of " rock and roll; God knows what we're going to be for the next three or four years. "
The band employs Midlands bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, formerly of Trapeze. According to Paice, Glover told him and God a few months before his official resignation that he wanted to leave the band, so they began to stop at the Trapeze show. After getting Hughes, they argue continuously as four sections, with Hughes as the bassist and main vocalist. According to Hughes, he was convinced that the band would bring Paul Rodgers of Free as a co-lead vocalist, but at the time Rodgers had just started Bad Company. "They did ask," Rodgers recalls, "and I talked to them all about that possibility: Purple has toured Australia with the final lineup of Free.I did not do it because I really like the establishment of Bad Company.". "Instead, an audition was held for a major vocal replacement.They settled in David Coverdale, an unknown singer from Saltburn in Northeast England, mainly because Blackmore liked his masculine, blues-tinged voice.
This new lineup continued until 1974, and their spring tour included shows at Madison Square Garden, New York on March 13, and the Nassau Coliseum four days later. The band celebrates the famous California Jam festival with Emerson, Lake & amp; Palmer at Ontario Motor Speedway located in Southern California on April 6, 1974. Attracting over 250,000 fans, the festival also includes the 1970s rock giants Black Sabbath, Eagles, Earth, Wind & amp; Fire, Seals and Croft, Rare Earth, and also Black Oak Arkansas. Part of the show was broadcast on ABC Television in the US, exposing the band to a wider audience. The first album of this lineup, entitled Burn , was very successful, reaching No. 3 in the UK and No. 9 in the US, and followed by other world tours. The title track, which opened the album and will open most of the concerts during the Mark III era, was a conscious effort by the band to embrace the progressive rock movement popularized at the time by bands like Yes, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant, "Burning" is a complex arrangement that showcases all the members' skills and especially the classic Blackmore guitar skills, while Hughes and Coverdale provide vocal and funk and blues elements, respectively, to music, even clearer voices in late 1974 release. Stormbringer . In addition to the title track, the album Stormbringer has a number of songs that received many radio broadcasts, such as "Lady Double Dealer", "The Gypsy" and "Soldier of Fortune", and the album reached No. 6 in the UK and No. 2. 20 on the US Billboard chart . However, Blackmore openly disliked the funky album and element of the soul, even calling it "shoeshine music". As a result, he left the band on June 21, 1975 to form his own band with Ronnie James Dio of the Elf, called Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, which was later shortened to Rainbow after one album.
With the departure of Blackmore, Purple had to fill one of the biggest vacancies in rock music. Apart from this, the band refused to quit, and announced a replacement: American Tommy Bolin. Before Bolin was recruited, Clem Clempson (Colosseum, Humble Pie), Zal Cleminson (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band), Mick Ronson (David Bowie & The Spider From Mars) and Rory Gallagher were considered.
There are at least two versions of Bolin recruitment: Coverdale claims to have been the one to suggest a Bolin audition. "She walks in, skinny like a rake, her hair is green, yellow and blue with fur in. Swipe beside her is this amazing Hawaiian girl with a crochet dress with nothing beneath it, she stuck four Marshall stacks of 100 watts, and.. His job is his. "But in an interview published by Melody Maker in June 1975, Bolin claimed that he came to the audition following Blackmore's recommendation. Bolin has been a member of many of the forgotten 1960s bands - Denny & amp; The Triumphs, American Standard, and Zephyr, which released three albums from 1969 to 1972. Prior to Deep Purple, Bolin's most famous record was made as a session musician on Billy Cobham's 1973 fusion jazz album Spectrum , and as lead guitarist on two post-Joe Walsh albums James Gang: Bang (1973) and Miami (1974). He was also jammed with figures like Dr. John, Albert King, Mouse, Moxy and Alphonse Mouzon, and was busy working on his first solo album, Teaser , when he accepted an invitation to join. Dark purple.
The resulting album, Ayo Taste the Band , was released in October 1975, one month before Bolin's Teaser album . Despite mixed reviews and sizable sales (# 19 in the UK and # 43 in the US), this collection revitalized the band once again, bringing an extreme new funk tip to their hard rock sound. The influence of Bolin is very important, and with encouragement from Hughes and Coverdale, guitarists develop a lot of album material. Despite Bolin's talent, his personal problems with hard drugs began to manifest themselves. During the 'Ayo Taste the Band' tour, many fans openly flouted Tommy's inability to play solo like Ritchie Blackmore, unaware that Bolin was physically hampered by his addiction. At the same time, as he admits in an interview a few years later, Hughes suffers from cocaine addiction. After some concert performances under par, the band is in danger. Split band and solo project (1976-1984)
The end came on a tour in England on March 15, 1976 at the Liverpool Empire Theater. In the words of Jon Lord:
"At one point during the show, Glenn said to the audience, 'Sorry we did not play very well, but we are very tired and left on the jet.' And I remember talking to myself, 'Speak to yourself.' I work like a Trojan to try and make this work... Paicey plays like crazy just to keep everything together... Coverdale sings his socks So to hear this guy who is very tall on various substances says the audience, 'I'm sorry , We did not play well 'kinda made me feel a bit.I got off the stage and went straight to my dressing room, which I shared with Ian Paice, and I said,' Ian... that's him, "That's the end of the band as far as I know why we're doing this for ourselves?" So he and I shook hands and said, "It's over. Thank God. "About ten minutes later, Coverdale came in, a big windy man, and he said, 'I'm going away from the band!' And we said, 'David, there's no band left. ' "
The breakup was finally published in July 1976, with then manager Rob Cooksey issuing a simple statement: "The band will not be recording or performing together as Deep Purple anymore". Later that year, Bolin just finished recording his second solo album, Personal Eyes , when, on December 4, 1976, tragedy struck. In Miami's hotel room, during the tour supporting Jeff Beck, Bolin was found unconscious by his girlfriend and bandmates. Unable to wake him up, he hurriedly called paramedics, but it was too late. The cause of official death is poisoning some drugs. Bolin is 25 years old.
After the break-up, most members of Deep Purple ago and now work to achieve success in a number of other bands, including Gillan, Whitesnake and Rainbow. However, there are a number of promoter-led efforts to create the band to reform, especially with the revival of the hard rock market in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1980, the touring version of the band appeared alongside Rod Evans as the only member who had been in Deep Purple, eventually ending up with a successful legal action from the legitimate Deep Purple camp over unauthorized use of the name. Evans was ordered to pay damages of US $ 672,000 for using the band name without permission.
Reformation, reunions and turmoil (1984-1994)
In April 1984, eight years after Deep Purple's death, full-scale (and legal) reunions took place with the early 1970s "classics" of Gillan, Lord, Blackmore, Glover and Paice. The reformed band signed deals worldwide with PolyGram, with Mercury Records releasing their albums in the US, and Polydor Records in the UK and other countries. The album Perfect Strangers was recorded in Vermont and released in October 1984. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and number 17 on Billboard 200 in the United States. The album included singles and concert staples "Knockin 'At Your Back Door" and "Perfect Strangers". Perfect Strangers became the second Deep Purple album to reach platinum in the US, following the Machine Head .
The reunion tour followed, starting in Australia and winding around the world to North America, then to Europe the following summer. Financially, the tour was also a tremendous success. In the US, the 1985 tour fouled every other artist except Bruce Springsteen. The British return saw the band perform a concert at Knebworth on June 22, 1985 (with the main support of Scorpions, also on the bill UFO and Meat Loaf), where the weather was bad (heavy rain and 6 inches (15 cm) of mud) in front of 80,000 fans. The show was called "Return of the Knebworth Fayre".
The Mark II line-up then released the 1985 The House of Blue Light , followed by a world tour (disconnected after Blackmore broke his finger on stage while trying to catch his guitar after throwing it in the air) and another live album Nobody's Perfect (1988) taken from several shows on this tour, but mostly based on the well-known settings Made in Japan - list. In the UK a new version of "Hush" (with Gillan on lead vocals) was released to mark the band's 20th anniversary. In 1989 Gillan was fired because his relationship with Blackmore again deteriorated and their musical differences had diverged too far. Originally, the band was intended to recruit vocalist Survivor Jimi Jamison as Gillan's successor, but this failed due to complications with Jamison's record label. Finally, after auditing several high-profile candidates, including Brian Howe (White Spirit, Ted Nugent, Bad Company), Doug Pinnick (King's X), Australian Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel) and John Farnham (Little River Band), Terry Brock (Strangeways , Giant) and Norman "Kal" Swan (Tytan, Lion, Bad Moon Rising), former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner was recruited into the band. This Mark V line-up recorded only one album,
With a complete tour, Turner was forced out, as Lord, Paice and Glover (and the record company) wanted Gillan back in the crease for his 25th birthday. Blackmore reluctantly relented, after asking and finally receiving 250,000 dollars in his bank account and line-up classic recorded The Battle Rages On... . However, Gillan reworked many of the existing material that had been written with Turner for the album. As a result, Blackmore becomes angry at what he considers non-melodic elements. During a successful European tour, Blackmore walked out in 1993, for good, after a show on November 17 in Helsinki, Finland. Joe Satriani was designed to finish the Japanese date in December and stay for the Summer Tour of Europe in 1994. He was asked to join permanently, but his commitment to his contract with Epic Records prevented this. The band unanimously chose Dixie Dregs/Kansas guitarist Steve Morse to become Satriani's successor.
Awakening with Steve Morse and a longer tour (1994-present )
Morse's arrival revitalized the band creatively, and in 1996 a new album titled Purpendicular was released, showing a wide variety of musical styles, though never charting success on the Billboard 200 in the US. Mark VII line-up then released a new live album Live at The Olympia '96 in 1997. With a revamped set list for the tour, Deep Purple enjoyed a successful tour throughout the rest of the 1990s, louder Ignore in 1998, and a tour with renewed enthusiasm. In 1999, Lord, with the help of a Dutch fan, who is also a musician and composer, Marco de Goeij, painstakingly re-created the Concerto for Group and Orchestra, the original score has been lost. It was once again done at the Royal Albert Hall in September 1999, this time with the London Symphony Orchestra organized by Paul Mann. The concert also included songs from each member's solo career, as well as a short Deep Purple set, and the event was commemorated on the 2000 album In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra . 2001 saw the release of the Soundboard Series box set, which included concerts from the 2001 Australia Tour plus two from Tokyo, Japan.
Many of the next few years are spent on road tours. Most of the songs played in their live concert consisted of classic material of the 1970s. The group continued to advance until 2002, when the founding members of God (who, together with Paice, were the only members present in all band incarnations) announced the peaceful resignation of the band to pursue personal projects (especially orchestral works). Lord left his Hammond organ to replace him, veteran of rock keyboard Don Airey (Colosseum II, Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake), who had helped Deep Purple when Lord's knee was injured in 2001. In 2003, Deep Purple released an album the first studio in five years ( Banana ) and started the tour to support the album. EMI Records refused a contract extension with Deep Purple, probably because sales were lower than expected. Actually In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra sold more than Banana . In July 2005, the band played at Live 8 concerts at Park Place (Barrie, Ontario) and, in October released their next album, Rapture of the Deep, followed by Rapture of the Deep tour. The two studio albums Mark VIII was produced by Michael Bradford.
In February 2007, Gillan asked fans not to buy Come Hell or High Water live album released by Sony BMG. This is a recording of their performance in 1993 at NEC in Birmingham, England. The recording of this event had previously been released without help from Gillan or other members of the band, but he said: "This is one of the lowest points in my life - all our lives, actually". In 2009, Ian Gillan said, "Recording sales have steadily declined, but people are ready to pay a lot for concert tickets." In addition, Gillan stated, "I do not think happiness comes with money." In 2011, Deep Purple toured a concert in 48 countries. The songs that Rock Tour Built use the 38-piece orchestra, and include a performance at the London O2 Arena. Until May 2011, the band members did not agree on whether to make a new studio album, because it will not really make any more money. Roger Glover stated that Deep Purple should make a new studio album "even if it's spending our money."
In early 2011, David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes told VH1 that they wanted to reunite with former Deep Purple line Mark III for the right occasion, such as a charity concert. The band's chief technician currently on his nine-year tour, Moray McMillin, died in September 2011, aged 57.
After many songwriting sessions in Europe, Deep Purple decided to record through the summer of 2012, and the band announced the release of their new studio album in 2013. Steve Morse announced to the French magazine Rock Hard that the new studio album will be produced by the highly respected Bob Ezrin, known for his work with Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Pink Floyd. On July 16, 2012, founding member of the band and former organist, Jon Lord, died in London, aged 71 years. In December 2012, Roger Glover stated that the band has completed work on 14 tracks for a new studio album, with 11 or 12 songs set to appear on the last album to be released in 2013. On February 26, 2013, the title of the eleventh studio album the band's twelve announced as Now What ?! , which was recorded and mixed in Nashville, Tennessee, and released on April 26, 2013.
On November 25, 2016, Deep Purple announced Infinite as the title of their twentieth studio album, released on April 7, 2017. In support for the album, Deep Purple started on May 13, 2017 in Bucharest, Romania at The Long Goodbye Tour. At the time of the December 2016 tour announcement, Paice told the Heavyworlds website that "might be the last big tour", adding that the band "do not know". He described the tour as a long duration, and said: "We have not made a quick and difficult plan, but it becomes clear that you can not tour the same way you were when you were 21. It's getting harder, "On February 3, 2017, Deep Purple released the video version of" Time for Bedlam ", the first song taken from the new album and the first new Deep Purple song for nearly four year.

Legacy
Deep Purple is cited as one of the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The group has influenced a number of rock and metal bands including Metallica, Judas Priest, Queen, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Alice in Chains, Pantera, Bon Jovi, Europe, Rush, Motörhead, and many new waves of British heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden , and Def Leppard. Bassist and lead singer Iron Maiden, Steve Harris, stated that the band's "heavy" was inspired by "Black Sabbath and Deep Purple with a bit of Zeppelin cast."
In 2000, Deep Purple was ranked 22nd in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" program. At the 2008 World Music Awards, the band received the Legend Award. In 2011, they received the Innovator Award at the 2011 London Classical Rock Prize. Rolling Stone readers' poll in 2012 puts Made in Japan as the sixth best live album of all time. As part of the 40th birthday celebration of Machine Head (1972), Re-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head was released on September 25, 2012. The tribute album included artists such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, The Flaming Lips, Black Label Society, Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, Chickenfoot (composed of former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers) and supergroup King of Chaos (Def Leppard lead vocalist Joe Elliott, Steve Stevens, and former members of Guns N 'Roses Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum).
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Prior to October 2012, Deep Purple was never nominated to be induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (although they have been eligible since 1993), but was nominated for induction in 2012 and 2013. Despite the second rank in a public vote in Rock Voices , which has more than half a million votes, they are not sworn in by the Rock Hall committee. Bassist Kiss Gene Simmons and Rush bassist Geddy Lee commented that Deep Purple should definitely be between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. There have been past criticisms of Deep Purple that have not been sworn in yet. Toto guitarist Steve Lukather commented, "they put Patti Smith in there but not Deep Purple? What's the first song that every child learns to play? [" Smoke on the Water "]... And they're not in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?... Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has lost its coolness due to its striking negligence. "Guns N 'Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash expressed his surprise and disagreement for non-induction Deep Purple; "The list of people who have not even been nominated is confusing... the big one for me is Deep Purple.How can not you induct Deep Purple?". Metallica band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett have also been lobbying for band induction. In an interview with Rolling Stone in April 2014, Ulrich pleaded: "I will not go into politics or anything but I have two words to say: 'Deep Purple.' That's what I need say: Deep Purple.. Seriously, people, Deep Purple.. Two simple words in English... 'Deep Purple'! Did I already say that? "In 2015, Chris Jericho, WWE wrestler and vocalist of the current rock band , Fozzy, states: "Deep Purple is not in it [Hall of Fame] This is nonsense.It is clear there are some politics who oppose them to go in there."
In response to this, a Hall of Fame chief executive said, "The definition of 'rock and roll' means different things for different people, but as broadly as possible such a classification, they all share the same love of music. Roger Glover remained ambivalent about induction and got the word inside from the Hall, "One of the jurors said, 'You know, Deep Purple, they're just a miracle.' How can you deal with that kind of Philistinism, you know? Ian Gillan also commented, "I have fought a lifetime against being institutionalized and I think you should actively seek these things, in other words mingle with the right people, and we are not invited to such things. "On October 16, 2013 Deep Purple was once again announced as a nomination for inclusion to the Hall, and again they were not inducted.
In April 2015, Deep Purple topped the list in a Rolling Stone reader poll of the action that should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016. In October 2015, the band was nominated for a third induction.. In December 2015, the band was announced as 2016 adopted into the Hall of Fame, with the Hall stating: "Deep Purple that is not included in the Hall is a gaping hole that must now be filled", adding that along with fellow inductees Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, the band formed the "Holy Trinity of hard rock and metal bands." The band was officially inaugurated on April 8, 2016. Hall of Fame announced that the following members were included as inductees: Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Ian Gillan, Rod Evans, David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Excluded from induction are Nick Simper, Tommy Bolin, Joe Lynn Turner, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse and Don Airey.
Prior to the induction ceremony, Ian Gillan announced that he forbade Hughes, Coverdale, Evans and Blackmore to play with them on stage, as this member was not in the "live, breathe" version of the band. Of the eight members who were inaugurated, five appeared. Blackmore did not show up; a post on his Facebook page claimed he was respected by induction and had considered attending, until he received a letter from Bruce Payne, manager of the current tour version, Deep Purple, saying, "No!" In an interview at Rock Hall, Gillan insisted that he personally invited Blackmore to attend, but did not play on stage. Evans, who had disappeared from the music world more than three decades earlier, also did not appear, while because Lord had died in 2012, his wife Vickie received his award on his behalf. The band members currently play "Highway Star" for the opening appearance. After a brief interlude playing Booker T. & amp; song M.G. "Green Onions" while photographs of the late Jon Lord flashed across the screen behind them, Deep Purple members currently play two more songs: "Hush" and their distinctive song "Smoke on the Water". Despite being banned from playing with Deep Purple, both David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes (and Roger Glover) joined fellow inductees Cheap Trick and all-star players to cover Fats Domino's "Is not That a Shame".

Concert tour
Deep Purple is considered one of the toughest tour bands in the world. From 1968 to the present day (with the exception of their 1976-1984 split) they continued touring around the world. In 2007, the band received a special award to sell over 150,000 tickets in France, with 40 dates in the country in 2007 alone. Also in 2007, Deep Purple's Rapture of the Deep tour was selected as the 6th concert tour of this year (in all genres of music) by Planet Rock listeners. The Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang tour was voted as number 5 and beat the Purple tour by just 1%. Deep Purple released a new live compilation DVD box, Around the World Live, in May 2008. In February 2008, the band made their first appearance at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia at the personal request of Dmitry Medvedev who at the time was regarded as a shoo- in for the presidency of Russia. Prior to that, Deep Purple has toured Russia several times since 1996, but has not been considered to have played a significant place before. The band is part of the entertainment for the FIS 2009 Ski World Championships in Liberec, Czech Republic.
