New Deep Purple album.

[Moonloop]

Still an event, but not quite the event it used to be:-

"Deep Purple have announced a deal with Edel Records in Germany, following their departure from EMI. They say the new studio album is called RAPTURE OF THE DEEP, and have it scheduled for October release. Edel are not well-known in the UK but have been operating in Europe for many years, and had several big name signing in that time."

"Bananas" was ok but doesn't exactly have me aching to get it out of the racks. We'll see what the new one brings

Deep who?

[Moonloop]

You jest, naturally.......

[ravenheart]

I loved Bananas. I've loved Everything since Perfect Strangers (with the possible exception of Slaves And Masters), but I especially like the heavier sound they've had since Steve Morse joined.

And the new album is going to be even heavier. I look forward to it.

Have to admit, I'm from the 'old school' but still like to look forward to each new album, don't think they've ever done a really bad one and certainly "Purpendicular" stands out from the recent ones 

"Cut Runs Deep" was the best track from "Slaves and Masters", which was probably a low point in the catalogue for me also 

[Herben]

Deep who?

Don't You know the very famous song from Deep Purple named Stairway to Heaven? and Smoke under water?

[Peter]

and Smoke under water?

Now, that's a good one for the "Misheard Lyrics"  section

[gelert]

Now, that's a good one for the "Misheard Lyrics"  section

Ah, shoot...

...and all of this time, I thought that it was "Smirk underwater".

Where's the "emoticon", Peter...? 

[Herben]

Now, that's a good one for the "Misheard Lyrics"  section

OK Smoke on the water sorry my mistake, it's sounds almost the same, it's more spectacular smoke under water, it's just the idea, don't think the lyric is that important it's the music that counts

[Moonloop]

OK Smoke on the water sorry my mistake

Oops...thought you were being sarcastic   

[Herben]

Oops...thought you were being sarcastic  :-[ 

Me being sarcastic? I like the song smoke on the water, it's a nice song.

[keyboardistmatt]

I like "Smoke On the Water" too.






I also like Fog On the River, Steam From The Kettle, etc etc.....

[Moonloop]

I like the song smoke on the water, it's a nice song.

a "nice" song 

Not, "one of the greatest rock anthems of all time" or "one of the most played riffs in the history of recorded music" but, nice...

Herben, if you're ever thinking of giving up your day job to become a music critic, I'd re-think

Herben, if you're ever thinking of giving up your day job to become a music critic, I'd re-think  ;)  ;D 

Then You say that I'm sarcastic??

[Moonloop]

Then You say that I'm sarcastic??

I'll give you that one   

[keyboardistmatt]

Now, now chaps!  Wind your necks in!

[Moonloop]

Now, now chaps!  Wind your necks in!

Nah....humour is good for the soul (at least that's what my therapist tells me  )

[keyboardistmatt]

Well, ok, let your hair down...

[Moonloop]

Well, ok, let your hair down...

It would have to be metaphorically 

[keyboardistmatt]

It would have to be metaphorically

Of course!

[gelert]

My olde Ox's Forde Dictionary doesn't give list the word "Meta"...

...nor the word "phorical"...

but metaphoric is ref: the geol. of rock...

BUT, as the subject was to do with "letting one's hair down", I'm sure that the terminology should have been "metafollicle"...?

Just a thought.

[keyboardistmatt]

Thought acknowledged, and duely noted.

[Herben]

It's all greek (might be easier than english) to me letting Your hair down and metaporisicaly, aren't there normal english words to make it clear for all the stupid dutch people like me, sorry for my rude words

First point... I'm sure you are not stupid, you shouldn't put yourself down.

THE point... the English term 'let your hair down' means 'to relax' (or thereabouts!)

[Peter]

Heh, I thought it was meant like "let your hear down, which was knotted into a braid before, so that you can do better head-banging/moshing"
