Interesting Reaction To Deep Purple - Burn 

The Brits have produced SO MANY fantastic vocalists over the years,but a shout out to one of the best rock drummers ever,Ian Paice. Never misses.

In a song where everyone puts in an epic performance, Ian Paice's drumming steals the show and makes my arms sore to hear.

Crazy to believe this song is 50 years old! Deep Purple ages like fine wine! :)

Ian Paice's drumming is driving this song. Those fills and rolls are pure gold.

There are technically two vocalists in this band David Coverdale the bluesy frontman and Glenn Hughes the bass player is the one doing the high shrinking.

We all know about the crazy guitar work from Blackmore but Ian Pace has got to be one of the most unbelievable drummers period! Damn how he hits really beats those skins violently!👌

I take so many of these songs for granted because I've been listening to them forever, and then I get the opportunity to see you take them in for the first time. Brings back memories.

When you hear that clean high vocal, it is Glenn Hughes the Voice Of Rock. This lineup was phenomenal. Coverdale and Hughes set the bar for tandem vocals in Hard Rock/ Metal.

Two teenagers, 1970 something, probably close to alcohol poisoning, out in a field somewhere with a big bonfire with a bunch of others listening to Deep Purple!! Ahhh the memories!!! The two teenagers managed not to die and still listen to Deep Purple!

Y’all gotta do “Child In Time” with Ian Gillan, the second lead singer the band had, who most fans consider to be THE VOICE of Deep Purple.

Brilliant song. Paice on drums NEVER stops. The lead and the keys by Lord are amazing Just insane. Love Burn and love your reaction.

At this point Ian Gillan had left as vocalist and they brought in David Coverdale (later to form Whitesnake) and they also had brought in Glenn Hughes on bass (Trapeze, DP Mk III & IV, Hughes/Thrall, Sabbath, Hughes-Turner Project, Black Country Communion w/Joe Bonamassa, Dead Daisies w/Doug Aldrich), who is a great soulful, funky singer in his own right. As a result in this rendition of the band Hughes would often sing the higher parts, like in this song, you hear Hughes isolated in the pre-chorus, Coverdale in the verses and both in harmony during the chorus. Powerful! Great tune! Later when Blackmore left the brought in Tommy Bolin (RIP) on guitar from 1975-76.

And the live version of burn at Cal Jam is unbelievable. You can find it on RU-vid.

The other voice you hear is Glenn Hughes “bassist” you know we had no time!! That’s him. Two awesome singers! Great voice in his own right.

"Burn' is definitely one of Deep Purple's best records... the next one 'Stormbringer' was also ahead of its time sonically. Deep Purple went thru quite a few members... Rod Evans was the band's original vocalist back in 1968 -'69 -he recorded 3 albums w/ Deep Purple, but it was in a pop-rock style. His version of 'Hush' is still one of the best. Ian Gillan was the 2nd vocalist, joining in 1969, and that was when Deep Purple went into a 'heavy rock' direction in 1970. He is considered the voice of Deep Purple on the strength of his albums - 'In rock' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Machine head'... & 'Who do we think we are'. David Coverdale replaced Gillan in 1974 and did co-vocals in Deep Purple w/ bassist Glenn Hughes until 1976. When Deep Purple reunited in 1984, Ian Gillan came back to the band... however, conflicts w/ guitarist Ritchie Blackmore got him fired in 1989. Joe Lynn Turner (former Rainbow vocalist) recorded 1 album w/ Deep Purple in 1990, but his style of singing did not fit the band. Ian Gillan was brought back in 1993, but that led to Blackmore leaving Deep Purple soon after... thankfully, guitarist Steve Morse joined in 1994 and brought Deep Purple back to their current success w/ Ian Gillan on vocals.

This is the song that made me a Deep Purple fan, awesome to see you two react to it.

I usually don’t listen to Deep Purple beyond Ian Gillan but this song is growing on me. Ian Paice is hitting the heck out of those drums. David Coverdale’s voice goes well with this song! My favorite Deep Purple is still Highway Star for its guitar work.

This has always been my absolute DP favorite, followed by Stormbringer. I love the lyrics. I wish there was a cool animated music video featuring a demonic witch devastatingly moving forward through a village. Burn is actually a drum solo.

The people laughed 'till she said 'Burn'! My favorite line from an amazing song.

Ian Paice is constantly phenominal as a drummer & never was fully acknowledge for his abilities. Great stuff in so many songs.

The live California Jam version of this is incredible, you can really hear the amazing voice Glenn has, blows David away.

As great as they were and are, this song, this album, for me is the pinnacle.

What I always have loved about this song is the shared lead vocals between David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes ("You know we had no time" sections).

David Coverdale on Whitesnakes " Slow and Easy" is another Burner

Ian Paice is magnificent and John and Ritchie’s solos are incredible

Probably my favorite Deep Purple track. This song slaps on so many levels.

It's David Coverdale, as you've identified correctly, who replaced Ian Gillan (not Gillian!). He sounds a bit similar to Dio, but if you listen more closely you notice the differences. Dio is a lot more controlled, David likes to cut it loose. LIke in "She makes you burn with a wave of her hand", that "wave of her hand" part would probably have sounded totally different with Dio. You should do a comparison of "Mistreated", as performed by David in Deep Purple and Dio with Rainbow. E: The other singer with the high voice is Glen Hughes, who replaced Ian Gillan in Black Sabbath (Gillan in return replaced Dio in Sabbath before that). E^2: The very first lead singer of Deep Purple was Rod Evans. Check out "Hush", for example.

Great reaction! PLEASE...don't neglect the rest of the album. There are some incredible tracks on it!

The hi voice you heard on " you know we had no time" was Glenn Hughes amazing bass player and singer !!

This was the first single from the Coverdale/Hughes era and is one of Deep Purple's most amazing songs.

I was sweet 16, living in Africa, with a blue Philips portable record player. Miss that darn thing! Anyway… Burn always reminds me of my dorm at Prince Edward boarding school in Salisbury, Rhodesia,(as it was at the time). A beautifully complex piece of underground. That’s what heavy rock or metal was called back in the day. I was so disappointed that Gillan & Glover had left DP. It felt like the end. But then this album “Burn” came out! And all was forgiven We had Purple back again… at least for a while Great review guys. Loved it that you loved it!

I am 68 and m'y favorite hard Rock band were and still are deep purple, led Zeppelin... I am amused by your genuine réactions.. naturel your young and i am an old crazy hard rocker man ! You're great !!!

Hey T, actually Rod Evans was the 1st singer and sang on their 1st 3 albums. Ian Gillan joined on their 4th album along with bassist Roger Glover. That lineup is recognized as the classic Deep Purple lineup. Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, HTP aka Hughes Turner Project) sang on the Deep Purple album Slaves And Masters -- some good stuff on their too.

I've been a huge Deep Purple fan since 1972,but enough people have commented here with facts and good opinions about the band.I would like to comment that I really enjoyed both of your reactions. It was very entertaining and this is the second video reaction of yours that I have watched. Looking forward to watching some more.

Love DEEP PURPLE , they have always been one of my favorites , if taking requests , anything from the album MADE IN JAPAN , maybe Highway Star , or Space Truckin !!!!

David Coverdale lead vocals on MARK III DeepPurple ,..the backround screams and " STILL I HEAR " section is Glenn Hughes the bassist ....he also does the " you know we had no tiiiiime " section ;)

Glen Hughes (the singer Tasha is enjoying most) is a true legend. He was lead vocalist for Trapeze, Phenomena (with numerous members of Whitesnake, Trapeze, Asia etc), Black Sabbath (for the 7th Star album and a duet album with Tony Iommi called 8th Star), Black Country Communion (with Jason Bonham and Joe Bonamassa,) California Breed, a long solo career and currently he's the lead vocalist for Dead Daisies. He's been around since the 60s and hasn't lost a step. He's still among the best in the industry.

Written by Glenn Hughes (Bass/Vocals) as his first written song for Deep Purple. He sings it with Coverdale and sings it in his solo act today. He is the one hitting the higher notes. It was Blackmore who left Purple and basically took over Elf. Elf had RJD (Dio) as their lead singer. When Blackmore joined they changed the name to Rainbow

I would highly recommend from this album the tune Mistreated, the vocals are fantastic and the second guitar solo at the end is a masterpiece and then add Sail Away from this album, you will not be disappointed ...

Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and Jon lord on Hammond organ along with Ian paice on drums 3 of the best.

The first singer of DP was actually Rod Evans on the first 3 albums. Then Ian Gillan replaced him and Roger Glover replaced original bassist Nic Simper. Rod Evans was later in Captain Beyond. You should check that band out if you aren't familiar with them as well as some early Purple. And this song is a great one.

"Holding that time" that was actually Glenn Hughes bass and vocals. He's an awesome singer too.

Whitesnake go way back to after Purple broke up, it eventually featured Purple members, Jon Lord (organ) and Ian Paice (drums) in the band, and had quite a few hits in Europe before breaking in America years later in the 80's/

Two vocalists in this song. David Coverdale (of Whitesnake fame) sang the baritone parts and bassist Glenn Hughes sang the tenor parts. They made for a good tag team in the MK III version of Deep Purple. Stormbringer, Mistreated and You Keep On Moving would be good songs to check out from the Coverdale/Hughes version of the band. Regarding Ian Gilllan, he was the second lead vocalist in Deep Purple, and that MK II lineup is considered the "classic" version of the band. Smoke On The Water, Highway Star, Woman From Tokyo, Child In Time and Rat Bat Blue are some of that lineup's more well known tunes. (Tasha has reacted to Rat Bat Blue.) The original vocalist for Deep Purple was named Rod Evans, and he fronted Deep Purple during their first three albums from the 1960s. They had a hit song called Hush. He and bassist Nick Simper were replaced by Ian GIlllan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969.

the Guitarist Richie Blackmore was the lead guitar for Rainbow.

Ian Paice killing the kit in this one...

To me, Deep Purple is my favourite band of all time and this is probably my favourite song, right up there with highway star and child in time.

Burn is one of my all time favourite songs..... listen to the great ...everything... great to see you've got the boss in their with you TNT

The whole album is great! You guys did a fantastic review of this song, thanks.

FIrst of all: I love you two and your videos! It's great to see how the music I grew up with is still appreciated by younger folks! I have especially two comments to make, maybe someone's already mentioned this, but I can't read 387 comments now, so here I go: One: The first singer with Deep Purple wasn't Ian Gillan, but Rod Evans. Also a great vocalist, as you can hear e.g. in 'Why didn't Rosemary' or 'Mandrake Root'. Two: I agree that this is an epic song that has everything this kind of music needs. So maybe it's interesting indeed to know that the intro was 'stolen' from a song in 'Porgy and Bess'. Talk about black roots .... 🙂

This always reminds me of hearing this on the car radio driving to high school on those dark winter mornings in 1975...no coffee was needed...

Behind this all is a legend - RITCHIE BLACKMORE

Ian Paice on drums! The man is a monster.

Great reaction guys, another great deep purple track with Coverdale is stormbringer 🤘🏻

Ian Paice was Deep Purple's secret weapon, unless you're into drums. In that case, he was the super star of the band.

The high voice is Glen Hughes their bass player who went on to start Trapeze. And David Coverdale singing goes on to start White snake.

My second favourite song based on Ian Paices drumming. Amazing. Fireball is number 1! The semi classical solos on both guitar and organ are so good. The riff is a classic. David Coverdale has a great voice but I believe some parts are sung by Glenn Hughes, the new bass player that replaced Roger Glover who left with Ian Gillan. Coverdale sang on 3 Deep Purple albums. On the first Whitesnake albums Jon Lord played keyboards there too.

TNT, I love your reaction to this song. Been listening to Burn for 48 years.. Still have the same reaction. Love you guys!

David Coverdale submitted 6 poems to Ritchie. Sci-fi/ fantasy was not David's thing, but Ritchie liked it, so he wrote Burn and Stormbringer for Ritchie. He said, Burn was about "The Death of Atlantis or whatever". David's lack of commitment to the fantasy genre means that Plato's writings about the fictional island continent which sank into the sea were used by David as a loosely connected theme, not a direct inspiration. This explains why the city in this song, burns down instead of being sunk into the sea by earthquakes as it it did according to Plato's writings. Without going into great detail, Atlantis (fictional) was a huge, powerful island kingdom. They conquered many lands in the Mediterranean sea, until they were defeated by the Athenians. Eventually, because of their evil ways and lack of faith, the gods cursed them and Atlantis was destroyed by earthquakes and it sank into the sea. That said, here's my interpretation of the song, Burn. A powerful woman prophet is sent by the gods to warn a land of their fate, unless they change their evil ways. The great city doesn't not believe her. They call her a liar and the spawn of the devil, except for our story teller, who didn't believe that she was born of the devil. As it turns out, not only is this woman the messenger from the gods, she is also the one who signals the destruction of the city, should they choose to reject her warnings. With the wave of her hand, she shouts, "Burn!" and the city is destroyed by earthquakes and fire.

Coverdale & Hughes ....their Duetts were FIRE !!!!....you should see the LIVE Version of this Song.....The HIGH Notes of Hughes are Mindblowing !

Phenomenal musicianship..... and yes ...the British Isles have produced so many great singers!

Ian Paice is possibly the most underrated drummer of the classic rock era. Straight fire.

There were actually two vocalist in this song David Coverdale was the main and the Secondary was Glen Hughes who replaced Roger Glover on Bass

Tasha reacted to Deep Purple's Rat Bat Blue, don't you remember that? Anyway, Dio was NEVER in Deep Purple. This was the first album Purple made after Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left. They were replaced by David Coverdale (lead vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass & vocals) respectively. Coverdale sings most of the lead on this song, except for the bridges, which are sung by Hughes, who also sings harmony vocals. But my favourite aspect of this song is the drumming, which is beyond belief! Jon Lord's keyboards also knock me out, especially the portion that almost sounds like a Bach harpsicord piece. Amazing! By the way, Deep Purple is my all time favourite band. You should give a listen to Lazy sometime, or even Speed King or Hard Lovin' Man. They excel in a live setting because they're such great musicians who are not afraid to improvise. Check out their live version of Strange Kind of Woman if you want to hear nasty, bluesy guitar and stunning vocal work when Blackmore and Gillan battle it out on stage. It's staggering! Purple can set your skin on fire anytime they want to, especially live. Lyrically they're not too sophisticated ... it's their musicianship that matters. Which is fine with me since lyrics don't do much for me except on rare occasions. PEACE!

This is one of the most finely crafted rock songs ever!

Glenn Hughes' vocals definitely give it a bluesy/black feeling, too! Once I, a white Brit, told a colleague at the English course we worked at in Rio, who is African American, that the individual who sings on his own at the end of "Smoke on the Water", the end bit, on the Live in London album, is a white Brum and not a black american girl. Check it out

This is my favourite Deep Purple song by a country mile.

David Coverdale joined Deep Purple in 1973 after the departure of Ian Gillan from the band who also made some great music with Purple, including the bands hit song Smoke On The Water which sent the band in to main stream.

This is my favorite song from them.

The singer is David Coverdale, who became more famous as the voice of Whitesnake

IT MELTS MY HEART TO SEE YOU ROCKIN WITH US 70' S KIDS...I wish I could have known you then!

Knocking at your back door by Deep Purple 1984

Glen hughes, most underated vocalist in British rock.

Theyre such accomplished 3xciting musicians...very intelligent in every facet..music,writing,life...there a ride...purple dares u to ride along...that's always how I felt when I first studied this band as a young.man...regardless of tour likes or dislikes they can not be denied...purple

The Burn tour was my first live concert. It was amazing!

YES!!!! Burn, one of my all time faves! Amazing song, great review ... thanks TNT! Stormbringer next please!

This is now Yngwie's song, (: haha, he took it over. He liked it so much, he did a cover of it. And Yngwie is the greatest guitarist in the world.

Vocals on this song, David Coverdale (lead), backing vocals by bassist, Glenn Hughes. Right on with the Salem witch scenario. BTW, the current generation is discovering Deep Purple too. Check out this kid perform Burn on drums. There's even a video out there with Ian Paice checking her out and he is blown away. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uhzX9QbH3js.html

My favorite track from my all-time favorite band!

The Hammond B3 was a trademark of lots of 70s blues/rock...Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, etc. It is greatly missed.

Ya gotta hear "Fireball". Also, Whitesnake "Live in London In the Still of the NIght". They do a crazy version of "Burn" as the first song. It's here on RU-vid.

Purple with Coverdale is amazing great reaction!

Fabulous band from back in my old man days!! Glad you two got to hear this!! 😊👍

David Coverdale was a notable unknown nobody, until he became Deep Purple singer in 1974. Then he learned everything, from this experience that lasted until 1976, to dream about living being a rock musician and to have his own band (Whitesnake). Here it's the debut album for David and he was more than ready to this. Deep Purple are the best. You have to react to Deep Purple Mark II (with Ian Gillan on vocals and Roger Glover on bass) I recommend you to listen to Child in Time (Live) also Highway Star and Space Truckin' (live, from Made in Japan doble album).

The Voice Uncle Glenn Hughes, the best vocalist in that band and was the bass player,check out Black Country Communion with Joe Bonnomassa, Jason Bonham,and Derek Shernian !

You all should check out more of Glenn Hughes (bass players, co lead vocals aka the "voice of rock" aka thw white Stevie Wonder. His solo work, his current band Dead Daises, Big Country Communion, and more including a album as Black Sabbath's singer.

Yeah it's so cool how these great bands tie into each other! This rocks!!

That was Glenn, holding that note!

Actually Rod Evans was the first singer for Deep Purple. Check out Hush in was a cover but a huge hit in America and Purple performed the Song at the Playboy Mansion in 68.

My favorite lineup and song by Purple.

my absolute favorite Deep Purple song!

Check out the song "Sail Away" from this same album..... combination of funk and blues.

I was in the Army when this came out. Waited in line at the record store for it to open the buy the new DP album. Put it on the turntable and got just blown away. Couldn't believe my ears. Sold me on DP L3 (the third lineup of Deep Purple). Went back that very afternoon to buy "Come Taste the Band" which was OK, but certainly not up to "Burn" standards. My favorite L3 song, although I prefer to listen to the album "Stormbringer" more. I loved T's reaction when he realized it was Coverdale on vocals!

You can so hear the beginnings of Whitesnake in this song.

The drums of Ian Pace and the Hammond of John Lord are the engine in this song. Mistreated which I believe is the first or only song on the B-side is also a fantastic song.

2 singers singing Burn. David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Coverdale is my all time fave rock singer. And Glenn Hughes is right up there too. Ian Paice on Drums. Joh Lord on Hammond organ. Glenn Hughes Bass. And Richie Blackmore on lead guitar.

The really high bits ' you know we have no time' is Glenn Hughes who was lead singer and bassist prior to Deep Purple with Trapeze and now lead singer and bassist with the Dead Daisies

That's David Coverdale singing, who later had big success with Whitesnake.

This whole album is the BOMB !!!

The beginning of hard rock 🔥🎸🎶
