Mr. Horrible Gelatinous Blob Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 1,683 guitarists play 'Smoke on Water' 06/06/2007 1:00 PM, AP Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kansas - More than 1,680 guitar players turned out, tuned up and took part in what organizers say was a world record rendition of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" � a song that was the first many of them ever learned. Some came from as far away as California and Germany on Sunday to take part in a Kansas City radio station's effort to break a Guinness world record for the most people playing the same song simultaneously. The record had been 1,323 people playing the same song in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994. "It was cool to see little kids playing, people who had been playing for their whole lives, like older people, and then I'm sure there were people like me who just picked up the song a couple days before," said Autumn McPherson, of Winfield, a senior at the University of Kansas. Preliminary numbers show 1,683 people played the popular early '70s guitar riff on Sunday at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. "I thought it was going to be kind of cheesy," said Hannah Koch, of Prairie Village, who came clad in an elf costume. "But after I got here, I got caught up in the excitement of it." Tanna Guthrie, a morning show host for KYYS (99.7 FM), came up with the idea for the record attempt. She said her station will send participant sign-up lists, photos, videos and copies of media coverage to Guinness seeking official recognition of a record. Guthrie said she chose "Smoke on the Water," a track off Deep Purple's Machine Head album, because it's one of the first songs many guitarists learn. "You never know if you can pull something like this off," she said. One of the participants, John Cardona of Hanford, California, said he brought felt-tip pens so he could get others to sign his guitar. "It was the guitar I learned on," the 41-year-old said. "It was very dispensable on the way here, but very valuable to me now." Quote

Rox Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Gledao sam Purple na The Battle Rages on turneji kada je na gitari bio Joe Satriani, odlican koncert, mada neostvarena zelja mi je da ih vidim sa Blackomoor-om. Quote
Archibald Reiss Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 ko jebe HUGHES-a, sta ce on na ovoj temi?! A ako mislite da ce bilo koji bend da gleda ko je odakle pa po toj logici onda kod nas ne bi dosao NIKO. Bas smo na super glasu po svetu... njih bole lud samo gde mogu da napune i uzmu lovu... bre manite se patriotizma i slicnih sranja kada je muzika u pitanju. Quote
Dowla Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Verovatno ce svirati u nekoj od americkih baza na Kosovu. Quote

JOJ majko moja mila,imao sam tu nesrecu gledati Parpl sa satrijanijem i to mi je jedan od najnegativnijih trenutaka odkako posjecujem koncerte.Da kolega Rox ne rece sad ovo, ja sam to bio potisnuo totalno,ne bih se nikad sjetio Quote
Divlji Tigar Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) Ja nikada nisam nesto puno slusao "Deep Purple" ali u zadnje vreme ih bas dosta slusam. Priznajem samo albume sa Blackmoorom, ostali mi se ne svidju bas nesto previse. Edited August 5, 2007 by Divlji Tigar Quote

Bend je bio u dobrom raspolozenju, pogotovo Gillan koji je tu noc odlicno pjevao. Osjetilo se neko rasterecenje nakon tenzija sa Blackmoore-om. Ok, Satriani nije za DP (niti uopste za benda) ali treba imati na umu da je uskocio preko noci kao zamjena i potrudio se da se uklopi. Nedavno sam ih gledao u sadasnjoj postavi i zvucali su mi staro i tromo. Zavisi i kako se noc potrefi. Quote
Ronnie_Wood Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Ja nikada nisam nesto puno slusao "Deep Purple" ali u zadnje vreme ih bas dosta slusam. Priznajem samo albume sa Blackmoorom, ostali mi se ne svidju bas nesto previse. Ja priznajem sa Coverdale-om albume samo Shalim se naravno . ,dobri su svi iz prve ere (1968-1976) ali sa Coverdale-om su mi najbolji .... naravno uz Blackomre-a i pokojnog Bolin-a :rockdevil: Quote
Divlji Tigar Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Meni se prva tri albuma ne svidjaju, jeste da je Ritchie Blackmore svirao, ali su mi mnogo blagi. Album "Come taste the band" jos uvek nisam uspeo da zagotivim. Imam neki video sa Bolinom "Rise over Japan", nije to to fali "Covek u crnom". Quote
Ronnie_Wood Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Sviraju 3.novembra u Sarajevu .... :rockdevil: http://deep-purple.com/tourdates/ Quote
dr.lecter Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Idi bre. Pa šta je reći, daj malo ovo obrazloži... Pa sta da ti kazem Blekmur je ostvario mozda najvise u vasioni sto se tice autorskog rada,nema koga nije inspirisao,onako kako je pjesma odsvirana na ploci tako se svira i uzivo uz manja odstupanja naravno, i kad Blekmur radi impro to ima stila i DUSU. Kad je satrijani to pokusao da radi to je bilo grozno,koga intresuju njegove skale odsvirane sa 125 km/h na Parpl konncertu? Nikoga... Quote
_powerslave_ Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Sviraju 3.novembra u Sarajevu .... :rockdevil: http://deep-purple.com/tourdates/ Mogli bi i do nas da svrate 2 ili 5 novembra. Quote
Ronnie_Wood Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Mogli bi i do nas da svrate 2 ili 5 novembra. Pa mogli bi,ali su bili skoro ..... u februaru proshle god. ,tako da neverujem da ce i sada.... Quote
_powerslave_ Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Pa mogli bi,ali su bili skoro ..... u februaru proshle god. ,tako da neverujem da ce i sada.... Ma znam da su bili prosle godine, nego kad pogledash gde sve dolaze, zaista je grehota da kod nas ne dodju. Quote
crusader84 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Ja bih najviše voleo da opet dodju kod nas, ali mislim da po treći put ne bi došlo ni 5.000 ljudi... Jedino kad bi bila sprovedena neka baš žestoka marketinška kampanja, ali za to nema baš ni vremena... btw Cene karata za Budimpeštu: Standing Presale 38,09 EUR Seat IV Presale 38,52 EUR Seat III Presale 51,35 EUR Seat II Presale 64,20 EUR Seat I Presale 81,32 EUR Seat V Presale 32,10 EUR Edited August 27, 2007 by crusader84 Quote
_powerslave_ Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Treci put bi najbolje bilo da ih stave u Halu Pionir ili Halu Sportova. Quote
crusader84 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Kad ih nisu u Arenu onda kad je trebalo, sad i ja mislim da bi Pionir bio OK (nekako mi deluje akustičnije nego HS). Back to the roots... hehe, još kad bi ista postava koja je bila u Pioniru došla... :smajlikojibalavi: Quote
enclave Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Bolje da ne dodju.Izblamirali bi se.Doslo bi 2,3 hiljade ljudi a to je za takav bend smesno. Quote
_powerslave_ Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Pa zadnji put kad su dolazili u Hrvatsku bilo je negde oko 2-3 hiljade ljudi, i eto ponovo dolaze kod njih. Quote
