Deep Purple 'Purpendicular' (1996)

Image

Ritchie Blackmore had left, again, so the band looked around for a different guitarist with his own sound and arrived at Steve Morse from the Dixie Dregs.

The resulting album is fresh and intriguing with great musicianship from all concerned. No battling egos but a cohesive Rock machine getting down and doing what they do best.

Superb!

:dance:

Yngwie Malmsteen 'Rising Force' (1984)
His virtuosic neo-Classical style really appeals to me now and the Hard Rock format makes this a powerful ride. Great stuff!

:music-headbanger:
Swedish guitar God. Only his arrogance goes over his guitar skills :roll:
It's funny how many rate Malmsteen as the "Great Neo-Classicist Guitarist", and yet ignore the fact that he was inspired by, and almost stalked, Ritchie Blackmore. When you look at a lot of the licks Blackmore uses they are so Bachian. I remember an interview with Blackmore where he talks about the origin of the classic smoke on the water riff. Which is the reverse of the intro to Beethoven's 5th ( :pray: :pray: IIRC ) but rather than playing the chords as fifths he plays them using his typical fourths
It's funny I always had him pigeon holed thusly. However on actually listening to him (after all these years!) if I had to say he was derivative of anyone it would be Satriani rather than Blackmore. I've only listened to rising Force but I had to check I'd put the right LP on...

Currently playing is Ralph McTell's rather wonderful "You Well-Meaning Brought Me Here". The first play since adding the monoblocks and phono stage. It sounds way better than I remembered.

The previous couple this evening were the out-take tracks from "Blue Train" and some live Groundhogs.

Where I go next may be influenced by how much Buffalo Trace bourbon I get through . . .

I waited for years to see Yngwie live, and finally he played a small venue (The Bierkellar) here in Bristol.
However, the sound was so loud and distorted that I left after 30 minutes.

Biggest disappointment at a gig since the cancelled Clash concert in Belfast that turned into a mini-riot and I had to walk 15 miles home (spent all my money on beer - as a 16-year old would).
