In rock around the clock
Marcelo Velazquez writes to us:
Hi, I made this video in honor of my all-time favorite band and I wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it.
And the video is Deep Purple In Rock, if it was recorded in the 50s:
The immortal words of Arthur C. Clarke are very pertinent here: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
At the risk of sounding clueless, I must ask: is this AI?
November 7th, 2024 at 00:31For once, the lads have proper haircuts, way to go!
November 7th, 2024 at 01:44Call me crazy but I think this is really good. Flight of the Rat is my favorite, I wish they would Purple would play it live. I’ve only been waiting 54 years.
November 7th, 2024 at 02:55Thinking about it, a lot of the melodies of this new version are more catchy and campfire-suitable than when the boys recorded the album first time around. Few women have been wooed by an acoustic version of Hard Lovin’ Man or, for that matter, Living Wreck under a starlit sky …

November 7th, 2024 at 04:57I have no interest in computer generated music…
November 7th, 2024 at 07:49Very drôle this version. And I second the emotion of George Martin about Flight of the rat. I once read that Ian Paice is not keen on performance the song.
November 7th, 2024 at 08:03I am repelled by this crap and by what technology could generate in the future. It’s not genuine stuff.
November 7th, 2024 at 09:15what a shit!
Amazing and weirdly good!
November 7th, 2024 at 09:53Very fresh music !
November 7th, 2024 at 11:33The lads could have play it like that for sure .
It’s only Rock’n’roll ….
Thanks
This is……….Fantastic!!! Well done! Finally something original. Maybe this band will take off ! Gillan has often mentioned Elvis as an influence. Bloodsucker certainly captures that influence.
November 7th, 2024 at 12:23“Gillan has often mentioned Elvis as an influence.”

Very entertaining! Thanks a lot for sharing, Marcelo!
It’s good fun and I see absolutely no reason to use abusive words here.
November 7th, 2024 at 16:33Let’s all just hope technology is used for stuff like this rather than tearing the world apart …
But this is real, Karin:

November 8th, 2024 at 06:25I didn’t want to offend anyone. I only wrote that this technology is dangerous, like chemical ice cream (s**t).
Good golly, this version of into the fire would be a fun thing even for the band to play at around the age of 90. (I mean Simon 90).

No I don’t do that, I’ll prefer to solve our disagreements over a lovely cup of coffee 😍
November 8th, 2024 at 10:54AI will become an ever increasing part of our reality. We will soon need it to determine whether something else is AI-based or not.
Like any new form of technology it can be misused, but it will not be going away.
November 8th, 2024 at 12:59The Metal God was prophetic already in 1980, he knew it all!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y380pPnd0Go
“We’ve taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From what I’ve seen of perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we’d be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot’s scythes
Metal gods
Metal gods
Metal gods
Metal gods
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they learn to discover
How they can make their demands
Better be the slaves
November 8th, 2024 at 14:23To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath”
@14
Oh I love ‘mashed potatoes’ 😍 both the song and as a dish.
I know his band the Javelins 😊
Sweetie, it’s not that I don’t like Under the Moon of Love with Show-whatdoyouknow, but do you honestly think there would not have been Deep Purple without them? ? ?
Or is your comment a reference to the Javelins?
I really love Racey ‘Lay your love on me’ 😃 (except maybe their very interesting dance moves 😂) but it’s a wonderful tune!
And I believe we have been around ‘ Some Girls’ before! Lovely song. Can’t be depressed or angry for a very long time listening to them 🤩.
Ian G and that Greek dude, well, I have Get Away on my playlist!
And I actually would like your opinion on something:
The lyrics starts with Ian G singing he is the right man for that astonishingly beautiful girl, and the Greek fellow would be broken as a toy by her, and then they end up agreeing on lifting each other from the nightmare they are in!
And then I wonder: what happens to the very good looking girl when the guys suddenly form some kind of friendship between them?
Is that normal between men to do that instead of fight each other for the girl?
The Dutch confectionery – I need to have a re-listening…..
I have never heard it before, how old is it?
Still listening…..
Really don’t know what I think about that one 🤔
I mean, it is Ian G and I do love his voice, but man it’s very strange 😐
I need some context here!
By the way, discussing the alleged admiration towards EP by Ian G, I seem to remember reading in the bestseller his autobiography is, that he actually admired EP a tiny bit, but not for his singing, but because Ian G wanted to become an actor, and he knew one way to be that was to become a singer first, like fløde-tenoren had done.
So when he was offered the part in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, or actually he sang the songs before he was offered the part in the film, he thought of it as a way into the movies and stardom.
He actually threw it all away when he asked way too much money for his part in the film.
But as far as I can remember, he didn’t really like EP’s singing, but was more fascinated by the chance of being a movie star !
– so what do you think of that? – ☺️
I wonder where such rumours come from!
November 8th, 2024 at 14:25Sorry, Karin, I have never delved deeper in to the lyrical meaning of Get Away nor of its video, I like the tune though, Greek Ethno-Schlager/Disco, good fun.
***********************************************
The music Showaddywaddy played in the 70s was by then of course a nostalgia spoof, but early rock’n’roll from the 50ies like Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly was hugely influential on DP, just listen how they name-check the lyrics of all the rock’n’roll greats in Speed King or how Little Richard’s Lucille was their encore for a long time.

Stuff like this here is pure rock’n’roll and follows Little Richard’s drama when Big Ian switches to high-pitched scream-falsetto at 02:35:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyenXwFKtlU
*******************************************************
“I wonder where such rumors come from …”
Easy, I think you planted them all! 🤣 Little Big Ian collected all of Elvis’ albums BEFORE Elvis acting career took off in earnest, he stopped with the soundtrack to Blue Hawaii in 1961 – when Elvis left his rock’n’roll roots and basically turned solely to acting for the decade with no less than 24 films until 1970. Many of his old fans saw that as a betrayal and Elvis losing his edge.
As I said, Big Ian was never an Elvis copyist, but you could hear his influence – alongside that of Little Richard and Buddy Holly as well as Chuck Berry’s everyday little stories – on Gillan’s earliest recordings preceding even Episode Six:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBakKSLS26k
***********************************************
The Dutch confectionery is from Bolland Project’s 1992 ‘Darwin – The Evolution’ concept album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltznLyUqvo8&list=PLRVkxwJGq_aTGo7rKH7nEBR-Ii2Vy4WYb
You should be familiar with this song of the Brothers Bolland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_6TT0YCFc
It was a European disco hit about five years BEFORE Status Quo covered it (in my opinion even as a Quo fan: not very well, the Bolland original has more emotional intensity befitting the song’s anti-war theme).
November 8th, 2024 at 20:45@ 21 – “The Metal God was prophetic already in 1980, he knew it all’! Yeah right Uwe, Halford knew it all. So many writers well before him. At least he was trying & yes better lyrics than a lot of ‘songwriters’, but a little late on the scene. That doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t relay a message though. Regarding Elvis & all this AI, which one is real? Cheers.
November 8th, 2024 at 21:58@23
“Easy, I think you planted them all! 🤣“
I give up 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve been patient, understanding, overbearing, kind, patient again, polite, but there is just no winning with you, is there? 🤦🏼♀️
I am not planting any rumours! I am merely citing from the world known autobiography from the current front singer in Deep Purple!
So I continue to be patient, understanding, overbearing, kind and more patient, and polite, and maybe some day you’ll see it the right way 😄

November 9th, 2024 at 07:49Hey, MacTassie, don’t be so hard on me, roll over lay down, I didn’t say that Rob Halford invented machine phobia, that is more like 200 years old if not more. He just sang a little song about it though he wasn’t the first one to make it the lyrical theme of a song either. I’m just happy to use any opportunity here to sneak something in from Walsall’s finest!
Those fiery Aussies, tsk, tsk, tsk …
November 9th, 2024 at 13:29@ 26 – all good Uwe, at least the lyrics suit the music & they are much better than a lot of lyrics I have heard in rock & pop music. Judas Priest I am not a dedicated follower of, but I have been exposed to a lot of their music particularly during the 1980’s & 90’s era. Are they one of those examples of an artists lyrics being better than their songs. Remembering what I said a while ago, can we listen to & enjoy ordinary songs with good lyrics or are we more favourable to better songs with poorer lyrics? For myself it tends to be the latter because of the melody & songwriting. Obviously the perfect blend of both is what is most desirable & we do get spoilt at times. Cheers.
November 9th, 2024 at 21:31“I’ve been patient, understanding, (Uwe’s edit: not?) overbearing, kind, patient again, polite …”
Plus you make great coffee and are fun to have around! I forgive you, Karin, hope The King does too …

Couldn’t care less about EP!
Actually on FB I saw a very interesting lady mentioning that she thinks IG sings way way better than EP, and some French bloke agreed, so apparently I’m not the only one in the world 😄 (ok it was me, but don’t know who the French man is!)
You FORGIVE me???….?

Thanks 👀
November 10th, 2024 at 05:43Now don’t get all emotional, Karin! 😂
Like it or not, Elvis was a pivotal figure of influence on the popular music of the second half of the 20th century and beyond. Comparing him to Ian Gillan as a singer is a bit like saying Mark Rothko is a better painter than Rembrandt, what’s the point 0f that?
Speaking of this Ian Gillan, why don’t we let him decide the matter?
QUOTE
DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan recently spoke to Classic Rock magazine (web site) for its latest issue in which the stars of rock (plus some assorted rock-loving comedians, sportmen, MPs and other riff raff) nominate their “rock icons.” The following is Gillan’s explanation for why Elvis Presley belongs on the list:
“I lost interest in Elvis Presley after he made the ‘Blue Hawaii’ film [in 1961] and went to Las Vegas, but in his prime nobody could touch him.
Michael Parkinson once asked the famous New Zealand soprano Kiri Te Kanawa about the greatest voice she’d ever heard, probably expecting her to name [Luciano] Pavarotti or Maria Callas, but she said, ‘The young Elvis Presley, without any doubt.’
Elvis’s voice was unique. Like so many others, he had natural, technical ability, but there was something in the humanity of his voice, and his delivery. He was very influenced by Southern blues, and he helped to prove that you could have this bizarre mixture of country ‘n’ western, blues and folk music. Recordings were very honest in those days, and they stand up remarkably well.
I was an avid collector of Elvis’ early stuff; for a young singer he was an absolute inspiration. I soaked up what he did like blotting paper. It’s the same as being in school — you learn by copying the maestro. His personality was also extremely endearing. The shaking of his hips was deemed sensational back then, but unlike Little Richard or Chuck Berry, his interviews were very self-effacing. He came over as gentle and was generous in his praise of others.
It was immaterial to me that Elvis didn’t write his own songs. Those were very different days, and he selected whatever suited him best from material supplied by publishing houses and teams of writers — all of whom were extremely conscious of his style of delivery.
Although he appeared in some awful movies, Elvis could also be pretty damn good as an actor. ‘Love Me Tender’ [1956] and ‘Jailhouse Rock’ [1957] were both really good but ‘King Creole’ [1958] was my all-time favourite. Gradually, though, his youthful vigour and uninhibited style began to ebb away. For me, he sang the last time in the movie ‘GI Blues’ [1960].
Along with the rest of DEEP PURPLE I once had the chance to meet Elvis. The rest of the guys went along, but I couldn’t stand seeing my hero after he’d changed so much. Those early records are still incredible, though. They can re-mix them and make them hits for the younger generation, and Elvis will always be the King. The reason is simple: He was the greatest singer that ever lived.”

https://blabbermouth.net/news/deep-purple-frontman-elvis-presley-was-the-greatest-singer-that-ever-lived
I suggest you write Ian Gillan a letter telling him how personally disappointed you are about his inane statements like “Elvis was the greatest singer that ever lived!” I mean what does he know?
November 10th, 2024 at 13:28And to round things off, two more people who can’t really judge a singer, can they? 😎
https://www.elvis.com.au/presley/led-zeppelin-robert-plant-elvis-presley.shtml
https://www.goldradio.com/artists/queen/rare-1975-footage-elvis-jailhouse-rock/
None of this means that you have to like his voice, Karin, I don’t like John Bonham’s drum style either – no matter his or LZ’s popularity. But I’m not denying the impact he has had on generations of drummers nor that he had a very individual approach to drumming.
November 10th, 2024 at 14:02@30
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion! (Even Ian G! ☺️)
This is quite interesting:
“Along with the rest of DEEP PURPLE I once had the chance to meet Elvis. The rest of the guys went along, but I couldn’t stand seeing my hero after he’d changed so much. Those early records are still incredible, though. They can re-mix them and make them hits for the younger generation, and Elvis will always be the King. The reason is simple: He was the greatest singer that ever lived.”
Well it’s interesting because I would not have any problems at all meeting Ian G, so it has nothing at all to do with age, it has everything to do with “selling out”, which EP did!
Maybe Ian G and the rest of you find EP to be the greatest singer, but he certainly only was that of a short period of time, his youth! While Ian G still is an amazing singer (just read all the reviews!)(in my head Ian G is the very best singer.)
You wrote earlier that the most of us remember EP in his later years, and I guess you’re right about that! And actually when I hear those earlier recordings all I see in my head is this overweight bloke in a white jumpsuit throwing his sweaty scarfs out to the fainting women!
He needed some self awareness! But I guess he threw that away in the search for the $$ 😟
And by this, I stop here with my ramblings, and continue to read all your lovely comments in here! It’s a marvellous place to be 😍
November 10th, 2024 at 15:28@30
Sorry, I forgot this (and then I’m really done with this subject 😉)
As I read Ian Gillan’s words here, he seems to be as a very humble man, that would never ever sing one’s own magnificence and praise!
He never does you know, always praise other people and in concerts (dvds) it’s so obvious how he gladly let his band mates get the glory and willingly steps aside when he isn’t singing, f.e in ‘Live in Anaheim’ in the number with the multilingual aristocrat that moonlights as a locksmith.
And now: watching the great and old movie Ladyhawk with the German actor Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer ☺️
November 10th, 2024 at 15:41It’s probably difficult to envisage today how much Elvis’ premature death in 1977 at age of only 42 struck the musicians community born from the mid-40s to early 50s, his appearance in the 50s had been widely identified with the end of the culturally grim post-war period and as the beginning of a new era, he was a cultural signpost. That is why there are so many songs about him by other artists from that generation:
https://youtu.be/2oliMOPsXis
https://youtu.be/0VTcBO4q5kY
https://youtu.be/gOJTKpzqk6M
https://youtu.be/dLxpNiF0YKs
https://youtu.be/Eaf_J1HjVAI
The Chicago song has a touching story to it: It was written and sung by Jason Scheff (the man who followed Peter Cetera in Chicago as bassist and lead singer) about his dad Jerry who was Elvis’ bassist and musical director:
https://youtu.be/QyL1AIrqNmc
It tells how chuffed Jason was as a boy when he first saw his dad on TV with Elvis, deeming him “bigger than Elvis”. When he recorded the song, he asked his dad to play the bass, but did not play the vocal track to him nor tell him about the song’s subject. That only happened at his dad’s birthday later when he heard the song he had played on in full the first time – and of course some “father & son” tears flowed.
Let’s not forget the more recent tribute by Miley Cyrus’ dad:
https://youtu.be/T2grLXJqE6U
That will not only have Charmin’ Karin, but also the Honorable Gregster recoil in horror given one of the backing singers who acoustically reveals himself in no uncertain terms (as is his notoriety) at o3:28! 🤣 Even he thinks that Elvis is “still the King” btw.
November 10th, 2024 at 20:26@31 & 34
I’m off to sleep actually, just need to say this:
Oh man! If I ever get in trouble I sincerely hope I’ll have someone like you to defend me and sing my praises (should there be any) because I could almost get away with murder (not that I ever would want to kill anyone) and never get sentenced 🥰
November 10th, 2024 at 22:45(It’s a gross exaggeration about murdering anyone, just to put things into perspective 😉)
Ian was probably the first to dedicate a song to Elvis after his death.
November 10th, 2024 at 22:52By the time Elvis was in Las Vegas, he was a drug addict and alcoholic and no longer in control of his life or his career. Manipulated by his manager Colonel Parker, the Las Vegas residency was supposed to replace touring the world, something Elvis would have preferred. In his last decade, very few decisions made were his.
November 10th, 2024 at 23:50@ 32 I quote: …”EP to be the greatest singer, but he certainly only was that of a short period of time, his youth!”
Karin, EP was great all the way down to his untimely death. In his later years he sure didn’t look as good as before (have we witnessed a little body shaming here, comin straight outta Danmark tststst…?) but his singing had even gained feel. He had gone through a divorce, the death of his beloved mom, loniliness and many other tragedies. He seeked comfort and inspiration in books about the meaning of life, he was addicted to pills he had been given to lose weight (because he was addicted to food as well, maybe a result of his youth in poverty, but that is just Küchenpsychologie as we say in German … hobby psychologist at work) and his recordings from the 70s move me to tears. All the pain and all the glory of his religious beliefs, his will to entertain and comfort the crowd, his well documented generosity … voilà un homme!

November 12th, 2024 at 08:10@38
No no, NO, no body shaming at all from me! Just saying how I remembered him when I was very young!
Actually I’ve never known the background for his life, had I known, I wouldn’t have said those words!
Do have to admit though, I still don’t appreciate EP’s voice, it’s too much sugar for my taste.

November 12th, 2024 at 11:52Vivi Bak!? Oh boy, I have forgotten all about her 🫣 but yeah she was something wasn’t she?
She married Dietmar, a German gentleman I presume.
I remember she had a fling with a Danish actor, Otto Brandenburg.
Uhum, Dietmar Schönherr was Austrian, my dear. For historical reasons

November 13th, 2024 at 00:22When his daughter made that posthumt song with him, I heard journalists whispering: “now even the dead are safe anymore to make an extra buck of” (not my saying, I’m only quoting ☺️)
Yeah the fake ‘hologram’ thing, unbelievably embarrassing or what. The Elvis one they did years ago & then we had Ronnie being ‘born again’ for a short while. As that saying goes, ‘no rest for the wicked’. At least Uwe is starting to mention decent vocalists here now, it took him a while, he he he! Should we start to use one of Uwe’s favourite words here in relation to certain singers, saccharine. No I don’t look at it like that at all. I do like sweet, not in my coffee though & much better than sour, although that can be a fine line at times. Cheers.
November 14th, 2024 at 01:53@46
It certainly didn’t go well with us 😝 (the hologram thing that is)
Yeah saccharine is an ok word, but tons of sugar squeaks in my teeth, whereas saccharine has a completely different outcome, so to speak!
By the way, I could give you a long lecture of why a little sugar is way better than any of the sugar substitutes, but I have a feeling nobody in here is interested at all 😄
I really like Sweet, the band that is! And my coffee needs to be strong and bitter with a little splash of milk.
November 14th, 2024 at 10:47I find that all sugar substitutes taste “hollow”, sugar is not just a sweetener it is an aroma. And you can’t approximate that aroma, only the sweetness. Eat a cheesecake made with saccharine or some other sugar substitute and you’ll know the difference – yuck!
I drink coffee, espresso and cappuccino all unsweetened (but real full-fat and lactose-drenched milk – I hate the taste of lactose-free milk – in coffee is fine). With black tea, however, I like some sugar. Curious, but probably the way I was brought up.
I find that hologram stuff unsettling and creepy – don’t even like it with ABBA.
November 14th, 2024 at 16:02@48
Oh nooooo, all that ABBA phoney was dreadful! I agree with you wholeheartedly!
And again, I will point out that artificial sugar is not healthy! And I know all the health freaks (sorry if there should be any of such among us here 😘) will scream out: SUGAR IS PURE POISON! (again: sorry, I don’t wanna put you down, just the mere misunderstandings🤗)
Yeah, I will reply, so is water if you drink 5 litres in one take, your body will collapse! And you will die…
The code word here must be: moderation!
A little sugar is good and gold for the body!
And now I will just mention, for my own sake before Svante raise his index finger at me: Deep Purple is not good in moderation! They are supposed to be enjoyed all day if anyone should want to 😉

November 15th, 2024 at 01:10Sugar is a food ingredient we are genetically disposed to like for evolutionary reasons. In the wild, anything that tastes sugary is generally not poisonous, but edible. All plant-eaters and omnivores like the sugar taste, it signifies non-poisonous and calorie-rich food.
Sugar substitution is just a way of fooling your genetic disposition.
And like with most things, too much of it is not good for you. But declaring it a poison is biological and evolutionary nonsense. Tell that to a grizzly bear feasting on the honey of a bee hive.

November 15th, 2024 at 02:09@51
November 15th, 2024 at 07:31So – we agree?
@ 50 – poor ole Ronnie, he would be spinning John. At least his image looks ok as he came from that ‘crooner’ era. If he heard his lyrics like this surely that would be dire for him. He removed himself as far away as possible from his previous vocal genres when in Rainbow, especially with Rising. It is rather amusing to hear Tarot Woman & others lyrically, it doesn’t work at all. And guess what that will invoke. Uwe will jump on this big time, he CANNOT discipline himself. Cheers.

“@51
So – we agree?”
Well … yes, I couldn’t avoid it, Karin. 😎 Though generally, immediate agreement with women is just as haphazard as disagreeing with them. If you give in immediately (tantalizingly the economic choice knowing full well what the outcome has to be in any case), that will be held against you as disinterest or not having listened to the question properly. If you don’t agree, that can of course only be a first step on the path to full revocation and submission. So my recommendation is: Feign initial disagreement, but then switch sides, that always flatters them and the worst you will likely hear is: “Why do I always have to argue, why not agree with me at once?!” Ja, mein Schatz, du hast wie immer recht!
Herr MacGregor, I don’t quite agree, a bit of the late 50s/early 60s crooner

Ronnie singing with Nile Rodgers/Chic! And it doesn’t sound bad at all.

I lived at Sjælland as a little girl, born there actually, and every night I watched Sesam Strasse, and loved it!
It taught me something very valuable!
2+2=4
So if you want happiness, invest some 😉
If you prefer to be like Pat Benatar’ “Love is a battlefield” ‘s approach then by all means never listen.
How did CRJ get TH in this video?
