Things that Deep Purple did not do or failed to accomplished


INFINITE could be the last one and the possibility of retirement is near. Many fans could be saying "I wish they did or accomplishef this or that before the END".

1) DP did not have a 'number one' album in the USA, with the last album only reaching #105, I believe this could been higher, maybe this is a 'karma' of what they did to Ritchie in Hall of Fame induction and stopping David and Glenn from performing, I think Coverdale is bigger than Gillan in the US.
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot and many others have reached the top of the chart.

2) DP did not create a "concept album", a good concept would be the story of "Johnny's Band". emoticon Here are some of the bands who did create concept albums and at least they tried.
DREAM THEATER - Metropolis Pt. 2; GREEN DAY - American Idiot; IRON MAIDEN - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son; JUDAS PRIEST - Nostradamus; DIO - Magica; KISS - The Elder; RUSH - 2112 & Clockwork Angels & Hemispheres & Power Windows; QUEENSRYCHE - Operation Mindcrime; SCORPIONS - Humanity Hour I; BLUE OYSTER CULT - Imaginos; PINK FLOYD - The Wall; THE WHO - Tommy; and many many many many others.

3) DP did not create or recorded "covers albums", though I think the good time for this would have been 2008 when they lack creative ideas. They did some covers like 'It'll Be Me" and "Roadhouse Blues".
ROLLING STONES - Blue & Lonesome; RUSH - Feedback; DEF LEPPARD - Yeah!; METALLICA - Garage Inc; AEROSMITH - Honkin on Bobo; GUNS N' ROSES - Spaghetti Incident; SCORPIONS - Comeblack; STYX - Big Bang Theory; WHITESNAKE - Purple Album; and many many more.

4) DP was not able to create a real "double album", I think it would be awesome to have one. Here are some of the bands who did it.
METALLICA - Hardwired; IRON MAIDEN - Book of Souls; JUDAS PRIEST - Nostradamus; DREAM THEATER - Six Degrees & Astonishing; GUNS N' ROSES - Use Your Illusion; LED ZEPPELIN - Physical Graffiti; RHCP - Stadium Arcadium; NINE INCH NAILS - Fragile & Ghosts; FOO FIGHTERS - In Your Honor; EAGLES - Long Road Out of Eden; THE CLASH - London Calling & Sandinista!; and many many more.

5) Well correct me if I'm wrong. They did not reconcile with Ritchie. 😭

6) Gillan and DP performing with DC, GH, JLT and RB.

What about you? What do you think?

Re:


1) No wonder. Their roots are English, not American.

2) Their music was their concept, they didn't need another one.

3) The first two albums had mainly covers.

4) It's not about quantity.

5 and 6) No comment, it would lead to the ol' well-known arguments anyway.

Re:


1.) Maybe that issue is in America and not in Purple music? emoticon

2.) Absolutely no problem...

3.) There are / were artists which were made and destined to do covers and were DAMN great in that (Joe Cocker for example).... and then there are artists where cover album would be waste of time and talent - and that´s DP´s case. It´s completely fine to add "cover" as some sort of bonus for record, but thank god DP never got into stuff ala Whitesnake´s horrifying worthless redundant crap called Purple Album. Overall WS discography without that album would look better than with that. It should have never been released.

4.) No problem.

5.) + 6.) Why would they? For the first you need two sides and AFAIK the relationship between DP and Ritchie are stabilized on neutral level. Performing with former members needs one thing - correct attitude of former members too, therefore accepting that they are part of band´s past and not presence or (at this phase of career probably just few years long) future. Jon did that in very elegant way and they never had issue to perform with him. They never had an issue to perform with Satriani. Guess why?

They succeeded in being my favorite band of all time and that is all that matters to me.

Which former member has a problem with that? JLT certainly, perhaps Glenn Hughes in a certain way. But the guy who left in 1993 doesn't have a problem with that at all. He doesn't identify with the name DP any more, lately he even didn't when he was in.

How about Ritchie´s legal actions from 2013? Forgot about them?

Re: Things that Deep Purple did not do or failed to accomplished



1. Purple were huge on two separate occasions in the US (MKII and MKIIa) and proceeded to blow it. They have been an irrelevance in the US since the JLT debacle, ironic as this was the idea of JLT to bring MOR success from the US market. Self-inflicted.
2. No need for a concept album. Some bands are good at them; Purple clearly did not feel that this was their forte.
3. Good, these are ridiculous ideas for bands that are looking to fulfil a contractual obligation or are short of ideas. The dreadful WS Purple album is proof of this.
4. Again, they clearly saw no need or no market for a double album. Almost always a good single album bulked up with outtakes etc. although of course there are some fantastic double albums.
5. It doesn’t appear so.
6. Not going to happen, I wouldn’t spend too much time worrying about this. DP and DC,GH,JLT and RB are all well past their best. Let them all do what they wish to do without a “gala night” to destroy their credibility further. They all seem to be happy doing what they are doing.

In Rock and Deepest Purple didn't chart in the top 100 and still are gold and platinum records. In the US.

How many bands did a "concerto" album with music written for it by themselves?

Made in Japan is possibly the greatest live album of all time!?

How many bands have a following in practically the whole world? And have toured all over the world?
