I said it's obvious they have a big Deep Purple influence and sound and it has been noted in tons of reviews and recognized by the band itself repeatedly in interviews. You are free not to like them but if you can't hear the obvious Deep Purple component to their sound, it's because your ear is not particularly sharp. This isn't even a difficult test question; in any musician context where this comes up, Siena Root are routinely derided as being derivative of Purple. So sure, you can say, "to me they sound like the Mahavishnu Orchestra" if you like and that's perfectly fine but also perfectly out of touch with the reality of the musical facts. Iron Maiden always quoted DP as their biggest influence when they started, but sounded nothing like them. Kiss always said the Rolling Stones were their biggest influence, but come on!! The keyboard player sounds like JL (as indeed I said), but nothing else did. It is not a musical fact, it is an opinion, nothing else. However if it makes you feel better, and stop you stomping your feet, or questioning my hearing, I will agree they sound like Deep Purple reincarnated. If you think 'nothing' in Siena Root sounds like Deep Purple while ignoring that the guitarist apes Ritchie's sound on many tunes and even quotes entire melodies and riffs from him while doubling an organ, feel free. Also feel free to disagree with the overwhelming majority of the press both from and about the band. Like I said, there are facts but not everyone can perceive them accurately. I could say Sha Na Na sound just like Chick Corea too and it would be my opinion but it would also be incorrect and reveal me to have a tin ear much as you have just done about yourself.

Of course they aren't a carbon copy but Siena Root are well known as a hugely Purple influenced band around the world for good reason. They have also stated it plainly themselves. To hear these 2 tracks and argue they sound more like the Stones, the Crowes or the Doors... I have to agree about sounding like the Crowes some. The riff is similar to RBB sure. absolutely correct are we not allowed to disagree with you tribal? for sure the riff is a bit RBB like but the whole attitude and groove is very far from DP IMHO If you think those 2 songs reveal a group which is "very far from DP" then yes, you should have your hearing checked.nondisclosed_email@example.com (tribalfusion)Tue, 29 Oct 2019 19:22:49 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520164,from=rss#post520164https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520164,from=rss#post520164quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:tribalfusion wrote: It might be time for some of you to check your hearing if you heard those 2 tracks from Siena Root and think they don't sound extremely Deep Purple influenced.

It reminded me of The Doors vocally, or Uriah Heep musically. nondisclosed_email@example.com (leelyt)Tue, 29 Oct 2019 15:23:54 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520156,from=rss#post520156https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520156,from=rss#post520156I'm amazed at some of the replies here.

I remember when Purple split in 1976. No band came close to them but the closest one, to my ears, was the first 3 Nazareth albums. Loved them!! nondisclosed_email@example.com (doggone)Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:06:25 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520151,from=rss#post520151https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520151,from=rss#post520151quote:tribalfusion wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: I have listened to many of the band's mentioned in this forum, can't say that any of them reminding me of DP. Are you actually saying that you don't hear obvious Deep Purple influences in these bands? Why don't you tell me what you think this band sounds like for starters: Wow. If I am allowed an opinion I would say it sounds more like Humble Pie, maybe the stones and as others have mentioned, Black Crowes than DP. But that is only my opinion. nondisclosed_email@example.com (leelyt)Tue, 29 Oct 2019 08:38:45 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520147,from=rss#post520147https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520147,from=rss#post520147It reminds me of both DP and Black Crowes. Riff wise it's close to Rat Bat Blue indeed, song structure and vocal wise it's more BC to me. Sorry to those who don't accept more than one band to compare with. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Witchy Nightmare)Mon, 28 Oct 2019 21:06:47 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520146,from=rss#post520146https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520146,from=rss#post520146quote:tribalfusion wrote: quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:tribalfusion wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: I have listened to many of the band's mentioned in this forum, can't say that any of them reminding me of DP.

You actually think that sounds like the Black Crowes and not like Deep Purple? It could practically be an amalgam of Rat Bat Blue and several other Purple songs. I find it hard to believe a devoted Purple fan can't hear that but if so, your comments about Deep Purple in recent years make a lot more sense now. now now no need to get tetchy mate ,yes i can hear a bit of RBB in there but the overall feel of the song is far from DP and for me has a Black Crowes kinda vibe and vocally it sounds more influenced by Myles Kennedy than any DP vocalist.nondisclosed_email@example.com (lightintheblack0)Mon, 28 Oct 2019 21:06:21 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520145,from=rss#post520145https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p520145,from=rss#post520145quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:tribalfusion wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: I have listened to many of the band's mentioned in this forum, can't say that any of them reminding me of DP.
