Great review Nick....Also a big Purple Fan and i have to admit that McBride was maybe one of the best decisions they made! I really really enjoy every song with him- really lookin' forward to the album....great singles so far....Who would've thought that they open a "new chapter" in 2024...unbelievable...love that band!!! Greets from germany

Finally, real music. DP rocks, and always will. These people are alien, not from this world.

Great analysis Nick (as always). Love these reaction videos you've done for the last 3 Purple singles. Deep Purple still kicking ass in 2024. Love it.

Another great video, Nick. What a sick song; love that first min-bridge and how they extend it the second time around, plus... just two choruses! Who says you have to keep repeating those to get an ear worm. All this and two guitar solos and two keyboard solos, all in less than 4 minutes. What a band.

WOW! Fantastic music from a great British band! 🎸🎤

Great job reacting to a wonderful song

Great reaction. Great track

we all have days like in the words of the song ! DP still Kings of rock (-:

Thanks, this is a very lovely song, brings fun

Beautiful song🤘 Super band 📻🎧🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻🎤🎵🎶🎼🌐🌏🌎🗺

Glad Ian kept to his current range and ability

Fantastic song and still as quintessentially Purple as anything from Ritchie's days in the band. What impresses me is that they still tour and put out new albums and aren't just resting on their laurels and past glories. As sad the reasons were for Steve Morse to leave the band they have a top notch replacement in Simon McBride.

Great work🤘👌 thank you for this song analyse. Deep Purple are better and better in this Time.🎸🎹🤩

great song!!!!

Awesome video and this song swings and makes you smile because the musicianship is top shelf🇨🇦🤜🏻🤛🏻🇬🇧💥🤘

Hi Nick, that keyboard intro bit that you thought sounded like it was from the "In Rock" album, is actually reminiscent of "Mandrake Root" from the first album, "Shades Of Deep Purple". 💜🎵🎶🎶🎶. Also, that groove, or shall we say the drums(?), reminds me of "Strange Kind Of Woman". 💃🏻 🥁🎸🎹

Gracias por tu reacción!! Adoro a éstos viejos 🥰. Para mí, Gillan y Deep Purple son amores de toda mi vida!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Although Jazz is my first love, I've always been a Deep Purple Fan. It was my favorite band in my teen years, the 1970s. I stopped paying attention to Rock and Roll in 1985 when I stopped playing music for a living. I haven't bought very much new Rock at all since then. But, I actually love the latest lineup of Deep Purple enough to buy an actual Rock album. I loved Jon Lord's Organ as much as Blackmore's guitar, even though Tenor Saxophone is my main instrument. Looks like your reaction video sold me enough to subscribe! Will check out more of your videos.

Шикарная песня. Очень понравилось. Спасибо Вам тёмно - лиловые. Живите долго.

I don't understand the negative comments below. This is the freshest DP have sounded in years. I love your breakdowns of the three releases from the forthcoming album, which I have ordered. If makes me appreciate all the nuances of the playing and the great chemistry there is between the musicians. For many years I thought "Without Ritchie and Jon" DP can't really be DP" but I was wrong. Don and Simon have got beautiful styles of playing and well compliment the original members. There is a retro vibe but also something new and this is a real achievement. I last felt this good about a band when I heard the Rolling Stones' "Hackney Diamonds", the best thing they have done in years. Have DP and the Stones been taking Viagra because I feel young just listening to their latest songs. PS - I first discovered DP in 1974 and the first gig I went to was DP who were promoting "Come Taste The Band" with the late Tommy Bolin.

Yes, the riff remind me to: "Give Me All Your Love" (Whitesnake) and "Mean Streak" (1984), it's a good song!

Nice. Purple still rocks

In recent years i turned myself into enjoying much much much more a bands recent music rather than their old classics. i think that the musicians over the years are becoming much much better and they produce absolutely amazing music long live DP 💓💓💓💓

Don has had the A100 up on those two blocks for many years, pretty much since he switched from Jon's C3 to those Hammond Store A100's briefly after he joined Purple.

Thanks for the review Nick, i reckon every song of the upcoming album is marvellous, and the sound is fantastic, like a treat for your ears. I am glad that Gillan still hitting the notes, although not all of them surely. The band sounds tight all in all. Greetings from Russia! 🇷🇺

I enjoy your insights to the Hammond/keyboard work. I am so ready for July 19th.

Nice review Nick, Ik like the way you do. Since my 11th birthday a very big fan of Deep Purple. Went 15th of juli 60. OMG time is flying. And they where guilty I started playing the Gitar. So still a big fan of them and rock music with a Hammond. And I love the way al members playing there instruments like masters. See also YOUSTN a Hammond player of 77 years.

Lovely. Fantastic. Indeed. Best of the three this one and they´re all really good. Have a feeling, that this will be best DP album since 1984... Fingers crossed.

Great fun watching these reactions Nick. All three new Purple songs are great and kind of representative of their different styles. Really looking forward to the album. Only 9 days to go! 😊

Intro riff is the slightly changed Whitesnake's 'Fool for your loving'. 😂

Cracking song and l love Simon's playing. He's absolutely nailed the feel for a classic Deep Purple style and sound. Subtle nods to Ritchie's licks back when they were cementing the unique Deep Purple sound ?. Brilliant !......l'm 16 again !..deffo on the shopping list

In the 70s & 80s , DP was one of my top five, along with Yes, Uriah Heep, Rush & Black Sabbath.

Que temazo por dios larga vida a DEEP PURPLE!!!

As great as anything from the 'In Rock' days of 1970!

I have followed Deep Purple since 1969 when I was 16 and seen them many times and for me they are still the best sounding band from that era of rock bands

Once upon a time there was a band called Deep Purple.

Encore un titre pour la postérité...que dire.....ils sont encore là....... superbe....❤❤❤

Howdy! I'm Nick from Moscow , Russia. Just subscribed😉 Like you Nick and many others, I'm lookin' forward to listening to the whole album. I suppose it's gonna be FANTASTIC! I don't know about Simon Macbride-maybe i'll get used to his style before long, but I still regret Steve's leave cuz he was, is and will be one of my favourite guitar players! But things've changed-we''ll see. Many thanks for great the video and analysis👌👍🙏🤝

Love your reaction! Love this song! Sounds simple, but is sophisticated!

55+ years of experience how to structure a song - I love how you start headbanging at around 2:10 and the "language"-smile you crack around 2:30. This song is my current earworm.

Roger still has the blues beat. He doesn't play super fast notes like the old days. Very much Deep Purple. IT'S FRICKIN GREAT!~!~!!! Good review mate.

Great new song and a great review! Many thanks. I’m an old Deep Purple and Jon Lord fan. All respect to Don Airy, who manages to fill these enormous shoes. Also loved the Ken Hensley inspired part of his solo. This new line up with McBride is great.

wow wow wow...DP is back -soo nice i love it!!!

From what I have heard it's much more back to Blackmore era writing style.

I’m loving’ it, great organ part, love the riff 👍

Sounds like the good old D.P. I grew up with 70s & 80's.

Great review of the latest by Purple, Nick! This video shows why Don Airey is my favorite Hammond player! Just incredible playing by the entire band, not to mention iconic vocals by Ian Gillan! Love it!

Great great song!!!

All 3 songs are fantastic and they still rock as the best. Of course the words written by Ian are also always very beautiful and special.

love this new song. Looks like old Purple!

I love it! ❤️

New single super ROCK group DEEP PURPLE 📻🎸🎹🎻🎤🎵🎻🎼🎶 -------- 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great job!

I liked this one. There's a couple of years without good music from Purple.

just found you. Enjoyed the breakdown

Fantastic!

Thumbing my Google feed and this came up!! I thought 🤔 I'm sure I know that dude!! Bloody hell it's Nick Foley!!!! Obvs subscribed😊 great review!! Hope you're all good!! :-)

I really like this. The song is crisp, tight, excellent arrangement, excellent performance from everyone. Is it me or is big Ian sounding the best he has in many years? I have been following Purple since 1968. The sound is very reminiscent of mk2 from the 1970s. I See Simon is using Engl amps which Ritchie switched to in the 90s. I like how Don did a little quote from Jon in his solo (from Jon's live work). I wasn't sure if Purple should continue after Steve left. But, my doubts have been put to rest. Purple is rocking! Ezrin has done it again. He really is a good fit for Purple. He knows how to get the best out of them. (I like that Paicey is using the Deep Purple logo from the early 70s on his bass drum). Can't wait for the album release.

I know it's different, but it sounds like "Mean Streak" from Perfect Strangers to me.

Awesome song! Made me smile big!

Classe pura !

Hi Nick. I actually have a question, not sure if this is the correct place. I bought a used Hammond XK-5. They keys at the top "C, C#, D, D#" (under the percussion) are very loud. It's as if there's no cushioning under the keys. If I play softly, I don't notice, but if I put a moderate amount of weight into my playing, it's very loud and the keys bang against the keybed. I'm in Sydney, Australia, where there are seemingly no organ specialists. Is this issue normal for a Hammond? Should I be concerned? Is it ok to open up the Hammond and look inside? Thank you kindly. I love your channel.

Great video about great song ! Thanks!!!!

Great song

Your commentary is spot on

The EP is Fantastic!!! Sounds like the old Purple...Best stuff they have done in a long, long time!!!!!

Thanks Nick you always explain the real Deep Purple...bye teacher from CDMX MEXICO...

Wonderful! 🤘

Thanks Nick , id love to get some analysis on a classic track as well,maybe demons eye . Break down some of Lords and Blackmores solos . See how they compare .

Cool song. I like it

This new song immediately reminded me of the flavor of the Gillan band….finally a hard blues song with non-obvious passages, as only Deep Purple can do, and they haven’t Ian Paice sets his drums on fire like I haven’t heard since Abandon done for years!! great performance by Don, but the small passage of chords he makes to connect the verse to the bridge is something he has already played in several previous Deep songs, perhaps he could have "hided" it a bit with a different arrangement...or that The harmony came from someone else's pen, but still overused in the viola repertoire of recent years.

Thanks, great video, love your Uriah Heep comment, it`s really true, Don sounds like Ken Hensley there.

Hello I’m from the 3rd rock from the sun Rygel 4 and we are Deep Purple games here. We give the new album 8 zarion glots and 10 Big zygkits 🆙

I like to remember this band as they were the song is ok

I think that old KB riff you're thinking off is Mandrake Root.

It sounds a bit like the riff from "fool for your loving"

Geriatric Rock, rocks.

A really well done song and the guitarist is great for his solos. My one criticism is that the older looking guys in the band do little to convince me that they are revved up and burning with passion. They look cool with the leather, but there are no crazy antics that would suggest an attitude of defiance or aggression. Another irony is that the song travels around a lot with its arrangement, but I can't think this is the work of a lazy sod. It's too busy and precise to be born out of laziness (though I thought I'd hear a passing reference to their old song Lazy). Maybe there is a self-flattery in the band's mind that this song really reflects the laziness of the band and that if they really did work at it, this song would pale in comparison to the new non-lazy version. I see you reaching over behind you and playing along effortlessly, so I'm not thinking this song is that much of a challenge. Possibly it was born out of laziness. Who knows! And God knows how the audience might see it. Overall, it's a decent rock song. I'm impressed with the guitarist mostly and that the older rocks are looking that good for their age. Incidentally, there is that keyboard part that sounds like YES. I don't know why they would bring that in when they had their old song, Lazy? Maybe they were too lazy to do Lazy?

Am I totally confused if I let my mind wander to Mad Dog?

Bravo lads, amazing work especially with one foot in the grave! Can't wait to see these old farts try to play rock music from wheelchairs.

I won't be spending any money for it.

Thanks for the analysis but In the age of wall to wall gynaecologically explicit rap music and as you say .. “spread legs” organs, .. “ass” ain’t worth a comment. It’s only, anything goes, post Zepp’ Rock and roll 🎸 but I like it 😀

Всё очень плохо.Саймон убивает группу!!!Я даже пока не планирую покупать этот альбом.А у меня есть всё!!

You couldn’t just listen to the song before you started messing around!

I love Deep Purple more than any other band (besides the Beach Boys) but I found the new single to be mid. It just doesn't rock. They are all incredible musicians, but the song is forgettable and lacks a hook. Really, all of their new stuff since Bananas has been smooth around the edges.

I miss Morse.

I didn't like it personally. Gillan's voice is far too overproduced here. He should hang up the mic. They're legends, no doubt about it, but you have to know when to leave the stage.

They should have retired a long time ago.

NOT Deep Purple just a cover band.gillan cant sing and glover and paice are just making money off Ritchies name DP and songs. Without Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore its just a cover band ! They have gone through four or five guitar players to try to get someone to fill RB shoes and none have been close. And now with Jon Lord gone and Gillans failing voice its done !

Buongiorno, scrivo in Italiano, mi è piaciuta molto la tua analisi, da un musicista è sempre benvenuta. Direi che gli zii hanno fatto un grande brano, pieno di particolari che rimandano al passato ma con la sintesi moderna... adoro per esempio quell inserto di Don , mi ha fatto venire in mente Keith Emerson...il tutto supportato dal swing di Paice. Grazie.

Superlativo, dico bene sarà un cd eccezionale sono i depp purple. Simon Mcbride è superlativo

Я тоже большой фанат Purple, но я слышу, что с с 1975 года Deep Purple не выпустило не одной шедевральной пластинки и все их "новые" записи по сути перепевки старых хитов. А уж смотреть на них нынешних без слез невозможно. А может быть уже пора на пенсию?
