Sweet memories... Beautiful and loving memories...

What a blessing that I'm allowed to experience this in my life. My big drum idol sits at his bar and tells us stories. Music (and especially from Purple) was always a big part of my life. In 1964 (at 18) I tried to form a band, but after 10 months I had to join the "Bundeswehr" and it was over with the "music career". Now with over 70 years under my belt, I started to learn drums again. And you can guess who is one of my great role models. Thanks Ian for the inspiration and the nice story.

Most down to earth guy you’ll ever find. True gentleman. I could listen to him forever. Nice that he enjoys his libations as well! 🍺

Ian is Purple !

So nice to hear a story about you and your dad. I’m sure he was very proud of you 🥁🎶

So great to hear these stories. Deep Purple was one of the main reasons i started playing as a kid, although i played bass then. I still do, but then bought my first drum kit at age 45 and I really love playing drums. Very often to Purple songs too. Looking forward to the next part of the story, thanks a lot for this! 👍

Great you're doing this, Ian. There are so many of us that want to hear from you and your experiences. Cheers.

fantastic shows Ian Pacie keep it up mate..

I am 59 now, spent my whole life learning how to master the masters' technique and feel and style!!! thanks ian xxx

I love hearing these stories. I hang on every word. I am 61 years old and Ian Paice was an enormous influence on my drumming since I was a young teenager!

That's a riot. I played in my Dad's dance band as a late teenager on bass. He also drank scotch and chased it with Miller beer. Good times. I miss the energy and uninhibited time of youth. Boy did I play a lot of notes back then.

Love you Ian. I have been gigging since the age of seven...In the bedroom on foot stools, my brother on guitar (5ft mini snooker table que) and we mimed to Made in Japan and many others...in character and with conviction! I play bass and guitar now, but Purple was, and always shall be, my doorway to music. Thank you

Lovely stories great memories.Thank you and thanks for being my favourite drummer for the last 40 odd years

Ian might discovered podcasts recently but he for sure discovered wine long long time ago 😀🥇

Thank you so much Mr. Paice for telling these stories! Greetings from Chile

So nice to listen to Ian's stories. Thanks Mr. Paice for dedicating this time to us locked away in our homes.

Love listening to these stories, please write a book. 🙏👍🤞

Ian, thank you soooooo much for doing these videos for us. I am sure we ALL really appreciate it. I wanted to meet up with you when you were in Austria last Autumn. I played a gig at the Keyboard Museum owned by Gert who I know two weeks earlier. It was a shame I missed you. Keep yourself safe and rock on! Jem ) Oh my photo is from the night of that gig. Gert is a great guy. Very dedicated. We spoke lots about you.

Thank You for these wonderful stories !!

Thank you for the wonderful stories Ian! I love your playing so much! ..Keep on rockin'

He has always been the best, for me you are like my brother, a big hug teacher, and you are also a great person, thanks for everything always

thanks Ian for this video I was very pleased to see it. above all it interested me because I'm a big fan of yours. very interesting

Thanks for this, Ian. Wonderful to hear your history with drumming. Great stories! :-)

Thanks, Ian! From a longtime fan! 🥁

Здоровья Вам,Йен!!! Любви и счастья!

What a great story about a father and his son. So nice. Thanks for sharing, cheerio!👍🥁🤩

I love you Master

Ian, It's a joy to hear these tales from someone who has attained so much in music and achieved the things you have. Please keep them coming as long as possible. Lockdown passes in a much more relaxed and joyful way through the reality as indicated in your tales. these anecdotes are much more interesting and fun than the fantasy portrayed in our mainstream "entertainment" media . All the best to you and yours.

Thanks for doing these Ian. Appreciate it.

Ian, you're priceless!

Great stuff. I think one of the best things about being a playing musician is the tales, trials & tribulations of some of these gigs that seem to stick in your memory for years. Then when you think back upon them, they are hysterically humorous. I love listening to these!

I could listen to this guy all night long!

Ian, please make that "DP covers album in big band style" happen! 2 questions : - What do you think about Queen and especially Roger Taylor, another Buddy Rich fan who always speaks so highly of you? - could you let us know more about that time with Gary Moore when you kind of "lose" your inner "drums clock"? Many thanks!

Wonderful to hear these stories. Thanks

Hi Ian! Thank you very much for these stories, I am truly intrigued by the life you guys lead. I played drums in a band about a million years ago (approximately), now I play guitar. But I would never have been good enough to make it properly, so it interests me with stuff like how much you practised, life on the road, relationships in the band, and so on... please keep doing these, they are fab!

Brilliant stuff,cracking stories👍🥁

I've got to day that it is absolutely wonderful listening to you and you letting us get to know you in away that would never happen otherwise. I look forward to more stories. Cheers from across the pond!

I'm loving this videos, thanks for sharing Mr.Paice!!!

Hilarious stories brother Ian! 😀

Love these

Best drummer and nicest guy In Rock 😎

Cheers Ian, best Rock drummer ever in my opinion..

Cheers, Ian! Thanks for running this channel, it gives me a good time.

Botlle of Salmiakkikossu behind there. Cheers from Finland.

Thank you for sharing those wonderful stories! I've had the pleasure of meeting you and the band several times and you are such a friendly and down to earth person. Thanks again for your advice regarding electronic drum kits (Roland). Haven't purchased yet, though did buy a drum pad. Looking forward to more of these videos.

These are great! Fan since Book of T came out - I won’t say how old I was. Latest music adds to the legacy very nicely, I’ve enjoyed every studio album, from Shades to Whoosh! Thanks for all the music !

Best man! Best drummer!

More More More!!! Part 3, Part 4, Part 5.... More!!!!

Great stuff sir...love your channel 💯

Ha ha, really funny story about the dancers in the buffet, great stuff !

Great to listen to can't wait to see purple again sometime.

ГЕНИЙ! (Один из пяти Гениев Золотого Состава)!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Write a book Ian! We’d love to read it.

BIG Ian!!

Laughin and laughin and laughin ... "Kids, don't drive your drunk parents home" !!!! :-D :-D :-D

Cheers!

Been using the promark 808s your model now for the past 7 yrs....love the sticks and the feel

What an amazing story!!! What it must have been like. If you're ever so inclined, I think we'd love to hear about your memories of The Maze/MI-5, and your introduction and joining of Deep Purple! Thanks very much for this incredible channel Ian!

Cheers Ian. 🍺

I am really enjoying "Tales from the Bar."

Ian played the solo, but it was those two dancing who did a Bonham job on the buffet.

Cheers.

Cheers🍀🍷

Time to write a memoir Ian!

I grew up on an album "Made in Japan". I cordially greet you

Raise a glass for Jon Lord!

Ян как я тебя уважаю

Я тоже люблю дринкнуть

Like many of us You have been our main influence- I still listen more to you than other drummers around.

Question if l may :) Thoughts on Billy Cobham from the Mahavishnu orchestra and their music?

Legendas em português please

Cin cin🤓🍷🍷

Hello ian. Do you still have all your drum sets? Regards from argentina! Maestro ian paice! dp ?! DP

An auto-biography perhaps?

Everything is Nice to hear 👂 story. About your life’s. and also you are number one for me on drums and drums all best from me ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great story Ian! My first drum solo was nowhere near as entertaining, just a frantic nervous mess when i was 15 :)

Is this Ian's house? Nice cool bar

Weird fact Blackmore also has his own bar but sadly i dont know if he and Ian have kept in touch after he went 27 years ago ? I'm guessing most of yhe band including Don Airey who worked with Ritchie in the past dont want to hear from him again? sorry to go off on a tangent ive been watching too much Mk2 on KZfaq lately 👍🎸

У нас без проблем кто хочет маски носить тот носит кто не не хочет носит в кармане

Mr. Paice, do you remember what drummer, after your generation, got your attention and made you think "wow, that's awesome"?

Dear Ian, it is indeed marvellous to listen to your stories and I also would love to hear and see you play with the Buddy Rich Big Band and DP Jazz cover band. (Could someone transcribe some of Richie's live solos to Tenor Sax, PLEASE? It would indeed also be wonderful to hear more of Ian Paice the "percussionist". Sometimes I wonder if you realize just how important your drumming was to the sound of DP... (I say this as a drummer and musician). It is rather sad however to see that so little value is placed on the early Deep Purple albums, in particular the eponymous one often called "April" in Germany. Sometimes I think Deep Purple created art and subtlety despite of itself and failed to appreciate it afterwards. April contained many such moments, "Chasing Shadows" with that beautiful double-paradiddle drum-"melody", being one of them. "Blind" with those wonderful lyrical drum breaks being another. The "April" Album is almost a precursor to the wonderful "Fireball" and one of the most diverse and original DP-Albums in my eyes. Perhaps if DP had realized more deliberately that diversity was it's strength rather than it's weakness it could have spared itself some rather unfortunate line-up charades and later formularization under the Richie Blackmore cult. The rough and tumble nevertheless worked until "Burn", each line-up change bringing new diversity despite Richie Blackmore's apparent intentions to force his will onto DP. Richie is a great guitarist but he ain't no "genius" (fancy seeing in funk nothing but "shoe-shine music"). And if any one feature "made" the sound of DP it was the guitar-organ duality that really fired the game (but only brought to really bounce, kick and groove by your drumming that stayed right on top of it and held it together at the same time. What a feat!) In my mind it was the very ability to blend various music styles like rock, classical, jazz, funk and blues into one unique individual style that "made" Deep Purple an international globally appreciated phenomenon. It shared this ability with some of the other super-groups of the age. This was a sign of the open minded times, of course, roughly falling into the period 1968-1973, which also was DP's most dynamic and original time. What a musical smorgasboard! Perhaps unparalleled in music history... But it all became boring when the band's different facets fell apart into separate "quarries" that were mined to exploit the art. That's how we got "Heavy Metal" and ever more formularized genres. The ART were sections like your two-minute duet with Jon Lord on "Space Trucking" on "Made in Japan". I still listen to this track with bated breath of which this section is the absolute highlight. How much more feather-light and heavy at the same time has noise ever been before and after??? I could have handled more of that kind of ART in the later years of DP... Kind regards and thanks for nevertheless supplying me with a life-time of high suspense arty "progressive" Rock Music. Frank

He looks like Mrs Doubtfire

А я также только водочки чётушку ну по простому чекушку ноль двадцать пять

Purple is in my top 3 bands. Ian Paice is waaaay up there with John Bonham and Bill Ward in my opinion my 3 fave drummers

Как надоели эти маски Фантомаски

The finest work ever done by Deep Purple was “Child In Time”. It is Deep Purple’s masterpiece!

Hi Ian hope you and your family are well , a few questions if you have the time i have often wondered how a drummer like yourself and Cozy Powell seem to ease into many bands,get on with the musicians,learn the whole back catalogue and then tour how do you do it ? can you play how you want or are there restraints ? do you prefer to play live or work in the studio ? How often do you practice ? do you still get the same pleasure out of playing drums as you used to ? have you ever played any other kits like Premier or Rogers ? whats the difference between Ludwig and Pearl ? finally at 55 years old i suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis in both hands and need surgery on both my knees so cannot play no more do you have any of these aliments after playing for so many years and if so how do you cope ? thanks for creating this channel stay safe

Cheers.
