    Oh, Beethoven I don't like Deep Purple either, doesn't mean I don't like rock music.

    No. NO.

    You can't equate Beethoven and Deep Purple. You just can't. Beethoven (via Haydn, tbf) basically invented the concept of symphonic music. Yes, he was terribly German and sometimes had the subtlety of a housebrick to the temple, but he also created sheer, all-consuming cathedrals of sound that are some of - if not the - greatest moments of music in history.

    Deep Purple wrote Smoke on the Water.

    If you can listen to the culmination of the first movement of the Eroica or the second movement of his seventh without feeling emotionally wrung out, you are leetle beet the dead inside, I'm afraid.

    Or deaf. You might just be a bit deaf? Mind you, so was he.

    I was halfway between hungover and freshly drunk and several lines in.....I was watching the game but only just.

    Seriously, from 'subtlety of a house brick' onwards that is a ****ing great description of Deep Purple (Gillan era).

    Anyone who wants to have a go at Richie Blackmore is a massive, massive ****.

    Oh, dear.

    From everything I've heard about him, literally everyone he's ever worked with hates Blackmore - hence him changing bands every five minutes.

    Oh he may well have been a complete ****. I dont think Beethoven was a chap you would go for a beer with.

    Genius, all the same.
