The story behind the song with the most overplayed guitar intro by non-players


Just more R&R trivia I found interesting.

The making of Deep Purple's Machine Head: "Smoke On The Water only made it onto the album as filler" (yahoo.com)

I've never read the complete story behind Deep Purple's SOTW.

51 years, and Machine Head remains at play VERY LOUD status.

"Highway Star" and "Space Truckin" still impossible to play with volume knob lower than 12:00 o'clock!

Assume you have probably already seen/heard this (I'm not a DP fan, though I've seen them live a few times opening for other acts).
