Shades of Purple

Spent the entire weekend listening to old Deep Purple records (I'm more of a Sabbath Fan for Geezer) but it seems I have overlooked Roger Glover and based on what I heard this weekend is one hell of a solid player...(Spent the last hour learning Highway Star!!!!)

Thoughts anyone else?

I really like Roger Glover--he really got me into bass when I first started out--machine head has some awesome bass work!

I was also a fan of Nick Simper, the bass player for the first 3 records

Yeah... his tone in MACHINE HEAD, specially the one remixed by him is one of my favorite bass tones recorded... I also like Glenn Hughes' playing...

Glover definitely set the bar for that angry Ric sound. Hughes is no slouch, either. Soul Mover is in regular rotation here.

You guys speak my language!

Glover & Hughes are two of my faves!
