Shades of Purple

Sign in to disble this ad
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.
