Have liked this since I heard it for the first time covered at a teen dance in 1969 or 70.

In fact, that whole album floored me when it came out and IMO is one of the greatest "comeback" albums of all time.
And FWIW Ian Paice is criminally underrated as a drummer. | I agree. I think that happens when the other guys in the band are Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and John Lord.... |

Highway Star - chromatics - love it.
Smoke On The Water - kind of a cliché but nice bass line... |

IMO he's really quite average. His rhythm is sloppy at best and lazy at worst, and his tone has never done it for me at all. On top of which he's reputed to be quite a D-bag.
To his credit though, he has come up with some of the most memorable rock riffs of all time. |

I'll throw in another vote for "Maybe I'm A Leo". Govt Mule did a great cover of this with Roger Glover on the "Deep End" project.
