What Can I Say?

Alongside Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath, Deep Purple Is One Of The True Pioneers Of Heavy Metal.... Well, Sometimes Its A Shame To See That (Literally) All Major Giants Of The 60's Are Sleeping In The Hall Of Fame! Why Not Deep Purple? I Would Love The MKII Lineup Over There!

I Mean, Seriously, If There Were No Deep Purple, Then There Seriously Wouldn't Have Had Been Those Amazing Bands From The 70's & The 80's We All Love! Deep Purple Really Gave Meaning To The 60's And Sometimes I Wish I Were Born Somewhere Near The 40's So That I Would See Them Live Back In The 60's & Early 70's...... Ah! Nevermind, We Have YouTube! LOL!

What Can I Say?

The Name Speaks For Itself! I Mean, Metallica May Have Started Thrash Metal But Its Megadeth Who Bought It To Even Higher Fame....

Two Of The Most Sick Guitarists We Ever Have!

It's VIRTUALLY Impossible To Change The World With Your Very First Album... Actually It's Not! Jimi Hendrix Did That Waaay Back In 1967 With Are You Experienced? Well, All I Can Say Is That History Repeated Itself 20 Years After When Guns 'N Roses Released Appetite For Destruction In 1987!

Apart From Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Cream And Countless Others, We Also Saw One Of The Most Greatest Friendships In History: Slash & Axl Rose!

I'm Not Talking About The Wanna-Be Post RHCP Funk-Rock Bands! I'm Talking About THE Funk-Rock Band That Is Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Now, As A Kid Growing Up In The 90's, All I Had To Listen To Was Linkin Park, Slipknot & In Flames (And That Was The Time When I Wasnt Properly Exposed To Metallica And Everyone). So, If I Wanted To Listen Something More Funky And Bearable, What Should I Do?

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS! CRANK UP THAT VOLUME!

Notable Hits: Californication
Scar Tissue
Dani California
Snow
Hump De Bump
Under The Bridge
Stadium Arcadium

Blood, Sex, Sugar, Magik
