Highway Star - 딥 퍼플(Deep Purple)

 

 

 

Deep Purple

 

 

 

딥 퍼플( Deep Purple )은 1968년 결성된 영국 출신의 5인조 하드록 그룹, 70년대를 풍미했던 전설적인 하드록 그룹으로 고출력의 헤비 메탈 음악을 잉태시켰다. 그룹 이름은 피터 드 로즈의 곡에서 따왔으며 한때 록의 메인으로 자리잡았던 하드록 사운드 절정의 시작이었던 그시기의 밴드들중 자타가 공인하는 소리의 볼륨에서의 최강자였다. 한때는 기네스북 공인의 '세계에서 가장 시끄러운 밴드' 비록 레드제플린에 비하여 세계적인 무대에서는 뒤진감이 있었지만 국내와 일본에서는 Ledzeppelin을 누루고 이들이 최고였다.  절대 맴버가 바뀌지 않았던 Ledzeppelin과는 달리 Deep Purple은 기수로 구분될 만큼 잦은 멤버 교체로 유명했는데 최고의 기타 리스트이자 리더 격이었던 Ritchie Blackmore의 독선이 그 주된 이유이었다. 그러나 초기에는 여러 리메이크들이 많았던만큼 이들이 색이 뚜렸하지 않았지만 권력의 축이 존 로드에서 리치 블렉모어로 옮겨가며 이들의 황금 시대가 열렸다. 또한, 1969년부터 밴드에 합류한  ' Ian Gillan'가 있었기 때문이다. 그러나  그들의 대변자라 할 수있는 'Ritchie Blackmore'가 탈퇴한 것은 결코 무시 할 수 없는 타격도 되었다.
