Enjoy!
Yes, I agree. Ian Paice has a less passionate personality but if we consider the pure skills for instance he's better than Bonham. John on the other hand is more creative in my opinion.While I can't call myself a serious Deep Purple fan, I'd be a fool not to acknowledge the excellence of Paice's drumming. Bonham, understandably, is the subject of never-ending praise and analysis, but Paice should be right up there with him in many ways. To me, the measure of a drummer's greatness is his irreplaceability. Paice has always fit that bill in my mind.
I cant disagree with this. I was a Deep Purple fan long before a Zeppelin fan. By the time I got to Bonham, Paice had already blown me away completely. Bonham was just an added bonus.Yes, I agree.

Ah yeah, Deep Purple Mk. I definitely deserves more love than it gets. Emmaretta's on their self-titled album, which did very poorly in the US because their record label went bankrupt.
In Rock is still easily my favorite album of theirs.
I remember I got Burn when I was still living at home in my early 20's, she had never heard it before but I was playing it and she really liked it and asked who they were (probably not recognizing the singer wasn't Rod Evans or Ian Gillan). Kind of a funny moment.
I wish they'd do a mark III reunionish (obviously Jon Lord wouldn't be there) Coverdale and Hughes have still got it. Coverdale still does Burn/Stormbringer
