I thought that he played through a Marshall Stack or Half Stack...... Or did a he use a Marshall Amp to a Leslie? or both?
I love the GNARLY organ sound that Lord got!! Ken Hensley(Uriah Heep) might have gotten close to his sound.
I should have read further SD answered my question. |

| I developped a taste for deep purple during the last couple of years. My favourite song is child in time.
No one can beat Gillan's vocals.
I also consider Slaves and Masters to be a great album. Cut runs deep is a marvelous tune! |

They love long jams, which was far more popular in the 60s. I don't think most folks have the attention span for this any more, especially in the hard rock/metal music scene.

Speak for yourself, not all metal fans have short attention spans. I prefer bands that jam and improvise, duplicating your studio albums note for note in concert gets pretty damn dull after awhile.
Improvisation doesn't necessarily equal self-indulgence. ...yeah

| In Rock, Machine Head, Burn, Perfect Strangers and In the House of Blue Light are brilliant albums and are essential to your collection. You're probably listening to Stormbringer or something.
The band had a seminal influence on the forthcoming New Wave of British Heavy Metal and are stand as one of the creators of the heavy metal genre, not just in musical style, but also attitude. Huge PA's, eclectic guitar player, etc. all stem from the giant that is Deep Purple. |

| Speaking of Stormbringer, while not their best album I consider the title track a favorite of mine! |

| Stormbringer is definitely a grower. I found it disappointing at first, but ended up revisiting it a few months ago and now I love it
