Deep Purple How did they get their name

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968.[3] They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock,[4][5] but their musical approach has changed over the years.[6] Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.[7] Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the “unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid- seventies“.[8] They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as “the globe’s loudest band“ for a 1972 concert at London’s Rainbow Theatre[9][10] and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. #deeppurple #rock #hardrock #s #ritchieblackmore #heavymetal #classicrock #music #jonlord #ianpaice #iangillan #blacksabbath #ledzeppelin #metal #rogerglover #guitar #rocknroll #pinkfloyd #smokeonthewater #rockmusic #glennhughes #rockandroll #davidcoverdale #iro
