Roger is a "Monster"! Great musician, Bass player, arranger, composer and producer. The world won't have anymore bands like Deep Purple, alongside with they contemporaries. Greetings from Brazil to everyone!
Deep purple forever!!
Saw them many times,but my most memorable time was 1972 at Wolverhampton Civic hall.
Managed too shake Rogers hand.👍
Hard loving man has always been one of my favourites.
Thanks Roger.
In spite of his fame I don’t think anyone ever realised in full how GOOD a bass player Roger is.
LEGEND. Brilliant bassist song writer lyricist producer. All round top bloke❤
I was among the first members of DP’s fan club in 1973. I wrote to Simon Robinson, who set it up, to ask him if Roger had recorded his great “Butterfly Ball” album yet .. after leaving Purple in 73.
Roger came into the office as it was in the same building as the Purple Records office and he asked him. Roger signed a piece of paper for me and thanked me for asking. As a young teenager I was bowled over to get his signature through the post 😀
23 studio albums. No band has the varied back catalogue Purple has. A truly great band and incredibly .. they are underrated. Probably the best live rock band .. ever. I saw them on the Machine Head tour in 72. Still the best musical experience I have ever had.
First thing for my thinking is Ritchie guitar riffs. Icon of Rock.
Roger producer songwriter lyricist. When you listen to Rainbow down to earth, he wrote all those words. Except since you've been gone. An underrated baseplayer musician producer songwriter, one of the greatest of all time. The most humble person you ever meet.
I began listening to Deep Purple in 1972 after hearing Smoke On The Water on the radio,Machine Head was the first album I owned by them, then I began looking for other Purple albums,ended up getting Fireball,In Rock then Made In Japan,Who Do We Think We Are,then ran across Burn and thinking...Coverdale,Hughes?And nothing against them but Where are Gillan and Glover? then learned later they had left the band,then Blackmore quit Purple to form his own band Rainbow then Purple broke up later but reunited in 1984 and recorded Perfect Strangers I was glad to see Purple phase 2 together again.

DEEP PURPLE ÚNICOS E IRREPETIBLES 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
Roger please don’t ever downplay your genius.
Forever Legend 💜
Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
DP is my favorite band and Roger is my favorite member. Such a nice guy. Talked to him once after a concert and once at the NAMM show. I believe he's one of those "behind the scenes" guys who keeps everything running smoothly in the band.
Roger is always a gentleman and great musician I have one of his picks when I saw DP in wash.DC. In the nineties when they rocked the 9:30 club
Im listing to DP SINCE 1976
We also have Made in Japan, which is a real live recording - and to date one of the best live albums of all time :D
What a great guy! I've had the pleasure of meeting Roger a few times, and he is such a gracious man...and obviously one hell of a musician!!
That album was foundational to so much of what followed musically for me. It was a high bar standard of excellence that in many respects, has not been surpassed by many. When I hear any song from that album, I am immediately transported back to a lakeside campground where my family spent summer weekends throughout my teen years. On a neighboring plot lived a pair of college age boys who lived in a tent year round. They played three 8 track tapes exclusively during the summer of 1972, one of which was Machine Head. Because 8 tracks continue to play until stopped, we heard that album an untold number of times that summer. I never tired of hearing it then, and the same applies to this day.
Roger glover est un Monsieur dans le monde de la musique mais un mec qui sait rester humble et sans avoir des prétentions merci Roger pour toutes ses compositions musicales qui restent à jamais dans nos mémoires
Candid interview indeed 🎉
Such an eloquent interviewee. Many nuggets of wisdom here.
Roger Glover - what a lovely man. I have found myself saying this on so many occasions since first seeing him interviewed back on a Deep Purple Documentary called 'Heavy Metal Pioneers' in the very early 90s. Such a pleasure to hear his thoughts and recollections....looking forward to the new Purple album coming in July!
He remains so humble, but he wrote or heavily influenced so many Deep Purple songs. A well conducted interview, thank you!
🙏🏼
Eloquent and modest. Roger denegrates his immense talent. Isolate his bass lines and you appreciate how good he is, allowing others to flourish around him. Having watched him on stage numerous times, I can appreciate just how good he is and how much he enjoys playing to an audience. He is also always the last one off stage; he has a tremendous link to his audience; we love him.
Great interview : very nice !!!
Thank you. Have subscribed. Roger Glover is linked to both my fave bands, Mott the Hoople and (of course) Deep Purple. Before either band existed, Roger and Ian Hunter worked for the same publishers, Francis, Day & Hunter (no relation), writing would-be hits. Both ended up writing hits, but in a less formal setting. If they had formed a band, rock history would be very different.
Thank you
Roger, to his lasting credit, was the main writer of "In Rock", surely one of the greatest rock albums of all time and, in my opinion, still to be fully appreciated. Overly modest, he and Ian brought to the band the music-writing skills necessary to produce the distinctive original material that made DP so special. As a late-teenager I recall a huge rack of copies of Machine Head on display in store in 1972, in anticipation of their selling like hot cakes, which they did. (Personally, I've always found Machine Head rather harsh-sounding. Others will no doubt disagree.)
Great interview!
Isn't it 52 years now?
I wish they'd done a super extra mega deluxe version of "Perfect strangers" instead since it should be it's 40th anniversary in 2024. "Machine Head" has had several treatments like this over the years and I personally think it's time to lift the eyes to other Deep Purple albums especially the 80s and 90s stuff that seem almost forgotten these days...
Very good interview, you have the wonderful gift of letting the person speak, thank you.
🙏🏼
Machine Head was recorded in 71' and came out in 72' I believe, correct me if I'm wrong
Roger Glover is too modest. The first riff a guitar player learns is Smoke on the Water - but for a beginning bass player the song is very difficult.
Their legacy ended when Ritchie Blackmore left.
Your opinion
@@rlpd5218 Definitely. And millions of others.
