Deep Purple - Machine Head. From baby-sitting money.

Thanks for the memory,. This took me back to when I was 16 or so.

I had never actually seen this video before. They didn't really have videos yet (or MTV) back then, or it was just dawning.

I have to think that the Band had its approval over this video. I really enjoyed it! Again, Thank You!

Really got over-played for a while. Still like it though. Thanks for posting it.

By the way, I think it's one of the most played by air guitar 🎸 out there.

....played wrong.
I can't tell you the numbers of times I've seen people play the main riff as barre chords.
Richie didn't even play chords, only intervals.
It's actually easier to play it the right way, so guys made it harder on themselves to make it sound bad! Go figure.

...I went to visit the Grand Hotel just because it's mentioned in this song.
