| Please be so kind as to name all the bands that have covered a Deep Purple song that you can think of. I am curious.
The ones I thought of right off were:
Dream Theater - Perfect Strangers Pretty Maids - Perfect Strangers Metal Church - Highway Star Venom - Speed King

| Primal Fear covered "Speed King" on their first album.
Overkill covered "Space Truckin'" on the COVERKILL album.
I'm sure there are others but those are all I can think of right now... _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Never heard that one. Is that recorded somewhere or did they just do it live? |

| Kevin DuBrow covered Speed King on his In For the Kill solo album. He also covered Black Sheep of the Family by Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, for what it's worth. Kula Shaker covered Hush. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| When I had a Limewire account I had a live version of Iron Maiden covering "Smoke on the Water." I guess it was a live only bootleg cuz the quality was terrible. But a cool novelty listen nonetheless. Peace. | |

| Jorn has covered "Perfect Stranger", recording a cover as magical as the original! He has also recorded "Burn". _________________ | |

| Thin Lizzy covered a ton of Deep Purple songs. They recorded an album under the name Funky Junction. The album was titled Funky Juction - A Tribute to Deep Purple. This was actually Thin Lizzy with some additional musicians. It is the holy grail of Thin Lizzy collectible vinyl. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| There are tribute cd's out there & not all them are bands but different singers & or guitar players for for certain songs based around a core backing band. I have one called "Smoke On The Water" that is very good IMO. Features Glenn Hughes, JLT, Dokken, T.Harnell, JSS on voc. & P.Glibert,. Malmsteen, Norum, McAlpine, V. Moore etc on guitar.
My favorite cover of Purple is on Blackmore's Castle "Space Truckin" w/Torben Enevoldson (Section A) on guitar & the great Mats Leven on vocals. Check it out at www.nehrecord.com | |

| Black Sabbath doing Smoke On The Water on the Born Again tour was pretty cool. | |

| Yngwie Malmsteen covered more than one song on the album "inspiration". My favorites are "Child in Time" & "Mistreated". | |
