Bands That Have Covered Purple

Guest

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...

Quote :: Faith No More-Highway Star

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

It is on their greatest hit album "What Hits?" but it wasn't a serious cover version since it is only a minute long.

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.

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".

Oh, the tracks that Jorn has covered can be found on the "Unlocking The Past" compilation album.

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.

That would be worth hearing

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.

I would love to hear that. Burn is my favorite Coverdale era Purple tune. Peace.
