From Sunday’s 1,600-guitar peformance of “Smoke On The Water” in Kansas City, the news coverage of which has caused that “dun-dun-dunnn-dun-dun-da-dunnnn” riff to be firmly lodged in our heads for a good 60 minutes now. (Please send help.)

Smoke on the Water is temporarily dead to me because of that shitty car commercial.
best part: this was at a t-bones game. i love my hometown…
…..”Smoke on the Water” had a seriously rude, wake-your-ass-up guitar riff, for those times, and it deserves its kudos, and place of honor. However, no one who covers it gets the Jon Lord organ sound right. Hammond-organ patches on today’s digital keyboards STILL pretty much suck! That unique growl from those early rock days makes chills go up and down my spine…
