I put the reference to heavy metal back into the opening statement, while leaving the more subtle explanation mostly in place. Whether anyone's personal analysis agrees or not (even whether the group itself agrees or not) it is clear that DP is highly associated with HM and this needs to be stated up front.

I've noticed that I've seen more heavy metal bands and musicians cite Deep Purple as an influence more than even Black Sabbath. Malmsteen Maiden 15:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
The article isn't wholly accurate about the usage of the term "heavy metal". Steppenwolf used the phrase in "Born to Be Wild" in 1968, so by the 70's, this term was known. Please see the article on Sir Lord Baltimore on this very site for the first review using this term. I would say the term was rare, or perhaps not yet popular. But it wasn't "wholly unknown" Silverstarseven 14:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm clearly younger than a lot of people here. I'm 17, 18 in September 2007. Before I'd heard much metal I always thought "but Smoke on the Water isn't really metal" - that being the only song the average kid knew. Got into the stuff, and the band has done metal. MOST of their music's got a little metal edge in it but not enough to be called metal. However as pioneers of the genre it should be recognised. I always believe Black Sabbath was the first heavy metal band, but not the first band to play heavy metal in front of a large audience - that goes to Led Zep and Deep Purple. So, why not do what we did for Led Zep? Label it proto metal, which automatically redirects users to heavy metal. It admits their influence and likenesses to heavy metal, while agreeing they're not strictly metal. I just noticed they changed it on the Zep page, but whatever...I like the idea.

When you first get to this article, you read the first 2 paragraphs and assume it's about a song called Deep Purple. IMO the first sentence should talk about the band, then later on in the article the origin of their name can be dealt with.

The whole opening section is still quite poorly written though. It seems odd to start off with Episode Six, whose members weren't in at the start. Patrick Neylan 22:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
As an electronica fan, I genuinely want to know if this article's affirmative tone is accurate in placing Deep Purple on the platform (I was going to say "altar", but resisted) of Greatest Rock Bands Ever. A more objective tone would be appreciated, something that might explain why Led Zeppelin's place in this higher echelon might go unquestioned, whereas as Deep Purple, not. Did Led Zepp also happen to be skilled self promoters and did Deep Purple opt for the low profile, my-quality-will-speak-for-itself way to Rock History?
Satriani was never asked to stay permanently although he had wished it. I don't understand why people keep putting in this mistake. Joe Satriani himself has spoken of having wanted to stay in the band. I've read an article with Satriani speaking on the subject but I just don't have a copy of it. Does anybody? January 29, 2006.

I've just been reading about the recent Sony BMG re-release of the "NEC 1993" album without Ian Gillan's knowledge and his plea to fans to 'not buy it'. Sony BMG has also withdrawn the album from sale and is recalling it as well as investigating why Gillan was not informed of the re-release. (info here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6400545.stm). Im relatively new to the whole Wiki markup language, so wouldn't be confident writing a section for the main page on this subject (and am not sure that it should be on the main page, maybe it should be on the seperate 'Lineup & Discography' page). What are peoples thoughts? Anyway... if no-one picks up on this, I might add a small section to the main page sometime over the next few days. Malbolge 18:00, 27 February 2007 (GMT).

The source for that "100 million records sold" claim is ridiculous. Publicist cruft. If that's the best source you can find, I think the 100 million sales claim should be deleted. The same source also claims that Deep Purple In Rock is the best selling rock album in the world. This is obvious publicist flights of fancy. Calling it gross hyperbole doesn't even go far enough. 74.77.208.52 19:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I'll keep making the change to reflect that it's a sales claim until a better source is provided. Stop changing it back, because you don't have a leg to stand on. That source has already been acknowledged as containing PR exaggerations. It's a horrible source. There's no reason to accept the 100 million sales claim any more than there is reason to accept that same source's claim that Deep Purple in Rock is the best selling rock album of all time. It's publicist cruft. It does not meet the standard of documented fact. Not even close. 74.77.208.52 19:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
A quick look at the BPI and RIAA sites (UK and USA record award sites) show; UK 6 Gold and 10 Silver LPs, which means at least 1.2 Million. In the USA 10 Gold, 4 Platinum and one multi-platinum (but no clue as to how multiple it was - but elsewhere it is listed as double) so that is at least 11 Million. So that leaves 90 Million or so for the rest of the world to make up. Which to me is a LOT - seeing UK and US would be their biggest single markets. -- C Hawke 12:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Seen as though Deep Purple had several different line ups, i strongly suggest that the photograph is replaced with one of the classic mk2 line up, as it was the most prominent and infamous lineup, the lineup nowadays cannot match that of its glory days, and the 2 replacement musicians i.e morse etc are exactly that; replacments, purely for convinience.

Deep Purple were one of the definitive if not the definitive early heavy metal band. This shouldn't even be debated. Just a short list of sources citing them as metal:
It has been confirmed in the Around The World Live DVD that Deep Purple are Not a Heavy Metal band too.
The Deep Purple discography page shows that the Book of Taliesyn album reached only #54 on the US album charts, while the song "Kentucky Woman" from this album reached #38 on the singles charts. I tried to edit a section to reflect this, but the edit was reverted back to the one that shows the album at #38. Clearly, this article or the Deep Purple discography article conflict, so one of them is wrong. Howenstein115 ( talk) 19:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Why is the "past members" section in the infobox empty? I think that this problem needs to be corrected, especially because Giants such as Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore were a members in the band.
The past members that I know about are:
Ritchie Blackmore
Jon Lord
Nick Simper
Rod Evans
However, that list needs to be veryfied.
Thanks,

Deep Purple were one of the definitive if not the definitive early heavy metal band. This shouldn't even be debated. Just a short list of sources citing them as metal:
It has been confirmed in the Around The World Live DVD that Deep Purple are Not a Heavy Metal band too.
The Deep Purple discography page shows that the Book of Taliesyn album reached only #54 on the US album charts, while the song "Kentucky Woman" from this album reached #38 on the singles charts. I tried to edit a section to reflect this, but the edit was reverted back to the one that shows the album at #38. Clearly, this article or the Deep Purple discography article conflict, so one of them is wrong. Howenstein115 ( talk) 19:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Why is the "past members" section in the infobox empty? I think that this problem needs to be corrected, especially because Giants such as Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore were a members in the band.
The past members that I know about are:
Ritchie Blackmore
Jon Lord
Nick Simper
Rod Evans
However, that list needs to be veryfied.
Thanks,
Tommy
