Deep Purple vs Yes
Jarl Sigurd
If you had to compare them as individual musicians, how would the
classic lineups of Deep Purple from the 70's compare with the classic
lineups of Yes in the 1970's? Who is the better musician in each category?
Guitar: Richie Blackmore vs Steve Howe
Drums: Ian Paice vs Bill Bruford
Keyboards: John Lord vs Rick Wakeman
Bass: Roger Glover vs Chris Squire
or: Glen Hughes vs Chris Squire
Vocals: Ian Gillian vs Jon Anderson
or: David Coverdale vs Jon Anderson

What a funny troll.
Purple was basically a blues/rock band and thefore WAY funkier than Yes
would vere be in their wildest dreams.
Yes did have superior musicianship if sheer chops were your metric, but
so what?
Might as well ask if Iggy Pop is better than Duke Ellington!

Slight edge to Anderson. Their styles were so different so this one really
comes down to personal preference
How about a celebrity deathmatch between my two favorite live bands? '75-'76
Magma vs. '73-'74 King Crimson. This one features two major mismatches:
Lockwood-Cross and Fripp-Federow. However, Paganotti-Wetton and Vander-Bruford
would be classics. I'm not even sure how to approach the
Wetton-Blasquiz/Vander/Vander vocal showdown.

except bass (and I am a big Yes fan, too). I do like Anderson better
than Coverdale (at least during Coverdale's stint in Purple--not his
finest work), but not Gillan.

Who has a better technique, faster player? Blackmore, though Blackmore
really didn't become a really technical player until the
late-70s/early-80s. So, in the 70s, Howe. Who creates better music?
Subjective.

My point of view ! So the new Band is: Blackmore, Squire, Lord, Paice
and Gillan, but fo course two complete different bands and great
musicians. Any band in the world would dream to have at least one of
these guys.

Typical!!! The fans of Yes have got nothing more to expect from their
senior musicians and are now trying to frustrate other fans by telling
them that " their" musicians are better...tatatatata ....sounds like
little boy's.
I just hate cross posters. If you get bored with Yes...stay in your

Apples & oranges again. You can hardly have a basis for comparing these two
bands when their styles are so dissimilar. In Yes there were many points
where the bass was practically the lead instrument, whereas in Purple I can
recall only two songs where the bass took a (very short) break, and those
tunes hardly ever showed up in setlists.

Actually he just wanders around, filling in the newsgroups line as the whim

Being a fan of both DP and Yes, there's no point *whatsoever* in comparing
them.

- Yeah, it was just a quick pick. I must admit that Roger has done a
wonderful job in Purple and improved a lot over the years technically
speaking and let愀 not forget that he is also an excellent producer.
Roger always said he is not a great bass player, the best around, with
lots of other better players , and that is Ok, he is Deep Purple bass
player and IMHO he is better than ever. Tony Levin, Stuart Hamm, Dave
Larue, Geddy Lee are the best bass players in the world for me (maybe
I forgot some other names here). Just an opinion and it is like pizza
here. Everyone has their personal preferences.
- The better here is not to compare. Who could win Blackmore in 72, 73
?? But today, many guitar players are doing better records than
Blackmore (guitar playing). The same with Eric Clapton. In his Cream
and Blind Faith years his work was amazing. But his solo career, at
least in the last 15 years is horrible for me.
- We can愒 forget also that they play different styles and I kind of
like Yes very much, but Purple is definitely the band for my ears.
The MK-II proved to be the best live rock慨愉oll in the whole world in
my opinion, MY opinion.
These battle-threads between bands are very difficult. There are
times I hear a lot of Uriah Heep, then Glenn Hughes, then Rush, then
Yes, always Purple !

This reply intrigued me, so I decided to run a computer simulation: Yes 1973
vs. Deep Purple 1973. It was an intriguing matchup; Yes' overall smaller
size and lighter weight seemed an advantage in the early stages of the
match. In the end, however, Purple's size/strength coupled with Blackmore's
ruthlessness wore the Yes-men down in the end. It was indeed a titanic
struggle of epic proportions; one unexpected side-effect of this simulated
battle was that the Federated States of Micronesia were destroyed, thereby
ridding the Internet of 12.47 percent of its spam traffic.

Jarl basically has two functions in life:

2) troll newsgroups starting fights.
He has become a joke over here at rec.music.progressive, and LONG

Posting a 'which band is better?' post to two newsgroups devoted to the two

Your problem here is that Yes BORES me. I had a college friend who
had all their albums and played guitar along with their records, but I
never liked them. I had a fraternity brother who was deeply into
Jethro Tull, and I could listen to them for hours. Yes BORES me.

Why bother doing this? Forget it comparing Yes to Purple and who is a better
bass player, or who is a better guitar player. What is this high school? You
cant compare Yes to Deep Purple, it does not work. Two different bands, with
two very different styles.

I like both and think both groups contain excellent musicians.
Yes I would say may have more technical merits but music isn't about mere
technical proficiency. You need a bit of humanity in there to make the music
enjoyable.
Deep Purple wins in my view then !

Blackmore wins this hands down. Howe was sloppy live (Blackmore was either
putrid or beyond brilliant when on), and Howe did not really improvise
like RB and crew did. But then again, Howe is a totally different style
payer.

Not being a drummer i cannot really make judgement here, other than to say

Wakeman wins this in my book.Sorry TOMATO. More cersitile and defimnately

Boy that is hard. Shoeshine boy Hughes is not in contention here either.
Squire was a more melodic style player, where RG held the bottom end down
and solid.

For me between the singers listed it would be Gallons in his prime. If I

Heart Of The Sunrise, Siberian...etc.), and Yes play Purple (Hwy Star,
Lazy, Child...etc.).

An average of 62 years old. Could Steve Howe possibly look any more cadaverous?

Avg. 54 or so.... And I am sure that Yes like me aren't as Good as they
Once were, but are as Good Once as they ever were...
Monday, Dec. 11, 1972, Pete Banks with Flash, played headliner at a small
venue for me in Fort Wayne, IN. along with Mott The Hoople, Bull Angus, and
a couple of other bands... After the concert, All of Mott and some of Flash
and the other bands came to a club I owned and jammed until sun up. It was
a great time.. memorable enough that a couple of the guys from Mott wrote me
after they returned to England to thank me for the great time. The club
had a short life of about three years and was destroyed by fire, but during
that time, many, many superb musicians performed there. Some achieved some
measure of success, while most, of course never got "hooked up" with the
industry to achieve the lofty place occupied by the groups we have come to
admire. The perspective would be for example at that time, REO Speedwagon
played at a teeny bop place across town. I looked at them a couple of times
and didn't think they were good enough to play the club just yet. The lead
singer from Bull Angus, Franke Previte, won an oscar for writing "The Time
Of My Life", used in the soundtrack of Dirty Dancing. He had middling
success with his own group Frankie and the Knockouts.
The events of that Monday night are chronicled in Ian Hunters' "Diary of a
Rock Star" on pages 97 to 101 as seen from his viewpoint. The Drummer he
refers to was the drummer from Bull Angus in its' second incarnation, Paul
Castator. He kicked doubles and was a previous Bass player. I think his
Bass experience uniquely made him able to connect to and interact with the
three different Bass players I had been able to see him play with in as many
bands. He was really spectacular. Last I heard (80 'ish) he was with Jerry
Reed. The organ player he mentions was Ron Piccolo and I don't know what
happened to Ronnie. Oh Well........
