- 2 years ago
Hope you all enjoyed this song
the fire at the Casino in Montreux Switzerland on December 4, 1971 inspired the creation of this song. due to someone shooting a flare gun into the ceiling during a Zappa concert. the show, which set the place on fire.
on that occasion Deep Purple only witnessed the blaze from a nearby restaurant after the evacuation, and when the fire was extinguished, a layer of smoke had covered Lake Geneva, This gave Roger Glover the idea of Deep Purple's base for the song's title: "Smoke On The Water," and Gillan wrote the lyrics to their story and recorded the album Machine Head.
then at the Grand Hotel in Montreux, where they began recording the album using the Rolling Stones mobile studio. They needed one more song for the album, so they composed "Smoke On The Water" using Gillan's lyrics and riff guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. The result is a song that tells the story of the fire incident, and this is only a few days after it happened
In Songfacts' interview with Gillan, he explained that this song is actually an extra song to make up for the lack of material on the album, we think it's an 'additional track'. It was just a last-minute panic.
