Jon Lord - Child in Time (Deep Purple) + solo (Whitesnake)

Ayer murió Jon Lord. Uno de los teclistas más importantes (y seguramente más reconocidos) de la historia del rock. Deep Purple y Whitesnake deben su lugar en el salón de la fama al papel crucial de Jon Lord. Nunca olvidaré sus solos en canciones como Highway Star, Fireball, Space Truckin', Burn, "A" 200, Keep On Moving, etc. (me ha costado parar de poner ejemplos) o el inicio de canciones como Lazy, Walking in the Shadows of the Blues, o la mítica Child in Time.

Jon Lord died yesterday. One of the most important (and probably most famous) keyboard players in rock history. Deep Purple and Whitesnake have their place in the Hall of Fame thanks to the crucial role played by Jon Lord. I will never forget his solos on songs sach as Highway Star, Fireball, Space Truckin ', Burn, "A" 200, Keep On Moving, etc. (it was really hard to stop giving examples) or the beginning of songs like Lazy, Walking in the Shadows of the Blues, or the mythical Child In Time.

Whitesnake - Ain't Gonna Cry No More

David Coverdale fue el cantante de una de las épocas más brillantes de Deep Purple. Después fundó su propia banda: Whitesnake. Esta banda empezó haciendo un rock duro con ciertos aromas de rythm'n'blues. Entrados en los 80 rozaron el glam-heavy, con canciones más comerciales, sus pelitos cardados y esas cosas. A continuación os pongo un tema de la primera época de Whitesnake (mi preferida), de un disco llamado Ready and Willing. Ojo porque al teclado está Jon Lord y a la batería Ian Paice (ambos ex-Deep Purple).

David Coverdale was the lead singer during one of the most brilliant eras of Deep Purple. He afterwards founded his own band: Whitesnake. This band began making hard rock with some aromas of rythm'n'blues. Well into the 80s they bordered on glam-heavy, making music with a more commercial style, backcombed hairs and stuff. Below I'll post a theme from the early days of Whitesnake (my favorite), taken from an album called Ready and Willing. Attention, because Jon Lord plays the keyboard and Ian Paice plays the drums (both ex-Deep Purple).
