Great band, man will be missed.

Yep, he sure will be missed....R.I.P

Smoke on the waaaaater... Jon Lord in the skiiiiiiyeeeee.

I always did like Space Truckin' better...but couldn't pass that up. RIP.

Sorry to hear of the man's passing but I gotta say that Smoke on the Water was one of the lamest excuses for a rock song ever recorded.

It's not the kill...

(Anyone who's road-raced or looked for a hookup "knows the score" with that line.)

[W5GA]

Too bad, he'll be missed. Rumor has it that I went to a Deep Purple concert back in the day, but you sure couldn't prove it by me.

Me like 400 million others could play the smoke on the water riffs on guitar.
