    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.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.
