Is it just me or do Jon Lord's fingers do it better than the Arcade Fire? (1 Viewer)

[Alan Latchley]

Maybe it’s because everyone is so, like, caught up in the whole cathedral of sound that Arcade Fire are making on their new album ‘Neon Bible’, but for me, the big hyped-up organ grinding/booming out on ‘Intervention’ and ‘My Body Is A Cage’ isn’t a patch on the magic Jon Lord’s fingers carved out on a keyboard as he welcomed listeners to the opening tracks on ‘Perfect Strangers’ and ‘House of the Blue Light’, the last pair of semi-decent albums from the classic Mk II Deep Purple line-up before Blackmore went bananas.

Oh yes, that organ on ‘Perfect Strangers’ and, a few years later, on ‘Bad Attitude’ is just perfect.. God damn it, it’s as though Christ himself is playing it, yet you won’t find me harping on about how I was into them before anyone else was...

Jon Lord will always be king,he was in Deep Purple and Whitesnake.
Perfect Strangers and House Of Blue light don't even come close to the earlier Deep Purple stuff.
