Well done! Finally, you gave it a shot... But the score you gave it doesn't convince me at all...

You say I don't know shit = you have to prove what you claim. "Whoever wants to assert a right in court must prove the facts on which it is based" (art. 2697 c.c. first paragraph). Challenging your statement will be easy for me: I'll just point out how you remain anonymous and unregistered, which is already a symptom of cowardice and treachery. He who throws the stone and hides his hand... I won't respond to you anymore, your envy of my wisdom amuses me and I don’t mind. On the contrary, I’m glad that your jealousy is gnawing at you because you'll never be able to shake me. Last but not least: never try to mention my mother again, keep your loved ones out of our discussions, because if you become too rude, I'll track down the message and come find you at your home. And if I come that far, it will be painful for you. A lot, a lot of pain.

Oh human fate, we believe ourselves to be much and we are nothing; no more than a light breath is existence. In the grip of the Orc, this will be the fate of us all: therefore let us live, as long as we can enjoy. From the Satyricon by Petronius.

Here is Rhodes, jump here.

Do I have mediocre tastes? Come listen to a record by Faust or Tangerine Dream with me, then I'll explain it to you... Come listen to John Surman instead of Paul Blay or Mike Westbrook (his "Metropolis" is spectacular)... Do I have mediocre tastes? Come, and I'll explain to you how the structure of Chopin's Etude is built, or I'll tell you some anecdotes about Can or Gong... Come to Dad, you fool!

Ok guru, thank you for getting in touch and for alerting me. I'm not claiming to be a great expert, but as someone who has listened—and still listens—to a ton of music from that period. My favorite bands (Genesis, King Crimson, Who, Beatles, Gentle Giant, Reed, and so on...) whether you like it or not, are from that era, and I can proudly and confidently say that I know them very well; therefore (by transitive property) I know the music from that period well. Others remind me that I am an expert. Sure, I didn't live through those years myself. But I am an expert on Diritto Estense (and I can assure you of that with my thesis) even though I didn't "live through the years of Diritto Estense"! Therefore (by transitive property) you are an idiot!

Tamarrazzi is an adjective that can be used in the musical context? I don't think so. Smoke on the Water? When the DP fans performed it, they didn't get particularly excited – certainly less than for the true emblematic tracks of DP (Highway Star, Speed King, Hush). Smoke on the Water is the exponential symbol of the fact that those who don't understand shit about music tend to identify a band with just one song. Other examples: Beatles = ob-la-di ob-la-da, Pink Floyd = Another Brick in the Wall, Bowie = Ziggy Stardust, etc. Federico, dear friend, you don’t know who you want to confront… be moderate, maybe you’re even intelligent, I can't stand those who want to impose themselves without plausible reasoning.

Federico, dear friend, nothing compels you to read my reviews, and even less to engage in at least inappropriate comments. You certainly have good taste, I don’t dispute that; you probably have a ton of cool records, maybe even a lovely little dog named Cippy, and you might have a nice car. But Federico, dear friend, if you don't like Deep Purple, why do you insist on responding to the comments? If the truth is that you don't know a damn thing about music from the seventies, why deny it? Embrace your ignorance lightly, don’t cling to your shortcomings. Don’t get upset if someone has more knowledge than you; on the contrary, learn from them. What is this stubborn denial of ignorance that you flaunt? What fault do we have, those of us who like the bands that pioneered the music you listen to today, if your aesthetic taste, your search for beauty, is not on the same level as ours? Federico, dear friend, read some music magazines, visit some important sites, then tell me if you’ll find any comments degrading the Purple that are as low in taste as yours. Federico, dear friend, but FUCK YOU!

But how the fuck did you guys, oh you de-baserian followers, not catch such a big blunder? Don't you know a damn thing about '70s music, huh? "Highway Star" is the first hard rock song that a master teaches to a student guitarist because it has all the basic technical concepts. Bad, guys, bad... 3 days and no one noticed... DAMN!

The correct title is Highway Star and not Highway TO Star.
