Deep Purple - Hey Joe Lyrics

*Who's Joe?*

The beggining sounds like the theme song of an 8bit egyptian themed video game.

There are numerous versions of Hey Joe including the most famous one by Jimi Hendrix. But to me this is by far the best one.

die bester Version , außer Orginal.

The very first album i ever bought .. I still have it .. OH HELLZ YEAH !!

Heads up: It doesn't really start until 2:22. Before that there's just a bunch of Hammond organ stuff that sounds vaguely inspired by "Bolero" (perhaps trying to foreshadow Joe's escape to Mexico?).

[They return to the Bolero stuff at around 4:15 for about half a minute.]

It's uh... ok.

"Hey Joe" is a a great song so any cover is bound to be pretty good, or at least interesting, and Purple was a good band even before Gillan made them great, so definitely worth a listen.

Interesting to hear but after all is said and done a pretty lame cover.

Hendrix's famous second cover version is of course the best cover of this great song.

[TLDR: It's no surprise that this early DP cover version was never a classic rock radio staple.]

Vanilla Fudge😁

masterpiece 🤘❤

I really can’t believe how few views this video has. When I was growing up playing hey joe we would always do the intro part before the solo

I picture myself watching a Clint Eastwood movie or some spaghetti western movie. I love this version of Hey Joe it's the coolest

this is one of the worst versions.. 😅 but it's an important piece of history

magnificent MK I. ... the best !!!!! has such a flower power vibe

Hendrix is the king

Unforgettable.....hair

The good the bad and the guitar

I DID I SHOOT HER

The first I hear this song in 1978 or 1979 !!.

To me, Deep Purple is The Beatles.

Hendrix’s version is my favorite but this one is great as well.

Try listening to "The Who's" live at Tampa version

Masterpiece with capital M

Ritchie Blackmore is the most underrated guitarist. I mean we know him, but people always talk about hendrix, clapton, zappa, iommi and Page. They are great and awesome! But Blackmore is a Dr. He influenced so many famous guitarists..



I don't know shit I'm crazy hahaha.. Long Live to Deep fucking Purple!!!


Please don't kill me bcos my spanglish

Purple's rendition is so different from Hendrix. Both are masterpieces.

Did you like Type O Negative's version?

dp rules :):):)

my favorite version, gonna try to learn it on guitar but i'm kind of a hack.

Good luck with that. Blackmore nails it like nobody else could.

my name is Steve R hawkins. inteligent sergeant..

R.I.P Douglas

Deep purple had an orchestra in their deepest purple !

I'm so wasted..........

Music Machine...

5 geniuses ...

Bought this Album "Shades of Deep Purple" back in 1968 at Sears in Sarasota, Fla. when I was 16 y.o. because of the hit song "Hush." Got home, played it and every song on the record was great, the work of geniuses! It's still one of my favorite albums of all time. Ritchie Blackmore (b. 1945) on guitar and Jon Lord on organ(b.1941 d. 2012) are especially amazing. Yay for Deep Purple! Among the best of the best. They defined the psychedelic era.

oh yaaaaa!!!!

They did not define the psychadelic era.

Who wrote HEY Joe. Hint it wasn't jimmy hendrix ?

Yes and neither did Jimi Hendrix

Ey fuckers. Who wrote hEY JOE IT Was nt Hendrix it was DEEP PURPLE !!!

How come they didnt think they could evolve into a hard rock outfit with Rod & & Nick? Rod did Captain Beyond that was mind blowing & Nick did Warhorse.

well to be fair ian gillan is 3000x times better than rod

In doing an interview with Ian Paice he confirmed to me that Deep Purple wanted to be the 'British Vanilla Fudge'. And that is exactly what we hear with 'Hey Joe', a combination of the Fudge and Hendrix's slow version of the tune (the likes of the Byrds, the Leaves and others did if uptempo). But with the arrival of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover the Fudge's influence diminished, with that lineup's first album, 'In Rock', revealing the band had, despite Jon Lord's Fudge-like Hammond presence, arrived at its own unique sound.

You nailed it ! Wayne...Been a Vanilla Fudge & Deep Purple right from the beginning!!~Rock & Roll

Wayne Blanchard I play bass for Lance Lopez now and he owns Roger Glover’s Marshall super bass 100. It’s a monster

What an extraterrestrial collection of musical geniuses

Guys i came from brazil i like very much this song hardy rock forever

Amazing song, amazing band, however I can’t stand the haircuts.

Metal In Your Head Yeah, cuz THAT is important... turn in your membership card please. 🙄

For me this ranks as one of the best debut albums and overall best DP albums of all time

an older friend you know deep purple, Rainbow, black sabbath. ....,but you like punk rock??!!?....fuck yeah......Patrick

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌✊☝🔝👍✌😎

Garbage cover Seals it best

4:06 Somebody call an ambulance!

Ritchie Blackmore!!!

The intro is sick!
😎

che fantastici capelli ahahahah

Ahahahahahah ahahahahahah 😂😂😂

I like Blackmores guitar work better than Hendrix guitar work.

It kinda seems like Deep Purple started out with the name -Shades of Deep Purple, instead of Deep Purple. Isn't this purples first record?

They started out with the name Roundabout, but did not release anything under that moniker.

Billy Roberts wrote this song, Joe South DID however write 'Hush', which was a big hit for these guys.

best cover or what

If you compare that picture of Purple with the picture on the back of Led Zep 1 - same hairstyles!

LOL. Yeah man, we all had hair like that back then, unless our parents raised too much hell about it.

@Bestoink Dooley: Hope you still have the hair today! :)

@Bestoink Dooley: We're in the exact same boat, then! :)

Brilliantly! From such shit as "Hey Joe", made a great song!

Grigoriy GB Are you saying that Hey Joe is a shitty song?

35 government agents accidentally clicked on this video

lsd lsd and more lsd, long time ago, this song is a hammer

Music means deep purple. Real music. Something which makes complete and perfect sense. This is the real deal. Such vibrant tones to one lovely and beautifully composed song. Perfection personified. All u need is patience and understanding.

I'm a DP fan, but I find this tediuous to listen to. I could have done without the long winded and very unremarkable instrumental breaks.

You koo koo for co co puffs.

wtf? it is delicious

Rod Evans and Nick Simper sound darn good here.
I love what DP brought to the table with line up changes but.........
I love MRK1 Purple.

JON LORD'S DOWNRIGHT AGGRESSIVE KEYBOARD IS A CLASSIC MONSTROUSLY POWER HOUSE OF A DYNAMIC PERFORMER "WAY YOU GO JON"..RIP YOU PIONEERED THE WAY FORWARD

Best version ever

Blackmore's hollow body period.

I'm soo Happy to be able to say that I've got this on original vinyl. I picked it up at a yard sale for 25 cents the old couple didn't know who they were so they sold all these records for dirt cheap.. And it plays flawlesy.. No skips, scratches.. I got lucky on this one and the 200 others I bought from them for $25 bucks..

i first heard dp in 69, been a diehard fan ever since. rb is dp

Mike Rowave Ritchie forever

Mike Rowave “dp in 69”. Nice.

La 🐺❤🎼Deep Purple - Hey Joe¸.•'**☆ ╰⊰✿ 🎹🎸

Lord MITICO 🎵🎶🎹🎶🎵🎶

Reverend rick

here's one for u,Cher even did a cover of it as well and surprisingly a great version it is

Para q palavras??
Ouvir!!

Although this was many times recorded before DP did, still I can't understand why "Hush" was a small hit in USA instead of this?

Small hit? Hush went to #4 in the US.

@GreenerHill THIS song is much better but Hush is a hit for the girls in the clubs

does blackmore's guitar at the 0:26 mark remind anyone of Dick Dale?

Spanish theme music of this very long but very good version of Hey Joe by Deep Purple

My name is Steve R. Hawkins...

Excellent opus !! Premier des trois album avec le génial Rod Evans au Chant ! "Hey Joe" nous arrive dans la tronche tel un OVNI lancé à pleine balle !! En plus du tube d' Hendrix, figurent "Help" et "Hush" !! Un bijou !! Great Cover !!

who sings that song again? hendrix? oh ya... leave it to him :)

Love the Hendrix version too

Yes Hendrix ❤

@Debbie Holzherr ho yea Hendrix forever ❤

Best version ever! Deep Purple is a legend.

the best version is the version of jimmy

@mr deacon true

No one did it better than The Byrds!

... un grupaso, buen cover de esta canción, Deep Purple antes de Ian Gillianinte con los integrantes originales, sonaba a mas sicodelico y progresivo que metal ...

heartbreaking solo, you can feel the pain

It is one of his best. Nobody can play better.

Best bluesy rock band ever!

un grupo de los grandes de la historia del rock

i also love first DP line up I am fan of psychedelic progressisve rock

Song has been done by many, including Roy Buchanan and Alvin lee. Jon Lords Bolero style intro is what truly makes this unique. RIP Jon Lord, rock organ maestro !

Vietcong - an unforgettable game with amazing soundtrack

Just replayed it, still a masterpiece

great work, an early Deep Purple but already very good, terrific version from this Hendrix's song......

Jimi Hendrix did not make the song.

I don't think anyone knows the origins of this song.

this is great from deep purple exemplary I just love their music

Rod Evans in this, in Hush, Mandrake root and Kentucky Woman was better than I.G. imo. My favorite versions ;)
J.Lord, I.Paice and R.Blackmore - as ussually - the best! ;)

& in Lalena Of course :)

Fever Tree's version is best IMO.

gtfo pls

Le Boléro de Ravel......... :)

Actually, it's Miller's Dance by Manuel de Falla.

joe south wrote the original if i'm not mistaken

Billy Roberts man

+Thelonesniper101 That's still somewhat up for debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe

South wrote Hush!

Last name first, middle initial , first name last. pre -induction physical ,good times

songs of one of my first double albums. got it from my uncle. deep puirlple improved many songs. played "help" till i died when my love left me....

pfg cover

2:22 for song

+ertuuuuuu Just because i don't like to listen to a keyboard solo, that shouldn't even be part of the song, i should go listen to pop music? I like all sorts of rock/metal music and i hate almost all pop music.

+TheCryptCrusader Lol, I'm just teasing you bro, calm down :)

+ertuuuuuu Fair enough

Oh, you must be dumb..

"Go learn some better grammar."



Lol.

Is this the original or is it Jimi Hendrix's?

+TheCryptCrusader the original is an old blues tune from before hendrix, can't remember the fellas name though

+brenden gallagher Billy Roberts

Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar genius

The best I ever heard.

Lemmy Cash
where does Blackmore, the sound of the song is completely set by the Lord.
Oh, these fanatics!

glenn, ian and ian, and jon are geniuses too

@Grigoriy GB Good point!!

A magical solo.

classic,takes me back.

Le premier titre qui m'a fait decouvrir DEEP PURPLE!

una de mis canciones favoritas, no hay mas que decir deep purple, es uno de los mejores grupos que surgio en esa epoca

Nice to hear Spanish music incorporated perfectly in this song

Di que si.....OLÉ

Many thanks to my sister's first boyfriend for leaving this album at our house. I love the way the English sing the blues!

I just put this on and I remember as a kid the buildup with the organ to the start of the vocals. Never since repeated in any intro ( in this shattered mind's eye)

love your comment :)

Es buena...aunque la de Hendrix es magnífica.

Hervoragender Song

this is track 9 on the LP ?

Yep. The last one.

I think the first Deep Purple albums are the best albums they record both albums are master pieces. I got both albums on original vinyl

GreenerHill What kind of crossover have you got in mind? To me, Mk II Purple is 100% pure hard rock.

I meant crossover only in the sense of repertoire - there are no Mk.2 songs on Made in Europe. Sorry, I wasn't clear there.

GreenerHill As well as you won't find any other but Mk II songs on Made in Japan. So they are similar regarding this issue. They both contain only the current lineup songs (although Made in Europe has been released after the Blackmore's departure from the band). But I wasn't referring to that in my original comment. What I meant is that Made in Japan has been recorded at the band's pinnacle (Mk II lineup) while Made in Europe, though not bad at all, depicts the band already in decline. Cause to me, as well as to zillions of Purple fans, Mk II is the best Purple lineup that has ever existed. One that made them famous, from the objective point of view. With Gillan's departure the band lost one of the five key elements (since each member of this lineup is crucial) while with the Blackmore's departure the band actually became irrelevant.

Robi: All good points. I thought you were simply saying MiE was rubbish - sorry. I like Mk. 1, Mk. 2 and Mk. 3 equally, and you're right - of the three line-ups, only Mk. 2 was properly represented with a live album. MiJ is brilliant. For me, Mk. 3 was more a continuation of Mk.1 than Mk. 2, but no one ever agrees with that point! Cheers. :)

Nah, Mark II is the best
