Deep Purple - Into The Fire Lyrics

One of my favorite guitar solos..love that little rift at 1:55. this is the perfect example of the old saying, "the notes you don't play are as important as the notes you do play"

Yes, I knew you were referring to that bit. It's may favourite too. Ritchie's solos are so tasteful. Yum.

Music has been written for over 500 years. There hasn't been anything really new for a long time causing everyone to borrow from everyone else including themselves.

35 años escuchando a purple, no me canso nunca de esta maravilla!!

This is to metal as Homo Erectus is to Homo Sapiens.

Its ridiculous to see people arguing what genre this is instead of just be friends and enjoy

You can see Ian drumming......

This would be super heavy rock today!!!!

Best Purple album ever!

On the whole, Purples' deep cuts of 70-72 outshine the 'classics'

That guitar tone on this album!

Ian Gillan said this song is about the peril of doing drugs. He said Purple were a drinking band, not a drugs band.

43 people wouldnt know good music if it bit them in the arse

42 persons must be throwned into the fire ...

it reminds me of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man

Me cago en el curaaaaaaa!

The best from the west

My funeral music, prior to being conveyed to the incinerator

Vaughan Green, May be entire album Burn will also do? 🔥🔥🔥

Great song. The organ is great but it kinda undermines the otherwise overwhelming sense of METAL.

I wouldn't call this heavy metal. It's heavy rock, of which metal was a derivative.

Fire666Track! RiP J.Lord

Deep purple is metal, not just hard rock. They have heavy riffs as well as fast paced agrgessive riffs, loud bombastic drumming, screaming and dark/serious lyrics, they play at max volume with distortion. They also have a ton of shredding How are they not metal?

Yes songs and albums like this are definitely metal but they have a ton of stuff that isn’t even close to metal. They did it all.

@The Truth Hurts Right but lots of metal bands do songs that arnt metal. Black sabbath did changes, iron maiden did when the wild wind blows and metalica did nothing else matters. I like all those songs but they arnt really metal, but the bands are as a whole.

Ian Flanagan That’s what my point is. I think In Rock is Deep Purples only metal album. The rest line machine head and perfect strangers dabble in hard rock.

Ian paice says it himself they’re not heavy metal there is some facets of what they do that are heavy-metal but that’s different from who they are.A hard rock band.

Those fuckin drums..

First class hard rock..

at 1975 I was 12 and was o e of my first lps

my first favorite group and one of the most hard songs I listen to....

I like this riff A LOT MORE than "Smoke on the Water". In fact, I think this is my favorite Blackmore riff of them all! So catchy, I find myself whistling to it! Truth be told, "Smoke on the Water" is overrrated and overplayed. Blackmore had a lot better riffs than that. This one is like "Frankenstein" meets "Iron Man"!!!!

Funnily, this is a Glover riff :D

Splendid !!!

Incredibly heavy for the time....and way ahead of the times. This whole album is so tough...so heavy metal, so edgy. Totally different than Machine Head.

Totally agree! This album kicks ass, on every song! I've listened to it since it came out, pure hard rock, at it's best!

Pretty similar to 21st century schizoid man, and Richie was in fact well aware of, and impressed by, King Crimson. But, it's definitely better than Schizoid Man, better flow. That album by Crimson is a masterpiece, but Schizoid Man is weak, the rest is brilliant.

Similar style but not enough to say copied.

It's definitely more than just style. Two songs with completely different riffs can have similar style, but in this case the riff is in fact noticeably similar. Not the entire song, mind you, but the main riff.

xyhmo I always thought it was similar to Iron Man

This song is my ringtone.

It sounds like a mixture of "I am the walrus" with "21st century schizoid man".

More like Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" meets "Iron Man". (by the way, Blackmore was a big Edgar Winter fan!)

👍👍👍👍👍

WHAT A SONG!!!

Me cago en el curaaaaaa

This song is like heavy blues with a heavy metal edge. DP way ahead of RNR time!!!

Song for Satan: he's gonna BURN

Best Hard Rock Band ever.. Love it

Love the riff

Isn't it a plagiarism based on "21st century schizoid man"?

You can't just make a claim and expect others to prove it otherwise when they disagree with you. It's you who must prove your own claim.@kakolykia

I don't know if I'd say plagiarism, but they're noticeably similar (and in fact Blackmore was impressed by King Crimson prior to writing this album, that's straight from an interview here on youtube) and anyone who can't hear that must be practically deaf, or just dishonest. And not the songs as a whole btw, just the main riff.

Was thinking I heard that too but its pretty far from it once it starts but you know it influenced this song for sure.

@nobodyaskedbut you're saying this better than 21st century schizoid man?!

The two songs have totally different vibes and it never occurred to me that one might have influenced the other. But then it's like saying that all jazz is just a copy of itself. I've heard people make ridiculous claims about plagiarism and this is one of them. People say that Arthur Brown's Fire sounds like Doors' Light My Fire. Obviously some people are tone deaf.

such a sweet lullaby

Cool song. Blackmore's guitar tone is so cool. Remember hearing his solo on Kentucky woman. Very very original better than what Clapton maybe even Hendrix was doing on guitar who both were great but Clapton was a white brit version of the blues. Love Cream though. They definitely put some time into their recording though, made great LP's. They weren't lazy. Hendrix, well what can you say about him he was a super alien sent down from a weird planet. Watching him play is like WTF. Richie is pretty close to having that originality. Love listening to them all though. Era gone by. Never happen again.

Ударные неотразимые

Ну так !))Ян Пейс!!!!!!!

¿Soy el único que encuentra parecido el riff al de 21st Century Schizoid Man?

This was probably my favorite off the album.

James Perkins speed king for me bro

@That Guy Child In Time always is first

the best album

Absolutely...No doubt about it

Maybe machine head but the is there heaviest album by far

Into the fireeeee

2:50 Listen to that fucking scream, it's amazing.

Gillan had the lungs of a drill seargent, lol.

Gillan....Superb vocalist

Great 👍👍👍

Deep Purple in the period 1968-1976 they played hard-rock only four years, from 1970 to 1973.

WHY Many english-speaking people use the word "fuck" "fucking" every 3 words said? FUCK UP; FUCK DOWN; FUCKING HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE...

Because some ( mostly kids) think it's still cool to do

Si..E' cosi'...Ciao da Trento

What the fucking fuck are you fucking talking about?

thelonious ratledge Because we're essentially fucking idiots!

Why indeed. There's no need for it.

This is 100% True Heavy Metal

@Rhys Wachtler No, he's wrong. Read my post further up here; No one called this stuff metal back in the day. No one! Oh, and the notion that NWOBHM wasn't influenced by punk, that's what's absurd. Priest and Maiden included. I don't give a fuck what Steve Harris says in that regard. It's fucking obvious.

In the early 70s only black sabbath plaied heavy metal. This track is very near to heavy metal but i think is hard rock. The critics says that led zeppelin 2 in rock and black sabbath were the albums that made heavy metal, but only black sabbath was pure heavy, led zeppelin 2 and in rock were only near heavy metal, i think that is hard rock, very hard but not heavy...

@BLoooDYSaBBaTH In rock is more violent than 2 first Sabbath albums


Sabbath was doomy , DP was more street , and first bring what became Speed metal elements

Judas Priest is from the same era ,

They updated to modern form around sad wings of destiny abd completed and perfected and pushed even more that Speed and thrashy direction for Years fo come in 1977/1978 ...with double kick attack ( See the schema with Fireball 6 years earlier ;) )..


If you dont see similarities , listen again .

Also I saw a 1974 DP interview and John lord mention the term Heavy metal ...

I have Made in japan review from 1973 , it mention " Heavy metal kids "..

I would say then this is classic heavy metal.

@Pony Trekker at the time nothing is classic . It was new
Something classic or traditional is something is fixed

I dont get that label when it comes
To DP , or JP and so on.
The guys took big risk and expand .
How it can be classic ?

,,,, into the Fireeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pictured Beavis when I read your comment.

aaahhh-ooowwww!!! (at 2:50)

powerful....louder..

macho scream

so heavy and way ahead of its time love it.

This track was recorded in november 1969. Pretty amazing, when thinking about it...

Innerspace100, Black Sabbath recorded their debut in just one day October 16 1969, that shit was groundbreaking too!

Yet I am, to this day, still more taken by In Rock than the sab's debut... Sabbath may have been the epitome of heavy, but Purple were the epitome of hard...

Love this song!  Had to cover it with the band.  Lots of room to jam.

2king crimson

,,,, Deep Purple is Deep Purple and King Crimson is King Crimson - Fact :)

Deep Purple is proper hard rock and King Crimson is all over the place (and not in a derogatory or bad way, might I add...)

king crimson are progressive music?

Saw this song live two years ago. They still get it. Gillan is doing the best one can do at his age, Paice is still wrecking the sh*t out of the kit, Glover never looses his groove, and Morse and Airey, though not being Blackmore and Lord, are louder and greater than ever thanks DP for your music. You rock.

powerful and great music , rest in peace amazing Jonathan d. Lord 1941-2012

One of the their best song ever.
Hard and pumping, it's a distillate of Deep Purple essence.
Great!

"Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna, inTo tHe fiiiiiiiiiiiiReee !" ♫ ♪ #DeepPurple #rock

1. Rock is to awesome for Hashtags
2. It's "you're Goin', into the fire"
3. Learn how to capitalize properly

you are really femenine dude, that girl rocks more than you and thats a fact

Pola Pérez one of the best rock songs ever. Also that album. We won't never see such a bands again

Great track...From their best album.

I prefer Made In Japan -- longer tracks -- 7 cuts across 2 records

Best album is machine head but this is a close second

Burt472 I prefer fireball feel like it has the most diversity then perfect stranger which has to be the greatest comeback album of all time in rocks at 3 for me then machine head finally made in Japan at no 5

@Michael Foy, That Guy and Floyd Maxwell....We can agree to disagree....Peace out

This is one of Deep Purple's MOST underrated songs, and one of their BEST!!!!
DEEP PURPLE FUCKING ROCKS!!!!

I was introduced to this band at age 10 (I'm 45 now) and Into The Fire was one of the tracks that my five year older neighbour played. Was an instant favourite, and is one of my absolute favourites to this day! It was recorded in November 1969, this one, and it was extremely heavy for its time. It's still quite grunty, I think.

It's funny how you have a king crimson pictures, and Purple stole this song from Crimson... These are my two favorite bands :)

AspergerL Iron Man riffs are almost exactly the same thing as Into the Fire. They all took something from somebody. Zeppelin is the biggest Rip off Band in History.

"Purple stole this song from Crimson" The first part of the riff is different from the first part of the riff in "Schizoid Man," and the second part of the riff is different from the second part of the riff in "Schizoid Man." That's not stealing.

Everybody borrows from everyone else including themselves.

Brazilian Atlantis sampling

Kurt Sherrick still great though

great deep purple

great rock song

Good quality of the sound!
