Most delusional rock band ever

[Vision]

To me it clearly is Deep Purple.

According to their talent, musicianship,potential and complementarity they had the assets to leave a bigger mark than they actually did.Until 73 or 74 they were in the supreme league with Sabbath,Zeppelin,Yes,Who,Floyd and some times even the Stones and the Ramones...but they broke into pieces in an example of egocentrism that Blackmore and Glover are to be straight blamed for.Paice and Lord keept it without Gilian ( another egolatric with enormous talent) but Coverdale and Hughes could never fill that hole.

Some bands are made as a sum of the parts being, no matter how much talented , even inferior to the totality as the LZ case provides ( and Pink Floyd too).In DP case, unfortunately it was just the other way back.And no Dio or Ozzy, well past their prime had the right to dirty the legacy of Mark 2...

I am always very hard with this band, that I always believed was promised all time greatness.But they didn´t have what their admired Zepp had, and that was a vision, a mission and the unity of soul and mind... so much unfortunately¡¡¡

Of course, the Stones have not been a rock band ever since "Some Girls"

I think Brian Wilson literally had delusions with the failed original attempt at making SMiLE but at least we got Pet Sounds out of him and a bunch of other great songs before he cracked.

 

[MatsPhilander]

CSNY.

 

[r2473]

Led Zeppelin. Just a cover band posing as a legit rock band. Sad.

Ahhh! I see there is no need now. The return of @kiki was short lived. Who turned him in???

They couldn't be reached for comment.

 

[stringertom]

Kiki/Vision's delusion was well documented by Foreigner in their classic hit Double Vision.

 

[chrischris]

Journey tied with Todd Nugent or is Ted Nogent ? lol..

 

[TheMuzziah]

Dunno about the most delusional band, I do know which club has the most delusional set of fans though

Hint: their legend looks like a shoe

Everton? Or that other red lot?

 

[TheMuzziah]

Everton? Or that other red lot?

Check my edit

Dont worry, that other red lot is not far behind

Didn't I hinted to comeback with an unimaginative/inconspicuous username like in my case, it would be 5core in lieu of Vcore? He tried to deviate away from being the kickster yet he chose to attack DP--which I had zero intention to reply.

It's a pity but anyway he already came back with another username announcing his vacation in the States.

...I wonder who turned him in? Definitely not me!

What got them the chuck in the first place? Astrology?

 

[Dilettante]

but Coverdale and Hughes could never fill that hole.

"Burn" is one of the best Deep Purple albums, if not the best. They were magical at that point. That album is flawless

Gillan had a good scream, I loved his voice in "Made in Japan", but honestly, he was never in the Coverdale-Hughes' league as a singer.

Really?

 

[Bartelby]

Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor was just a tribute band.

 

[v-verb]

KISS

 

[Shroud]

The Sisters of Mercy.

They got into it with the record co and never made more than 3 albums in 20+ years and their site says they are a Rock Band which IMHO is the height of delusion cause they never were:

[GS]

Men Without Pants. (They thought they'd get a lot of chicks with that name, but it didn't work out.)

 

[Frost5541]

what about Fred Durst's band?!?!

 

[Dilettante]

Really?

Yes, really.

Oh, and Arthur Brown did Gillan's scream at least as good as Gillan himself.

 

[70sHollywood]

Smashing Pumpkins, though really it's just Billy Corgan.

 

[Nostradamus]

AC DC and KISS. these two bands just made a lot of noise and people thought they were great and kept on paying $60 per ticket to see them and made them into billonares

 

[Vcore89]

Really?

Is he trying hard to cry out loud [very muted]?

 

[stringertom]

Is he trying hard to cry out loud [very muted]?

Dunno...all I know is he had some pipes back then with some wonderful range.

 

[Simon_the_furry]

what about Fred Durst's band?!?!

I actually like Limp Bizkit. But I could agree with you about the delusion there.

 

[stringertom]

Well, maybe the OP has some good reasons to think DP didn´t live up to expectations.At least, partially, or at least, after the end of 1973.They were five talented players, with sound musicianship ( specially Lord and Blackmore) but not a united band.Unfortunately IMHO.

In tennis terms, and in their era they would be the Nastase of the 70´s.The talent was there, the atittude ...not so much.

Thanks OP!

[durruti]

depending on your expectations.Foggath,Uriah heep,Doors...

 

[mmk]

Live, they said they were going to be bigger than U2

 

[Simon_the_furry]

Listen to their first album, Mental Jewelry. It's incredible.

 

[beernutz]

Anyone remember The Knack? They were supposed to be the next Beatles, as was Oasis. I can't say I thought much of either band.
