Apple Podcasts Reviews:

• Daverooni from the US – 5 Stars!
  • Perfect Strangers no more
  • Ive always considered myself a casual Deep Purple fan and more of a Rainbow guy. I went into this podcast expecting to check in on the occasional episode. After a handful of Rainbow and Ozzy episodes, I knew that the format would lend itself to my enjoyment of the Purple albums I only ever glossed over. I’m now a hooked fan of both the podcast and the band. In middle school my lit class had a project where we got to make a three song soundtrack for this book we were reading. I chose Deep Purple’s Perfect Strangers even though it wasn’t relevant to the book. At the time I had a copy of Stone Cold Metal(a compilation Stone Cold Steve Austin’s favorite metal songs) and wanted to shoehorn that track in somewhere because I enjoyed it so much(and it was the entrance music to a wrestler that I liked, “The Franchise” Shane Douglas). The other two songs were Fly by Sugar Ray(as was the style at the time) and a techno remix of the X Files theme…one out of three aint bad. P.S. Stone Cold Metal features DPP alum Dio and Rainbow as well(here’s a loosely related episode for ya!
