Deep Purple's Stormbringer

[marko]

Does anyone know why one album of Deep Purple is named "Stormbringer"?Is there some thread between them and our MM?

[PsychicWarVeteran]

Greetings, marko. MM commented on this a while back. Evidently, DP thought Stormbringer was from ancient myth. You can read MM's story about it here.

[marko]

Thanks,Veteran!!!

To be honest, I'd thought the band had had the grace to change that title. Evidently not.

Did John Martyn ask permission to use the title for his album?

[Michael Moorcock]

Nope. But he didn't bullshit about it, either... :)

I still wonder if they did not Bullshit a bit about the mythological basis you say they claimed mike... There have been gods demons and spirits and what else perhaps ascribed the attribute of bringing on a storm or the ability but they had names-I do not ever remember one in all my reading and my books which was called in itself stormbringer, It's done and over with and the Album has been out for a long while and Ritchie Blackmore has passed. But i kinda think in the face of the Master (you mike) they just knew it was a hot name and it worked and how could they not really know -they could have checked first or had people to do it. Thanks so much for your comments but Which specific myth basis? Did they say?

Blackmores not dead! I don't believe Coverdale for a minute when he says he didn't know where the title for the song (and then the album) had come from. Even the lyrics are sort of about the black blade:

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

What else is that supposed to be?

This is all hilarious. And No! Blackmore hasn't died...he just gone off to join a Renaissance Faire:

How about an MS. found in a fourteen year old's notebook?

She turned him into a neut and he hasn't got better!

[opaloka]

I'd be OK with that. He's pushing 70 and just had two kids!

More virile than Picasso.

Spermbringer is the the little known incantatory brother song of Stormbringer.

Got to keep pumping
Spermbringer coming
Got the gamete you need
Gonna make you not bleed
