Exactly! And that guitar work by Ritchie Blackmore? Just mind-blowing. You can hear his influence all the way into modern metal.
I remember discovering ‘Burn’ in my teenage years. At first, the sound was so different from the classic rock I was used to – it felt heavier and more intense. It got me hooked on hard rock and its evolution.
