Deep Purple cover
Maybe a bit indulgent but a great song by a great band. The guitars and bass are me. The vocals are a friend of mine, Jim Miller (7th on Soundcloud) the drums are Addictive Drums and the organ is a combination of 2 organs and a Rhodes. This is pretty authentic except for the end tag which I made up my own or nailed it. I never listed to it to get it exact but everything else is. Enjoy!!! https://soundcloud.com/ro-34/smoke-on-the-water

I loved these guys back in the day.
Nice work on the cover. Pretty faithful to the original.
You nailed that distorted B3 and overloaded bass nicely.
Guitars, singing... all nicely done.

When I was a younger and much furrier Wookling I played drums. One of the bands I played with then covered this along with a couple of other Purple tunes.
Sounds good to me and pretty close to the original.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice job! Very true to the original while not being exactly the same. The mix is thick and solid which IMO works well for this song. The vocalist pulled off a nice cross between Ian Gillan and more modern styles (like James LaBrie) too. Oh... and I liked your channeling of Richie on the solo.

Very interesting rendition, your singer is a dead ringer for Joe Walsh. That's a good thing. I think the drums are too far back in the mix, however back in the day that's the way they did it. Also, sometimes when your dealing with programs like EZdrummer or Addictive Drums it's easy to get carried away. I would keep it simple as possible. I'm also thinking that the guitar was bigger than the lead vocal but if that's the way you want it that's okay as well..
Very cool!

Excellent cover, Robert. Really nice Bass tone. I like the distorted B3 as well, any tricks you care to share on nailing that tone so well.

Wow very impressive Robert you nailed the songs vibe and sound for sure ... I take it that you were doing your own thing and maybe that may account for a lot of reverb on the guitar during the intro ... Either way you did a great rendition of the song .. Lady Gaga would be proud I enjoyed how you played tribute to Ritchie Blackmore ...that sure is one fine solo you did there . In my book , that in itself speaks volumes  Kenny

Thank you for the checking it out and all the kind words. I really appreciate it.
The B3 was 2 organs from Dimension pro and a Rhodes from Addictive Keys. I had trouble finding an organ that worked and ended up using those 3 instruments. On each audio track, for the 3 keyboards, I used Waves CLA Effects to add distortion. I believe Lord used to run his B3 through a Marshall. Thinking back, I don't know why I didn't try running through Amplitube other than CLA has a lighter CPU load.
Lady Gaga was Jim's idea. He was going to just use Lady Gaga and the mothers but that didn't sound right so I suggested Voyeurs. My wife told me that Lady Gaga calls her followers her little monsters so we settled on "Lady Gaga and the Monsters."

I love this song.
I am only listening to this on my laptop speakers, from that perspective, the drums could be tweaked a little, I can't hear the kick. The vocals seem to have a bit to much reverb.
The lead guitar is SWEET, and the organ is great too, as well as the central riff. The backing vocals are well done.
nice work g-pima

Hey there. Robert is it? Nice spread, stereo-wise! Vocal's just perfect re volume/compression. Maybe a few tweaks needed on pitch here and there, but not too much. Like the take ... edgy and retro.
Only thing is the drums for me. The snare sounds like an old sampled kit, but if that's all ya got, you're working it just fine. A little louder and brighter maybe? Kick and toms up a notch too. Fuzz tone on the guitar is cool - retro. Would like it to spread out a little bit with a tad of delay or reverb?
Nice cover overall! Fun listen.

Rock on Robert & Jim.
Drums feel just bit to flat (tonality) to me.
Bass is right on.
