I always had an idea of how complex Deep Purple's song Burn was, even was I was a small boy first hearing it in the '70's. Back then, semi-proggy bands like King Crimson, ELP, and Yes were most often praised for their often elaborate compositions. But, for me at least, Deep Purple had always been far more interesting than the above mentioned bands. Maybe it was because they were "hard rock". in any case, back then they were favored by me above all others besides Black Sabbath (and yes, as embarassing as it seems today, Kiss was about even with 'em at the time. Things change...). But I never realized HOW complex Burn has always been until endeavoring recently to cover it with my band. The number of chords, scalar intricacies, and sheer length of the track is staggering to say the least. I've covered Malmsteen, Rhoads, Van Halen, and Testament, but Burn is challenging even when stacked up against them. To wrap this up, Burn has even more admiration and respect from me; that's saying alot, considering that it's been one of my all time favorite songs since I was very young. http://www.soundclick.com/andydigelsominaslyraka

That is a must listen too as well.
