Smoke on The Water was released in 1972 and is actually based on a true event, the fire at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland. Guitarist, Richie Blackmore was one of the pioneers that made the guitar riffs harder and the solos more ambitious with Deep Purple. Aside from being in the Grammy Hall of Fame, Smoke on the water was also included in Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, it was #4 in Total Guitars Magazine's Greatest Guitar Riffs, #12 on Q Magazine's Greatest Guitar tracks and more. In 2017 the song was inducted in to the Grammy Hall of Fame. My apologies as I accidenttally ended the video just before the music stopped. 😎
