Kiss, Deep Purple, Yes, and Peter Gabriel are among the nominees for the 2014 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other classic rock hopefuls include Linda Ronstadt, Cat Stevens, Hall and Oates, and the Zombies.

If you've been meaning to collect all of Deep Purple's LPs from their peak decade, things just got a whole lot easier for you: This fall, Rhino Records will release the box set 'Deep Purple: The Complete Albums 1970 - 1976.'

Purple Pyramid's ongoing series of tribute records has offered new re-recordings of hits by a growing list of artists that includes Genesis and Yes. The latest offering pays tribute to the Steve Miller Band.

He actually submitted a resignation letter to the band while still on tour promoting 1973's 'Who Do We Think We Are.'

The guys in Deep Purple are celebrating their 45th anniversary with another album and the latest round of tour dates. But if Metallica's Lars Ulrich had anything to say about it, they'd also have a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"Live", 'Live', 'Live' , it appears a major portion of June is 'live album' month with the new goods being released whether it's by design or by accident, I'm not really sure.

Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, The Doobie Brothers and Iggy and the Stooges are in our first group of new or reissued music, DVD for June.

Every time we talk classic rock we manage to always mention groups like The Rolling Stones, The Moody Blues, Styx, John Fogerty, Deep Purple, Rod Stewart, and Judas Priest before it's all said and done.

It was in fun teasing the fans about the upcoming album but they certainly got a lot of mileage out it.

April is a fun month, not only diving in into Record Store Day (April 20th) but it's a new month which means new music.

There's a starting point for everything in life and for Deep Purple it all got under way in 1968. Ever wonder what can we do next (?) well with Deep Purple the new album is appropriately titled, 'Now What?!'

It's been an up-and-down year between Deep Purple fans and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- the band was finally nominated for induction into the Hall, but didn't make it in. Keyboard player Don Airey seems to be taking it all in stride, though; as he put it during a recent interview, "I don't think the band really care, actually."
