(Rock News Desk) Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover is sick of rock bands being compared to Metallica when they decide to work with orchestral instruments.Glover's outfit have just started a tour with a 28-piece orchestra, but it's not their first foray into such waters – they recorded then-keyboardist Jon Lord's Concerto for Group and Orchestra in 1969.
"When you mention rock bands and orchestras everyone says, 'Oh, like Metallica,'" the bassist says. "It sticks in my throat a little bit – nothing against Metallica, but bands have been doing it way before Metallica." more rock news
