Deep Purple - 'Bad Attitude' (official music video)

Take a look at these dirty hands
Take a look at this face, these blazing eyes
Do you see me as a broken man? Oh yeah
Tell me are you really that blind?

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?

You got me locked in a paper cage
You think I'm chained up but I'm just tied down
Step aside, get it out of my way
I won't hurt you, I had enough being pushed around
Oh, yeah

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?

Don't want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change
Oh yeah

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?

Don't want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change

Περίεργη περίπτωση ο δίσκος "The House of Blue Light". Να ξεκαθαρίσω εξ αρχής ότι τον λατρεύω παρότι ακόμη και το συγκρότημα φαίνεται να έχει διαφορετική άποψη (από την δική μου). Χαρακτηριστικές οι δηλώσεις τριών από τους συντελεστές του δίσκου...

Ian Gillan: «I look back at House Of Blue Light, there are some good songs on that record, but there’s something missing in the overall album. I can’t feel the spirit of this band.

I can see or hear five professionals doing their best, but it’s like a football team, it’s not functioning.

It’s like 11 superstars that are playing on the same field but are not connected by the heart or by the spirit.» (Rockpages, 18 September 2014)

Ritchie Blackmore: «I think I played like shit on it, and I don't think anyone else really got that into it.» (Guitar.com, 10 October 2014)

Jon Lord: «House of Blue Light was a weird album and hard to put together. We made the massive mistake of trying to make our music current.

We discovered that people didn't want us to do that.» (Modern Keyboard, 5 February 2017)

Ο δίσκος των Deep Purple "The House of Blue Light" κυκλοφόρησε στην αυγή του 1987. Το τραγούδι "Bad Attitude" είναι το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι του δίσκου. Σύμφωνα με την βιογραφία του Jerry Bloom με τίτλο "Black Knight", το "Bad Attitude" ήταν έμπνευση του κιθαρίστα The Ritchie Blackmore, αν και ως συνθέτες αναφέρονται όλα τα (τότε) μέλη του συγκροτήματος.

Ο Roger Glover (φέρεται να) δήλωσε στο μουσικό περιοδικό Metal Hammer το 1988, ότι το "Bad Attitude" είναι το πιο δύσκολο κομμάτι των Deep Purple για "παιχτεί" ζωντανά. Κυκλοφόρησε και αυτόνομα, ως single, στην Ευρώπη με το τραγούδι "Black & White" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου και στην Αμερική με το "Bad Attitude" και στις δύο πλευρές του.
