How'd you like to show up to a Deep Purple concert and find out 3 of the 5 members aren't even accomplished musicians? To make matters worse, it turns out these characters were part of another prior attempt to bogus tour with the Steppenwolf name! The brief story of Rod Evan's Bogus Deep Purple in 1980 is one of rock's most horrific ha ha, it's crying out to be told as a movie. But in the meantime, recommended blog The New JDP has an excellent post up at their blog that not only tells the story points but has a 5-minute boot of them doing, let me rephrase that, of them butchering Smoke on The Water....The Horror!!
