Is everyone on here a nine year old with a head full of rocks? Can we not do some research?
Here is the real meaning of this song:
So, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and a few other bands came out to Montreaux, a town in Switzerland to record tha album "Machine Head" with a mobile recording studio that Deep Purple had rented from the Rolling Stones.
During a concert held at the Casino on the shoreline of Lake Geneva, "some stupid with a flare gun" shot a flare into the roof and started a fire. After the evacuation started, the flames spread out across Lake Geneva, bringing in the chorus of "Smoke on the Water, Fire in the sky.".
Soon, it was realized that not everyone made in out, but no one was willing to go back in except Claude Nobs, or "Funky Claude", who ran in and out of the burning casino, pulling burning kids out of the rubble.
After it was all said and done, they had to move the recordings and concert to another place.
@WolfMoccasin The song explains just about the entire story; one just has to listen to it intently. I'm sure some details are left out but that is just Hard RockNRoll for ya! Anyway, the DP original band is ONE of the best hard rock bands ever. To tell every detail of the story would probably take a double album to do. Love um anyway. ROCK ON!
