🎵 Music Fact of the Day Did you know that one of the most famous guitar riffs in rock history was inspired by a real disaster? In 1971, the band Deep Purple was in Montreux, Switzerland to record their album Machine Head. During a concert by Frank Zappa at the Montreux Casino, someone in the audience fired a flare gun into the ceiling — causing a massive fire that destroyed the building. As the band watched the smoke drift across Lake Geneva, the image inspired the title of their legendary song “Smoke on the Water.” The simple but powerful guitar riff later became one of the most recognizable riffs in rock music history.
