Well, `Smoke on the Water` is a big, big part of my history and a big part of why I`m here and able to do what I do. I couldn`t really ignore that, but at the same time, you have to recognize that a lot of those songs, [like] `Smoke…` , `Child In Time` , `Highway Star` , etc. are snapshots in time and cannot be improved. They are what they are. It would be foolish to try and recapture that magic, because you can`t. So, what I did with `Smoke on the Water` was to treat it respectfully, it`s a fairly regular version, but use it as a showcase for some of the guitarists to work with. On there you have Jeff Healey , Steve Morse , Joe Satriani … The talent there is incredible.
