Instead, a bass solo played by Roger Glover is followed by a Jon Lord organ solo. "Fireball (Take 1 - Instrumental)," a bonus track on the remastered album, features a guitar solo near the end, after the fade-out of the original version. It is one of the few Deep Purple songs to feature Ian Paice using double bass drums. When performed live, before double pedals were available, a second bass drum was added to Paice's drum
The Chosen Few (1970s Australian band) The Chosen Few (1970s Australian band) The Chosen Few were an Australian punk band which formed in 1978. Three founding band mates were all from an earlier hard rock band, Deathwish: Ian John Cunningham on bass guitar (later on lead vocals), Calum "Cal" McAlpine on drums and Iain Weaver on lead vocals (died 1995). They were soon joined by Bruce Friday on lead guitar. The Chosen Few formed in the Mornington Peninsula and played a combination of covers of United States-influenced punk (MC5, Stooges) and hard driven original numbers inspired by Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls and The Saints.
