* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: At a band meeting to pick a name, Blackmore suggested the standard "Deep Purple", because it was his grandmother's favourite song and she would often pester him to play it. Everybody else agreed to the suggestion.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Ritchie Blackmore disliked "When A Blind Man Cries".
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Mark <insert Roman numeral>; the current incarnation of the band is considered to be Mark VIII. Also, Man in Black for Ritchie Blackmore, due to his name and his preference for darker clothing.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: No, bassist Glenn Hughes of Marks III and IV isn't one of the [[Village People]]. And the album ''Stormbringer'' may not be related to [[Michael Moorcock]]'s work, or at least David Coverdale claims.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Joe Satriani]] was asked to fill in for Ritchie Blackmore after he left the band for good in the middle of a tour. The band asked him to formally join, but contractual obligations prevented him from doing so.
