* While recording ''Burn'', Glenn Hughes' ex-girlfriend sent him an envelope of a white powder he thought was cocaine. It turned out to be PCP, but by the time he found that out it was too late. He decided his best bet was to act casual, which did not work at all. Some of the highlights include a conversation with David Coverdale he ''thought'' was in perfect German but turned out to be gibberish, and going to take a piss but being unable to find his cock.

* Steve once tries commenting on the fact that he greatly admires the band and believes they are important to the history of rock 'n roll, and deserve to be remembered. Unfortunately, he chose to say that [[ThatCameOutWrong "the band ought to be institutionalized" to express this]], cuing a lot of laughter from the others.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6gtYZY3PO4 Roger and Paicey once listened to a bunch of songs]] that they've either covered as Purple (and Rainbow in Roger's case), or that other bands have covered of theirs.
