Ian Desrosiers on Twitter explains similarities between “Rockstar” by Warpig and Deep Purple’s song

“Fireball.”

Notes that there are hints of “Speed King” and “Hard Lovin’ Man” in this song.

Some speculate DP was playing this live and that Warpig stole it from them.

DP don’t exactly have a clean track record to support this.
