1996 single by Deep Purple

"Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" is a song on Purpendicular, Deep Purple`s first studio album featuring guitarist Steve Morse, which was released in February 1996. The song was released as a CD single with the song "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic".[1]

Steve Morse remembered the creation process of the song: "`Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming` started as me noodling, playing quietly to myself. Roger and Jon heard what I was doing and said, `What was that, again? Let`s see if it`ll work with this.` It became a song that day. Any idea could grow from a sprout into a tree".[2]

"Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" was one of the first songs that was recorded with Steve Morse on guitar. It includes a boasting melodic style and vocal outbursts by Ian Gillan and closes with a repeated guitar solo by Morse.[citation needed]

It was part of the following live albums of Deep Purple: Live at The Olympia `96 (1997),[3] Total Abandon: Australia `99 (1999),[4] In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra (2000),[5] The Soundboard Series (2001),[6] Live at the Rotterdam Ahoy (2002),[7] Live at Montreux 1996 (2006).[8]
