This song is considered one of the best tracks recorded by Deep Purple after their reunion in 1984, and it is played frequently in the band's live performances.[2]

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".[3]

"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.

It was part of the following live albums of Deep Purple: Live at The Olympia '96 (1997),[4] Total Abandon: Australia '99 (1999),[5] In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra (2000),[6] The Soundboard Series (2001),[7] Live at the Rotterdam Ahoy (2002),[8] Live at Montreux 1996 (2006).[9]
