This is Ian Gillan, NOT David Coverdale. He was pure magic and without auto-tune or pitch correction.
She doesn't care, just buy her merch. That's all she wants
According to Bruce Dickinson's autobiography Ian Gillan was his hero. Listening to this you can clearly see how much he influenced Bruce's vocal style.
This is Deep Purple's BEST lineup by far, but is NOT the original lineup. Just wanted to point that out. And Ian Gillan is the vocalist here, NOT David Coverdale. You read out the actual lineup ... Coverdale was not in it.
I mention it at the end that it was a mistake but as everyone attention spans are pretty small I look forward to the hundreds of comments tell me otherwise 😂
@@SoulSingerDiscovers
MORISSETTE Amon.
Rise up.
Wish 107.5 live and sitting.
No trick is her bare and raw voice.
I bet you've never heard a voice like that. 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscoversBrilliant reply! People who write bitchy comments on videos don't quite grasp that they don't have to watch nor comment. Besides, nobody wants to hear their shit! 😂😂😂
@@charliemac64 So your solution is to write a bitchy comment about my bitchy comment? Brilliant! I watched the entire video and saw that she corrected herself. But when she talked about David Coverdale singing, she had just finished reading out the actual lineup. So she shouldn't really be criticizing others about short attention spans. I could have edited my comment but left it there to make a point about maybe trying to be more accurate and doing better prep. Plus I don't think she ever corrected her statement about this being Deep Purple's original lineup. Finally, this is a PUBLIC forum. If you don't want to "hear their shit", maybe you should just log off. Or piss off. That's an option too.
@@SoulSingerDiscoversFair point, although as you read out Ian Gillan’s name at the beginning (or an approximation to it) you might want to question your own attention span ;-)
This is in fact the second lineup of the band, often referred to as Mark II. For me, soon 62, this it the real deal.
Ian said that he almost regretted writing the vocal line like this, as it was really taxing on his voice doing it night after night on tour. It actually went so far that he persuaded the others to remove it from the set list every once in a while. And the Ritchie the bastard would start playing it anyway :D
I can imagine. They aren’t small notes and they just keep going. I’d rather not do if I’m honest 😓 thanks for watching my dude 😊
“Ritchie the bastard..” 🤣
He may have been a prick to work with, but he’s still one of the greatest guitarists of all time!
Ritchie did it just for spite. He loves c NE and struggle it was his strange sense of humor. To put the guy on the spot every night.😂 top 3 guitarist in the world in his day @shmick6079
In my humble opinion, Gillan is the consummate rock and roll singer. His range is insane. Can hit those nut squeezing high notes. But can hit those delicate notes as well. There are some live songs when he and Ritchie Blackmore trade notes. It's just amazing to listen to. Gillan also sang as Jesus Christ on the album Jesus Christ Superstar. Please give the song Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say) a listen. If his voice doesn't give you the chills, you are not human!!
Ian Gillan on vocals - the original "Jesus Christ Super Star" and imo head and shoulders above Glen Hughes as a vocalist, who basically just did back up vocals for David Coverdale from 1974 to 76.
Jon Lord on Hammond organ - Classical composer and concert pianist in addition to being arguably the greatest rock keyboard player of all time.
The legendary Ritchie Blackmore on guitar - later with Rainbow and Blackmore's Night and previously with Screamin' Lord Such and the Savages amongst others.
The massively underrated Roger Glover on bass (also a better bass player than Glen Hughes imo).
And the fantastic Ian Paice on the drums.
5 of the world's greatest musicians at the time, who combined to make up imo the greatest rock band of all time, who practically defined Heavy Metal in the 70s along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin (I know, I was there - old codger that I am 🤣🤣🤣).
P.S. I don't hate Glen Hughes. Think he's great as well, just not as great as the above. 😉
Love your channel- keep up the great work 😁
P.P.S - if you want to hear DP playing metal with a capital M -"Hard Lovin' Man" from the "in Rock" album (same album as "Child in Time") is about as heavy as they come.
So glad to see you give Ian his chance. I couldn't haver been smiling any bigger when I saw this video post and heard you say my name. Melissa and I loved it and appreciate the video. Big hugs and love from Pa.
The creativity. The technique. The passion. You can still find those in modern artists, but they don't necessarily make it big.
Also....No autotune or beat detector. Live.
Just a quick mention it is not David Coverdale here, it is Ian Gillan.
I do correct myself near the end of the video but I have a feeling most won’t watch that far 🤷♀️
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I did! You will see that from my second post😁
@@SoulSingerDiscovers By the way, if you are tempted by Ian (his voice I mean! :D) I highly recommend checking out his "Mr Universe" LP. It's rather fallen off the radar now but back in the 80's it was one of those Must Have records for any rock fans collection.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Yeah? Now I'm gonna watch all the way through just to spite ya! 🤣
@@dallassukerkin6878 seconded. Really great album. Old enough to have seen him on that tour. I really liked the follow up a lot "Glory Road". There was a special collectors edition with a second album "For Gillan Fans Only" which was good fun. Best track on it for me was "Abbey Of Thelema".
Hope you have a good day.
Kinda ironic that this reaction was posted on Sir Ritchie Blackmore's birthday - Cheers!
Dear Mel,
I think quite a lot of modern musicians have still heard of Deep Purple early when they are learning an instrument.
Althouuuuugh ...
I have heard, that the "May I help you" riff from "Smoke on the Water" in guitar centers is going to be replaced by "Seven Nation Army" almost entirely.
The idea you had about the importance of band rehearsals is incredibly accurate.
When I started to play in more serious heavy rock and heavy metal bands end of the 80s, we rehearsed 3x a week for 3-4 hrs plus gigs. I practiced 2hrs of bass daily for years at home (additionally) in the beginning. Today I am happy to find a band that manages to meet 1x a week, preferably with all members. And I have heard that nowadays there are bands that walk into studios that do not even have a rehearsal room. (I sweettalked the caretaker of our school to give us the key to a storage room, so we can use it as a rehearsal room in late afternoons at the soft age of 15, to start my first band...)
There are for sure things you can only learn if you play together with a band, in one room. I learned nearly everything I know about music this way. We had so much time in the rehearsal room, we covered 35 rock songs from the 60s-80s just for fun, additionally to our original songs. You learn how things work, how good songs are composed, arranged, how the other instrument work in a band context, what is doable and what isn't. All the things you can never learn at home...
And for sure - you experiment a lot more. In times, where you had to buy records at the record store, when you sat by the radios and tv to hear and watch the rare rock programs, and later shared your VHS copies of music and concert videos ... there were very few occasions to glimpse into how modern music is being made. You sucked all information in like a sponge and learned from one another, we talked for hours about music and how to do things. Nowadays, musicians take out their phones and google it and get 37 tutorial videos on YT of how to sweep-pick shred the shit out of your guitar with preset xx on your Quad Cortex ...
With the result that you have guitarists, where all their friends say, that they are THE beast on guitar, but when you bring them up on stage they tell you they can not play with a guitar strap, standing ... because they've never done it.
Not better, not worse, just VERY different ....
But still - there are lots of very talented guys out there, and the starting equipment for musicians is MUCH easier to get, much cheaper and with incredible price/performance ratio, and you are not forced anymore to believe "experts" with their marketing babble and esoteric snake oil ideas of how a guitar works. You can look up the serious stuff in seconds, thank you google.
So, every time has its pros and cons.
Yes, this was an incredible performance. And, easy to notice, it is not really guitar oriented. It's a pretty well-balanced band performance. And Jon Lord is a perfect example of how an organist can be a VERY valuable rock musician with a very small set of possible sounds, compared to a 2020 keyboarder ...
This was a fun video, Mel! See ya in the evening!
Best regards and cheers, my dear dudette!
❤
that's Ian Gillan singing not Coverdale.
Amazing thank you for reacting to this one of the best songs ever made its like the avengers of music everyone has mastered their kraft they just killin it.
That kicks arse! I saw Deep Purple a few years ago in concert. Ian and the Boys Killed It! Check out the song Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple! You are a Perfect Child In Time! Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady! ❤❤❤
Shame its not the original line up as stated. This is Mark 2 with Ian Gillan singing. The original singer was Rod Evans, who sang on Hush for example.
The original soundtrack for Jesus Christ Superstar (brown cover) was sung by Ian Gillian too. HIGHLY recommended
That snare sound though...
Soul singer. Well done on your reaction lassie! Wintersun Alex
There is a few bands out now that are influenced by Deep Purple, and the 70's. One band that fits is Rival Sons check out Too Bad there's 2 version of the song acoustic/studio. I would recommend acoustic. The lead singer voice is insane
Rival Sons is a great band!
This is NOT the original line up, this is se SECOND line up (The Mark II) the first sixties Deep Purple was mood and they play psychodelic and Beatles covers jejeje. When Coverdale and Hughes comes to the band...was The Mark III.
Deep Purple is my all-time favorite band! 💜
And, yes, I agree that Glenn Hughes is an amazing vocalist, and an even more amazing bassist. DP has been lucky to have two such talented bassist/vocalist combos, along with Roger Glover. Seriously, two of the best ever. Marko from Nightwish is also in my top 5 bassist/vocalist combos.
Glenn Hughes is amazing now. His shrieking in the seventies was much more of an acquired taste.
"I can see what's wrong with me
It's in my head
I can see what's gonna be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still
There can be bad blood in all I can see
It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill
I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still"
I posted it was Ian during the video but at the end you noticed your mistake. I do agree that sometimes it is hard to keep up with band's changing line up so bloody much😀.
Just a couple of points, Ian was the original Jesus in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar" album! (Oh and Alice Cooper has done a performance in the USA playing King Herod which is superb, he plays him as Alice😁).
The band had kind of different backgrounds with Lord being originally a classical keyboardist and Paice being inspired by loads of jazz drummers. They kind of merged loads of styles as you can tell from just the one song!
I recently saw a couple of bands here in Scotland who definitely have some Purple in their sounds (along with The Faces, Humble Pie, Black Crowes and much more) in Silveroller and Dewollf who hail from Holland. They have been together for 16 years and were tight as a very tight thing. The drummer/singer is 28 and the his brother the guitarist/singer is 30 so you can guess their ages from when they formed. They were outrageously good.
Enjoyed the video as always and hopefully you will remember who is who next time (I mean I have an excuse, I am bloody ancient😂).
I saw this line up in the early 70s they were absolutely brilliant.
Having relatively older parents, I was exposed to many classics like this, all of which contributed to a lovely array formative memories in my baby metalhead days and influence so many things I'm drawn to currently, however tenuous the connection. Makes me wish I could experience them for the first time again.
Oh, my God, the Scottish accent! Immediately takes me to the Lift Voice Recognition in Scotland skit. Thanks and God Bless!
Eeellleeeevvveeeennnnn!!!! 😂
One the best Hits ever !
Here we see what many modern bands don't utilise.....dynamics
Had a great week in a caravan in St Andrews, ta (my son came over from Glasgow so the whole family was together, spent a day with my daughter flathunting in Dundee). I'm not a big Deep Purple fan - I mostly prefer Ian & Roger's separate work - but I adore this one, which is for me one of the greatest rock songs of all time. My favourite band is modern(ish) though.
Der Song ist vom Album Deep Purple in Rock. Es war das erste Album, dass ich 1970, mit 15 Jahren gekauft habe. Nicht wegen der Musik. Deep Purple kannte ich gar nicht. Mir gefiel einfach dieses faszinierende Cover! Zu Hause, abgespielt auf dem alten Plattenspieler, meine Mutter, it was Lovingme, Away!😮
Great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you my dude 😊
There is no greater insult to Ian Gillan than calling him first Gillian and then David Coverdale 😊. Of course, you can apologize later, but this will not reduce the damage. Coverdale needed Hughes, to come close to matching Gillan's vast range, but they couldn't quite cover him. As for training, Mr. Gillan is not entirely self-taught and he has a technique, although it is very dangerous for the voice, but individuality in this genre implies risk - he is from a musical family, his grandfather was an opera singer, and little Ian sang in the children's choir at church as a child. And deeper training, although it gives good technique, makes singers similar to each other.
It’s not for nothing that you mentioned Jesus Christ, because Ian Gillan was the original Jesus in the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar.
That was a vocalist not from this world!
Thank you Ian Gillan!
Coverdale is also amazing and he is definitely in a league with Gillan,Dio and Plant!
Ian Gillan had already recorded the part of Jesus on the original studio version of Jesus Christ Superstar. He wanted to be a rock singer more, so he joined Deep Purple. Also, when Ian left the band (along with the bass player Roger Glover) they were replaced by David Coverdale & Glenn Hughs. Thanks for the reaction!
Uma das músicas mais geniais de todos os tempos. Expetacular
Do I see Kim Newman's Anno Dracula on your bookshelf? Good choice 😃 I'm sure you know, he has many more good books worth a read 👍
I'm 75 this year and Deep Purple are one of my favourite bands from back in the day. May I suggest a present day Metal Band that might impress you? Japanese Metal Queens Lovebites. Their music is very influenced by bands from the 70's and 80's such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. The vocalist, Asami, has been described by some as a female Bruce Dickinson. The line up includes two of the best guitarists I have ever heard, one of whom is a classically trained pianist.
I’m really looking forward to the lovebites I have them on my list 😊 it is Kim N, really great books. Read them too many times to remember. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment Tony. I really appreciate it 😊💜
Thank you for coming back to Deep Purple this is by far my favorite line up of this band. FYI after this exact performance Andrew Lloyd Weber wanted Ian Gillan to be the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar for his musical. Ian is on the album and studio recording but not the movie.
The difference of the older bands is they sing with feeling. And Guitar players aren't just playing patterns, the older bands never played a song the same way twice, because it wasn't just a pattern to play.. play how you feel.
I have to disagree with your assessment of modern singers and guitarist.... Respectfully 😊😊
It’s very cool to see that Ritchie is tapping the „wrong“ notes in the beginning of his solo…he quickly corrects himself after two beats…! Great, that’s live recording at its best!
These guys started the wheels spinning towards heavy metal bands. Absolutely Genius
Thanks for watching my dude 😊
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
That's The Unholy Trinity
holy yakuza you mean
Many of the bands of this era were very serious musicians (also one of the reasons there tended to be a lot of internal tensions). That makes a difference. Too many modern musicians are either studio creations or spend too much time listening to people tell them how wonderful they are (it's not the ego that's the problem but the fact that it's premature or unearned)
If you look up the meaning behind this song you will find it is a protest song for thr USAs involvement in Vietnam. To bad Richie and Ian couldn't get along
Ian says it's about the Cold War not Viet Nam
If you like Glenn Hughes vocals, listen to Trapeze, "Medusa" & "You Are The Music, We're Just The Band" albums from the early 70's! Love this video! Ian Gillan & the band are all fantastic! I like the Deep Purple with Coverdale & Glenn Hughes on bass, also! Grew up with this lineup in the video!
DEEP PURPLE FOREVER!!!
Yes.
As far as guitarist go..... SRV Live at the El Macambo Texas Floods
It's going to be a very long time until the 🌎 is blessed with someone on that level again
Please do a reaction video to that
Great reaction ❤ you should react to taste what's going on live at the isle of wight
El mejor vocalista de Deep Purple,excelente 👍👏👏
This is Ian Gillan. David Coverdale replaced him as DP's singer before Ritchie Blackmore (founder) disbanded DP. David Coverdale went on the develop his own band, Whitesnake. Coverdale shared leads with Glover's replacement (Bassist), Glenn Hughes. DP regrouped in 1984 with this lineup. Then Ritchie left the band to create new music. His replacement is Steve Morse. Jon Lord (keyboardist) died few years ago. His replacement is Don Airey. Morse left the band in 2022.
If I hadn't already subbed, I would have if only for the Knights of the round table rendition on the piano accordion!👍
Thank you for doing Deep Purple. Please, do more! There are so many great songs and performances from this band. I personally prefer the 70s when the music wasn't so commercial and boxed in. As soon as it gets around '77/78 it gets incredible boring to me and it keeps on being boring more or less from then on. Who chooses the videos for you? This version of "Child in time" isn't their best by a long shoot. Do yourself a favour and check out another version or 10! The one from "Made in Japan" is a classic that many consider the best version but isn't on video. There are other versions to check out though for example try it from "Live in Denmark '72". Great version. At least better than this you've just done. The studio version from "In Rock"-album is great too. Cheers!
This is the best Deep Purple, and one of the best modern songs EVER
This is one of my favorite live Purple vids. Next to Mandrake Root. THE highs the singer hits? good googily moogily
Great song
I sound like my father, but this was real music. ... the stuff from today is 99% robot shii
Lord, Blackmore, Paice, Gillan e Glover, la migliore hard rock band di sempre.
Deep Purple were Heavy Metal and definitely the first band to be called Heavy Metal in Australia about 1971.
Then came Black Sabbath who were NOT orriginally called Heavy Metal but Led Zepplin were when released here a short time later.
Just because the new Heavy Metal musicians and fans were not born when Heavy Metal was first established does not mean the original Heavy Metal bands are or were not Heavy Metal.
The big difference was that the early Metal bands could play Blues and Jazz and mostly played hard or heavy rock and other genres, like skiffle ( English jug band music )......the stuff most of the new commers can not play.
Luuvlehh! Luuvlehh! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm guilty! Not only did I watch the video to the end, I'm sometimes even reading comments. I'm old!
Talking "attentions spans": Back in 1981, there was this bunch of guys, baking cake and cookies in what formerly was a kitchen. Some 6 meters away from where I'm sitting right now (as the raven flies). Stephan had chosen to make an apple cake. A pie kinda thing (means: it has a crust on top). The recipe was not written very well. Only in the last sentence it said: "And don't forget to poke some holes, to let some moisture evapourate, while baking."
Stephan obviously hadn't read that far. We had it with a spoon, in result. It WAS edible, but: well...
Could you please as a request for a suggestion to react to my favorite symphonic viking metal band wintersun from Finland? They are a sister bands to 2 other symphonic metal bands Epica and Nightwish. I would recommend that you start off with wintersun sons of winter and stars live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studios in Helsinki Finland. Next is wintersun time live rehearsal video. Then follow up with wintersun land of snow and sorrow live rehearsal video. Also listen to wintersun loneliness lyric video too. So come and join the rest of us in the wintersun world wide wintersun symphonic viking metal army ! Thank you much love wintersun Alex ❤️
why are you talking about David Coverdale? This is Ian Gillan
Yes
I could see some of the mystic about legacy bands being selection bias. There always is a ton of solid bands that will never be well known, even many that developed a following in prime become increasingly niche over time. Bands that are being recommended decades after their prime are probably going to be among the best of their era.
❤
It's so great to see people getting exposed to older "proto-metal" (totally made that up, I apologize). I also agree that it's not true that older vocalist stylings are superior to modern stuff and vice/versa-it's important to see the big picture and how the musical stew simmers over time. That's one of the best things about the art form, the tributaries that form from the river of musical expression. In the end, if it moves you, it moves you :D
Deep Purple are one of those legacy bands, like Thin Lizzy, where I always think "I really need to listen to more of them" but never get round to it. Now, I did get round to listening to more TL so I have hope I'll get round to to more DP*. I think the problem with DP* is you get introduced with Smoke on the Water and for some reason I never wanted to listen to more after listening to that. This song definitely piqued my interest WAY more than Smoke on the Water. Great song!
*As a whore, I'm intentionally using the acronym
Any Morbid Angel
Ian Gillan sang the role of Jesus on the original 1970 recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. Actually, THE best version on Child In Time is on the 1972 live album Made In Japan. The three most influential heavy rock bands of all-time are Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, having influenced pretty much every rock and metal band becalse they were the pioneers. Purple alone has influenced Iron Maiden, Queen, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, The Sweet, Metallica, to name but a few.
That wasn't David Coverdale in this performance, it was Ian Gillan. Both great vocalists! Great reaction video
Thank you Jim😊
You can tell the crowd wasn’t ready for that one 😂
they were told yto be quiet for the recording.
@@wout123100 yeah but they have no emotion either. I guess they also instructed them to not emote 😂
Huh, I always thought the word purple had an r in it....😂
Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
He’s name is Ian Gillian.
*His name
@@SoulSingerDiscovers whatever floats your boat.
Coverdale? Who told you that was Coverdale?
As others have said, it is Ian Gillan on vocals but i do agree that Glenn Hughes had a great voice. I don't like it better than Gillan but i do prefer it over Coverdale.
no shade on Deep Purple but I think it's rock and not metal.... still a great band
And regarding what is better it's in the browneye of the beholder..... you will like the lineup of a band when you discovered it and fell in love with it but generally as in everything else it evolves and us old farts could not do what is being done nowadays while the current musicians can do what we did without breaking a sweat.
Oh I might add that I also think that older music is more genuine and interesting, now everything showed to the wider audience is commercialized and in a lot of cases soulless.... still stick to my point that the musicians themselves are way better that we ever where.
Ian Gillan is the vocalist
This is NOT Coverdale, it's IAN GILLAN.
I came flying in to give a witty, one word "Yes!" as an answer ... but I am too old and slow it seems and have been beaten to the punch :lol:
I appreciate it all the same 😂💜
David Coverdale aka Ian Gillan. Both great singers but not quite in the same register.
True words my dude 😊
They just don't make em like Deep Purple anymore (had to get my "get off my lawn" Boomer comment in there first).
But it's true.
Although today's Metal bands have the technical prowess to amaze you with their shredding capabilities, they just can't match the pure ferocity of bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. Those bands just had more heart and soul and brilliantly written SONGS today's bands just do not have.
It's the songs that are the difference.
Child In Time is probably overplayed, but it's a song that's so good in quality that I don't mind hearing it for the millionth time.
Song quality make's a big difference.
Not slagging today's bands, but there's something missing with today's Metal, and that's song quality.
Child In Time deserves it's status and an all timer in my book.
The musicianship was better --- among those bands that excelled. There was also a fair share of crap that nevertheless was temporarily popular. Today, it's extra hard to make music a career because everybody has grown to expect free music.
Ian Gillan singer!Not David!!!
Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video without telling me you didn’t watch the whole video 😂
It's hard to keep track of names in any band when you're seeing so many new (to you) bands, so the layer of difficulty with bands like Deep Purple makes it really problematic. It's different if you have grown up following specific bands, so you shouldn't feel to bad about making mistakes. Deep Purple had a large number of line-up changes, including three different vocalists within 4 years. (69-73)
If you want a few artists inspired by Deep Purple, have you heard of Metallica? ua-cam.com/video/yNbZIlYul-s/v-deo.htmlsi=kpteiUXzTioqrXtf
Thank you so much for this, it was really disheartening trying to explaining to commenters that I have nothing but respect for the band but they are not bands I know so I will make mistakes. Thanks for watching my dude 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I was a big fan of Deep Purple in their second line-up, and the next line-up with David Coverdale & Glen Hughes, also with the Blackmore/Dio combo in Rainbow. I would recommend Rainbow - Stargazer if you haven't already checked it out
The singer, Ian Gillan, is the only untrained musician in this version of Deep Purple.
Coverdale was probably trained in jazz vocals, as he did sing like a big band jazz singer.
Ian Paice was trained in Jazz drumming.
Jon Lord was a skilled Pipe Organ ( big church and cathedral organs ) player and probably classically trained.
Both Jon and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore added a lot of Classical music to the Rock genre.....a hell of a lot of fast Bach.
When you hear a guitar being shred, that is either Bach or a Bach ripp off being played.
If you haven’t, you need to hear Miljenko Matijević of SteelHeart. He is the best Rock vocalist, bar none! Their songs, “I’ll Never Let You Go”, “She’s Gone”, and “Can’t Stop Me Lovin’ You”, are unbelievable! There is NO comparison between the singers of the past and today. Musicians and vocalists from the past studied and practiced their art for thousands of hours. Today they have Pitch Correction and Auto Tune and the Music Industry needs to LABEL all music that used these technologies so people know what they are buying just as they do “Explicit Lyrics” today. These are NOT effects. These technologies completely replace the original vocal imperfections and replace them with AI generated vocals. FAKE!!!
“I’ll Never Let You Go” - SteelHeart

Ian gillan not coverdale on this song coverdale could not hit these notes if you put his balls in a vice !
Oh, and Ritchie Blackmore without a strat just looks wrong.
90 to 95% of you tube reactors don't have a clue. She made a mistake right away by calling it the original then spends time talking about the wrong
singer.Of course she corrects herself so all should be forgiven so please subscribe and send money and don't forget to buy my merch . That way she continue bring you thse quality reactions
Good news nb! (no pic or name, anonymity sure is nice isn’t it lil gangster) you are actually not legally obliged to subscribe, nor is there a punishment for not buying merch. But seeing as you have watched a whole 1 video and clearly you know better than I, why dont we make a deal. I will PayPal you $50 (which is more than I have ever been paid for a video because I am by no means a wealthy woman from old men getting shitty at me online) for making a video that out strips my video in; Visual quality/audio quality/editing skill/design/concept and that you are in the video; more engaging/more charismatic/more funny/more well presented. If you can do that I will concede happily that you know best. Oh! What’s that? You dont think making a video better than mine can be made for $50?? You might be right. So why not sit back, stfu, and realise you are consuming for free that which you cannot replicate, you silly, silly sausage 💩
P.S I also have a BA Hons First Class in Performance and a Masters with Honours in Songwriting from the University of the West of Scotland, so I do expect you to explain your deep academic background in your video also. Don’t have an education that applies here?? Better get reading 💋
Ian Gilan,.. Ian Gilan ,........ on vocals !!!!
Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video without telling me you watched the whole video 😂
IAN GILLAN BLOWS DAVID COVERDALE OUT OF THE WATER YOU CANT COMPARE THE TWO
...IT'S LIKE SAYING WHO"S BETTER PAUL DIANNO OR BRUCE DICKINSON INCOMPARIBLE
Oh, god. You are cluless!
Thanks for the engagement Helen 💋
Three words: Made In Japan
It’s Gilan singing not Coverdale but Coverdale, Dio, Paul Rodgers and Steve Perry are easily the best male singers. Shirley Bassey for female. Modern singers don’t have anywhere near the feeling. Range or perfect tone any of these have in my opinion. Same with modern day musicians.
First - There is an old saying:
“Put brain in gear before putting mouth in motion”, something you failed at, yes? Do research BEFORE reaction, yes?
Gillan, not Coverdale and Glover not Hughes.
Second - Deep Purple is NOT a metal band, repeat NOT a metal band, they can do a very wide range of music styles, a better label is a “Hard Rock” band, not metal.
Anyway.......
Deep Purple formed in 1968, “Child in Time” was recorded in early 1970 for “In Rock”, and here today, 2024, they are still together and touring.
Three of the five who played on that 1970 TV studio recording are still there:
* Ian Gillan - vocals
* Roger Glover - bass
* Ian Paice - drums
* Jon Lord - keyboards - retired 2002, died 2012
* Ritchie Blackmore - lead guitar - quit 1993
* Don Airey - keyboards - replaced Jon Lord in 2002
* After Blackmore quit mid tour in 1993, Joe Satriani stepped in as a ‘touring’ member for about a year.
* Steve Morse was the full time lead guitar replacement and was in the band from 1994 to 2022 (longer than Blackmore), he retired to look after his wife who has cancer.
* Simon McBride - lead guitar - replaced Morse in 2022
It’s now 56 years since Deep Purple was formed, and YES they’re still going strong!
Cheers,
Shakespeare once said ‘if someone uses cap locks in their UA-cam comment to give you patronising shit for not researching on a piece of media they are consuming for free, despite the fact it was a reaction where I’m not supposed to know anything yet, and I did infact correct my mistake but their goldfish brain couldn’t last till the end of the video then fuck em’.
It’s a long quote but words to live by John. Words to live by!

Goodbye
Bye boo boo 💋💋💋
ian gillan on vocals not david coverversion
Sorry but you are mixing up David Coverdale, with this one who is the original singer of Deep Purple…who is Ian Gillan!
I corrected myself at the end of the video. Apologies 😊
Today artists use auto tune. You have no idea if they can really sing. Have you heard about auto tune?
I have been in the music industry for over 15 years so yes, I know what it is and I would offer that yes they didn’t have the tech then but it doesn’t mean we don’t have phenomenal vocalists now. In fact Tori Kelly/Layla Hathaway/Jazmine Sullivan would all sing Ian under the table but that’s also not the point. Era does not define superiority. Auto tune is not a replacement for talent.
