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.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

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.

@@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 ;-)

[@fatboynick4104]

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!!

[@christerfurberg6538]

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

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.

[@imcrazedandconfused]

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! ❤

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.

[@jasperdevries1726]

Glenn Hughes is amazing now. His shrieking in the seventies was much more of an acquired taste.

[@Hoganply]

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.

[@gregsimon7275]

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

[@NathanSeabolt]

[@antoniocarlin5026]

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.

[@elvwood]

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.

[@KevDaly]

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)

[@tonym480]

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.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

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 😊💜

[@sfeigh]

OOPS!!! This is Ian Gillan on vocals. David Coverdale came into Deep Purple in 1974. Years after this TV performance.

[@madjock-ig5bv]

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😂).

[@ninoorjon]

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

[@ronnienose8608]

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.

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...

[@lawrencefine5020]

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 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.

I could see some of the mystic about legacy bands being selection bias.

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 💋

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:

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

[@stevenewcomer8837]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF7RqpifgNBma68si=occUfaQyYxYDSbI9

Coverdale? Who told you that was Coverdale?

[@johnnewman366]

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 KZbin 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!
