Gillan - On The Rocks (Oxford 1981)

[@andreaspohl1501]

GILAN with On the rocks is one of the greatest rockssongs ever ! For the first time I hear this song on the radioshow SCHLAFROCK at SDR 3 1983, WOW !!!

[@shad7832]

Greatest band in the world

[@andreaspohl1501]

BESTER Rockclassiker aller Zeiten !

[@user-pc4bq1ov6c]

His tone is just amazing. I never get tired of listen to him. He is absolutely unique. Handsome and charming person. Brilliant singer. I’m saying this every time when I’m writing a comment about him: it’s impossible to dublicate him. He is very underrated!!! Great Ian Gillan.

[@monicabarreto8592]

Very good Band!!!!I think Ian Gillan always gives his best

Gillan - superb. And such a tight band. I'm sure this was on TV in the 80's - blew me away.

I remember that tour, I wish I saw it - loved Gillan, loved Budgie! Wasn't a band called Nightwing on the bill too, if memory serves me right? Budgie - what a band, dozens and dozens of amazing songs.

[@davidpenaquilez5003]

esta cancion es simplemente alucinante que recuerdos de mi adolescencia aki poca gente la conoce. GLORY ROAD

[@bloodboughtbigphilr8266]

Superb band. Glory Road their best album. More worthy successors to the Purple crown at that time than Rainbow or Whitesnake and by far the best of the offshoots. Loved "em in the early 80's and still do now.

[@FrostedSeagull]

I have recently read that Gillan suffered the same problema as Ritchie with Rainbow. Band members wanted more money.

[@portcullis5622]

@@FrostedSeagull The Gillan band members wrote a lot of the music, especially Colin Towns, so I don't blame them!

[@FrostedSeagull]

@@portcullis5622 I agree with you. Ian Gillan said that they either couldn't or wouldn't understand that a No.3 charting on the UK charts only does not mean millions of dollars flow in instantly. Colin Downs allegedly wanted an absolutely outrageous amount like £5,000 per week ! Ultimate irony, Blackmore in late '79 told him about the problems he had with Dio. Dio wanted massive royalties and residuals, wanted to be interviewed by the reputable rags as he was lead singer and wanted his picture on every article on Rainbow and receive residuals for these interviews. NOTE - Blackmore had DIO on an iron clad contract. Only recently have I discovered that Ritchie was good friends with Sharon Osbourne and her thug, albeit rich father at that time.

[@dannymartinez9371]

when I see this type of example, I have no problem agreeing that Gillan was/is the best rock singer of all time, even surpassing Dio and Halford and Plant by his (Gillan's) placement and rip and intonation.

[@a.veronese733]

No chance against Halford.

[@portcullis5622]

Definitely up there with Rodgers, Dewar and Dio.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

The bass players headbanging creeps me out. He even had his eyes open.

[@danny8429]

Best thing about (the band) Gillan, as opposed to Blackmore's Rainbow, is that they didn't try to bust into the American market. True artists play, write or paint what they want and not what they feel others want to see or hear. As a result the Gillan band always rocked with force while Rainbow, although often brilliant, became watered down and poppy. Didn't matter if Rainbow was playing arenas while Gillan was playing college venues. Integrity survives, conformity gets lost.

[@LilianaMillan-o9q]

ian gillan 19 FEBRERO 1946

[@FrostedSeagull]

My favourite song of the unrecognized masterpiece that is Glory Road. Hard rock without being moronic " heavy metal." I love Blackmore and Rainbow when Dio sang. Glory Road in my opinion just ahead of Down to Earth and way, way better than any album by Joe Lynn Turner.

[@Kwinquark1]

That is an utterly lucid assessment - I was rather fond of this Album

[@vinylsolution2522]

Joe lynn turner was just boring, and bland. Dio, and Bonnet were huge talents.

Actually he was very successful in his solo adventure outside of the USA,It was cut short bye his voice going out and was reported he had too stop singing for a time or he would loose it.I believe his high notes took a toll during this time period.I think they wrote a piece on this during that time in rolling stone mag.
