Glenn is and always been by far one of my absolute favorite Legends ❤ love Glenn's honesty
This old man can rock so much better than all the NEW bands around 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What can you say about the man... a true legend, still kicks ass.
Best voice in rock music.
Such a lovely soul is Glenn.
Now. This is a legend.
One of the Greatest Rock Vocalist of all Time. No one else I know can STILL sing the way they did at the start 40 plus years later.
Hughes > Coverdale
What a character. I fucking love this guy.
Glenn Hughes is a legend. He’s 67 but he can still sing like he’s 20.
This is probably the only guy from that era godly-status kind, that still acts and looks fresh, not locked in the past like I'd say all of his contemporaries, even the way he speaks, its all about the attitude.
One of the most underrated musicians in rock.
I find it utterly astonishing with what Glenn puts his voice through, that you'd never know he is a lead singer, just talking to him. You'd expect his voice by now to be cracked and dry as a dusty bone, but no. And he's STILL got his midlands accent! Love ya Glenn.
Glenn is a special legend and the 🌎will never see another Glenn
He still has his voice after all these years. I’ve heard him perfectly hit all the high notes at recent concerts.
The guy is old as skeletor but can still sing like hes 20. A serious rock legend.
joey Leverton 66
The Voice of Rock! Saw Glenn's last two solo tours. Tremendous live shows.
He looks good for his age!
@@MikeHermetic Glenn has been to hell and back. And in his convos with the crowd at shows, all we feel is gratitude and love. It's an amazing comeback story from essentially almost being dead.
joey Leverton how old is Skeletor?
The most of any persons character I admire, is honesty and Glenn has given me pride to be British, because honesty is a rare thing these days. Bless you Glenn !!!!!
Deep Purple took a real chance of two lead singers...boy did it pay off...Burn is one of my alltime faves.
Not to mention one of their best records
And Stormbringer.
Ace of Spades great title track. Terrible album
@@tomodonnell878 Stormbringer is better than Burn and Come Taste the Band
Zach Clayton well music is subjective of course but at the same time...
No
it's funny that a guy from Cannock, which is part of an area called The Black Country gets told by an american band that they came up with the name Black Country. Glenn is a legend! Great interview.
those are some deep purple sunglasses
+Michael Simpson pha-dum tsssss
"shades of deep purple". \o/
Michael Simpson Which Shade of Deep Purple?
...black night
He wears Black ones on Sunday! 🤔
Much respect for the interviewee AND interviewer.
This is the stuff we have been wanting to hear about for years
Trapeze was a killer band too. They were funky , heavy and talented. They were like Humble Pie meets Judas Priest . And Glenn is the equal of Halford and Marriott , which is saying a lot
Fun fact - Trapeze's drummer was Dave Holland, who was Priest's drummer for ten years.
Trapeze actually had a member whose voice was pretty similar to Glenn. Check out Fighting Back by Cloven Hoof, it's the same guy.
Saw Glenn with Deep Purple on the Burn tour when I was very young. My dad took me. August 10th 1974? I still have the ticket somewhere. It was in the Astrodome, it was packed and Deep Purple were loud as fuck! Dio's band Elf opened, so I got to see Hughes, Coverdale and Dio all in one night. Not bad! Btw, Hughes worked the stage like a rock legend. Robert Plant has nothing on Hughes in the rock star frontman category.
Hey, today You can say, you joined a Concert of Purple, whitesnake and Rainbow! :-)
+Steve Steele " I got to see Hughes, Coverdale and Dio all in one night. Not bad!"... Not bad?! That, Sir, can easily be an understatement of the Century.
Pretty freakin' kick ass man
Yeah sorry but hughes dont compare to plant when i comes to singing or fronting,Hguhes is a legend no doubt about that,but plant is the greatest..Although hughes maybe more talented consideding he can play a groovy as fucking bass and still hit notes very high..He is an icon like Plant.
Glenn n Linda Blair? What the fuuuuu
a stand up guy admits his mistakes!! glenn is a legend. legends dont have to be perfect.
Glenn: "I will never be in another band after Black Country."
The Dead Daisies: "Challenge accepted."
BCC never died. Just hard to get the 4 together but new album June 2024!!!!
Glenn truly looks like he's been there, seen and done it all. It's amazing that he's still well and singing as good as ever. He has that "permanently stoned" thing, which is cool. But he's not slow or fucked up. A true survivor
Glenn Hughes is unbelievable, as not only a bass player singer songwriter playing with deep purple hello, but he is so intuitive and really knows how to play the instrument.
"I was overserved at the bar, if you will"
Awesome
Great interview Glenn's a legend.
I dare you to interview Ritchie Blackmore.
juan perez He really doesn't seem all that bad to talk to. I watched a documentary about him and he seemed very open and answered all the questions with only a slight amount of "douchiness" haha. I doubt we'll ever see him on here, the guy is a GOD imo.
Fucking Blackmore is to stuck up to be interviewed don't you think they have tried Juan ?
No chance! He's too busy talking to the fairies at the bottom of his garden... 😊
Christ, people really don't understand Blackmore
so true@@sergejmiladinovic1181
I love the Purple line up with him Tommy Bolin ,Coverdale , Lord , and Pace
I love that the Sabbath years were mentioned. Seventh Star was very underrated.
That album kills from start to finish.
Fused from '05 was completely overlooked.
Yep! 💯
I was at that show in Cleveland back in 86, me first Black Sabbath concert! Glenn was struggling with his voice, but it wasn't a bad show, I dug it. He and Tony should've toured Fused, that was a great album!
The Great Glen Hughes..
Maan...he's hillarious😂.god bless u sir hughes❤
I was never a fan of Glenn, but after watching this , i have been won over by his apparent honesty and talk ! i will check out more of his music. Thumbs up from me !!
Check out the album Fused by T. Iommi; it features Glenn Hughes. The song "I go insane" is a gem
I seen Glenn 50 years ago and I saw him last year. The guys heart and energy just amazes me, real entertainment. I love it!
A true legend and a gentleman.
Such a gentleman. What an amazing talent. Very gracious fellow.
He did get to sing for Heaven and Hell that one show, it was good to hear him sing those songs in good form.
It's such a shame, cause Glenn should have been on the level with Ozzy and Ronnie James, but he was always the replacement voice. He should be as important as Ia Gillan or Ozzy, the guy deserves it.
The Resonate solo album is very good.
Trapeze's Medusa album should be up there with Sabbath and Zep's '69-'70 material.
He’s not a replacement voice to any true fans of Deep Purple. Having two singers was something that definitely worked for Deep Purple.
Far superior vocalist!!! Ozzy couldn’t carry a tune to save his life. Dio was a good metal singer but all the same. Glenn can sing anything and still has it. Listen to the newest Dead Daisies album for proof. Voice of rock!!
The two vocalist thing was Ritchie's idea, and it led to a change in direction right at the time he was dealing with divorcing his second wife Barbel (Babs).
Stormbringer was David and Glenn's record.
Come Taste The Band was Tommy's album, with superb support from Ian Paice.
Glenn's such a great musician and a true gentleman. I'd be glad to see him perform with Tony Iommi again
Glenn's a fucking legend and amazing person overall. Much love and respect to him.
Hopefully, they can bring David Coverdale here too.
Legend. ''Come taste the Band'' is an amazing record!
+Francis Lefebvre ... with "Burn" my favourite recording .. and "Live in Japan"
Yep, it's pretty great.
Would have been an absolute winner
- for any other band than Deep Purple
Great singer, great bassist!
I read years ago that Paul Rodgers was approached about joining Deep Purple, but his response was that he didn't work with "temperamental guitar players" (referring to Blackmore) and that's how DP ultimately wound up with David Coverdale as a singer.
yes that's true, paul rodgers is ritchie's favorite singer.
@@umpygoodness2369 he went on to work with Page who was a drugmess since the late 70 ,s
Glen's such an amazing legend. Amazing talent and has still a very powerful dynamic voice after all these years. I also agree about Black Country Communion, they're probably my all time favorite super group and definitely a great live band. The live material available to watch is beyond impressive. The level Glenn sings at is very impressive to say the least but great music great songs great band. Its a magical chemistry of musicians and what they produced together is like if Deep Purple and Zeppelin had a baby I guess would be my personal translation of their stuff.
Really cool guy, honest, humorous, and he can still sing like a badass
OMFG I did NOT KNOW Glenn worked with KLF! OMFG One of my favorite bands of all time together with one of my favorite musicians of all time! KLF is fucking amazing, WHAT TIME IS LOVE!
“I was overserved at the bar”! Love it. Gonna buy this guy’s book.
Glenn Hughes is one of the best rock vocalists of all time!! Listen to his work with Tony Iommi on the 1996 DEP sessions, specifically the song "Time is the Healer" .
The Voice of Rock! Glenn sings with such soul!
Seventh Star by Black Sabbath is his best work with Tony Iommi
The work Hughes and Coverdale did on their first Deep Purple album 'Burn' was simply phenomenal! They brought so much to a band that at the time, was almost completely burnt out.
such a shame Gillan and Glover were out because they peaked musically on that album
This man is like a god.
one of rock's greatest voices and an amazing bass player - always a tad underrated...
I love mostly every Deep Purple lineup, but my favorite is and has always been the Mark 3 era. I love listening to both the Burn and Stormbringer albums, and all the live albums that this lineup did, especially Paris 1975 which was Ritchie Blackmore's last show with Deep Purple for almost ten years. Glenn Hughes is a phenomenal lead singer and bass guitar player and I love everything that he has done. There are some Black Sabbath fans that hate The Seventh Star album but I have always loved it and it was not suppose to be a Black Sabbath album but a Tony Iommi solo album. The record label made sure that the name Black Sabbath was on the album just to try and sell more albums because of name recognition. This was an awesome fact or fiction, and Glenn did not hold back at all.
The MKIII had so much colour to it
What a cool dude. He could play in my band anytime -- I'd even let him sing.
Dude, I like Glenn Hughes, just watching this interview, he just seems awesome to be around
The voice of rock.
His work with John norum is absolutely stellar
The more I see the man, the more I like him. He's just a few years older than myself, but still sings like a (rock)god. There are few artist that at his age release music that is still relevant like he does.
One of my favorite musicians ever. Hughes/Thrall is AMAZING!!!
He may not be cute-looking anymore, but by God, I *_LOVE_* Glenn Hughes. He is truly legendary, and it is so good to see and hear him be so lucid and clear-headed. That man, by all rights, should have been dead before turning 40, and yet here he still is at 67 (will be 68 on August 21st - yes, I just looked it up).
#1- Considering how coked-up he had been throughout the 70s and 80s, it is AMAZING how good his memory is.
#2 - "I just told them I had over-medicated myself..." - I mean, can we say BADASS!! 😜😆👍🏻
Godspeed, Glenn!! 🤘🏻🎸
I was gonna say the same, probably one of the best interviews Loudwire has done. for all the shit he's done good and bad he just lays it out. Classy dude.
But we all want these interviews to go a LOT longer cuz these cats always have ZILLIONS of killer stories!
This is one of the best Fact or Fiction I've seen...
I love that Glen is so open and giving of his life and stories
I don't know what it is but this guy is still captivating me to listen to and WATCH as well!
One of the best guests in this Fact of Fiction, nice guy, talented singer and bassist, and I am lucky to meet him few times.
Mentioning the KLF... Legend. Any fan of Glenn who hasn't seen the song he is talking about... Just check it out...Glenn actually appears in a few videos. KLF are the group who in 1992 at the Brits shot blanks at the industry crowd after performing with Extreme Noise Terror to the horror of the crowd, dumped a dead sheep at the after party and deleted their catalogue the day after. Then in 1994 the took the majority of their royalties, 1million pound and burned it. Glenn talkes very fondly about Bill and Jimmy in his book. Classy guy all the way.
Three or so questions and you get a 13min interview. Glenn's a fucking journo's dream!
Glenn Hughes is a true rock icon and deserves all the admiration. I've only seen him perform live at a "Tommy Bolin Tribute" Concert that was amazing. He also plays a mean Rickenbaker bass and for me is the best bassist/vocalist after John Wetton and Greg Lake, I'm not mentioning Chris Squire who is by far THE best bassist ever but never claimed the lead vocal title like Glenn does. the concert's highlight was "This time around" that he always has considered as his stamp song. So sad that Black Country Communion did not work out for the long run.
Really appreciate his honesty. Everyone has ups and way downs in life. Good to hear him acknowledge them all.
what a fekin legend,no ego just an awesome guy with a hell of a memory...
THIS DUDE RULES HES KEPT HIS VOICE SO HAS PAUL ROGERS.. AMAZING VOCALIST AND BASSIST AND THE VERSION OF HIGHWAY STAR
WITH VAI AND OMF JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT ALL HAD BEEN BROUGHT HE BLOWS IT OUT OF THE GALAXY..
Tremendously honest stuff from a living legend . . .
I live in Cannock, Glenn is probably our most famous export! Great video
Far better than Stan Collymore
Awesome interview! Be Blessed Glenn
On a scale of 1 to 10, this interview is 11 (Spinal Tap reference folks). GH an exemplar rock star of the wonderful old school and a tremendous musician too. The first time I heard 'Burn' I was aurally flayed alive; over 40 years later I still go into air guitar mode, but never sure which vocalist in the track I want to be - Coverdale or Hughes! Nice work Loudwire
Deep Purple Long Beach 76 is a must have CD.
Glenn Hughes has worked with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Chad Smith, John Frusicante, Dave Navarro, Jason Bonham, John Norum... Who else?
Georg Hägglund Joe Bonamassa
Georg Hägglund dave holland
Hughes Thrall dude
Doug Aldrich, George Lynch, Gary Moore
The KFL (as mentioned), Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, Joe Lynn Turner amongst many more.
Glenn: great singer bassist and artist and long term sober is enough for me
More like let's listen to the amazing stories of a Legend :) This guy needs at least 3 hours on his own, just to give us a glimpse of what he went through...
Fantastic guy... ♡
Met Glenn and Dave Holland way back about 73 at the bar in the Lafayette in Wolverhampton.After seeing them hours before Live at Walsall Town with Trapeze .Really nice guys and only to happy to chat back then.
Love Burn album as a kid and saw the California Jam on ABC one Saturday and became a big Hughes fan. All his DP solo BCC music. He's such a talented manthat not even 1% of those in music could touch him. He should've been bigger in US.
Cali Jam Mistreated is a soulful gem.
Trapeze's Medusa deserved to be up there with Sabbath and Zep early 70 records.
Still hearing that Cannock accent buried in there somewhere.
Me 2
Very much so.
One of my favourite musicians now. Lived in the edge and watched a few go straight over. Met a lot of the greats. Cool guy!
Legend the best singer in Rock
Without sarcasm: a scholar and a gentleman!
Im not sure if he knows the format! he's just candid about everything. Lovely man. In fact awesome man.
Glenn Hughes it is a crime the California breed is no longer together. You want your superb and you got it man get these guys back together you rock so hard I have not stop listening to all fall down for the last 72 hours it is the sweetest popsugar I've ever heard in my life it feeds my soul your voice is like honey so good man I love what you're doing bring back the blues Glenn Hughes
"I'm not joining another band after Black Country Communion!"
He says, and then promptly proceeded to join the band, "The Dead Daisies" while waited for the members of BCC to get their schedules straight so that they were all free to record together!
Still, got to Love em ay, they are my 2nd favourite band and i got to see them Live twice.
(New album due this year and we have had 2 tracks drop so far!)
🤘🏻
Talk with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler or Ozzy. You can't leave out the Godfathers of Metal!
+TimTamTheTurtleMan Ozzy have a trouble to express himself lately.
Thankyou. Respect
Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction, Tony Iommi. Lot's to say even though he's been vocally active about Sabbath but not enough from his Solo stuff and the album he shelved and released years later.
Legendary interview. Love Deep Purple! Keep it going Loudwire
Awesome! His voice is so damn good! What a total rock God!
extremely honest interview...... Very good.
I got a lot of time for Glenn! As he certainly has been through a hell of a lot, particularly when addiction is involved, and his honesty is very admirable indeed. He is an inspiration, one hell of a singer...and an unsung bass player as when combined, singing and playing bass...he is UNBELIEVABLE!
Thanks for speaking with Glenn and his honesty. By the way, I was really excited to see the Seventh Star tour after the great album, and I saw that unfortunate gig at Meadowlands in NJ. We were all hoping that Glenn would stop to sing cause he was struggling terribly. Many thanks to Glenn for clearing up the story behind this.
There was also a Glenn Hughes in Village People, he died some years ago
I there is one in about every band
