Yes, he said: “he is a genius or a mad. He is a genius”. A man capable to transform the “falsetto”, a dull, “white” sound without any “appoggio” or body resonance, known from ever as “The voice’s plague” in a truly full modulating voice...
Deep Purple are one of those rare bands where every member is "one of the greatest of all-time" at their respective instrument. Sick band just freakin' amazing.
She is the real deal because she realized that Ian Gillan used his voices as percussions and he had an amazing sense of rhythm! This is why Ian is outstanding among ‘hard rock’ singers!!
Deep Purple is one of those bands that come from a time period where every band member had to be talented. They didn't rely on the technology that is used to today to help other musicians sound better. Much respect to them.
To this day i have no idea where he get the idea to sing it like that, its so original, so imposible, so unpredictable... Its mesmerizing experience. What a singing prodigy. The band is also insane.
The great Ian Gillan singing one of the best songs of all-time. This song gave me goose bumps when I was a teenager back in the 70's .....and still does today.
This song is turning 50 this year, and still has me in tears. Any politician considering sending our fine, young men off to wars in foreign lands should listen to this first. If they understand it, they will change their minds.
Ian Gillan says in his book, that, this song was Deep Purple’s response to USA and Russia threatening to use nuclear bombs against each other, which was at the time absolutely terrifying to the British people, because the papers were saying we could be wiped out by a war between these huge countries. The blind man were the government’s of these two countries.
Makes sense I knew him and John, and they both confirmed that. I grew up in those days. It wasn't just the UK. It was all of Europe and the rest of the world!!
The way Ian Gillan was able to sing right through his lower register into his falsetto without encountering any yodel-points. Just amazing. Lots of terrific singers can't do that.
@@CB-xr1eg they didn't, but that doesn't make them less great. Rod Stewart doesn't have a wide range at all but he is one of the greatest white blues vocalists out there.
@@ДмитрийЗайденберг That's true, I agree they were both great, Paul Rodgers still has a very good voice. Im just saying that back then Ian Gillan had a better vocal range than either of them.
I WISH more people would vote for that track, and version. Beth would love it, really shows the emotion that Ronnie James Dio puts into it, and the great musicianship of all involved :).
This is one of the greatest songs ever written , played by one of the greatest bands ever ! Glad you really appreciated it bravo. As good as it gets and LIVE .Iconic
Dreamer Deceiver from Sad Wings shows Halfords full 5 octave range. Edit: When I explored this channel I found Beth has already done it. So, hey-ho.....!
1. It's "Jon" from "Jonathan". 2. To me he is one of the best guitar players, playing the strangest guitar ever. That's why he fits together with Richie so well.
No wait, Wizard is easy listening, I meant Gypsy and Easy Livin'. Besides, Easy Livin' sounds remarkably like most songs of Birthcontrol, I think they got inspired by Uriah Heep.
Uriah Heep would be a close analog to Deep Purple, and their “July Morning” was their answer to “Child in Time”. Singer David Byron had a tragic life arc, but he was a superb vocalist.
Another great early days metal band is Rainbow. With Dio on vocals and Blackmore on guitar. Also, the song is an anti war song, some people say it was written as a protest to the war in Vietnam, but I don't remember any of the members confirming that.
@@yeaimapirate Well, I mean the horror of it and the side effects are the reasons for the anti-war sentiment. It pretty much goes without saying I think.
I saw DP live at least six times in the '70s and Ian never failed to hit these notes, even at the end of a long tour. None of the other great singers of the time had that kind of stamina.
He’s not my favorite live singer and definitely not my favorite singer but you’re right, he always hit the notes the man was fucking crazy. He gave his all, I kinda wish he saved it so we could’ve had him in his prime longer but the man is great.
In an interview Gillan has said that DP were primarily an instrumental band and his vocals were the 5th instrument. Each member contributed some exclusive trademark to each song. That's why he and others were at the same level of perfection and performance. The most difficult part though, must have been Paice's to abruptly stop after each adrenaline pumping crescendo and pickup again on a slower tempo. That's his greatness.
This song is still sending shivers up my spine since the 70's...Saw DP do it live in the 80's and it was literally like having an out of body experience!
They were stupendously good at that time. Richie was the most exciting guitar player I've ever heard. Beth, I could watch/listen to you all day. Keep up the good work.
Deep Purple, one of my all-time favourites. Ian Gillan's voice in this song is incredible. I love your comments, you're so interesting. Thanks for sharing. 🔥👏👏👏
my generation, my music, our parents thought we were crazy and screamed when we played these songs, our music was exceptional and these bands not only had messages to convey but their music and the musicians were at a level of perfection that few bands after them have matched, an era blessed by the gods, we are pleased that your generation appreciates our musical era 60s/70s, an italo-french fan
FINALLY!! Mr. Ian Gillan and the mighty Deep Purple!! My oldest child is named Ian (after both singer Gillan and drummer Paice). They are by far my favorite band and Gillan is one of the greatest rock singers of all-time. Us (older/aged) viewers appreciate going back to the roots and hearing how the masters did it.

So a long story short, I met Ian in the 90's when he came to one of my gigs. we hit it off like a house on fire and he told me he never uses monitors EVER. he just relies on instinct. A true pioneer and a great guy.
I kind of like the whole DIO Holy Diver Live show on DVD, it's tuned down a step but the performances are hot. Gates of Babylon, Man on the Silver Mountain, Sign of the Southern Cross, Caught in the Middle are alone worth the price of admission.

King Crimson mostly for "21st century schizoid man." The rest wasn't very heavy at all but they were maybe the first band to put progressive rock on the map. Some of their albums from a little later on especially "larks tongues in aspic" and "red" were very heavy and sort of proto progressive metal(as were Uriah Heep and even Rush).

Thank you for this! Was hopping you would get to this masterpiece, eventually. It's always a joy to see new people discover Purple. The song is a Vietnam anti-war song. For me, it's Purple's best song, and it's the best song ever written. And Ian Gillan is the best hard-rock singer ever.
Been searching down the comment section for someone who's explained the song's about the Vietnam war. Sweet child in time you'll see the line drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man, shooting at the world bullets flying, taking toll. You better close your eyes, bow your head, wait for the ricochet.
He does the Jesus parts in the original release of Jesus Christ Superstar...One of the greatest prog albums ever...He set the bar for those to come...It was never raised.
Looking through a box in the basement last weekend and found my vinyl copy of that album which I have not seen for about 30 years. Going to listen to it shortly.
I am always left speechless when it comes to describe my hero, Ritchie Blackmore... he's just from another dimension, he invented the "hard rock" sound all by himself, there will never be another one like him...
I am very thankful for your explanations. "Child in time" is a favourite of mine since the mid-70s and it will always be. Your close listening to it is a wonderful experience for me. Thank you so much!
I got nailed twice here. First I had never heard the song Child in Time. Even though I am a Purple fan, go figure. Second I got slapped upside the head by a exquisitely beautiful woman doing the reaction of Ian Gillan! My god the accent!
I often have musical dreams, and I've dreamt this song all the way through while it tears me up emotionally, just as it does in real life. It's tragically timeless because it fits every war, every terrorist attack, every crazed shooting ever. The screams are so intense and the occasionally rough sound so fitting that even though it makes me cry, it's still a masterpiece that I can't help but listen to all the way through once it starts. Thanks for the excellent review!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I've been listening to this song for forty years and it still gives me chills the way it did when I first heard it. Thanks. I love Deep Purple. Great stuff. Maybe you'd want to try Burn live at California Jam. Burn was a lineup change and two vocalists came in after Ian left...David Coverdale and the bassist Glenn Heughs...their contrasting vocals are great and great live footage as well. Thanks.

Child in time is a song about the cold war. Not a protest song about the Vietnam war many thinks. Deep Purple has done another songs called Fools that is a protest song specificcaly againts the Vietnam war.
War Pigs isn't specifically Anti-Vietnam-war either. It's an anti war song. And that's only the last spin they gave it, it started out as "Walpurgis" and was about actual witches and black masses. On some live shows you sometimes could hear Ozzy sing parts of the original lyrics, or something he made up on the spot and was more fitting to the original lyrics, like "to black masses people go".
@@666MIHI Yeah, but it's still about the Vietnam war and its horrors. The vocalist's father served in Vietnam and Jerry Cantrell wrote it about his father and the damage fighting in Vietnam has caused in him, the psychological scars. "The Rooster" is Jerry Cantrell Sr.'s nickname
The audiences back then had open minds and didn't only appreciate what the suits told them to, hence the explosion of creativity and progress we experienced.
I wish I could hear this for the first time again and melt like you did here! Gillan was the best vocalist of the 70’s hands down. Try Gethsemane off of JCS for another heart wrenching ordeal.
Ian Gillan is using his voice as a percussive instrument also. Holy fookin. It took multiple decades for somebody to point out to me why he is the GOAT. You just made an old geezer incredibly happy.
Deep Purple were British. The Vietnam war was far more important in USA than Britain. Ian Gillan has said this was about the Cold War between USA and Russia. At th3 time this song was written these countries were threatening to use nuclear bombs and it was terrifying in Britain as the papers were saying Russia would hit USA allies Britain as this was easier than reaching USA. The blind man 2as the governments of USA and Russia.
Do yourselves a fovour and look up Ian Gillan Royal Albert Hall. Just about the purest singing I have heard. Notice Ian keeps looking down as he started writing the lyrics the night before the performance and only finished them during the taxi ride to the concert. Amazing talent!
@@pawevearnomah Your response made me have to find some of his music and see what I thought, nice voice but I will respectfully disagree. Personally I feel that Camilo's voice is too pure, I prefer a voice with some edge to it. Just my opinion.
when she says early she means early 1970s when hard rock and heavy metal was invented especially by bands like deep purple and black sabbath..I don’t think so much zeppelin because they were based in a lot of folk along with hard rock. But Led Zeppelin certainly were early pioneers.
You also gotta appreciate how Ian is a master of improvisation, like many of his bandmates. Each little performance is different (which is something Luciano Pavarotti of all people made sure to talk about) and then you have these moments like that "three times I tried to be with you" bit at the end which was entirely ad-libbed in the spot- it's not in the studio cut and it's got different words in every live version of this song. It just adds flare to the music and makes each performance unique.
My three favourite heavy rock singers are Ian Gillan, Paul Rodgers and Rob Halford. I don't need to explain it but this song is amongst the reasons that Mr Gillan is at Number 1 for me.
Jon Lord. Absolute legend with his cut-down Hammond P3 organ. Classically trained. RIP. Ritchie Blackmore on lead, another legend. Same for Ian Paice’s drumming. Roger Glover quietly achieving on bass. Ian Gillan’s vocals? What more can one say!
Pavarotti once described Ian Gillan’s voice as a “force of nature”.
Yes, he said: “he is a genius or a mad. He is a genius”. A man capable to transform the “falsetto”, a dull, “white” sound without any “appoggio” or body resonance, known from ever as “The voice’s plague” in a truly full modulating voice...
Love his voice ❤
makes sense. When those high ''aaAAAAAAA'' come they blast you like a hurricane, a wooow hurricane
He was not wrong, though.
Gillan embarrassed himself by dueting with Pavarotti on Nessun Dorma. It was cringey. It's on RUclips.
He should stick with rock.
Deep Purple are one of those rare bands where every member is "one of the greatest of all-time" at their respective instrument. Sick band just freakin' amazing.
A Team of Champions in a Champion Team.
I feel the same way, they are criminally underrated in my opinion.
Alex Ojeda Jon lord revolutionised keyboards
@@kevinknight4782 Agreed..
toastedbagels Deep Purple underrated? Is only considered one of the best band of all time! What else?
The fact he can do that, and sound just like the studio version, makes him better than 99.9% of other singers. Incredible.
I always compared him to Robert Plant
@@M97-u8t Plant was shit
@@M97-u8t Robert Plant wasn't even in the same class as Ian Gillan. The only other vocalist that came close to Gillan in my opinion was Rob Halford.
@@bandsbikesandboozereviews Ronnie James Dio?
@@captfredricks9650 Dio, although being a great singer just didn't have the range of Gillan or Halford
She is the real deal because she realized that Ian Gillan used his voices as percussions and he had an amazing sense of rhythm!
This is why Ian is outstanding among ‘hard rock’ singers!!
Also, Ian used to be a drummer
Two percussionists named Ian. The other Ian Paice. Too perfect.
he's hitting ridiculously high pitches
corrupt soul he gets even higher in the made in Japan version.
Deep Purple were the original supergroup. Every artist was at the top of their game.
cream beat them to it
i disagree, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker. a little group called CREAM!!!
Cream was the original supergroup
In fact, Led Zeppelin were, since MK I (1968) isnt so great than MK II (1969).
This is not the definition of supergroup.
Deep Purple is one of those bands that come from a time period where every band member had to be talented. They didn't rely on the technology that is used to today to help other musicians sound better. Much respect to them.
To this day i have no idea where he get the idea to sing it like that, its so original, so imposible, so unpredictable... Its mesmerizing experience. What a singing prodigy. The band is also insane.
The high pitch stuff reminds me of what traditional native American drummer/singers do
The great Ian Gillan singing one of the best songs of all-time.
This song gave me goose bumps when I was a teenager back in the 70's .....and still does today.
He's one of the best rock singers of all time!
This song is turning 50 this year, and still has me in tears. Any politician considering sending our fine, young men off to wars in foreign lands should listen to this first. If they understand it, they will change their minds.
You are so right, Henrik. Unfortunately, our politicians do not value human life...
Amen henrik
They won't. Ever. 💔
El lloraba por los vietnamitas. No por los soldados.
no they wouldn't

The blind man were the government’s of these two countries.
This song stopped Nuclear war!

Wasn't this song about Vietnam war
The way Ian Gillan was able to sing right through his lower register into his falsetto without encountering any yodel-points. Just amazing. Lots of terrific singers can't do that.
Ian Gillan was unbeatable back in the 70s

Don't get me wrong, Gillan is world level but he isn't the only one
Erm Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriot etc.
@@xIBEASTYFUNK Erm, I don't think either Rodgers or Marriott had the vocal range that Ian Gillan had back then. In fact I know they didn't.

I WISH more people would vote for that track, and version. Beth would love it, really shows the emotion that Ronnie James Dio puts into it, and the great musicianship of all involved :).
Absolutely
Absolutely a masterpiece (vocally and musically).... "Catch the Rainbow" live in Munich is exceptional, so is "Mistreated"
great song, great performance indeed.
Ian Gilligan was best black sabbath singer and best screamer thrashed has 3 of the best ones ever born again is a hidden gem
I swear to Lemmy this song has got to be one of the best ones out there in all aspects. I get chills down my spine listening to it.
You should have a listen to the live version of this from "Concerto For Group And Orchestra" in 1969. Absolutely INSANE!
Ritchie Blackmore made it look effortless on the guitar. He still does in Blackmore’s Night.
He now looks like he wants to go finish it as fast as possible so he can drink more beer. But still he has the touch
Is that a young Ian on the drums?..... looks like him
This is one of the greatest songs ever written , played by one of the greatest bands ever ! Glad you really appreciated it bravo. As good as it gets and LIVE .Iconic

Another great early days metal band is Rainbow. With Dio on vocals and Blackmore on guitar.
Also, the song is an anti war song, some people say it was written as a protest to the war in Vietnam, but I don't remember any of the members confirming that.
along with anti war isnt it suppose to be about the horror of it or side effects.
@@yeaimapirate Well, I mean the horror of it and the side effects are the reasons for the anti-war sentiment. It pretty much goes without saying I think.
@@yeaimapirate Yeah, I always assumed the line "See the blind man, still shooting at the world" refers to a wounded, PTSD-ridden veteran.
Dio was in Rainbow before he joined Sabbath. Blackmore started the band after leaving Deep Purple.
Still rainbow was after purple sabbath and zeppelin
I love watching young people get off on what we lived on! This was all new back then which makes the level of musicianship even more stunning.

Ah, yes, the great Gillan in his prime! Wailing away as only he could and killing it with soul for days. Those high notes still have immense impact.
When this was recorded, anything 80's was still a decade away.
I saw DP live at least six times in the '70s and Ian never failed to hit these notes, even at the end of a long tour. None of the other great singers of the time had that kind of stamina.

Ian Gillan gave rise to the HEAVY METAL melodic vocal style. Without him and Dio there would be no Bruce Dickinson, Tobias Sammet, André matos, etc.
King Crimson's album In the Court of the Crimson King was also very important for metal as well as progressive rock

The song is a Vietnam anti-war song.
For me, it's Purple's best song, and it's the best song ever written. And Ian Gillan is the best hard-rock singer ever.
Gillan said it was against the mutual destruction syndrome of the cold war !!
Been searching down the comment section for someone who's explained the song's about the Vietnam war.
Sweet child in time
you'll see the line
drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man, shooting at the world
bullets flying, taking toll.
You better close your eyes, bow your head, wait for the ricochet.
@@joelp4 obviously the "ricochet" is the tit for tat cold war mutual self assured destruction syndrome !!
He does the Jesus parts in the original release of Jesus Christ Superstar...One of the greatest prog albums ever...He set the bar for those to come...It was never raised.
Agreed. The others were good but never came close.
Yes, with Murray Head as Judas.
Looking through a box in the basement last weekend and found my vinyl copy of that album which I have not seen for about 30 years. Going to listen to it shortly.
@@Zoetropeification How'd you like it?
I am always left speechless when it comes to describe my hero, Ritchie Blackmore... he's just from another dimension, he invented the "hard rock" sound all by himself, there will never be another one like him...
Ian Gillan "I only want to say" from Jesus Christ Superstar.... amazing!
He and Murray Head were the first recorded voices I remember ever hearing as a child. Mom had the JCS soundtrack!
I am very thankful for your explanations. "Child in time" is a favourite of mine since the mid-70s and it will always be. Your close listening to it is a wonderful experience for me. Thank you so much!
I LOVE your reactions, because you have actual knowledge about the band and about the artists, it's amazing!
Beth: First rule when listening to Deep Purple: Never interrupt Ian Gillan or Ritchie Blackmore.
...or Jon Lord.
Ian Richie Lord are the most important voices here, indeed :)
dude she's a VOCAL coach...
Beth can interrupt anyone...
@@nocarbonfootprint9120 I think you are right...I mean...just look at her...
Two reasons I'm here: 1) Child in Time 2) Beth being a Stunner!! Peace!
Those are the only two reasons I'm here Matthew LOL she is a stunner and this is a great song
I got nailed twice here. First I had never heard the song Child in Time. Even though I am a Purple fan, go figure. Second I got slapped upside the head by a exquisitely beautiful woman doing the reaction of Ian Gillan! My god the accent!
I often have musical dreams, and I've dreamt this song all the way through while it tears me up emotionally, just as it does in real life. It's tragically timeless because it fits every war, every terrorist attack, every crazed shooting ever. The screams are so intense and the occasionally rough sound so fitting that even though it makes me cry, it's still a masterpiece that I can't help but listen to all the way through once it starts. Thanks for the excellent review!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I've been listening to this song for forty years and it still gives me chills the way it did when I first heard it. Thanks.
I love Deep Purple. Great stuff.
Maybe you'd want to try Burn live at California Jam. Burn was a lineup change and two vocalists came in after Ian left...David Coverdale and the bassist Glenn Heughs...their contrasting vocals are great and great live footage as well. Thanks.
This channel was such a great little find. I don't know why I love it so much.

Hi Beth! Greetings from Bolivia! Can you react to David Byron from Uriah Heep, please?
Beth, you should Cuervo out this version of this song ruclips.net/video/j_00GpiTrPM/видео.html
This was 1970. Why do refer to 80s metal?
Child in time is a song about the cold war. Not a protest song about the Vietnam war many thinks. Deep Purple has done another songs called Fools that is a protest song specificcaly againts the Vietnam war.
Uriah Heep where early as well.
+1 for Uriah Heep!
July Morning would be a good choice for a Uriah Heep song.
was about type that as well
Oh, yes. Like others, was about to say that David Byron was so underrated. Bird of Prey has a good scream on it, too.
@Goosecore Was just going to write that +1 (and would recommend also JOhn Lawton era...)
The greatest vocalist I have seen live (4 times, 3 bands), easily, and the best bit? He loves being onstage and has fun!
Remember this was 50 years ago!!
You just reminded me of how old I am.
@@GeeCeeWU Me too. But music was all artist back then, hardly any machine. The real music.
@@brianwinter4019 We were lucky to have been born when we were and luckier to be young during that period.
50 years ago... first time I heard Child in Time and snatched my first kiss.
Yep! I was just 16! I still have all their albums!!!!!!!!!!1
The sound live is mind blowing ! So clean.
One of the Iconic ANTI VIETNAM Songs ever written besides THE DOORS : THE END,BLACK SABBATH : WAR PIGS and ALICE IN CHAINS : THE ROOSTER.....
Those songs aren't "anti Vietnam" they're *anti-war*
Alice in chains would be too late to do anti vietnam war song
Not that Vietnam should be celebrated. Its a 3rd world commie shit hole.
War Pigs isn't specifically Anti-Vietnam-war either. It's an anti war song. And that's only the last spin they gave it, it started out as "Walpurgis" and was about actual witches and black masses. On some live shows you sometimes could hear Ozzy sing parts of the original lyrics, or something he made up on the spot and was more fitting to the original lyrics, like "to black masses people go".
@@666MIHI Yeah, but it's still about the Vietnam war and its horrors. The vocalist's father served in Vietnam and Jerry Cantrell wrote it about his father and the damage fighting in Vietnam has caused in him, the psychological scars. "The Rooster" is Jerry Cantrell Sr.'s nickname
I watch this weekly, I just love Beth’s comments and reactions. One of the best songs. Ever.
That audience would be great for the cast of “The Walking Dead”
The audiences back then had open minds and didn't only appreciate what the suits told them to, hence the explosion of creativity and progress we experienced.
@@derekbiggerstaff that particular performance was pretty lame though
They were told to be quiet during the songs by the studio director.
@@qiqatxu Not as lame as you dip shit, where's your version?
😂😂😂
I wish I could hear this for the first time again and melt like you did here! Gillan was the best vocalist of the 70’s hands down. Try Gethsemane off of JCS for another heart wrenching ordeal.
Ian Gillan is using his voice as a percussive instrument also. Holy fookin. It took multiple decades for somebody to point out to me why he is the GOAT. You just made an old geezer incredibly happy.
Best anti-Vietnam song ever, Gillan had such amazing range back in the day
Nothing to do with Vietnam. Ian said it's a song about a loser.
@@swinetrek do you think they won the Vietnam war?
@@Brynwyn123 They're British though
War Pigs
Deep Purple were British. The Vietnam war was far more important in USA than Britain. Ian Gillan has said this was about the Cold War between USA and Russia. At th3 time this song was written these countries were threatening to use nuclear bombs and it was terrifying in Britain as the papers were saying Russia would hit USA allies Britain as this was easier than reaching USA. The blind man 2as the governments of USA and Russia.
Do yourselves a fovour and look up Ian Gillan Royal Albert Hall. Just about the purest singing I have heard. Notice Ian keeps looking down as he started writing the lyrics the night before the performance and only finished them during the taxi ride to the concert. Amazing talent!
sounds like highway star, from what I have heard it was written in 15 minutes on the tour bus between shows.
In the end, I got goosepumps. Ending of this song is so dramatic. What a live performance!
UFO.. One of the most under-rated hard Rock bands. Try "Doctor Doctor," or "Love to Love".
I agree. 🔥
Saw UFO a few years ago and to this day Phil Moog sounds amazing.
Rock Bottom
UFO BABY!!
@@ctrlaltdel877 Forget a few years ago. I saw them this year and Phil Mogg is still superb!
Deep Purple in the legend !!! 👏🙌 not playback here just pure talent !
This is the best reaction video for vocals I've ever seen, and it couldn't happen with a better song!
best song in the deep purple catalogue with incredible singing by gillian.
The best ever singing performance in rock history ...period
this is deep purple. love the reaction
The original release of "Jesus Christ, Superstar" featured Ian as Jesus. What a voice.
110% agree no other version got near.
Love Ted but Ian is amazing in Gethsemane.
I still have the that record !!!
The spanish version is better, Camilo Sesto owns the part of Jesus like no other.
@@pawevearnomah Your response made me have to find some of his music and see what I thought, nice voice but I will respectfully disagree. Personally I feel that Camilo's voice is too pure, I prefer a voice with some edge to it. Just my opinion.
You cut off Jon Lord's organ intro. He's turning in his grave...
At least she kept Ritchie's solo.
@@Tunkkis At least at least at least.
NO! No forgiveness!
@@SpaceCattttt You are right, this is unforgivable! Now, where did I put my lynching rope?
@@Tunkkis Bring the tar and the feathers as well.
Gillan sings "Oh, Lord..." and camera shows Lord`s hands.
This song made me think of all the people ever in a war, actually in the midst. The agony, pain and despair in his wails and screams takes me there.
Rainbow - Stargazer. Probably one of my all time favorites.
Other great early metal bands are Judas Priest, Budgie, Uriah Jeep and EARLY THROUGH MID 70's Scorpions.
Don't forget early Accept. They were among the fathers of heavy metal but are forgotten mostly as such
and of course, Black Sabbath
@@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek sure, but Beth mentioned them...
when she says early she means early 1970s when hard rock and heavy metal was invented especially by bands like deep purple and black sabbath..I don’t think so much zeppelin because they were based in a lot of folk along with hard rock. But Led Zeppelin certainly were early pioneers.
@@saschaschneider6355 Accept should be as revered as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden IMO. Great band!
You also gotta appreciate how Ian is a master of improvisation, like many of his bandmates. Each little performance is different (which is something Luciano Pavarotti of all people made sure to talk about) and then you have these moments like that "three times I tried to be with you" bit at the end which was entirely ad-libbed in the spot- it's not in the studio cut and it's got different words in every live version of this song. It just adds flare to the music and makes each performance unique.
Yes in the made in Japan version he talks about one guys whose 4 foot something and another guy who’s 9 foot something.
David Byron from Uriah Heep, please! Most underrated band from that era.
Totally agree
I came to say exactly that. Thank you, kind stranger
David was criminally underrated.....
Imo, the most talented rock band in history
Deep Purple is beyond epic...Beth Roars is the BEST👏👏👏
Watching Ritchie Blackmore play guitar is probably the most satisfying thing on earth
Finally. Been waiting for about 4 months for this
It's about the sweet child in time: The sooul that travels in space and time through dimentions.
Love the way you react to this amazing song! Your expressions were cute too. Rock on!! 🤘
THIS is a Real singer... all the rest Go Home, sit and learn
I just seen DP live a couple weeks ago up here in Detroit and Ian Gilllan still sounded great. One of the greatest all time bands in rock history.
@@terrymtbnurse4760 thumbs extra up
My three favourite heavy rock singers are Ian Gillan, Paul Rodgers and Rob Halford. I don't need to explain it but this song is amongst the reasons that Mr Gillan is at Number 1 for me.
Uriah Heep, songs like Sunrise and Easy Livin'.
July Morning. Check out Sina’s cover.
Stealin' has always been one of my favourites, but pretty much any of David Byron's vocals
100% Uriah Heep
@@dylanlee1001
easy livin' live 1973: ruclips.net/video/BEEI-UaoETc/видео.html
but are they really hard rock ?
Ian Gillan is one of my main inspirations for vocals. The godfather of metal vocals.
He's still got it today.
Jon Lord. Absolute legend with his cut-down Hammond P3 organ. Classically trained. RIP. Ritchie Blackmore on lead, another legend. Same for Ian Paice’s drumming. Roger Glover quietly achieving on bass. Ian Gillan’s vocals? What more can one say!
