@Chuttanooga So can this ol' boomer and lifelong Purple fan. Imho Ian is a great story teller and like all great storytellers it doesn't matter what they say, it'll always be fascinating and interesting. Purple 🟣 Mania Forever ☮️❤️🎸
I never seen Ian Gillan shining during an interview like this. Worth every second of it. He found his peace in his heart. Respect Mr. Gillan…Absolute Respect! 🤘😎🤘
I absolutely agree. I am a Purple fan since the 70s but this is the most profound interview I have seen up to now. Honest, straight and with a very deep emotion. I think we looked into his soul more than ever before.
He's been there done it numerous times and has the tee shirts. He has burnt the candles at four ends and I believe, survived drink,drugs countless 'After eight mints' but is still rocking and my hero. 😎☯️🌱
I wish this interview was five times as long. Perhaps the best Ian Gillan interview I've ever heard. He was so engaged, so eager to be responding to such thoughtful questions. I've never heard him speak quite like this, ever.
@@leonedethebes That's your opinion but we Ian and Purple fans always love it when we can hear something new. I saw them live in 2022 with Simon and they were fantastic and I'm looking forward seeing them again in Oktober. Sour Blackmore is past history long time ago. If the gentlemen from Purple still love singing ,performing ,making records we must enjoy it too and thank them .
@@kennethmoh9042 Absolutely! Of course Blackmore is a fantastic guitar player but he has such a bad character that it was very difficult to work with him. Of course I too love Mark 2 records the most but I' m very glad that the others choose to go further with a more lovely man Steve who also is a very good ,more melodic guitar player. I saw Simon live in 2022 and he plays the way Blackmore did. I'm looking forward hearing him live in Oktober when he'll play the songs of the new record with his own punch.
What an amazing time musically that was. It moulded me for life. In fact the 70s were the best for me. Never to be repeated. Today's music isn't music anymore, just a noise. Thank God for the old rockers still going. I remeber going to bed with a small transistor in my ear and waking up to a flat battery!!
I still love to listen to the original ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ soundtrack. I got it for Christmas in 8th grade, 1971. As we know, Ian has a wonderful voice.
I like this man and his voice already for 50+ years... it's like family without him ever knowing me (granted, I wish that would go for more of my family, but well...)... what a guy, what a gift. Thank you Ian.
Thank you! Ian Gillan's Gethsemane Song (I only want to say) saved me at the age of 14 (1976). A year before we saw in school a few filmrolls showing the opening of the Concentration Camps in Auschwitz, Dachau etc. I was broken, enabled to se colours for weeks but also saved by my teenage clique. But than this song, and a play, Jesus Crist Superstar, initiated by the pastor in the shards quarter get me up again. Ian Gillan, I never raise you to the stool, therefor the medicine works. Again with a thundering silent gratitude, thank you, with much Love, Martin Vienna Austria
Ian is one of the reason I became a rock singer in 83 my band opened for Sabbath with Gillan on vocals I tried to get to speak with him but he spoke to the girl I was with instead
Good for you Mr Gillan. I've been listening to Deep Purple since I was a teenager in the 1970s. You're always been my #1 band and I'm thrilled to see the new direction. Very happy for you all.
Ian always has something interesting to say. No matter where, no matter when. He will come up with something worth listening to. Excellent wordsmith in songwriting and daily life. See you in November guys.
What an amazing man, a true gent, Ian Gillan is the voice of Deep Purple, he always has and always will be ,Ian is very intellectual ,interesting and extremely professional ... my absolute hero of 5 decades 💜
Ian Gillan is still a beast of a singer!! So glad to see you all are still rocking as hard and as beautifully as ever. It goes without saying that I, like millions of others, continue to be enriched, inspired, and delighted by the great music you've created over the years. Endless gratitude! Peace, health, and happiness to you!
The first impression is how good Ian Gillan looked. A couple of years ago he looked so thin and frail. Nice to see him like this. ❤ Second, that was just about the best interview I’ve seen with him ever. Good questions and thoughtful replys. 🙏🏼
Now this was extremely interesting for me, so many things I didn’t know, especially the story with Luciano Pavarotti. Deep Purple is still a great band and the new album with the new guitarist is probably one of their best. They still catch you and hold you in a positive sense!
I've read his autobiography, written at a different stage of life. The Ian Gillan in this interview is remarkably at peace, mature, and full of spirit. Thank you for this interview!
Totally legend..! Not only as one of the best voices ever, but as a very gifted personality, absorbing and reflecting the history. Great storyteller as well.
Isn’t it incredible, Deep Purple are underrated .. but only in their home country. It’s changing, the last album got 10/10 reviews and was album of the week on the BBC. Just 56 years U.K.! 😀
How beautifully spoken Ian! Absolutely chilled to the max plus no ego! I doubt you realise your impact you have had continuously and still do! Wonderful interview DP force to be reckoned with without a doubt ! Thank you Ian 💜🙏💜
Legend Man 🦾 Mr. Universe 😇 Thank You for the music & all the great performances… The Purple train still moving into the future 💜 My first concert with You was with Your great band Gillan on the Double Trouble Tour When you visited my hometown…. Then My first DP concert with on the Perfect Strangers tour so many concerts later we still here…. Best Regards From Norway 🇳🇴
Great interview! I think the interviewer must have been in the same mood. This is an insight in the history of rock music. Jon Lord, Tony Iommi, Rick Wakeman, Brian May… Listening to them, telling about their life, it‘s fine food for my heart
Good interview. I got to say though, I've been a Purple fan since the mid seventy's and I've even had the great thrill to meet most of them several time's. I've always loved their concerts. I tried but I can't get behind the new album. It just does not grab me the way they always did. I don't know why.
I had the chance to be backstage with Ian, Roger and Steve in a hotel for one hour after a concert in Luxembourg 1999, and asked the stupidest question "do you come often to Luxembourg ?" and I forgot to tell Steve that "sometimes I feel like screaming" was medicine for me. But the experience that Ian, Roger and Steve where so human and authentic like there music was the crowning glory of honesty
"I'm bathed in the sunshine of deep purple" What a way to express my feelings for my favorite rock band Thank you for posting this wonderful interview. Looking forward to getting the new record =1.
incredible interview!...Ian Gillan truly a simple man and a living legend enclosed in the same body!....every young musician or music critic should see this interview to understand what it means to be a musician and have made the history of rock !
I can listen to Ian Gillan for hours even he isn't singing one little note.
@Chuttanooga So can this ol' boomer and lifelong Purple fan. Imho Ian is a great story teller and like all great storytellers it doesn't matter what they say, it'll always be fascinating and interesting.
Purple 🟣 Mania Forever ☮️❤️🎸
Indeed he is phenomenal 💜
Of course dude grateful,🌹
Talk about out of control Hero Worship' ...I mean come on man.
I never seen Ian Gillan shining during an interview like this. Worth every second of it. He found his peace in his heart. Respect Mr. Gillan…Absolute Respect! 🤘😎🤘
Очень жаль,что я учила в школе фр-й яз!
@@lisalisovna2424 It’s never too late to change 😉
Ian Gillan would be singing on a cruise ship with Episode Six without Ritchie.
I absolutely agree. I am a Purple fan since the 70s but this is the most profound interview I have seen up to now. Honest, straight and with a very deep emotion. I think we looked into his soul more than ever before.
Ian Gillan is such an articulate and well-spoken guy. Also, I'm absolutely in love with the new album!
DEEP PURPLE always gives me the motivation to go on in my life
Me too👍🎸🎶
Ditto here! ❤🤘🎸
Well said, agree!
Me too ❤❤❤
!I'm bathed in the sunshine of Deep Purple!❤🤎
Yeah, thats lovely wording.
Isso foi lindo.
He definitely liked Disraeli Gears, it seems.
Me too🌞🌞💜💜
@@oupahens9219 what?
What an excellent, & quite beautiful interview. Ian is certainly a very genuine, humble & extremely talented man.
He's been there done it numerous times and has the tee shirts. He has burnt the candles at four ends and I believe, survived drink,drugs countless 'After eight mints' but is still rocking and my hero. 😎☯️🌱
Ian can look back at his musical life and be proud! They all can!
Ian is amazing he did a lot of great music ❤️❤️♥️♥️
I have to say this man is the most articulate rockstar.. his interviews are a flowing story.. probably a song lyric in all his sentences
I wish this interview was five times as long. Perhaps the best Ian Gillan interview I've ever heard. He was so engaged, so eager to be responding to such thoughtful questions. I've never heard him speak quite like this, ever.
What a guy! I could listen to him for hours.
Ian is more switched on than the vast majority of persons 30-60 years younger. I don't have the words to describe my absolute love for Deep Purple.
Indeed and my love for Ian , seeing him live ,listening to him ,hearing him singing ,...
That wouldn't be hard
Ian Gillan, what an amazing person.
Best interview I have ever seen with Ian, he finally seems happy.
No questions about Ritchie, they are both happy and long may they be.
Always Blackmore who is already history many years ago.
It is like watching zeppelin without Pagey
Time.for.retirement
@@leonedethebes That's your opinion but we Ian and Purple fans always love it when we can hear something new. I saw them live in 2022 with Simon and they were fantastic and I'm looking forward seeing them again in Oktober.
Sour Blackmore is past history long time ago. If the gentlemen from Purple still love singing ,performing ,making records we must enjoy it too and thank them .
@@carmenmusiclover.0532 Do you actually think that DP would ever exist without Blackmore?
@@kennethmoh9042 Absolutely! Of course Blackmore is a fantastic guitar player but he has such a bad character that it was very difficult to work with him.

He changed my life listening to Fireball and he still changing it today thank God and thank Ian

Mr Ian Gillan is very strong person, a real artist and truly Mystic.God bless you.
And grow up with classic musician and jazz as well grateful benefit
one of the best all time bands!!!!!
I LOVE his last remark about the sunshine !
Me too!!!
Ian Gillan has been my hero since I was 17 (I am 59). His voice is out of this world! Long live Ian Gillan!!!
Same age.
My first favorite.
I reallly dig the story construction(s) of his, and many other's rock lyrics.
..and if you love Ian Gillan be sure to check out his work on Black Sabbath's "Born Again" (1983). Mind-Blowing!
Ian is one of the reason I became a rock singer in 83 my band opened for Sabbath with Gillan on vocals I tried to get to speak with him but he spoke to the girl I was with instead
Yeah right what was the name of your band.
Rubbish
That would have been a good name.@brucedickinson12
Ian Gillan is the smartest of them all. Real pleasure to hear him talk.
Good for you Mr Gillan. I've been listening to Deep Purple since I was a teenager in the 1970s. You're always been my #1 band and I'm thrilled to see the new direction. Very happy for you all.
Ian is my all time favourite performer , songwriter , music hero since the seventies.
Ian always has something interesting to say. No matter where, no matter when. He will come up with something worth listening to. Excellent wordsmith in songwriting and daily life. See you in November guys.
What an amazing man, a true gent, Ian Gillan is the voice of Deep Purple, he always has and always will be ,Ian is very intellectual ,interesting and extremely professional ... my absolute hero of 5 decades 💜
Ian Gillen - best vocalist ever to grace the universe. My 13 year old grandson tells everyone he knows how Ian is his favorite too. Timeless ❤
Along with Freddie and Bruce from Maiden
Awesome interview. Ian and DP go way back in my 67 years. Good to see his positivity and contentment with life.
Ian reaffirms that with age comes wisdom. I like his positive outlook.
I would like to shake this guys hand and thank him for making my life so good..
Ian Gillan is still a beast of a singer!! So glad to see you all are still rocking as hard and as beautifully as ever. It goes without saying that I, like millions of others, continue to be enriched, inspired, and delighted by the great music you've created over the years. Endless gratitude! Peace, health, and happiness to you!
First time I heard this band in 1972, I knew that nobody compared to them. I was right. Love Ian Gillan and his band mates.
we have listened to soooo many gooood bands!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best bands, ever. And one of my favourites. Ian, magestic, gigant, amazing.
Such a good interview , the Pavarotti story , pure class from both spectrums.
Deep Purple are still a strong and solid band that are 100% unstopable.
They are 100% extremely talented.💯🤘
The first impression is how good Ian Gillan looked. A couple of years ago he looked so thin and frail. Nice to see him like this. ❤
Second, that was just about the best interview I’ve seen with him ever. Good questions and thoughtful replys. 🙏🏼
Ian Gillan’s interviews are so authentic, he's every bit the legend we love about him 👍
Awesome.....what a special person....he has been entertaining us since the early 70s....
Now this was extremely interesting for me, so many things I didn’t know, especially the story with Luciano Pavarotti. Deep Purple is still a great band and the new album with the new guitarist is probably one of their best. They still catch you and hold you in a positive sense!
Good on you Ian. What a career!
What a professional British gentleman. Could listen for hours 👏🏻❤️🇬🇧
Deep Purple has been a major part of my life since 1968.
What a great interview! I get the impression Gillan doesn't particularly enjoy being interviewed, but this one was different....
A lot of us bathing in the sunshine of Deep Purple! 🙌
Иэна Гиллана, даже не зная языка, могу слушать бес конечно! ❤
Absolute legends! Long live Deep Purple! Rock on gents!👊
What a guy and what a band they were and are. As a young man I played in bands and played a lot of Deep Purple.
"I'm bathed in the sunshine of Deep Purple" ❤❤❤ Best. Band. Ever.
I will love you forever Ian!❤
Beautiful interview.
👍🏻👍🏻
Respectful and positively inquisitive, and leaves room for Gillan's fantastic gentlemanly eloquence.
I've read his autobiography, written at a different stage of life. The Ian Gillan in this interview is remarkably at peace, mature, and full of spirit. Thank you for this interview!
What a beautiful mind sharing his insights, his memories and his unique mind 🥰 I love him and his work for decades now - and I never get bored
Totally legend..! Not only as one of the best voices ever, but as a very gifted personality, absorbing and reflecting the history. Great storyteller as well.
So happy Simon ended up in Deep Purple. A truly amazing guitar player.
Isn’t it incredible, Deep Purple are underrated .. but only in their home country. It’s changing, the last album got 10/10 reviews and was album of the week on the BBC.
Just 56 years U.K.! 😀
I love this guy he is the best
I'm so glad I took the time to see this interview. Great insights and wisdom.
How beautifully spoken Ian! Absolutely chilled to the max plus no ego! I doubt you realise your impact you have had continuously and still do! Wonderful interview DP force to be reckoned with without a doubt ! Thank you Ian 💜🙏💜

Fantastic new album. 13 excellent songs.
Wonderful thoughts by Mr Gilan ! Love to hear his stories and love to feel the shinning of Deep Purple !
Lunga vita ad un grande artista...per sempre-
A very good interview. Ian is a great speaker. We love to hear his stories about the past, and where they are going now. Thank you!
Great interview! I think the interviewer must have been in the same mood. This is an insight in the history of rock music. Jon Lord, Tony Iommi, Rick Wakeman, Brian May… Listening to them, telling about their life, it‘s fine food for my heart
Ian, you're a musical gift to the world. Thank you for doing this interview. Rock on sir! 🤘
Ian Gillan is still one of my favorite singers to this day and in my humble opinion the lyric writing team of Ian and Roger Glover in unmatched
We love you Ian
LIVING LEGEND 💜🤘🎶
I luv him more now ❤ from this interview❤
Good interview. I got to say though, I've been a Purple fan since the mid seventy's and I've even had the great thrill to meet most of them several time's. I've always loved their concerts. I tried but I can't get behind the new album. It just does not grab me the way they always did. I don't know why.
"Bathed in the Sun of Deep Purple" is an incredible thing to say. Really on point. We all are bathing in this amazing discography's light.
I had the chance to be backstage with Ian, Roger and Steve in a hotel for one hour after a concert in Luxembourg 1999, and asked the stupidest question "do you come often to Luxembourg ?" and I forgot to tell Steve that "sometimes I feel like screaming" was medicine for me. But the experience that Ian, Roger and Steve where so human and authentic like there music was the crowning glory of honesty
What a wonderful interview! A really natural personality Ian Gillan has. 10/10!!!!!
"I'm bathed in the sunshine of deep purple" What a way to express my feelings for my favorite rock band Thank you for posting this wonderful interview. Looking forward to getting the new record =1.
I'm glad they're still playing, producing. Great band, great people.
Can't wait to see you on tour this year! =1 is excellent. Well done Mr. Gillan and the rest of Purple. God bless!
WhooHoo, Welcome to Cincinnati!!!!!!!
Surprisingly humble and down to earth for a lead singer.
Thank you for the music, 'Pictures of You' is a 4 minute masterpiece❤
Top fella
incredible interview!...Ian Gillan truly a simple man and a living legend enclosed in the same body!....every young musician or music critic should see this interview to understand what it means to be a musician and have made the history of rock !
He's aged but not old! Still remember his near impromptu rendition at the Concerto for Group and Orchestra.
Very nice interview!
Bathed in the sunshine of Deep Purple - brilliant
It's crazy to see that Ian is knocking on the door to his 80s! 😲
Great singer, great man.
I think that was the most articulate and thoughtful interview I've ever seen with Mr Gillan, excellent stuff.
Great interview! Thanks
"Bathed in the sunshine of Deep Purple" ... that's a man who has his life in order.
Such a nice guy! I wish him and all DP members to be healthy and give us new music for many years to come.
Won't be many be realistic
@@martymartin2894 it was just a wish for gods sake. I know.
Legend! Through the years!
