G.I. Wasnt that an album by his hero Elvis Presley?

Ask Ricardo to join and call it BIG?

Dont ask Bill Ward, it might lead to WIG?

The jury here on the importance of having long hairs has settled for the moment now……

Ian should let grow it again, colour it again……
Might look good when DP 2 reforms for some shows.

I dont ask about a worldtour but Lordy and Blackers have said that they are open to do a few, so……

THIS IS THE TIME.

After a celebration with the originals on a mini tour resulting in a well pro shot, THIS TIME!!!!!!, DVD…, they can get back to the MK 8 thingy and die with a smile on their face.

I agree on SOTW issue, but again, the other stuff made the difference, and also the fact that you could play different versions with different Guitarists playing made it something a little different also. I agree on the Copenhagen issue also. It’s all BS that all of our HNIC are using to squeeze more money out of us all for their own agendas….(that’s all I am going to say here regarding that, don’t want to go all Political and lose more friends).

#24 Ghost….

Thanks for the correction. I get names of people and song titles mixed up when I am trying to respond on this computer. Not sure I agree with your point though regarding whether or not DB would have come out OK or not. I have a different perspective on Re-dos than most. I would actually prefer a different approach to the redo of a tune rather than a carbon copy. Gillan is an amazing talent whom with age and experience has learned how to manipulate his pipes in order to carry out most songs from the past by using different techniques and ranges outside the original effort. I would have no problem with him going ‘low’ in places that are not attainable in their original ‘high’ levels, as long as the main body of the tunes are somewhat close. Otherwise as I’ve always stated…just listen to the original recording if that is what is expected by the listener.

Thanks for the comedy relief!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have a point but I don’t understand why you can’t express it better, you simply either exaggerate or you don’t follow enough, period.

Tracy, it was ‘Trashed’, to further this guys point in a more factual manner, no way could he have re-done ‘Digital Bitch’ with any success, unless of course he left out the massively piercing screams at the end, which of course there wouldn’t be any reason the re-do it. The ‘new Trashed’ worked alright though, kind of an upgrade I guess. But come to think of it, there are some weird vocal sounds going on in parts, kind of maniacal to say the least, almost humorous.

I m with ya there.

Wish Gillan had put some more time in studios over the last 15 years singing ROCK based on GOOD compositions and with the RIGHT musicians.

Digital bitch and a few retakes on Gillans Inn were really fine.

But why on earth redoing Smoke On The Water again?!
Does that attract more buyers?

Nag nag……

Im freezing here…..

Getting too old for this climate….
Earth warming up?

What are they doing in Copenhagen? Discussing how to scare people so that they can ask more taxes?

Stone Coooooooooooooooooooooold

I ve been put in a deep freeeeeeeeeeeeeezzeeeeeeee

I take it you never heard the ‘Gillan’s Inn’ CD where he does a new recording of ‘Digital Bitch’…..

Sounded Just Fine.

Hope to see a picture if him still in Purple 10 years from now on the same sofa….

So I think nothing happened to him.

I dont recall negative audience response as well.

Here people KNEW what they were getting, maybe compared to people elsewhere?

I was never a big fan of the album but certain tracks I like a lot.
Ian could deliver a few BS songs in great style as well.

I m not awaiting ANYTHING from DP, Ian Gillan and so on right now…..
IMHO their surpass date has long gone.

But, ofcourse, Im open to surprises….

It does not seem a full blown project to me, this Iommi and Gillan thing, but it cetainly cant be that bad as what I m used to now.

Tracy has come back from hunting?

Come on Bev and Geezer, join in and push for this. How awesome a gig that would be…

Cheers

Excellent guestwriter coming to the rescue?

That would be COOL!
