    He needs to grow his hair back. Much more “Purple” this way. Long Live the Mane”……..

    he and the boyz still Rock though, but I miss his long hair in his face all sweaty and stuff. You have to admit it has it’s place.

    Hang on – “Planete” is definitely not a Polish TV channel, it’s more French than anything else and anybody who has the access to cable or satellite network in Europe can watch it for free.
    Anyway – very kind of them to feature a film on IG.

    1.This Planete is a Polish version of the Planete channel. So the info is almost right:).
    2. Yes you’re right. Down with mowers! Long live long hair.
    3. I’m disappointed. This program was a material from the “Journey in Rock”DVD, with a Polish translation. And there were fragments only. The full material lasts at least 2 hours… But the program was very useful for Polish fans who don’t speak English.

    On the subjectof Gillans hair – the way it is now is much more approriate for a man in his 60’s…My wife thinks he looks even better than George Clooney (and she is not a Purple fan!!)

    Also, in the forum people are mentioning Jesus Christ Superstar, if you go to Youtube and type in Ian Gillan Gethsemane, somebody has posted his version of said song and if you haven’t heard it yet as a Gillan fan I recommend that you definitely should!!

    Ian’s hair… It might not be a topic for an appropriate discussion. 😉 In his case it is the voice that counts, and the way he sings… He still amazes me to this day. The performances of the Blindman send a chil down my spine every single time I hear it live or on the bootleg. And I agree with Scratchplate1, Ian looks much better and much younger with short hair, and Ian, if the hair are to fall into your bear, simply do your job 😀

    Sorry, these opinions “appropriate for men of 60s” are only stereotypes, more wrongful than useful. All is the matter of taste. As for mine, Ian looked very nice in Brighton in 2004 and his hair wasn’t very long. In Vilnius in 2002 he had his hair short, but he looked very nice, too. If he wants to have his hair short, he has to change the hairdresser now. This year in the USA he looked awful. I don’t mind short hair, but I hate all these semi-baldhead so-called hair-dos, independently of one’s age. I’ve seen Adrian Vandenberg lately (53 years old), he’s got long hair and he looks super. As I’ve said, all is the matter of taste, and please don’t try to make me believe something is “appropriate” or “not appropriate” for one’s age. De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum.

    Hey,

    Seems even a 60+ year old with long hair and sweat stains can make some of the ladies moist.

    Your quite welcome to run your hands over my dreadlocks!!
