One Eye on Planet Rock
Gillan did another radio appearance on the weekend, this time on Planet Rock in the UK. We apologise that we have not been able to give you an advance notice. The show will be repeated on Tuesday, March 31, at 6 p.m.
We’ve got a couple of great features this weekend, starting on Saturday when Ian Gillan drops into the studio for My Planet Rocks
Tune in to hear Ian talk about his new album One Eye To Morocco, about his time in Deep Purple and their upcoming tour and of course the music that influenced him in the early days.
My Planet Rocks is on Saturday at 6pm, and repeated on Tuesday at 6pm.
Thanks to Doug A for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I was able to hear the entire programm. It featured some of the tracks form his new album, and he listed some of the songs which have had and still have a particular influence on him as s musician, writer and human being. Pretty interesting interview, sadly only 30 minutes with Ian. Hope to hear more on Rockline.
March 29th, 2009 at 21:15I have recordered it. It was fantastic absolutely wonderful to listen historic segments of Ian’s personal life.
And it’s astonishing fact that he remembers it all after all these years. He also chosed his all time favorites from 60’s and later. Songs that influenced him the most. For me it was one of the best interviews with him and one of the most emotional. I’ll suggest everyone to listen the rerun of the show on tuesday. And here is the set list of all the songs that were included on the show.
1. No Lotion For That (from One Eye to Morocco)
2. Cliff Bennet – One Way Love
3. Small Faces – Lazy Sunday Afternoon
4. Rolling Stones – Come On
5. The Beatles – Love Me Do
6. Ronnie James Dio – Love Is All (From Butterfly Ball)
7. Jimi Hendrix – Wind Cries Mary
8. Deep Purple – Speed King
9. Deep Purple – Razzle Dazzle
10. Deal With It (from One Eye…)
And he talks about last song, because that one’s also a true story, very interesting !
March 29th, 2009 at 23:17I must admit I m not a genius on the computer but…..
Why on earth is it that we live for years now in a gloabal society with the world wide web and STILL have problems listening to things we want to hear?!
Every time I try to listen to certain shows it seems necessary, appearantly, that I should be a UK resident, or lie about my zipcode or fill in again the zillionth form with registration stuff.
VERY VERY ANNOYING.
CHANGE THAT BS!!!!
March 30th, 2009 at 13:09I agree purplepriest.
I’m also not UK citizen so i also have problems with that, but with planet rock it’s different.
I’m very satisfied with listening Planet Rock on the internet. Here is a direct link, just click on that and it will directly open your windows media player and Planet Rock will Rock 🙂
Here you go, enjoy!

I started with the link
It asked, I hate that, if I want to read or install it.
OPSLAAN? It says in Dutch.
I m not sure right now how to translate that.
Maybe itsnot install but…..?
Whatever….
So there ya go…..
And like it often does, it goes somewhere on my pc but I do not know where….
Maybe certain clever people could do something about these practices?
March 30th, 2009 at 16:06You know who you are….
9. Deep Purple – Razzle Dazzle
Yes!!! A great little throwaway.
March 30th, 2009 at 16:57Indeed… “I’m Working On My Thinking And I’m Thinking It’s Improving”
March 30th, 2009 at 17:07“What Are We Doing Heeeerrrreeeee”…..
March 30th, 2009 at 22:27Hey, finally coming to your senses?
Cheers and goodnight.

March 31st, 2009 at 00:10Hi, Purplepriest, I’m afraid the larger web, the more problems… How much trash there is, completely useless. I even don’t try to get in any show…
March 31st, 2009 at 10:18By the way, the more new pics I see, the angrier I become.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:23@ 11
I remember I was talking to Tracy
@ 12
Joanna
What about the pics?
Do you mean you are one of those who resent his short hair?
In the last interview I read he said that he used to be a rebel, ….., and that it was that why he used to have long hair.
Should that imply he says he has grown up?
March 31st, 2009 at 13:26Adapted to society rules?
Has become a member of the establishment, and still making music but more and more for fun and money instead of an authentic DRIVE?
Priest, he was continuing the run of lyrics from Razzle Dazzle in case you missed it. We were jib jabbin’ (just made that up, but it seemed like the proper term at the moment)…
Joanna: I must admit…..I miss Ian’s hair. Old or not, he looks better with it. He began letting it grow again around the time of “Live 8” and I was ever so happy. Then the next time I see him, he cut it again. Grow it Back Ian……(Priest don’t start..he he he).
Cheers
March 31st, 2009 at 13:48@ 15
Yep, went the wrong path….
I already sensed something like that but…..was too LAZY to check that.
Although I prefer Bananas to ABANDON and ROTD and think it has some good tracks this one is not exactly it.
March 31st, 2009 at 15:42I prefer to skip it, play Sun goes down, Silver tongue, Bananas, Doing it tonight and sometimes House of pain….
Btw, I do not really mind if people wear short or long hair
Everyone should do as they please
My personal taste is that most people look better with longer hair, it often compensates the basis, hehehe
I never let grow MY HAIR to say I m a rebel,just like and liked having long hair, never thought of making a point or statement with it.
Although my parents were shocked and thinking they had a hippie in the house and even said I looked like an native Americain…..wtf is wrong with that I wondered….,I insisted
I wanted to resemble Ian Gillan, DC or Robert Plant, so In a way I m making up for Ians short hair?
Because I do a lot of sports I should trim it very short but I tend to leave it like it is.
March 31st, 2009 at 15:48@14
You couldn’t be more lost concerning my last post, it doesn’t get any funnier than your reply!
One flew way over the head?
March 31st, 2009 at 16:04You don’t sing with your hair, period! Try wrapping the old noodle around that.
March 31st, 2009 at 16:06Yeah Priest,
Agree with you on Razzle. Not one of the faves but then, there are many from all MK albums that I click past. One thing I would like you to do is make a CD of your favorite tracks from MK7 and MK8. Put them in mixed order. CRANK IT UP!!!! Amazing what a Great CD you will come up with. I made 2 because there were too many for one. I selected the same amount from each album. Seriously, for any of you out there who haven’t done this, it’s a great way to enjoy Present Purple and will suprise you at how well present Purple stacks up to Old Purple…
The Hair thing….
I’ve had long hair since I was around 13, when my father finally conceded and allowed me to let it grow…..
I just preferred it that way and is still that way. Thinner unfortunately but still long (what’s left of it). I had to cut it when I was first hired with the Fire Department and was in training. But as soon as I graduated, I never cut it again and eventually had to tie it up and keep it under my hat, or make a little round bun behind my head. That went on for 25 years until I retired in 2003. Everyone thought I was a stoner and would approach me, trying to score some dope. I never fell into the drug thing. I was too busy listening to music, going to concerts, hunting and fishing with my dad and friends. I centered myself around same types and we had great times growing up doing everything together. Cracked open brews and threw back tons of whiskey…
People ask me if I drink any more…..I always answer one of 2 ways….”No not any more…..not any less either”..or..”I’d have to drink less in order to drink more”.
So on that note…’Drink Up Shriners…..”
Cheers
March 31st, 2009 at 19:02Ahhh!
March 31st, 2009 at 19:06@ 19
Maybe singing with a moustache works better?
March 31st, 2009 at 20:27Your pic reminded me vaguely of Freddy Mercury.
Hahaha, funny!
Never heard that one, but it is very funny.
It looks a little better these days, but it was long once upon a time, once was probably enough, sadly.
But aren’t we talking about Ian and facts?
March 31st, 2009 at 21:17Nope, we are not talking.
March 31st, 2009 at 22:26Suit yourself, I guess you aren’t onto figure of speech yet.
April 1st, 2009 at 02:19I m just taking some time to unwind
April 1st, 2009 at 13:23When you’re done relaxing, figure of speech will still be awaiting you to master it’s complexity.
April 1st, 2009 at 14:41I dont long for it.
I know by now that you re a hard headed man and, no matter what, want to have your final say……
April 1st, 2009 at 15:41Not at all, just a positively enthusiastic man that is very well shielded against expression of the miserable. I’d rather read from that of adults who can handle reality more positively.
April 1st, 2009 at 17:41I listened to the show, I love IG’s quirky humour, if you’ve ever read the Q and A’s on his website, please tell me if he’s serious or joking. I remember when he and Roger did the ‘Friday Rock show’ in place of Tommy Vance (bless his soul), they played some great tracks, happy days indeed, having to rush home from the pub and bang a couple of tapes in the old Hitachi stereo to listen to it sober, people complain about radio shows on the internet…jeez, I can recall having to go to work on monday mornings asking if anyone had a recording of Vancies show and during my hard up days having to crane my neck at strange angles to listen to casettes of ‘in rock’ on a £5 personal stereo in case the signal cut out, I first heard DP properly through Tommy Vance and I still call them my favourite band all these years later.
April 2nd, 2009 at 07:48By the way, Marcinn, I am trying my best to plug DP and all things associated to my Polish mates, usually it involves getting them to down the odd beer or two and slipping a CD into the hi fi when they’ve had a couple or more, often they ask ‘who is this’ and I’m in my element…all royalties gratefully accepted.
April 2nd, 2009 at 07:53Actually it is harder being the ‘Last Word’ person in a true discussion. The Last Word would be….Yeah, I get it. You are right or I just refuse to try and understand your point so F..k off!!
That is the real Last Word and the True one……but rarely uttered by anyone…due to the lack of reason….or concern for anything but their little bubble…
Cheers
April 3rd, 2009 at 02:41…yours too!
Cheers!
April 3rd, 2009 at 15:36I don’t think you got my point CG…..think outside the Bubble….he he he
