I hope that Joe will put the blues on hold for a while and focus on hard rock,RnR, and BCC will continue in continuity, at least one more studio album and a big world tour. Glenn is still a fantastic singer and bassist. BCC incredible band,for me the best in the 21st century, a lot of talent… maybe I’m exaggerating ?, I’m still under the impression

Glenn is starting to look like Cliff Richard.
July 30th, 2025 at 08:59Glenn H: the voice of rock!
Well, ok, but come on folks, can’t we at least agree on this fact:
July 30th, 2025 at 11:33Ian Gillan is THE VOICE of rock, and all the other singers can fight all they want of who is number 2, 3, 4 and so on and so forth ☺️
Come on karin admit it….gillan cant sing any more well over time to retire
July 30th, 2025 at 12:57Ivica @1. For over 15 years I have been hoping and praying for that to happen…to no avail. Up to the present day, JoBo has continued to disappoint in that regard. Seems JoBo would rather take 100% of the gate receipts in a modestly successful solo venture, versus having a 25% split of the gate in a band in which he has to share the spotlight. I’m not holding my breath any longer for JoBo to commit to BCC. I love Glenn Hughes in all his incarnations….I wish he would just find a different guitarist and move on in whatever other direction that takes him.
Karen @ 3….yes indeed Glenn IS indeed the Voice of Rock…..singer for Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Gary Moore, Hughes/Thrall, Black Country Communion, The Dead Daisies, Trapeze, Iommi/Hughes, Phenomena, Voodoo Hill, etc etc et al. I have always loved Ian Gillan best of all, even over Ronnie James Dio, but I have no problem whatsoever stating that yes, Glenn is truly the enduring Voice of Rock. I can provide several examples of Glenn in full flight if you’d like.

Dave, so nice to answer your question, and let me do it in all sincerity, honestly and with the outmost respect and seriousness required 😇
When I hear Ian sing, I am not only hearing his voice at it is now. No, indeed I hear how it was when he started (my first records with him as the vocalist is when he attended Episode Six), how the voice developed as he became a mature man (see Max und Uwe, men do indeed mature too, at least outside these holy halls of opinions 😂) and how, when he hit the 50s of age, it became more deep and masculine.
You are of course right Dave that when we hear Ian this day and age, it’s easy to recognise that he isn’t a young man anymore.
But all these sensory impression put together, I enjoy very very VERY much to listen to this fantastic vocalist as he sounds today 😊
(And no, Caramba isn’t paying me anything to have this sincere opinion! It’s my own 😊☺️)
I do think it is marvellous that a man that turns 80 years old next month still can sing as Ian does!
Is my answer fulfilling and in-depth enough?

Well, let’s agree to disagree ☺️
Thank you for your kind help to understand the depths of Glenn H., but Uwe has already provided for my, well, can I name it education?, I guess I can.
