The contagious yawning experiment
During the band’s last visit to Montreux, Ian Gillan sat down to chat with the Independent Culture:
Uhm, minor annoyance: Independent Culture could use a habit of cleaning camera lens before shooting the footage.
Thanks to steve4422, Uwe Hornung, ozzie carr, Mike Whiteley, and Simon for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Hilarious! “Misquoted?! Heaven forbid!” . I messaged Ritchie Blackmore once about somebody putting nonsensical words in his mouth in his some article. He responded, “If I chased down every time someone misquoted me I’d have no time for anything else.”
July 20th, 2026 at 22:13I really like it that Gillan returned to screaming on “Guilt Trippin’.” No one can do it like him, and playing it slightly under the music bed does it justice. He’s not going to hit the high notes on “Child In Time” but could do it a little underneath like “Guilt Trippin’.”
