I know, I know, we have promised to restore The Highway Star in different languages, but various difficulties got in the way. In the meanwhile, we have boards for fan discussions in different languages in our forum:
We can add more languages, just ask.
The German board already has a lively discussion, while the rest are yet to find it’s audience. It came to that two Germans (perhaps out of boredom) even started a conversation in French! 🙂

Uli Jon Roth were gusting on Ian Gillan’s solo album Gillan’s Inn. It seems like Ian Gillan will guesting Uli Jon Roth next album. Here is what Uli said recently in a interview:
Recently one of my guys talked to Ian’s manager, Michael Lee Jackson, who said it would be nice if Ian would sing one song on my new album. So they offered to do this and I wrote a song for Ian, but we haven’t recorded it yet, I’m going to send it to them and hopefully he likes it and records it. It would be great to have him on the album.
Thanks to Deep Purple Italia and Metal-Rules.com for the information.
Michael Lee Jackson who worked with Ian Gillan on his solo album, Gillan’s Inn, as well toured with Ian Gillan last year, has done a solo album. It’s called “In A Heartbeat” (2006). Ian sings back up on a few tracks, and lead on “Have Love, Will Travel”. You can find the album in our shop.
