He was singing much better in the band Gillan than on BA .Huge drunken career mistake joining Sabbath imho Agree 100% here. I don't hear Gillan being 'raspy' on 'In Rock'. He could power up his voice for stuff like 'Speed King' and Bloodsucker, but what about CIT, HLM, Flight Of The Rat and Living Wreck? His voice is quite clear on those songs. He picked which song he wanted to grunge-up on all the MKII albums. What about JCS? No rasp there. His voice was crystal clear. He couldn't have done any of those tunes by the time he was in Sabbath. He still sang quite well in Gillan into early 1982. Listen to the 'Off The Record' concert recorded at Gillingham(?) Studios in early 1982. He sang soft, clear, grungy and with power depending on which tune he was singing. The closer, 'New Orleans' shows that he still had power and range. It cranked. He was hurting later in 1982 and was told to rest his voice for about a year. Instead, he went off to the voice-destroying Sabbath stint. His voice was baked by the end of that tour and never actually recovered by the time DP reformed. He was up and down big-time during the reunion tour. He sang real well sometimes and just plain awful at other times. I was lucky that I caught him on a couple of the good times. Plenty of recordings show him at the low points. Too bad for such a great singer and the man who got me into DP. nondisclosed_email@example.com (JSA1)Thu, 19 May 2016 17:59:19 +0000 Re: Purple ,Zeppelin and Sabbathhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501735,from=rss#post501735https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501735,from=rss#post501735quote:Big J wrote: quote:lightintheblack0 wrote: quote:ptr 100% agree with Friedhelm about Born Again - it´s one of Gillan´s best performance on any studio record..

Even Never Say Die is more satisfactory, with Johnny Blade, Junior's Eyes better as anything on BA. All Dio albums. Even the Tony Martin albums (except Forbidden) are all better. That leaves The 7th Star, recorded as a solo album, released as BS. Also miles ahead of BA. BA to me is a bad joke with some ok tracks, overall unlistenable and certainly not one of Gillan's finest moments. nondisclosed_email@example.com (dp344)Thu, 19 May 2016 12:59:50 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501698,from=rss#post501698https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501698,from=rss#post501698I consider Born Again as among best BS records (with first five Sabbath classic albums and then Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules).... actually with Headless Cross, last valuable Sabbath album (in terms of chronological order).

I would have rather him not done Sabbath, taken more time off to get his voice in shape and then had the Purple reunion. I think that we would have had much better Gillan and maybe they would have stayed together. Instead, he fried his voice and never really recovered. Sometimes it seems that there were different Gillans in a band! He had rough raspy sound mainly in Mk2a era (especially on In Rock and excluding occasional later stuff like Mitzi Dupree).... and then he got very raspy in TBRO era (which I consider as lowest point of his singing with DP). 100% agree with Friedhelm about Born Again - it´s one of Gillan´s best performance on any studio record. Tour itself is different thing (it was like day and night - some shows were absolutely stunning, some were bad), but actually - I think that his vocals on Perfect Strangers album are great too - Perfect Strangers (the song itself) is one of Gillan´s absolute vocal masterpieces and his voice in that particular track is BEAUTIFUL. In terms of live performance - it was similar to previous periods - there are some great shows (mainly from North American tour), some average ones (PS Live) and some disasterous (Paris).nondisclosed_email@example.com (ptr)Wed, 18 May 2016 08:00:59 +0000 Re: Purple ,Zeppelin and Sabbathhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501674,from=rss#post501674https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501674,from=rss#post501674quote:Friedhelm wrote: For me, Gillan never sang better than on Born again.

Best live would be DP. Zep was excellent, also, but just comparing DP with Zep, DP's shows were way more consistent. Zep had great shows, but there are many more average shows. 'How The West Was Won' is probably the best compilation out there. One of my favorites. Legacy goes to Zep. Page has controlled this and has only let the best, for the most part, get released. Purple just doesn't have somebody like Page in their corner. Purple and Zep are pretty much equal in albums. Sabbath had some good stuff, but, eh.... Master Of Reality is my favorite from them and it stands with the others. Vol. IV and Bloody are pretty good, but the rest don't compare overall. Zep has the corner on best songs. They are more radio friendly. You hear stuff from all their albums on classic rock stations and even on some of the more 'Pop' oriented stations. Purple's songs are just as good as far as music goes, but only songs from 'Machine Head' get much airplay, discounting 'Hush' and 'KW' from MKI. You hear WFT quite often and stuff from IR and Fireball now and then, but not in the volume of the Zep tunes. Best instrumentals go to DP. Zep had their moments, but DP's body of live releases just walks all over the others. Sabbath, good players, but nothing special live, really. Vocalists go to DP. Gillan was the absolute best of his era. Coverdale and Plant were close, although Plant's voice faltered a bit towards the end, whereas I think Coverdale's got a bit better. Ozzy was good at what he did and I think that his voice stayed real good for almost all of his career compared to the other three. A few points to make here. In no way is Zep overrated. Over-hyped, maybe, but not overrated. Their body of work stands for itself. Towards the end, Page's drug use and Bonham's heavy drinking took its toll physically, but they still kept things together. As far as Gillan being at the peak of his powers in Sabbath, really? His best, vocally, was with MKIIa and some of his best work was done with 'Gillan'. When he got with Sabbath, he was supposed to be resting his pipes. He had power, but his range and tone were not there. He mostly screamed a lot during many of the tunes because his upper range was gone and that hurt his chords real bad. At the end of Sabbath, his voice was baked. I got to see them towards the end and it wasn't very good. He never recovered and that is why his voice faltered during MKIIb. I'm a big Gillan fan. He is the reason that I got into DP. His early stuff with Episode Six is really good and JCS was just superb. He just wasn't the same after Sabbath and I can do without that period just because of what happened to his voice. nondisclosed_email@example.com (JSA1)Tue, 17 May 2016 18:27:53 +0000 Re: Purple ,Zeppelin and Sabbathhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501657,from=rss#post501657https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501657,from=rss#post501657quote:ptr wrote: Actually - I think that Gillan´s performances of War Pigs or Black Sabbath are the best ones... especially in case of Black Sabbath IG added unique epic terrifying atmosphere.

Gillans work in Sabbath is better left forgotten IMHO the vocals on the album were awesome but live?Oh dear. nondisclosed_email@example.com (lightintheblack0)Sun, 15 May 2016 21:40:00 +0000 Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501620,from=rss#post501620https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p501620,from=rss#post5016201 thru 6....all Deep Purple. It's not because I'm a Deep Purple fan that I say this, but it's the reason why I became a fan. nondisclosed_email@example.com (zen2)Sun, 15 May 2016 20:13:15 +0000
