Once again, I'm amazed that someone has a go at Gillan for his voice getting worse....he's 60 for goodness' sakes, show me a singer where that doesn't happen.

Mr Snippy dee doo dah....to quote my friend Ricky Blackmore ' A horse, a horse, gathers no moss. or something like that. Now I must loosely find a relevant answer but say it in a way that no one understands, missing the point completely though making out that I have just come up with an intelligent response. Because Gillan, not Gallons is a rock star and a very good friend of mine, we go drinking together and I show him my collections of just about everything in the world....anyway, back to the point in question.....er, i have forgotten the point but that is usual for me.

For one,I clearly[ed} wasn't addressing you in particular....and just how much money you've spent can't possibly be anywhere near what I have,and it doesn't have that effect one me,why don't you give us an example of the magnitude of your purchases...start with the size of your collection,and the tell us how many shows you've travelled and paid to see over the years,then maybe,just maybe,your take on the subject just might interest me for piece of mind and then,having backed your statements...maybe we could find some common ground,but no since carrying on about things without any filling.

About the last pragraph of your post....the word "SHOULD" is nothing but your opinion,so saying "to me" might have a better more positive feedback...and while your at it,take a better look into what he's doing these days in the drinking/smoking dept,plenty of reports on the subject for you to read here,you're off the mark a tad.
Unless you're speaking about the past of course,but then why do that,it has nothing to do with how he conducts himself in the present.

Gillan's recent drunk driving conviction seems to suggest that the present isn't as rosy as you're trying to paint it when his conduct is concerned. But in your mind it's irrelevant, isn't it?

---

Well,I'm sorry that as you're a newer member of these forums that I have to inform you that I've been in a drunk driving support group with my wife for years...due to a tragedy involving her sister that we both witnessed.

---

Supporting drunk driving...No wonder you're a fan of Gallons.

But this has nothing to do with how I feel about Gillans incident,I find it to be a very big wake up call for him,and in his book he mentioned something about knowing that authorites have gone to the length of letting his d/d go too far,and that he supposes he'll get a ticket sooner or later...
However I don't see the point in persicuting anyone for it,cause the laws for alcahol are the biggest who to blame department,and you have to understand that in order to move on with your feelings about it.

---

It's only the drunk driver there's to blame. The rules are there, they decide to break them. Nobody forced Gallons to drive, except his ego, and alcoholic state.
