I like Coverdales voice now at least what iv heard on the DVD.
but i saw Ian Gillan & Friends in march of last year. as a support act for Scorpions & Judas Priest at the Tommy Vance cancer concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
& his voice sounded so boring he sounded like an average joe down the Pub. & compared to Rob Halford well lets just say he sounded very average.

he sounded a lot like some of the stuff from "Fireball" to me. some points blah, but Coverdale is no better from the last live disc i heard.

the Live In The Still Of The Night DVD/CD was in likr 2004 i think not sure he sounds great on that.

Gillan could sing good on Fireball Album
to me he hardly sounds the same now.

ah, the album I heard was newer than that. Came out last year, forget the name. gave it 2-3 spins, mostly for the song "Burn/Stormbringer" then put it away.

have any of these rock singers who've lost their high register; have they considered going a different direction; singing an octave or two lower?

i for one would welcome an experiment like that. it might sound good, and give new legs to their careers.

if for instance gillian is to the point where, he opens his mouth to scream and nothing comes out... perhaps he should try singing lower...

or maybe he should employ a voice synth... there's so much gear out there these days which would help him 'jazz up' his voice... maybe he should consider it...

what would the (other) fans think? i don't know...

but i'm always open to a new approach... variations on an old theme if you wil...

I saw Gillan and Friends at Albert Hall too, I'll go always to see his concert because Gillan from '69 to '73 was one of greatest singer of the world, you can compare him with Halford and Klaus Mine, but now HE is not the same Gillan and the same voice. Now Coverdale (I saw him in Hammersmith 2004) is better than Gillan. The Coverdale's problem is he want sing high notes and he has never had that voice.

I love Gillan's voice (pay attention, Gillan of the past times) but I have always prefered Covedale.
Anyway they are two awesome singers, surely among the best ever, if you ask me.

Don't know how many of you guys have already heard this: DON AIREY'S latest studio album is called A LIGHT IN THE SKY and I must say this album killed me. It's fantastic. Airey gives us the mix of hard rock, blues, jazz, prog plus some space elements, which makes this album really enjoyable.

The best tracks? No. 2 (Ripples In The Fabric Of Time - offers some Jarresque flavour), no.3 (Shooting Star - good riffing and thick hammond sound), no.6 (Endless Night - vintage Purple sound), and above all: no. 13 A Light In The Sky Pt2 - I think the best song I've heard in a decade or so. Trust me, this song is just phoenomenal.

Who's in the band along with Don? The rhythm section od Thunder, Rob Harris on guitar. On vocals: Danny Bowes (Thunder) and Carl Sentance (this guy originally sang Master Of Insanity back in 1986, the song that eventually ended up on the Dehumanizer album a couple of years later, in 1992. Carl really knows his job. Good, soaring vocals, stamina - he's got it all.

All in all: this is the album of the year so far Smile

I'm serious. Don Airey's solo effort is waaaay better than Rapture Of The Deep. This is no blasphemy. It's a fact. Check this album for yourself. You're gonna love it!

I watched Deep Purple in Sarajevo on their Rapture of the deep tour and they are fantastic, we all must understand that most of the songs that Gillan sings are very hard to preform but he still does it very good, Pace still plays drums fantastic, bass sound's great. Morse is a great guitarist, but Blackmore is better! My favorite album is In Rock

DEEP PURPLE keyboardist Jon Lord was interviewed earlier this week by Planet Rock's Nicky Horne about the upcoming 30th-anniversary reissue of PURPLE's "Come Taste The Band" album. You can now stream the chat using the Soundcloud player below.

The "Come Taste The Band" 35th-anniversary reissue is due out on October 25 in the U.K. and November 2 in North America via EMI. It includes a remastered version of the album, plus the single edit of "You Keep On Moving" on disc one. Disc two features a remixed version of the LP by Kevin Shirley (LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN, JOURNEY, HIM), with input from Glenn Hughes, plus two previously unreleased instrumental tracks from the sessions.

"Come Taste The Band" was recorded between August 3 and September 1, 1975 at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, and released in October 1975. The album was co-produced and engineered by the band and longtime associate Martin Birch (IRON MAIDEN, BLACK SABBATH). It is the only DEEP PURPLE studio record featuring Tommy Bolin, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar. When Blackmore left the band, many observers and critics assumed that DEEP PURPLE would not continue. It was David Coverdale who asked Jon Lord to keep the band together, and Tommy Bolin was asked to take the guitar slot. The band was rounded off by bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice.
