If you are curious to see what Ian Gillan could do.... Deep Purple - Child In Time - 1970

Ian Gillan is the man who influenced Bruce Dickinson and so many other great vocalists. A true legend.

Ian Gillan is now 75... his vocal prowess is not what it was 30 years ago... he has adapted his singing style in accordance with the physical changes that occur with age... he still sounds very good in studio... his career has been story book... not to mention he is the only singer to ever front Deep Purple & Black Sabbath...

This man was the spiritual granddaddy of all of the great multi-octave rock and metal vocalists. Dare I say, more so than Robert Plant - and I love Robert Plant.

Deep Purple child in time. Same singer will blow you away 🤘🤘

Ian Gillan. Child in time 🤯

It looks weird to me that someone dedicated to music analisys don’t knew before Ian Gillan. He’s one of the biggest and most influential rock voices all time, no doubt. A opera lover, even music lover, must know Pavarotti?

I can't believe you haven't made a Child In Time reaction after a year.

Child in Time Deep Purple's magnum opus. Anyone who loves music owes it to themselves to listen to it once in their life.

"Made in Japan" 1972 live - "Strange kind of woman" - epic voice/guitar battle. A masterpiece.

You have to remember.. that when this came out some of us were teens, no internet, no mobiles. A couple of music papers and magazines. We would pre order this and wait outside the record shop for it to open on release day. An album was relatively expensive back then. Would rush it back home and play it loud with a couple of mates on whoever had acccess to a parents 'hi-fi'. You maybe a little stunned by listening to this for the first time, but we were fuckin' blown away. We had the best of it !!!!!

One of the best songs ever written, along with "Child in Time".

Deep purple child in time, surprised you haven't seen that yet. Their best song. Amazing voice.

Great react, you should react on Child in time. 😊

Your reaction to his banshee wail is so perfect you should see him in concert he can make the hairs on your neck stand up and send a cold chill down your spine. He is so amazing. He is in my top five singers him being number one.

Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Tim Rice Vocals: Ian Gillan

Ian Gillan is a true vocal legend for his work in deep purple alone but he is also the first Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (the original rock opera album).

Please react to Ian Gillan (with Deep Purple) with "Child in time" from Purple`s legendary live-album "Made in Japan"(1972).

Rebecca - Love you and your videos! Ian Gillan is one of the best, especially when he was younger. I am including links to two clips that you must watch of Ian from 1970. They are both excellent and I will be surprised if you do not shed tears during "Child In Time." Deep Purple was my favorite band during the 70s and I used to sit and listen to him singing this song and I would sometimes just weep, prompted by the lyrics and Ian's incomparable vocal delivery. Yes, Ian is still singing and with Deep Purple. He sang with them from 1969-1973, 1984-1989, and from 1992 to the present. In between he fronted his own band (s), Blackmore's Rainbow, Black Sabbath, etc. He is one of Rock's all-time great vocalists, for sure. I hope you enjoy these tracks: "Gethsemane" ("I Only Want To Say") from Jesus Christ Superstar (1970): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbWarKqqlrS2ZI0.html Emotionally prepare yourself for this one: "Child In Time" (1970): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdWijcaA37THl3k.html P.S. Don't be distracted by the comatose audience during "Child In Time" ... it was a cultural and time-era phenomenon. :-)

Glad you discovered Ian. The rest of us did 50yrs ago. 😉 Deep Purple song btw

I fear you might lose control of all bodily functions when you hear him sing Child In Time. I recommend a medicinal G&T afterwards, followed by standing under a cold shower in whatever you're wearing (your clothes will probably be on fire at that point). 🤣 😂

This brings me back. My dad showed me some Deep Purple when I was a little kid. Ian's voice is amazing. What an underrated vocalist. Thanks for the throwback. 🙏🙃❤

Yes, he is still singing with his band Deep Purple. He's in his 70's now.

I find it funny that this lady is only now discovering how brilliant a lot of rock singers are … something which I have known about for the last 45 years of my life lol

Man, the fact that this reaction is NOT to 'Child in time' live TV performance 1970, is a travesty. =/ You're still lovely tho, Rebecca. Ofc. :)

Highway Star! That's one Hella vocal!

If you want to hear one of his greatest live performances check out Child In Time - 1970 live. Was a life changer for me.

Ian Gillan and Richie Blackmore are one of the best combos in rock history.

Thanks Rebecca for the like 🤣 must is sweet child in time" Ian at is best" will blow you away" would love to hear your thoughts on this incredible vocal... stay pretty gorgeous. Barry ❤️

you have to do Child in Time with Deep Purple :)

I've always enjoyed Ian Gillan's voice and his voice is a gift,all the vocal lessons in the world won't make you an Ian Gillan.

Can we have a "Ritchie Blackmore reacts to Ian Gillan" video? ;)

Deep Purple's Child in Time shows what he can.

Firstly, you look stunning today. Do yourself a favour and listen to the original studio version a few times. Have you reacted to Child in Time by Deep Purple? You will see what his voice can really do. There's a great live version, I'll find it and paste the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdWijcaA37THl3k.html

Ian Gillan, he's good, and he will bloody well tell you about how good he is!

Deep Purple. Mother of God, it's my favorite group of musicians and has been for over 40 years. But I'm still getting chills and goosebumps when I hear most of their songs.....

Ian is still singing:) but I think you need to check him singing Child in time, with his main band Deep Purple. I think there you can taste his full range:) jaw dropping experience 150%:) check album version, because live recordings from early-mid 70 are mostly bad quality, and that was his peak:(

Gillan is something else, you really should have reacted to child in time 1970 though.

Hahaha "I felt like a firework just flew out of his mouth!" I must use that at some point. Perfectly summed up Rebecca!

Rebecca is so beautiful, expressive, funny...and cool about the drummer wearing an old school Flamengo shirt hehe. Kisses from Rio!

Queensryche, I Will Remember UNPLUGGED... you will not regret it...

"Deep Purple - Child in Time" (live audience version). Same vocalist, amazing song!

Nice sincere reaction from you for Great Deep Purple... Thanks so much..

Yes, Ian is still singing, still in pretty good voice for a 74-year old.

Him singing Sweet child in time from Deep Purples 4 album released in 1970 is breathtaking and a lot of rock singing was influenced by him and deep purple

One of the more underrated bands in history

Is that the first time you heard the great Ian Gillan? A happy person... So much is yet to hear.

I'm glad I re discovered your channel. This is one of my favourite purple songs. Ian gillan is still an amazing singer. I love your scientific yet soulful explanations. (Also you have a great voice to listen to "wink"). I've been watching your videos and have enjoyed all I've seen so far. Thank you.

Ian Gillan, my favorite Rock male singer ever.

CHILD IN TIME (You might learn something) Still touring at 73

This Has Always Been One Of My Many Deep Purple Favourites .

I absolutely LOVE your reaction at 10.00......(just seen this vid yesterday). Bought me here as Gillan is my favourite rock singer and this song is one of my favourite Purple songs. Many thanks!

Looking great as always. Ian Gillian is a legend, listen to Child in Time if you liked his scream. Cheers!

I love that you highlighted his sheer expressiveness. All the range in the world won't do much good if you can't emote, yeah?

I love Rebecca's videos! Its like she just landed on earth and has never heard of any of the singers that she features.

Just wanted to say how lovely you are and so up beat. I truly appreciate people who are capable of understanding the depth and true complicity of rock\heavy metal.the artist are true master's at there craft and it's very refreshing to have someone like yourself.Thank you

Ian gillan vocal range, Child in time 💚🤘🏻

Ian, one of the greats. Somehow I think you would even like my voice, then I listen to my playback (haha) 😂

You have just done one of my favorite deep purple songs so much emotion in this

I always find Deep Purple live videos amusing. It makes it seem like it's the volume you'd hear in a club. They have a reputation as one of the loudest bands ever. I remember when I was a very little kid, and my parents remember and bring it up from time to time as well, my parents went to see Deep Purple and couldn't hear anything for 3 days. I remember because I thought they were ignoring me but they legit couldn't hear me after going to that concert.

Very subdued performance from Ian Gilliam but his early years in Deep Purple....child in time especially! Need to be heard

Please react to Strange kind of woman by deep purple made in Japan. Its 9:45' of pure talent. Jaw dropping. Amazing

Goosebumps. Beautiful, legendary, sweet and matchless song. Immortal band. Lovely and beautiful vocl athlete.

When a band like this can still fill the largest arena's in the world after 50 years playing, that says a lot. It snot an accident. These guys are GREAT!!!

Can’t stop watching you 🤩🤩🤩

Yes Ian is still making great music with Deep Purple and touring frequently. He’s 70 now.

Glad your checking out Ian , he is one of the finest rock singers ever, not to say also a lovely guy. Terry in London

love then channel girl! keep it up!

The best vocal coach in the world reacts to the best singer in the world

Hello - I want to start by pointing out that sometimes my honesty in my comments is read as negative. Criticism has two sides, it's not all about complimenting. That said, I have been an Ian Gillan fan since 1969, and have followed his very varied and impressive catelogue of music ever since. I want to point out, you make some comments about lengthy instrumentals in this version of this song. Well, it is a live performance and Gillan comes from a line up of jamming instrumental bands - most namely Deep Purple. Hence long solos. The original studio version of this by DP only runs like 3:20. Have heard and seen many live versions by him of this song, and this is one of my favorites. You tried to categorize him, and he's all that you mentioned. Great bluesy singer - hard rocker - soulful - emotional - great control in his prime - and when he wants, an absolutely beautiful voice. Perhaps you are unaware he portrayed Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar. Give it a listen. And for a further adventure into his voice, I highly recommend this little piece DP did with orchestra in 1969 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtpddrtk0Ja0ias.html. To make it more impressive, this is an unrehearsed piece that Gillan had just put words to less than an hour before performance - true story. Finally, the scream. Yes, it is a scream. it is not nasely(sp?) or heady. It comes from the back of the throat - piercing, powerful. You can sing a bit operatic, but no offense, you don't scream so well. It is his trademark, and he did it for many years until age and wear and tear took its toll. No one else had "that" scream. Someone else suggested Child in Time to you by Deep Purple. Yeah go for it. But remember, they are a jam band. Even the studio version of that one has long key and guitar solos. But do listen to it from the Made in Japan live concert and be ready to be outrageously impressed. There's lots of music out there, but I do suggest that if you're the least bit impressed by Ian, that you dig further into his catelogue. Respect and happy music hunting

A lot of people in this world have deep connections to music, but I must say yours runs far deeper than most. What I love about your reactions is that mix of your emotional response with your vocal coach analysis. In this particular video you obviously reacted deeply to that guitar solo. so much so that you then broke down the difference between songs with and without long instrumental sections. It was fun to watch!

Deep purple was my first concert at 18 I've seen Ian Gillan perform blind man live I have been a huge fan of Deep purple for 20 years and to the stay I've seen so many concerts and they are still in my top five I stood up on my seat I was just the experience was incredible I tell you what in real life his vocals are so much richer and powerful and intense and I stood on my seat and I've I think you blew a kiss at me because I waved At him and even just the crowd the ambiance so many old school rockers waiting in the q or in the van smoking pot listening to psychedelic music light pink Floyd and led it was amazing it was like being in a different time

kept expecting the guitarist to go into the comfortably numb solo!

WINTERSUN - Time (live @ Sonic Pump studios) Cheers!

One of the best voices in rock & roll. He screams beautifully... As others have noted, find Child in Time - it's Efing amazing.

It would be funny to see her on stage with a band! She just pulls the plug and explains! The crowd can’t get involved or they’re instantly thrown out!! She’s got me love how she injects fun into it!!!

He's amazing and definitely underrated. You should check out child in time by deep purple

Spectacular! But I'll still go on with my lone crusade: Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla, Wacken Open Air 2016.

Ian is still out there. I have back stage passes to see him next week and hopefully get to meet him.

I have been a fan of Deep Purple for a long time! I can say up until right now I have never ever heard this song ever! To not only hear it from your channel and with you description of his singing, I just love how you explain how he sings their song! Your very gifted to have learned your craft and the way you put your spin on it! You can be interesting, cute sexy and silly all in a span of a minute! I’m not sorry to say I wish I would have met a gal like you when I was a younger me! I did have a girlfriend similar to you when I was in my twenties! She looked a bit like Nicole Kidman and we got along wonderfully but i screwed it up not being able to talk about my mom at the time who was suffering fro cancer and severe depression! I was just so crushed because my mom was such a kind hearted person and to see her suffer so much literally made me cry like A baby inside! But at the time I wasn’t able to express to anyone how down right miserable I felt watching my mommy dying right before my eyes! I could handle it now because I sought help from the v.a. And I had a counselor who had a magic touch to get through to me that to this day I remembered a lot of his free coping skills that calm me immensely! Well sorry about that, I tend to ramble on and on about god knows what! Well as usual I give you an A+ with extra credits thrown in lovely princess!!!!

Love this! Deep Purple were along with Led Zeppelin, Sabbath and Priest, the foundation for Metal, and even in many ways the future of Hard Rock. And Gillan was Purple's best singer IMO. (He had a stint with Sabbath, but I prefer Dio and even Ozzy with them) Regardless, as others have pointed out, many of the true great singers of Hard Rock and Metal's various sub genre owe a lot to Ian Gillan

Ian Gillan one of the best rock vocalists ever

You are my real true huge love rebbecca!!!!

Ian Gillan is one of my favorites, cause my roots are HeavyMetalyzed! Metal is a top challenge for a singer and you know about this because your voice has all ranges at top quality, wich is awesome. Excellent work with your reactions, comments and explanations. Greetings!

Love you. Rebecca. Hello from ARIZONA. ; )~

Yes, Rebecca , Child in time is a must. Please, react to it ! 😍

You are watching the old gillan here. You should watch the young Ian Gillan to check out who he is really. And choose the "Child in time" Song of their band Deep Purple.

Ian has been a big part of my life & he his songs (voice) has picked me up many,many times. I feel lucky to have lived in his time.

If you liked this one you should definitely check out Ian Gillan singing Child In Time and David Coverdale singing Mistreated. Mistreated might be one of my favourite songs ever and the one song that inspired me to get into singing in the first place. Love the channel! Keep up the good work! EDIT: Oh btw he's doing Deep Purple, Ian, if you care to know ^^

how the hell could you be a vocal coach and have never heard this before?

Ian singing "Highway Star" ! He is pushing boundaries of his vocals .. Good Stuff ..

Gillan...best of the best of the best of the best.... EVER !!!!!!!!

Any Deep Purple is very good. Even David Coverdale era after Ian (and before Whitesnake!)

Heyyy, believe me, watch this one: Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere), absolutely amazing, trust me. Love the videos btw

Written by Gillan, Glover and Blackmore. Steve Morris on guitar btw.

He's still out there with Deep Purple on the never ending tour. I believe they're winding down to call it quits. Sadly his voice is nothing like it was in his younger days, but it's the rare rock and roll singer that can perform at top level their entire career. Look into his early days with Deep Purple, from 1970-1973, for some truly epic vox performances, particularly on 'Made in Japan'. He will blow your mind.

Ian Gillan an extraordinary voice

React to "Child in time" by deep purple, it's the same singer

If you want to hear Ian at his best child in time from 1972 will blow you away

I saw Deep Purple In 2014 and unfortunately Mr. Gillan’s voice was shot after years of pushing it to its limits. It was still an honor to see him and I thank him for all of the great music.
