      @Oscar Rimmer Sheik Yerbouti - actually 1979 - I was seven. But, at four the album Roxy & Elsewhere is why my folks hid them. So I did the math and I was seven when I found the Zappa albums in the shed out back...Sheik Yerbouti was one of them. FAV TRACK: 'BROKEN HEARTS ARE FOR ASSHOLES' My fav album. There's my lil story. Actually, when he died my mom took a Polaroid of me holding that album up, & made a note on the album...1979 technology.. 🥸

    Gillan had an advantage, he was the first and he used this advantage in full - he created the perfect version. All subsequent performers are doomed to copy his finds and improvisations, because if something is removed, then they are not professional enough, and if they add something, they will be in excess.
    But what is one aria compared to the whole rock opera - he is gentle, then furious, then naive, then wise - an amazing singer.

      Actually in singing, passion is the enemy of high notes. The key is to look and sound passionate. But if you feel that passion the note will go SPLAT all over the place. Just look at everyone in Lindsay Ellis' video who has veins in their necks. If your neck is tense, there's NO way that note is coming out. But plenty have tried to force it. Nils Isberg hit the nail on the head, this is almost a whistle tone. No idea how he's making it. But it sure is amazing.

  • @bicj1179
    @bicj1179 Před 3 lety +654

    During the famous 'whyyyyyyy' high note of the song, Gillan's voice seems to surpass straightforward note reaching and actually becomes like a child's cry, in that way that when a baby or child is so emotional, their cries overwhelm them and their voice, even if it gives them a temporary sore throat, surpasses a healthy vocal expression. That's why I think Gillan's interpretation will always be the greatest, he seemed to stretch his voice to the great beyond and elicit the emotion of someone overwhelmed by the dread of what they are led to believe they must do.
    He also does an incredible job of the section with the lyrics 'Right, I'll die, just watch me die, see how I die' - he manages to balance anger, pride and pleading all in one as he consigns himself to his fate from God. You can hear his fear turn to anger and resoluteness, then pride and almost vengefulness as he tells god he'll face death, but that God better be prepared to watch his son die. A fantastic job of expressing Jesus's grappling of the human confines and trying to face with courage the ultimate sacrifice, of one's life for a cause.

      The Magnificent interpretation of Ian Gillan's portrayal of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane was Extremely well-articulated. Thank you. In addition I think it's interesting to note that in the biblical account of Gethsemane, this Christ was in such a mental turmoil and an emotional self struggle pushing himself he collapsed to the ground actually causing droplets of blood in his sweat. This agonizing intensity and anguish continued to increase to the point where he fully collapsed prostrate immovable upon the dirt. This struggle was so intense God his father had to dispatcha Holy Angel to strengthen him to continue the process. The rest is history.

      An atheists has no objective morality, and it's bssed on no more thsn just opinion - man made nonsense that changes with time and place. It's the belief in nothing and meaningless and has been trumped up as the 'scientific' reasoned belief despite surveys consistently showing that a majority of scientists actually believe in a creator. The original early scientists were also trying to uncover the mystery of God's creation, not dispute it. But the finance controlled education system and media has pushed it as the humanistic belief, when it's basically a moralityless free for all.

Gillan's voice sounded so pure in my tender years. In my book nobody could top him, especially those who came after him in the 90s and 00s. He was the voice of Jesus, my personal superstar and savior. I always listen to that album every Easter.

      The big question is divinity. Was he divine ? Personally I doubt it. Undoubtedly Jesus had his fans, but just because people say things like Eric Clapton is God, it doesn't mean that three days after his future death, Eric Clapton will appear to his bereft fans in a locked room.

    Absolutely magnificent. Before, i thought that Ian never sang "i only want to say" alive. All other versions are far away from Ian's original. Ian is phrasing, his voice is bright, he hits the stratosphere (all cover versions do not hit the high notes). The tembre of Ian goes straight into the soul. Outstanding. Jesus would love it, no doubt. When You listen to Ian, You feel it all deeply, in the begining of the song he translates the super emotion with first high notes, than all the way he hold your feeling of heart, and You know that it is the trueth. No other cover version of anybody, translates this feeling of trueth and the real emotions and mood of this epic. Ian Gillan is above than number 1. Totally mind blowing. Lets wish Ian golden health and work on never stop.
