His voice retired decades ago, imo I must say I been playing Deep Purple's new CD in the car and its truely awesome. Ian's voice is spot on. And the material is classic Purple. Definitely worth a listen. |

Just as an aside, I saw a Deep Purple gig on BBC 4 the other week. It was fairly modern (2022 or so? not sure) and I've always liked them so I gave it a watch. I thought they were grim and absolutely butchered Lazy, one of my all time favourite songs of theirs. The guitarist (is it still Steve Morse?) really didn't have Ritchie's craft and touch and played the solo like any other bog standard rock track. Ian Gillan's vocals were seriously dodgy but Glover, Paice and the keyboard player (is it Don Airey?) still cut it though. I was, as they say, quite disappointed. Last album I bought of theirs was Infinite and I wasn't mad on it. Maybe I've just moved on but Machine Head is still one of the greatest albums ever made. Just putting me oar in  |

I think Ian some time back carefully took the decision not to include those impossibly high notes.
Yes I gather it's still Don Airey, he's good.

Deep Purple's 2020 Whoosh was marvellous! Also liked 2013's Now What, but for some reason gave Infinite (2017) a miss. Still sitting on the fence for buying =1.
In a recent review of a festival gig in Belgium the journalist said it was high time for Gillan to retire, although the rest of the band were as brilliant as ever.

It's not Steve Morse, it's Simon McBride and it is Don Airey. And, hair-splitting aside, the new album IS brilliant 🤘
