Ian could easily sing BS songs when his voice wasn't shot. Of curse they aren't his songs so there is always a strong argument that the originals are better. But can you imagine Ozzy trying to sing Child in Time, Speed King, Blood sucker, Highway star, etc... He just doesnt have the skill to do it. It would sound horrible.
I wish that in this song they could say it better when they say "I wish you to enjoy life, I wish i could but, its too late" cuz back in the day people thought he said "I wish you to end your life I wish i could but, it's too late"
Gillan is good but I think (IMO) he doesn't exactly fit this rock format....ozzy is a rough & dirty singer however he's the trade mark of this heavy genre....what they both have in common is the bottle for sure....
it sounds to robotic and mono tone. This period with Gillan had to be the lowest point for the band. feel sorry for Tony who tried his best to keep the band going after losing, butler, ward and ozzy.
opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. every singer Sabbath had was top notch Tony would never settle for less, the ones that weren't never came out on an album.
@TheRokunana You stated that Gillan sucked as Black Sabbath's lead singer. That's why I made the "suck a cucumber" comment. Anyway...I disagree with your opinion. Ian Gillan sounds great with ANY band that he plays with. Just listen to the "The Japanese Album", "Cherkazoo and other stories", "Rock Profile". This are albums that Gillan is singing in ways that you can't even imagine.
@Mahetae Your insult is still funny. Anyways I never said Ian Gillan sucks I just don't like him as a Black Sabbath singer. The only song he made under Black Sabbath that's any good is Disturbing the Priest.
@TheRokunana What you are stating is your own personal opinion. I beg to differ (my opinion). The whole "Born Again" album is awesome. Usually, the original singer of a band is more suited for that band, and the replacements are "not the same". Black Sabbath for me are the 4 original members, even though I think that Dio, Gillan, Hughes, Gillen,even Martin are "better" singers. I guess in a way we agree. Reading your comment again, I got pissed at the "sucks" comment. Thanks for clarifying.
@Mahetae I like Ozzy but I prefer Dio and Tony Martin too. If Tony or Dio never joined then classics like Heaven and Hell and Headless Cross would have never been created. Ian Gillan sounds better on his own songs but I personally don't like the way he sings other Sabbath songs. But that's all my own opinion and I'll respect yours.
@TheRokunana And I respect your opinion. I'm glad that you took this whole "cucumber thing" lightly and found it funny!!! This is "YouTube", and things sometimes do get out of hand. It's been a pleasure....and above all: ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!!!!!
@Virginto11 How can you say this after listening to Gillan and this song version? there's an abyss between Gillan and Ozzy....I even saw an Ozzy concert and He is the worst singer I ever heard live....
Well Ian Gillan is great singer, but he fit to Black Sabbath. This performance shows that. Enoug Deep Purple in Black Sabbath at the times of "Born Again" album to make it a masterpiece...he destroy Ozzy in one second...
Well Ian Gillan is great singer, but he didn't fit to Black Sabbath. This performance shows that. Too much Deep Purple in Black Sabbath at the times of "Born Again" album.
@Thorgal20 Well Ian Gillan is great singer, but he fit to Black Sabbath. This performance shows that. Enoug Deep Purple in Black Sabbath at the times of "Born Again" album to make it a masterpiece...he destroy Ozzy in one second...
@Thorgal20 this is obvious but just listen to this music and enjoy it...this is faboulus and anyway ,Purple or not, even better than original version...Gillan's screams and interpretations were just Insane!

Ian Gillan was an honest guy while in the BS.
He gave his best and his voice.
Did not impose himself with his great voice and never tried to steal the throne of Ozzy.
He was only one of the best rock singers in the world that passed through the BS.
