Ian Gillan - Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)
Loading...
Uploaded by paulodomic on Dec 24, 2008
Original version of this all time musical classic. Deep Purple's Ian Gillan played the role of Jesus and his interpretation of this immortal cut defined all the upcoming ones. When this work was recorded, Deep Purple weas on the top of the musical world, so Ian was unable to join the plays in Broadway, nor film the 1973 movie. Ted Neeley replaced him, he did awesome and was the known face of this Jesus, but that was his only achievement. Ian Gillan is part of rock history and his name is written with golden letters on the bible of rock.

Speechless... Gillan gives glory to the fact that we're created, not evolved!

I don't have this album! And I should! :3

Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my all time favorite albums, of all time. The tears flow when I listen to Ian Gillan singing "I only want to say" he is superb. I saw the play in 2004 in Orange County with Ted Neely and he was awesome, and so nice I got to take pictures with him and his son. I am always spiritually moved when I listen to this album, poor Jesus how he suffered. Thank you Jesus! Love you!

The singer from cult of Personality plated Judas and he out sung Neely 10 X over!

the Broadway cut of every song of this album is by far superior to Ted Neely's. I saw him do it in 2006 and my wife and I got dirty looks as we laughed uncontrollably by the awful performance he did the entire play. His voice left him 20 years ago! the only thing that saved the play at all was Judas Every song sung in the album excels over the movie version. Ian Gillian rocks so much more. I've seen him in concert numerous times and I think he is one of the most under-rated voices.

@BillyBocksfuss I think most people think that Neely's version is better beacuse they watched the movie and grow up with that version...but I think this one is better...if Gillan hadn't refused the role and Neely had sang the soundtrack before Ian, people surely would have said that Gillan's version was the best...Gillan is the "real" Jesus, no one else...

when watching the play, Neely is better at this song. When listening to the soundtrack, Ian Gillian is better.
