Voice of Splendour - IAN GILLAN - Gethsemane.

I believe Ian Gillan to be the finest voice to ever come out of the 20th century. His vocal range is phenomenal, and I believe it was a full octave over and above anything Freddy Mercury had to offer.

I do not consider this song to be a Christian song at all. The lyrics are Biblically unsound, nonetheless, I have my reasons for uploading it to my channel. It is, after all, a masterpiece of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Sorry mate, I love Deep Purple and Ian Gillan is without a doubt one of the greatest singers of the 20th century but there's absolutely no way that he's above Freddie Mercury, Freddy had a wider vocal range than Gillan, and he was more diverse, he could sing Opera, Blues, Rock and Roll, Jazz and Metal. I admit that Gillan is one of the greatest singers of all time(in my taste he'd be third after Mercury and Dickinson) but he's still missing a little to reach Freddie's talent and voice range

@javiventa666 Thank you for your comment.

I am sure many would agree with you. Freddy had a monumentally fantamabulous voice. Others who have commented on htis thread would say Robert Plant, however, we Gillan fans will always be true to the one we know had the best voice of them all., (*_*)

I love Ian Gillan and have been a DP fan since the early 70s, but if you want to see a truly awesome performance of this song check out Steve Balsamo. There are several of his performances of Gethsemane here on YouTube, but the best one by far is the 2004 performance from the Ahoy festival in Holland. Check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

@gotham61 Yep, seen it and watched it many times. (*_*) It's very different to Ian's version, nonetheless it is still very much based on what Ian Gillan started with this song. This song is, without a doubt, Ian Gillans baby. Here's a video you will thoroughly enjoy, if you like Balsamo's version - watch?v=dt-CX3k0PYw

Christ never denied the Old Testament, or his Jewish roots. But we all have to recognise that poetic license is Man's way to express the unexpressable, and the God (Yahway) that I worship understands the human condition and knows that questioning is thew path to wisdom. Yes Jesus with all he knew had questions.

@tes1637 I would doubt that the Lord Jesus Christ had any questions regarding the redemption of His people. It was all planned in detail before the foundation of the world.

Thank you for your comment.

@sm1135ster1 Scripture has spoken and you have been found wanting. Deal with it, Chump!
