Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I Dunno.. But I expected more. It somehow just doesn’t cut…This looks more like some leftover stuff. There is no magic in it. And the musicians look like they are going thru the motions. No real feel to this..sorry…
May 5th, 2011 at 02:13Black Sabbath meets “Soon Forgotten” was my first impression.
May 5th, 2011 at 02:56Great performance – great video – great song …
with Dr.Jon …
I want more …

May 5th, 2011 at 05:15great names, but bad song. a typical tony iommi track. there is lord, mcbrain and gillan. but they can’t show their talents with this track. this is a song that iommi would better recort with his eternal idol friends.
May 5th, 2011 at 06:25Superb !!!
May 5th, 2011 at 07:22Brilliant! IMHO leaves far behind all DP efforts starting with Abandon, all Heaven & Hell stuff, let alone cheesy americanish Whitesnake latest releases….Ian is signing finally, Iommi’s riff is a hook for the whole song. Energetic, laconic and touching. Well done
May 5th, 2011 at 07:58Nice one!
May 5th, 2011 at 08:37Great.
Ian is trembling a bit in the end.
May 5th, 2011 at 09:43Is he trying to emulate an earthquake or is it something else? : )
Its very good song. They would force Gillan to sing a little bit harder and scream as modern technology would help them. It remais me a little bit of Purple soon forgotten meets Black Sabbath.
May 5th, 2011 at 10:08To have a real classic the song could have a better arrangement as the best riff is beeing played as a final solo. The very “ozzy” slow moment would have better use and also killer hammond solo from Mr. Lord would be welcomed.
Hovewer Iommi still managed to pull off great solo, even if it remains me one of his solos from circa headless cross period.
Nevertheless its still the best song that Iommi crafted in a long time. Better than anything on last Heaven and Hell album.
Thank you for posting this video so quickly!
May 5th, 2011 at 10:20Love the candid studio shot considering all the players.
Nice!

May 5th, 2011 at 11:17RECORD
AN
ALBUM!!!
I hope Ian will bring this kind of real ROCK with him to Deep Purples next CD. He could also bring Jon & Tony 🙂
May 5th, 2011 at 11:19Great tune! Gillan should work with Iommi again – he has the tune for his current voice.
May 5th, 2011 at 19:02great song.
May 5th, 2011 at 19:02please give us ‘holy water’ too!
anyway this song just lack of two things:
1. Jon Lord solo
May 5th, 2011 at 19:152. Ian Gillan raw scream!
the song lacked a good voice
Ian looks and sounds like an old man compared to everyone else in this video
the only thing that really sounded good was tony
May 6th, 2011 at 00:01So good. Nicely done.
May 6th, 2011 at 01:20Re: #15 Al, it IS a great song…very Purpendicular-sounding.
Re: #16 Very perceptive, Roberto. I was waiting for a Hammond solo, too.
Even so, I thought it was a great song. Whether or not it is someone’s left-over makes no difference to me, neither does it matter that it seems to have come with little effort. When dealing with the kind of talent and experience in that room, it doesn’t take much to throw together a little magic (then again–who is to say it was that easy). It still shows the youngsters how it’s done, and anything that sounds like it could come from Purpendicular is a classic in my book.
May 6th, 2011 at 02:13Trashed…… need awhole album to showcase these aging superstars. Riffs, solos, Gillan personal scream, Lord solo, just can’t get the vibe through one song. (Hopefully ) more to come. Fart…..POOF!!!!!
May 6th, 2011 at 02:38I agree T.

The best song I’ve heard in a long time!
May 6th, 2011 at 03:58Holy Water, less Iommi and no Lord but more keys in the mix, more like Gillan’s last solo album work but heavy rock style song. A bit better than this, and I didn’t get into this at first but I have to admit the SF melody works much better for me this way. This also grows… nice way to salvage one of the more annoying things to me about SF, a song I only like for Jon’s work, nothing else. I also think Purple record too many songs of the SF approach to hard rock. It’s become like their signature way of structuring most of the songs, mid-tempo safety zone. It works here though, good enough… crank it up!
May 6th, 2011 at 04:48The uploader has not made this video available in my country! UK obviously not that important then…
May 6th, 2011 at 07:05Why the Poles can’t hear or see a thing? The transmiting program didn’t render the film accessible to us. Is it fair?
May 6th, 2011 at 08:28Anyway, I’m curious to hear Holy Water too cause I see it’s a track written by Gillan/Morris and played by the One eye to Morocco line up with Iommi guesting, no Lord or McBrain there.
May 6th, 2011 at 10:51Unfortunately, I feel the singing is missing the mark. Ian does not sound 1) into it and 2) like he put much effort into coming up with a good melody. This would certainly be a forgettable track on any DP release.
Whoever said that this is the best thing Ian has done since before Abandon is smoking something. There are many post-Abandon DP tracks that blow this out of the water.
May 6th, 2011 at 11:08Video – not available in Germany
May 6th, 2011 at 15:11youtube does not allow to us in Italy to listen it!
May 6th, 2011 at 15:16why?
Can’t upload this in UK. Help!
May 6th, 2011 at 16:38The video doesn’t seem to work. It say’s the uploader has not made the video available for my country (Norway). Some copyright issues?
May 6th, 2011 at 16:45Too bad. I was really looking forward to this. What I have heard so far on the sample sounds great.
Another link!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mN1JiE2TG8
May 6th, 2011 at 17:37Great song for Armenia! Tony Iommi sounds like the great hero he is! Fabulous to see all these legendary guys together.
May 6th, 2011 at 17:58I’ve got it !!
I received the pre-ordered cd/clip documentary TODAY !
For me it’s SUPERB !!!!
Cheers to you all !!
Just have to find out how to play the 2 songs on my
May 6th, 2011 at 18:53computer (can’t yet find the right way to do it, CAN play the clip and documentary) and how to rip it to my harddisk …..
my impression about this song “has been soon forgotten”…so now give us “a cup of holy water”…
May 6th, 2011 at 19:09Gillan´s Inn – trashed (ft. iommi, glover & paice)More off thiss :))
May 6th, 2011 at 22:06Just heard the full song and loved it!!!
May 6th, 2011 at 22:23A nice hard edge and catchy riff a really hope the new dp album has an edge like this.
Obviously the intro sounds Metallica.
May 7th, 2011 at 01:01Now it’s working for Germany.
Great Song, great line-up.
the heavy guitar of Iommi and the heavy Hammond riffs by Jon Lord work perfectly together. I always thought that it would be great to mix Iommi with a heavy organ. They should do a project together. A symbiose of “Mater Of Reality” and “Deep Purple In Rock”.
And yes I miss a little organ-solo in the song also.
Fine singing by Ian.
May 7th, 2011 at 08:47Great Rhythm Section.
I heard that its label EDEL will not produce this single in europe except for germany. The reason seems to be that it does not like to spend money just for a single ( 2 songs and a video).
May 7th, 2011 at 12:03I fear that to buy it here in italy will be not easy, easier to prenote it as import.
today the video works.
May 7th, 2011 at 12:04ciao
Jim @28, Amen to that. Out of the water and far away….
Peace,
Ted
May 7th, 2011 at 13:47I think what should be talked about right now is the fact that Deep Purple played without Roger last night in Italy. Apparently someone stood in for him while his babay was born. This is news as far as I’m concerned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM_h1TMUW8o
May 7th, 2011 at 19:49Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!! Gillan’s voice is superb — love the lyrics! Seeing Jon behind the keyboards again was like going home. Has Iommi aged the las 30-years?????? Awesome song!!!
May 8th, 2011 at 06:031. Reminds me of Soon Forgoten from Purpendicular album… But, comparing this two songs, Out Of My Mind is so pale and fake…
2. sound mix is modern and reach, but not helps much hiding lame rif idea (better luck next time stealing ideas Mr Tony Iommi) 😉
3. altough have a great video production which I like most from what we saw in this “presentation”
* hint for “video guys” do not use white background anymore…
p.s.
May 8th, 2011 at 07:35I just saw that from #2 post, I’m not alone in statement no1.
*reach = rich
May 8th, 2011 at 07:44Superb !!!Iomms guitar and the heavy Hammond by Jon Lord work perfectly together.
May 8th, 2011 at 13:03RECORD AN ALBUM!!! Iommi is the best guitar player at all time
Larry you are right, and after listen to video from YouTube I must add “I MISS JON LORDs SOUND”. Don is great – but it’s only Jon who can produce the real Hammon sound for Purple – just like Ritchie is THE sound of Purple on guitar.
May 8th, 2011 at 13:31What happens when you get a group of aged veteran rockers together to record a song for charity? Great things. Solid song all the way through and refreshing to see Ian Gillan and Tomy Iommi together again. I would welcome an album and a tour!!!
May 8th, 2011 at 14:22Gillan still has it. Like in DP’s last 2 studio albums, he aged gracefully and his voice getting deeper and darker could make him a heavy crooner. On stage, on the other hand, he’s not as brilliant, since he continues to sing the same songs over and over. Time to play more new songs, including that new one with Iommi.
May 8th, 2011 at 17:13@44 it is not Italy…it is a Greece’s island…
May 8th, 2011 at 20:55@44: this is actually from Heraklion,Greece. The bassist that stood in for Roger is Nick Fyffe of Jamiroquai fame – he’s also played with the guys sometime at Sunflower Jam. It was reported that Roger won’t be joining them in Cyprus as well, but will possibly return for the rest of the dates, when his wife will have given birth to their baby.
May 8th, 2011 at 21:53GREAT! BUT I STILL KIND OF MISS THAT HIGH NOTE FROM GILLAN…!
May 9th, 2011 at 01:44Aint heard this yet but to say that it is better than anything that Heaven and Hell did on their last album and everything that Deep Purple has done since Abandon seems like a hard stretch. I am looking forward to finally hearing Dr. Lord finally playing for Black Sabbath because lets call it what it is BLACK SABBATH finally reunites. ITS ABOUT TIME.
May 9th, 2011 at 04:53You can recognize Tony Iommi without reading the credits! Jon Lord great as well. As for the vocalist, he seems to lack dynamism. But I like this song very much. I’ve ordered the single!
May 9th, 2011 at 10:49IG does sound good in this but he would do given that it’s a studio recording and he’s not out of breath from running onto stage, he’s probably sober and he’s probably reading the lyrics from a prompt sheet (glasses) and it’s at a very safe tempo as Larry pointed out. Not that I’m knocking it, I like it. I liked it immediately – which is actually a problem. It’ll wear thin very quickly. Not that it matters that much – it is after all a charity single by rock luminaries which is intended to sell millions globally and raise money for a cause. An album of this material? No thank you… Gillan and Iommi together for a proper album? Now that’s another matter…
May 9th, 2011 at 14:16Search you Tube for holy water its there. Atmosferic intro leads to rather uninspairing verse and great horus as only gillan can do to much guitar In the mix cery good but Lost opprtunity for Classic if gillan worked more on verses
May 9th, 2011 at 19:17I’ve listened. It sounds great. Biz is right: I’d like them to record an album!
May 10th, 2011 at 08:53HOLY WATER posted online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQYjEa3FdUo
maybe better than Out of My Mind? Gillan sounds simply amazing on the second one!
May 10th, 2011 at 10:00Please let me say two words: Absolutely brilliant !!
May 10th, 2011 at 10:38Larry@44, or anyone else,
It’s killing me not knowing who sat in for Roger and beyond surprised that the band did not issue a statement.
Can anyone solve the mystery?
Peace,
Ted

May 11th, 2011 at 19:08“Roger’s absence is apparently due to family reasons”:
http://www.deep-purple.net/mk7news/mk8-news.htm
May 11th, 2011 at 19:14@63
??????
May 11th, 2011 at 19:33Fine track. Well done guys.
@63 wasn’t Glenn funky enough? Would have been a real treat for fans.
May 12th, 2011 at 07:07Holy Water is good too.
Was it co-written by MORSE or MORRIS? (I suspect the former)
I have ordered the vinyl (a bit pricey for a 7″, but hey – shipping is included). Good to see a choice of physical formats for DP related releases these days.
May 12th, 2011 at 07:23@ 66
What do you not get?
And why are people so upset?
Even if Roger left, the band would still be the Roundabout once set up.
May 13th, 2011 at 20:42I like the dimagg1973 posted video the same footage better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONi67GTZG6Y&feature=youtube_gdata
Its the same video but Ian sounds better on it or is it my hearing off?
May 18th, 2011 at 07:01Maybe they could give the gig to ‘Lemmy’ – That would be worth seeing!
May 18th, 2011 at 07:33@69
Exactly! Why should anyone get upset?
Thats the same reaction I had when RB left!
May 18th, 2011 at 15:14Always thought Roger was one of the main composers in early DP.
But after the last demise of MK 2 , mind you now 18 years ago, did dissappoint in the area of compositional strenght.
Possibilities :
1. Roger lost it over the years.
2.He did not bother anymore.
3. Maybe his role durinmg MK 2 was exaggerated.
If his strenght was in the field of production why then did they take an other man for the job?
Gillan, without Blackmore or Towns/McCoy seems to run dry as well.
Once I thought Morris was our hope when he chose to another solo album.
But Dreamcatcher and One Eye To Morrocco were not exactly succes(…)full.
Don Airey on tour drew about 70 in attendance last time overhere.
How much did he write over the years?
Paicey thinks Ritchie is wasting his time.
Well, guess what, he himself as well!!!!
A big waste.
One of the most talented and authentic drummers in rock.
How much does he get into RECORDING his great gift?
Is he satisfied with what he already did?
May 19th, 2011 at 19:13@73: “If his strenght was in the field of production why then did they take an other man for the job?”
Because Roger didn’t want to produce another album.
May 19th, 2011 at 19:29@ 74
Why?
May 20th, 2011 at 00:00@73
Paicey wasting his time? Blackmore wasting his time?
Question is Priest – are you wasting you time?
May 20th, 2011 at 07:35@ 76
Can you stay with the topic, please?
May 24th, 2011 at 19:13Or are you obsessed with being an ass towards me?
The track “Holy Water” has appeared on you tube!
May 25th, 2011 at 08:32Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BIZQeQfgw0
@77 I have no obsessions what so ever
Back on topic – right. So what happened to @69? Were YOU on topic then? Practice what you preach boy!
Great tracks – Now get an album done Gillan & Iommi (on topic)
