Quantum thinking
Canadian blog Music Legends did a rather lengthy interview with Ian Gillan, which started with a couple (by now) mundane questions about WhoCares but quickly veered pretty far off the beaten track. Big Ian got to talk about things ranging from record remasters, to the state of the music business, to the future of the space age and computers.
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the info.

December 2nd, 2012 at 12:51YOU produced it…YOU name it!
That doesn’t sound very encouraging does it. Not to mention the band not being involved in the track listing. Although his comments at the end were a little positive regarding the new stuff.
Very good interview, just would like to ask him about the future of purple if there is one.
December 2nd, 2012 at 12:55Man alive, I haven’t listened to this, but “future?” Do a little friggen math, it’s not rocket science. More toruing, album release, more touring…. over and out. A few years tops, what’s to ask?
December 3rd, 2012 at 11:08@2 the future is whatever the future holds for them dude,heath wise,it is amazing that these guys are pushing their late 60 s and still going out there and touring and making music.How many of their pairs you have out there ? Let’s just be grateful they re still around and enjoy every moment with them.Cannot wait for the new album !Gillan is great musician and very bright smart person and I enjoy his interviews all the time.
December 3rd, 2012 at 17:45whats with Gillan and his obsession with age on Purples concerts, apparently 90% of Purples audience are around 15 years old, could that be right? When I see photos from behind the scenes and VIP partys many of the fans are well up in their 40-50:s and thats ok with me, we are the ones who were there the first time around, in the early 70:s and its great, but why try to hide it?

Yesterday I ve got in contct with a 16 year old Dutchie that said he is a huge fan of the band.
So, maybe………..
It is gain remarkable ofcourse.
Then again : he feels the nowadays band and their music is crap and that he preferres the old days.
It is likewhat someone here wrote a long time ago when hearing Rapture Of the Deep together with his son :
His son had already developed s trong sense of ” this is bullshit” compared to the classic era.
