That’s frenetic!

A probably final (at least, for a while) instalment in the restored classic Gillan video series. Behold the infamously frenetic version of the rock’n’roll classic Lucille:

    Finally, the last one. I am going to attempt to find a ‘no Gillan app’ to install on my computer. Only because of the (at least, for a while) line above. At least if successful in my endeavours the computer will just block anything to do with Gillan and I will not have to worry about any possible ‘feedback’ from anyone, not that anyone here should mind, surely. No more Gillan, no more Gillan, etc etc, I can hear the mantra already echoing across the universe and even beyond. Cheers.

    I have just had a thought. With all the AI wonderful treatment of everything and anything these days, couldn’t they have all the Ian Gillan related songs, including DP with the singing being performed by Elvis. And vice versa. The possibilities are endless it seems. Cheers.

    It’s fun to listen to once or twice, Colin’s solo is exquisite and the band plays with impressive precision at that frantic pace.

    Other than that it’s pretty much terrible and especially misses the playful lewdness and humor of the original.

    There is a fine line between playing something fast and sounding hilarious doing it. Speeding things up no end doesn’t necessarily make them harder or heavier.

    Way too fast:

    Proper speed:

    And sometimes it works the other way around, even with Little Richard numbers, like it does here with Cactus giving Long Tall Sally a slo-mo treatment until that blissful release at 09:24 where they shuffle into a faster tempo:
