It's a minor-ish point but Ian isn't and never was a heavy metal vocalist, rather he's a rock vocalist (possibly even a heavy rock one). Of this fact I am certain. I did change this but it got changed back. I thought I'd mention it here as tit for tat editing is pointless.

[edit] Cleanup
added the tag simply as a reminder to myself to come back and fix this one up a little, add a little more detail and find some citations(right now there's only 1). Anger22 13:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Band Members
In para 5, the article states: "Tony Iomi, Jeff Healey, Joe Satriani, as well as Jon Lord, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Steve Morse (all of whom are either current or former members of Deep Purple) are featured on this CD and DVD". I don't think that Tony Iomi or Jeff Healey were ever in Deep Purple. Their respective Wikipedia pages makes no mention. Nor are they listed on the Deep Purple page. 84.130.103.231 13:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- It is a badly worded sentence, agreed - it is referring to those artists mentioned after the phrase "...as well as..." Well spotted, and I will alter the article to more accurately inform the reader. Devious Viper 09:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vocal range
I think he has lost most of his vocal range. Watch this
Rather irrelevant, and no, he hasn't. He can still get down to E2, and he's gone as high as A5 in recent times. At most he's lost a quarter of an octave on the upper end.
[edit] Opinionated
Who exactly considers Ian Gillan to be one of the 'foremost' rock vocalists. Also, where is the evidence of him introducing the vocal belting technique to music? It's also an opinion that he was able to move from one range to another 'effortlessly' with 'fluid' movement.
I have had a section describing his stage mannerisms and other activities, in which I have referred to a concert I was at, and many live DVDs, which are commercially available - deleted twice.
Consistency is required from whoever keeps editing this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomGreen (talk) 15:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Blue Dragon
Should a note that Ian did the track Eternity for Blue Dragon on the XBOX 360 be added to the discography? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.36.208.93 (talk) 07:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
