Steve Rothery is one of the best guitarists in the world!. There are not many players who make the guitar sing with emotion. Just listen to his guitar solos on any of Marillions songs.
The first band I ever got into was Marillion. I was obsessed for decades. Just after that it was also Pink Floyd. (Hi Dave.) All this time I was having guitar lessons. While this music is clearly wonderful, have you _any_ idea how crippling it is to be constantly confronting perfection while trying to learn a skill for yourself? Without even realizing that what you are listening to is the very best there is? Sure; we all sort-of think that we listen to the best stuff out there; that's why we listen, right? But I thank all of you who comment about just how good Steve is. Because it makes me feel slightly less bad about being so $#!@. ;)
Great to see Steve Rothery getting some love, I met him in a pub where he'd gone to play for Fish as a favour to Fish's friend who owned the pub. the strangest gig I've ever been to, the pub didn't even have a stage, it was just a pub. My friends and I chatted with them for a long time and they were just nice guys who enjoyed a laugh. This was quite a long time after Fish had left Marillion, so it was nice to see they were still friends.
Steve Rothery my second favorite guitar player playing for my favorite #1 band ever. Very underrated prog rock band and very underrated guitar player. Everybody talk about Eddy Van Halen, Steve Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, etc who were fantastic guitar players don't take my words wrong but nobody talks about Steve Rothery (Marillion), Andy Latimer (Camel), Knopfler (Dire Straits) and couple of more who are very underrated.
Glad to hear someone acknowledge Andy Latimer of Camel. I don't hear his name mentioned very often. As for Steve Rothery, he's an absolute genius. Marillion's Clutching At Straws might be my favorite album if I was forced to choose just one. Steve's guitar playing was over the top on that one. As for his influences, I think I sometimes hear a little Mike Oldfield in his playing as well.
Glad you looked at Steve's work. He is so underappreciated. His playing has grown so much over the years from providing instrumental support for Fish in Marillion to being the emotional centre of the newer Marillion and with his own band. Yes he can play hard and fast but why when you can play this well and have so much impact. If you listen to Gaza, yes H provides a lot of the feeling but it is the guitar playing which makes the most impact.
Another big influence of Steve Rothery, besides Steve Hackett and David Gilmour, is Andy Latimer of the band Camel. Check him out if your not familiar with Camel. Great great band and Andy is fantastic guitarist.
Class acts, both Steve Rothery and Fil. Another excellent video per usual. Really glad to have found his channel. Thoroughly enjoy his commentary, and the fact that you can tell he enjoys making it. Rock on Fil! Stay genuine.
I've seen Steve play with both Marillion and The Steve Rothery Band on numerous occasions and have been lucky to have chatted with him on quite a few occasions. He's one of the nicest guys in rock music and will always make time for you. Just a quick shout out to the rest of the SRB too. They're Dave Foster on guitar, Leon Parr on drums, Yatim Halimi on bass and Riccardo Romano on keyboards (as well as vocalist Martin Jakubski for when they do the early Marillion tracks). All 5 of them are amazingly talented musicians and all are great, down to earth guys too.
My favorite guitarist of all time. It's nice to see someone appreciate the emotion Steve puts into his playing. You don't need flash over substance. Thank you for this video.
My type of guitar player with the likes of Steve Hackett, Steve Howe, Andy Latimer, Malcolm Jones and on the blues side Snowy White, they all have a wonderful touch and technique along with lovely melodies
Nice Fil...never heard of this guy but i like it thanks for the intro.....got to agree with you about melody after playing 42 years theres nothing harder for me than playing a ballad and not throwing in too many notes
Mr. Rothery is a Prog Rock wizard having no desire to show off, very emotional playing with the control to take the listener down the atmospheric rabbit hole.
For me Steve has been one of the most outstanding guitarists of the last 35+ years. If anybody loves this style then they need to check out Marillion were virtually every track has been beautifully crafted; and they’ve a massive catalogue of music :)
Wings of Pegasus - Thanks Fil for your excellent appraisal of one of the most underrated guitarists around. For me the melody & feel of Steve’s work is amazing. Your enthusiasm really comes across & you’re always so upbeat :) There are a couple of videos that highlight Steve’s solos across a wide selection of Marillion tracks for those that aren’t familiar with his work: 1) th-cam.com/video/ZadsZq82cZA/w-d-xo.html 2) th-cam.com/video/h-YqU0g9xG0/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Ian :)
Floating to paradise on a cloud. Love hearing players I've never heard especially this talented. Wonderful tone and they are so together as a group. Analysis on the money! 🎯
This it's like watching a movie, and a good movie such as this has without a doubt a beginning, a middle, and an ending. Without singing a note the instruments have sung the whole story♡
Glad I found someone who can appreciate Steve Rothery's mastery. The instrument sings in his hands. I would like to see you do a reaction to "Easter". The solo in that song by Marillion is one of the best ever, in my opinion.
I had not heard or heard of Steve Rothery, but I loved this piece. You really do get drawn in gradually to the slow, quiet fluid melodies. I never knew til your analyses about volume fading in to achieve the dreamlike style of the beginning. Learning to relax and enjoy the journey! Thanks again!
This was one of the best examples of the difference between a player and a musician. Playing what was needed for the song and likewise, when not to play. I don't even play guitar as I'm a country/blues harmonica player ( which can be the most hated instrument...lol) and one thing I have learned is, play with feeling and know when to shut up! Great analysis Fil! Rock!
I totally understand what you mean. Spending a great deal of time trying to play a run with a million notes about 20 million miles an hour is a waste. Expression is very important. I think it says a lot about the player. I can tell Steve chooses carefully his notes and does a world more with just enough expression to makes his melodic point across.
I've been enjoying Steve's work for a year or so and only just found out he was with Marillion ! ( who I still have a couple of vinyl albums of) and he is certainly in the same vein as Steve Hackett re. "breathing space" and not overshadowing the other musicians. Thank you Spotify !
Rothery is probably one of the - if not *the* - most under-appreciated guitar players alive. Unfortunately, we live in a time where louder harder faster is the measure for all things, and Steve goes just the opposite direction: putting a lot of feeling into every single note, and yet he has such a great variety of modes of expression. I'm just amazed again and again by what this man does.
Thanks fil for taking up the suggestion to feature Mr rothery reading the comments stuns me how many people. Never heard of him Implore you all to listen to more of Steve and Marillions music don't think kayleigh is there only hit. If you think Steve takes you on a journey then Marillions work and albums do exactly the same. Great analysis fil many thanls, rock🤘
Marillion is a prog group with a loyal following in Europe. I remember they would have whole weekends with their fans where they would perform several times. Not well known in the States.
Wings of Pegasus Unfortunately, while Rothery is a good guitar player and I generally like prog. Even groups like Spock’s Beard, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Transatlantic, Yes, etc. I just can’t listen to Marillion. I know they are pros and work hard at their craft. Maybe it’s a British thing. I can’t imagine spending a whole weekend listening to their 30 year catalog. Maybe their music is just too intellectual for me.
Lovely playing great sounds saw marillian many times always great live saw steve at guitar show demonstrating blade guitars which I use my self for years great player pil have a look at steve hackett as well also beautiful sound
I have never heard of Marillion, MESMERIZING, Steve sure knows how to make that guitar speak! Great music, i would def.pay to see them... Great upload, once again, Fil...
@@327journal Oh yes, the second guitar solo in This Strange Engine is a beauty to behold! But maybe start with a shorter song, like Easter or Sugar Mice, or - my personal favourite - this live version of "Quartz": th-cam.com/video/Z8BC5Sjmsxs/w-d-xo.html
Love how he gives each note he plays breathing room! And then he just lets go, really brilliant to listen to! Yeah.....he’s smokin Fil and a first for me watching him! Totally enjoyed this thanks Fil! Cheers Mario!😀😀🤘🤘🤘
Hello from Denmark. Just found your channel, Fil - and it's become more important to me than my tvset. I wonder if I might draw your attention to one of your fellow countrymen, Tony Hicks from the Hollies. A much underrated guitarist in my opinion. He is in his early 70's and still very active in the group. And thank you very much for your great efforts . . .
Absolute gem! I know Marillion and Fish but never knew Steve had his own band! I love that sweet guitar tone from the 80s you hear it here and that time of the night but also ZZ Top’s 2000 Blues. Sounds like a popular setup at the time. Any suggestions what amps/overdrives were popular back then?
Thanks, Fil. I always like to hear proggers. For some reason his general sound in front reminded me of Shadowfax. I always liked G.E. Stinson's guitar work on their first album--before they went to a more New Age sound on Windham Hill and Chuck Greenberg took over most creative control. A lot of his new stuff is experimental, but might be interesting to you--and he can still put out some pretty good licks when he wants to.
I've seen Marillion 3 times excellent band ... Here's a guy that never gets mentioned Steve Rothery is an excellent guitar player he's so tastefull and his relaxing style is what separates him from the pack, A1 player in my opinion! I love Marillion....
Thank you! I had not seen this video and I love it! This is what I explain as being the kind of music I can wrap around myself a float in. Even though I play bass, I play some guitar too. Thanks to you I now have an actual use for the Dark Side pedal that I just ordered for my guitar pedalboard.🙂
Just found your channel a week or so ago and am slowly working my way through your reviews. Great takes on great players. Some suggestions would be David Grissom (Storyville), Doyle Dykes, Tuck Andress. If you’ve covered any of these cats I will find it soon but if not you should take a peek. I would love to see your reaction to Tuck especially or even some old Les Paul w/ Mary Ford when he is playing on the Les Paul Recording, when it actually had a recorder mounted on it.
I've always been a big Marillion fan, I have all the vinyl records. For me the vocalist Fish is simply genius in the way of singing and the drama. I've always really liked Steve Rothery also. Brilhant.
Sounds like something I would have on while napping 😴Love it! Edit that. When he gets into the drums and dynamics, that would definitely wake me up😯 Still like it, just not for chilling!
Been tied up for a while, so I'm WAY behind on you recent posts. Noticed Rothery's name on my notification, though, and specifically made time for it. I actually had in mind to suggest him to you some time ago. Love Marillion, and believe me on that... my daughter's name is Kayleigh! Sadly, we don't get many opportunities to see them here in The States. Thanks for covering this! Meanwhile, I hear this and I think of another English guitarist who is in a similar vein of music: Steven Wilson! Would love to see you analyse one of his pieces, some time.
hey fil, check out eric clapton playing alongside scotty moore on thats alright mama, the look on eric's face is priceless when he realizes he's playing with the inventor of rockabilly guitar, its on a dvd called a tribute to the king.
Have you considered an analysis of the playing of Nick Barrett from Pendragon? A contemporary of Steve Rothery in the 80's Neo Prog vein. For me Nick egdes it for tone and the sweetness of his solos. I recommend 'Breaking the Spell' or 'Netherworld' as prime examples of his phenomenal playing.
Hey Fil, thanks for featuring Steve Rothery! I've seen Marillion a couple of times in the States, and they are a great live band. I also got to meet Steve before one the shows, and he's a really down to earth nice guy.

Mike Charlton just discovered SR... you might also like Andy Timmons and Nick Johnston ...melodically and emotionally sublime
The first band I ever got into was Marillion. I was obsessed for decades.
Just after that it was also Pink Floyd. (Hi Dave.)
All this time I was having guitar lessons.
While this music is clearly wonderful, have you _any_ idea how crippling it is to be constantly confronting perfection while trying to learn a skill for yourself?

Sure; we all sort-of think that we listen to the best stuff out there; that's why we listen, right?
But I thank all of you who comment about just how good Steve is. Because it makes me feel slightly less bad about being so $#!@. ;)
Rothery is so criminally underrated it’s not even funny. The mans phrasing and tone is out of this world!
Steve is such a great expressive player, very underated, love his work with Marillion.
👍
Rothery is one of the great, under-rated musicians of his generation, and one of the best guitarists around, period.
it his....
Steve Rothery is a genius.....best guitarist ever....and that tone, feckin amazing!
Steve is my favourite guitarist of all time. Such emotion...
He's a bloody genius! No mistaking! Nice video - thanks!
Great to see Steve Rothery getting some love, I met him in a pub where he'd gone to play for Fish as a favour to Fish's friend who owned the pub. the strangest gig I've ever been to, the pub didn't even have a stage, it was just a pub. My friends and I chatted with them for a long time and they were just nice guys who enjoyed a laugh. This was quite a long time after Fish had left Marillion, so it was nice to see they were still friends.
I prefer this kind of player. Don't care for thousand notes when one will do. Emoting that emotion.
👍🙂
Indeed
Check out Steve Hackett and Andrew Latimer (Camel)
Exactly!:)
Marillion is a great band!!
Yes they are!
👍
That's not Marillion! But yes they are fantastic.

He’s a 1-in-a-Marillion! 🤘

His music seems to tell it's own story. A really good listen.

@J J - And Season's End, ESPECIALLY "Easter"
Marillion is the wellspring from which I flow. Rothery is not far behind my favorite guitarist, Micheal Hedges. Another excellent video Wings
Thanks Thomas!
Saw Marillion in Chicago 92' Park West, it's a small club, had a table right in front of Steve, and was in Awe the whole show.
Floating to paradise on a cloud. Love hearing players I've never heard especially this talented. Wonderful tone and they are so together as a group. Analysis on the money! 🎯
👍
I had the honor to share a stage with him once. Such a nice and calm guy and the strongest handshake ever!
I always have and will admire his calmness its unreal .I think nothing can throw him off ... ever
Very tasty stuff, every note sings! I love when great players save their big tricks for the end of the solo🤘🏻

Been a fan of Marillion since the '80's! Great reaction! Steve is such a great player!
This video is fantastic. Thank you for this.
This is terrific! Marillion was one of my favorite bands in the 80s and 90s. This is the first I've heard of his own band.
True Master, my favorite guitarist from nearly 40 years. The most underrated master of guitar.

Fab analysis. Lovely tribute to my favourite guitarist and really useful as a beginner guitarist trying to emulate his sound. :)
Marillion is my favorite band. Would love to hear an analyses of one of their songs -- with Hogarth of course.
ROTHERY is a badass. Love his Marillion stuff. It's very clean . All of it. 1 of the most underrated guitarist of all time.
Sunday laying on your bed headphones on and drift away with the musical journey you will be taken on.

Great points, lovely performance by Rothers, not 1 wasted note
So much of my own playing style has come from Steve Rothery. He's an incredible player who doesn't rely on technique.

Same here though I wasn't lucky enough to meet him. I can always tell his playing, it's that unique. Love him!
@@nickimontie I agree - his playing is so emotive. I especially love his solo on 'Easter'.
@@jsa2112 I was going to mention that exact song! It's hard to pick just one solo that's his best, but Easter is the first one I thought of!
@@nickimontie Agreed! There are so many, but that one really stands out for me too.
