#Marillion #reaction
Marillion are one of the greatest bands ever. Musicality, professionalism, passion. Thier songs are just incredible
👍🏻
Prog rock is the phrase. Please listen to script for a jesters tear..
Marillion, the best band you’ve never heard of.
Go with ‘Neverland’, “Ocean Cloud”, “Invisible Man”, “Sounds that can’t be made”, the whole concept album “F.E.A.R”, the whole concept album “Misplaced Childhood”, and “Whatever is wrong with you”.
absolutely, along with Fugazi, script for a jesters tears, any of Clutching at straws - esp Warm wet circle
@@GaryParris oh, those are fire as well!
YES from a Marillionaire!
Don't forget Brave
The most recent album An Hour Before It's Dark is brilliant.
Nice reaction guys. A couple of things then: The name of the band comes from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion'. The song 'Easter' was written about the Irish uprising during the Easter period of 1916, and guitarist Steve Rothery's solo was recorded as a single take. You take care
Thank you so much for this info! :) - Lex
Wow That's nice! I didn't know none of the information. Thanks for sharing! :))
Lovely info. I would add that Steve H wrote this song about the Troubles (1960 - 1998), not just the Irish uprising in 1916. Easter, here again - it is a reference to that it has been many, many, many Easters and still there is no peace in Northern Ireland (when it was written). There must come an Easter ("surely now") when this will be over ("when the blind will see"). At least that is how I interpret it going on Steve's own comments about the song.
Thanks mate!!❤
Can't go wrong with Marillion. They are even better live. Neverland (live), The Space... (Live at Royal Albert Hall with "Friends from the orchestra"), This Strange Engine, Sounds that can't be made, etc. etc.
You had the pronunciation right the first time. Ma-ril-li-on.
Thank you!! :)
OH YEAH
Saw them live twice in Bremen, on their Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws tours. But i was a big fan of Fish and after he left i bought one more album, and while i still really loved the guitar from Steven Rothery i just was no fan of the new singer.
So my tip are songs like "Script for a jesters tear", "Sugar Mice", "Chelsea Monday" and "Misplaced Childhood" .. yes it is in the end just one song, they even announced it on the concert as their last song, and then it was the whole album 😄
My favourite band of all time.
I loved your reaction after the solo. Seeing how much you loved it brought a wee tear to my eye.
Please react to Marillion 'The Space' live at The Royal Albert Hall , listen to the message ,which is clearer towards the end of the song , they are so cool !!! Most underrated Band Ever !!!
Gaza live would be a good one from my favourite band, Marillion or the space. This is the only band that can bring a grown man to tears.
Season's End - On the same album. Another great tune.. :)
I just love this band. And so many great songs.
These type of bands are called Neo Prog. If you like this band try “Neverland” by them.
Definitely Neverland !
Yes... live though!
Thank you ...My favourite band...hope you will pick "waiting to happen" a beautiful song as well.
You can't go wrong with Marillion.
Always take the live version if you can though.
As another comment says, the best band you've never heard of.
And they have only been going for nearly 40 years😯
Man..I sob at the solo too, seen this performed live many times..I just close my eyes and get carried on the emotional rollercoaster..thanks for the reaction
So envious you get to listen to Marillion for the first time. Treasure trove to discover.
Simply my favourite track of all time, there is nothing that compares to this masterpiece
"Neverland", "the Great Escape", "the Sky Above the Rain" will blow your mind
Well it’s been a while since this post first appeared and I hope you have fallen in love with Marillions music like we have,they truly are one of the best bands you will ever hear…Estonia and Seasons end are for me just magical.
Marillion is one of my all time favourite bands and Easter is a masterpiece. They have so much great Music. Another great tune is "He Is" by Ghost.. I highly suggest it.
Ghost is a great choice down the line and "He Is" is a beautiful one. Tobias Forge, their singer and mastermind, is a
fabulous songwriter. But beware-Ghost is extremely addictive. And thanks for the Marillion!
@@markh6014 Agree that Tobias is a genius. I have to admit, I have become obsessed with Ghost.
Greetings from Helsinki, a former Denver Colorado Resident, I got to see Marillion at the Fox Theatre in Boulder in 2004, thanks for the react!
One of the greatest songs ever written and one of the greatest solos of all time!!!
Thanks for your reaction to Marillion! If you want to get a lump in your throat, listen to them doing "Sugar Mice" live with the audience singing along.
We're always up for lumps in our throats, so we'll add that to the list!! Thanks for watching and suggesting!:) - Lex
Lovely reaction ♥👍
Their name is from the book 'The Silmarillion' by Tolkien. Because of the copyrights they changed it to Marillion.
There are loads of great songs to listen to.
Check out 'Neverland' (live Out of Season 2009), a great Love song ♥.
Or 'Ocean Cloud', a song about a man who rowed across the Atlantic Ocean on his own (18 min 😏...).
'This strange engine' is also great, awesome guitar and vocale (especially at the end...).
Fish era:
Blind Curve (actually you should listen to the entire album Misplaced Childhood!).
The combo: Hotel Hobbies, Warm wet circles and That time of the Night)...
What a beautiful song, thank you both you are doing amazing work, Love you Sweetheards
Ah, thanks for the trivia and glad you enjoyed! These all sound like great suggestions, and totally new! Much appreciated and sending peace, Lex :)
Thank you for your support, Claudia! We love you, too! :)
This is one of my favourite songs, I also love splintering heart.
Wonderful song. Emotional guitar solo. Now thats improvising.
So great to see people reacting to (and enjoying) Marillion, one of my favourite groups, this whole album (Season's End) is worth a listen, but Berlin and The Space will give you an idea of their variety. I've just subscribed so I can enjoy your journey with them.
Great reaction, thanks! You can’t go wrong with Marillion. The guitarist, Steve Rothery, is extremely sensitive in his playing. This is from the first album with the new vocalist, Steve Hogarth, after the charismatic singer Fish left the band, you should experience them both. A couple of suggestions with Hogarth:
- Neverland (from Marbles)
- Invisible man (from Marbles)
- Fantastic place (from Marbles)
- Hard as love (acoustic version from Less is More)
- The Space (from Seasons End)
- Ocean Cloud (from Marbles)
With Fish:
- Hotel hobbies/Warm wet circles/That time of the night (from Clutching at Straws)
- Fugazi (from Fugazi)
- Forgotten sons (from Script for a Jester’s tear)
- Assassing ( from Fugazi)
- Emerald lies (from Fugazi)
- Script for a Jester’s tear (from Script...)
Cheers, 😎👍
Wow we loove these detailed comments; thank you so much for taking the time! We will definitely take this into consideration and I can’t wait to hear more! Like I said in the video, I can see myself getting super into them. Thanks again! - Lex
That’s a selection to start with Marillion !
Keep in mind that they’re still playing, same lineup as this song, and they’ve only got better in their trade. Live they’re fantastic. Oh! And they invented crowdfunding, after their previous record label let them go, and the fans put the music for another album. And another. And another. And...
Great selection
@@NicknLex Maybe time to get back to Marillion?!😊
If you haven’t heard it yet, check out “Care” on their latest album “An Hour Before It’s Dark”. It’s primarily about the care given to us Brits by our National Health Service. To say it’s emotional is an understatement, particularly the last section, “Angels on Earth”. Seriously, grab your tear wiping cloth of choice, put your headphones on and dive in. “The angels in this world are not in the walls of churches…..”
She will love to listen 'Seasons End', 'Holidays in Eden', 'Brave', 'Afraid of Sunlight' and 'Marbles' whole albums
Dude, I've been listening to it for 33 years and it still gets a tear or two out of me. It's brilliant in its beauty. And yes... "that solo...."
6/8 and 5/4 time signature .... That's prog all about
Recently discovered this British band they’re amazing you gotta do Strange Engine and Neverland live this band has blown me away and are a creative inspiration
The Great Escape is an amazing track by Marillion.
Season's end is another great song of this album and off the album marbles there's a song called Neverland, another great song.
One of the greatest guitar solos ever....yes i sed ever
I took this album to station in Berlin and listened to it over and over and over while wandering around Berlin.
Easter is of the best songs ever Composed !
Out of this world* is one of my favorites.
Steve Rothery es de esos guitarristas fantásticos que no tienen su merecido reconocimiento ..... Marillion no es Pink Floyd, pero es una banda fantástica
Hi guys.Nice song good music Nice guitare solo.long time i didnt heard oh Marillion.
React to "Neverland" from they ;)
Live video, sure.
Neo progressive bands, IQ, Arena, Gazpacho, pendragon. By the way, Marillion are still going strong, last album Fear did very well and they are getting ready for their next opus. Pioneers of internet crowd funded albums which has given them freedom. Very loyal fanbase and amazing live band. Out of this world is a tear jerker.
This song brings so much emotion to me, I have loved Marillion from the beginning with Fish and with their line up now! The airing an complex blending of different sounds, makes this song a superhero! I am so glad you loved it, I always get emotional listening to this.
You've got to see them live!! such a great and with some amazing music! Marillion is pronounced Marill'ee'on. You could call it Neo-prog rock. get onto "The Great Escape" on the Brave album or "This strange engine" from the album of the same name. both incredible tracks that you will LURV!!!
Since you mentioned Steven Wilson you might be interested to know that he was present (aged 12) at the first ever Marillion gig in 1980 (back when they were still called Silmarillion), and remains a fan to this day!
Wow! That’s awesome!!! Thanks for sharing! - Lex
@@NicknLex
Steven Wilson has also produced some of the band's songs such as 'Go' and 'Interior Lulu' (album 'Marillion.com' - '99). Great songs btw. And he also remixed the entire album 'Brave' in 2018 (album from '94).
Wow.. I know this song... Great!! No headbanging here.. just headfloating.
Thanks for another great reaction. Marillion... your life has been changed forever! Welcome!
Next, I would suggest Neverland recorded at the Marillion Convention in 2009 (from video "Out of Season"). Not just because I can be seen getting carried away in another dimension on the front row of the crowd but because it is a perfect showcase for everything that is so good about Marillion - passion, beauty, truth... and that guitar!
Take care both of you.
"Marillion, unlike many other bands, really m o v e s people." I once read that statement, probably on their own website. Very true words. Personally I do not like that style of music very much, but Marillion are masters of their craft. You simply have to acknowledge genius when you encounter it. If I happen to listen to their music, I am moved and challenged every time. By their sound, and by their lyrics as well.
Nice reaction, glad you like my favorite band. Try Neverland live in Out of season concert. 👍
Ah, no sabia que hablan español, un abrazo de un peruano desde Dallas, TX. 👍👍
Marillion's song Beautiful is amazing!
Being a fan of progrock from the 70's I discoceted this band in the early 90's only. Since then time by time I listen to their best ballads. Even I have been in their concert in 2005 Barcelona. Fantastic experience being in a small scenario at 3 mts from the singer and Steve Roherty. The one we never forget.
A tip is to watch the cover with half of dream theater and half of marillion. It is such a beautifully played version.
Another great reaction guys.... And yet another great band. So, its pronounced Marilly-on, if that makes sense! Once again a band with a super skilled guitarist, Steve Rothery, a master of very expressive and emotionally charged solos. Now as they have been around since the late 70's there is a huge back catalogue of material to delve into. My choices would be - Neverland, This Strange Engine, Out Of This World, Afraid Of Sunlight, Slainte Mhath (live Fish tribute), Three Minute Boy. In my opinion the live versions are the ones to go for, and as I'm more an H (Steve Hogarth) era fan than a Fish era fan (controversial view I know!!), I therefore prefer more recent concerts. As for similar bands, Pineapple Thief, Airbag, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, IQ, are a few of my favourites. Cheers Bob....
Thanks so much for your support, Bob! We appreciate the suggestions and will keep them in mind! :) - Lex
I love 3 minute boy, (live) coz they end up just jamming... brilliant
I am surprised you haven’t done more reactions of Marillion they are a brilliant band x
Marillion has 2 periods. The beginning where they became world famous, with lead singer Fish. He quit the band in 1988 and the band got another singer then. Easter is from the 2nd period.
Check the first period. Albums: Misplaced Childhood (best album ever according to me), Clutching at straws.
Check out also Fish, the first singer who went solo.
His first solo album: Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors (perfect album, songs, lyrics are just poetry, everything).
The first singer was Doug Irvine.
My second favorite band after Rush (Pink Floyd comes 4th, after Genesis, PF used to be my 1st but I came around 😉). This song is a real plea for peace and love, so smart, delicate and passionate. Steve Rothery's gilmouresque solo is heaven 👏👏👍
Check out "Sugar Mice" from Clutching At Straws in 1987. This was the 4th and final studio album with Fish as the vocalist.
Great choice ! I prefer the other singer , Fish , but the first album with Hogarth is excellent ! Space on this album is superb ! I suggest to you the first three songs on Marillion's Clutching at Straws (because they never stop) : Hotel Hobbies , Warm Wet Circles and That Time Of The Night (The Short Straw). Its the last studio album , an excellent one , by Fish ! The great classic album is Misplaced Chilhood , chosen as the fourth greatest concept album of all time by Classic Rock in 2003. Misplaced Childhood was Marillion's first full concept album consisting of two continuous pieces of music on the two sides of the vinyl record. Great music !
special, special group. Dive into it. The rewards are immense.
Nice reaction. Boy, what a journey you guys have ahead of you with Marillion.
Sugar Mice
Script for a jester’s year.
Blind Curve
The Space (live from the Albert hall)
Neverland (live out of season 2009)
The Great Escape
And loads more
Enjoy
Yah guys!!! I've been dropping suggestions about Marillion for a while and stubbled on this. So glad you went down the rabbit hole. This was the first album with their new singer Steve Hogarth who followed Fish. IMHO the earlier Marillion with Fish was more edgy. Their debut album Script For A Jester's Tear launched their success worldwide. Some compared their early years to early Genesis. Marillion is still making new music and tours. Loved to have you react Fish era music. Thanks for this reaction!
So glad you have found this great band. Must react to some of their other great songs: Neverland live, Ocean Cloud, Fantastic Place just to name a few.
This has to be one of One of Rothery's top N solos, where N is a small whole number. Such raw, yet controlled emotion transmitted through a delicate application of technique.
Shadow Gallery and Magellan were part of the Magna Carta label.
Marillion (Mar-Rill-Eeon) are known as Britain's Best Kept Secret. They have been recording for 40 years and show no signs of stopping. Care from their latest album (An Hour Before It's Dark) is one of the greatest songs ever written.
They need to be experienced live though, so, might I suggest live versions of The Great Escape, Neverland, This Strange Engine or Gaza. Guitarist Steve Rothery is one of the most underrated guitar players on the planet
Marillion..pronounced Mar-ill-e-on..best band you'll ever hear... Great Escape, New Kings and This Strange Engine are amazing..and those are just the tip of the iceberg
Great reaction to a great song. I like your energy and vibes. I love Marillion and have seen them many times including a Marillion weekend for which I traveled from the US to the UK. They are an excellent band that have two eras based on different lead vocalists. Both eras are fantastic in their own way. Neo prog would be the way that most would describe their musical genre but to me it is just good music. I am curious to see how much progressive rock you two will explore on this journey as it is probably my favorite genre. My recommendations would be endless! Keep up the good work. Thanks for your time and effort to share what you love.
Have your wife react to Marillion’s “Neverland.” If you want her to have dreamy, love-filled feeling that makes her swoon, Neverland is your ticket to a romantic feeling. “The Great Escape” is a great alternative.
Try Marillion's "Chelsea Monday" from their album "Script for a Jester's Tear".
Rothery playing on God's guitar. Ear-gasmic!
Masterpiece. You should try more of Season's end, The Space from Royal Albert Hall live recent version. Season's end, the title track, Unvited guest, King of Sunset town and Berlin. Try from Holidays in Eden, Spinthering Heart
A classic that every one should know .. a thing of beauty.. just fantastic and a great introduction to Marillion to the uninitiated..
Bitter Suite: Brief Encounter / Lost Weekend / Blue Angel / Misplaced Rendezvous / Windswept Thumb
Liedje van Marillion
Losten to this text , it is truelly magical
If you want a similar vibe but maybe a little heavier, then have a look at polish band Riverside. They deserve alot more attention than they receive. I think you will really enjoy them based on what I've seen you react to thus far.
Hi, you two, thanks for sharing tears when there is music of such a quality and beauty going on. And about Marillion? There is a LOT to discover, you have so much joy, so many moments ahead of you, I would envy you if I couldn't say myself having enjoyed them since 40 years now. Seeing them life ususally means 2 and a half hour of AWEsome time spend well.
At the end you called for suggesting more bands, like them. I want to recomment you a Scottish 5-piece that had along hibernation in between and are nearly unknown. But try "Pallas" with their song "The Sanctuary". Their material in general is harder, they look like a metal band except the singer, who reminds me of Fergal Sharkey of the Undertones.
Enjoy :)
Marillion es una banda que genera emociones a raudales!, y si tenés la oportunidad de apreciarlos en vivo, te llegan más. Realmente me encantó que hallan realizado una reacción a un tema de ellos. Tienen muchos temas que seguro, los fans les recomendarán en otros comentarios. Y creanme, no se van a defraudar. A mi gusto, una de las mejores bandas que escuché en mi vida, y ya estoy pisando los 60!. Abrazo desde la Patagonia Argentina
Totalmente de acuerdo. Después de The Beatles por supuesto.
It's 2021 now. Marillion is stll one of the best LIFE bands there is. Steve Hogarth (h) is 62 of something like that, and still is one of the best vocalist ever. Listen to there Life album at the Royal Albert Hall. And be amased.
I first heard about Marillion in high school in ‘85 but did not get into them until a cover band played ‘Incommunicado’ at a Penn State bar I frequented in ‘89. I saw them on the Holidays in Eden tour and Fish live in ‘95. Love this band.
Always HAVE to play at Easter time. 🔥
They were the big influence on Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Spocks Beard etc and they invented Neo Prog as you mentioned.
OMG Marillion, love them so much. Play Neverland and This Strange Engine.
What a fab reaction! It’s so wonderful to see people who really know and appreciate music the way you two do... I saw Marillion live at my University in 1984... I was very lucky. This reaction has made me add Marillion to my list for a vinyl collection that I’ve started...I can’t recommend vinyl enough... on a good stack system.. it’s so immediate, present, visceral.
Watch and comment on live shows guys, you will be blown away,
England best kept secret.
MARILLION FOREVER XX
6:02 - 7:36 Steve Rothery lets his guitar sing once more... 😊🤗👏
The brilliant Marillion and the classic track Easter….
Had the pleasure of meeting the vocalist Steve Hogarth, lovely chap…
Give the misplaced childhood album a spin, another Marillion classic..
Sugar Mice was the one that Dream Theater play in a concert and they also play Easter together
Ah good. You have found Marillion! Brilliant. Lots of suggestions already. So many to choose from! Season's End, Splintering Heart, Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury, Afraid of Sunlight, This Strange Engine, Interior Lulu, Invisible Man, Fantastic Place, Neverland, The Man from the Planet Marzipan, Real Tears for Sale,and The Sky Above the Rain. Should keep you busy for a while!😁
I've had a look through the comments and I can't see that anyone has mentioned Grendel yet. It's one of their very early tracks that was not on an album although it did subsequently appear on 'B' Sides Themselves. It tells the story of the Nordic Beowulf saga. There are critics who point to a section that is extremely similar to part of the Apocalypse in 9/8 passage in Supper's Ready and I think that is in large part responsible for a number of people who said that Marillion are a Genesis copy band. I think that's extremely unfair - Marillion had very much more than that to offer and were/are a fantastic band in their own right. If it was ever true (which I don't think it was), it is certainly not true now. Even taking into account the 'inspiration' from Supper's Ready, I think Grendel is an excellent track and worth exploring, even though it weighs in at just over 17 minutes long.
Marillee-un is how you pronounce it. They are musical Gods, the very best of bands from any era ❤❤❤
Really enjoyed watching your reaction. This is from Marillion's first album without Fish who was the previous vocalist and songwriter. Seasons End is a very good album but the one before with Fish on lead vocals called Clutching at Straws is a truly incredible album in my opinion and well worth listening to.
Saw them open for Rush back in 86 for the Power Windows tour in Buffalo. Awesome show.
There are 2 different lead singers for Marillion. The original was named Fish. The singer on this album is Steve Hogarth, or Steve H, as the guitar player is Steve Rothery. :)
This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It was probably in the end of 1994, I was 14 years old, and Seasons End was the first Marillion album I heard. I remember finding the first song a bit strange - I had never listened anything like that - but Easter (the second song) hypnotized me. Man, what a wonderful song! Everything is perfect, the acoustic guitar, the keyboards, the voice and the guitar solo is a masterpiece.
It was very nice listening to it with you guys! 🙂
Hey thanks for your story. You're much closer to our age. Nice to see some younger people listening to this music. This is indeed a beautiful song.
I found Marillion early in the Fish days. But I love both eras of the band equally. Another great emotional song from around this period is called Estonia. You really can't go wrong across all the decades of this band's music.
Lovely song and reaction
Marillion is my favorite band ever. Especially in the era with the first singer Fish. Although the second singer era Steve Hogarth the band has great songs like this one. I would recommend listening to the whole album Misplaced Childhood from begging to the last song.
Hi guys. I’m a little late in replying here but I grew up listening to this band, I’m 56 now and saw them play live but only when Fish was fronting the band. Try to investigate his solo material if you get a chance too, you won’t be disappointed. But yes Easter is a truly wonderful track with Steve Rothery’s unmistakable guitar solo, just one of so many that will rip your heart right out with it’s pure emotion. Albums I recommend - well all of them LOL but with Fish, Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws. With Steve Hogarth on vocals, Brave and Afraid of Sunlight. And congratulations on having such great taste and a discerning ear!! Enjoy.
Marillion is best experienced live
Steve Hogarth’s stage presence is unmatched.
He's no Fish
Try Steve hogarths previous band called how we live there's a song called all the love in the world...cracking.
Marillion best taken live....try Ocean Cloud and/or Invisible Man and certainly Gaza live
Season's End was the first album with Steve Hogarth. I had been a fan from 1982/3 when they were still playing the college circuit and had not released a single album. I don't know how many live shows I went to in the mid 80's? Folks of my era were horrified that Fish had left the band. Your first listen was one of anticipation. I played this the first time with feelings of utter dread, how bad would it be? My Marillion would never be the same again. I was utterly blown away by the first bars of "The King of Sunset Town" and by the time Easter came along was completely hooked. Marillion has been the soundtrack of my life and I hope it continues.
I hitchhiked to Ottawa ON from Trenton ON when I was 19 to see Marillion at Barrymore's. They were my favourite band at the time, and I had a chance to meet them after the show. I thought it would be a hi and a handshake, but I ended up talking to guitarist Steve Rothery for about an hour - he sure can talk. :D Mark the keyboard player also took me up on stage (after the show, of course) so I could take a look at his rig (I am a keyboardist). Mark was a little standoffish compared to Steve, who was warm and welcoming. I started drifting away from Marillion a few albums after Steve Hogarth took over on vocals. Though his voice is more pleasing than Fish's, it has an odd thickness to it that just never caught my ear. I lost interest after H's fourth album with the band, though I am sure the music after that was still great. I had just moved on.
If you want to check out a masterpiece from Marillion, listen to Misplaced Childhood in its entirety. It's front to back AMAZING. If you can get your hands on Steven Wilson's 5.1 remix/master of it, do so.
That solo is my favourite solo of marillion (Rothery)
Marillion (maril-leon) were inducted in to the Prog-rock hall of fame, and guitarist is a legend. love both vocalists for different reasons, check out Fish's latest solo album! they were cinsidered the more accessible genesis in the 90's but definitely checkout Neverland, and Asylum Satellite, or any song on the F.E.A.R album, Sunlight is also one amazing goosebump among so many Happiness is the road!
