Has to be the best song i have ever heard in my 51 years on this planet

Not surprised you've never heard of them. They have only been going for nearly 40 years. Magical every year - a back catalogue to die for - and still killing it today. You have an amazing amount of catching up to do. Enjoy it all. Steve Rothery is a killer guitarist - right up with Gilmour - and H has a great singing voice and stage presence. Their music has been crowdfunded for many years now, and at the concert you watched was a 4 day weekend event with many thousands of fans from all over the world together. Electric atmosphere, and the boys from the band mingled with the fans for the whole weekend. No other band comes close to the experience. and has such down to earth members - no "I'm a star" mentality here. Suggestions - "Gaza", "The Space", "The Great Escape", "The Sky Above The Rain "This Strange Engine", and from the earlier era, "Sugar Mice", "Grendel", "Script For A Jesters Tear", "Fugazi" and many many more.

Great track, and this recording really showcases the sound of Pete's bass, I love that. Marillion not only did the crowdfunding for most albums the last 20 years, but the actually pioneered the idea of crowdfunding.

You must listen to 'The Great Escape' by Marillion. The live version at The Royal Albert Hall is amazing.

You, my friends have just heard another Marillion Masterpiece. How the hell can you guys never have heard of the most amazing band on the planet…..!

Quite simply, one of my favourite songs, but Marillion account for a few of those. If I could hold my breath for ten minutes, I would during this performance. It feels like that, anyway. Steve Hogarth goes right out on the edge during live performances, and that's what makes them more special. More Marillion: Out of this World, King, The Great Escape, Splintering Heart.

Best Band on this Planet

Wait til you hear 'Care' by Marillion. Oh my words, what an amazing track

Marillion live is fantastic! I’ve seen them perform this song many times as an audience member and it always gives me goosebumps ❤

Thanks, Marillion, one of the best bands in the world :) They invited the crowd funding concept over 20 years ago :)

Marillion started the crowdfunding model - check it out

Glad you gents enjoyed! You touched on it but there is something very special about the connection between this band and their fans, exemplified by their biannual conventions where 3000 fans from all around the world take over a Centre Parcs in Holland and get three nights of gigs (usually about 7 hours of Marillion on stage across the 3 nights) and various other events - I've been to the last 5 of these, and in 2015 appeared on that very stage with my team as that year's Marillion quiz winners - we went up against the band in the final and trounced 'em (we weren't the first team to beat them, but we seem to have been the last, after that they've stopped having a final and just present a trophy to the winning team!) - now, I don't known what this says about me, but that's my proudest achievement in life. Becoming an RTTC patron is also in my top 5, so I think you could say I'm a bit of an underachiever generally!! ;-)

"Easter" live would also be a great choice

Genesis are my all time favourite band then comes the brilliant Marillion.

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Amazing band. My first concert paid with my own money 😁 They're just.... magical.

Awesome

It's open to differences of opinion, but Marillion made four albums with their original siniger, Fish, and attracted all the fans they were ever going to attract, due to the severe limitations of Fish as a lead singer. Fish was also the chief lyricist and composer for the band, and was a 6''5" dynamic stage presence, and those who loved him and his music really, really loved him. Then he left. There is some conflict as to why, but many of the fervid Fish fans quit their fandom in disgust at the change. They never gave the "new guy", Steve Hogarth, a chance. Then the band had the classic '80's-style argument with their record label: "Give me hit radio singles!!", which the band balked at, bristling at the effort to collar their collective muse. The record label stopped promoting them or their CD's, while still taking a significant cut of the sales revenue. So, Marillion fired their record label (they went through two or three labels but never got what they wanted in the way of support), and while running out of money to cover tour expenses and time in the studio working on new music, they happily stumbled upon crowd-funding as a replacement for money fronted by record companies, and they were able to continue touring and making new music. They have a new CD to be released in 2021. You will still be able to catch a live show oonce the Covid madness has run its course, too. But they discovered that it is tough to get songs played on the radio without the clout of a record label behind the push for some airtime, or get write-ups in the rock music press. On top of that, it you accept the most common label slapped on their music (symphonic prog), they are makding a type of music that was last popular with the public in the mid-1970's. They have been making brilliant music, songs just as good as "Neveland", since 1989, but people generally have never heard of them due to the lack of radio play. Marillion long ago stopped caring about not being a household name. They now run their own label. They don't have to put up with any music industry bulllshit. The make whatever type of song as suits their fancy at the moment, and their crazed, worldwide fan base sends enough money their way in a constant stream that they can live comfortably. I've met Steve Hogarth at the 2019 Marillion Weekend event, and it was like meeting an old friend who just happened to be the greatest male singer in popular music right now. BTW, if you couldn't catch all of the lyrics in Neverland, it just happens to be the greatest love song ever written for an older couple.

Not too long. Gaza is longer, live version a must, it's not a second too ong, or try This Strange engine. Shorter, the great escape, out of this world or The space at the Royal Albert hall.

Epic majestic beautiful eerie song

Another British band you might like, is Anathema. Try 'The Lost Song parts 1 and 2'. Beautiful.

Marillion's the band for me for over 30 years, like Rush, too. But Marillion holds the pole position. I suggest you to listen Invisible Man by them and The Great Escape, too. From the older Fish era (the first lead singer) I would suggest to check out Forgotten Sons. Thanks for this one!

Btw the name of the band is derived from a book by J R R Tolkien called The Silmarillion.

Nice one guys!!! Remember there are two eras of Marillion. Fish era Marillion 80 to 87/88 . This is Steve Hogarth era Marillion. I have Script For A Jester's Tear their first album.

Marillion is amazing!

MARILLION=WORLDS GREATEST BAND , no one has heard of !!!!!

"The Space", live at the Royal Albert Hall. I would suggest you check that one out.

Thanks for the reaction to one of my favorites! For a similar vibe, and equally good try "Invisible Man" from the same album. Once again, live is where you get the whole experience.

Try live at the Albert Hall with the string quartet ...final track The Leavers All one tonight --best live track I have ever heard/seen

I just stumbled upon your Magnum video today and was so glad to hear you did a reaction of Marillion. They have been my favorite band since the 80s when I discovered them as an exchange student in Germany. Their music is so emotive - especially their live performances. I would echo all of the other comments which have listed many great tracks. But my current favorite song (they rotate from time to time) is "The Only Unforgivable Thing". It's a deeper cut (only on their 2 disc version of Marbles, excluded from the single disc version). Here's a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrSEl86FtaebeYE.html Hope you continue to explore their music.

Glad that you enjoyed. This band is special, Marillion have got a real musical univers and write very emotionals songs. It’s not rock, It’s not pop....It’s Marillion ! Listen to theses titles, i think that you can apreciat : Season’s end : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt-gnrlivbjbcYE.html Gaza : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8dyibel2ZuXdnU.html The Space : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr9-gLWJ3cvVpp8.html

Invisible man... you cannot go wrong live are best. Marillion were the first artists that founded it. Oh and the great escape... more!!!!

Marillion are a album band, great songs made greater when heard as part of the album that's the best way to listen to this amazing band. You've got a lot to get through, they are all high quality but the best are maybe: Marbles Brave Afraid of Sunlight FEAR Seasons End Sounds that can't be made Clutching at Straws Misplaced Childhood This Strange Engine Then catch up on the others, enjoy.

You could do no worse than check out 3 other songs from this album. The Invisible Man, Fantastic Place and from the double cd version Ocean Cloud. So many more too from other albums!

SO, WHO'S THE DAD HERE? :)

Please could you react to the incredible Marillion song, 'Gaza'. Check out the live version if possible. This is a song close to my heart as I have been to Gaza and seen what life is like for the people there. I have requested this song for reaction with so many people, but nobody seems to be listening. So, for an old man in the UK, please check it out.

Try to react to: Wilki - Son Of the Blue Sky

Can you review marillion live doing Out Of this World live h d version and I will subscribe pronto
