Marillion - Meet The Band 2021 - Pete Trewavas

[@MrHenni2011]

One of the most underrated bass players ever. Also such a nice and humble human being!

[@baudelaire7670]

Effectively. You have to play his bass lines I think to realize how he is a huge musician

[@cismercier8009]

Yeah, you cannot not like him.

[@andycanona]

@Henrik Kropp Amen to that! I always thought this guy was great. Happy to see more folks appreciate Pete Trewavas

[@Nickthebassist01]

Agree. He’s a monster player, very much up there with Squire et al.

[@lucasimmons075]

Ever since the Fugazi album I was hooked on his bass work. Script was great, but Punch and Judy, Incubus, Cinderella Search and Emerald Lies are when he started to become next level. What I love about him, though, is even on songs where he's not playing crazy, he always plays the right notes in the right spots to make a huge rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic contribution

[@dclark4422]

God bless Pete. He loves music so very much, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. The sheer emotion on his face makes me love his playing (and Marillion) even more than I do already. Thank you so much, Pete. You're a class act!!

[@RetroReminiscing]

I agree, you get a really nive friendly honest vibe from him i think

[@hyperboreal]

His love for music and art as a form of escape is so relatable. Excellent musician.

[@JASONVOORHEES-ol1nj]

Pete Trewavas, one of the best in the business. Being from Aylesbury myself, he will always smile and say hi whenever you see him 👏

[@iberofernandez7888]

He plays relaxed on Marillion , but in Transatlantic he is a complete different kind of Monster.

[@ProgSnob14]

He shreds

[@brentheathersimons7042]

Listen to Gaza ;)

[@thewolfman6854]

I just love this guy. His enthusiasm is so infectious

[@rogerrodrigues3528]

Pete, you are an extraordinary talented and competent musician, dedicated and determined, always exceeding your limits and improving with each job. His good humor is contagious, his smile illuminates the stages of our lives, you are a wonderful human being. I am Brazilian, I had the privilege of seeing him play here several times with Marillion❤. I was extremely happy to read that one of your memorable moments happened here in Brazil. I am waiting for a next tour, if I pass through São Paulo I will definitely be present again.🎶❤🎸

[@MiriamMars]

One of my favorite bass-players of all time! And such nice person!!!

[@ricardowilliams76]

Peter is not only an amazing musician, but also a gentleman and very nice guy. I met him on the backstage after a show in São Paulo and he was extremely nice, considerate and kind to all the fans.

[@nigelblake1558]

Top bassist who always looks like he’s having fun on stage! One fifth of that unique conundrum where where five parts add up to a total far greater than five, Marillion!

[@tobiasdenter701]

Imho one of the best bass players on the planet. A big influece! I always loved his melodic style of playing the bass.

[@gregorlandini4328]

His lines are perfect

[@israeltcleitao7960]

Brazil loves you, Pete!

[@positivelastaction3957]

I hope the next album includes a 12 minute bass solo.

[@suzannadannaTARDIS]

Yay! Pete is like the energizer bunny. Love his BVs and bass parts on the songs. And Pete, we fans agree - it is impossible to choose ONE favorite Marillion song. I'm going with a top 5.

[@bosstime2010]

Had the honor of meeting and conversing with Pete on a progressive rock cruise a number of years ago. What a nice and humble guy in addition to being a killer bass player. Funny story though, at least to me, is when we first got onto the cruise ship before it even left the dock, I got myself an ice cream cone and as I was turning the corner I hear, "hey mate, where did you get that?" I looked up and it was Pete. What a way to start a cruise!

[@craigashford9156]

Grew up in Wendover and used to see Marillion and others at Friars. For me, Pete is an absolute melodic bass genius and his music has given me countless hours of pleasure - thank you Pete!

[@ShanDobby]

I love Pete. He's one of my favorite musicians.

[@davidgibbings6085]

I’ve seen marillion twice in my life once with fish and the second with Steve both absolutely brilliant both in there own way , couple of weeks ago neverland came up on my playlist , this gets played every day as I just love this track , so powerful , almost makes me cry 🙂❤️

[@betoastorga]

PETE =) such a great musician!!!

[@nickburmanmusic]

The finger lights in Leicester - I was there! And the second time at the Royal Albert Hall. Fantastic times they were! Seeing the reactions from the band was priceless.

[@guillermoduranlujan6983]

What was this incident I am unaware of, what happened then?

[@guillermoduranlujan6983]

Oh wait, I now remember the video from Royal Albert Hall!! Of course!! I feel chills by watching the video!! Can only imagine being there!! Wow

[@didididi71]

he is so very very pleasant...

[@seamuscolgan7654]

Great interview! Pete is such a nice guy and obviously loves music making & listening.

[@paulbm-uk]

Yes! Marbles is indeed your finest piece of work.

[@fabio5995]

Intro of "Chelsea Monday" still amazing👌👌

[@collinpolhill4102]

Hi pete I'm collin from Liverpool I truly think you are a legend man I love everything you guys wrote I wish I could of went to see you guys in concert me pete iv never been to a concert before ever I wish I could of gone to watch marillion in concerts your a true legend man stay safe man and thanks for all your great music take care of your selfs matey

[@boodolph]

Great idea guys! Pete is a monster and an often underrated bass player. I became a fan from the moment I've heard Marillion for the first time, back in the 90's. Keep up the good work boys!

[@grantwallace1882]

I can totally relate to what he said about reading. Great to hear from someone else.

[@t702942]

One of my biggest idols, Pete! Such an amazing, amazing bass player. So musical and creative and totally unique. A real inspiration for me as a bassist.

[@malloly70]

excellente bass player

[@maryelms5948]

My highlight was running into him on "The Danforth" in Toronto before their show promoting FEAR. He was so kind and not one bit bothered by a complete stranger stopping him to have a chat.

[@dariawarczak5191]

I kinda wish to know what you were doing on that yacht, that was quite a smirky smile you gave there. And respect for wearing a Mando t-shirt! Like you Steve, my dad also introduced me to some of the music I love but in my case it was you guys. For the past 15 years I continuously love the band, that's more than half of my life. So safe to say I think it's going to stay like that now. Stay safe

[@lizdowner14]

He thinks exactly like I do. This is why I love him....

[@christopheguy]

hi Pete you are a great bass guitar

[@wildviolet3973]

Very good bass player. And such a humble man.

[@marillion1510]

I miss the live gigs soooo much, hope there will be a lot more in the future, especially in Germany - and please stay healthy everyone . Thanks Pete for the interview. Thumbs up !!!

[@milesschofield7647]

Lovely to see the emotion bubbling over during that interview x

[@Pabloso213]

Nothing to add that hasn’t been said but he’s brilliant. Not your egotistical musician very humble. Keep doing it Pete.

[@neilstringfellow4090]

Was in the crowd at Leicester for the finger lights. Probably the best moment as a fan in 39 years following the band. Lovely guy.

[@JAlejandroMartinez]

Such a nice chap!

[@cinereus3601]

love this man. love his playing on Gazpacho, great song.

[@andreav1965]

My fave bass player with Chris Squire. Love xxx Pete!

[@christinephilp6312]

Great video. I'm enjoying meeting the band in these little portraits. Pete's interests - reading, films, ballet and musicians from different eras - tell us why he is such an accomplished writer and musician.

[@DANTEFISI]

This guy, how I love him!

[@v1sionary100]

Who would downvote this? Legend!

[@jamesthousandkings5406]

Love Pete, so underrated! Saw him recently with Transatlantic and I had forgotten how incredible he is live! He and Portnoy were insane together. Seeing the band next month for Marillion weekend in Montreal, can't wait!

[@stan1977k]

Hey Pete, you're the one of my favorite bassist, and wish you luck on your way, Man Utd 💪❤⚽

[@jkl2000]

Great little interview! These videos are ideal for new fans to meet the band members, and a nice way for us longtime fans to reconnect with the band and learn a few new bits of Marillion history, and remember why we love this band! I have a program from the Reel to Real tour (for some reason), and it has short bios of the band members with little facts about them - their age, favorite color, I think it even lists their eye color! :) The videos are much more sophisticated and worthwhile. Whoever edited them did a great job as well.

[@marillionofficial]

Thanks! Expect plenty more of the same over the coming weeks and months :)

[@martijnv6032]

He is the most kind bass player Ever

[@chull1973]

Love you Pete, absolutely one of my all time favourite bassists

[@ulrickennedy5155]

I discovered Marillion live, by winning a competition to see Alice Cooper in Classic Rock. Marillion were playing the next day...so I felt a wee syncronicity when you mentioned him there. I'm the youngest guy at all your Scottish gigs now because of it 😁 You've homed in on me a few times, in a right state. I'm just transcending... Steve was nice enough to guide my trip, by singing to me all night the last time you played Glasgow tho...with the orchestra. The whole night sounded angelic...and I'll wait as long as needed to hear it again. At your side of the stage right next to the PA. Best live band ever

[@arongatt]

😮😮😮 those are my most favorite songs toooooo 😮😮😮

[@MrJuanBuzz]

What a great guy and musician is Pete Trewavas, one of my favourites really.

[@preason4202]

Got to know Pete and Marillion for a short time in the 80`s nice guy. Has not changed much in 36 years

[@pb6972]

Only just watched this... I couldn't earlier because I'm stuck in Jersey.. And it's mental here.. But listening to Pete... Just reminds me of the good times I had with my brother snd his mates back home in Devon.. In a late night lock in.. Just past the whiching hour..we even had the music box on see that's the best thing being in Devon.. Mind you we always wanted marillion to come to Plymouth a bit closer but never happened anyway When the candles come out.. And we talked about all the memories of marillion and who's best and what songs.. As we have another beer.. Yaa all back them years ago.. And I can remember.. My brother.. Wilf.. And mark who was the landlord.. Having a massive depate.. Over Pete is better and so on.. As for.. This strange engine.. It's a weird one.. But I do love it.... Sadly the days of.. Pub lock.Ins.. And just good friends talking about marillion is gone.... As Mark came out the pub trade.. And my brother wilf.. Passed away in 2009....and I grew up.. Only being 16..back 1985...but just like listening to Pete.. And the rest of the band.. Just takes me back.. Brilliant though.. Get on Pete.. Me boy... Ok people take care.. We love marillion.. Many thanks Devon pirate Paul still stuck in Jersey Channel Islands 👍

Listening to Pete, talking about the scene in Aylesbury early 80ies, I had to do a check, as it seemed as a kind of L.A......ok, it has 57.000 citizens today, but must have been a great area bringing such great musicians to all of us.

[@marillionofficial]

Aylesbury is *nothing* like LA! But we love it :)

[@toolate9494]

It was a safe, creative, gigs, theatre, arts rural community in the 70s and 80s. Now it's a horrible, sprawling concrete new build soulless dump with large % "grooming gangs" convicted and still active.
