[@davoXsr900]

Love the reaction , yes i too can get in a trance like state listening to Neverland , just love it. Along with Estonia , The Space , The invisible man , and on and on,,,,

[@claudiadavies5110]

Extraordinary and incredible ❤❤❤

[@ChrisAppel-z9l]

I love Rush. They're the reason I'm a musician. Marillion is simply the greatest band you've never heard of.

[@kingsdrummer]

I remember when I saw Marillion live for the first time, I came out of the theater floating on a cloud. They ended the show with Neverland and got the loudest standing ovation from the audience. They have so many great songs. That is a rabbit hole that goes on for a very long time. So underrated in America, but once you take the time to listen to them, you're hooked! Great reaction!

[@DaveJ2717uk]

The most underrated amazing band, as has been said before "the best band you've never heard of"

[@iantrott9152]

Thank you :) As a Rush fan since the late 70’s I can honestly say that Marillion are one of the best bands in the world, with a massive catalogue of amazing music. They are still producing superb cutting edge music, their last album, “An Hour Before It’s Dark” is stunning :)

[@glennthompson1173]

Most underrated band on Earth.

[@AzaharSpain]

One of the greatest frontman/vocalists of all time with the greatest band you never heard of

[@ArthurMol-ib5tg]

The best band that gives me everything since i was 12 13 years old....121 concerts and still love them.

[@Jonno2summit]

Amazing voice, and band.

[@franckb8279]

Their masterpiece of H era

[@jmurray2018]

Wowz I’d listen to this over Rush any day, this guy can actually sing and make me feel emotion.

[@jimfaison8325]

Steve Rothery is an underrated guitarist

[@keithbond9423]

great reaction. I love Marillion. My favorite band since the 80s. Check out the song "The Great Escape" live from 2013. It's my fav song from them, and this is a fabulous performance.

[@RenRabbitHole]

Thanks for another great reaction, Red! Marillion has been one of my favorite bands since the early 80's, and the guitarist Steve Rothery is another one of my musical heroes, along with Steve Hackett of Genesis and Steve Howe of Yes. Not sure why all my favorite guitarists are named Steve 😀 Their original singer, Fish, is my favorite lyricist of any musical genre. I've been fortunate enough to meet the band members a few times over the years, and they are all incredibly nice and down to earth. Pete T, the bassist, is Bilbo Baggins masquerading as a rock star 😂

[@Mach2k]

Idolized by their fans, underrated by the rest of the world. Marillion has 2 eras, the old skool Fish era, sounds most like old Genesis. The current H era, with a more Pink Floyd sound. I love both eras.

[@DrMackSplackem]

That explains why the guitarist that introduced me to the Foxtrot album also had me listen to Marillion.

[@Ade2bee]

One of the most magnificent fans in the world, totally independent. Just put one of their albums on at night with a fine glass of wine

[@jonsmith9518]

Out of this world is a fantastic recommendation.

[@donovanemery597]

Out Of This World, The Great Escape, Seasons End, Fantastic Place, Afraid Of Sunlight, Alone Again In The Lap Of Luxury, No-one Can. All great songs with the same singer as here.

[@Juststartingout768]

You missed the Space

[@Frozenghost2112]

I lost track of these guys after the 80’s and they replaced original singer. Recently rediscovered this band a few years ago with the newer stuff. Was such a breath of fresh air for me in a dark time of music nothingness. Lots to discover with these guys. Thanks again!

[@pasit1738]

Steve Hogart is a great singer, but a magnificent performer, too. The musicianship of Marillion is extremely high. I hope you react to Invisible Man, Great Escape, Out of This World and many more of their live performances. Can't wait the next Marillion Weekend!

[@jonsmith9518]

This band is great.

[@juergenblaas6573]

This is definitvely in my Top 10 of the best songs of all the times

[@texassendero4901]

This indeed was so smooth and flowing that I could see getting lost in it💯💯#marillion #marillionreaction #neverland #outofseason #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulfuncountrygirl #33K #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul #bestbadjokes #Rushcrush #redheadparrothead #warningawarningaddict #parrotheads #parrothead #redrocker #rush #rushforever

[@kelvinmann1058]

That was new for me, I'll definitely be checking out more. 👍🏻

[@saytamaner]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Marillion. If you start to dig a little bit deeper, you'll learn amazing things about them and of course their amazing discography. Hope you'll love them as much as we old followers do & keep sharing your reactions to their songs. Cheers! 💕

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

ah yes, great piece from my favorite band! They did open for Rush twice in the 80's.

[@tomespinoza9809]

Yay, one of my favorite bands! You have to take a journey down the Marillion rabbit hole!

[@oldgriff8559]

Some of the best music you will hear in your lifetime..Marillion are the best band I’ve heard in in 68 years…I can only suggest you listen to more..it will blow your mind

[@stephenhaunch3468]

I fly from New Zealand to see these guys. I'm hoping to get to Oslo next year.

[@stevem-h3562]

You have to see this live and be in the crowd and experience it. Theres nothing like it, there really isnt. Its quite a profound, immersive experience.

[@tristantheuerkorn5124]

Mark Kelly ist ein Magier! Nice reaction-channel! 😊

[@marioa3059]

My all time favorite band, I fly to the other side of the world (from Montreal) to assist their weekend in Port-Zelande (Netherlands) in 2011 and 2013, they are the best kept secret in prog music, huge rabbit hole.

[@antoniocastro6345]

Marillion is amazing band alive!

[@avoiceuk]

Similar genres. Classed as Prog Rock but Marillion are less heavy and more melodic. Seen both Rush and Marillion many times live. This is one of my favourite Marillion songs and live versions. Steve Rothery on Guitar is an underrated genius. Steve Hogarth on vocals is such a great live performer. Embodies what he sings. Another rabbit hole of great songs!

[@tonyfurminger8308]

Whenever possible, Marillion should always be experienced live. On cd or album, they're brilliant, but on stage they are on a completely different level. Still making brilliant music today, and still sounding absolutely fantastic. Try The Great Escape, Gaza, Easter, Estonia or Care from their last album. You won't be disappointed

[@digibirder]

Welcome to the rapture of Marillion! I've always loved the slow jazzy vibe of "Angelina". But they've got over 40 years of material and still going...

[@MDElam]

Marillion is worth checking out in more depth. For my money, "Afraid of Sunlight" is an especially good, intense next song. They also have a song "Estonia" inspired by the tragic sinking of the ferry by the same name that is worth hearing. I don't know if they're Rush adjacent--maybe more like Genesis; that's for others to say. But I do think they're one of the more accomplished progressive rock acts.

[@Desincarne]

Ahhh thank you for responding to the email and reacting to that so quickly, that really surprised me! Glad you liked it. Be prepared for a fair few Marillion fans to leap into your comments, the fanbase is VERY passionate. If they start arguing over which lead singer was the best, slap 'em with a wet fish: it's Steve Hogarth, the guy you were just watching. A few extra recommendations for you, then: The Great Escape (Live 2013) kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKaZXatjcifn68si=cMSPhq_XG5AxU6fV The Crow And The Nightingale (Live 2023) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJO9pqqloaqAlaMsi=0p7esAs5SrSfNGKR The Space (Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2017) kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqxfoWOrcqkrM0si=kXeIgC0MUOVUbb6W Man Of A Thousand Faces (Live 2011) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3S1g4WkpLNppLMsi=eqIYBJUYi23K6k2C Easter (Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2017) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5_MdayEiqt5Y6csi=qLxt1f9dYsMsacqs

[@mikeholmes5308]

I saw Marillion open for Rush in 1986 for Rush's Power Windows tour. Didn't appreciate them as much as I should have.

[@Yesquire0]

Marillion specializes in doing an end run around your rational mind and entering your heart when you might not be expecting it. Between Steve Hogarth's incredible voice, and Steve Rothery's emotive guitar playing, and the great playing of Mark Kelly on keyboards and Pete Trewavas on bass guitar, the music of the modern version of Marillion is the most emotional I've ever heard. It was very nice to see that you "got it" on a first listen. As you can tell by now, reacting to Marillion won't get you a lot of clicks or comments. Their fan base isn't big enough, so it you decide to react to another one of their songs, that choice is going to be pretty much a labor of love on your part. I suggest one of the following two songs, with links to a live version: 1. The Great Escape - this is the true final song from a concept album, "Brave", released in 1993. It is basically a girl's suicide note sung by Hogarth in the first person. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKaZXatjcifn68 2. Ocean Cloud - Prog is famous for long form songs. This is an 18 minute epic about Sir Donald Allum, the first man to power a one-man rowboat across the Atlantic Ocean, then back to Europe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGPKhI2OptWlaMk

[@philstone3859]

Nice, It’s been a while since I’ve heard MARILLION.

[@slainteron4027]

YES!!!!!!! My favorite band next to Rush

[@frustratedhomebuyer]

Thank you so much for everything you've ever done Marillion - just a fabulous band, seen you loads in the UK. A recommendation for a new reaction video would be my other most favourite band in the whole world, anything by Pendragon - a good starter would be 'This Green And Pleasant Land' 🙂

[@analogpro7]

Marillion is one of those bands that never got “huge” but have huge music. Just like IQ and pendragon. Great stuff. Just not as well known. A shame really.

[@philipesterle6409]

So many suggestions for Marillion...my top choice would be Ocean Cloud. My second choice would be "Hotel Hobbies/That Time of the Night/Warm Wet Circles". Two different eras of the band

[@matthewlewis9424]

I didn’t see anyone recommend the song “Go!” From their show at Royal Albert Hall.

[@russellbubba]

We sent you deep down the Rush rabbit hole and now we will guide you through Marillion...and Iron Maiden.

[@hansmolders1066]

Steve Rothery is one of the most tasteful guitar players! What he does is not extremely difficult, but nobody can do it like him! You can drown in his solos...

[@PaulCatterson]

Ocean Cloud should be your next Marillion reaction. Epic in every way!

[@didididi71]

Listen to Care from Marillion You will love it

[@MadrigalDream]

Precisely the reason I am on here with YOU. Marillion is one of The Great Lost Bands - known to ONLY The Chosen Few 😍👌

[@marialange6398]

Hi, I am from Poland and I propose to You our progrock band "Riverside" and live version of "Egoist Hedonist" Woodstock 2011.

[@martijnsmid7881]

Riverside is absolutely great. The singer is fantastic and then to imagine that it’s only 4 band members producing so many wonderful progrock songs 🎉

[@JoePeddie]

Marrillon are not my favourit band , but this song is the best song i have ever heard , period

[@TheJosep70]

I preferred Fish's era, but they're still good. I was at the show they did for the Seasons End tour in Barcelona in 89, I think. They played Moving pictures twice over while we waited for the band to come out, that's how I discovered Rush.

[@MartinJones92]

Very perceptive observations at the end there - this is music you can listen to 100 times and still find something new. Incredible artistry and musicianship from this band - best kept secret in music!

[@lazarus550]

I'm beginning to see a dawning in you as you discover wonderful new bands. Marillion are a top of the tree prog band especially in the Fish era whose solo albums are all excellent. It's perhaps time you moved off your Rush love in and embraced Yes the greatest band that has graced this planet then Gabriel's Genesis then you'll understand where Rush got their influences and inspirations from.

[@mattmid7012]

Soundscape would sum up what you were saying at the end I think. I haven't heard them in years. They had a couple of chart hits in the eighties with their former lead singer. Not sure if they were hits there but there's a couple you might recognise if they did. Kayleigh and Lavender. They both came off an album called Misplaced Childhood which I have kicking about somewhere! Heart of Lothian was a good one too. Fun fact: My first ever manager at work knew the original lead singer.

[@MadrigalDream]

You want Mastery? Check out BRAVE or SEASONS END - a mere two Masterpieces in the Marillion MKII Canon 💕💕💕💕💕

[@RonnieMcNairney]

Hi Redhead 👋 👋 👋 Thanks for doing Marillion 😊 Much appreciated 👏 Try EASTER, by Marillion, from Seasons End CD. Keep Rocking 👍 Ronnie SCOTLAND 😊

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

I would predict she would adore Easter.

[@utubberize]

There is a Canadian band who idolized Rush and their sound is built around them. They are called CROWNLANDS and only 2 guys at that even Red.....Some songs these built on concept like Rush .Fearless part 1 and Stargazer part 2.....and a single called...Lady Of The Lake

[@derekpetersen7571]

I want to make sure you got my answer our red headed beauty queen I would like just type in Dan Vasc night wish the Last Ride of the day fan project that would be great I’m not going anywhere love ya I hope you see this my friend

[@Ilikeryche]

I have never heard of them. They are good but if all their songs are like this then they're a little too mellow for my taste.

[@Particulator]

Marillion's name is inspired by Tolkien's work, more precisely the Silmarillion book. I never heard them referred as Rush like but Genesis, hell yeah. This song is post Fish era. Fish is in my book a far better singer and front man with theatrical similarities to Peter Gabriel. When they started in the early 80's with their first album Script for a Jester's Tear, they we're highly popular in a short time, they were all over rock radios. Listen to the song Garden Party from that first album and you'll see why, not my favorite though. I had the pleasure to see them live in 87, what a great show it was. The third album is my favorite, Misplaced Childhood.

[@utubberize]

Marillion has been around for awhile.....sound like Pink Floyd also

[@danielrobinson5035]

you need to listen to Fish Marillion !

[@Buddha-of8fk]

A good start would be Script for a Jester's Tears with the original singer Fish.

[@EnerGeezerSquirrel]

*Excellent* Floyd imitators, amongst the best I've heard!
