I lived three streets away from Fish in Aylesbury, he was a genuine nice fellow. The town was right behind this band and they had built a following before this album. Their fan club was called The Web long before the internet was invented. All of these guys lived close and were very approachable. It was excellent to see this band take off where they belonged.

Clutching at Straws was also amazing. The Hogarth years had some great music as well, but never to the heights of the Fish led time.

I don't know what it is but I just can't listen to any Hogarth Marillion. I've tried but his voice is bad on my discerning ears!

my half brother used to be a big fan of marillion. since he died 2 years ago, i am listening to marillion very often and now i understand, why he was such a big fan of this music. marillions music makes me feel close to him and i remember of him singing their songs. the album misplaced childhood is a masterpiece but i guess script for a jesters tear is a little bit better (my honest opinion)! ❤ R.I.P. old brother, I love you!❤

I wonder who that was singing on the Clutching at Straw tour when I saw them in 87 and 88? An imposter? And whilst Fish’s antics are legendary, the real reason Fish left was their manager tried to steer them into a more pop direction to get more success. Something Fish didn’t actually agree with.

Exactly... Some of this commentary on this video is rubbish.. and repeats itself... Ive loved Marillion since market square heroes in 78.. But i read Their interview in Kerrang magazine in 88.. and it was that after Misplaced Childhood tour.. The band wanted a break from each other due to Fish's behaviour and ego singing over everything on tour.. but EMI money moguls and manager John Arnison forced them back into the studio for half finished Misplaced Childhood pt 2, which they changed to Clutching at straws and to churn out more pop and misplaced childhood music.. The band ended up hating fish because he wouldn't allow the music to flow.. , causing studio fighting where rothery actually left.. but did come back in the end to finish it.. and they split.. Hogarth is good, but its sad how the fish era ended.. Same as always.. Greed and money

The mangager was taking all the money, they would have broken up if he hadn't left and the band seemed happy that they weren't getting any money - odd really. Fish has explained this on his Friday shows.

@@NightOrchids I recall that they re-recorded CAS as Fish wasn’t happy with the lyrics. I went to a fan club gig at the end of 86 where they played some of the new songs; White Russian, sugar Mice and Incommunicado. The lyrics were very different to those on the album. They did release the originals on the deluxe CAS.

I was in 1st year of college and struggling with youth and adulthood. “Misplaced Childhood” and “Quadrophenia” were the two albums that captured so much of my emotional state between 17-20. This typical rock star story of the album does not take away from the reality of what this album and title song means to me and others who struggled into adulthood raging at lost childhoods and depression. One of the greatest albums ever.🌻

@AdrenochromeUK 2 ай бұрын

It was Fish who sang on Clutching at Straws, so the video statement that "By the time the Band started work on their follow-up, album Clutching at Straws - Fish was gone" is a bit misleading. I would agree that some of the later Marillion songs were good too - Easter being a personal favourite.

1989 The band's history is generally regarded in two distinct eras, separated by the departure of original lead singer Fish in late 1988 and the arrival of his replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989.

singer Fish Clutching at Straws is the fourth studio album by the British neo-prog band Marillion, released on June 22, 1987. It was the last album with lead singer Fish, who left the band in 1988, and is a concept album.

"By the time they started on 'Clutching at Straws, fish was gone..." So... who do you think sang on Clutching? When What little I know contradicts your facts, it makes me suspect the validity of the rest. That and you not being able to tell the difference between Fish and Hogarth. Fish left pretty far into the making of Clutching, hence the 6-7 half finished tracks on the deluxe editions, parts of which appear on Internal Exile and Seasons End.

I hate how the "Fish Is Marillion" crowd always trashes Steve Hogarth and his era. Personally I love what both of these front men brought to Marillion! Yes, I fell out of my chair when Fish left but the first time I heard "Season's End", I thought...hey this Steve H can really sing. It was different but definitely quite good. I doubt Marillion would still be pumping out masterpieces, if Fish was still the singer. I embraced Steve Hogarth long ago and enjoy the dark, gloomy, musical journeys they still take me on.

Misplaced introduced me to Marillion and Prog-Rock in general, and I'll be forever grateful for that. But out of the 4 studio albums from Marillion (with Fish), Misplaced Childhood is IMHO the weakest (still love it, don't get me wrong!) and also not at all dark.

Let’s be honest MARILLION are effectively a “one hit wonder” band with KAYLEIGH,it’s a great song admittedly but you ask 100 average people off the street that’s arnt diehard fans of there’s to name as many MARILLION songs as they can,I’d put money on it that probably 95 of them could only say KAYLEIGH and a few more maybe at a push could name LAVENDER,hence why they are one hit wonders,I use the “100 people off the street” analogy to always work out how many hit wonder a particular band/singer is.
