Marillion became a completely different band once Fish left ... I'm with Glen on this, 'Vigil ...' is a far better album than 'Seasons ...'. That said, I love 'Holidays In Eden' and 'Brave', and I've seen the Hogarth-fronted band a couple of times ... they're just not 'Marillion' anymore (for me, at least) ... they hardly ever play any of the Fish-era material now, and those are the songs that put the band on the map ...

 

I saw the Hogarth fronted Marillion on the Seasons End tour. He was OK, but as you say it was basically a different band without Fish. I didnt really bother after that.

 

I still rate the band as musicians, but the life and blood of that band was Fish, and of course the amazing lyrics from the early albums.

 

Having said that I only own Vigil from Fish's solo career. The last album was decent and a hark back to the old Marillion sound in places, but it was pretty dark and didnt grab me as I would have liked.

 

He was still superb on his acoustic tour tho - and the gig at Riga was one of the best i've witnessed....from any band/artist. Mesmerising.

 

 

I love some of Fish's lyrics - songs like 'Slainte Mhath', 'Script ...', pretty much the whole of the second half of 'Misplaced Childhood' ... 'Pilgrim's Address' ... 'Vigil' ... 'The Company' ... I'll stop now :)

 

'Raingods With Zippos' and 'Sunsets On Empire' are both cracking albums, and well worth repeated listens.

 

You're right about the Riga gig ... absolutely superb ... let's hope he does another tour like that!

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
