XXP - I think Cardiacs only ever supported Blur at one day long gig in Mile End Stadium in the mid nineties.

I was gonna say Beltane Fire got heckled unmercifully at the Birmingham Odeon gig on that tour, I still remember a flexidisc from the programme sailing in a gorgeous arc from the balcony to stott the singer square in the forehead

didn't they have like swords and stuff though? should have waded into the crowd and butchered their assailants

like all Scot Nats their bluster crumbled before determined resistance

never been all that into marillion but the latest fish album, a feast of unintended consequences, is pretty decent. not that it'll ever get any attention. segregation in all its forms is bad imho

to be fair marillion are absolutely nothing like those early albums now

Okay so I checked out the Marillion discogs page for the hell of it
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marillion
And Jesus H. how many albums have they released? I count something like six Christmas albums alone (though sadly almost none of them are proper Christmas albums).

Well they are a cottage industry, like Steven Wilson whose every fart and utterance has to be released as a live Blu-Ray.

Thread making me not so much want to hear Marillion as douse their fans in bovine effluent
― veneer timber (imago), Friday, 13 December 2013 15:54 (ten years ago) link
Well that would be me age 16! Sounds painful.
Marillion fans vs Cardiacs fans, maybe needs a poll.

no ones as bad as cardiacs fans

Jon Poole (ex-Cardiacs) used to refer to Grendel as Apocalypse In 4/4

lol quality zing
― wee knights of the round table (Noodle Vague), Friday, 13 December 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link
yeah the vast majority of those on discogs are fan club only releases. I think they have about 15 proper albums.

i wonder how many total votes a poll between marillion's two lead singers would get
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 13 December 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
More than a poll between their two drummers I'd wager
― bleak strategies (Matt #2), Friday, 13 December 2013 18:54 (ten years ago) link
I always thought Fish from Fishbone would be an awesome prog drummer.

They've got a new album coming out next week, and the title of it - F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R) - is probably the worst album title of the year...

You did not have to link that, and yet.

Eh, not remarkably good or bad. Whatever, I kinda like the new Isuldur's Bane with Hogarth.

DG such a sweetheart, enjoyed seeing him bopping about there, I hope he makes enough money out of music, must be difficult for a life long sidemouse.

That was a great cover, Gregory has such a great guitar tone

Who's the singer for Marillion now? He seems like he's having a good time
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 27 May 2017 12:39 (seven years ago) link
Haha, Steve Hogarth, took over in '89 iirc
