Since 1987 I have been worshipping at Rothery's feet, literally with my hands bowing on the stage just in front of him (got several guitar picks for my efforts, lol) at many concerts over the years and in different cities. He makes guitars cry and move you in ways that can't be described. The only problem is that eventually his solos end, always too soon no matter how long they are.
Steve I'm 22 stone - you're an amazing guitarist - I'm unemployed at the moment - I can possibly do lyrics - lets diet and suss things out - I am over 50 - sort of know how the world works - and not looking for money.
Love the other guys as well in case this doesn't work!
I want a DUO with Rothery & Gilmour.. THAT would be out of this world! The tone man on this clip, the phrasing! Damn!!!!!! More Rothery please and a SOLO album!! :)
I have no idea if Steve Rothery is the most technically gifted guitar player of all time . All I can say is if I had to choose my 20 favourite pieces of music ever , each and every one of them would feature a Rothery solo. The man is a genius .
between steve rothery,alex lifeson and dave gilmour they are my all time favourite guitar players.their playing can send you to a better more beautiful place, if you feel down.i have been lucky to stand right in front of steve at a marillion gig and he made it look effortless.but then the best guitarists always do.i think he is my favourite player.thanks steve for the ethereal guitar sounds that you make.
UNBELIEVABLE guitar player, who as commented, has been all but silenced w/ his talents as of late :) Please be more prevalent STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
true. I dont know if he is just tired of aproaching the guitar with the same melodic and soulfull feling, as he has been doing for most of his life, and wants to do something different.. .
if so, i hope he at least doesnt stop playing like this once in a while
There can never be enough Rothery. He should really release a solo guitar album. That said there are a fair few moments on Marillion's latest albums where he really does shine. The solo in The Other Half, for instance, is up there with his earlier lead work. I also like the way he's diversified even more. Take Fantastic Place, which contains some brilliant, fiery indie guitar lines as well as lovely, laid-back jazzy leads.
Marbles81...I havent heard so much truth coming from a mouth in years. I think if there is somebody I would like to meet face-to-face it would be Gilmour. Met H, Mosley, Rothery and Trewavas briefly in London years ago at launch of the Radiation album

When you have the guitar skills of the wonderful Fat Controller that is Mr Rothery, you can eat as many pies as you jolly well like. Steve rules OK.
