  • Good rock version of Genesis

  • Fish was Marillion , I saw Fish solo in England in 1990 he did a ton of Marillion stuff it was great.. I just don't like the replacement singer and or the music of their new stuff. I respsect them for continuing on but it's just not the same.

  • Yes, I miss the Fish Marillion. They've done some good stuff (in my opinion) but listening to Vigil or Internal Exile fills me much more. Glorious, and what a production! Got a special place for Incommunicado. That was my GCSE solo performance piece in 1991!

  • świetny utwór, trzeba się napić i zakąsić rybkę he, he, he...

  • The song and video that got me into this band in the 1980s. Back in those days, in the midwest, you didn't get good music like this, just a lot of pop drivel. But one late night, I saw this video, went out and special ordered the "Clutching At Straws" CD (local disc store did not have it), and I was hooked.

  • uwielbiam rybke i jego incommunicado ! :-)

  • @shadowe85 al take a wild geuss was it ur dad that got u in to them lol

  • What are they shouting at the end?

    How I would love a unification of the old band, though Steve is doing a pretty well job!

  • @hamilton797 They are singing the "Gie's a bun anthem". It was sung by the audience at shows and became something of an institution. I miss this those early days so bad.

  • Fish is the best. I bet he's pretty cool to be around

  • communicado was the missing key between them at the end i guess...

  • and am 19 and know that

  • @gazzamoyes1 im 16 and i know that ;)

  • its spelt genesis u tit 

  • Giz a bun.

  • Mad about it.

  • United we rise and together we stand... where did the feeling go?

  • Marillion stopped putting out quality songs when fish left.

  • Great band a little like genisus phil colins . .just dont get bands any thing like these days .

  • @bubs101able and floyd :-)

  • Check out Steve Rothery with his one off gig with The Granmarstonberries (with original bass player Diz Minnitt) playing Comfortably Numb.

  • I liked this band when they had Tuna..

    

  • Funny, and I like it...

  • Awesome song. The Steve Hogarth Marillion doesn't ~rock~ ... This, the whole Clutching At Straws album does! I like some Marillion from Hogarth though ... Those first 3 albums are great, and Afraid Of Sunlight

  • Great song.

  • fish the one

  • THIS IS A GREAT SONG!

  • mrci j ,M M M et ça c est tout toi...Kissss

  • this was his goodbye anthem

  • I too am reminded of the Who when I hear this tune.

  • "i got an alergy to perrier , daylight and responsibility"

    Fish Lyrics always were the best - classic band....timeless

  • I don't love this song so much... It's reminds me Phil Collins's more comercial stuff (at least in Genesis)

  • @stillofthenightcl I think it was the pressure from the rest of the band at the time to come out with something more "lighthearted", which was probably the reason for this song's existence. this clash of musical ideals and differences also led to Fish's ultimate departure... but even this song is much better than almost anything Phil has ever done lyrically (except for perhaps "In the Air Tonight" which I have to admit was quite compelling for a top 40 song!)

  • fish, one of the most colorful and original singers ever

  • Yeahhhh!!!!! temazoooooo..Master!!!

  • Does this remind anyone else of The Who's Bellboy?

  • Grandeeeeee Fish....¡

  • want to have his jacket^^ lovly song <3

  • it me life

  • I always get a kick out of Fish dressing as a tin of shortbread biscuits for the Clutching at Straw videos.

  • In this video "Fish" reminds me of an actor from "How I met your mother".

    Thanks for this video.

  • fish is the best

  • I would love to go to Madame Tussaud's and have a wax figure of Fish sing Incommunicado to me...

  • men,zyn,moeilyk,met,hun,gedrag­,kwamen,jullie,niet,van,mars,i­k,liet,me,emotioneel,gaan,ik,z­al,listen,to,music

  • 3:19.....perfect!!!!!

  • the keyboards´song remembers supper´s ready

  • Unfortunately too many people I knew confused them with Genesis. Shame really, they stood on their own just fine...

  • @TheGreatWhiteHead They started as a Genesis cover band and were superb at it. You're right too, they completely stand on their own.

  • Killer synth riff.

  • Love Fish's Scottish sensibilities

  • 2:28 - 2:32, best part ever! love fish so much!

  • Yea it's weird w/ them,as though this is an alt version of the world. Marillion shoulda/coulda been HUGE. This is one reality that created poor results. Some bands need to have their selves intact. i could go on but we know who they are. It's not that their bad just hugely different than before esp the SINGER! Odd the singer looks like he should be the drummer. The keys man looks like the singer. Oh well at least we have the memories of Marillion Pt 1.

  • why did fish leave marillion???

  • @mathov7 Cauese he was permanently stoned

  • They need to get Fish back in and do a final tour come on guys sort it out!!!

  • Get up there Fish! fukin have it!

  • How much fun they would have had being a band in the 80's :)

  • Damn I miss Fish in this band...

  • @MrHellstorm not as much as me dude...

  • fish is a nice guy, met him in germany, lübeck, really nice guy.

  • When I listen this song for first time I did think that was PHIL COLLINS, is very similar voice and style

  • Hahahaha - the old Marquee club. Saw Marillion there several times.

    My old friend Sarah is jumping up and down in the front row of this video-happy days!

  • Surely this is about as good as it gets. I have always loved this song, still do. It still amuses me the concept of subtitling the Scots guys on the vid. Priceless.

  • Fish is a geniush

  • Gie's a bun! Ah brings back memories

  • I love this - the classic Marillion sound, with a mainstream feel to it. Had they captured this more often, they'd have been UNSTOPPABLE!!!

  • @azapro911 I saw them 6 times in the 80's - by far and away the best live act. So much energy in those days.

  • @7zzzzzzz I agree that Marillion had more energy with the charismatic Fish at the helm. But I think that some people are too judgemental of Hogarth. He came in to aid the band because of a situation that wasn't any of his doing.

  • @azapro911 Also true... They are really two different bands

  • @7zzzzzzz Agreed. Hogarth has since admitted that had they changed their name at the start, then their image would have been different, and some of their songs might have been quite successful.

  • @azapro911 They totally alienated me with Holidays in Eden. I then lost track of them and the next thing I heard was This Strange Engine - also poor. Recently I've made the effort to check out the rest of the Hogarth catalog and I do like a lot of it.

    What really gets to me is hearing the Fish demos for what become Seasons end. That may just have turned into their best album if he had stayed. Although both Marillion and Fish have good material since the split neither IMHO got better.

  • @7zzzzzzz Marillion were badly handled by their US label. I've always felt that Kayleigh, Lavender and Incommunicado SHOULD have been big hits in the States. But it all got screwed up, and an exhaustive tour of America didn't help any. Flashes of awesome potential just went wasted. Irritating.

  • @azapro911 I have been saying that for 25 years.Thanks for getting it azapro911!!..But Capitol @ the time put their money on Poison and those lame hairbands!! What a farce!!

  • to prawie tak jak pan prezes kaczynski

  • does anybody know how tall he is?

  • @polishranger

    coś koło 202 cm, przynajmniej tak piszą w biografii którą mam.

  • the singer is damn ugly but the music is really awesome

  • @DasKevKev "Fish" and "damn ugly" just can't be on the same sentence. Fish rules, you suck.

  • @gizlivadi8013 =D, i guess you`re right but he is ugly, but he still a great singer :-D

  • @DasKevKev Hmm, maybe he is in this video cos in the beggining he's dressed up and all, but I normally don't think he's ugly, he's pretty normal to me.

  • @gizlivadi8013 maybe he´s not ugly but he´s not the prettiest guy :D But the music still awesome :D

  • one of the best songs ever - hall of fame

  • I'll be the first to admit that a lot of Marillion's output (particularly with Fish) was very British, and wouldn't have sold well in America (Heart of Lothian, anyone?) But I cannot figure out for the life of me why Incommunicado wasn't at least a minor hit in the States. Kayleigh and Lavender deserved more attention as well (though Kayleigh did reach the Billboard).

  • @azapro911 ,what the US rednecks know about music?

  • @aaihman The strange thing is that Marillion does have a cult following in the States - and they're VERY dedicated as well!

  • long life to marillion

    

  • This is reallly an ode not to the romantics, not to those who have broken hearts,it's an ode to the drunk... I always end like that incommunicado... love Marillion with the Fish not that pseudo faggot who become next...

  • =) im forming a band and the drummer in my band is the son of steven rothery-michael, or one of his nicknames, moose, is awesome

  • They should have been HUUUUUGE in America!!!! They were the best band in the world with Fish! Long live Marillion!

  • @tomshea69

    True, a very special group and, as you state, Fish was (is) a great singer/lyrics writer. But I really like his first solo album even better! I think this is his best tunes ever!!!

  • @tomshea69 I have been telling my friend for that forever!!..

  • Incommunicado!! IncommunicaDO!! Incommunicadoooo! Its the only way...!

  • Comment removed

  • Marillion without Fish = not Marillion.

    Everything that was ever interesting about the band lyrically was down to him.

  • a 1:05 Fish kinda looks like Steven Segal

  • @DIYJewelrySupply Agreed, im suprised I never saw the similarity before... then again only one of them is talented haha.

  • The keyboards artillery is even greater than that used by Wakeman

  • Such amazing energy in this band! Takes me back to the 80s!

  • How do videos always make the Marquee look ten times larger than it really was?

  • @Bohsbloke

    Very funny and true. I saw a number of shows at the Marquee when I briefly lived in London in 81-82. I certainly remember it being a pretty modest sized club.

  • genial

  • This song makes me want to go and run a marathon! Respect to Marillion - it's a shame Fish departed!

  • rofl........ it's Rab C Nesbitts wee brother lmao

  • This is great stuff then and still. Its awesome watching all the vids too!!

  • la canzone più brutta di CLutching il resto è tutto ottimo

  • So kitch so good =D

  • tylko fish tworzył atmosferę na koncercie

  • you can't beat fish for lyrics

  • Very good!!!

  • someone can answear >? there's another band with the same name ? because i only knew the other singer...

  • Dammit they cut the beginning with the crazy guitar!!

  • Clutching At Straws..... This album deeply describes my alcholism for the last 15 years... G-d praise Fish and Marillion....

  • Nevertheless and whatsoever - this is a very fine video. They break up shortly after. Thats' that.

  • always loved this video, fish is a hoot in it.

  • ♫ ♪ Ace song from 1987 ♫ ♪

  • i suppose i'm one of those ♫ ♪ marillion ♫ ♪ fans who only liked the fish era of ♫ ♪ marillion ♫ ♪

    i collected all their albums when he was the frontman.i saw the new singer steve performing hooks in you on totp and thought 'nah!' i've buried my prejudice now

    and in reverence have put my marillion album trumps on ebay which features all 28 ♫ ♪ marillion♫ ♪ albums and an a full and accurate account of their uk chart performance....enjoy!

  • @yuryiodizadebee

    NO Fish. No marillion I say .

  • My God this guy could fairly pen an ace lyric or four...

  • top banana

  • marillion was so much better there than now. fish is still great, but i still wish he released at least a couple more albums with marillion

  • @sorahearts325 I agree with your post. I think Fish should have broken away and done a solo album..then come back a couple years later and done another marillion album. Tensions were so high in the band in '87-'88 Fish had to break away irregardless. There is a 2-disc remaster of "Clutching at Straws" which contains B-sides..this could have been part of the new material with Fish & marillion. Some songs were reworked for "Season's End" and a few of Fish's solo works.

  • Behind all the smiles..there was trouble at mill! Wonderful track from a very polished album..Fish and the boys at the very top of their game.

  • Wow , Havn't heard this in 20 years. Not making comparisons to anyone but man, I never realized how much this sounded like a song off of Quadropheonia. Great stuff. I wish the airwaves today could come back to this type of music.

  • It's the only way...

  • good, but his voice was purer in the bay city rollers

  • This doesn't sound like Genesis!

    Get a grip...

  • @pataisias Fish never wanted to be anything other than himself, listen to some of his lyrics before you comment xXx

  • Fish is a much more introspective person than the rest of Marillion, or even Hackett, he prefers to explore himself with his music. That was obvious from their first album, the songs "The Web" and "Script" clearly demonstrate this.

  • i shall always love fish xxxxxxxxxxx

  • fish forever

  • What a fanntastic energi!! Fish is a god on song!!

    Marillion rules!

  • It sounds obvious Fish didn't want to become a sell-out...touring stadiums. The whole "Clutching At Straws" dealt with the success of "Misplaced Childhood" and its excesses.

  • autobiographical song

  • Fastest rock song I ever heard!

  • I agree that Fish made Marillion, I also believe him to be the best contemporary lyricist of our age. No need to slate the lad who has replaced him though, slate the underhanded remaining members.

  • "Underhanded remaining members"? What did they do, other than choose to go on without a singer who couldn't stop drinking at the time and clearly wasn't on the same page. Even Fish would admit that.

  • Without Fish Marillion still performs well but it isn't the same.

  • dressed like some demented bay city roller pervert

  • ...he's Scottish fer fookes sake...and probably to look stupid in that bar scene

  • Where would Marillion be without key boards?

  • I stopped caring about Marillion once Fish left the band. They should at least change the name as to not confuse with the awesome sounding Marillion that were the 80s to the pile of sleepy boring turd that is the now with Hogarth. Yes less is more, less shit that is. Less shit still makes it shit in the end. This stripped down Marillion is a joke and the singer has got to go, they have less balls because of him and aren't considered prog rock anymore. More like ambient music for pensioners.

  • you are soooooooooo right... The "new" Marillion i so much shit... thanks God there are people in this world who think like I do. Thank you!

  • You're wrong and you're obviously stuck in 1987. Do you wear the same clothes you did then? Why is it so impermissible for a band to deviate from its original sound in almost 30 years? I'm sorry Marillion has left you and "zone" (perfect name, since he, too, seems stuck in one) behind.

  • classic song never forget first time i heard it

  • fish at his lyrical best...... "I'm a citizen of legoland"...... awesome so glad I found them again..... can't actually belive I lost them.

  • I try to figure it out

    When Marillion fold apart then, ah so

    My wild guess is Incommunicado

    Beautiful song as is, there is a point in it

    Trying to reach and be alone same time

    Check it please

  • i always thought fish should be a dr. who.

  • good job

  • Incommunicado and 'Clutching at Straws' will always be my favourite Marillion album because of Fish's phenomenal lyrics that touch the heart of my alcoholism, my divorce and the separation from my children.........

  • Rest in peace the Marquee club. Marillion played there over twenty times. A great venue with an incredibly sticky floor! They also recorded "Script" there.

  • Fish and Hogarth equally as awesome!

  • chanson génial et clip génial !

  • I was jammin' to this song in 1988 when a band at Penn State used to play this amazing tune!!!!

  • I think, fish and hogarth should both sing in the band!!!!marillion rules!!!only MAIDEN reaches the Quality of this stuff

  • Only Maiden???

  • spettacolo!!!! nn li ascoltavo da trp tempo!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, I know Fish has worked with Tony Banks, but, boy does this speak of Genesis.

  • After Phil Collins left Genesis Fish was offered the job, but turned it down...I love this song..Peace..

  • I can see why.

  • Is that true??

  • Yes, It is true but Fish wanted a solo career....

  • I would have gone to see that... Hopefully Fish is still sober

  • I think he has slowed down his booze intake, which is a great start...

  • Marillion is one of the greatest bands ever.

    Extraordinarios!

  • Progressive is good for rocking! Marrilion are legends!

  • Comment removed

  • .... laundrette anononymity,,,,,,,

  • But I don't want wanna be the front page interview.... I don't want laundrette interview....

  • no....come on, Fish is by far a greater singer then Phil Collins!!!! looks a bit like Gerard Depardiue

    but I love him in anyway!! on any song!
