Could listen to Ian talk all day. Any of them for that matter. Such good people, just amazed they aren't better known. Just glad I am part of the secret😁
Estonia is an amazing track, lyrically, musically and the drummer adds more than his share. I enjoyed this interview. There aren't enough of them! Thank you Ian.
Ian Mosley is such a solid and musical drummer. All Marillion albums are pieces of art. Together with Pete Trewavas, they are one of the best rhythm sections in progressive rock.
When i Heard that the legendary Ian Mosley from Trace was playing in a band called Marilion, I looked for the record and had a great surprise: the whole band was wonderful. Saw them in Brazil. The best live performance i saw in my life.
I’m a relatively new convert to the wonders of Marillion and to be honest in all my 60 odd years of listening to various types of music nothing has blown me away quite like it before,the whole package of the band is simply outstanding,why it’s taken so long to find you god knows I’m just so pleased I have..thank you guys I truly hope I’m able to come and see you perform live one day..
I was in my late forties in the mid-90s when I picked up a Marillion album in a Vancouver record store, having never heard of them. It was "Clutching At Straws". They've been number one since then.
I was in Paris Zenith for the first concert with H and it’s a wonderful memory for me too. Years later the concert at the Élysée Montmartre with Porcupine Tree was another great moment. Thank you Marillion !
What a thoroughly decent and down to earth bloke glad that they like playing and being together after all these years , a rare occurrence these days where very talented musicians suffer from artistic differences and someone spits their dummy out.
I saw Marillion in Montréal at le Spectrum with Steve H. I will never forget that show. Ian Mosley is a big influence on my drumming style over the years. Thanks Marillion! 🙏
Ian, a second thanks to you for signing my leather jacket with my gold pen back in 1987 outside the Carlton Highland Hotel in Edinburgh. 34 years ago but feels like it was yesterday.
I saw Marlion at the Hammersmith Odeon for the Fugazi tour. It changed my life I was a dancer in the US, and after returning, I performed your music on many stages. Few things have ever moved me so much. Thank You Immensely.
When I was Young Ian was my Favorite drummer of all. He shown me the real drumming way. How many time listening his stuff and imitate it, hitting on books, pillow etc... Dreamming one day I will have the same Yamaha drum kit. Many thanks mister Mosley for all everything you shown me in my childhood mind. Oliv from south of France.
Wow..such a down to earth fellow, could listen to Ian all day, maybe at a small pub in England 🇬🇧...good to hear he has favs from both era's of the band.. Thanks for this, and thank you Mr. Mosley for such a great interview 👏
been playing drums for igbdff years and Mr Mosley became my biggest influence after Misplaced Childhood changed my life. can't imagine how my music life would have evolved without marillion.
Oh this is just such a great idea to film these videos, I'm probably one of the youngest fans of Marillion but they've been very very special for me for years and introduced to me by my amazing dad whose taste of music has influenced my future likings
I've seen Marillion live but never met Ian in person ... but spoke to him on the phone once. Back in 2006, my brother went to see them in Krakow (if I remember correctly, it was at Wawel Castle). It was the year I moved to UK, literally few months before and I did really regret I couldn't go to this gig back then. On that evening, my phone rang and this was my brother saying he's after the gig, met the band, got the CDs signed ... and theres someone who wants to talk to me ... then passed on the phone to Ian, which I completelly didn't expect. I was so shocked that this made me speachless, because what to say if out of the blue you have your favourite drummer ( I used to play drums myself) on the other side of the phone! After hi, how are you, so glad to talk to you , as I live in Northern Ireland ... I started asking Ian something about Giant's Causeway and Marillion's "Easter" videoclip ... and at that moment I thought to myself what the hell I'm talking about and that I've just burned the conversation ... but he just started having a conversation with me, answering my question ... in a way like ... talking to a friend. The conversation did last for maybe a couple of minutes but it really was something big for me which I will never forget. Thanks Ian!
Ian has such a great feel for drumming, it seems obvious but the drums are the real backbone of band & Ian's taste & honestly his restraint is one of my favorite aspects of the band as a whole. His playing might not "grab" you the way a Phil Collins track may, but he's so respectful of the rest of the band in literally everything he does. A wonderful talent, & from personal experience, a really nice bloke.
Top bloke,it's virtually impossible to pick "the Best" Marillion song,they've done dozens of fantastic ones. I'm now looking forward to another 4 episodes of this to "complete" the series (and also to attend more gigs to add to the 6 I've already attended....what a band "live" !!)
It took me years to get over the change in the singer. Fish had such a powerful sound, and more of an angry tone. Steve H was more soft, and sad sounding. I would listen to some of the newer stuff, thinking well at least the band is Marillion so the instrumental side should be good, but the sound of the band had change and it seemed more like Peter Gabriel than Genesis. Finally I listened to the first album with Steve H and I liked it, so I'm getting back into Marillion in 2021.
Definitely the reason why I started drumming. There is so much depth in what he plays. If you have ever tried to real play Easter with all the details you know what I mean.
Ian mosley drum kit... My saying is now its nearly as big as Ian mosleys drum kit... See marillion are what we call the full package.. Unique and special.. They gel together just right.. Steve hogarth was the right choice.. It made the band complete.. Estonia brilliant Easter brilliant.. Many many hours of this special band.. They are family people good guys.. And staid in control.. Higher thinkers. This is why I love them.. Like family to me when I hear there unique sound as my older brother who passed away now would say.... There's nothing like em... Bless him... Anyway it all means a lot to me like I'm sure thousands of fans.. To.. Holidays in Eden.. Springs to mine brilliant.. Ok guy / people.. Keep smiling the sun has got his hat on.. Many thanks Devon pirate Paul stuck in Jersey Channel Islands 👍
I love how active the Marillion youtube channel has been lately. What a fantastic interview. Makes you want more! How about a series about the band's history, each album etc? :)
Ian you're an absolute gem! Such a brilliant musician - I'd always loved those absurdly powerful fills on your toms and your kit setup, and it never clicked until you mentioned the Billy Cobham influence :) I agree about FEAR - I only bought the album a couple weeks ago but think it's probably the best album I've heard in the last two years, and DEFINITELY one of your best - I think it is my favourite now (just followed by Brave). Funnily enough my plan for today was to watch your fear live at the RAH dvd, I've just popped it in now so catch you guys on the other side :D
Love this powerfull and heavy sound from this man. Never Heard a music that s so powerfull in slow tempos ! Better than Nick Mason , it s pure genius to associate power and swetness like he/ they do.
I met Ian back in the 90’s, when I saw them as a student, on the Brave tour I think, at the UEA, nice bloke, showed an interest in my studies etc..when he says Russians, does he mean white russian?
@@slainteron4027 Marillion video "from Stoke Row to Ipanema" has some footage I think. The hole concert was televised in the UK but cannot remember which channel. The actual first H performance was a low key pub gig under a false band name at a country pub in a tiny UK village called Stoke Row. But as I say Leicester was recorded so should be out there somewhere. Good luck.
Sorry to ask.But I am am Marillion fan for the last 35 years.Maybe I didn't understand it properly,but what the hell is the song "Russia"?I 'm perfectly sure I didn't hear it before.Can you help me?
@@donovanemery597 I know each word from this song and love it very much,I Though it was a different song."Clutching at Straws" is one of my favourite Marillion albums.I was 16 when I heard it first time.Thanks.
Ian Mosley, one of the most underrated drummers.
Top man, top drummer, top band!
the best drummer of all time! gud bless him! thanks to him a start to drum....
This guy really knows what matters in life and music🙏
Terribly underrated band, lovely chaps, and massive musical catalogue 🌟
Excellent drummer Ian Mosley 👍🏽🥁🇨🇷🇬🇧 cheers mate!!!
Could listen to Ian talk all day.
Any of them for that matter.

Happy birthday, mister Mosley!
Mr. Mosley, I love the ghost notes in Estonia which the entire arrangement is reaching the hearts and minds of the human being soul. Love you guys!
I was in Paris Zenith for the first concert with H and it’s a wonderful memory for me too. Years later the concert at the Élysée Montmartre with Porcupine Tree was another great moment. Thank you Marillion !
What a thoroughly decent and down to earth bloke glad that they like playing and being together after all these years , a rare occurrence these days where very talented musicians suffer from artistic differences and someone spits their dummy out.
Thank you so much - as a fellow drummer this is sublime. What a humble man.
A true gentleman and one of my biggest drum heroes

Ian Mosley, was my biggest influence as a drummer, thanks for all of the inspiration.
Lovely chap, who incidentially influenced my own drumming style and to a large degree our bands direction. Love Marillion!
This interview series was lots of fun to watch to see what the band members are about.
perfect metronome for Marillion
Such a lovely guy. A gentleman.
Saw Dr. Mosley playing "Gaza" live. A moment I will never forget.
Oh this is just such a great idea to film these videos, I'm probably one of the youngest fans of Marillion but they've been very very special for me for years and introduced to me by my amazing dad whose taste of music has influenced my future likings
I’d love to see a show with Pete showing off his bass and gear collection. All his basses, amps etc. And of course the rest of the guys too.
It's already on our list. Stay subscribed!
@@marillionofficial Cool

Uwielbiam Iana Moseley'a. Zastanawiam się, kto jeszcze miał tak elegancki styl grania? Może Ginger Baker...
Brilliant!
I am friends with Mick Pointer but when you joined the band I was soooooooooooooooo happy. You are great.
Ein sehr schönes Interview mit einem Ausnahmekönner an den Sticks!
"Estonia" ist eines der besten Stücke von Marillion, ich liebe es... 🥰
"I see that they look like 12 years old" hahahahaha! Mr. Mosley is so, so, so so, good musician that I call him the "The Invisible Drummer".
What a really nice fellow

It's "Mosley's Crew"
...best thing to ever happen to the band
Ian Mosley for president!!!
Marillion, my all time favourite band! Thank you for the music 🙏
Enjoyed this. Can we assume this is the first of five? Hope so.
Yes ..... all the band will be featured. Pete next! Available from March 1st
Hei IAN, your drumming is UBER! for me, one of the best drummers ever. your sound is unique, still today! greetz from switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
First time I've seen him speak. Seems like a nice guy.
Thanks for sharing a time with us, your fans 😉
Great nice concept! I wouldn’t mind even longer shows. Like REALLY get to know the guys. Ian seems so likeable, like a real good guy.
Marillion Forever Forever Marillion

Not the greatest complex skills BUT a hell of a quarterback! Solid throughout the decades!
Thanks Mr M.....such a nice bloke BUT the absolute backbone of the band.....and I love the ghost-strokes you weave into your playing
Definitely the reason why I started drumming. There is so much depth in what he plays. If you have ever tried to real play Easter with all the details you know what I mean.

Just finished "do I owe you money" great timing. Definitely recommend the book for fans or to drummers in general.
Lindo 😍❤️ grupo maravilhoso voz q me encanta
Brilliant, thanks guys
Who's had to go and listen to 'Estonia' again ?!?
Check out the albums of Darryl Way's Wolf with Ian Mosley on drums. For example: "Night Music" (1974)
Mosley 2024
First time I ever saw Ian in Marillion was at the Marquee Club London 1983.10.30 as Lufthansa Air Terminal
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this with us :)
You're welcome ... Pete's next ... tune in next Monday!
Lovely interview and I might just have to read Ian's book again after this 😁
Love this powerfull and heavy sound from this man. Never Heard a music that s so powerfull in slow tempos ! Better than Nick Mason , it s pure genius to associate power and swetness like he/ they do.
