My Take
As a quiet admirer of progressive rock, I have huge respect for Steve Rothery. Being the original and longest-serving guitarist in Marillion is no small thing, and what I value most is his restraint. He plays singing, emotional lines rather than showing off speed, which is far harder to do well. His solo work, including the Chernobyl-inspired Ghosts of Pripyat, shows an artist still chasing feeling, and founding a guitar academy proves he wants to pass the craft on. From a small English town to stages worldwide, he is the kind of musician I would happily applaud in silence.
