Fish left Marillion why?

   I don't know if he drank due to the situation in Marillion.  My dad didn't drink because I was an asshole, he drank because HE was an asshole.  Maybe that's not exactly what you meant, but if it is, I don't think the alcohol abuse can be laid on the others in the band.  At the end of the day we're all responsible for our won actions. Fish paid the price for his.

	His bad drinking habits were due to a gradually impossible way of working within Marillion. Just ask dr. Sigmund Freud how an alcoholic always succeeds to create conflicts and always thinks that "the other is wrong", in my opinion he was a real jerk in those days, he wanted to control everything, was paranoid, egocentric and emotional instable, the other members hated him in the end so a break was the best solution ..

	Fish didn't leave Marillion, Marillion left Fish. After Clutching at Straws his substance abuse had gotten so out of hand that the band felt he was becoming a liability (bad shows, unreliable at intervierws, etc.) The basically fired him after the '87 tour.

	I was watching "Recital of the script" yesterday. What a brilliant frontman he was! Just watching his performance of "Forgotten Sons" makes you realize how great he truly was! I suppose as an artist he wanted to evolve and he wasn´t given room to do that?

	I always wondered why this happened. I thought the sound of the band went south after he left. He gutteral angst was gone. Did he not get along with one of the members? Creative differences?
