Bemerkungen


Mick Pointer bekann erst mit 19 Jahren das Schlagzeugspiel. Er hörte, dass in seiner Nachbarschaft eine Amateurband beheimatete war, die auf der Suche nach einem neuen Drummer war. Pointer selbst war glühender Rushfan und Neil Peart-Verehrer. Einige Monate später er zusammen mit dem späteren Solstice-Gitarristen Andy Glass in einer Band namens Electric Gypsy. Aus diesem Embryo sollte 1979 die Band (Sil)Marillion hervorgehen.

Der spätberufene Pointer war nicht der weltbeste Schlagzeuger, auch war eine Entwicklung seines Spiels nicht zu erkennen, so dass er im März 1983 auf Druck der EMI und auch dem der Band (hier tat sich wohl besonders Fish hervor) ausbezahlt und vor die Tür gesetzt wurde. Er spielte nie wieder Schlagzeug.

Das heißt, er spielte dann doch wieder Schlagzeug. Ab 1994 wieder um genau zu sein. Der Legende nach quatsche Pointer einen Haufen mit Marillion-Shirts bekleideter Jungs in einem McDonalds an. Man kam in?s Gespräch, einer von Ihnen hatte die Nummer von Clive Nolan und stellte den Kontakt her. Aus diesem Kontakt wurde Arena.

Die ersten zwei CDs stehen in allen Belangen ganz in der Tradition der frühen Marillion. Dies änderte sich mit dem dritten Album. Von nun an wurde der klang der Band deutlich härter. Diese Metaleinflüsse hielten sich fortan in der Musik von Arena.

Zum 25jährigen Jubiläum des Marillion Debüts ?Script for a Jester?s Tear? tourte Pointer u.a. mit Pendragons Nick Barrett mit (s)einer ?Recital of the Script?-Show durch Europa.

Seine ?neue? Band Arena wurde für erstaunlich erfolgreich. In unregelmäßigen Abständen veröffentlicht die Band um das Duo Nolan/Pointer Alben und tourt dazu über die Bühnen der Welt.
