Marillionboy Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeah yeah whatever. To my dying day I'll never understand why people can't mind their own sodding business. If you don't like Genesis don't buy a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Genesis Set to Reform - with Phil Collins Actually I'm not a huge Genesis fan at all (except Ray Wilson era) but from what I've gathered isnt the point that Collins will only do it if its the classic line up' date=' ie Peter Gabriel on vocals and Steve Hackett back on guitar [url']http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/4415808.stmAlso Steve Hackett was saying that for the first time in a long time Hit and Run have been contacting him, so who knows.It could be interesting, they would be doing it for the fun, none of them (well maybe Steve Hackett) need the money so it might be interesting.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like Genesis don't buy a ticket.I was going to "mind my own sodding business" until I read this. Phil Collins is a c*nt. I hope they infect the tickets to the comeback gigs (ie, the "artistically bankrupt reunion tour") with MRSA and bird flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Phil Collins is a c*nt.At least he kept his promise to leave the country in 1997, unlike Paul Daniels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Dont get me wrong, I also believe that the Phil Collins that the kids on here know has generated an awful lot of pish, but to me and many others he's the drummer with Genesis, and a bloody good one at that.

Bodast Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 "love makes sweet music, oooh"It's gonna be AWESOME! And I don't care who doesn't think so. Haha, I also read somewhere that Phil says ideally they wouldn't just be playing live, but recording new material. Hmmm... not too sure about that one.

Guest bluesxman Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 While I would love it if Phil Collins' entire musical legacy was confined to being the great drummer for Genesis when I was too young to know about it, unfortunately I had to endure when he was the whiny voiced 'singer' for Genesis who proceeded to assail us with his nauseating solo career. Is the talk of him being the drummer? Are they getting Peter Gabriel to wear the flower costume or is that the wrong line up? That would be quality. Are they each getting to include their solo stuff in the sets? Get as much Gabriel stuff in there as possible to edge out Collins.You may have realised I don't like Phil Collins much.

Bodast Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 "I'm happy to sit behind the drums and let Peter (Gabriel) be the singer." So it would seem that there would be no post '75 stuff. Unless Peter sang them! Wow... Mad Man Moon... Blood on the Rooftops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Who did Genesis get to drum when Phil Collins left?They could get him in, let Peter Gabriel sing and it would be a Collins free zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of musicians who are much more succesful/wealthy who I have tremendous respect for, say Paul McCartney or Elton John. They seem like decent blokes. However, here are ten sound reasons to hate Phil Collins:1. Playing both Live Aids and feeling very pleased with himself about it.2. Playing all the instruments on the "Both Sides" album just to show off (even though he can't play guitar and his keyboard/guitar simulations were awful).3. Miami Vice4. "Discovering" world music about 15 years after Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel, and releasing a Graceland knock-off. On the plus side, that seemed to kill off his career, record sales wise, so it wasn't all bad.5. Yes, we know you played the Artful Dodger in Oliver. Stop going on about it at every available opportunity in an attempt to paint yourself as a loveable, cocney, cheeky-chappie. Beacuse you're not.6. Tarzan, although it did lead to the hilarous post-awards reaction from South Park's Trey Parker & Matt Stone ("I can't believe we lost to Phil Collins") and subsequent ridicule in South Park7. Dumping his wife by fax and shagging his nanny8. He, along with his Genesis co-horts (Gabriel excluded) bought a sizeable section of Mull. They allowed the planting of thousands of non indigenous pine trees that managed to turn the land into an acidy swamp that nothing could live off.9. The lyrics to Another Day in Paradise10.

Guest MKII Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Anyway, enough of this phil bashing...I'd prefer it if they didn't reunite at all, but if they were to, I'd hope they would include original guitarist Anthony Phillips.
