I know most of you are probably getting tired of the "Genesis Reunion" forums. But I am a little confused at the moment.
I just read a tiny little news article in the Nov. issue of Classic Rock magazine.
The article reads as follows:
"According to the Sunday Mirror, former Genesis vocalist Peter Gabriel has decided to sit out a "money-spinning" reunion tour with the band.
Gabriel's schedule is booked until 2008, but vocalist/drummer Phil Collins, guitarist Steve Hackett, bassist Mike Rutherford and keyboard player Tony Banks want to get things moving by next summer. Phil Collins tells Classic Rock more next issue"
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Genesis were going out as a threesome and bringing in someone else to do the guitar work?
Am I missing something here? |
Following one Google search on 'Genesis re-union 2007' I even saw one ticket agency using an 'up to date' picture of Banks, Collins, GABRIEL, HACKETT, & Rutherord to promote this great event.
Funnily enough I was listening to the BBC World Servive this morning - had to be up really early - and there was a report about politicians who never live up to the expectations laid down by their predecessors. Numerous US presidents were mentioned as well as Thatcher and John Major. The reported then said "I'm in Helsinki, and there are posters for a Genesis concert everywhere I look. Now, one could say that Phil Collins was never able to match up to his predecessor Peter Gabriel. Another good example" To which the studio presenter replied, "Of course another way of looking at it, is that Genesis were terrible which ever way you slice it"
You cant get away from the anti prog league. Even at 4.30 am on BBC radio...

Who the hell are those two??
Anyway, I think they would be better off singing Collins' solo pop-hits... at least as pop-hits go, they are better than Genesis' post-abacab.
Or they should just open an bank account where fans can contribute so the three venerable men can pay their energy bills...

OMG! The reunion is specific to making money. With the listed line-up, what music do you think they'll play to draw the biggest crowds, thus make the most money? I highly doubt "Harold the Barrel" will be in the setlist. I won't be attending this charade of a show.

I somewhat enjoy the easy-listening Collins era Genesis

I really don't see how a Genesis reunion could work with Gabriel - simply because that horrible poison dwarf Collins would be threatening to emerge from behind the drumkit in all his tracksuit bottomed, sweat band clad glory at any time. I would love to see a Genesis reunion where Collins isn't actually there at all. I mean, surely he's to busy scoring trite power ballads for Disney films?

In 1982 in Italy they almost kicked them out of the stage for playing "who dunnit" or "keep it dark". Until they HAD TO play Supper's ready. Can you imagine what would happen at the Rome concert at the Colosseum? OK; here's the deal. I live in Barcelona; they are not coming to Spain and anyway the Rome concert will be fantastic as far as stage and audience are concerned (there were 800,000 people for Paul Macca three years ago). So I'm buying a holiday for my family, three plane tickets and hotels. I'm going to camp somewhere on the asphalt from morning to night, with 35 degrees, risking divorce. And then they come out and start their concert with Mama, and followed by Land of Confusion... man, THAT'S a nightmare!

That's why print media is going the way of the horse and buggy. It's slow. The Nov issue deadline was probably before the latest announcement from Genesis. No Hackett; I'm not the slightest bit interested. I would prefer Gabriel too but with Steve I'd see them if I could. I had a nightmare where I was at a Genesis reunion concert and they opened with Sussudio. It would be cool if when and if they played The Knife, Ant came out for that. I suppose that would only be the London show though.
