I think it's a good thing. They're not 100% prog but they're still a very fine rock band when you compare them to a lot of the other rock bands that are around.

If they are 4 or 5 I will spend my few bucks in a plane and see them
If they are 3 men, I rather watch The Musical Box.

I for one am thrilled at the prospect of any new Genesis material down the road, whether just the three guys or 4 or 5. Most fans probably will be really excited by the news and to compare Genesis to The Musical Box makes no sense. They are a tribute band, nothing more.

Maybe I'm the only one here who feels this way, but I'm eeriely optimistic about this possible tour and studio work from the Trio Genesis. I love the work they did together (well, most of it. Half of Abacab I could care less for), and I'm sure after a decade apart, they have a lot of ideas, influences and other things they could pool together to make for an interesting album (if they do record anything). Who knows, maybe they'll toss out another epic (if anything, Duke-Suite style or Fading Lights-like).
I will most definitely go on this tour if it hits near my area, or will die trying to get to the closest show. I'm hopeful. Give them a chance. It's been a decade, and I'm sure they've got something up their sleeves.
Also, yeah- what's this about The Musical Box's license being revoked? I wasn't aware they even NEEDED a license to perform that stuff, but I guess so if they are recreating the old shows verbatim. Any links to that news?

I know what I like and I like what I know. I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will. If I die tomorrow, I`d be alright because I believe that after we`re gone, the spirit carries on.

I wish it was the real Genesis line up would reform and not the 80s watered down imposter version. All I ask at the very least is Hackett in it, hell I'd be interested if it was just Hackett and Banks.
I still sounds like Banks and Rutherford's desire to make loads of cash defeats their desire to make some real art yet agan
It'd better if they hadn't reformed in the first place...groan..complain...moan...

No Gabriel,no Hackett= boring been there b4.Did actually enjoy it back then 20 years ago but definately not now.Cant listen to ANY post Hackett stuff.  That music hasn't aged very well,unlke the Gabriel era material.

I agree no
Gabriel no Hackett = no interest, but what I notice also is Collins
with yet another marriage break up. This reunion seems like a late
mid-life crisis to me and of no real value except to rake in some more
dosh. I've seen The Musical Box three times and they were marvellous
value, can't imagine that this proposed tour could possibly meet my
expectations and comes hot on the heels of The Musical Box having their
licence to perform revoked by Genesis. So insted of a marvellous
reenactment of everything that was good about Genesis we now have
bloody Phil Collins opening his gob again with a session drummer doing
what Collins should have stuck to, the world would have been a better
place had he never sung a note although millions of housewives
worldwide would no doubt have ended up disappointed.

While it is rather disappointing Hackett and Gabriel aren't mentioned, with the assumptions they won't be on the tour, it could still be an enjoyable show......maybe.
