Rockers Genesis plan reunion tour:

Collins left the band in 1996 to pursue solo projects
Rock veterans Genesis are to reform, 10 years after frontman Phil Collins left.
Collins, 55, with guitarist Mike Rutherford, 56, and keyboardist Tony Banks, 56, have agreed to take part in a major tour.

Genesis sold over 130 million albums during the '70s and '80s, despite losing singer Peter Gabriel in 1975.

A spokesman said specific details of the tour and "long term plans" including possible new material would be announced in the next few weeks.

Collins had already voiced interest in a reunion before he announced his spilt from Orianne, his wife of six years, in March.


No mention of Hackett....

Hmm...  No Hackett, No Gabriel...
 
I will still be going to see that show when it comes in Montreal.  I saw the 'We Can't Dance' concert and I enjoyed it a lot.

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.

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.

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...

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?

-Marc.
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.
