I can never see Peter Gabriel rejoining Genesis, but I would not be surprised if at some point Steve rejoined even if just to record a one off song.

To be honest with you, I now believe that Peter Gabriel did much better when he left Genesis for his solo career! People know him for his solo career and it also inspired him to create the charitable organization "Whitness." So why would he rejoin Genesis anyways?

Anyone smell careers going down the tubes , and money. Rather than giving the fans a real re-union. After all, Collins has to pay for another divorce settlement.

The first and last word from me on the subject - no PG or SH, no show.

Very simply put, Peter Gabriel has continued to grow, expand, and move away from his role as singer of Genesis. He's very busy and has lots of interests. I'm sure we can all relate to no longer enjoying things we did when we were younger. If you are young, then think of no longer enjoying things as a kid, baby, etc. It shouldn't be that hard to understand him. He probably also doesn't think a Genesis show in the present day would be on the same level (and have the same atmosphere) as in the glory days.
Do you think it would make sense for him to be on stage and force his way through it if he wasn't really interested in it, just because fans demand it?
I'd love to see a true reunion (with him and Hackett) just as much as anyone else, but we really need to come down to reality, and move on. There's no point bashing our heads against a brick wall. That wall isn't going to move...

There is a lot of venom and spite in this thread. Just thought I'd state that.

If Gabriel wanted this he would do it but I suspect he wants Steve Hackett there.What you have to realise is that many uncalled comments from the remaining three caused harm.And the remaining three produced pop Genesis.Enough said.

The main point is, all of them should move on with their life like PG did, phil collins retired anyway. Phil will become the next Cher!

I think there should be a seance during which John Bonham is brought back from the dead and then have a blowout Led Zeppelin reunion tour of the world.

I had tickets to see Led Zeppelin in Montreal and Bonham died days before the show.

I didn`t know that they were actually selling tickets but my girlfriend at the time had a bootleg t-shirt for the Montreal show. I thought it was only rumours they were coming to the Big O.

I had the same tickets for the Toronto concert just a few days after. That cancelling meant I would never see them live!!
Toronto was never a successful place for Zep. They got booed off the stage opening for Vanilla Fudge in 69.
Plant had major vocal problems in 73 (Page is rumoured to have sung part of the tracks >> but I was not there to see it) and Page had cut his hand in 76 and played crap after it .

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? |
Honestly, I feel they should have had the reunion back around 1993. Or not too long after the success of We Can't Dance, or somewhere inbetween that and Calling All Stations. Some have aged well, some haven't. True, it wouldn't be a "true" reunion without Gabriel & Hackett. As much as I love them and their music, I don't think they should have had this reunion. And Gabriel should stop being such a musical snob.
