I thought this was announced with a supposed collaboration with Adele?

When Gabriel and Genesis recorded and toured The Lamb, they were in their twenties. They are now all in their sixties.
Quite why it would be an artistic success to see a balding, aging, man blasting out a story of a young Puerto Rican punk in his youth is utterly beyond me. Gabriel sees this. Why don't "classic" Genesis fans?
The five man reunion will never happen. Neither should it. We have fond, and marvellous, memories of a fantastic band.
As for Collins, I do not begrudge him anything. Good luck to him. He has brought me a lot of pleasure over the years. I did not enjoy his solo output after the exceptional Face Value, but that does not mean he has an obligation to satisfy a bunch of classic prog fans.
Also, btw, it is absolutely the case that a Genesis reunion of the three man band doing the latter day stuff would fill arenas. A reunion of anything else would maybe fill middle ranking venues. Why? Because the three man band sold records by the truckload, and was commercially successful.
Also, Gabriel's solo career has also been wonderful and very successful. Put simply, they really do not need to do anything together at all, apart from remaining good friends, which, I believe, they do.
Leave the past where it belongs. Also, allow Collins the respect he deserves. You do not have to either buy a new record, or see him doing pop. Plenty of others will, and will love every minute of it. |
Thank you Lazland, a very good post ![Star Star](smileys/smiley10.gif) Now, if only we could convince the Floyd fan boys of the same.

I am going to cry for Phil, because I can't stand this hate. Phil is the angel or even god of music, and most of you are disrespecting him on unbelievable measures. I can't believe people are so mean. ![Cry Cry](smileys/smiley19.gif) Phil WILL COME BACK with the best music of our lifetime! You people are just jealous of his good looks and voice and drumming and holiness. I think you peeps should take a lesson from this, and stop sinning. Phil is the one person who can take them all away, I promise you. You will see, and I will laugh at how silly you were. Because when its Phil in question everything's right.

Phil was a GREAT drummer in his prog-jazzy prime, which had peaked and was on the downhill after the very early 80s.....he ain't that guy anymore. This Phil is great news for the Soo-sudio/Disney crowd.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
