Ever since the beginning of Genesis, Phil Collins hated Peter and everyday he sat behind his drums plotting the best way to get rid him.  He studied Magick and spoke often with Satan Himself and planned out how to finally rid the band of PG.  Finally, Satan sold Phil a special syrum in exchange for his soul and musical creativity.  Late one night, Phil snuck into where Peter was sleeping and put a drop of the evil syrum in his ear.  The very next day, Peter up and quit the band.  No one knows the true story except Phil, Satan, and me. 

That's how it happened.

Actually none of that is true.  I like phil.  PG just wanted to go in a different direction musically.

Thanks for mentioning me...

And, just in case you were wondering... Phil is my son, the anti-christ!



Kidding. I'm not satan (just thought I should clear that up...), Phil's OK and Gabriel was and still is a GENIUS.

I believe he became disenchanted around the time of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway when he was asked to write the music for a film, I think by William Friedkin, and the rest of the band weren't too happy about him taking time out. He continued with the band on condition that he wrote all the lyrics to Lamb, then left shortly afterwards. I don't suppose that was the sole reason.

As NetsNJFan said, read the lyrics to Solsbury Hill - "I was feeling part of the scenery, I walked right out of the machinery".

chopper's the nearest..

Friedkin wanted Gabriel to work on a film project with him, as a writer NOT a musician. The director had read the short story on the back of the 1973 live album and loved the imagery..

Apart from that, the band started to get fed up with the medias focus on Gabriels theatrics. The Slipperman costume was the last straw. Gabriel felt the bands opposition to what he was doing and was also becoming uncomfatable with the spotlight being on him all the time. He announced his departure during the tour and played his last concert in France. He apparently played the Last Post on his oboe before going on stage that night, and nearly had everyone in tears before going on..

This all makes sense, except for the fact that Collins wasn't in the band in the beginning! not even in the second album, he only stepped in around "Nursery Cryme"...

One argument: He wouldn't characterize all these different characters on stage any more (remember the masquerade of Genesis live), he was actually becoming mad because of that. But that wasn't the main reason, he just wanted to end it and start a solo carrer, read the lyrics of Solsbury Hill to make some things clear.

He was also into all that spiritual stuff, and he thought Genesis was not the right medium to express his new spirituality.

Wow. Where do some of you get your information?

The Lamb project took a huge toll on Peter because he was a new father.  He was driving like 4 hours each way to the studio and the rest of the band didn't understand what he was really going through.  On top of that there was the Friedkan issue but that wasn't the main one.  He announced he was leaving at the begining of the Lamb tour so the band knew it for quite some time before the public did. He felt like the press were putting him in a box and giving him all the credit for Genesis.  Yes other members of the band resented that but he himself felt bad about it. 

BTW Tony Banks really tried to talk him out of quitting being his best friend in the band.  Peter was adamant about moving his carrer into a different direction than where Genesis was going and the rest is history as they say. There was no bad blood between any of them.
