Gabriel’s first Number 1 hit in the US.

And who did he replace at Number 1? His former band, Genesis’ “Invisible Touch.”

Great vid. Most of his more popular vids were pretty out there and very well done. Still watch them regularly on the Tube. Shock the Monkey is still my fav, tho’. d:^)

The most creative video I ever saw.

I think it started the decline of MTV simply because the producers of videos really couldn’t do much better. That video set the bar so high that it was basically over.

Genesis started to suck once Gabriel got too big a head and pushed "Lamb..." It was a much better band prior to Lamb and for the following two albums after he left. The core always was Banks, Rutherford, Collins and the much underrated and supremely talented Hackett.

For those who miss "Knife Edge/Tresspass" era Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULxCQkPEx6g

The video that launched my brief adolescent obsession with animation.

Many a bad flipbook, and corny stop motion animation, was created thanks to him.

Firth of Fifth guitar solo

It looks like he's playing the same Les Paul he had back in the late 70s.

Hackett years were the best. He is the only one still carrying the Genesis torch. Saw him 6th row center last month on his current tour. New album out this month.Check his website and recent youtube videos!!! Who is this Gabriel person of who you speak? Where is he today?

Thanks for the link. You don't throw away a Strad just because it's old.
