Speaking of Genesis, I can’t even bear to watch the recent videos of Phil Collins on tour.
I’m glad at least he’s making a go of it, but it’s still heartbreaking to see the state he’s in not able to play the drums anymore.
I couldn’t even bear to watch the first videos of Phil Collins! I certainly enjoyed his drumming with Genesis, and his tambourine dance in his early lead vocalist years was fun. I also liked some of their storywork just after Gabriel left, but ever since There Used to Be Five...I mean, Now There Are Three, I have had little interest.
I unfortunately got away from Steve Hackett at the same time, but since seeing him three times the past three years, I am pretty much full-fledged gonzo. Saw him in October bringing back Selling England by the Pound and my first comment after the show was “Why didn’t I like that much when it first came out?” I did later, but it was even better live.
As for Phil, I knew he quit drumming...thought he quit all. I certainly respect his talent and liked some of his stuff, but there was always something off about him that I could never identify.
