[mod ON] I would like to request everybody to step back a bit, take a deep breath and silently count to one hundred. There, that's better. [mod OFF]
Now I am not a drummer. That is why I find it quite interesting when people who know their way around the instrument discuss Phil's drumming through the years. Because I may learn a bit from that.
Phil himself said that he drums differently than thirty years ago (e.g. somewhere on the Songbook DVD and in his letter to the fans after his appearance in Geneva with The Musical Box), and just from counting the amount of things to hit in his drumkit I would think he simplified his drumming. Whether it was because he wanted to develop it in this direction or because his joints are getting stiff or because of something else I dare not judge.
Discussions about which version was used on which release and why this particular version was used are, of course, absolutely welcome, too. I must admit that that bit of Genesis knowledge does not interest me too much, but I am impressed when someone shares his knowledge about this.
All that being said, [mod ON] there is absolutely no reason to get personal. If you find you have to, please do it in a fiery e-mail to dev/nul .
Suggesting that someone is a jackass is not good style.
Suggesting someone has a "limited knowledge of Genesis" is also a bit fresh for someone who joined this forum only three weeks ago.
Let's talk about topics when we have got something to say. Let's not talk about people unless we have got something friendly to say. [mod OFF, for the time being]
