Thanks for that link squonkman,
My oh my what is pete's problem,
I'm sort of starting to see why Phil gets so pissed off now,
us fans have always put Pete on a pedestal, & yet where is he when we really want him!
At least phil came back, yes granted with a couple of cheesy songs but hey we all need a toilet break! 
at least he showed his long time loyalty to us & the band.
Pete your like " the fool in the pool, who's incredibly cool"  ,
such a shame!!  |
what Peter doesn't seem to get yet, is that not all Genesis fans are necessarily Gabriel fans (the latecomers in the 80s who like the pop hits, Phil etc), but certainly all Gabriel fans are Genesis fans too. Who does he think buys his albums? He's got this hangup like he would become an "oldies" act if he "looked backward" for a bit or something. My gosh, every great artist worth his salt recognizes and celebrates their own legacies, or it become meaningless..... look at Dylan, the Stones, Neil Young, Springsteen, Roger Waters, Gilmour etc etc. Waters just got done replaying the whole Dark Side album live. If those Genesis songs are great art and MEAN something, they are worth looking backward to. If you can't commit to it Peter because you don't want to look backward, aren't you insulting or questioning your own legacy, and in the process insulting and questioning all us Genesis fans loyalty and taste in music for wanting to hear this great music live again?
Think about it......rant over.
