  • Thanks for that, I like these things.


    I think we take a lot for granted, certainly I do. Peter was 20 when this came out, and I presume the others were a very similar age.


    How on earth did they get so good so fast? I'm sure they practiced and all that, but this is ridiculous. Plus the writing of course...


    I love this album, I actually prefer it to NC. I know it's not technically their first album, but that's how I think of it. And to arrive with this, and songs like the Knife, still blows my mind.

    They were really special, even when they were that young :thumbup:

    I always wonder why Peter didn't revisit his past with Genesis a bit more. I hope he'll throw in a Genesis track during the upcoming tour.

  • Wait, he has never heard The Knife but he has a Spot The Pigeon poster ?

    That's funny.

    Of course everyone has some albums and songs, considered as "classic ones" that we have not heard yet (personally I know Yes, and their Tormato and 90125 albums, and a few other well-known songs, but I know I still have to listen to Tales From Topographic Ocean, Close To The Edge, etc, because I don't know them. Same for the Beatles or the Stones, I still don't know all of their songs.)

    Yeah, I was wondering about that....^^. He also has PG3 poster, so it's not like he doesn't know who he is.

  • I'd love it. But he hasn't done it for decades and so I don't suppose he's going to start now, especially now he'll have an even bigger solo career to choose from.

    I'm usually hyper-cautious about this sort of stuff but this time I feel it's not inconceivable.

    Abandon all reason

  • I'm all for a bit of wild speculation :)

    We do know that he considered doing a bit of Supper's Ready for a previous tour and the rest of the band was less enthusiastic. So while a low chance, not impossible. There was also that one-off where he sang the intro to Dancing With the Moonlit Knight on the tour with Sting - sounded very good.

  • Today, his reaction video was for 'Stagnation'
