Humour - Lines You Would Never Hear From A Member Of Genesis

All/anyone: "Tony immediately backed down and accepted everyone's point of view"

Hackett: "It's a nice thought but frankly I'd be amazed if John Lennon had even heard of Genesis"

Collins: Some of our more idiosyncratic lyrics are my favourites. I love the mention of "breadbin" in All In a Mouse's Night. And I'm totally into the lyrics for Abacab.

Rutherford: I still remember all the alternative tunings for my 12-string parts.

Quote from Dr. John

Collins: Some of our more idiosyncratic lyrics are my favourites. I love the mention of "breadbin" in All In a Mouse's Night.

Beat me to it. Mne would've been "I always excitedly looked forward to a new set of lyrics from Tony."

PG: "Before I talk about the new album, and the whole extra album already in the can for release in 6 months time, I want to spend a couple of hours going over exactly what I was getting at on The Lamb".

Rutherford: "I'm always told I explain things slowly and very clearly"

Hackett: "Look, just pipe down about Lennon. I want to focus on taking my adventurous new groundbreaking album out on tour"

Mike: "In the 80s, we would just sit in awe and listen to every new Marillion album before we even attempted writing our own songs. We learned so much from them, they were one of our main influences, and they still are for what I currently do with the Mechanics. I wished they knew of us, sadly they don't even seem to have heard of us."

Steve- ‘I was never sure about After the Ordeal, but Tony said, “ I’ll just go with whatever you guys want”.

Tony- ‘Anyone fancy a go on the keyboards?’

Mike- ‘No you guys go ahead, I’m going to stay here and sort out these arrangements for the tour, can’t leave it all to Daryl.’

Peter - ‘Come on lads, we need to crack on with this.’

Steve- ‘What’s my new album like? Well, it’s quite good I suppose.’

Ant- ‘I’ve found a load of tapes in the attic, don’t suppose I’ll ever release them…’

Phil - ‘ and then Jimmy Page said, ‘Don’t think you quite nailed it for us at Live Aid Phil.’ How we laughed.’

Phil- ‘ and then Macca said, ‘Our Phil’s a bit of a fan.’ How we laughed …..

Phil - ‘ and then George said ‘is that the best you can do with that tambourine?’ Etc etc
