Not sure I agree, of course I don't know the guy but he has built a reputation for NOT being like that, that episode seems really out of character.
Phil can be a nice guy, but his personal life has always been messy, and does tend to have a bit of a temper and control freak problem. I respect him immensely as a singer and drummer, though.

OK, I managed to read it.
Phil just being Phil, I guess. At least Chester Thompson doesn't bear a grudge even if they aren't on speaking terms.
I can't read the article because Rolling Stone blocks all the text asking me to subscribe. What did Phil say?
Happy 70th Phil and thank you for continuing to be one of my favourite singers and people in music!
Earlier I listened to the fifth album by Kaiser Chiefs: Education, Education, Education and War. Really good album, tons of energy.
I've really got way more into the Kaiser Chiefs ever since seeing them February 1st last year. I already liked them but I've found I like them even more now. Their songs just rock along so well.
I voted for Inside and Out, The Day the Light Went Out, You Might Recall, Do the Neurotic, On the Shoreline and Anything Now. All fabulous tracks!
Deaths have been pretty horrible recently. 1,630 today in the UK. 
Happy New Year everyone! 2021 can't be any worse than the now legendarily atrocious 2020 
One of my new year's resolutions is to re-connect with older friends as much as possible! I will try to visit this forum at least once or twice a week!
Also one thing I need to make clear: While I am pleased Biden and Harris won, I still believe that they are both highly flawed candidates. I've adopted increasingly left-wing views over the years and I now consider myself a socialist. So I am not "fans" of capitalists Biden and Harris. I just think Trump is considerably worse in every way. Biden and Harris are part of the corporate Democratic establishment and the Democratic Party continues to prove that it isn't willing to become more left-wing just because their voters are shifting leftwards; they are a centre-right party and will comprise with the Republicans until the cows come home. Don't get me wrong, they will do the right thing on occasion, but all of the progressive stuff Biden campaigned on will be blocked my Mitch McTurtle and GOP-majority senate.
Why? Where has it got you, apart from maybe depressed? I didn't bother, and STILL came to exactly the same conclusion as you.
It's to be hoped that he gets his come-uppance when the tax people etc catch up with him, but frankly, if he just disappears and Brand Trump never gets near any political office ever again, I'll be quite content.
I followed it out of sheer morbid fascination and interest. It was such a crazy roller-coaster ride. So many twists and turns, and it just got crazier and crazier. Also I have a degree in American Studies and Media so I'm naturally fascinated by American affairs.
I'd like to add, that I followed everything about Trump since 2017. Every imbecilic tweet, every scandal, every antic, every lie, every insane moment, every unconstitutional disgrace, every psychopathic crime against humanity. Trump is the worst leader of any country in modern history and these last four years have aged me. And I'm not even American! This whole presidency was like an extremely moronic reality TV show that transformed into a multi-layered political crime drama, there were so many times when I had to question reality. So many characters too... Stormy Daniels, The Mooch, William Barr, Kavanaugh...
Congratulations to Joseph R. Biden, the 46th President of the United States!
Good to see Biden is very close to a win, although it's a shame the Dems once again failed to gain to Senate.
Re-electing Susan Collins in Maine is just indefensible.
What a giant of hard rock. R.I.P. Eddie.
Has anyone here seen the modeling for COVID from the Imperial College?
It's possible this tour won't happen in 2020.
That would be very ironic - they finally decide to do a tour, and it gets postponed, even cancelled.
The reduction in deaths today made me happy, however, every time I've said "we've hit the peak" there's been another spike, so I'm not jumping the gun this time.
Display MoreAnniversary Is on 28th March, all other info on the net is simply not accurate
UK: 28th March 1980
US: 29th March *
* this is not verified, but 24th is definitely wrong, as albums NEVER came out in the US before the UK
An account on Twitter said it was the anniversary yesterday, and if you Google "Duke release date" it comes up as 24th March.
A bit late starting this thread but better late than never. "Duke" is 40 years old today!
With the exception of "Misunderstanding" which I've never been a fan of, Duke is a wonderful album and its two associated B-sides "Open Door" and "Evidence of Autumn" are also very good tracks.
Duke marks the point where the progressive rock and pop/art/soft rock eras of the band intersect, and as such almost every fan can agree that it's a great record.
It's crazy how rapidly COVID-19 has spun out of control. This is a complete disaster for the world and will send us back years economically.
If any Genesis tribute could play "Man Of Our Times" I'd forever be in their debt. Sadly, I don't think any have.
