Phil was the glue that basically Reigned in Tony and made sense of Mike and Tony's work and made it all work.
Without that, Tony and Mike left on their own were always in trouble and didn't even wait until they found a 3rd person or a drummer (having told Chester no thank you) to write with etc.
Huge mistake by rushing and maybe trying to prove a point. Sadly, they failed.
Even Ray said he wished he hadn't joined them at the expense of his own solo career.
Nah, that's not interesting.
lol well it is when they sell something that potentially never happned or hasn't been proved.
Kinda makes it fraud lol
I'm totally guessing, but I'd imagine they were considering a full version of Abacab for 2021. There were several songs that were rehearsed that would have given a chance for Phil and Nic to play double drums, and they were dropped from the set once they decided that Phil wasn't going to play any drums.
Its still interesting that they sold pieces of a symbol that they said Phil played in rehearsals, but there's never been any evidence or proof he ever did.
This album to me is a strange one really.
Side 1 is so strong and includes some of their best (modern work) and side 2 suffered for sure.
They also had very little extra tracks that came from this project and I believe they finished it all pretty quickly in comparison to other projects.
Phil voice was probably in its prime around this period and it would have been great to have had a few more tracks with the band created and recorded pre No Jacket and IT.
I give it an 11 for it's energy alone
Noel today saying he wants to sell his catalogue for £200m.
So this is just Noel on his own.
Now, a proper band and singer (Genesis & Phil Collins) selling their work between them for £300m.
Noel is having a laugh, & if he got that, then Genesis & Phil should immediately be sent another £400m by concord.
My memory is of PC struggling to reach "...late for her cinema show", there's a pause, followed by a conclusive sounding "Well that's that one out" type comment.
Yeah, but in reality, it was literally at the beginning of the rehearsals & I doubt Phil had seriously given it a proper attempt at that point.
A lot of songs they dropped the key for, so could have done so for a few others.
2007 would have been perfect for a few different songs inc duchess
source?
Facebook is flooded with this, but so far there has not been a confirmation ...
Edit: We have just received conformation. That is so sad
Yes, I waited for confirmation as there were too many random posts earlier on fb
Richard Macphail, former tour manager of Genesis has sadly passed today.
There is you would think, a ton of 2007 footage out there, which would be really good to see from all the rehearsals, but it's either with the documentary crew or someone is hoarding it away.
It's taken 20 odd years to get some extra bits from 1992 so.....
If Phil was gonna do new music, it would have been around 2014 when he was actually in reasonable health but sadly, hos health deteriorated pretty quickly it's seems not long after that.
Always greatful for all he has given and he deserves to rest and be as healthy as possible now.
According to Tony Smiths office, Phil is not doing any new music.
One tiny quote has ballooned into something crazy, even the mainstream media have twisted this to a crazy level.
On the plus side, I hope it shows Phil how insanely popular he actually is, even if he doesn't necessarily feel it at times.
OMG I can't believe Phil is making 3 new albums, doing a new world tour and rejoining brand X and Genesis before Christmas!
The Internet in last 24 hours 👀
Has to be more unseen out there
Yes, they did the documentary with the release of the Rome Show, but there must be hours of unreleased BTS footage someone has in their vault somewhere.
It would be awesome to see more of the footage of Phils & the groups return, deeper look into the song choices and rehearsals for those chosen and even not chosen.
We got some gems from 1992 so maybe now someone can "find" all the 2007 footage.
ever heard of this: "new Peter Gabriel studio album" ?
Lol Drumeo taking 10 years to edit their own content
