Phil Collins/Genesis-back from retirement

[Ratpat]

In an interview Phil Collins said, that he's got new material and would love to tour again in 2014.

I'd guess having Genesis play at Glasto would be a great sing/dance/fun evening- just saying....

That celebrating Knebworth event would look a more likely candidate.

Yeah nothing about Genesis there?! Just looks like Phil is getting bored sitting in his Swiss mansion and may now be ready to let the hounds of mediocrity loose on the world one last time.

I thought Collins couldn't play live anymore because his hands are knackered?

Should fit in well following U2 and The Stones.

He really has had too much free time in his Swiss mansion if that's the case

[Justiceforcedave]

I'd take Phil in an afternoon slot!

A lot of teenagers use these forums, perhaps you should keep images like that to yourself.

I can't see anywhere in the article that mentions a Genesis reunion, thank heavens.

for today's kids it's probably more "who the fuck is Phil Collins".

Lucky lucky bastards.

He's never been the same since his ex ran off with that painter & decorator............

In fairness to Phil, hes completely inoffensive and harmless at first glance.

So inoffensive and harmless that hes actually very offensive and very harmful. Sort of like Einsteins theory of relativity. It takes a while but it eventually hits you in the back of the head.

Take Easy Lover. At first it appears to be a shite 80's pop song that you'd sing on karaoke after a rake load of cheap ale. Yet only takes until the second chorus to completely invade your soul until your brain starts to make your rectum twitch from the banality of it all. It becomes a form of torture basically. Hes abusing us all with how trite and cynical his music is.

He knows exactly what hes doing. I suppose he sees it as a form of punk in a way. A form of rebellion. But hes waging a one man war against the entire human race. And then when the world tells him to fuck himself he pisses off to tax free Switzerland so we don't see any tax rebate from all the years of being rancorously sodomised.

A lot of hate coming out here for Mr Collins, but you have to hand it to him, in a period of just12 years he had out of 5 albums 4 number 1 albums and the other reached number 2, plus his time with Genesis once he had made it the Phil Collins backing band he had hit after hit. As with Simon Cowell he had an astute eye for making a successful pop career and to give a little genuine credit amongst the mediocre crap there were the odd track that rose above it such as 'In the air tonight' and 'Another day in paradise'. Boring old fart music it may be but you have to admit he was rather good at it, and even if that doesn't convince anyone that he should have at least a bit of credit, one thing you can't take away from him is that he was one of the best drummers we have ever known.

And although personally I won't be holding my breath and hoping to see him up on the rumours page, I have a wicked side of me that just would like to see him as TBC just to hear and see some of the regulars on here self combust in a rage of expletives or degenerate into gibbering wrecks at the thought of it, now that would be entertainment.
