I am with the Nal. Phil Collins will always be a form of torture.

[Crystal Waters]

I'm not happy that I don't have a ticket for 2014 but would be a little less unhappy about it if one thing I'd miss would be a Genesis set!

[Gnomicide]

When I found out my wife liked Phil Collins, I left her.

Genesis were part of my childhood so to see them a few years ago was amazing. IF there was to be another reunion (and it would be a massive if) I think an S Club 7 reunion would fit Glastonbury better.

Oddly, I saw Steve Hackett a few weeks ago, reckon his current Genesis Revisited would fit better. Genesis themselves would expect to headline but it would never work. Hackett could come in lower down the bill, Avalon maybe?

Some Phil Collins related quotes from Noel Gallagher:

People fucking hate c**ts like Phil Collins, and if they don't — they fucking should

[The Nal]

It was the right thing to do.

Phil Collins is the musical equivalent of Top Gear. Vapid shite for middle aged Tories who think jeans and a sports jacket is cool.

[Spindles]

Exactly that.

Although I do have to rather shamefully admit a certain amount of 'like' for Mr.Collins' stuff, or at least some of it anyway and not to mention the somewhat (in)famous Bam bam bam, babam babababababam bit [ # ] of course, there's no such thing as a Genesis reunion without me old mate Mr.Gabriel coming along to the party I'm afraid Whilst Mr.C is more than a bit of a tw@t more than an OK drummer in my book, Genesis without Mr.G really isn't Genesis at all and as for Genesis with that ex-Stiltskin Wilson bloke, it was so unbelievably and embarrassingly NOT Genesis that I genuinely can't even begin to understand how anyone ever thought that it was even remotely close to being a good idea

I was very tempted by the previous reunion but for several reasons decided not to risk destroying amazing memories of the Invisible Touch Tour @ (the real ) Wembley Stadium in 1987. By almost all accounts a very good decision and all that as the gig at Twickers wasn't exactly one of the best to say the very least. However, in the (I rather sadly suspect very unlikely event) that Mr.Gabriel decides it's time to revisit the past, there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that I'll be doing whatever may be necessary in order to be there on the night !

[ # ] The Gorilla version or even better still the original and most awesome Miami Vice version being the absolute best of course. The Gorilla kinda fails as the track is so obviously edited but the original Miami Vice 'fast cars and drum p0rN' version is so d@mn good that I just couldn't resist the urge to take a wee break from typing and wander over to Mr.Youtube for a li'l 'personal' moment

Back in the early 80s In The Air Tonight was a refreshing bit of something different, but since then it's been copied and ripped off uproariously by anybody who's ever shared a room with a drum machine and a synth, and now it just sounds like every other bit of dross. And I really can't take Phil's whiney voice any more - his drumming was fine, but as noted, he doesn't drum any more since an operation on his neck badly affected his hands.

So if you want to see Chester Thompson (not a bad drummer, it has to be said) banging away behind a diminutive whiner gurning at the front of the stage, playing the best of 80s MOR this land has to offer, then this is the Glasto highlight for you!

OTOH a bit of Peter Gabriel revisiting So (or indeed any of his back catalogue) would go down extremely well. If Phil could still drum, I might permit him to drum along to that, if he keeps a hat on.

I'm firmly in the 'Fuck Off Phil Collins' camp. Despicable wee turd

[tevaburger]

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

Please don't kill me, Selling England by the Pound was my favourite album for about 10 years....but maybe I'm just a relic of the 70s.

[gibbin82]

who is he again? wasn't he the drummer (one of two) for Led Zeppelin in front of 90,000 at JFK Stadium? and for a full Robert Plant tour? didn't realize he did anything else...

(apologies for bumping Phil back up to page 1)
