Hi. Any Genesis fans out there?

Phil Collins never left Genesis. But they did split up for a time and pursue solo projects while Phil spent time in British Columbia to be near his family and possibly get back together with his wife.

Interesting to know. I never listened to any Robert Plant stuff. I wonder what kind of back up vocals Phil added to Plant's songs.

I'm surprised those kids have the ability to like anything but rap.

The videos I've watch feature a lot of rock and most of the time they are blown away with the vocals and/or music. There's several youtubers who make these, it's fun to watch young people find appreciation for music beyond what they and their friends listen to.

I was listening to Supper's Ready just a couple of days ago and Firth of Fifth the day before that.

Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - 1974

Only got to see them once, at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in New York City. That was one Hell of a show...

Phil Collins solo stuff was good.

I pretty much lost interest in Genesis after the album "And then there were three." Even that particular album seemed to be more Phil Collins than Genesis. More so afterwards. And who could blame them with the success Phil Collins had as a solo artist.

That one had 'Follow You, Follow Me'. I love that song, and it used to be one of my favorite synth solos to play.

I firmly believe Phil Collins was not only THE male voice of the 1980s, he's also one of the best pop singers ever. It's amazing that he never even knew he was singer until he was forced into the role due to Gabriel's departure. But what a great voice.

If you haven't seen it, it's pretty good:

This was re-named Genesis: Sum Of The Parts when released on DVD/Blu-Ray. It can be found on Amazon Prime.

Why is that?

Mike and the Mechanics was alright, but they had a few get radio play.

I’ve seen them in a live open air concert.

Really good.

You may think that this question is way out there from planet 9, (or beyond) But I have a Genesis song question for you. On which Genesis album does this phrase appear. "As I cuddled the porcupine, he said I had none to blame but me." No cheating by looking it up. Either you know or you don't know.

Welcome to USMB, Planet9. Hope you enjoy the boards.

Off the Genesis - "Seconds Out" live album by any chance? It is possibly the best live recording that any band ever made. I have heard that Steve Hacket was reprising "Seconds Out" in Scotland.

Which album were they doing.

Biblical or Phil Collins--ical ?

He must have known he was a good singer. He was just reluctant to step out from behind the drums. Which he considered to be his home in a way. On a Genesis documentary I have, Peter Gabriel admitted that Phil had a better natural singing voice than he did. And off "Then there were three," I think my favorite song was "Many Too Many."

You shouldn't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.

BUT

OTOH ?

Peter Gabriel made a biblical reference in one of the Genesis songs. He sang, "You. Can't you see he's fooled you all." It's in the song, "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man."
