I had the phone call recently from Genesis' manager: "Do you think you guys would like to have a meeting to talk about the future?" Let's just say that there's a move afoot to put us all together again. When that will happen, I don't know, but I think it's inevitable that something that has had such a lasting effect ... I mean, the Musical Box sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London!

I don't even really know those guys [in Genesis] these days; all I can really say is that I hope we do something. I doubt that we'll write something new, but that would be a gas! Just to come in and say, "We don't have to remember anything, let's do something new, just to see what we play like these days." That would be nice, but you've got people working different ways and at very different pace. But I do think something will happen -- whether it's a recreation of the past or anything new, I don't know.

Quoted from Steve Hackett interview with Chicago Sun-Times dated 10/14/2005.

Also rumors of meeting between Genesis members on November 20th. Maybe do several shows to promote hi-rez Genesis releases?

    What does Phil Collins have to do with this? (I'm being honest...is he a part of one of those groups?)

    I personally like Phil Collins.

    You really don't know? :confused:

    Phil Collins was the drummer of Genesis. He took over lead vocals after Peter Gabriel departed. When that happened, there was a change in musical style for the band, going from progressive rock to more pop-oriented songs. Which, of course, leads to the never-ending argument about Peter Gabriel vs. Phil Collins between fans. Kind of like David Lee Roth vs. Sammy Hager with Van Halen.

    And just in case you REALLY don't know, Phil Collins was also the drummer for the jazz fusion group Brand X while he was with Genesis.

    Back to the subject of the thread....

    Assuming Peter Gabriel decline to participate in a reunion, the 4-member lineup of Genesis is still very good....Banks, Collins, Hackett and Rutherford can still bring in a lot of fans.

    audiobliss, do you just live in a cage with no link to the outside world except the forum?

    Don't know who Kevin Costner is, don't know Phil was the man in Genesis (esp the later stuff). Those are from today, I've seen several other like that from you in the past...

    I know you're young, but hell I'm only 27 and I still know this stuff...you need to enroll in a pop culture class at your local community college. I hate pop culture, but it's still stuff you're gonna want to know down the road...

    FWIW, I prefer the early Genesis stuff with Peter much more than the later stuff. Granted, the later stuff produced more hits, but I like the earlier stuff better...

    Thanks for the enlightening post, dannytse - I really didn't know. I also had never heard of David Lee Roth or Sammy Hager, but Van Halen does ring a bell.

    PM - Hey, I knew who Kevin Costner was!! I just didn't know that was his name!! :D:D

    Anyone caught a recent interview of Peter Gabriel on the entertainment/gossip TV show "Extra"? When asked about a possible Genesis reunion, Gabriel said he will meet with the other members of the band and talk things over.

    Stay tune.

    In the meantime, check out this recent interview of Phil Collins on Genesis....possible reunion....various members of Genesis....not able to play 70s Genesis drum parts anymore....Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame....various songs.....

    Interesting read

    Well, the possibility of a Genesis reunion made the "front page" of Yahoo News today.

    In the meantime, check out Phil Collins playing drums behind the Genesis tribute band, The Musical Box, in the below link. Also check out the documentation video that feature Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett.

    Btw, on the previous link, Genesis last frontman, Ray Wilson, does a pretty good job on an unplugged version of "Mama".

    Cool! I saw Genesis with Peter Gabriel in 1974. 15 rows from the front in a small venue. WOW! What I wouldn't give to be back there again.

    Ditto... "Fly on a Windshield" is a great track.

    He must have kicked the coke about the time he stopped releasing a new album every 6 weeks.

    I still like Phil. His Miami Vice stuff was cool. Hey...I still wear my linen slacks and jacket with a pastel T-shirt and white slip ons. Got my Ray Ban wayfarers and I'm good to go.

    No official word from Genesis or Phil Collins. But the following was posted on Peter Gabriel's official website....
    Genesis Reunion
    This has been the main topic of conversation recently and many of you have written in asking for the official word. I'm told that sadly, there is no truth in it; this rumour seems to come and go every few years and we think that this particular one has been fuelled by the fact that Phil, Peter and Steve Hackett have all been interviewed lately in connection with their solo careers and they are always asked about the Band. They all say the same thing; that they remain good friends and although there are no specific plans, they would not rule out the possibility at some time - although getting the five of them together would prove too hard given their various solo commitments.

    c'mon - this is the endless argument - Styx with or without Tommy Shaw, Genesis with or without Peter Gabriel, The Who with or without Keith Moon...

    Take them for what they are - Genesis with Phil instead of Peter Gabriel was still very good - just differrent - are you trying to tell me that Duke was a purely pop based album? ABACAB? And Then There Were Three? No - Phil Collins just beat us all to death with his solo career - it ain't like Solisbury Hill, In Your Eyes, and SledgeHammer are all high brow music kids...

    Be real ?i am as real as it gets. all musical tastes are subjective and if i feel a certain way about an artist, someone elses opinion will not sway me one way or another. could you really imagine Peter Gabriel singing Phil Collins lyrics how realistic is that ?

    Not trying to piss anyone off - but That's exactly my point - it is all subjective - Scott/Young, Roth/Hagar, Howe/Rabin, Gabriel/Collins, they all added something different. And I could easily see Gabriel having done anthing on the Duke album, yes. Progressive that one. Maybe not so much ABACAB - but Duke definintely.
