"In 2001, Gabriel did an experiment at Georgia State University where he tried to teach 12 Bonobo Apes to play keyboards. No word on whether the monkeys were shocked."... "The monkey is a metaphor for jealousy according to Gabriel. So, the monkey is not addiction, but the monkey within you, the primal emotional responses, it seems. Our inner primate if you will." After all these years!

back in 82 when my son was 2 he had this crazy obsession with this song. i had it on a 45 and had to play it 30 times a day. i wonder if it is played backwards it says"get your parents to play it again,again,again," lol

[muziekbericht]

I saw this life in The Hague The Netherlands

Jesus. I was 18 when I thumbed to the city to see Peter. Nearly 30 years later. Wow.

I'd prefer to go back to 1974, and revisit watching him perform with Genesis.

That spoiled live concerts for me until I saw Supertramp in their Crime of Century tour.

I'll give a million dollars to the first person who can transport me back in time to see PG perform in 1983. I envy every single one of you there!

[dashassfrost]

Yes, he definitely lives forever!!! I love the way he moves here :)

[troublesomecorsair]

i hope he lives forever. ...maybe he will

[AJAnewage]

is Peter Gabriel dead or is he still alive?

[PureMadness]

@AJAnewage yes he's very much alive; he released a new album a few months ago

[domiroxy7]

@AJAnewage

He's alive !!!

I would agree with nightsaturn. Security is one of the best albums ever. Not just because it's Peter Gabriel. It's just an amazing album that was a pioneer among albums in general. I wish they would release a remastered version of it with better quality of recording and sound.

rocketman, expert on audio quality...

It's called a BOOTLEG. Something we will never see. So we, us regula folk, look past the lack of quality.

[Cimbarius]

Peter Gabriel-CLASSIC. This song was nominated for a GRAMMY in 1983 - category "Best Rock Vocal".

[rocketman6464]

Tony Levin playing Chapman Stick for the bass part. One of the most famous bass lines of all time... and it's not a bass.
