Love this prog rock stuff, takes me back to when we all sat round the room stoned off our melons, passing the joints around, listening to these albums. I remember being totally stunned when I first heard Dark Side Of The Moon when it was released in Quadraphonic. You could hear all this stuff coming from differant speakers. Genius. Very little like it around these days tragically. Still some prog rock bands but never on radio unless you tune into radio on the web and find it there.
When I first heard "Dance of the Volcano," I was sure it was Peter. It took lots of convincing to get me to accept it was truly Phil. What had Phil sung before that? "More Fool Me" from Selling England.
Peter Gabriel is an overrated douchebag. He is an asshole for what he did in 1977 and 2009. Phil Collins did the man thing, stepped up to the plate, grabbed some balls and did the job well if not better than that cocksucker gabriel.
@marsbars4: What an enlightened and erudite comment... (not). Let me just encapsulate your fine words... PG is a douchebag, an asshole AND a cocksucker. (And those are just his good points!) hmmm I can only surmise that YOU must be a musical genius to be qualified to make such judgements...
@cosmicjazzer GEE. I wonder what that says about YOUR particular musical talents to say such personalized comments to me...once more to me. It still does not change the fact that Peter Gabriel is a overrated douchebag asshole who is only a carbon copy of himself now. Phil is still twice the man has twice the balls that douchebag does not have
Would Vincent Van Gogh be less of an artist if his paintings were popular during his lifetime? Why would a bands popularity make their music more or less valid?
It's interesting that 78 was the only tour where Daryl tried to play Steve Hackett's tremelo guitar part for this song. I've never heard Daryl or anyone else play that part after this tour. While I'll always love the 5 man line-up best, Genesis was always a fantastic band. For me there's a feeling of continuity in their music. In 2007, when they went into things like Second Home Of The Sea I got a real sense that these were the same 3 guys who came up with the Cinema Show instrumental.
@blutocampbell After Gabriel left, Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson joined to help out, but he left in '77, after that Chester Thompson took his place and stayed until Collins left in '96, when Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard and Big Big Train stepped in
@blutocampbell i don't think so. First of all, A Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, and, at times, even their eponymous album are brilliant and creative. Second of all, to us youngsters who didn't live to see the old Genesis live, if they hadn't become famous and i had never heard Land of Confusion on the radio, then i never would have discovered the real Genesis.
@TheCredo77 And course 1982 the "The Lamb Lies down on Broadway/Watcher of the skies" Medley, also 1984 during the Mama Tour, 1998 and of course 1992... And of course 77 :D
Amen Crib. Collins did a fantastic job energizing and singing Gabriel's parts. Freakin morons expect him to get up there in a Rael or slipperman costume and imitate the original? Gabe was unreal, but he was getting out of control, admittedly, and he left. Thank christ they carried on.
@MrChasmaniac Kanye used the mellotron on the Late Registration album and Dr Dre uses the Moog, Fender Rhodes, Korg Triton, Alesis Andromeda, and Wurlitzer keyboards on his tracks.
of Peter Gabriel. Then following the album "Selling England by the Pound" commercial rubbish left right center...Despite all Gabriel was phenomenal in his theatrical and singing performance. No one can deny that.
I agree, they really had no choice in changing their sound. Prog rock died around 79/80. None of the great 70's prog bands made it in the 80's. I love prog and i also like the poppy Genesis material.
Who are you to say pop is crap? Personal opinion yes, but that also gives me the right to say that every single piece of music YOU like is the absolute worst crap ever made in the history of the world, nay, the universe. How do you like the taste of your own medicine? Besides, it has been almost 39 years. Get over it. NO, you are not over it, or you wouln´t be bitching about it. Are you a Genesis or a Peter Gabriel fan? Queen did pop, rock and even opera. I still like them.
I agree with mojobo26. I am a very passionate Gabriel fan; however, I don't see how that makes me necessarily anti-phil. This divisional way of thinking is so unprogressive.
i guess i look at new and old genesis like two different bands, really. from 67 to 77, thats the old genesis, the art rock genesis, and 77 to present is new genesis. in the new genesis there is a lot of commercial music crap, but among others Land of Confusion and Mama are great, but in, i guess, a non-genesis way. this sounds totally schizofrenic :P
I respect anybody who dared to pick up the mic and sing in front of Genesis after Gabriel left. Phil Collins worked his ass off to get his voice up to par for that band. Is he Gabriel? No. Does it still sound good? Yes. Don't forget, if it weren't for these pop drivelists, we'd of never heard of Peter Gabriel.
@CribNotes Something that Gabriel-era Genesis fans fail to realize.
Phil Collins saved that group from musical obscurity because Peter was looking real invisible with his solo career until he came out with Shock The Monkey in 1980.
@CribNotes You are out of your mind if you think Peter Gabriel owes his popularity to Genisis. If ANYTHING it's the other way around depending on if you like the pop shit that Genisis came out with after Gabriel left. Get real; Gabriel is one of the most creative musician/producer sans Brian Eno.
@CribNotes I really don't understand the Gabriel worship. I think everything "gelled" much better with Phil as the frontman. Yes, Gabriel was a more interesting and impressive showman, but he wasn't right for the overall synergy of the band. Genesis was Phil's band.
The other irony is that everyone condemns Phil for taking the band from prog to pop. But look at Gabriel's solo career. His first hit was "Solsbury Hill". Phil's Genesis was still writing fairly progressive music while PG was pop.
Thanks magog 64 for sharing this fantastic Genesis, unforgettable song!So many memories!
