Genesis - Mama

[mastersan6]

Structure wise it seems like a slightly more deranged In The Air Tonight. I mean, it even has the badumbadumbadumdum fills before the last part...

[adam872]

This is such a spectacular song, especially the section 2:30 to 3:30. Tony's chords and those thundering Taurus pedals are just awesome. The whole thing is so dark and menacing. Love it!

[marcalmondgay]

Evil phil the part where he's laughing so demonic

[DANTECHPFN]

aaaa aaaa aowwwwww LOL funny

[LEOCCIICS1]

gracias gta4 por darme a conocer esta rola

[toomanyeejits]

@arfgamer If Rockstar hadnt used this song in GTA, then probably a whole new generation of music lovers wouldnt have ever heard of it....so that HAS to be a good thing, yeah?...i suggest getting off ur high horse once in a while and just enjoying it for what it is....a good song :)

[skintrade]

Tony looks scary in the first 20seconds

[arfgamer]

The people who made gta most be ashamed for using this masterpiece, and some fuckers below listen this song while they kill innocent people. This song is not made for this kind of SHIT.. Genesis 4 Life

[ZoahLord]

@arfgamer

Characters in a video game are not innocent people. They're pixels and computer programming. Chill out.

[SinclairBooks]

Haven't listened to Genesis in years. Love this song.

[maellen1]

[CRACKPOTATOE]

[sirtinycreep]

Still a great video and song.

[mrarnak56]

[alounette29]

Tout simplement mythique!! Je ne m'en lasse pas. Du grand GENESIS

[gafanhotoinstrutor]

[tehanonbelieve]

Phil Collins can never die, he is simply too manly, when the end of the world it will simply be Collins floating around nothingness flaunting his manliness.

i loved this song. and when i heard it in gta for th first time, i was astounded by that they got it. sadly, i was getting chased by cops in a sabre gt. i hit a jump and the drums kicked in at the time i landed.

Epic timing from an epic song

[comissairevanloc]

phil collins rocks xD

[NLglennNL]

MILF MILF MILF :p

[diztanguy]

i think this is the best genesis song.i m not a fan.i m more into bigger bands,like pink floyd or the beatles.phil collins has one of the best voice in the business,along with freddy mercury and sting.

[pendulum413]

haha=母

Japanese means mother.

[SpartanZZRxboxLIVE]

INCEST-fun for the whole family :)

[Choefoe]

@SpartanZZRxboxLIVE It,s about a prostitute, called "a mother"

[cruch13]

[ajittffcure]

Very powerful song and the video is superb too, especially the close-ups on Phil Collins' s face. Phil's vocals are excellent on this one.

[dustytretch]

can someone tell me the keyboards(synths) used in this song thanks

[clapmoore]

don`t look like it

[Infiniteplanz]

For the sound i can tell that the quarter notes are made on a arp oddisey and the lead maybe was made un a dx7 i'm not 100% sure but with those 2 you can make all this sounds.Of that i'm completly sure.

Gmedia had the "oddity" and native instruments the "Fm8" Enjoy

[elhannibal06]

'who cares.listen to the music instead

[townshendrocks]

GTA IV, wooo, i bought episodes from liberty city tha other day. :D

[dada16fs]

MASTERPIECE!

[zozoann]

Is it OK to just say I LOVE THIS SONG! ?

[TK42138]

@zozoann

Perfectly understandable. 

[SPeacock]

This song (and the album which it appears on - "Genesis" AKA "The Shapes Album" is 26 today.

Happy Birthday :)

[cu16855]

I recently had to deal with 13 criminal women from stretford which has stockholm syndrome and at least 20 of their scumbag men. The women could have sorted the problem but the women are not individuals. Just part of another gang. There is a price for everything.

[adamtzsch]

Thanks for posting this. The "gated reverb" effect on the drums was invented by Phil and producer Hugh Padgham, and used first on 'Intruder' by Peter Gabriel on his third solo album.

[nugentmilicent]

I heard it on a david copperfield illusion.

phil collins is a genius.

This should definetly be in the next dairy milk advert with the gorilla.

The intensity on his voice is amazing. Like he wants to kill his mother! like she took away his last chance!!lol

[Rictof]

Yeah, but David Copperfield took out the "HAHAAA heh.." stuff. Not sure if you're trying to decipher what the song is about, but I think it's about his obsession with a certain prostitute. I heard it first on David Copperfield as well. It was that wicked teleportation illusion! One of the first illusions he did on the special where he was hung upside down in one of those nuthouse jackets over a bunch of flaming spikes with the ropes on fire. If only they had used chains instead of cloth...

[nugentmilicent]

Its ok pal I know what the song is about, but I just like to imagine he is singing mama in the literal sense.

[foxfoobar]

SOMEBODY STOLE MY FUCKING 80'S!!!

I WANT THEM BACK... NOW!!!

Best time of my life... just my 2 cents.

[mremosh]

Great stripper song!! thanks cherry

[iasemain]

hey OfficialGenesis n everyone i think this amazing scary song is came from that scary movie SCREAM BLOODY MURDER (1973/I) im not sure but the story is same this song for 100%

[ZEDROGANA]

fucking hell hes shit live all I wanted to do is listen to the fucking mp3 of it slap headed cunt

[gamer1o0]

soo much love and big time respect for phil collins

[rafita61]

Fabulosa canciòn,exelente interpretaciòn

[1992Brane]

[Allexxx96]

[TheEventMaker]

[RyanLies]

SO true man best stuff

[saracuoricino]

molto bella sta canzone---

[ajs41]

I love that disemboweled drum sound that comes in at 3:30, invented by Phil and Peter Gabriel.

[DerMarcie]

Crap GTA 4 ...... Good game and it least it teaches you kids a lesson about good music... learn from where it comes from and listen to the rest ;) theres alot more from where that came from ;)

[DerMarcie]

The first time i heard this i must have been around about 4... since then Genesis and Phil Collins have been around me... Great band, great artists.... and i love his "evil" laugh in this one :D

[Bogoss1977]

Sweet Dreams PHIL ;) Thanks

[pacosaidso]

[iComment17]

OMg its on GTA IV

[squeegybits]

LIBERTY ROCK RADIO

[Rictof]

Lol, Rockstar is definitely getting a lot of credit for keeping the youth well informed of when the good music was and what it sounded like through the avenues of Grand Theft Auto. Sure, the music was released way before the games came out, but it's definitely a way to show the new generations what good music was like.

[agusagaz]

I agree with this fine words.

[Coruscant98]

This song came out long before GTA 4 ffs

[arcadewi]

GENESIS.......... is a great band............

[MrTonedeff]

[Averilli1]

Oooooooh the hairs on my arms...this reminds me of every difficult childhood in the world and he sings for it so passionately with so much understanding >:D he is the best! I hope Phil doesn't go deaf he has got so much to give!

[powerpoint1357924680]

[crzycurlytamara]
