I've just been reading that Phil Collins is retiring from music , he will not record again or play live . That's a bit sad i think ,although i was never a big fan i did like his first two solo albums .

His first two albums are excellent. And he is a superb drummer. It's unusual for a musician to announce that they're retiring.

And Genesis toured fairly recently. I missed the show but heard that it was really great. Too bad.

No, they usually announce a huge farewell tour, jack up ticket prices, sell crummy farewell tour t-shirts for outrages prices to unsuspecting fans and then a year or two later announce the big comeback tour. And the cycle starts all over again. At least Phil announced his retirement AFTER he toured. Maybe he's got some respect for his fans. Now that would be unusual.

Suusssusuus   shite . eo !


Yeh, thats right i was`nt a fan .
Now Peter Gabriel , now your talkin.  

who's phil collins?

Exactly  

no, honestly, who's phil collins?

He was a drummer for a not very good prog rock band called Genisis , and Peter Gabriel , saw the light [get it] and he left and so Mr phill collins took over the singing and it was all down hill from then on , then lord the 80s came and he did some solo stuff . which was even worse than the genisis stuff and he was a tank top yuppie loved pop star and did a lot of bad acting and then he played with the gods Led Zeppelin and lord he messed that up , so much , the Zepp never played again for years and years , and so he has hung up his drum sticks , yes thats right the Kite will not miss him at all .

Not good at anything , in my little humble of opinion

I actually like Phil Collins.  I wish I had a chance to see him.  His earlier stuff was really good in my opinion.

Well, my opinion is that your opinion sucks.

A not so great prog band? Lol! Genesis was an incredible band. Also, saying that Phil Collins couldnt drum,,,maybe the dumbest thing I have ever read on the internet. I understand if you dont care for him or the band, but to say such things is crazy.
