Mal Charanek - He was considered the best in the world, you’re right. I still don’t think there’s anyone better now than Phil was when he was in his prime.
I saw the first-ever Top Of THe Bill performance by Genesis in Croydon Greyhound Pub/Venue in front of 3,000 standing in S E London in 1972 when the original bill-toppers disbanded 2 days b4 the gig..............the rest is history :)
Man, that drum fill *never* gets old. Sounds as incredible now as it did when it was released in 1981. And its use in the first episode of Miami Vice singlehandedly changed the course of TV. The song is epic.
YESSIR I was also a car musician! A pure Red Light JAMMER! However loud the music is how loud I sang (Sing😁) !!!! Still do it for Really Awesome songs!
Delilah Carpenter On my first date with my husband after going out to dinner (we took separate cars) he was behind me at a set of traffic lights. I can’t remember the song, but he saw me drumming on the steering wheel. When we got to my place he smiled and said ‘Do you always drum on your steering wheel?’ And I said ‘Only when I’m happy!’ We were married six months later. 😂😂👍🥁
True enough. My bad. Remember I said I was old.! I have that LP on vinyl - with over 900 more. Incl all the original Beatles when vinyl used more OIL to make the discs. Heavier etc. can’t part with them
Dear Jay I love how enthusiastic and joyful you are about the music form decades ago, he is a legend in a lot of genres , and this song is up there with the very best, a person of my age seeing you enjoying and reacting to music from so long ago, a lot of younger folks would not take the trouble to listen too , I thank you so much, it warms an old ladies heart 😀.
I've watched this performance by the incredible Phil Collins so many times tonight, just to see the reactions .... it doesn't fail. I adore that these younger people are getting to see what we got enjoy at very important times in our young lives (well young, back then anyway). Plus I just discovered on another thread what this songs means ... ghost Lee Phil Collins used to be the drummer for the group Genesis When he went solo this was his 1st single as a solo artist in 1981. People have speculated the meaning of the song.but he cleared it up on the Jimmy Fallon show. He said it's about going thru a divorce. He said people were taking the song too literal and not looking beyond the words.
@Liz Magu you’re so right. I love how he just about makes it to the drums with about 1millisecond to spare and it looks like he ain’t t gonna make it. 1 of the best live performance, ever.
I saw the first-ever Top Of THe Bill performance by Genesis in Croydon Greyhound Pub/Venue in front of 3,000 standing in S E London in 1972 when the original bill-toppers disbanded 2 days b4 the gig..............the rest is history :)
I saw Phil do this and let me tell you, there is nothing that can compare to being right there in front of him watching him do his magic. It was one of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to and I've been to many shows of different performers.
In my opinion one of the most recognizable voices in music. What a great musician. So crisp and powerful. My husband is reading his book. Wow he’s had it rough from very young.
Direnova - Phil was definitely the best drummer in the world, when he was in his prime. I still don’t think there is a drummer that is better than he was. And on top of that, he’s a great guy.
@Direnova. I saw an interview with Phil and even though he was the Genesis front man and a solo artist, he always considered himself to be a drummer first :)
@@KazuhasKatana I was talking about the seventies. Neil said that Phil was the standard to aspire to and that it was how good you had to be these days (70's). I'm a Rush fan of over 40 years , you really don't have to tell me how good Neil was.
Phil Collins was the 80s to me. One of my favorite songs beside this one is "She's an easy lover" sung with Phillip Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire. Check it out.
Easy Lover was from Philip Bailey´s album Chinese Wall which was produced by Phil Collins and that duet is awsome. Phil played also drums on all tracks on the album. Phil used EWF´´s horn section in several occasions both solo and in Genesis.
@@SpSot I'm left handed and I played the drums "normally", it's totally fine that way, too. I can do snare fills like a madman that way, and hihat rolls you do with both hands anyways usually. For drums it really don't matter too much.
More like a drummer who turned a singer slightly different because he went onto sing more it's not like he drummed and sung st the same time most of the time but of course he does in this song and this wasn't surprising as Jay points out of course.
I read that his last albums were made entirely by himself, he plays each instrument, the mix, everything, all from his own personal studio at home. this guy is a genius.
That's right on. A few English could do this, Steve Winwood, Paul Mc cartney, then Enya who I believe was Irish. Boston was the American who overdubbed his own tracks. Can you think of anyone else?
@@bethmerryfield7186 Not everybody is into the Smashing Pumpkins...they are pretty alternative...but Billy Corrigan likes to play all the instruments for his studio recordings
Whenever I'm driving and this song comes on the sound goes way up and the head can't stay still when the drums "grow". Been listening to it since it was released back in 1981. So, so good.
So, "The Twins" have been getting a lot of publicity for their reaction video on the studio version of this. They're cute, but I have to say that you make more intelligent commentary on the music that you play. Thanks for doing the live version. Keep on keepin' on (as we used to say way back in the day).
I was camping when I first heard this song. Another camper played it so loud late at night it filled the whole campground. Eerie yet spectacular filling the night air.
I saw Genesis twice and Phil Collins twice too! He is unbelievable live. Puts everything he has in his performances! Will cherish those memories always. 😁👍
You made my heart so happy with your reaction to this song ♥️ Phil is my absolute favourite artist and this is my all time favourite song! I had the pleasure of seeing him live in concert and I wasn’t expecting him to jump on the drums at this iconic part of the song - it blew me and the crowd away!!! I still get chills remembering that moment. Thank you for reacting to this song 🙏🏻😍🤍
I really admire Phil Collins Not only as an Artist (I'd say he's THE voice from my childhood) but also as a Person. He made his way through the ups and downs and still manages to amaze me til this day
I have been going back and watching you past videos I missed, what fun your channel is. I hope your channel grows and grows and GROWS! By the way this is my favorite Phil Collins song.
There are SO many songs Collins has done, including work for Disney's Tarzan. Probably my favorite and most thought provoking is Land of Confusion (Genesis). For a lot of fun - Sussudeo (Collins solo). I suggest Peter Gabriel (former front man to Genesis before Collins took over) and Salsbury Hill. Then I suggest from his So album Big Time and Sledge Hammer. Oh and did we mention Collins was and remained the principal drummer of Genesis for many years. A multi talented musician.
His live version is soooo good! He is amazing...The Master! I am hoping your generation will use this song for motivation to MAKE A CHANGE AND VOTE!! The words have never been so true for what we are going through today!! I CAN FEEL IT COMING IN THE AIR!! PACK OF LIES!! WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! CAN YOU FEEL IT!!
"He caught all of us by surprise playing the drums" - You are so cute. OK, I am 25 years your senior so I have the privilege of growing up knowing this is the most iconic drum fill of all times, created by Phil Collins. I sometimes have to remind myself how your generation has missed out on so much good music. Keep it up!!! Loving your reactions!
Absolutely!!! I'm like.. Well, no, we were actually counting the seconds to that drum section and we knew he would do it because he was the drummer of the band before singing 😂😂😂
I agree! But I’m glad he reacts to all of the masters from back then now, so even if he didn’t get to see them live like we did, at least he still gets to enjoy the performances now. AND at the same time keeps the memory of all the great ones alive. Actually, that is the most important aspect of reaction videos like yours, Jayvee, keeping the memory alive, and perhaps even getting others from the younger generation interested in the old school masters as well. So keep it up. For us older generation people who grew up with Phil, MJ, and the likes, it is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Thank you for your videos. 💚🙏😊
I saw Genesis and Phil solo (2 concerts) back in the mid ‘80’s in Australia. I love all their music to this day. Including Peter Gabriel. AWESOME choice, JV. You’ll love it. This was made after his back gave out. Otherwise he would have been drumming the whole time. Bless.
Your very right. Phil is excellent, and Genesis are just out of the planet. I first heard them, when they did Foxtrot. It blow my 10 year old self, out of the window.
Turd Ferguson .. I’m in Melbourne and saw him with Genesis in the 80’s. I took my mum because she loved him too 🥰. This live clip is pure brilliance.. Phil Collins is so talented..
Rita Attard Soooo agree! We probably saw the same tour. Concert tickets were a lot cheaper in those days! I’ve still got the ticket stubs, $22 to see Phil and $28 for Genesis! 👍💖😂
He wrote the song to call out a liar. A man went to the papers and everyone. They claimed they were drowning, and shouted for help. And Phil casually walked off. It all turned out to be a pile of shit. Trying to get money out of him.
The version you picked is not just a "song", its a performance and a piece of art! I´ve heard it first in my early 20s and the drum solo blew me away! A few weeks later I´ve seen it on TV in the "Miami Vice"tv series and the implementation of a song into a scene of a tv series was the best I´ve ever seen because it really seemed to "fit" and both-the song and scene seemed to enhance each other. It somehow seemed as if the song was especially written for that scene and the scene was especially choreographed for that song.
It's one of the very very few that I rather hear live than on record. His live performances have been so amazing. Have the privilige of seeing him live a couple of times. So amazing.
@@RutgerOlthuis And he had this medusa looking wif who just left him and a mansion. He should have found a suppl and obedient woman who stays quiet and drops her draws on command.
Whether he was with his band, Genesis, or, singing solo, Phil Collins is a phenomenal performer... He sings phenomenally and he makes the drums sing phenomenally, too! I forgot to say that live in concert, he's just as great as in the studio
When asked in an interview if he considered himself a singer or a drummer, he said a drummer. His base player talked on a video about working on an artists song with Phil and he talked about how happy Phil was just playing the drums as it was what he loved to do
Phil Collins is awesome and he has some drum solos that give me goosebumps all over. He truly has amazing talents on the drums among a unique voice that never gets old. I've been listening to him since he became the singer for the band "Genesis" back in the 70's. He is amazing at the drums.
@6:40 - CLASSIC!!!! That drum roll is EVERYTHING!! From the time my middle daughter was three years old (she’s 23 now), every time that song came on the radio in my “soccer mom minivan“, I would say to her: “Abigail, get your drumsticks ready!“.. and without missing a beat, she hit that drum roll every time! I love it! Thank you so much for posting this 😬👍❤️❤️❤️🎉
Unfortunately, you may never be able to see him like this. He had some serious medical issues and subsequent physical setbacks that has rendered him unable to play the drums. He now needs a cane and performs on stage sitting down. His son is his touring drummer.
@@mandyatterbury5408 Phil was and still is a drumming idol of mine. I guess you could say I am a FanBoy. He has always been very underappreciated as a drummer. His work in Genesis is enough to put him in the elite category..IMHO; not to mention his solo and freelance body of work.
JayVaughn!! Loved your reaction to this, was waiting for THAT moment! This song takes me right back: thought we'd catch you standing up, swaying with cellphone flashlite on: please check out One More Night. He also was in the movie Hook, the British Inspector. Thanks for this !!
He's one of the BEST drummers in the industry!! His style is so unique, if you listen to Genesis and his solo albums, you can't help but hear his playing! Amazing on drums and vocals!
Phil Collins used to be the drummer for the group Genesis When he went solo this was his 1st single as a solo artist in 1981. People have speculated the meaning of the song.but he cleared it up on the Jimmy Fallon show. He said it's about going thru a divorce. He said people were taking the song too literal and not looking beyond the words. I'm not a drummer's shoelace and yet every time I see or hear this, I'm air drumming with the very best of them!❤️
Love how the crowd gets excited as soon as he starts walking towards the drums. Of you really wanna see how great he is on the drums, search for his drum solo
He, Bob Hoskins, and...Danny Devito (struggling to remember) had talked about doing a movie version of Goldilocks and the three bears, with the three of them as the bears. So unfortunate it never happened.
Oh my god this is epic classic. LOVE!! the whole CD he’s incredible. Part of the band GENESIS check that band out too if you like Phil. Check out the solo work and GENESIS (Peter Gabriel was in that band before Phil )
I appreciate the audience participation and at the same time the clapping is really throwing me off. This is such a haunting song and all that rhythmic clapping does is take away from the mystic.
Especially live! Abacab from Three Sides Live is outstanding and when Phil´s singing is over and those two drummers starts....wow. Chester and Phil is magic! And then the guitarsolo from Mike Rutherford.... WOW!!
I love watching people discover this great artist! This one of the most epic songs ever! Class of 1988 here. When we walked off the graduation stage, we played this song. Whenever it plays on the radio, anyone that knows this song has to play air drums when he hits those drums! Glad you found this amazing artist!
This performance has one of the best build ups ever.
So did Hotel California Hell Freezes Over
G T I totally agree!!! Nothing comes close to it!
Yup
I love how he walks up to the drums and casually starts to play. Not only a unique singer but a terrific drummer.
At his time he was considered the best in the world. In a band called Genesis! Check it out!
I know brilliant, goose bumps time
Mal Charanek - He was considered the best in the world, you’re right. I still don’t think there’s anyone better now than Phil was when he was in his prime.

Originally he was the drummer of Genesis, Peter Gabriel was the singer. When Peter left the band, he became the singer.
Man, that drum fill *never* gets old. Sounds as incredible now as it did when it was released in 1981. And its use in the first episode of Miami Vice singlehandedly changed the course of TV. The song is epic.
This song always takes me back to Miami Vice!!
Agreed!!!!! Music, TV and music, the best back in the day!
To me it's Risky Business with Tom Cruise.
Do you think more people started listening to Phil Collins due to watching Miami Vice or more people watched Miami Vice due to hearing Phil Collins?
@@kathryngann3479 me too!!
You could hear the crowd cheer when they saw the drums appearing as they all knew what was coming.
How many people have played "Air Drums" in their car whenever this came on the radio?
Jim Frederick How can you not!
YESSIR I was also a car musician! A pure Red Light JAMMER! However loud the music is how loud I sang (Sing😁) !!!! Still do it for Really Awesome songs!

That is so true. Too funny!
This NEVER GETS OLD. The world knows this drum riff! ❤
He was the drummer for Genesis before Peter Gabriel left and they needed a new singer.
@Lauren McKee I still love Peter Gabriel to this day. 💖
True enough. My bad. Remember I said I was old.! I have that LP on vinyl - with over 900 more. Incl all the original Beatles when vinyl used more OIL to make the discs. Heavier etc. can’t part with them
Debra N Don’t stress, babe! We’re all old here! 😂😂
one of the best drummers in the whole world
ShariSez1 Same. 💖👍
EVERYONE air drums when that part comes. Every. Single. Person. Every. Single. Time.
Facts!
No lie, if this song is playing, I will stop my conversation and air drum then continue on.
I didn’t....because I am ‘armless.....😬
@@MGE0007 you probably still imagine yourself doing it.

Most epic drum drop ever! Phil is a drummer 1st, a singer 2nd. Phenomenal!
Best version of this song EVER!! So cool how he times it perfectly to walk around the stage to the drums rising up from under the stage.. AMAZING
Brings a tear to my eyes!
Saw him in concert in 1990s he is an awesome performer one of the best concerts I've been to!
Genius.
@Liz Magu you’re so right. I love how he just about makes it to the drums with about 1millisecond to spare and it looks like he ain’t t gonna make it. 1 of the best live performance, ever.

Phil was considered by many in the 70's to be one of the best drummers in the world, and then he became a famous singer.
Direnova - Phil was definitely the best drummer in the world, when he was in his prime. I still don’t think there is a drummer that is better than he was. And on top of that, he’s a great guy.
I'm pretty sure he also played guitar 🎸 for Def Leppard?
@Direnova. I saw an interview with Phil and even though he was the Genesis front man and a solo artist, he always considered himself to be a drummer first :)
That honor goes to Neil from Rush. Phil's wonderful but he could never do what Neil did.
@@KazuhasKatana I was talking about the seventies. Neil said that Phil was the standard to aspire to and that it was how good you had to be these days (70's). I'm a Rush fan of over 40 years , you really don't have to tell me how good Neil was.
The single greatest drum break in music history.

Håkan Berglund known as “The Phoenix Horns”
He was EVERYWHERE
what was one of the first singles I ever bought as a kid, great duet
Fun fact: Phil Collins is left handed so his drum set is actually set up backwards compared to a regular drum set 🥁
So that would be me if I was to play drums since I am left-handed too. 🤔
@@SpSot I'm left handed and I played the drums "normally", it's totally fine that way, too. I can do snare fills like a madman that way, and hihat rolls you do with both hands anyways usually. For drums it really don't matter too much.

Definitely should react to some genesis if have already' Jayvee!
You know it!
@@delilahcarpenter2991 funny listening to another Phil Collins video reaction as this comment was a notification lol
They are STILL awesome ;)
Homogenized Humanity Genesis with Phil Collins was my favorite band besides Pink Floyd during the 70's and 80's. Phil is a music genius !
Phil Collins is a genius; the fans whistling, the blue lights; the brilliance of music, and the drum drop
Phil Collins took me right back to Miami Vice.
He had to say the word "wanker" lol.
Me too

25 years im worry of that
This is a masterpiece & a treasure to us all! ♥️
Absolute yes ❤️

When those drums kick in it gives me goosebumps every time. I played this song on repeat at full volume upon release. Awesome song!!!
Phil Collins voice is unique. And the drumming.... boy, he is gifted.

YES!
You want a song to tug at your heart of Phil's try "another day in paradise."
ohhh,i remember my first time,,,he come softer for this one..i remember this album recomfort me and relax...
i go listen rain down on me and do you remember,,,right away,,thank you

The lyrics make more sense when you know that he wrote this while going through a divorce.
He wrote the song to call out a liar. A man went to the papers and everyone. They claimed they were drowning, and shouted for help. And Phil casually walked off. It all turned out to be a pile of shit. Trying to get money out of him.
This is Phil's greatest classic with the best 5 second drum solo of all time (when he gets to the drums)!
The crowd starts building, knowing what’s coming. Amazing live performance.
Funny thing is that as he has gotten older he looks like anyone's uncle.

A few weeks later I´ve seen it on TV in the "Miami Vice"tv series and the implementation of a song into a scene of a tv series was the best I´ve ever seen because it really seemed to "fit" and both-the song and scene seemed to enhance each other. It somehow seemed as if the song was especially written for that scene and the scene was especially choreographed for that song.
Only a MEGA TALENT can sound this great LIVE! Long live Phil!
It's one of the very very few that I rather hear live than on record. His live performances have been so amazing. Have the privilige of seeing him live a couple of times. So amazing.
@@RutgerOlthuis And he had this medusa looking wif who just left him and a mansion. He should have found a suppl and obedient woman who stays quiet and drops her draws on command.
Nah, Player... he caught YOU by surprise. Not us OG Players 😂
I wasnt surprised! I was waiting for it to happen and see your reaction!! Phil Collins was the drummer in his band Genesis. Great drummer.
Same, you can also hear the audience start cheering when he moves towards the drums because they know what's coming 😉
Phil Collins is so incredibly talented but looks like a regular bloke you would see in Tescos.
He has a really nice ballad called, "One More Night". The official video version, is really nice.
He has an exceptional voice! He’s from his own genre.
Whether he was with his band, Genesis, or, singing solo, Phil Collins is a phenomenal performer... He sings phenomenally and he makes the drums sing phenomenally, too! I forgot to say that live in concert, he's just as great as in the studio
When asked in an interview if he considered himself a singer or a drummer, he said a drummer. His base player talked on a video about working on an artists song with Phil and he talked about how happy Phil was just playing the drums as it was what he loved to do
Phil Collins is awesome and he has some drum solos that give me goosebumps all over. He truly has amazing talents on the drums among a unique voice that never gets old. I've been listening to him since he became the singer for the band "Genesis" back in the 70's. He is amazing at the drums.
I'm 65 and love to see such reactions to the tunes we brought into this world. Music can change many hearts. Love and respect your love and reactions.
Great song. He was with Genesis from 1971. I first heard him in 72,when I was 10. Great song magnificent performance. Jovaughn knows his stuff.
@6:40 - CLASSIC!!!! That drum roll is EVERYTHING!! From the time my middle daughter was three years old (she’s 23 now), every time that song came on the radio in my “soccer mom minivan“, I would say to her: “Abigail, get your drumsticks ready!“.. and without missing a beat, she hit that drum roll every time! I love it! Thank you so much for posting this 😬👍❤️❤️❤️🎉
Unfortunately, you may never be able to see him like this. He had some serious medical issues and subsequent physical setbacks that has rendered him unable to play the drums. He now needs a cane and performs on stage sitting down. His son is his touring drummer.
His son had one of the best drumming teachers. Phil himself. To play like his dad, would be the biggest honner
He was magnificent. What a Legacy...What a Legend.
I didn't know that. Sad
@@mandyatterbury5408 Phil was and still is a drumming idol of mine. I guess you could say I am a FanBoy. He has always been very underappreciated as a drummer. His work in Genesis is enough to put him in the elite category..IMHO; not to mention his solo and freelance body of work.
We are very privileged to live in a world where, at least, performances by genius musicians are forever captured in recordings for future generations.
Still gives me the goosies even after all these years! ❤❤❤❤❤🥁
JayVaughn!! Loved your reaction to this, was waiting for THAT moment! This song takes me right back: thought we'd catch you standing up, swaying with cellphone flashlite on: please check out One More Night.
He also was in the movie Hook, the British Inspector. Thanks for this !!
Phil was a child actor
He's one of the BEST drummers in the industry!! His style is so unique, if you listen to Genesis and his solo albums, you can't help but hear his playing! Amazing on drums and vocals!
Awesome voice... damn good drummer...
Phil Collins used to be the drummer for the group Genesis When he went solo this was his 1st single as a solo artist in 1981. People have speculated the meaning of the song.but he cleared it up on the Jimmy Fallon show. He said it's about going thru a divorce. He said people were taking the song too literal and not looking beyond the words. I'm not a drummer's shoelace and yet every time I see or hear this, I'm air drumming with the very best of them!❤️
"Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil next please.
Amazing live. Loved him in the 80s. He could sing and was a phenomenal drummer 😍
I love all your videos you put all kinds of different songs English and Spanish I love that God bless you stay safe💖😍💖
Thank you
I have seen Phil live with him playing drums and it was bloody awesome!!
Primarilya percussionist at the beginning of his career. His drums are like Santana's guitar...unmistakable!
I discovered this video about 2 years ago I knew the song but I never saw this video and oh my God it is so iconic Phil Collins is the man
*Abacab* and *Follow You Follow Me* faves of mine. One's a banger and the other's a beauty. Respectively. Thx for tonight's 🎼 picks. 🌹 🥃
My top two Genesis tracks!
One of the greatest live performance ever
I Love Phil Collins❤
Me too. Him and Genesis from the start, are part of the soundtrack of my life.
Dale Baker Don’t forget Peter Gabriel. Amazing. 💖
@@turdferguson400 his very good. I loved all the old Stuff, he did with Genesis, but a lot of his solo stuff, is pretty darn brilliant.
Dale Baker Mate, I still listen to PG to this day. Absolutely beautiful. 💖 Solsbury Hill! And Beko. Always makes me cry. 👍
I love his voice. Best drummer ever.
Every time I watch this I think he's not going to make it his drum kit in time. 😅
Love how the crowd gets excited as soon as he starts walking towards the drums. Of you really wanna see how great he is on the drums, search for his drum solo
Drum duet in Genesis is good too
And hes a partime actor.. he was the police detective in the Robin Willliams movie HOOK.
Also did lead in movie Buster.
Was on stage in Oliver as a child.
He, Bob Hoskins, and...Danny Devito (struggling to remember) had talked about doing a movie version of Goldilocks and the three bears, with the three of them as the bears. So unfortunate it never happened.
I love there’s no phones in the crowd. Just people enjoying every moment
Oh my god this is epic classic. LOVE!! the whole CD he’s incredible. Part of the band GENESIS check that band out too if you like Phil. Check out the solo work and GENESIS (Peter Gabriel was in that band before Phil )
I appreciate the audience participation and at the same time the clapping is really throwing me off. This is such a haunting song and all that rhythmic clapping does is take away from the mystic.
Absolutely love this performance!!❤️
You have GOT to listen to "Another Day in Paradise"..
Awwwwww Phil great singer and the dude can play the drums sooooooooo good. Against all odds another great one. Let's get going Jay 😊😊💖💕💖💕
He wanted you to feel it coming in the air tonight. loved the calming set up in the arena.
That's how you open a concert.
That was some great crowd control presence in his entrance and walk.
You have to hear some old "genesis" ....that's all,abacab,Phil's vocals and drum playing are amazing
Especially live! Abacab from Three Sides Live is outstanding and when Phil´s singing is over and those two drummers starts....wow. Chester and Phil is magic! And then the guitarsolo from Mike Rutherford.... WOW!!
Sturmer kicks ass on lead guitar here...
I love watching people discover this great artist! This one of the most epic songs ever! Class of 1988 here. When we walked off the graduation stage, we played this song. Whenever it plays on the radio, anyone that knows this song has to play air drums when he hits those drums! Glad you found this amazing artist!
I’m an old person. I have his vinyl. He’s an amazing drummer and vocal talent.
