Noel tends to knock alot of artists, it certainly gets attention... but when youve got as much talent as Phil Collins has got, had as many hits, sold as many records then....
No matter what people say Phil has worked so hard. Yes he has earned his money but he has given so much back. His personal life is sad, but he has 5 wonderful children. Much respect to Phil. Love your music, keep going Phil. We love and miss you.❤❤❤❤
My husband met/knew Phil whilst working at Shepperton Studios, before moving to the states. He had the highest regard for Phil- said Phil was an extremely talented, intelligent, hard working individual who always watched out for and helped others.
Did your husband and you have any encounters with The Who? The Who worked quite a few years at Shepperton Studios. I think they were actually part owners of the complex.
@@tomcarl8021 Of course Mr. Collins has a good ear and understands talent, but was he there when The Who were? I understand after Steve left Genesis he was ready to jump ship, saying he would never leave except for The Who. By that time, they had a new drummer. A lot of 'cross pollination' in music then.
@@ask-televisionmartingremme9253 Simple? Are you kidding me? You obviously have not listened to their entire catalog. 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' is more complicated and subtle than any other band. Period. Not Pink Floyd, not Yes, not King Crimson, not EL&P. And I heard them all live.
Phil, what a drummer, my absolute hero. If it wasn’t for him, I would never had started drumming and writing myself. Genesis, Gabriel, Phil Collins, my biggest influences in life. Thank you so much for what you have gifted me, the world with all your amazing albums, together and solo. X
He's received a lot of flak over the years but nobody worked harder for their success. I read his bio last year, and in the 80's his workload was insane, running and touring a massive solo career while still somehow managing to tour and record with one of the world's biggest bands. He seems a down to earth guy who grabbed every opportunity that came his way.
Just out of interest - where has Phil Collins received flak? Definitely not in the UK. And without meaning any rudeness Phil is a UK musician and we love him and TBH the British don't give a shit what foreigners think of him or any other of our musicians.
@@SuzyQ334there was a story about phil sending one of his ex wives as fax. That one the uk media when crackers over. When he moved to Switzerland, there were claims that he moved because of tax reasons and something about Phil and the conservatives, cant remember the details of that story. Yeah there are those that love to bash others for whatever reason whether it's for the right reasons or not
@SuzyQ334 The flak came from the press/media. Phil has often mentioned, and mentions again in his autobiography "Not Dead Yet", about how miserable the press was to him and how the UK press affected how UK audiences and fans responded to him and his music. However, Phil was, and is, greatly admired and appreciated worldwide for his amazing and varied skills and talents that he shared for over fifty years.
In '85 I was in a music store and found a drum transcription book of Phil Collins songs. I was 15 at the time and was in school band and I could read music a little. I thought that wouldn't it be cool to go buy all the tapes that cover this book and learn how to play like Mr. Collins! I already had some of his tapes. I spent every cent i had on this little project and it turned into the best drum lessons I ever had! Still have that book and another that covers Genesis as well. Only regret was not getting to see him live. but, "not dead yet", right? He is a big influence for me. I ended up playing drums in the US Navy Bands for 20 years and i'm still jamming to songs! God Bless you Phil
My favorite Phil album is 'And Then There Were Three'. Phil's drumming on that LP is spectacular - full of rolling, liquid drum fills especially in The Lady Lies. Great musician and singer.
Hello I Must Be Going. That was the PC album that reminded me how talented our gorgeous Phil Collins was/is. Phil Collins didn't need a band. He is so talented.
The man who inspired me to pick up drumsticks and use a practice drum pad at my maternal grandparents place. I only played in band in school and now I play guitar. But Phil is the reason I started learning an instrument. Thank you Mr. Collins! Nothing but the best to you sir!
Ive introduced Phils music to my kids 7@8 we have a 1982 mk3 escort with a cassette player and we only play phils songs my son has cerebal palsy and loves it, my daughter plays football and has to play phil on the way to her football matches and on the way back we play "take me home"... thanks Phil 👍🏼
First time I heard Genesis was at my friend and fell in love, wow! Got all the LPs, drove my parents insane and now my grandchildren listen to the CD's that replaced the records and they love it! Best ever!

A dear friend of mine passed away from cancer about 2 years ago this month. One of the foundations of out friendship was his overwhelming Genesis knowledge. He was from the UK, but had moved to the states in the 80's. Every other time I saw him he had a Genesis shirt on! When he passed, the CD player in their car broke and now can only play the CD currently in it, which, of course, was Genesis, so every time she gets in the car, she has something to remind her of him!❤
Phil Collins success is a laser sharp focus from an early age, a god given talent honed through years of hard work of rehearsal, performing and being totally immersed in the music scene as performer and a fan😎👌
Phil Collins holds a rare distinction with only two other people in the entire world, to be a member of a band that sells over 100 million records, then also have a solo career selling over 200 million records, those two other people are Sir Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, Bravo Mr. Collins, Love from the World...
@@dennispacelli1007 Well, if I had to put my finger on it, he has been openly critical of the Labour Party. I think a knighthood is long overdue for Phil. Barry Gibb was recently knighted. But we are still waiting for Phil Collins and Eric Clapton to be given the honor.

Hey Phil I would like to thank you very much for being so candid in this documentary . It help me personally so much with the way I was looking things I have been playing drums since I was 4 yrs old .You came on my radar in 1978 when another drummer I did NOT like that brought your album school band rehearsal .So I resisted so at first.But you won me over in time . I first started playing your songs in a top forty band. With "turn it on" then " Easy lover" was a wedding song for me at the reception. The made a honeymoon video where I used " take me home" for clips of the plane ride home from Maui. Something that just happen at the end of Oct. I became a drum instructor for The School of Rock" we had a jam with all the instructors & I brought my Roland SPD- 11 that night they wanted to play " Something in Air " when it got to intro part I nailed it perfectly . The room went crazy I had played that for years & had the sound in programmed in the machine.But I give U full credit for that. I just did my solo album after doing production & drums for the lasts 30yrs & sang for the first time out in where others could hear. It's doing much better than I thought .Put it out last Feb. was worried that it would tank,but the pandemic had everyone in listening to to music & got lucky people found it. My life has been parallel in many ways except your massive success .but still happy where I landed by the way many of my go to licks come from U !Thank you very much again! Terry at 59 now & the album was Multi- Genre this why I did not except much to happen.😎🎵🔈🎶👍
i want to specially appreciate you for been a big fan in such critical times and as a show of gratitude i'll be giving only a selected few of my top fans the opportunity of sending me a direct message via email using my private email and you've been randomly,selected and please be sure to include your name when writing me because i don't entertain vague messages. philip.davids.charles.collins@gmail.com
Thank you Great drummer and great Artist and even if I never met him, he seems to be a very nice man. I played for hours (when I was 15) A Trick Of Tail, Seconds Out,;Three Sides Life.... That is how I learned to play odd meters on that Great music of Genesis. Saw Phil live in 1985 in Grenoble, Great and very pro !! All the Best Phil !!
It always seemed to me that he is not a singer from the heart, but a perfect actor that plays a singer unbelievably well. And he is a clever businessman. His tour documentary is really good too.
That was the best documentary. I always knew Phil was a great guy...seeing him on stage so many times, it comes across. And seeing earlier Genesis interviews. But it was nice to see his friends and family confirm it. I loved this...I totally enjoyed it begin to end. His wife is beautiful. It's really a shame things turned so ugly to put it mildly between them. I think that's what broke him. I'm glad he's making a come back and I'll be there in New York to see it.
The guys in Genesis all were creative and strong musically. It comes through in their speaking about their albums and touring. No one felt threatened by the other. Great chemistry. Great people.
@@rains00the Perhaps, but I think it was Peter trying for more attention that got to the rest of them. After all, it was not HIS band despite the prancing around. As Phil said, it was about the music (until Gabriel made it about himself). When they got fed up, he left. Peter needed the spotlight.
@@rk41gator Tony Banks would not let Peter use his compositional or performance abilities. If he had consider what Genesis could have been when reviewing Peter's post Genesis work. It seems Tony may have learned something after watching Peter's and Phil's solo successes. Peter even references this is this video, talking about how he and Phil would play the piano when by themselves (40:05). You've have to watch other interviews Peter has given to really understand the comment.
Jeez Genesis were my favourite band, in the 80,s i swear i must have "air drummed" "dance on a volcano" a thousand times, it was just magical, i did,nt know that he could sing just as good at the time, all the albums up until Duke", were fantastic. I was for a little while adddicted to "seconds out", there was nothing like it at the time, ahh, such happy memories.
Still, till this day the two songs of his that had an enormous emotional effect on me were hold on my heart and Another Day in Paradise. There is something about hold on my heart that is so evocative, it lures you in and just brings a wave of Peace over me when I feel troubled.
That's what a lot of people don't realize, he was also a drummer in a Jazz/fusion group, Brand X. People who only know him for a string of hitsingles in the 1980s will be surprised it they hear of this. He also rehearsed in a never-to-be group of Robert Fripp, John Wetton and himself. And those jams are really good
Phil, we are all given "wake up calls" and everyone tells me the 3 car accidents I was in occurred to make me slow down. I HAVE to believe it. So what did I do in-between surgeries and PT? I am earning my doctorate in special education. YOU are a true inspiration to me, and it makes me feel good knowing that I have a brother out there like me. All my love, Holly from Nevada.
One hour and 34 minutes!!! I said to myself when I arrived here. Well there's no way I gonna chew that off. I'll just watch the first few minutes and move on...well here I am One hour and 34 minutes later...I really enjoyed that. And a big part of that is the burden of always being a fan of Genesis and Phil Collins and yet hiding it a bit because of this mysterious hatred and dismissal that floats about. I always took Phil as being exactly as this documentary supports through the words of Phil and his family and other musicians and all those who speak on this film. It's an odd Catch 22 kinda thing. Phil gets placed on a pedestal by those who know him because he doesn't want to be on the pedestal. But all the others think he revels in it and think he must believe he is so special and so the tearing down begins. Very unfortunate. I kinda liked the way Geldof says it on here and though gruff in his words it's probably true -basically: "he's a great ordinary brilliant dude but if he reads all his reviews and ruminates over them, he's an idiot" Well Phil's not an idiot but he sure doesn't need reviews to tell him he's a very good person as is better evidenced by the words of his children on here and the many others on here who know him from experience.
Nice comment, I think the ‘mysterious hatred’ you talk about comes down to the fact that Phil- wether solo or with Genesis has never been considered ‘cool’. He’s always been a bit of an easy target.. this can be seen when punk came in, those bands were the complete opposite to the likes of genesis, Floyd & yes etc. As Geldof mentioned- Phil was everywhere in the 80’s so over familiarity breeds contempt as the saying goes. Spitting image used to rip into him almost weekly i remember. But the thing that really boiled my piss was I don’t think he’s ever had the acknowledgment from the non fans of just how much of an exceptional drummer Phil was. They just can’t get past the groovy kinda loves or one more night ballads. Ive no qualms in placing Phil easily amongst the top 5 rock drummers there’s ever been. It’s a shame to see him the way he is now, the years of touring & drumming have took their toll. It’s not a popular opinion but I hope he doesn’t put himself through the rigours of anymore future tours. I half think the recent tours in the last couple of years he’s done has been purely for his son- Nics benefit- to give him that leg up on the ladder. But that’s Phil, loves his family & generous to a fault. Thanks for the music Phil, God bless x
@@testtubeaccident7805 yep, it’s through that exceptional drumming to entertain the masses that caused bad posture and means he has the health problems he does now. The man nearly killed him self touring two thirds of every year for decades for people to slag him off, it’s a British trait to fuck people over who become too popular. Anyway Phil is in my top drummer list with Gavin Harrison.

Really is sad to see him with Orianne now. Say whatever you want about him hooking up with someone so young, but he's hardly the first rock star to do so. And yes, I bet more often then not those women are gold diggers. Even so, there is a special place in hell reserved for Orianne. Phil took her back after she squandered the huge divorce settlement. He took care of her after she was practically paralyzed after a surgery. He's the reason she's able to go out and buy expensive cars and get drastic plastic surgery. How does she repay him? She gets married to another man in secret, moves him into Phil's house, hires armed guards to keep everyone out, and releases a lot of grotesque (and likely made-up) stories about how he's a pathetic old man who smells bad and can't get it up. This is the father of her children! I really hope she gets booted out of the house with her pockets empty, and that their kids side with their dad.
Wow, I didn't know that - my last update was in the book, that they got back together! If this is true it's really sad and bad indeed, and Phil doesn't deserve it.
As a musician and keyboardist/composer, there are two things I fear most: 1) losing my fingers or hands, or injuring them, and 2) Going deaf like Phil in one or both ears
@@TheHasenbock Poor Phil....His many health conditions have held back who I consider the best, if not one of the best drummers, of all time. Peart included
I have my 10 top best drummers of the world here I go : Phil Collins Buddy Rich Gene Krupa Bill Bruford Steve Smith Carl Palmer Neil Peart Dennys Chambers Bill Cobham John Bonham I put Phil Collins at the top of the list coz I was inspired by his drumming to become a drummer, the rest of the list the order really dont matter
john bonham last, i like that cuz many drummers find bonham the best Drummer lol. dont know why cuz he can do some Diddles on Thirds BD, L ,R or BD R, L or L, R, BD, or R, L, BD, or Bassdrum in the Middle Kombination? Thomas Lang alone is fourth x what Bonham technicly even be able to play...cuz he is almost be able playin mirror he has no weakness in any hand or foot. But technic alone does not make a great drummerm feelin is even more important in a band. hold back ure ego and only came in when its important... thats the real callange
Give these guys a listen: Al Jackson (Booker T and the MG'S, Al Green) Roger Hawkins ( Muscle Shoals, Alabama) Gene Chrisman (American Studios, Memphis) Earl Palmer ( Specialty Records, later the Wrecking Crew) Ziggy Modeliste (The Meters) Dino Danelli (The Rascals) Panama Francis (Atlantic Records session drummer) Hal Blaine (The Wrecking Crew) Ronnie Tutt (Elvis) John 'Jabo' Starks ( James Brown) Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown)
It says a lot about Mike and Tony that both lead singers of Genesis went on to have massive solo careers. They’re excellent judges of talent. They’re very smart guys.
Thank You Phil Collins! I 💗 All of his Songs ‘n 🎶,Especially Your Drum Rift You Played During Your Signiature Song Which The Name of This Particular Song Escapes Me Right Now:) Does Anyone Know The Song?...
I could be wrong about this but I think it was Phil's Mum who discovered Jack Wild and got him cast as the artful Dodger in the movie version of Oliver, something connected to that, My Mum was in the same class as Jack Wild in nursery school, I think my grandparents knew his Aunt and Uncle.
Yes Phil knew Jack and his brother. In Phil’s autobiography there are pictures of them , as before Jack was cast in the movie, he’d played one of the gang on stage when Phil was the Artful dodger.
Age 14, Mystic,CT vinyl record in 1993. Saw the back cover of Brand X Moroccan Roll. Wait! WTF? Is that...? It is! Hey everyone look at this. As this was a trip, we pooled our $ together and had to wait (LP players were rare AF in 1993.) a whole week. That listening party changed my 15 year old friends. This was not the ‘nother day I’m paradise man. This was a man to be respected b/c he is both a craftsman and an artist.
I love genesis since 1973,i love their works.The lamb is a masterpiece.Phil was a great drummer ,but peter's vocals and Steve's guitar were unattainable.Later they became a mass group.

Chester Thompson is diplomatic when he says Phil was an untrained drummer that played things in an unorthodox way. He meant he played it wrong, non military, no marching bands and making it harder than it needed to be because he wasn't taught how to do it properly. Thompson has played with the highest level musicians and probably never played with untrained players before. Listening to Collins though, you'd never know it.
No doubt Chester is a drummer's drummer. Great jazz feel and great 'chops'. Anyone who can even get an audition with Zappa has to be the creme de la creme. He was the drummer on Inca Roads! And his playing with Weather Report....are you kidding me? Phil was a fan of WR and when Chester said he would love to play with Genesis, Mr. Thompson did not even have to try out! Obviously he had great respect for Phil Collins or would have never played with them for decades. Phil is the most underrated drummer around rock or fusion. Listen to Brand X and hear his subtle chops. He is the real deal. (ps Phil DID have lessons)

The room went crazy I had played that for years & had the sound in programmed in the machine.But I give U full credit for that. I just did my solo album after doing production & drums for the lasts 30yrs & sang for the first time out in where others could hear. It's doing much better than I thought .Put it out last Feb. was worried that it would tank,but the pandemic had everyone in listening to to music & got lucky people found it. My life has been parallel in many ways except your massive success .but still happy where I landed by the way many of my go to licks come from U !Thank you very much again! Terry at 59 now & the album was Multi- Genre this why I did not except much to happen.😎🎵🔈🎶👍
Where is your music? I'd like to hear it.
The greatest pool of musical talent ever assembled. Genesis during the 70s were second to none.
Have you ever heard of cream lol
Nonsense, there were a multitude of exceptional musically talented bands in the '70s.
I do not understand asinine statements like this!
@@AlexZander688 yeh Sweet, Slade, TRex, Status Quo, AC-DC, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd as name something
genesis rise in the 80th bzw. after seconds out done, to my thoughts
@@Thenorthsace In all fairness, Cream disbanded in '68...not a big fan of Cream, but I respect your preference...blessings...
Let's not forget how great he was n the Fusion Band BRAND X !
I LOVE hearing the background stories and seeing how things are done...
Yeah so do I just watching this now lovely watching
i want to specially appreciate you for been a big fan in such critical times and as a show of gratitude i'll be giving only a selected few of my top fans the opportunity of sending me a direct message via email using my private email and you've been randomly,selected and please be sure to include your name when writing me because i don't entertain vague messages. philip.davids.charles.collins@gmail.com
You can tell what kind of man is just by listening to what and how his children speak about their dad!
Thank you
Great drummer and great Artist and even if I never met him, he seems to be a very nice man.
I played for hours (when I was 15) A Trick Of Tail, Seconds Out,;Three Sides Life.... That is how I learned to play odd meters on that Great music of Genesis.
Saw Phil live in 1985 in Grenoble, Great and very pro !!
All the Best Phil !!
It always seemed to me that he is not a singer from the heart, but a perfect actor that plays a singer unbelievably well. And he is a clever businessman. His tour documentary is really good too.
Some of his vocals seem pretty heartfelt to me. Misunderstanding, That's All , Don't Care Anymore, Etc
He's a drummer at heart. A natural behind the kit.
Thank you for posting this documentary.
Land of confusion and Easy Lover were good songs I remember back in the 80’s
Daryl and Chester are members of Genesis in my book whether they wrote anything or not
Well said
I agree
I don't know about Chester, but Daryl wrote or co-wrote a number of Genesis/Collins' tunes, most famously 'Something Happened on the Way to Heaven'.
Here here!
That was the best documentary. I always knew Phil was a great guy...seeing him on stage so many times, it comes across. And seeing earlier Genesis interviews. But it was nice to see his friends and family confirm it. I loved this...I totally enjoyed it begin to end. His wife is beautiful. It's really a shame things turned so ugly to put it mildly between them. I think that's what broke him. I'm glad he's making a come back and I'll be there in New York to see it.
Everyone underestimated Phil. He blew the music snobs away.
THIS IS A MUST SEE 100% IT IS THE BEST ITS AWESOME !! IT IS THE MUST SEE ON YOU TUBE !!! ANY ONE THAT LIKES GENESIS OR PHIL JUST MUST SEE THIS 100%!!!
The goat 🐐 for me personally! Love him love genesis
The guys in Genesis all were creative and strong musically. It comes through in their speaking about their albums and touring. No one felt threatened by the other. Great chemistry. Great people.
Well... Up until they all felt threatened by Peter gaining too much attention :))
@@rains00the Perhaps, but I think it was Peter trying for more attention that got to the rest of them. After all, it was not HIS band despite the prancing around. As Phil said, it was about the music (until Gabriel made it about himself). When they got fed up, he left. Peter needed the spotlight.
@@rk41gator ya, no hate from me whatsoever, was just sayin' :)
@@rains00the me either. respect and appreciate both as genius.
@@rk41gator Tony Banks would not let Peter use his compositional or performance abilities. If he had consider what Genesis could have been when reviewing Peter's post Genesis work. It seems Tony may have learned something after watching Peter's and Phil's solo successes. Peter even references this is this video, talking about how he and Phil would play the piano when by themselves (40:05). You've have to watch other interviews Peter has given to really understand the comment.
Jeez Genesis were my favourite band, in the 80,s i swear i must have "air drummed" "dance on a volcano" a thousand times, it was just magical, i did,nt know that he could sing just as good at the time, all the albums up until Duke", were fantastic. I was for a little while adddicted to "seconds out", there was nothing like it at the time, ahh, such happy memories.
Still, till this day the two songs of his that had an enormous emotional effect on me were hold on my heart and Another Day in Paradise. There is something about hold on my heart that is so evocative, it lures you in and just brings a wave of Peace over me when I feel troubled.
Love you Phil ❤️
How this man is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ( Genesis not withstanding ) is just criminal
That's what a lot of people don't realize, he was also a drummer in a Jazz/fusion group, Brand X. People who only know him for a string of hitsingles in the 1980s will be surprised it they hear of this. He also rehearsed in a never-to-be group of Robert Fripp, John Wetton and himself. And those jams are really good
Phil, we are all given "wake up calls" and everyone tells me the 3 car accidents I was in occurred to make me slow down. I HAVE to believe it. So what did I do in-between surgeries and PT? I am earning my doctorate in special education. YOU are a true inspiration to me, and it makes me feel good knowing that I have a brother out there like me. All my love, Holly from Nevada.
I love these men. phil peter tony steve and mike.
Love Mike Rutherford too. x
really enjoyed this❤❤❤❤❤
My first set of drums was three"Quakeroats"Containers with 1/4 inch 12inches long wooden dowels for sticks and that was it .
GENIUS
OMG PHIL YOUR SON IS SOOOOO MUCH LIKE YOU !!!! ITS LIKE OMG ITS A YOUNGER YOU 100% !!!!!
Beautiful vid!! Makes you fall in love with him all over again. His mom is awesome!
Thanks for sharing.
I like the ending..With his loving mum.
A really good compilation; saddening to see the part with Orianne though, given how things had developed since...
She seemed a down to earth girl... but unlike Phil, it all went to her head.
Butlins at Clacton, I remember going there when I was around five. Would have been about 1953.
One hour and 34 minutes!!! I said to myself when I arrived here. Well there's no way I gonna chew that off. I'll just watch the first few minutes and move on...well here I am One hour and 34 minutes later...I really enjoyed that. And a big part of that is the burden of always being a fan of Genesis and Phil Collins and yet hiding it a bit because of this mysterious hatred and dismissal that floats about. I always took Phil as being exactly as this documentary supports through the words of Phil and his family and other musicians and all those who speak on this film. It's an odd Catch 22 kinda thing. Phil gets placed on a pedestal by those who know him because he doesn't want to be on the pedestal. But all the others think he revels in it and think he must believe he is so special and so the tearing down begins. Very unfortunate. I kinda liked the way Geldof says it on here and though gruff in his words it's probably true -basically: "he's a great ordinary brilliant dude but if he reads all his reviews and ruminates over them, he's an idiot" Well Phil's not an idiot but he sure doesn't need reviews to tell him he's a very good person as is better evidenced by the words of his children on here and the many others on here who know him from experience.
Nice comment, I think the ‘mysterious hatred’ you talk about comes down to the fact that Phil- wether solo or with Genesis has never been considered ‘cool’.
He’s always been a bit of an easy target.. this can be seen when punk came in, those bands were the complete opposite to the likes of genesis, Floyd & yes etc.
As Geldof mentioned- Phil was everywhere in the 80’s so over familiarity breeds contempt as the saying goes.
Spitting image used to rip into him almost weekly i remember.
But the thing that really boiled my piss was I don’t think he’s ever had the acknowledgment from the non fans of just how much of an exceptional drummer Phil was.
They just can’t get past the groovy kinda loves or one more night ballads.
Ive no qualms in placing Phil easily amongst the top 5 rock drummers there’s ever been.
It’s a shame to see him the way he is now, the years of touring & drumming have took their toll.
It’s not a popular opinion but I hope he doesn’t put himself through the rigours of anymore future tours.
I half think the recent tours in the last couple of years he’s done has been purely for his son- Nics benefit- to give him that leg up on the ladder.
But that’s Phil, loves his family & generous to a fault.
Thanks for the music Phil, God bless x
@@testtubeaccident7805 yep, it’s through that exceptional drumming to entertain the masses that caused bad posture and means he has the health problems he does now. The man nearly killed him self touring two thirds of every year for decades for people to slag him off, it’s a British trait to fuck people over who become too popular. Anyway Phil is in my top drummer list with Gavin Harrison.
@@testtubeaccident7805 2 spinal surgery's did him in also.....sad

Really is sad to see him with Orianne now. Say whatever you want about him hooking up with someone so young, but he's hardly the first rock star to do so. And yes, I bet more often then not those women are gold diggers. Even so, there is a special place in hell reserved for Orianne. Phil took her back after she squandered the huge divorce settlement. He took care of her after she was practically paralyzed after a surgery. He's the reason she's able to go out and buy expensive cars and get drastic plastic surgery. How does she repay him? She gets married to another man in secret, moves him into Phil's house, hires armed guards to keep everyone out, and releases a lot of grotesque (and likely made-up) stories about how he's a pathetic old man who smells bad and can't get it up. This is the father of her children! I really hope she gets booted out of the house with her pockets empty, and that their kids side with their dad.
Wow, I didn't know that - my last update was in the book, that they got back together! If this is true it's really sad and bad indeed, and Phil doesn't deserve it.
He didn't deserve that at all ... ! I breaks my heart to see him struggle as it is. Hope he will be able to be on stage soon as that gives him energy
Orianne looks terrible, she used to be lovely looking
@@rebeccalucero3666 face lifts and botox makes them look so unappealing
Phil successfully got an injunction and Orianne has been asked to vacate the premises or be charged with trespassing. Girl, bye.
PERFECTION !!!!
Yes. I still would.
As a musician and keyboardist/composer, there are two things I fear most: 1) losing my fingers or hands, or injuring them, and 2) Going deaf like Phil in one or both ears
3. maybe get problems with shoulders as a drummer
@@TheHasenbock Poor Phil....His many health conditions have held back who I consider the best, if not one of the best drummers, of all time. Peart included
You forgot having a crazy ex wife as another reason
AWESOME !! YES AWESOME !! JUST AWESOME !!!!
I have my 10 top
best drummers
of the world
here I go :
Phil Collins
Buddy Rich
Gene Krupa
Bill Bruford
Steve Smith
Carl Palmer
Neil Peart
Dennys Chambers
Bill Cobham
John Bonham
I put Phil Collins at the top of the list coz I was inspired by his drumming to become a drummer, the rest of the list the order really dont matter
john bonham last, i like that cuz many drummers find bonham the best Drummer lol.
dont know why cuz he can do some Diddles on Thirds BD, L ,R or BD R, L or L, R, BD, or R, L, BD, or Bassdrum in the Middle Kombination?
Thomas Lang alone is fourth x what Bonham technicly even be able to play...cuz he is almost be able playin mirror he has no weakness in any hand or foot.
But technic alone does not make a great drummerm feelin is even more important in a band.
hold back ure ego and only came in when its important... thats the real callange
Don Henley is up there with Phil
Give these guys a listen:
Al Jackson (Booker T and the MG'S, Al Green)
Roger Hawkins ( Muscle Shoals, Alabama)
Gene Chrisman (American Studios, Memphis)
Earl Palmer ( Specialty Records, later the Wrecking Crew)
Ziggy Modeliste (The Meters)
Dino Danelli (The Rascals)
Panama Francis (Atlantic Records session drummer)
Hal Blaine (The Wrecking Crew)
Ronnie Tutt (Elvis)
John 'Jabo' Starks ( James Brown)
Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown)
I'm sorry Phil, you ARE a perfectionist and we love you that way!
LOVE HIM💕💕💕💕
It says a lot about Mike and Tony that both lead singers of Genesis went on to have massive solo careers. They’re excellent judges of talent. They’re very smart guys.
Yes, Simon, he is loved❤️
Thank you 😊
I can hardly understand a few words anytime Rutherford or Banks make an interview.
Rutherford has a mumbling English accent but I’ve listened to him long enough now that I understand. Tony is a lot more proper but very soft spoken.
Turn on the option for your captions.

Thanks for the upload. Too bad about Orianne......he seemed so happy in 2002.
I could be wrong about this but I think it was Phil's Mum who discovered Jack Wild and got him cast as the artful Dodger in the movie version of Oliver, something connected to that, My Mum was in the same class as Jack Wild in nursery school, I think my grandparents knew his Aunt and Uncle.
Yes Phil knew Jack and his brother. In Phil’s autobiography there are pictures of them , as before Jack was cast in the movie, he’d played one of the gang on stage when Phil was the Artful dodger.
The only thing I remember from nursery crime is a song about a monster hedge and a picture of Gabriel dressed like a cabinet on the inner sleeve
BOB HOSKINS SAYS IT BEST 100%
What a lovely mother.
for a non-native English speaker, Phil and Peter are easy to understand, but Mike and Tony are almost impossible
Yeah, it's the same for me. Mike and Tony have a ver tight accent.
Age 14, Mystic,CT vinyl record in 1993. Saw the back cover of Brand X Moroccan Roll. Wait! WTF? Is that...? It is! Hey everyone look at this. As this was a trip, we pooled our $ together and had to wait (LP players were rare AF in 1993.) a whole week. That listening party changed my 15 year old friends. This was not the ‘nother day I’m paradise man. This was a man to be respected b/c he is both a craftsman and an artist.
my man philly c...❤
LOVELY
Total side note: Tarzan, the cartoon character, has eyes drawn to look exactly like Phil's 💙
Aww Phil has such beautiful eyes!
Favorite soundtrack
be a great guy to get to meet one day. maybe
Excelente baterista. Um gênio!!
Well Phil Collins We’re Waiting
Interesting about Phil Collins
I love genesis since 1973,i love their works.The lamb is a masterpiece.Phil was a great drummer ,but peter's vocals and Steve's guitar were unattainable.Later they became a mass group.
Leonard I don't know why you guys love peter so much he wasn't that great and he was absolutely the weirdest guy and voice wasn't all of that either.
me since 77, kissed my first girl hearin follow you follow short time after. tater went on open air in Ulm germany with frank zappa, and genesis as first act 80.000 @place, and specely green laser show in end shining endlessly into space... never forgotten. they must put a cable to next trafo station to get enough power for Laser. 3" in diameter
Why wasn’t The Mamá Tour video put on DVD ? Why o Why? Anyone

36:29 Phil Collins being a British Jimmy Buffett
Wow,Bob Hoskins showed up in the video and I thought it was Phil's brother.
nice
4:35 i guess you could say they "Know What They Like"
Chester Thompson is diplomatic when he says Phil was an untrained drummer that played things in an unorthodox way. He meant he played it wrong, non military, no marching bands and making it harder than it needed to be because he wasn't taught how to do it properly. Thompson has played with the highest level musicians and probably never played with untrained players before. Listening to Collins though, you'd never know it.
No doubt Chester is a drummer's drummer. Great jazz feel and great 'chops'. Anyone who can even get an audition with Zappa has to be the creme de la creme. He was the drummer on Inca Roads! And his playing with Weather Report....are you kidding me? Phil was a fan of WR and when Chester said he would love to play with Genesis, Mr. Thompson did not even have to try out! Obviously he had great respect for Phil Collins or would have never played with them for decades. Phil is the most underrated drummer around rock or fusion. Listen to Brand X and hear his subtle chops. He is the real deal. (ps Phil DID have lessons)
I could see Daniel Radcliffe starring as Phil in his biopic
If you'll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes.
