Well Genesis' biggest hit was Mama. Would be interesting to see what or who you guys think the lyrics are about. That said, you could look at early Genesis, with Collins on drums and Gabriel on vocals.
This is a very haunting song. I get chills every time I hear this song. Phil Collins music is fantastic. He has many great hits and with Genesis. Still Loving the rewind tonight.
That performance is why this man is legend and so passionate about his drumming and this song absolutely nails it without an doubt and shows the younger generation how it's done. It's like now you come perform and fellow that performance I dare you. I would definitely not like to perform after that for sure. He killed it.
This guy was a drummer first and loved it. Became a singer because Genesis wanted him to do it. He is a great songwriter, and plays multiple instruments. He is also an actor in more than one movie. A lot of his music was used in Miami Vice, and he played a role in that show. After he went solo, he matched the Beatles and Michael Jackson in record sales. He is a Pom, but apparently the rest of the world loves his music more than the poms. Do you think you should check him out now?
Phil Collins started as the Drummer of Genesis. He was also the lead singer of that band after his friend Peter Gabriel left to spend time with his family.
Keep in mind Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis.Ive seen this guy live 5 times....so I’m older, trust me when I tell you, no auto tune, no click tracks - real talent like this was everywhere in the 1980’s. You can use billboard charts for music as your guide to what was popping off at the time. It’s all good stuff.
It’s great seeing you lads recognize a great song. The first time I heard it on its release in the 80s it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck - it still does to this day!
It’s a classic, iconic song that gets tons of radio play steady ever since it’s release. Awesome song :) LOL your surprise when he got on drums - He is a drummer by trade lol - always was very unique to have lead singer be the drummer too :)
I was at a concert of Phils in the 80s and he opened with this number. Fantastic. He also brought on Eric Clapton.. Came out with ears ringing but fantastic evening and great memories. Also saw him and so many other great acts at Live Aid.. 💖💖👏👏👏 He, was always a drummer first
Okay, I'm really trying here but Phil is a huge British icon, drummer/singer, how do you guys not know this?? This song is still huge no matter where you hear it. I saw him do this front and center and you honestly did yourselves a disservice by skipping a good portion of the entrance. That is the point of how he does this performance. You can hear a pin drop that's how mesmerized he has his audience. Even just for yourselves you should watch it again..the whole thing.
Boys, Phil is highly regarded as one of the best drummers in history. As an artist he is one of the greatest as well. I believe he has had a #1 hit in 3 different decades. Glad you are starting to hear his stuff.
Phil also had music on the TV show Miami Vice and was a frequent guest. One of the first to use lazers. Going to live concerts then was so cool, no silly backup dancers just raw talent.
You boys have missed a legend. Phil Collins is an amazing song writer, world class drummer, great entertainer and an amazing singer. He started out as the drummer for Genesis before becoming the front man and then going solo. Between his solo career and Genesis material, you two have a ton of songs to go watch. You missed an entire generation of great music - long before singers had to use auto tune to make themselves sound good. If you really want a treat, look up, "Phil Collins Chester Thompson drum duet" here on TH-cam. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
He was a drummer before he was a singer in a group called Genesis and Peter Gabriel was the singer and Gabriel left the band and went on his own, then Collins became the frontman and everybody found out, This guy can sing, also he was a very good drummer, maybe one of the best!
Phil and the original “waiting for the beat drop “. Sadly, he had to stop drumming because of nerve damage. He has to sit in a chair during his performances. But his son Nicholas is now drumming for his dad and is just as good and is only 19.
Hahahaha he wasn't on the phone that's his microphone because he needs his hands free coming up here in a few minutes to blow us all away! 😂😂 Epic performance!
One of my favorite all time musicians . Brilliant drummer, singer, songwriter. Song written after he knew his wife cheating on him. Long story short..divorced and remarried. He's amazing. Great all the adjectives that describe Phil Collins. He had surgery for neck and other injuries from playing drums for decades. . His son actually went on tour with him and can play drums and other instruments just like his dad. He filled in on the drums for In the Air Tonight on tour. I will reply in comments with Nick on drums. Great reaction guys.
He started as a drummer for Genesis he's a great drummer , thats why the crowd starts going going off when he gets close to the drum kit they know what's coming
Le: This was so PERFECT that I even told my father for him to say: What are u talking about? Collins knows everything that deals with instruments, music, that mans a MASTER.
Before he took on the role of lead vocalist for Genesis, he was drummer and backing vocalist for many, many years in Genesis. He is, undoubtedly, a great drummer and this is not his greatest drumming example. You should hear some of the crazy timings early Genesis used to play to in songs like Dance on a Volcano. Note also, that in this live performance there were two drummers playing together, Phil Collins and Chester Thompson. I was back stage at Live Aid, Wembley, in 1985. Phil Collins played a live set at Wembley and then jumped on a Concorde, flew to NYC and played a live set there for the same event which had two simultaneous concerts going, one in London and one in New York.
That is quite a story and quite an opportunity. Thanks for sharing. I saw them in my hometown in the 80-90’s too. Too bad this generation can’t experience this live and in person.
Phil Collins started as a drummer....a group called "Genesis".... he's a very talented musician and singer.... glad you enjoyed it.... the music of my middle years...this came out in '81...I was 39 that year........
Guys you need to google him or Wikipedia he’s no spring chicken. He’s been in the music business for years both in band as lead singer and drummer too ... composer too.
One of the wonders of the world when he sits down and plays the drums on this song. Schools should show this in lessons. He is truly one of a kind, we will never see the likes of him again.
Unfortunately he no longer can play the drums due to an injury to his back. He's currently on tour with his son Nick drumming. The tour is the Not Dead Tour. I fortunately got to see him live several times both on solo tours and with Genesis.
Lol! I never expected a couple of scousers. From the Port myself! Phil Collins, back in the day, one of the best rock drummer and vocalists of all time. Great solo artist, but you should check out him playing for Genesis too. And for shear percussion genius, some of his best work was with a jazz / rock fusion band called Brand X. As for Genesis, check out Firth of Fifth, Supers ready, and the Musical Box, to name but 3. They will blow your mind!
Writing, singing and playing since the 60s. Born Chiswick (as was Pete Townshend). Wrote for others as well ans still going. Check out Against All Odds - and so many others The anticipation and joy from this song. Truly original. Gotta go - drums are coming up....
Subscribed .. 😱 You have no idea.. Phil Collins was a drummer who was asked to sing because they couldn't find anyone else worthy.. He went on to turn everything to gold he touched like a little leprechaun.. Their was a time in the 80s that he was the most popular on MTV in a time when 100s of bands and singers were making the 80s the best music of any generation.. This song has hidden meanings but the music ♬ ♪ ♫ was unforgettable.. Thanks 😔 🙏
Phil Collins was the drummer in the band, Genesis. When Peter Gabriel left the band to pursue a solo career, they asked Phil Collins to fill in. Everyone ended up loving his sound. He left Genesis to pursue his own solo career. Both Phil and Peter were huge successes. This song was written after the break up of Phil's first marriage. No hidden meanings imo.
@@actormanic 60s was the next greatest music generation.. But the 80s brought in MTV and VH1 to promote it.. Yes 80s had the best music in all avenues.. Rock /country /Folk /Metal /Punk /R&B.. Yes 80s best
He has always been the drummer. When the lead singer quit, they convinced him to sing. He hated being in the spot light, at first. It, obviously, worked out for him! Thank God!
also I heard that Roger Taylor (the drummer from Queen, Which BTW is a great person and great in singing and drumming. idk why i'm mentioning this but yea) so Basically Genesis wanted Roger Taylor as drummer but he refused. Roger is great at drumming and singing, he searched for a band that time but still he refused. But if he had not refused then there would be no Phil Collins as we know him today. (also roger taylor and phil collins are friends. Actually Phil is friends with the whole band. Also on this idk why I'm mentioning it but I love Queen)
Back in the 90s I knew a stripper named Care Bear who used to do the most amazing pole dance to this song, lol. Love you guys and your enthusiasm for the oldies.
Love your reactions guys , that's how we all felt when we all first heard this back in the 80s. This live version I think is even better than the studio version. Rave on Phil .
Actually Phil Collins has debilitating arthritis which is why he can’t play through a full concert anymore. But he misses performing and is doing as much as he can. Phenomenal!

Philip Bailey & Phil Collins Easy Lover
"I Don't Care Anymore" is a great one.
This is a great video = Jesus he knows me. Phil Collins was also in a band called Genesis. th-cam.com/video/35K6vQRt67g/w-d-xo.html
Suggest you look up In the Air Tonight Gorilla. The full version lasts about 4.30 minutes. Just stick with it!
That’s why the crowd starts cheering before he even sits down at the drums, it’s probably the most iconic drum transition in music history!
Absolutely intense! I don’t care how many times I watch this, it’s still INTENSE! You know it’s coming.
Just watched again last night! 🥁
FACTS!
It is
Yeah they kind of ruin for everyone when they start cheering and made me mad because wanted to be surprised but they messed me up.
The younger generation doesn't realize just how HUGE Phil Collins & Genesis were in the 70's, 80's & 90's
Right?? 🤘🤘
Yeah.
I can't dance, though
Phil Collins is one of the most respected drummers in the world. It's about time you guys found that out.
No one ever forgets the first time they hear Phil Collins In The Air Tonight. It's always epic.
This is a very haunting song. I get chills every time I hear this song. Phil Collins music is fantastic. He has many great hits and with Genesis. Still Loving the rewind tonight.
Everyone is in anticipation of that incredible drum fill. Probably the most iconic.
Good Lord. How do you not know this song? Best drum solo ever. 🤔
It's called a drum fill,sis.🌹
That wasn't madness you just heard and witnessed a legendary drummer and singer.
That performance is why this man is legend and so passionate about his drumming and this song absolutely nails it without an doubt and shows the younger generation how it's done.

Never gets old seeing young people react to this song.
It’s great seeing you lads recognize a great song. The first time I heard it on its release in the 80s it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck - it still does to this day!
You just heard the most iconic drum intro in rock history from one of the top selling artists of all time!
It’s a classic, iconic song that gets tons of radio play steady ever since it’s release. Awesome song :) LOL your surprise when he got on drums - He is a drummer by trade lol - always was very unique to have lead singer be the drummer too :)

I thought the same thing. It's like saying you don't know who BB King or Ray Charles are, and that you didn't know what instruments they play...
You can thank that man for the entire score of Disney’s TARZAN as well!
Phil Collins is a drummer first and foremost, yes he can sing, but I think we can all agree the drums are just what he does best.
Hes multi talented as hes an actor as well, but drummer first and foremost
As other people have said...it is like law...when you hear this song, you have to do the air drums! LOL
legit!
Phil Collins is the MAN!!! Top performers of all time! In my opinion.
The GOAT of singing while drumming, completely different rhythm’s to maintain. Absolute legend
Phil Collins started his musical career as a drummer. Then he became the frontman for Genesis.
Boys, Phil is highly regarded as one of the best drummers in history. As an artist he is one of the greatest as well. I believe he has had a #1 hit in 3 different decades. Glad you are starting to hear his stuff.
Also one of only 3 artists to have sold 100million plus records with both a band and as a solo artist
Phil Collins
Michael jackson
Paul McCartney
He is an Epic drummer. This song has one of best drum solos ever.
How many play "Air Drums" on the dash EVERY time this comes on the radio?
Phil also had music on the TV show Miami Vice and was a frequent guest. One of the first to use lazers. Going to live concerts then was so cool, no silly backup dancers just raw talent.

I watched Phil live last December and he was brilliant. When he sang "In the Air Tonight" the crowd went nuts. Iconic singer and song.
He was a drummer before he was a singer in a group called Genesis and Peter Gabriel was the singer and Gabriel left the band and went on his own, then Collins became the frontman and everybody found out, This guy can sing, also he was a very good drummer, maybe one of the best!
Band called Genesis. Collins was a drummer (a great one). He started to singing after Gabriel`s gone, first in the band, then solo.
@@viaverde3153 Did I spell that wrong, sorry and thank you for getting it right. And I fix it, How does it look now?
... and what a songwriter 😉

Phil was a drummer before he was a singer. He played drums with Genesis.
When Peter Gabriel left Genesis he then took over lead vocals for the band too. :)

Oh you guys are so young! You crack me up! Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis before his solo career.
And he is deaf
One of the best drum solos ever. When Phil Collins hits that drum I get cold chills.
Hey bro,it's called a drum fill.
Now That's how to start a Concert! One of the most famous Drum riffs in history!
He started as a drummer and fell into singing, which I'm very grateful for because he's freaking amazing. Rain Down is so good boys😁
You all are Phil Collins converts. Watching your reactions made this ole lady smile

Listen to the crowd start going off the closer he gets to his drums he's a world-class driver and lead vocals
8:05 not laughing anymore are we?
That drum solo in the middle of the song is iconic. It's so basic yet so powerful!
Haunting and wonderful.He is something.Drummer and singer extraordinaire.One of the best live things I have ever seen.
Guys you need to google him or Wikipedia he’s no spring chicken. He’s been in the music business for years both in band as lead singer and drummer too ... composer too.
Always get goosebumps watching this performance, love it
I did too - again ❤
As much talent as one person can have….
Phil Collins was a drummer for GENESIS, HIS OWN SONGS, as well as WE ARE THE WORLD song.
You skipped the whole first verse and most of the second.
One of the wonders of the world when he sits down and plays the drums on this song. Schools should show this in lessons. He is truly one of a kind, we will never see the likes of him again.
They drove the last spike.
@@inglepropnoosegarm7801 🤭, I wasn't thinking of Driving The Last Spike when I replied , another tremendous song
This gets a lot of radio play or use to but you still hear it on the radio 📻 now and then , and its been featured on several movies and TV 📺 shows
'He's gonna go on the drums...'I wasn't expecting that'
Phil Collins former drummer for Genesis...
He's one the best drummers of all time
The one in the hat lying down -"I just want to take a rest for a bit, oh my days lad!" LMAO 😂😂😂👏👏👏
Unfortunately he no longer can play the drums due to an injury to his back. He's currently on tour with his son Nick drumming. The tour is the Not Dead Tour. I fortunately got to see him live several times both on solo tours and with Genesis.
Saw the Genesis Tour Invisible touch. Had front row center seats. Awesome show.

You’re from the UK and you don’t know Phil Collins. Y’all need better friends
Good one i agree dumbasses respect fr MR COLLINS
wow! he was the drummer in genesis, before the lead singer left, so he took over!
The lead singer that left genesis before phil collins took over was peter gabriel.
This song was famously used to advertise cadbury dairy milk chocolate, with a gorilla playing the drums
You think that's crazy, go play this in the car one night while your driving the freeway!
This song is iconic. He wrote it when he was going through a divorce,
He has always been the drummer. When the lead singer quit, they convinced him to sing. He hated being in the spot light, at first. It, obviously, worked out for him! Thank God!

Your comment also applies to Karen Carpenter. She never wanted to be out front...drumming was her first and greatest love.
Back in the 90s I knew a stripper named Care Bear who used to do the most amazing pole dance to this song, lol. Love you guys and your enthusiasm for the oldies.
the intro is like a tornado siren before the tornado! quiet then after a while BOOM!
Watching them not understanding Phil Collins is a class drummer and waiting for it was fun. lol
Now do "Another Day in Paradise"
What are you eating? This is an epic song this is one that everybody should have in their catalog of songs
Bros, he always played drums and sang, first in the band Genesis, then on his own..He has a son that plays also 🥰
His daughter Lily is damn' talented as well. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
He's got two sons playing drums. Simon and Nicholas and Nicholas will be playing drums on the forthcoming Genesis Reunion tour.
Love your reactions guys , that's how we all felt when we all first heard this back in the 80s. This live version I think is even better than the studio version. Rave on Phil .
What's also mind blowing is he's almost 60 in this...
Actually Phil Collins has debilitating arthritis which is why he can’t play through a full concert anymore. But he misses performing and is doing as much as he can.
Phenomenal!
His son plays the drums when he last toured.
One of the best drummer of all time.
LOVE watching you kids react to this massive talent that I've known for forty years. Enjoy!
Thank you for choosing Phil Collins he is a legend he can play those drums and love to hear his voice
How many people?
Everyone who could get there and millions waiting outside. Many many people consider this the greatest rock drum solo of all time.
It's called a drum fill.
He started out as a drummer of the 80s band Genesis. Then he became lead singer.
First kidding than blown away ... love always the reaction when he start playing the drums
If you don't get the chills when he does the drums solo, check your pulse. You may have been unplugged. Mic drop moment.............
