Phil’s drumming was as strong as his voice. He was a multi-talented powerhouse.
Phil is a supremely accomplished drummer
His singing is great but his drumming is world class. Listen to Nuclear Burn by Brand X to hear him firing on all cylinders.
Love his technique and voice
@@jonnykhatru Thanks. I have never bothered to venture into Brand X. I will do so now.
Yes. He was an amazing singer and drummer.
This song was on the radio during my last car ride with my Dad. I was 27 and he was 61, and it was the winter of 1983-84. Every time I hear it, I think of that ride. The last time we had together just the two of us....
God bless your father😌🌈❤
@@sonicjet7759 Thank you. ♥
Amazing how music brings back memories in only a small period of time..
Sooo, he just ran off the road and into a ravine?
I lost my dad too so I get it! I also used to listen this with my Brother who is also a fan. I miss them days Brother! So Sorry for your loss!
Man this song never gets old!!!
Sonic glory.
Agreed!!!
Ditto.
I’m 57!! A teen when he came out
Truth
A show of hands if you're still listening to ALL of your favorite Genesis songs in 2024, not just Abacab.
yup....but 99% with Gabriel.
lol it's currently May 15th 2024 and I was just about to say I'm still listening in 2024 😊
Still in 2024
I’m 67. Never to old to rock n roll
On a regular basis
I don't know why Phil is not appreciated - he was one of the strongest Drummers of his time! Plus a very good Musician and Singer! Asked how he got such a BIG drum sound he replied " I buy fuckin' BIG drums!!!" respect!
I love Phil's humor, must've been great to have the opportunity to meet him. I would love nothing more than to
Shake his hand and say thank you.
Not to forget about all the other guys that contributed to Genesis and Phil Collins Solo. I love them all equally.
@Nelson Robert Willis Excellent insight. NOT an exaggeration. Genesis and Phil Collins will be revered in the decades to come, I predict. Much as some classical composers and performers of their day were vastly under appreciated. History has a way of letting the cream rise. We must just enjoy the creative genius and let the critics wallow in their ignorance and self importance.
(it is so fun to see the recent reaction videos becoming so popular seeing Phil Collins for the first time....in his later LIVE version of 'In the Air Tonight' they are blown away when he slyly jumps on the drums at the last second. Being coached as a young actor he knows how to use drama. He brought a lot more to Genesis than just great drums and a perfect voice)
@Nelson Robert Willis Thanks. I have only seen the usual suspects on TH-cam, not the other serious use of their creative genius. Post some if you will.
@Nelson Robert Willis Thanks again. I checked into it and you are so right. Dave Meyers is amazing. But this jazz group (link below) is beyond good. If you like jazz, you don't even need to know the music to be blown away, but to know it is crazy. SO GOOD. I only hope Phil Collins has heard this, I am sure he would approve:
th-cam.com/video/ZMVPA0aYcbc/w-d-xo.html
he looks like he is using an 18" bass drum. that's a small drum.
Genesis early 80s is just phenomenal . To this day, listening to it now is like the first time.
There stuff in the Gabriel era is 10000x better tan this.
@@ajfitzgerald2559 gotta agree because suppers ready. But this is still good
rj zander not really
You said it man!!!!!!
Early 80s Genesis is fantastic, and gets slept on too often. People who insist Genesis was only good in the Gabriel era irritate me nearly as much as people who insist Rush didn't exist after Moving Pictures.
My mom died when I was 23 in 2013. All my life her license plate was ABACAB and i never understood it until after the fact. So this song grew on me after all these years lol
Your mom knew what was up!! Now she lives in you! Peace and best wishes always. ♫♪♫
What does the title of the song mean? Is it an acronym for something?
Listening in 2024- almost 80 but STILL ROCKIN’!!
Same age here and still rock n rolling 😊
As a drummer Phil amazes me how he kept such great time and sang.
I was just watching another channel, and learned that Phil Collins has been a child actor, played the piano, sang, and played the drums since he was 10. Professionally doing this since he was 10.
He's no Lars tho
@@jasonpierce4518 LOL. The Big Lebowski.
@@leehasselbeck453ugh
Yes. He had plenty of practice backing Peter in the early days
2024 and this still rocks,when i listen to this my whole neighborhood listens 🎶🎸😗💨
Exactly what's happening at my house right now..the whole street is listening to this with me whether they like it or not..Turn It On Again is next..😉🤣
How does he keep one beat with the right hand, and a faster beat against the cymbals with another hand, and then maintain a rhythm with his foot - and sing this song?
Like wtf?
And playing guitar 🎸 and 🎹 keyboards with two hands while background singing is no simple feat either.
They deserve millions.
For these musical contortions, sure.
But for composing the background music of my youth?
How could I ever thank Genesis?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To be fair, having actually played this song on keys it's deceptively simple. It's jus Genesis
🤔
left handed
He's a drummer. Most do it all the time.
@@Pianomn626 He was talking about Phil on the drums and how he's a Musical Genius. 😎
For the gear nerds, at 2:18 you can see the two drum machines Genesis was using at the time: the CR-78 (Duchess, Me & Sarah Jane) perched on top of Tony's Yamaha piano and a TR-808 (Man on the Corner, No Reply At All) on a stand right nearby.
And Phil is actually scat-singing during the first bars of Tony's synth solo (performed on an ARP Quadra).
Phil Collins and Genesis recorded some of the best songs in history. My first concert was seeing Genesis in 1986 in Atlanta. I camped out for tickets.I wish I could go back to the 80s and live it over again.
I saw them in Atlanta in 86 too. Great show!
Damn nice
First concert I ever went to was Genesis on Jan 10th 1984 Tacoma Dome. So fun. Although RUSH is my all time fav.(saw them 9 times) I loved seeing Genesis. Really great band!
@@Stevie7316 RUSH you ain't lyin. Wish I could've seen them in concert! 2112, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures all awesome!!
Geezus! I can't even cut my toenails and have a conversation at the same time. Drumming and being the lead singer is just total beast mode. Hats off to Phil Collins and Don Henley!
Check out Geddy Lee of Rush, vocals, complicated bass lines and keyboards with his feet! Genius
I hear you. Drummers have both hands and both feet going, and there's no guarantee that the vocal rhythms will match what the drums are doing.
Funny about the toenails!Agree about the front man!
1 big difference. Don Henley sucks on the drums, while Phil crushes it. So there is that.
@@eriklarson9137 amen brother!
The driving bass/keyboard rhythm is intense, gives the song a jazzy, krautrock feel. These three were at their peak around here, just phenomenal live and studio musicians.
Still listening in 2024!
Me too!!!
Wish my volume would go louder!
Me too!!!!
was 11 when it went out.. and still cannot stop listening to this gold pearl
Turned 40 this year, I guess that makes me old enough to respect this in 24
Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2019
Me!
Of course. I only listen to good music, and since commercial radio no longer plays good music, this is where I come to get my fix.
July 5th, 2019
Yes indeed, killer tune & video. July 13, 2019
When it comes on the radio I always blast it. Especially the hypnotic part.
This is one of my favorite songs ever, so uniquely structured and executed!
I remember this video from MTV when we first had cable!! 😆🔥👍🏾😎
Phils drumming is masterclass.
True!!!!
As is Tony's keyboard work.
Aaah. This single version kills me. I need that little jam section towards the end.
Going by Phil's current state of health, he might not be around much longer, so I'm getting Genesis and Phil out of my system. Who am I kidding? I'll listen to him until I die myself.
His Son is also an impressive drummer these days.
Nicolas Collins is a Swiss-born drummer, known for his association with his father Phil Collins, Genesis and Mike and the Mechanics, as well as for his band, Better Strangers. ♫♪♫
1982 this was in full MTV rotation
mtv played music?
@@hg321 Yes.
Once upon a time.
In the long long ago.
Happy Genesis Day
This song got me seriously hooked on Genesis many years ago and I’ve never pulled back. Genesis is the bomb with Phil!
This is one creative song. The intro hooked me immediately. Masterpiece!!
And what the hells Ole Peter, chopped liver?
Brandi Reynolds this band is awesome and a good song back than !!! Miss Reynolds we have something in common may God bless you !!!
I was blessed to see them in concert, many moons ago.
@@fanmaxis3004 not as good as phil.
when i listen to Genises it brings me back to when i was about 13 to 14 years old which would be 1982-83 my brother and i was cruisin from Sacramento to Fairfield California with Genises on the radio the song was Missed Again love that song and the memories
Im still amazed at how he can both drum and sing at the same time, pure talent 🤯
I attended 2 Genesis concerts on 2 consecutive nights in Oakland, CA. Today is my 67th birthday = 18 June, 2024. Born in Oakland too. The A's won 3 World Series championships: 1972-3-4! Totally cool! Paternal Grandparents built their home at 401 Hampton Rd., Piedmont, CA in 1926. Peace & Love, Cav! *
Happy Belated Birthday !
One of my all time favs from Genesis.
Same here. I practically grew up listening to this gem of a song.👍
I've been listening to this song since I was 8 years old. Jamming with my huge headphones on full blast. 2022 it's still one of my favorite songs. I'll never stop listening!
Their best song. Their masterpiece
lol, now id have to argue the man on the corner, kinda really rocks:)
I love Genesis so much!!! I'm so in love with all the "new" old music I'm discovering recently! Something in this speaks to me.
Great sounds, unlike todays total CRAP.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
We were definitely blessed with music back then!
Keep back cataloging kid!! You won't regret it
@@vannjunkin8041 cataloguing
The story of how they named this song is great. A B A C A B was the order they played the different patterns of this song.
A- verse, B - chorus, C - bridge
Solsbury hill. Had. Pattern as well
Oh thank you!
I thought it was the determinants for a linear eauation of two variables until I remembered it was AC AB CA CB
Aah, that explains why ABBA are so shit then!
For anyone who doubts the talent of Phil, try singing and drumming at the same time.
This was the very first album I ever bought with my own money. I was 13 and used birthday money. I still have the vinyl record! ABACAB!!
I was 12 and bought the 8-track. lol.
It was 1980 and I bought the album my 3rd year in college Woke up about 7 AM every weekday, put on my headphones, smoked some weed and listened over and over What an awesome album and group of superior musicians
I still do. Love it. I'm African American. I grew up on this music. I'm from Virginia Beach. With multi culture back ground. My son is married to a Caucasian beautiful Woman. Who's about to bless me with a beautiful grand baby. They will have all the love the family can give. I love old school music. I graduate from Oscar Smith High school. We were a family then, and still is. The class of 1981. Last name Jones . Charlotte.
One of my first too. When I had money 6 years later, I got it😂.
There’s a hole in it somewhere!
Can't remember a time when Genesis wasn't on the radio or on tour somewhere.
Who's still listening to this great band in 2023 !!!! We love @Genesis ❤ /. @philcollins ❤😊
Still.best.group.ever
I love Genesis and Phil Collins. How many groups have their drummer front lining the group. Phil is a Legend
The Mentors, Wargasm, etc....just a few metal bands that came to mind.
The Eagles
I agree, and Phil’s voice is so unique that you can’t mistake it, the emotion he puts into it gives just as much message as the lyrics of the songs that he could sing nonsense words and you’d still feel the meaning behind the song.
@@rjillidge3 Eagles were split between Glenn Frey and Don Henley.
Levon Helm from The Band.
Aw these guys were so young back then. Mike Rutherford could pass as a surfer Dead Head, and Tony a Hipster. Pretty awesome to see them at this point in their lives. I really appreciate the ingenuity of their creative output in their arrangements.
Phil Collins never looked young.....
th-cam.com/video/8OIkw9kJ0u4/w-d-xo.html
no matter what era, there is nothing at all like Genesis - brilliant
7th grade man. ❤ Genesis.
All these years later such a great song. Then and Now. Rock On
Show of hands if you're listening to this in 2023 please 🎉 Rock on!
it literally just popped in my head 3/1/24. Why i don't know why. aahhaha
2024
Lol
2024
I’m listening to this in 2024!😃
People tend to sleep on Phil Collins' drumming ability, because of his unique voice & great talent as songwriter. That being said, he's definitely a capable drummer. Ive seen him dual other drummers back in the early Genesis days. The man absolutely can hold his own on the sticks! Besides that, keeping time, while singing & drumming, isn't the easiest thing to pull off!
Hard to believe that this song is almost 40 years old.
I had to think about that. That's phenomenal!
where does the time go?
Stop it 😂
@@martinadams5893 I know
@@mikepatrick5909 ?????
My favorite Genesis song, definitely. Just a jam. And I dig anytime you can hear someone humming along like Phil does around the 2/3 point here.
These guys somehow connected prog to pop and became huge, while keeping musical integrity. Although anti fashion for that new wave era, the striped shirts developed into an image of its own. Love you guys
BACABA
I think the stripey rugby shirt was almost de rigueur at prog gigs in the 80s. Couldn't move at a Marillion gig for those and army surplus fatigue jackets. :)
This changed my life when i was 17. Fookin great
50 people actually thumbed this down...50 people who apparently have no idea what good music is...I almost feel sorry for them.
thee4thdoctor I’m with u bud!
didn't thumb it down...don't like radio edits (cut the instrumental)
Now it’s 69... noice.
It's now 77 thumb's down. What's wrong with early phil collins days with genesis?
Thankfully, the ratio of morons to intelligent people is low...so far.
80’s
SIMPLY AMAZING
ON
ALL LEVELS 🤗
Great to see Phil pounding the drums for the entire song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God, I have always loved this song.
These Genesis songs from this era are proof that prog and pop can co-exist.
There is nothing better than "supper's ready"👍
It's called Prop.
Yes, Rush, Genesis
I don't think there's another band on this planet who could've ever threaded the Prog-Pop needle the way Genesis did in the early/mid 80s.
@@couchwarrior2449 Is it? I am over 50 and never heard that phrase in my life. Sounds like you just made it up.
It took me years to realize what the word abacab meant. I am 62 and I believe I looked it up in an transcript of an interview. Yes, before the internet.....
I saw them live about 2 dozen times from the late 70's through the 80's and I saw Gabriel and Collins solos tours, close to a dozen times! Fucking LOVE this band and Chester Thompson too!
One great song wow
Love the guitar player in this tune one great band wow
I saw this on MTV and loved it, so I bought the album on cassette. When I played it for the first time, much to my shock the song kept going and that was the hook that got me to become a dedicated fan.
Cool story
I have it on Vinyl! :)
gynandroidhead not my fave Genesis tune but as a 15-year-old kid playing catch with my cousin in his backyard with the speakers in the windows, this song was the gateway to the entire prog universe. First love is strongest.
Sucks a little that this version has just a replay of the opening part. Hearing that long-ass rideout jam was just magic!
On the radio they sometimes play the album version and call it “the extended version” when it’s really the original version. Genesis with Peter Gabriel was awesome too. I
Today is 20 feb 2023.
Phil Collins and I are literally spiritually connected, does he know it?
I have none of his talent and some of his good looks, but the minds of the people that grew up with this music have a depth in their joy and a respect for everyone.
Today is 61. And the world outside looks so unkind, i do not want to get out of bed at 1030.
There is a feel of a steamroller that i do not think comes from me. Is someone going to flatten me today?
This song came on just now when i turned on my phone, but, i searched for it 3 weeks ago and the phone google search froze up. Thank you God for giving me a moment to listen to Phil.
At 62 I still play this in the van: windows rolled down & at peak volume...The Best!!!
Für mich ist dieses Stück in dieser Version
am besten Gespielt worden ❤
I forgot how cool this vid is with Phill singing and playing.
Yeah. That has to be a lot harder than it looks lol.
Phil Collins is very much appreciated by so many.
Am still listening in 2021!
Loved the 80's!
Those riffs of mike sound amazing.. kool..
LOVEEEE how they fade the song out, each musician disappearing, then ends. Such a simply made video, BUT, awesome effect on you with music. Classic.
That was in 1983, my favorite then, and I still walk to it, check out his live In The Air Tonight. It's phenomenal Enjoy!
Abacab was released in 1981. 😊
I can remember first seeing this video at 12 around '90...VH1 or MTV but also was very into the music aspect of that Post Prog era of Genesis. This song Abacab was and still is a personal favourite of mine and as the years went on I discovered the Gabriel albums and Trick of the Tail. Been a fan ever since.
I was 24 when I was introduced to this song and Genesis by a friend. I am 61 and still listening to him.
RUTHERFORD is SO underrated! Check out his solos on the LIVE version in concert. Spectacular.
There's so many great musical elements to this song. It's just perfect, imo.
BIG TIME still listening here! :). I heard this (and watched it) on Mtv back in 6th grade. I remember back then how damn smooth he was on drums, effortlessly drumming AND singing this song! Which is truly why you need to appreciate and enjoy to the fullest each and every day, because sadly Phil's health isn't too good. :/
Quintessential Genesis.
Phil was under appreciated as a drummer, especially as he took on being the lead singer when Peter Gabriel left. Genesis is one of the few bands that could make a song that is fairly simple sound very complex. It’s such a pity Phil’s health ended his drum playing ability, he’s a bigger influence on drum players than they realize
Top 5 favorite rock songs of all time. Truly transcends.
Phil Collins is amazing!
How many lead singers can play an instrument at the same time?!
Keep rocking Phil !
He is unable to play drums anymore.If you saw there last tour he had to sit in a chair the whole show .Still belted out the tunes.
How many? Idk most?
The guy from Night Ranger, Don Henley,
Don Henley did it years before ...Seee hotel California live 1977
JUST A BRILLIANT MUSICAL ARTIST, AND A REALLY NICE BLOKE.
And rockin it like I used to back ‘81
This album is STILL 🔥‼️
It's 2023 and this track still bangs!
2022 still an amazing song
Still amazes me how effortless Phil Collins makes it singing and drums simultaneously
2023 still an amazing song.
Phil hadn't hit thirty when this classic came out,he's so badass!!!
So many Memories. This is such a great Song and a great time in History when the 80's killed all the Negative Vibes from the 70's. I took a year off from College in '85 to save some money & played keys in a Cover Band and ABACAB was my favorite song to play.
I’m still listening!!
nothing but bad ass boys playing awesome tunes cannot hate it , total grooving , they know how to make music ,
Such a great band 👏👏 the 80s were awesome 😂😂😂
Love everything they've done....Phil is amazing...heartbreaking to see him now but he's a musical legend in my eyes ❤
"VERY RELAXING AND GENTLE. GREAT SOUND, TOO!"
Great highway song! Loved it when I was a child still loving this song as an adult!! Thank you
I remember hearing it in my big brother's Ford back in late 81/early 82 and it was on the highway .
Yes a great highway song for sure.
I remember it clearly
1 of the best concerts i saw was Genesis in 1986, Invisible Touch tour
The day I found out about Phil's nerve issue, I don't think I have ever been more sad. He was a Lighthouse of music
I feel videos like Abacab show how much a showman Phil Colins is!
Instantly takes me back to 12 years old sitting in front of MTV...
Right there with ya Adam...Can't believe how much time has passed and how different things were !!!
We grew up in a Era My Friend!!!
Same here. About once a month my mother would say "I am canceling cable, we can't afford it " so me and my brother would watch MTV straight for like a week (during prime time and everything). We would see all 12 of their videos repeated over and over.
Amazing to see the beginning of MTV, when it actually lived to it's name.
I remember watching this, STYX, .38 special, REO Speedwagon, Journey amongst so many others.
I’ll be 60 this September, so I grew up with all the good music and an occasional bad song , but not too often.
Yep, great memories and concerts! Living in the past with TH-cam and some headphones!
Nobody cares how long you’ve been loving Phil… Some fires stay lit forever
One of the best songs of all time!
I dove right into the full Genesis catalog in 2022. This is a song where the pop and prog collide and it’s brilliant.
Double-edge sword The wisdom in the word
I am blasting this out in 2022!! Best band on the PLANET!!
✋ still listening; love watching Phil on the drums
Just love the electric guitar in this song!
