I am nearly 70 and it still knocks me out. You got to listen with out interruption

[@daffodil56442]

No interruptions!! So many of the reviewers ruin it especially for themselves

[@kimpoppen8551]

He needs to see Phil’s face while singing the lyrics. SO knowing and angry! The whole meaning of the song is in his expressions.

[@betsybabf748]

He is the master of timing. He gets to the drums at the precisely right moment and doesn't miss a beat, with his hands or feet, while his voice remains perfectly steady. That is talent we don't see anymore.

[@sheilamaynard2979]

NEVER interrupt the Master when he is on the drums, he's been playing them since he was 5yrs old, and he's one of the best drummers in the world,!!

[@BjdacH]

Omg you’re right 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@HachiBachi168]

Dude you are 100% correct. Don't interrupt when he is on the drums.

Most of the music leading up is foreplay. The drums are, well, you know 😉 Right?

He was always a drummer first. He didn’t want to sing, but had to step in once, and history made.

Fun fact, on the studio version Phil Collins played ALL the instruments and mixed them in, a real talent!

[@kittenbrave1003]

Wow...amazing

[@karahansen1184]

I love watching people discover this song for the first time! Phil Collins is a master on the drums. This song is timeless. So glad you liked it!

[@annettescanlan2085]

Some of us have been playing the air drums since 1981 when this song came out, and still do to this day....

[@chunkymonkeyent5636]

It’s therapy 🤣🫡

[@jayholland2632]

@@chunkymonkeyent5636 This is the most iconic drum fill in the history of rock, followed a clopse 2nd by the drum fill in the middle of John Cougar's 'Jack and Diane'. But, if you want to hear the absolute GOAT listen to Neil Peart from Rush. He is known as "your favorite drummers favorite drummer" for a taste of him check out 'YYZ Live in Rio' and his drum solo from Frankfurt Germany for starters. Subbing to see if you go down that rabbit hole.

[@darrenatkin5100]

I've worn out three sets of air drums playing this.

[@jimgore1278]

Way back in prehistory I played in a band that did this song. Every time we played it every guy in the place air-drummed that lick.

[@nickpalm65]

It inspired some of us to take playing the drums. I was one since 1988. He still rocks big time.

[@JennyS54]

Never ever interrupt the drummer, but your reaction, made up for it, brilliant❤❤

[@sherrysaville6124]

Phil wrote the lyrics plus all the music for every instrument played. Genius!!!

[@jmfong76]

The message behind his song is that he was going through a divorce. His ex wife had cheated on him and years after divorcing her, he wrote this song about it. The betrayal and love lost. The words,” I saw them with my own two eyes”, it’s all been a pack of lies”. He’s mad and everything gets you up to the drums. Then he releases his anger, emotions etc in the culmination of the song. He’s a master. Not many can touch him. I’ve seen him in concert twice and he’s AMAZING. His live versions can almost always be better then the studio release.

[@EmilyPatrick-y2f]

His timing, his facial expressions, his demeanor… Phil is the man. Simply Iconic! Look at the audience, their faces say everything!

[@stephanielehane310]

“Please tell me there’s some drums”😅😅😅

[@TheNyahsnanny]

I am a 71 year old from England, and Phil Colins is my favourite English singer all round man who was once in genisis until he went solo and he is the best England has to offer xx

[@Astravan63]

I saw Genesis at knebworth in about 1993 .. Absolutely phenomenal, Phil came on dressed in a black T shirt and jeans just like a regular bloke off the street, but his voice was even better than studio versions, druming of course was first class , outstanding performance, what a day that was 👍🎶🎵. There was a funny moment on that day aswell ,phill noticed a bloke up a tree behind us ,and they panned the camera on him so the audience could see the bloke on the screen ,who then decided to relieve himself from up in the tree 🤣🤣

[@Reality6789]

He is a genius! Love, love, love him, song writer, musician, performer, actor, all round brilliant man. The best we are so proud of him🇬🇧

[@J.Forwood]

I'm 76 and from the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. The world is very small. Loved Genesis and love Phil Collins even more. He's better now than he was then.

[@debiw8599]

Phil was a legendary drummer for years before he was like "yeah, I guess I can kind of sing? maybe?" I love seeing people who don't know that react to him live for the first time. Great reaction!

He’s an ICONIC LEGEND. I’m almost 60’ now and I miss Artists who can actually sing songs of Substance and Top 🔝 Level Instrumentalists.

Phil Collins started out as the drummer for the band Genesis in the late sixties and early seventies, later started his solo career.

He also did a few years as the Genesis front man.

[@bettyrose959]

@@fridaylong2812 He took over singing duties when Peter Gabriel left. He was their DRUMMER. Has always been the DRUMMER. Just one that can sing. Look, they told them to hire a new guy. Phil didn't have the face for it. The reason this solo Album is just his picture and called FACE VALUE. He's the drummer. Always has been.

This live is better than the studio version, and that is so rare. Also: It shouldn’t be physically possible to pound drums while singing smoothly. But he made it look effortless.

THE INTRO SETS THE SCENE. Sets the mood. This song isn't like any other song on the planet. You have to ease into it and the beat drop is EVERYTHING. The electric guitar, the piano and his voice is ALL you need until the beat drops for the most EPIC drum solo in history in any song. Phil is PURE GENIUS.
