Genesis making Illegal Alien (+ Video)

[@vinto34]

Sounds great as an instrumental as well.

[@Turbomgzt]

So hard to be a sound engineer. They have my full respect for being so impartial 😅

[@immrjohndaryl]

I never thought the song was complex until I hear what Tony played in this video. His chord sequence is magic and unique as usual.

[@Mrpaulaustin08]

the horns...the telephone......this is great stuff

[@bobstigall8206]

I'd never really listened to much Genesis being a devoted fan of the Holy Triumnivate (SP). from Canada , but when I happened upon this song one day: the bridge part with the bass pedals and effects grabbed me ! It ( along with Just a job to do ) now reside on my playlist , as does "Just Another Day In Paradise done by Phil in 1990 ( or close). Really neat video!!

[@harmonicres]

Love these clips of the band from a deliciously create 1980s! Thank you!

[@Schimnesthai]

You're welcome, although i only edited the thing to fit the creative process on individual songs.

[@molochlight]

Great song and Excellent band...I love Genesis

[@glenstuart7823]

The trumpet.... brilliant

[@markholroyde9412]

Faaaantastic, a friend of mine played this on local radio yesterday, got home...got to find that....and ended up here after watching the vid 20 times, excellent.

[@genogeno6643]

Great song... Great video.... Great band

[@lifeson90]

GREAT video why havent i seen this till now

[@Schimnesthai]

Idk, maybe if i make a video every day talking about this i could be exposed more, but at the same time, Genesis could get a bit mad as this one already has copyright and the video was hidden for a bit so... idk.

[@cjm3729]

Tony Banks. One of the best keyboard players around.

[@tomjones5228]

This is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen on Internet. Thx for posting.

[@MrGraceanddanger]

Great song and video.Happy days back in the 80s.

[@BodaciousWench]

Phil’s (Phil’s?) captions are a hoot.

[@Schimnesthai]

british

[@bcoz6630]

The keys starting @ 1:41 are very reminiscent of the intro to land of confusion, only faster.

[@Schimnesthai]

Is the classic 1-5-1 music estructure or something like that, i don't remember, you can find it in the video "mike's genesis riff" or something like that (not mine, hence why i don't remember the name of that video)

[@patxirodriguez7540]

Dioses! Fueron Dioses , lo son y siempre lo serán! Gracias maestros.

[@Schimnesthai]

Antonio Bancos, Felipe Colinas y Miguel Gana? Maestros, totalmente.

[@Schimnesthai]

7:56 Phil gets handed an smartphone

[@juannicolasmitidieri4941]

great! i really like this song, im saving this video cheers!

[@Schimnesthai]

You should've said the original, this is just an abridged version.

[@juannicolasmitidieri4941]

@@Schimnesthai probably haha but the making of this song i really like is just marvelous

[@kids123123123]

So I think it is safe to say that Phil's strong suit is not the trumpet. 4:08

[@BoBo0807]

Is this video part of something that's commercially available somewhere?

[@Schimnesthai]

At the time i think it was on a video compilation, but for a long moment before that, it wasn't.

[@AR-rs2dy]

Why does Tony always look like a naughty boy in the corner doing his own thing?

[@Schimnesthai]

:))))))))))))))))))

[@trumpius_maximus47]

Kamala's campaign song.

[@IndiesoulMusik]

The drumming is excellent but the song claims people use unlawful means to enter the country and is sung in a mock Spanish accent 🤦‍♂️

[@Schimnesthai]

I love the keyboards on the track... the lyrics i really don't mind, they are pretty funny, i mostly think it as if they are actually aliens because of how weird they act in the video, for example, we see Miguel eating cigs, Felipe is always showing that he is actually bald. Also, i really don't hear the mock spanish accent, i should know since its my native language, and with all the inmigrants here i feel like i know even more accents than before and i just can't hear it happening in this song. Antonio Bancos habla mejor español que yo, eso es algo que realmente me sorprendio aprender, todo un crack.

Where'd you get your first clue Sherlock? OK and your point is?...

[@martysmith5260]

"Woke" America can't tolerate such a fun song these days!

[@Schimnesthai]

Americans seem to always make everything about themselves, they get offended for the rest and empty their political drops on every country they can.

[@Nilo1310]

​@@Schimnesthai both sides of the spectrum too, whether it's about books in a library or speakers at a college.

[@GeorgeSpencer985]

@@Nilo1310no, the parents don’t want books that contain smut in the library for young children. Sorry but when the curriculum includes novels describing elaborate sexual moves with highly descriptive adjectives and body parts in minute detail, then it offers no educational value to the student. In fact it’s just porn. which they don’t give their consent. they’re not banning them they just don’t want money spent on them and their children to have access to these books.

Not really their best song 🎶

[@_416_]

I don't think many people would argue that it's not bad tho

[@Schimnesthai]

bruh

[@eileensianez6766]

You're not really their best fan either.

It was a terrible song then. And now.

It’s Genesis, so it can’t be terrible. Period.
