Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight LIVE HD REACTION

[@5ft15jodi]

Phil is one of the best drummers on the planet…and he can sing! True Icon!

[@R3ED3R]

El Estepario Siberiano is the best drummer now days lol

[@virtualtrucker214]

Mr Phil Collins is a drummer before a singer!

[@bcf3218]

I’ve watched this about 50 million times and could do 50 million times more! In-fing-credible!! 🤯

[@anitawright7169]

Phil is an icon! This song is iconic. Playing the drums and singing at the same time is difficult at best and he does it with ease. Love your reactions!

[@joancurrie6748]

Phil is a self-described 'drummer who sings a little'.

[@angellina4208]

singing while playing the drums...but his voice is still clear...his breathing is not disturbed....phil collins is very amazing

[@davidschiech9188]

He wrote it, sang it and played the drums......he was originally the drummer of Genesis a long time ago ( Peter Gabriel) was the lead singer then . He quit and the group searched for a new lead singer and after trying out several people, they somehow decided to give a listen to their drummer and lo and behold they found their new lead singer for the next few decades and many hit songs. Phil is a great singer, song writer, drummer etc.

[@rk41gator]

Genesis got 400 applications for a lead vocalist......none fit. Phil did. What a band!

[@schmedrake5429]

Someone out there needs to hear this. This song never would have happened if Phil's wife didn't leave him for the interior decorator. There he was...his band Genesis was just starting to take off after a decade + of mediocre success. His wife gives him an ultimatum and he chooses the year-long tour he'd just signed up for. She left him and took the kids. And it ripped his heart out. He had never written much music before. He was the lead singer of a band. Then he writes this song to begin his solo career. It's one of the most known songs from the 80s and considered one of the greatest drum fills of all time. Phil filled the greater part of two albums with his pain over the divorce-two hugely successful albums. The worst humiliation-the worst thing-that could happen to him made him a global superstar. His career in Genesis was huge and his solo career was huge at the same time-for maybe a decade or more. His solo success fueled his band success and visa versa. And all of that was ignited by the worst days of his life. Prior to all that, another hard thing happened when the lead singer of his band left. People didn't think the band would survive. But the drummer, Phil, stepped up and took the lead singer's place. From that moment forward, the band became more and more successful. The point of all this being that those days and those events you think are going to ruin you hold the seed of something greater. Phil's an average looking dude with a lot of talent who rode the wave of difficulty, first to become a singer, then to become the most famous man on the planet. He's a legend and a GOAT. And he got there by walking through the most difficult times of his life.

[@julielazenby4160]

He is amazing!!! He is one of 3 artists to sell 100 million albums in a group and solo.... he was the drummer for Genesis and then when Peter Gabriel left, he took over vocals... later on his son, Nick Collins took over drums for him....

[@Reba-123]

The other 2 artists are MJ and Paul McCartney

[@Vee1music-lover]

You’re welcome! The 80’s were absolutely AWESOME! No u wouldn’t know Phil was a drummer first and probably don’t know a lot about him and that’s ok. But now u know and u really need to dive into his catalog of tunes! U won’t regret it! Us older folks adore him., and btw, we ALL played air drums when this song played✌🏻😎

[@Reba-123]

He started out as the drummer for Genesis !!!they did their last tour 2022 with Phil’s son taking over drums as Phil has nerve damage in his spine

[@chas1355]

Of all the drummers in history, Phil will always be in the top 5. He was a first class drummer before he became a singer.

[@primitiveprudence9414]

He is originally a drummer for Genesis and eventually vocals. He went solo and did had an amazing success. Such a talent!

[@Pomdownuder]

THE diffinitive 80's track it WAS the 80's, it was ground breaking for its time, the drum machine breaking (3 min 37sec) in to the track. Used in movies & TV shows for decades after. 1982 an incredible time to be alive 😅yep us old bastards are still kicking off.

[@SamdraJohnson]

The reason why everything feel into place bc that's the way Phil organized it. Having in the intro having different instruments come in one at a time all the way to drum solo. In case you don't know he has played drums since he was 3 . He always said he was a drummer that could sing a bit. Phil is like an onion, many layers, drummer, singer writer, he also played with genesis( the band) and a solo career which both did very well very well on charts. Disney approach him & wanted him to write music, & sing for the animated movie Tarzan. He was a child actor & did some acting as adult. Phil with all of his accomplishments should be in the Hall of Fame!!

[@donnasmith5942]

Love this song.

[@jeaneguerra9280]

My favorite band and onde of my favorite songs, ,I love It só much, thank you for react 👏🏻🥰☺️

[@carylawson-le7og]

B4 Phil. Was a solo artist. He was the drummer for a group called Genesis for years and years. Then he decided to go solo. And became a star all over again so lady luck smiled upon him twice in his lifetime because she knew how good it was

[@396Cap]

The original studio recording was 1981. This performance was 2004. He is still killing it. Phil and Genesis are amazing. Especially live. There is so much to go through. Great reaction. Thanks.

[@tinavivenzio7372]

It’s rare that drummers sing also. There are some out there. He is one of the best.

[@Gwennedd]

Karen Carpenter was a drummer as well as one of the best female vocalists of all time. Her sultry contralto and smooth vocals were legendary.

[@בלהאלגריסי]

ביצוע מדהים.מהמם❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלכם🤘🤘🤘🤘🫶🫶🫶

[@rk41gator]

It is Phil's fill.

[@domizianamiodini]

Bella tutta questa attesa per l'inizio del canto di Phil, e poi l'attesa per quello che farà quasi sul finale! Tutti sanno che succede !

[@RobertBoehme-s6b]

Check out the work he did with BRAND X. WOW!!!!

[@rk41gator]

Legit Swag.

[@helenespaulding7562]

You do know that he was the drummer for Genesis, right? He was a drummer before he was a singer. And drumming was his first love and how he defined himself. “I’m a drummer who sings” that is why it is almost unbearably sad that he can no longer play because of nerve damage. Such a loss, for him and for us.

[@r.h.7633]

U 2 are the coolest pair of UTubers. Have a wonderful Xmas

[@jus2react]

You too!!! Thank you so much😎😎

[@Dr_KAP]

U2 are a band so don’t use this acronym lol maybe stick with “you two” 😂

[@PB...]

We can see a classic scene with this song, in the first episode of TV show "Miami Vice" (in 1984)

[@sandybourdeau9300]

Phil Collins was the legendary drummer for Genesis since the 70s. Don Henley from the Eagles is their lead singer and drummer also since the 70s

[@domizianamiodini]

E l'iconico bassista Leland Sklar? Era così anche da giovane!

[@Anonymous-bb8sf]

A reaction to him and Chester Thompson drum vid at his concert would be cool👍🏽

[@domizianamiodini]

Phil era il batterista dei Genesis! Ora suona il figlio perché lui purtroppo è troppo malato e non ce la fa. Io sono una dear, ma Phil Collins e questa performance sono qualcosa di stupendo ed energetico!

[@heavin6586]

Phil is one of if not the best drummers ever !! 🎉🎉 Now that you've opened up a huge rabbit hole you've got to see him with Genesis Live Wembley 1987 Would be a good start.. Mama ABACAB First 2 songs of concert to get a taste, do together.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/an-2iIp8nbmloZIsi=TtA8_YIQZL9dAigD Also, always watch Phil / Genesis live... The performances are just Amazing live 🎉🎉

[@Reba-123]

Same concert ..Drums Drums Druns … title is self explanatory

[@Mikey-DiLo]

Gentlemen, I see you have only reacted to 1 Queen song before. You don’t know what you’re missing! I’ll suggest 3 songs/performances for you to react to and I bet you’ll want to hear more. First off start with Bohemian Rhapsody, the official video. Use your headphones or you miss a lot with this band. Then check out Somebody to Love, live at Montreal 1981. The official video of this is epic as well but they are different so start with the live. Then check out White Queen, live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. This is early Queen but a fantastic performance. The song was written by Brain May (guitarist) when he was in college about a girl in his Biology class that he had a crush on but was too shy to talk to her. By the time he got up the nerve to do it she was already dating someone else. I tell you this because the backstory will help you understand the lyrics. Their group is fascinating and one of the best rock bands ever. Freddie Mercury the best frontman and rock voice ever.

[@rk41gator]

If you like angry Phil Collins I suggest you find "I Don't Care Anymore". Not exactly a sequel to this but close enough.

[@sandrachagas9832]

Rapazes por favor cheguem até Dan Vasc por favor, se vocês o acharem não vão parar de reagir, ele canta heavy metal, baladas, folks rock anos 80 e acreditem até ópera, ele é simplesmente fantástico!👍

[@Reba-123]

To think if Phil had not caught his wife cheating with the decorator and then going through a nasty divorce, we would never have had this epic song

[@keithdockrell2889]

He's a dummer who sings a bit, was his quote.

[@e.jamesshepard7183]

Didn't know Phil was a drummer.??? Well, lucky for you the KZbin Channel Drumeo just released an almost 2 hr interview about Phil and his influence on music and other drummers..The interview is done by Phil's son. Definitely worth the watch.
