The most underrated drummer in the world

“A band is as good as its drummer”

A man with strong arms.

[@finnmacdiarmid3250]

These interviews are an absolutely priceless benefit to humanity.

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

Thanks so much !

[@tedcrilly8411]

what a down to earth chap.

Phil and Chester's drum duet WAS spectacle. Collin's ear and musical memory are incredible. And I love his considered and frank opinions.

[@radiomindchatter7994]

I respect the fact that Phil knew the name of the other drummers at the audition..

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

no he lists the drummers that were in Genesis before him, not the guys from the audition

[@natel2046]

Big fan of Phil Collins and Genesis I haven't really seen too much about Phil Collins over the past year doing any sort of interviews or public appearances

[@studioannur221]

Yeah, since Phil has become disabled he doesn’t do very many interviews, at least on TV. My guess is he’s very insecure about his appearance.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Drinking issues caused depression.

[@audreypurcell8700]

Another great piece of the interview! He is so relaxed and easy to listen to. I could listen to him all day.

[@w.w.8823]

Great interview. You have a talent for putting interviewees at ease and letting them tell us interesting things. So different from the usual "rock star" interview. When people are relaxed, and being listened to, it makes for an enjoyable experience for us viewers.

[@w.w.8823]

Enjoying hearing musicians talk about their craft rather than their celebrity. Refreshing change!

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your comments

[@DeniseKelley-xw9tz]

Ronnie ? Last name?

[@M123OCT]

He is so strong and healthy here. It's sad to see his recent physical deterioration.

[@RichardMNixon-zh6uz]

He's coming off years of alcohol, which takes a long time. Good days and bad days.

[@dana_brooke_27]

Phil looks so muscular for him. Like really..Turn down Phil? Not gonna happen. I love this story and how Peter tells it. Phil's got this own style and sound that is so recognizable no matter who he's playing with.

[@mikearchibald744]

I think he was trying different things to deal with his back problem. Having back problems myself I know physical therapists stress strength training to correct back issues like herniated disks. Of course Phil by this point would probably have a back that looks like an accordion and maybe there is little that could be done, those stools were no armchairs. As we see now. But hell I know farmers in that much pain and don't have a pot to piss in, so at least he's 'had a good run'. What I thought was interesting is that Pete always says some OTHER guys were also 'pretty useful drummers'. When you get into the music scene to the level of musicians you find out there are TONS of guys who are fantastic, you just never heard of them because corporate radio doesn't give them the time of day. Thats not a knock against Phil, he doesn't have to prove musical chops to ANYBODY. But thats what you hear about bassists, they are REALLY hard to come by because most are just guitar players slumming. Guitar players, even GREAT guitar players, are kind of a dime a dozen. Especially today with youtube. That, I think, was a failing of our generation. Corporate radio and marketing taught us that "this is what good music is, everybody else is irrelevant". I'm more guilty of that than most, I usually don't even like live albums because it doesn't sound exactly like the produced product. But I've been listening to just local people strumming a guitar and singing on facebook and I'm astonished at just how much good music is EVERYWHERE. Again, thats not to slag off those really great songwriters or players. But I just saw a six year old girl bassing along to Tom Sawyer and doing a pretty amazing job.

4:49 Nice reference

[@Schimnesthai]

One question i would've asked Phil... did he ever watch a Calling All Stations live show?

[@mikearchibald744]

I was sad to see the folk element of Trespass pretty much disappear. Folk music tends to rely less on drums and that rhthym and more on the vocal rhythm. But I really enjoy Trespass as much as the later albums, and even the drumming, although I'm no drumming expert.

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

The drumming on Foxtrot in particular is quite unique I think. The bass and guitars are pretty loud and have a strong low/mid/high presence, which sort of took the "boring" responsability of pacing the rhythm, allowing the drums to roam free and embellish the song. After that Phil started using the drums more "conventionally", as sophisticated as it was.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 That seemed true, part of the reason I like Trespass is probably BECAUSE it was so unique and the folk songs really were folky, which we didn't see a lot of in prog. Later albums went all over the place musically, but never did have much folk reference, even in Selling England, which was supposedly meant to hearken back to 'old english'. If they had a little more music like Trespoass on later albums then maybe I wouldn't miss it. And the lyrics were quite folky as well, even The Knife, but later albums, well, I don't how how the hell to categorize them, but folky isn't a word I'd use. But I know fans who listened to Genesis with Phils level of interest in the lyrics.

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

@@mikearchibald744 The Knife is one of my favorites, it's basically proto-heavy metal lol. Anyway, if you like folk/traditional stuff in prog so much, there's plenty of bands that go that route in depth, but most of them are quite obscure, like Harmonium and Comus are two great exemples.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 THanks, I'd heard that, in fact I remember a documentary from a long time ago, maybe on prog, but they talked about 'the cambridge sound' maybe it was called. But they mentioned some bands and they were quite folky. I just tried Harmonium, is it all in french but I really like the music. Comus, holy shit thats out there, I've got to download more of that. Thats weirder than Strawbs.

Nursery cryme I'd say has as much folk moments as trespass

"A great band will a lousy drummer and its' not happening?" I agree although 'Queen' is one of the few exceptions.
