Peter Gabriel's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech | 2014 Induction

[@GoodSneakers]

Saw him live tonight. Overwhelming, spiritual, vital and vocally astonishing at 72 years of age.

[@happycrimson]

im seeing him in about a week and i cant wait 😄 i also just saw coldplay and im just seeing now that chris martin inducted him into the hall of fame which is pretty coincidental lol.

[@Banichi04]

I’m jealous! 😀 Happy for you and hoping to see him again before too long. ❤

[@charlenemack7040]

I’m 72 years of age and use a walker. I don’t know… is this an old? 😮

[@donalmacgrogan1225]

Had to come on here to say what an outstanding human being is Peter Gabriel. The lamb is 50 yrs today and was a revelation as to how music can literally change your life. Long live Peter Gabriel

[@susanann4171]

What an album, my favourite genesis album ❤

[@billmay7364]

Peter Gabriel . Humanitarian. Teacher. Gamechanging Artist. World today is losing its luster in War Greed and Voilence. Peter gives us hope . Being a Loving human being. His Music from Genesis to his Solo Work and Soundtracks continue to Move me. Peter continues to set the Bar . His Live Performance is on level Of a Spiritual Experience. Only a very few can do that.

[@pbjcreative5510]

i love him. singular. amazing. man.

[@FMontmirel]

"Dream big and let your imagination guide you". Thank you for all, Master Gabriel.

[@davidbarton5438]

A brilliant and shy man yet on stage comes alive

[@rafmin73]

Peter is such a great and influential musician, yet so humble and personable. Well deserved!

[@DG-gx4sg]

My favourite artist of all time, I wouldn't be the person I am today without him

[@vking1358]

Neither would I.

[@valco7981]

That makes three of us.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Add me to the list.

[@puccio5794]

Same here.

[@Rockdrummer-lc8kb]

Sameeeee

[@kentborges5114]

SO, SO WELL DESERVED ! PETER IS A TRUE LEGEND !

[@smoovegittar]

Not much on award ceremonies. Neither would I imagine is Peter. But his humility and natural state of grace is inspirational. Whenever he speaks, I listen.

[@DoyleFM]

I remember PG saying years ago that signed/famous/professional/superstar musicians aren't necessarily extraordinarily talented; just fortunate. What a class act... 🎼 🇺🇸

[@rhythmfield]

How can you not love Peter Gabriel? I’ve been a fan since the genesis days, my enthusiasm for his work and politics and various contributions (such as kickstarting the careers of some great West African musicians) is unflagging to this day.

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Imagine Peter Gabriel telling you that you're a great songwriter!

[@bigchief124]

I don't know about all of you, but those last 30 seconds... man, did that hit hard. Mr. Gabriel, I thank you for everything.

[@friendlygiantsband7117]

What a beautiful and sincere speech...

[@mickmoorhouse9834]

An absolute giant of talent..... forever humble and a total inspiration....much love !

[@220773]

Thanks for never forgetting about Genesis, Pete.

[@220773]

@Peter Gabriel I'm actually Gianmaria which is sort of like John-Mary, so I'm a... man. 😀 It's an Italian name, my dad's from there, I'm hence part Italian and part Scottish. How am I doing after receiving your attention? Needless to say! It's nice meeting you too here, by gosh... Came to your gigs ever since May 1993 in Rome, never missed a chance from then on, I also came up to Milan in 2003 and ended up on the DVD....... I'd LOVE to meet and greet you, just a handshake and a few words, I don't need anything else really. Hope I'll make it!

[@robertlumley5780]

A well deserved award, what an amazing artist. I’ve been fascinated by his work since I heard San Jacinto on my older brothers record player when I was 12. PG has been my musical soulmate ever since. Long may he continue.

[@davebellamy4867]

That's a once heard never forgotten song.

[@willpennington5479]

What a class act. That last minute brought tears to my eyes,

[@krisamara1111]

Still, still, my favorite musician. Love you Peter. May you be well, happy, and at peace.

[@gregoryedmonds4421]

Such an eloquent and humble speech. So inclusive of those who surround him. So bloody cool to see Chris Martin. It’s been years since that induction and yet it feels like today when I watch it. Peter is truly the very coolest... Again, way cool to see Chris. He’s everything; like Peter. Both are so rich in sheer talent...

[@Robbo57]

One of my heroes since I first heard him back in 1972.

[@jillgrinstead453]

Peter, Thank you for your music, thank you for your ideas, and thank you for being you! We love you.

[@georgetteneale6620]

Sincere and inclusive speech of gratitude from one of the most talented men in rock and roll.

[@patrickcrowther9195]

Fantastic speech, particularly when he spoke about how music can guide and heal you.

[@karengittins6648]

Every sound and word that issues from Peter Gabriel's mouth is worth hearing and listening to...

[@francinesmith4018]

He is such a total sweetheart! Every time he goes on tour I make sure I go see the show. It is always outstanding.

TOTALLY talented, INCREDIBLY inspirational and BLOODY brilliant!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DESERVED!!!!😍❤️😍

[@billmccomb4629]

Simply, Peter is one of our gods. I became familiar with him, as most of us did, with the early records of Genesis. Then I was lucky enough (and smart enough?) to see Peter's first NYC performance after leaving Genesis. Three hundred people standing in a hotel ballroom (there were no chairs) thrilled by what we were seeing and hearing. And I simply want to say, Thank you Peter; we are blessed to have you on Earth in our time.

[@paulturzio1472]

One of the music masters of our time.

[@TheLoudseed]

One of my favorite artists. Didn't realize until 2022 he had been inducted back in 2014. I got to see the US tour at the now gone Spectrum in Philly in 1993. Incredible show!

[@c.a.saunders2819]

Peter, Your music, and artists have gripped the world, and even today it resonates through all the noise so clearly. I've enjoyed your music from long ago as well throughout time and today. Congratulations on this award here in the clip. Your music deserves it. I shall hope you're doing well, and healthy these days. It's all about the grandkids now, where did all the time go? Thank you for your time, and your music. I wish you well,........

[@markabbott3334]

His music holds an almost spiritual place in my heart. He is a big part of the soundtrack of my life.

[@RobinsJunk]

Never gets old, such a legend and genius 👌🏻🤟🏻👍🏻

[@ThefightingCelt]

Peter never gave up drumming entirely. During the early 70s Genesis concerts he would stand behind a bass drum and bang away. One of my all time favourite artists.

[@michaelparylak5649]

As a child, I always saw him as somebody who had somewhat of an ego. But was able to somehow keep his ego in check. Thanks for the decades of awesome music.

[@romulodelmendo8361]

Amazingly thoughtful speech ending.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

Who could not Love him and his work x

[@ijopson75]

Music is from the heavens 😍 Peter is one of those angels. Believe it or not there is music almost no human has heard , music is also preserved . By the lord . It's true ☺️☺️😁

[@ItalianDisco80]

Happy birthday dear maestro Peter Gabriel! Don't Give up and go further ! Many thanks for your music hits and for compositions! They are so gorgeous and so unusual and amazed! I like your songs and compositions very much!😎👍👍👍🤘👌👏👏👏

It might be one of the best speechs in the HoF, a true humble artists only appreciate the ones who support them through the years for the first instance, from musicians to the family. Well deserved máster PG

[@SDSFG45]

to me?....Gabriel is RIGHT THERE with Prince and Stevie Wonder, when you talk about a kind of talent that is in its own very small group. Those 3, are my Holy Trinity.

[@selcukanar4723]

Both speeches from Chris Martin and Peter Gabriel are inspiring, it looks as if they perform their new songs rather than giving a speech. That's the quality of real artists and extraordinary musicians of modern times.

[@PiperbonesJ]

Old time Genesis fans may enjoy the heartfelt tributes to Peter in my trilogy novel, along with a nod to my favorite poets and songwriters. The Memory Tapes of John I. Pearl. PG figures into Books 1 and 3. Enjoy.

[@TheMichaelBeck]

Tony Levin and Pino Pallidino are the best bass players of my generation. Mark King and Sting too.

[@rickrisi]

hope to see you live soon.

[@luannabbate2624]

I was backstage at Amnesty International in the 80's. Net a lot of people. Never stat struck, but was nervous meeting him. He was a God to me.

[@laurentventuri5945]

A doctor of Life for us

[@AG-6969]

Every time someone of PG caliber in any field gets up and talks about the important things, they always, always, mention the love and SUPPORT of their parents/parent and as someone who can remember so, so many dreams of who I could be or who I wanted to be smashed out of existence by the abuse I suffered at the hands of my parents. As an old man, I can only say I tried as much as I could with the limit knowledge i had. I am going to die alone and broke, just like my parent always said I would form the second I was born.

Well deserved.

[@lloqalla]

That holding the trophy in the air with hands a bit together at the beginning - I think it's a throwback, classic self-satirized version of the act he would put on in a bodysuit for audiences in the early 70s, like pretending to bask in the applause? like oh wow, a trophy! that would be funny and true to form.
