Been a fan since '74. 50 years. Saw the Lamb, Wind, Three, and Duke tours. Many years later i was in a McDonalds standing in line when over the speakers i heard the remake of "Carpet Crawlers" with both Phil and Peter singing. It was a surreal experience. I love all the prog bands of that era, but Genesis hold a very special place in my heart. It has to be their gentle beauty.

@johnt1877 Месяц назад

I get that Peter Gabriel was important, but I think Steve Hackett had a lot to do with their success. I would argue that their best albums were all the ones Steve Hackett was on. Once he left they essentially turned into a pop band. I credit Gabrial with great lyrics and Hackett with making them a great instrumental prog band. His guitar made many of their songs great.

@poboymusic1958 Месяц назад

I could not agree more! Of all the band members, Steve Hackett was the one who has done the most to keep the old, early 70s music of Genesis alive, with his many “Genesis Revisited” tours. And while all the members of the band had stellar solo careers - even Anthony Phillips - I would argue that Steve Hackett created the most interesting original material. He is not the household name that Peter Gabriel, Phil Collin’s and even Mike and the Mechanics became, Hackett to me remains the most interesting of the bunch. It isn’t often where a successful band can be looked back on as less than the “sum of the parts”, but in this case, it has proven to be true. I say this all with respect and admiration, because all of them made records that to this day remain amongst my favorites, from Anthony Phillips classical records, to Phil Collin’s amazing “Face Value” and others, to Peter Gabriel’s initial and subsequent solo projects…but I count Hackett’s “Spectral Mornings”, “Defector” and “Voyage of the Acolyte” as great albums as well. I’ve met Peter Gabriel many times and he is a true gentleman, someone who treats everyone with grace and his care for big problems in the world. What a gift Genesis and its members have been to the music community and the world at large.

@wmg5852 Месяц назад

While Steve was a great addition to the band (believe me, I thought he was great), I would think that the driving force during the Gabriel years, musically, was always Tony Banks. They were keyboard-laden, and to say they were influenced by the likes of Yes and ELP would be an understatement. What I think separated them was, and why I played Genesis incessantly, and not the other prog stuff, was Peter. To me, Supper's Ready, Watcher, Moonlit Knight, Epping Forest, I Know What I Like and the entirety of The Lamb are the zenith of their greatest moments, and without Gabriel, nothing which followed ever came remotely close, but of course that's just my opinion.

@neilparnell5712 Месяц назад

When you look into the band dynamics, Steve and Peter were ''allies'' for want of a better word and this kept them in balance with the Banks Rutherford alliance. Phil Collins acted as a stabilising factor in the mix and was also on good terms with Steve so Steve began to get more of his ideas into compositions and Selling England was all the better for that. As soon as Gabriel left Steve was then isolated and it is no surprise that he soon left as he was told in no uncertain terms by Banks that he could not have a solo career and still be in Genesis. Phil Collins was not happy with this situation and showed his hand by playing and singing on Voyage of the Acolyte and Rutherford seemed to have misgivings by now and also played on the album. This must have been a kick in the teeth for Banks !

In my opinion I can say that Peter was Genesis and Genesis was Peter, magic,visionary art of lirycs, where Peter excels as the great protagonist. When Steve came out , the Genesis world ended. Phil was a good drummer,light years away from Peter's class.I saw the concerts of 73/74/75 whit the only concert for The Lamb tour in Italy. Turin 24/3/75 n.tick.01564.STRAORDINARIO. Then it became a pop band. I keep that period in my heart until 75, until my end. A hug fom ITALY.

Gabriel himself summed it up later: "Within Genes, I was the one mostly in control of visual presentation, and Phil was the critical element in terms of the groove and feel of the music" Phil Collins' skills as an arranger is something many people don't get, but they were very essential to avoid having the music feel crowded and overloaded, and to making the shifts of moods within the song come alive

@hippomancy Месяц назад

actually Gabriel decided to leave the band, and informed them, before the Lamb tour but offered to stay until it was done... and Gabriel was close with the others throughout the years; they even had a one-off reunion fundraiser to get Gabriel out of financial difficulties (WOMAD festival startup had him almost go broke), and Phil worked on several of Peter's solo projects... What would a new album sound like with both singing? similar to Calling All Stations, honestly... and only hardcore Genesis fans liked it because the music was ok, but neither Gabriel or Collins singing (I liked it, btw).

@henkehakansson2004 14 дней назад

I heard it was halfway during the Lamb tour, he spilled it all out, to manager AND the band, he didn't quit in the middle of it. He comitted to tour it out. They all agreed to keep it as secret as possible. His last gig was in France, May 1975, and rumours has it that he rehearsed/practised a solo oboe/flute tune called "The Last Post" prior to the gig, in order to play it as an encore, or "intro" to another regular tune in their setlist, but it didn't happen. A few months later, in August, the press got wind of it. But then, they already was halfway into rehearsing "Trick Of The Tail" with Phil on lead vocals, to which the press didn't know about at all yet. Actually, believe it or not, Gabriel visited the band in the studio and listened to the album, and thought they had succeeded in proving to others that they still were "a whole, strong band without me". He knew that the group could write strong material, but the little effort it took them surprised him the most. Suck on that one, for a while.

@@henkehakansson2004 Gabriel had a wife & a newborn daughter, which none of the other bandmates had along w/the responsibilities that go with that.

@henkehakansson2004 Месяц назад

I think all of Genesis "best albums" are only the 2 ones where they were 4. Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. The production, arrangements (especially) had a more even flow and DIRECTION to them. On The Lamb and Selling England it was a little bit too much hotch-potch and musical pieces laid end to end without even having anything to do with each other. Just changing pace/tempo/odd time signature in the middle of a song, just because of it. Roller coaster, ups and down, up and down. Directionless. When they were 4, they could keep the prog flag up high, but when they were 3 it all went downhill... methinks. IMHO.

@joeblog2672 24 дня назад

Genesis' peak success did not occur during the Gabriel era. Artistically one could argue between the Gabriel or Collins eras but in terms of fame sales and notoriety, that came in the early 80s. For example, their first studio album after Gabriel (A Trick of the Tail, 1975) outsold all previous seven albums (six studio plus their '73 live album) combined! Some of this was no doubt due to anticipation over what would happen next with the group but in reality, Genesis in the Gabriel era were only big in uncommon markets. Italy for example, was obsessed with the band. This era may have been more popular there than back home in England! Another reason for Genesis' peak occurring later is due to the difference in song material between the eras. Gabriel had wanted all along during his time in the band to intentionally avoid writing 'hit' songs. He wanted the more artistic obscurity offered by fantasy that bore little resemblance to reality. And it was towards Gabriel's departure that others in the band were getting tired of this. While it was some great music, most of it got little airplay which held the band's popularity growth back. By the third album of the Collins era (And Then There Were Three) All of the Gabriel type fantasy lyrics were gone from the band permanently, and the band began to really take off in popularity. They were still prog in music and lyrics but it was different and combined with mainstream elements as well. I would say they peaked between '83 and '86 with the self titled and Invisible Touch albums. While the 80s were great music and great years for Genesis' popularity, I still prefer the Gabriel era, extending into the first couple of Collins era albums (Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering).

@ErnestoBauer 19 дней назад

For me, the album with Ray Wilson was a fantastic step into teyr past. The voice of Phil Collins got me tired of Genesis. And Ray's voice was a big change to the positive. Also the keyboard and synthesizer sounded more like in the old days. What a pity when they stopped that after one album. I was years later on a small club concert with Ray and it sounded still great.

@andrewc3458 13 дней назад

Yeh, it is such a shame. That album Calling All Stations isn't all that bad, and Ray Wilson's vocals on it are outstanding, very much heartfelt w/a lot of intensity. It's b/c they overestimated that Genesis w/o Phil could still fill Arena-sized venues in America, but could only at best fill 1/2 the seats. And so the tour and the latest incarnation of Genesis was considered 'a failure'. Musically, I don't consider this version of Genesis as 'a failure', far from it. But $$ talks in the music biz, esp. in America, and so, then there were none.

Gabriel had spoken in other interviews that he was only interested in writing obscure songs for the band. He went out of his way to avoid writing hit songs. "I Know What I Like..." was the only hit of the Gabriel era and that song was certainly no different from Gabriel's style of the day! Years later he said that the exclusive non-hits philosophy was a stupid idea. I prefer the Gabriel era extending into the first two Collins era albums (up to Wind and Wuthering) but I would say the band transitioned well, continuing to make good music to finish off the 70s and then taking off in the 80s to the big time. I think they actually made one of the best transitions among bands / artists bridging those decades.

@freddiefox. 21 день назад

Gabriel's work, post-Genesis, speaks for itself. He didn't need to be part of a group, or at least not Genesis, so I think the split was for the good of all involved. We got a more focussed Genesis sound, and a more grounded conceptual artist in Gabriel, who did some seminal work in the late 70s and 1980s.

@louise_rose 9 дней назад

It's kinda like the split between Rod Stewart and the Faces - the front man tended to grow bigger in the public eye than the rest of the band, and this breeds tensions...Except that within Genesis, Peter was just one of several songwriters at the time. Hackett was still mostly a musician and a creator of sounds/solos at the time, but later, when he too began to do more songwriting of his own, it soon created tensions too because a band with four accomplished songwriters just didn't have enough space for all of them.

@henkehakansson2004 Месяц назад

It wasn't heartbreaking or shocking news, the band knew it since a long time ago, that while PG left the writing sessions to work with film director William Friedkin for a film script or "ideas", the others thought that it was then he was leaving. When Friedkin heard of that he was probably breaking up the band, he said he just wanted minor input not fully commitment so he got cold feet and bailed out. Then then band knew, that when PG returned, he may as well do it again, some time in the future, and he did. BTW the band wasn't that big back then at all, not in comparison to how they went ballistic later on. As it has happened, PG wanted to "show" the public and fans, that Genesis could do just as well without him, and - frankly - they did. When the first album without Pete came out "Trick Of The Tail" the initial reviews was in the vein of "Oh, I thought that Peter Gabriel had quit... they sound the same". Very unaware of that Phil sang backing vocals on earlier albums, on top of having one or two "ballad" tracks on each album where he did all the lead vocals. And did perform them too, live from time to time (not always though). So, it happened very little to Genesis when PG left. BUT! When Steve Hackett left, all their style and sound changed waaaay more, than it did when Peter left. Way more. Steve Hackett, and Phil Collins could continue to do solo albums WHILE still in Genesis, but Peter felt otherwise. He was better of as a frontman for himself. Today, Steve Hackett is the only one of the band, still touring with Genesis OLDER material. And all this BS about acrimonously being forced out by Phil and that shit. Phil played drums on subsequent solo albums by Peter, so why should he do that of he "ousted" him from Genesis? Totally bollocks. He even was open to PGs whim by dodging all cymbals on his third album, to which Phil had no objection to at all, but Jerry Marrota did.

I don’t follow. Wasn’t this decision kind of the antithesis of that? Genesis were huge and made a lot of money when Gabriel decided to leave.

You are wrong on this one. After PG left, post Genesis, he came into some financial trouble with a musical business venture. Genesis took proceeds from concerts and helped pay PG's financial obligations off.

Completely ignoring the contribution of Steve Hackett! I would be more interested to see Hackett and Gabriel working together again.

Dreadful editing. I had to stop watching before 2 1/2 minutes because the narration was about the Genesis show photos of later years. It wasn’t just once it was three times that I noticed before I switched off. 2 out of 10 must do better.

This is a joke, something created for people who don’t know anything about rock and roll, let alone prog. No mention of Steve Hackett, and I’m guessing they could get mainly live video of whoever fronted the band for five minutes after Collins left. This is the worst kind of clickbait and I’m pissed I can’t get back the time I wasted watching this drivel. Note to self: ignore this source forever. What was it called? Oh yeah, FarceVerse.
