Phil Collins - A Life Less Ordinary (Documentary - 2002) [EXTRAS] 

Noel Gallagher slamming him in any way is ridiculous...he's got more talent in his left thumb than the entire band of Oasis...

There will never be another Phil Collins. He is an absolute super star.

Phil and Genesis are awesome. It's nice to hear him uninterrupted.

My husband met/knew Phil whilst working at Shepperton Studios, before moving to the states. He had the highest regard for Phil- said Phil was an extremely talented, intelligent, hard working individual who always watched out for and helped others.

No matter what people say Phil has worked so hard. Yes he has earned his money but he has given so much back. His personal life is sad, but he has 5 wonderful children. Much respect to Phil. Love your music, keep going Phil. We love and miss you.❤❤❤❤

This man is so talented,educated,humboe,respected,lovdd,anx must of all legendary😊

Pure musical talent!

Was at his last gig with Genesis last Saturday So happy to have finally seen him A legend. A national treasure

He's received a lot of flak over the years but nobody worked harder for their success. I read his bio last year, and in the 80's his workload was insane, running and touring a massive solo career while still somehow managing to tour and record with one of the world's biggest bands. He seems a down to earth guy who grabbed every opportunity that came his way.

Phil, what a drummer, my absolute hero. If it wasn’t for him, I would never had started drumming and writing myself. Genesis, Gabriel, Phil Collins, my biggest influences in life. Thank you so much for what you have gifted me, the world with all your amazing albums, together and solo. X

Phil Collins a musical legend, and his and genesis material has been the soundtrack to my whole life, thank you Phil, your music has made me so happy.

My God.......absolutely LOVE this man.

My favorite Phil album is 'And Then There Were Three'. Phil's drumming on that LP is spectacular - full of rolling, liquid drum fills especially in The Lady Lies. Great musician and singer.

The man who inspired me to pick up drumsticks and use a practice drum pad at my maternal grandparents place. I only played in band in school and now I play guitar. But Phil is the reason I started learning an instrument. Thank you Mr. Collins! Nothing but the best to you sir!

In '85 I was in a music store and found a drum transcription book of Phil Collins songs. I was 15 at the time and was in school band and I could read music a little. I thought that wouldn't it be cool to go buy all the tapes that cover this book and learn how to play like Mr. Collins! I already had some of his tapes. I spent every cent i had on this little project and it turned into the best drum lessons I ever had! Still have that book and another that covers Genesis as well. Only regret was not getting to see him live. but, "not dead yet", right? He is a big influence for me. I ended up playing drums in the US Navy Bands for 20 years and i'm still jamming to songs! God Bless you Phil

I always felt like Phil Collins would be just as happy playing drums in some band just as the drummer. He’s really just an ordinary man who just happens to be a phenomenally talented superstar.

Phil Collins holds a rare distinction with only two other people in the entire world, to be a member of a band that sells over 100 million records, then also have a solo career selling over 200 million records, those two other people are Sir Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, Bravo Mr. Collins, Love from the World...

Ive introduced Phils music to my kids 7@8 we have a 1982 mk3 escort with a cassette player and we only play phils songs my son has cerebal palsy and loves it, my daughter plays football and has to play phil on the way to her football matches and on the way back we play "take me home"... thanks Phil 👍🏼

First time I heard Genesis was at my friend and fell in love, wow! Got all the LPs, drove my parents insane and now my grandchildren listen to the CD's that replaced the records and they love it! Best ever!

You can tell what kind of man is just by listening to what and how his children speak about their dad!

What a beautiful documentary. I didn't think I would watch the whole thing, but I did.

Nobody is like Phil collins! A music genius, yet an humble man but a complex soul and a profond one. The very best! I love that man, respect 🤗❤🙋‍♀️

Let's not forget how great he was n the Fusion Band BRAND X !

The greatest pool of musical talent ever assembled. Genesis during the 70s were second to none.

Phil Collins success is a laser sharp focus from an early age, a god given talent honed through years of hard work of rehearsal, performing and being totally immersed in the music scene as performer and a fan😎👌

Phil, we are all given "wake up calls" and everyone tells me the 3 car accidents I was in occurred to make me slow down. I HAVE to believe it. So what did I do in-between surgeries and PT? I am earning my doctorate in special education. YOU are a true inspiration to me, and it makes me feel good knowing that I have a brother out there like me. All my love, Holly from Nevada.

Hey Phil I would like to thank you very much for being so candid in this documentary . It help me personally so much with the way I was looking things I have been playing drums since I was 4 yrs old .You came on my radar in 1978 when another drummer I did NOT like that brought your album school band rehearsal .So I resisted so at first.But you won me over in time . I first started playing your songs in a top forty band. With "turn it on" then " Easy lover" was a wedding song for me at the reception. The made a honeymoon video where I used " take me home" for clips of the plane ride home from Maui. Something that just happen at the end of Oct. I became a drum instructor for The School of Rock" we had a jam with all the instructors & I brought my Roland SPD- 11 that night they wanted to play " Something in Air " when it got to intro part I nailed it perfectly . The room went crazy I had played that for years & had the sound in programmed in the machine.But I give U full credit for that. I just did my solo album after doing production & drums for the lasts 30yrs & sang for the first time out in where others could hear. It's doing much better than I thought .Put it out last Feb. was worried that it would tank,but the pandemic had everyone in listening to to music & got lucky people found it. My life has been parallel in many ways except your massive success .but still happy where I landed by the way many of my go to licks come from U !Thank you very much again! Terry at 59 now & the album was Multi- Genre this why I did not except much to happen.😎🎵🔈🎶👍

Land of confusion and Easy Lover were good songs I remember back in the 80’s

I LOVE hearing the background stories and seeing how things are done...

It always seemed to me that he is not a singer from the heart, but a perfect actor that plays a singer unbelievably well. And he is a clever businessman. His tour documentary is really good too.

That was the best documentary. I always knew Phil was a great guy...seeing him on stage so many times, it comes across. And seeing earlier Genesis interviews. But it was nice to see his friends and family confirm it. I loved this...I totally enjoyed it begin to end. His wife is beautiful. It's really a shame things turned so ugly to put it mildly between them. I think that's what broke him. I'm glad he's making a come back and I'll be there in New York to see it.

Everyone underestimated Phil. He blew the music snobs away.

Thank you Great drummer and great Artist and even if I never met him, he seems to be a very nice man. I played for hours (when I was 15) A Trick Of Tail, Seconds Out,;Three Sides Life.... That is how I learned to play odd meters on that Great music of Genesis. Saw Phil live in 1985 in Grenoble, Great and very pro !! All the Best Phil !!

The guys in Genesis all were creative and strong musically. It comes through in their speaking about their albums and touring. No one felt threatened by the other. Great chemistry. Great people.

Jeez Genesis were my favourite band, in the 80,s i swear i must have "air drummed" "dance on a volcano" a thousand times, it was just magical, i did,nt know that he could sing just as good at the time, all the albums up until Duke", were fantastic. I was for a little while adddicted to "seconds out", there was nothing like it at the time, ahh, such happy memories.

Love you Phil ❤️

Loved watching this , super interesting!! Thank you ♥️

Thank you for posting this documentary.

Thanks for sharing.

Daryl and Chester are members of Genesis in my book whether they wrote anything or not

I'm sorry Phil, you ARE a perfectionist and we love you that way!

That's what a lot of people don't realize, he was also a drummer in a Jazz/fusion group, Brand X. People who only know him for a string of hitsingles in the 1980s will be surprised it they hear of this. He also rehearsed in a never-to-be group of Robert Fripp, John Wetton and himself. And those jams are really good

As a musician and keyboardist/composer, there are two things I fear most: 1) losing my fingers or hands, or injuring them, and 2) Going deaf like Phil in one or both ears

The goat 🐐 for me personally! Love him love genesis

THIS IS A MUST SEE 100% IT IS THE BEST ITS AWESOME !! IT IS THE MUST SEE ON YOU TUBE !!! ANY ONE THAT LIKES GENESIS OR PHIL JUST MUST SEE THIS 100%!!!

I met him in a Japanese restaurant in Perth in 1986. Lovely man! Got a photo with him.

really enjoyed this❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you 😊

I love these men. phil peter tony steve and mike.

GENIUS

I like the ending..With his loving mum.

PERFECTION !!!!

My first set of drums was three"Quakeroats"Containers with 1/4 inch 12inches long wooden dowels for sticks and that was it .

Beautiful vid!! Makes you fall in love with him all over again. His mom is awesome!

LOVE HIM💕💕💕💕

One hour and 34 minutes!!! I said to myself when I arrived here. Well there's no way I gonna chew that off. I'll just watch the first few minutes and move on...well here I am One hour and 34 minutes later...I really enjoyed that. And a big part of that is the burden of always being a fan of Genesis and Phil Collins and yet hiding it a bit because of this mysterious hatred and dismissal that floats about. I always took Phil as being exactly as this documentary supports through the words of Phil and his family and other musicians and all those who speak on this film. It's an odd Catch 22 kinda thing. Phil gets placed on a pedestal by those who know him because he doesn't want to be on the pedestal. But all the others think he revels in it and think he must believe he is so special and so the tearing down begins. Very unfortunate. I kinda liked the way Geldof says it on here and though gruff in his words it's probably true -basically: "he's a great ordinary brilliant dude but if he reads all his reviews and ruminates over them, he's an idiot" Well Phil's not an idiot but he sure doesn't need reviews to tell him he's a very good person as is better evidenced by the words of his children on here and the many others on here who know him from experience.

Still, till this day the two songs of his that had an enormous emotional effect on me were hold on my heart and Another Day in Paradise. There is something about hold on my heart that is so evocative, it lures you in and just brings a wave of Peace over me when I feel troubled.

Yes. I still would.

AWESOME !! YES AWESOME !! JUST AWESOME !!!!

OMG PHIL YOUR SON IS SOOOOO MUCH LIKE YOU !!!! ITS LIKE OMG ITS A YOUNGER YOU 100% !!!!!

Yes, Simon, he is loved❤️

A really good compilation; saddening to see the part with Orianne though, given how things had developed since...

Butlins at Clacton, I remember going there when I was around five. Would have been about 1953.

Thanks for the upload. Too bad about Orianne......he seemed so happy in 2002.

It says a lot about Mike and Tony that both lead singers of Genesis went on to have massive solo careers. They’re excellent judges of talent. They’re very smart guys.

LOVELY

The Closed caption youtube offers, works for subtitles. You're all good, Mateo.

What a lovely mother.

Thank You Phil Collins! I 💗 All of his Songs ‘n 🎶,Especially Your Drum Rift You Played During Your Signiature Song Which The Name of This Particular Song Escapes Me Right Now:) Does Anyone Know The Song?...

nice

I have my 10 top best drummers of the world here I go : Phil Collins Buddy Rich Gene Krupa Bill Bruford Steve Smith Carl Palmer Neil Peart Dennys Chambers Bill Cobham John Bonham I put Phil Collins at the top of the list coz I was inspired by his drumming to become a drummer, the rest of the list the order really dont matter

Age 14, Mystic,CT vinyl record in 1993. Saw the back cover of Brand X Moroccan Roll. Wait! WTF? Is that...? It is! Hey everyone look at this. As this was a trip, we pooled our $ together and had to wait (LP players were rare AF in 1993.) a whole week. That listening party changed my 15 year old friends. This was not the ‘nother day I’m paradise man. This was a man to be respected b/c he is both a craftsman and an artist.

Really is sad to see him with Orianne now. Say whatever you want about him hooking up with someone so young, but he's hardly the first rock star to do so. And yes, I bet more often then not those women are gold diggers. Even so, there is a special place in hell reserved for Orianne. Phil took her back after she squandered the huge divorce settlement. He took care of her after she was practically paralyzed after a surgery. He's the reason she's able to go out and buy expensive cars and get drastic plastic surgery. How does she repay him? She gets married to another man in secret, moves him into Phil's house, hires armed guards to keep everyone out, and releases a lot of grotesque (and likely made-up) stories about how he's a pathetic old man who smells bad and can't get it up. This is the father of her children! I really hope she gets booted out of the house with her pockets empty, and that their kids side with their dad.

Excelente baterista. Um gênio!!

Phil's Mum: "He is a good boy" 🤣😅😂

for a non-native English speaker, Phil and Peter are easy to understand, but Mike and Tony are almost impossible

Interesting about Phil Collins

Well Phil Collins We’re Waiting

I can hardly understand a few words anytime Rutherford or Banks make an interview.

❤️🙏🏻💯

Total side note: Tarzan, the cartoon character, has eyes drawn to look exactly like Phil's 💙

BOB HOSKINS SAYS IT BEST 100%

I could be wrong about this but I think it was Phil's Mum who discovered Jack Wild and got him cast as the artful Dodger in the movie version of Oliver, something connected to that, My Mum was in the same class as Jack Wild in nursery school, I think my grandparents knew his Aunt and Uncle.

Why wasn’t The Mamá Tour video put on DVD ? Why o Why? Anyone

36:29 Phil Collins being a British Jimmy Buffett

I got my Phil Collins story. Royal Albert Hall back in the day. Gimme some thumbs up and I'll let it ride.

be a great guy to get to meet one day. maybe

Reply to Andrew Rurrugia: I Agree,Then and Now!!! Tina from Ks ✌️🇱🇷🤘...

I LOVE LOVE YOʻU PHILL❤ 7:53

swag yollo

I love genesis since 1973,i love their works.The lamb is a masterpiece.Phil was a great drummer ,but peter's vocals and Steve's guitar were unattainable.Later they became a mass group.

He's a good boy, such a mom thing to say, lol

0:41 What kind of trains?

Forevermore This Man Will Live In Infamy Some Nurse Younger zThan Me Heard Me Playing Genesis &Said Is That The Tarzan Guy?

Wow,Bob Hoskins showed up in the video and I thought it was Phil's brother.

Chester Thompson is diplomatic when he says Phil was an untrained drummer that played things in an unorthodox way. He meant he played it wrong, non military, no marching bands and making it harder than it needed to be because he wasn't taught how to do it properly. Thompson has played with the highest level musicians and probably never played with untrained players before. Listening to Collins though, you'd never know it.

I could see Daniel Radcliffe starring as Phil in his biopic

Extras? Does that mean this is just extras or is this the full DVD? Haven't heard of this was the DVD a bonus with one of his albums of something?

4:35 i guess you could say they "Know What They Like"

If you'll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes.
