Phil Collins REACTION In The Air Tonight live. HIp HOp Reactor reacts to Phil Collins 

I think you meant “oh LAWD “ I hope he doesn’t pause the drum solo lol

Drum and vocal genius... Such a shame 😞 he's so ill now. Legend Phil Collins 🙌 👏 👌 ❤

Kimberlini Ba...yes!!!! Please don’t ruin it for yourself, I promise that this isn’t just a song, but a life experience!! Don’t miss it!!!!!!!!

@@maggiebrodie8754 ♥️🥺

I know this is old, but I hope what I have to say helps. Since this song came out, ans have been looking for its meaning. I believe it took until what’s being shown today is what this song was originally about. If you know what I’m saying, youlll understand that he was from the group Genesis....

As we men of culture know, it is our sworn duty to beat the hell out whatever inanimate object is nearest to us when this comes on. And people around should know and nod in respect when they see some 50-year-old dude giving his wheel a good trashing while driving or waiting for the green lights. This is the song we are responding to - via a sacred ritual we have followed for 40 years now.

At 65 I do the same!

Drum beating and headbanging - taught my kids to drum right along with me in the car and sing along. 55 female Aussie here - this man is a LEGEND!

@@skwervin1 LOVE IT!! My grandkids have tried doing it. They are 4, 5, 7 and 7 and one of them will always say "It's Grandma's drum song!" 💜🥁🎵🤣

Still do it at 70. It is our scared duty to beat the hell out of steering wheel or whatever when the drumming starts. Used to work as bus driver in public transport. Was a set of traffic lights and a car pulled up and this this was playing just as the car pulled up the drumming started and I beat the hell out of steering wheel got some funny looks from passengers.

I think those are Black lights., They are called that but look dark blue...

I totally agree. I feel like music isnt heard with your ears, it is heard with your soul. Hi Heidi! Now I'm gonna be lookin for your comments after the Tom video RDiss did. Haha!!

@@Sanity851 hi Desire ☺🥰

Yes, the drums! I still beat the hell out of my steering wheel when that comes on. First time I did that in front of my kids, they didn't know what to think!!! LMAO!!

You can hear the crowd stirred up when the drums appear from below stage LOL

I first heard this on a miami vice re-run when I was maybe 12 in the early 2000s. I was probably the only person in my high school with this song on my iPod, 30 years old now and it still never gets skipped when it pops up on the same damn ipod I had in high school

I've watched about 10 different reactions to this video in a ROW. About 15 minutes each. You do the maths. And I'm still not bored. About to go 16 lol

me too x

Me too... :o)

Every. Single. Time. Chills.

100% ditto on that!

me too

its funny i have listened to this song for over 30 years or more i i never knew it was about cheating.. always thought it was about murder.

Nope, it's about cheating. This is one of the songs that kept me out of jail during my separation. I don't care anymore by Phil Collins was one of my post divorce songs.

A great reaction from you, I've been a massive Phil Collins fan for years. He's saying 'Hold on' not Oh Lord btw (that's the British accent for you). I heard he wrote the song shortly after his break up from his wife too but was also led to believe it's about him seeing someone walk away from someone drowning/in trouble and he is singing to the person who walked away. I guess it's open to interpretation and what people want to hear in a song.

@@kp3369 I appreciate the feedback, although, when double checking with the original lyrics by Phil Collins himself, they are saying Oh Lord??? So I am not certain if you are correct.......here are the lyrics: In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins) I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh, lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord, oh, lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord, oh, lord Well, I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget? It's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep this silence up No, you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you and me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, lord, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, lord, oh, lord, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, lord, oh, lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, lord, oh, lord, oh, lord, oh, lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, lord, oh, lord Songwriters: Phil Collins.

@@sandyleewhite You are quite right and I feel a bit of a fool right now - I can't believe that all these years I've been I've heard it as 'Hold On' instead of 'Oh Lord' LOL!! - still love the song and the singer though!

There is a lot of great new music out there. The problem is, it doesn’t make it to the radio and it‘s not in the spotify heavy rotation algorithms. But when you visit the small clubs (when it‘s possible again) you can still find real musicans making real good music.

@@repluggedx3265I have discovered some independent artists recently that I like a lot. Where I live no clubs to go to really especially with live music. I live in the sticks! LOL But thanks for taking the time to share!

It just gets sampled

I agree. I don't listen to new stuff anymore unless I hear something in a movie and look it up. Classic Rock all the way.

Helsinki checking in. Check out Steven Wilson!

yeah this is a total "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire kinda song." and Black Lights Those lyrics you were having problems with...think about someone who has totally disregarded your very existence. This of that sexy girl in high school who you sat next to and helped with her work but couldn't remember your name or acknowledge you in front of her friends. Or your homie that acts cool AF when its just you two but treats you like a bitch in front of everyone

He was in the middle of a divorce when he wrote this song, most of the songs on the LP are about bad love

Another "love letter" to his ex is I don't care anymore. Guy didn't need therapy. He wrote the songs.

Those lights are Black Lights

Funny urban legend about this song back in the early 80s said that he walked in at the end of his girl's rape, sees the guy but he escapes. Years later he is at the beach, sees a guy out in the water drowning. Swims out and recognizes the rapist. He then swims away, letting the guy drown.

Alanis Morissette leverages getting f*cked over like that, too. Lol.

omg to funny fam

Actually that's not funny. That's real in music. Period

Phil wrote this song.

wicked foreplay

Yeah, I love that look. All of his emotions are there to see.

Oh, it's more than just that, Phil is not just a master of his musical craft and performance, he's also had an acting career. You can see him using those skills to give the emotions of the song to his performance and to his credit he doesn't make to too big or melodramatic, he shows you exactly what he wants. Each turn, each pause, each glance has meaning.

Phil was a child actor and his mother was the owner of a famous drama school in the UK

@@pouncerlion4022 The 'Buster' film is well worth watching.

Dude IS a genius!!

Great summation.

Only one problem with your statement. You said that the lyric at the beginning was “if I saw that you were drowning “, and it actually is. Well if you told me you were drowning “.

Don't forget his work with several other artists as drummer and producer. He also played in jazz fusion band Brand X. Truly the hardest working musician ever!

Wow thank you I can bring that to my zeppelin videos. The reason I started doin these beautifully orchestrated concerts is because my friend was shocked I didn’t know who Led Zeppelin was. he said react to stair way to heaven and “you will probably remember” but after the reaction the final consensus was I in fact did not know the band. but really great full for the experience. the video got so manny requests for another so now we are here. I like this croud so much every one is so helpful. Thank you I really appreciate it I hope to see you in other videos I appreciate your knowledge. And if you have a suggestion I’ll happily take it.

hi a drum lesson: a demo to sound like Phil for any song !@

lmao omg im dying

Just thousands?

He has to. If he doesn’t interrupt it, youtube will take it down.

Thanks fam please send me links to great songs thanks

hi a drum lesson: a demo to sound like Phil for any song !@

thanks i really appreciate it believe it or not i like tenor singer Andrea Bocelli i consume music in away i dont understand if its there i can find it . I know that sounds weird But its the only way i know how to say it

@@ROMsquad no i totally understand. I dont hear music... I feel it in my soul.

@@Sanity851 same here 💜🙂 me personally imo if i cant relate 2 the lyrics or if it dont hit my soul down deep then i just cant enjoy it fully 🙂

@@cplaza81 99% of music i listen to with my soul, rather than my ears.

Urban legend...never happened.

That explains the dents in your car 🚗 🤣👍

@@davemadman7093 Ha ha! No dents here....sometimes a girl just has to rock out😁

Thanks for your post fam that post made me chuckle cool i appreciate your

EXCELLENT channel, He played on the soundtrack to my life!

Thanks Geoffrey, I didn't know him, but his image was of one "in the zone" about to bring the coolness. :-) I'll now go chase him up!

I didn't realize that was Leland Sklar. That man has played on a few dozen of my favorite albums and I've seen him touring with Jackson Browne & Crosby & Nash back in the mid to late 70's. Before the internet most of my info on the artists and bands I liked came from the liner notes on and album and the Rolling Stone magazine. And I remember seeing Leland on so many of the musicians in the liner notes. I live in Nashville and Leland has played on many country artists albums in the 90's. And, of course, much praise to Phil for an amazing performance. I first saw him in Genesis and enjoyed all the players but he's the one that I liked very much. I've enjoyed bands that the drummer was a writer and singer like Don Henley.

Thanks for the info on Leland Sklar. I've always wanted to know more about him.

For sure! Check out Crockett and Tubbs...Miami Vice. And the drum! Most iconic riff of the 1980s

LOVED “Miami Vice” back in the day! Premier with this song and many other great songs and special guests! Reruns come on satellite TV every week night- ✌️

@@kimberlinibambini1988 Awesome! I actually own it on Blu Ray. The other song that really sticks out for me is Kyrie by Mister Mister used in a very important scene on the show.

@@robert779 yep! Glenn Frye songs and more! Great show, music and big guest stars- loved everything about it! One episode that always stands out to me from the first time I saw it in the 80’s- Tubbs got beat down while Crockett was “chilling” with a woman and running late- Tubbs shows up at the door battered and bruised- a lot of the episodes that stick out.. I just remember being like 😦during that episode/scene-

Me toooo

Agreed. I miss the lighters in the air.

I couldn't agree more

Totally agree, pisses me off arms waving phones in the air. Even if they're on their phones at the side of you it's in your peripheral vision, I feel like shining a torch at the side of their heads and saying 'now you try and concentrate on the stage'. Just be in the moment and watch the f*cking gig there and then!

I saw hendrix,the doors and the who at the legendary Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. There wasn't even a phone BOX in sight,let alone anything else. But what a blast,and the whole thing is recorded in my head.

I don’t think this lot have phones, assholes clap all through this and ruin the performance for me.
