#philcollins #reaction Rapper FIRST TIME reaction to Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (Live) Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
I know the 1970s were something for another generation I wasn't in. But being born in 1971, the 80s sure were the best: good music, good movies/series (Back to the Future, Top Gun, Miami Vice and so many others). Always looking back at this time - 2020s are a sore!
You made this 70 yr's old, man fall off his chair, with laughter. Watching you learn that Phil Collins plays the drums, is like someone learning rice is white. (most rice.) Hello my brother from another mother.
He was a drummer first and foremost, and he is also one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band
As an old chick, I giggled watching you think this was a singer who plays the drums. Then I was delighted watching you discover that you just watched a legendary DRUMMER who can also sing!!
I have been waiting to see your reaction to THIS performance. It was fire!!! Have watched it a 1,000 times and NEVER tire of seeing young people's reactions to his raw talent.😊
No lip-synching no auto play no glitter cannons, no ass shaking. You might be looking at a masterpiece of what a performance might wanna look like truly iconic.
I've been playing drums for 15 years. I've tried on and off for probably the equivalent of 5 years to sing and play at the same time. I can't do it. I lose my limb impendence when I try to sing. I can may do a song or 2. It's insanely hard.
@@kdailey4315 Indeed. The drums and voice are in completely different layers of the song. That is of course why we see so few singers that also drums. Or drummers that sings.. however you want to put it.
Throwing out a few retro names of drummer- singers Karen Carpenter, played drums AND sang until Richard forced her out front. ( Carpenters) Mikey Dolenz - The Monkees , took lessons to learn to play drums AFTER he got the role. So, he didnt know that it's very difficult. Ignorance is bliss, yah? Don Henley- the Eagles- no further comment needed😮 Of note- P Collins punctuates his vocals like he is drumming them. Once you detect it, you can't un-hear it. But, that's a GOOD thing, yah? Because he owns that rhythm.
This song and this performance has got to be one of THE most viewed songs to watch somebody react to, lol. We're all just sitting here waiting... waiting..... waiting..... BAM! Laughing as our hosts are confused to the buildup; lost as to why this song is requested so many times. And we're all grinning...... BAM..... NOW you know why everybody wanted you to watch this one. You've now entered another era of your life. Back when concerts were raw. Just a man, his band, a killer hook and passion. He's got this crowd from the second the song starts, strolling along, taking his time to connect with everyone who's there and then knocking it out of the park. You're welcome
@@TenCapQuesada I know right? When I go to a concert now I'm always wondering why people bothered spending so much money to be there when they're not actually watching the show. So sad.
I love how these young people under 40 are the critics for these very well known performers. I think it's cute how they React. Phill Collins Started as a drummer For the group genesis, then became a vocalist when he broke out on his own. He is amazing, and one of my all time favorite Singers, songwriters, and percussionist.
He was in Genesis from 1970 to 1996. then 2000 to 2020. He was drummer from 1970 to 1993 when Peter Gabriel left, and then he was drummer and lead singer for over 20 years.
He's actually 44 and I'm often surprised someone that age wouldn't know certain songs, but everyone's life is different and not everyone gets exposed to the same things I guess.
Darn right , great drummer Multi genuine talent. This real talent does not exist in the music industry. Only 1 independent artist matches this kind of talent. "Tom Macdonald "
Made this Granny smile as you react to the legendary Phil Collins---yes, he is a drummer! And a singer, multi-instrument musician and performer!! Thanks so much for your video!!
When I heard you question the headset my instant reaction was "he doesn't know Phil is the drummer." So satisfying to see your reaction! Phil is a legend!
I know... I watched it waiting for his reaction.. ' any minute nooooow.!'. Boom.. There it was, the look.. Brilliant.. I'm 62 and a big fan. Someone tell him watch Mr blue sky elo. 😁
@@caseyh8386 Really? I know people don't see the same things watching the same thing, but I didn't realize we don't hear the same thing listening to they same thing.
I dont want to correct you, that may have happened just after this happened. However, I watched a documentary where Mike and Tony were explaining how Phil started singing. They said they auditioned loads of people. Phil would lead them in, help them out, do a bit of singing to get things going. Mike and Tony said at the end of the day none of the candidates were better than Phil! So I guess they asked him in a round about sort of way :)
"He plays the Drums?!?" - Phil Collins started in this industry as a drummer. He played the drums on a ton of tracks for Genesis (the band he was in before he went solo.) So yes, Phil Collins plays the drums.
I grew up as a kid when Phil played on everyone’s records and Michael McDonald sang on all of them, too. 🤣 And you would actually know this because - liner notes. I’m that old. ❤
🇬🇧 Phil was a drummer before he was a singer! Now in his 70s and unfortunately can no longer play the drums due to a bad fall a number of years ago. Please try "Mama" by Genesis, it really shows off his vocal ability. 🥁🩵🇬🇧
It's not as rare as you might think, I know a few on the local pub music circuit who can play drums and sing at the same time but I don't know how many of those (if any) could deliver that vocal performance and drum performance simultaneously.
I was 14 when I listend to Genesis for the first time...in Germany...I am living in France now, and I still love Phil Collins.. What a great singer and musician❤ Thanks so much
Back in the 80's, sitting at a red light with this on the radio. You look around just as the drums hit, half the other drivers play air drums with you.
So true. I'd hear this song starting on the radio, then I'd put all the windows down in my Hearst Oldsmobile and crank my Blaupunkt up to 11. I'd hope I'd get stuck at a light when the drums kicked in just to treat whoever was stuck at the light with me. Good times!!!
Not really. Much like dancing and singing, or playing piano or guitar. Simply another motion added to what you are already doing. Playing any instrument while singing is equally challenging. I actually find backup and harmony singing tougher than the lead. Playing stuff off and complimentary to the lead. Interjected part lyrics often instead of the whole logical line. Enjoyable challenge.
He was originally just the drummer way back when the band Genesis first started out. At that time Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. When Peter left the band to pursue a solo career, the band started auditioning for a new lead singer. In the meantime, the plan was for Phil to temporarily take over the lead singing duties. Turned out they never hired a replacement lead singer, and it was Phil ever since. This particular song came from one of Phil's solo albums.
Do you remember the scene in Miami Vice when Crocket and Tubbs were loading up their guns to have a shoot out with the drug lord and they didn't expect to come back alive and In The Air Tonight was playing as they drove through the streets of Miami! It was like a freaking Music Video!!!
Dude...who cares what he is wearing it is Phil Collins!!!! He is THE DRUMMER!!!! Not just a drummer.....his name is synonymous with drumming!!! You watch Phil Collins to see him drumming!!!!
Phil Collins was the drummer for the iconic rock band Genesis. Genesis, known for selling over 100 million records, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Phil Collins not only played the drums but also took over the role of lead singer after the departure of Peter Gabriel. His distinctive drumming style and soulful vocals left an indelible mark on the music world.
He plays lots of instruments! I believe he wrote this while going through his divorce. She initiated it because She was in an affair! He was on the road getting his career started & she Thought he was fooling around but in the bio I heard that he didn't have time for it with trying to make it big. & Make It, He Did!❤
@@marshawargo7238 id read that his first wife was having an affair with a local decorator, and had been overheard in a pub talking to her friends about how this decorator earnt a decent income while Phil Collins and the others in Genesis were doing the pub/club rounds not earning much. And that being the reason he often sat a paint pot on the stage at the start of any concerts, ie just to stick up two fingers at them lol
Ahhhh, to be a teenager cruising main street on a Friday night. Windows down, blasting from cassette player In the Air Tonight. Those were great times!
That isn't strictly speaking true. He was in musical theatre as a child. In 1964 at the age of 13 he played the Artful Dodger in the first West End production of Oliver (he was not however the first person to have the role, the show opened in 1960). Phil also appeared in films as well. But you are right that he rose to fame as a drummer in Genesis before becoming known as a vocalist.
Just watching your reaction was priceless. Phil is a very gifted man. He's wrote many many songs for himself and others. There's only one Phil Collins.
He doesn't just play the drums, too, he's one of the all time great drummers. Collins is an all-around hit-making-beast. My parents dug him, I dig him, my kids dig him, and he just has hit after hit on his list. A few years ago, he started touring with his son, who was something like 16 at the time and my dude just beats those drums like they owe him money. He really takes after his dad. It has been sad to see Collins age to the point where he has a hard time standing anymore and it's rough for him to hit the drums, but it's also great to see him perform with his son. I'll be heartbroken the day we lose the man. I've been a fan of his music since I was like 10.
It was not his age that caused his current state of health. he dislocated vertebrae in his neck during a Genesis reunion tour. he lost mobility due to that accident.
As a 40-plus year drummer , Phil is a great musician , well rounded , and very talented . However among drummers, he is on nobody's " all-time great list." Those would be names like Buddy Rich , Ed Shaughnessy, Neil Peart , Stewart Copeland , Mike Portnoy , even Phil's stage drummer ( Dennis Chambers ) is considered an all time great drummer , by other drummers.
In the 80s I was a music major; orchestration, vocal, symphonic, etc... I had a total of only 4 pop albums... 4! One of Phil Collins' solo albums was one of them. I could play that thing on repeat for hours, at full volume.
This was one of the most epic performances of this song. He can not only sing but his drum playing is on point and damn if he can’t do both at the same time !! TALENT!!!
The drama in this song is second to none, and Phils vocals give me goose bumps every time I hear this song. And it's unbelievably even better live. Just wow.
Its wild that a lot of people still don't know Phil is a drummer but he honestly is known mostly for his singing to mainstream audiences not deep into the stuff he has been involved with over the years. The big 80's gated snare huge drum room sound? Phil Collins and the boys literally invented it because Peter Gabriel forced him to play without using cymbals of any kind so they had to fill the drum mix with something. Dude pioneered a whole ass decade defining production technique that is still used to this day and one of the core components of the sound of the 1980's
You miss the point, you forget he was the lead singer and drummer in Genesis. I only know one more more band with the lead singer to be a drummer, its a Finnish band called the hurryganes, good band by the way, look it up.
I love watching people who learn for the first time that Phil Collins is a drummer. Little do they know that he's one of the best who's ever sat behind those drums. I was lucky enough to see this concert tour and this was absolutely amazing!! You want to see an amazing drum performance of Phil Collins - look up a Phil Collins-Chester Thompson drum duet on here. It will blow your mind!!
This was from yeeeeeears ago; he's 71 now! (just retired last year due to health) Gives me chills every time I hear this Live version. Phil Collins started out as the fantastic drummer for Genesis; he wasn't actually a singer until later, and not "trained". You should really be saying, "HE SINGS TOO?!" I'm from his time (I'm 60 now) and it gives me joy that someone your age enjoy and appreciate this.
The look on your face when you realised the legend that is Phil Collins plays the drums is priceless! Phil could put his shoes under my bed anytime. Love him.❤🦘🇦🇺
That's why he had a headset on. He was the original drummer for Genesis and not the lead singer until Peter Gabriel left, he's also quite the comedian during his concerts. I was lucky enough to get to see him years ago wonderful.
I was a disc jockey in the 1980s. In California. This guy was the sh*t. Love this song. Happy to see your reaction to what we know is gold. At the radio station I would shut the studio door, and blast the volume loud. New wave. That's the kind of music he did. Genius man. Peace🌎🎶✨️
I’m telling you black this is a greatest songs especially 6070s 80s. It’s just great music great and I appreciate you doing this and this is these songs is carry me home for a while. You go back when you were teenager and you know.
I was puzzled at first about your reaction to the headset, cuz I knew Phil Collins first as Genesis' drummer/lead singer. Then as I understood you didn't know what was coming, I was anticipating both his drumming & your reaction. LOL. I'm still grinning over it. Phil Collins was a great performer. I saw him in 1984 (Genesis, Mama tour) and it was FANTASTIC. Ya know... my dad always said you should learn at least one new thing every day. I enjoyed watching you learn. :)
every time I see this performance I get chills. I'm 71 and I've seen him perform several times. A real professional in every sense of the word. I'm glad you enjoyed the old man🤓
