chrisba Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 [quote name='Conan' post='978363' date='Oct 5 2010, 02:13 PM']Totally agree! You can hardly tell that it's the same track! Horrible self-indulgent semi-soloing from Wetton that ruins the delicate ambience of one of my favourite Genesis tracks. Yuck! I was expecting him to start slapping! I don't like it. [/quote] +1. Spot on about ruining the ambience. Nice bass playing, but wrong song to do it in. I liked "...and then there were three" too, great song writing, but was very disappointed by Duke and its successors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Really dont like this, the original Genesis tracks were classics, completely ruined by the bass noodling, the guitar solo is what made that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 [quote name='Vibrating G String' post='980368' date='Oct 7 2010, 11:35 AM']I had a few minutes of interaction with him back in '83 or '84. Nothing about music. As he walked away I said "hey, I love Brand X". He rolled his eyes and sneered and crushed my little heart!!![/quote] I've heard quite a few comments about how [i]nice[/i] Phil Collins is! I wonder if, when you spoke to him in '83 or '84, he was promoting his own work, so took your comments on Brand X as a criticism of his solo stuff. I know from plenty of interviews that he loved Brand X. [quote name='toneknob' post='979201' date='Oct 6 2010, 10:53 AM']Absolutely - brilliant, world class drummer. Very good singer late 70s/early-mid 80s Genesis, but his songwriting mostly schmaltzy. His current Motown project - embarassing.[/quote] Totally agree with this.

RhysP Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Love Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis. Love Wettons bass playing (especially with King Crimson). Do not love the combination of the two. The studio album of the "Genesis Revisited" stuff is dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Blood On The Rooftops is a favourite here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have touched a sore spot. I can give him the benefit of the doubt but it was crushing No hard feelings though, I'd still play with him if he called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
