Genesis to reform?

The return of the Giant Hogweeds........Rumour has it than Genesis are to reform, Phil Collins is happy to participate if its all organised for him. They are keen to perform new material, as they feel that just ploughing out the old stuff will not be acceptable to modern fans.

I, for one would be happy to go and see them, just for old times sake..........Gabriel back on vocals......no cant hurry love crap...................get em out by Friday.

I would find it quite acceptable to see Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Chester Thomson, Steve Hackett and whoever.
New material may be interesting, but I hope they don't repeat 1974 when they played the whole of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway cold to everyone except the band.
I'm happy if they play all the old songs for three hours with state of the art sound / lighting.

Personally, I'm bored to death with Phil Collins. The others are cool.

Can't believe we're all in agreement on the fact that Phil Collins sucks. Why don't we fill his drum kit with gun powder a la Keith Moon? I've all ways found him mediocre, if not boring. Seems a good enough reason to blow him up.

Yeah, just one problem Gambit. I have all his solo CDs up to that one with Another Day In Paradise On It. His stuff was good until that point (although I regret that last CD now)

OK, then you're off the board on the blow-up-Phil-Collins plot. Just me an Karkus. Unless he owns some of his ****e too and I have to go it alone, which I will.

Well IMO bands are just not the same when they reform and then I'm sure that the people who liked them in the first place wish that they hadn't because their memories of a once great band are then spoilt.

Well of course they won't be the same, I'm gonna blow their drummer up. Often hampers a bands performance, an exploding drummer, don't you know. Except for The Who, who are an obvious exception.

That's not true. Most of the Genesis fans here were too young to have seen them live first time around and would probably prefer to see them them perform the songs they know.

Also, who are Genesis kidding thinking that they're going to get a new fanbase from new material? Can you really see today's single-buying teenieboppers going for some pension-drawing dudes? If anything, people will go for the old stuff simply because it's well known and therefore acceptable. Anything new will be ignored by the TOTP lot and seen as uncool.

With the exception of Peter Gabriel, the rest of them don't have it in them to come up with decent new material anyway. And if it's left to PG to pen new songs then he may as well just employ the rest of them as a backing band for a Peter Gabriel tour. Which would be pointless. Any new material they could come up with would just be cardigan and slippers middle of the road "dad" music, and have very little in common with the imaginitive, cutting edge stuff they banged out as Genesis first time round when they were at the forefront of a musical movement rather than being a bunch of old men who quite fancy trying to recapture a bit of the former glory of their youth.
Whatever happens, Phil Collins will kill the whole thing off with the fact that everything he touches these days turns into a load of boring old guff that all sounds the same. He seems to suck the life and soul out of any musical project he's involved with.

Stick to a greatest hits package, leave Phil at home tied up in the wardrobe, do a string of stadium gigs, collect the paycheck and retire quietly.
