Turn It On Again!

Hello Frontroom, been a while since I last visited.. all ok here?

Well I was wondering.. are there any more Genesis fans around? I got totally into the band a couple of months back, listening to a couple of albums my dad once bought.. and the more I heard the more I loved it. Since the band is twice as old as me I was surprised to find that they are going on tour!..

And the even came to holland!!

Sadly, my parents weren't really willing to go.. and my 18th birthday came just after it got sold out... gah!

I guess I'll just get the live DVD and keep my fingers crossed they stay together for a while..

Anyone here that is going to see the tour?

it's been time eh?

I like. Loved Lamb lies down on Broadway, absolute classic. I haven't seen Genesis, and I don't think I'd want to really, but I have seen Peter Gabriel live. He sure knows how to give a stunning performance (and I love his recording studio/houseboat!).

Good god, that's the least you can say!

Anyway, I like genesis, not a real fan, but I do like them. However, I'm not going to the concert. Me not much money, me not see many concerts, me only go to favourites.

Anyway hope you stick around again and good luck with cathing a possible next tour!

It's good to see you here, Drisos. Belated happy birthday

. 18 now? Gah... Time flies.
I grew up listening to a lot of Genesis (and to Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel after Genesis split up). I saw Phil play to a sold out crowd at the California State University, Sacramento campus, back in the early-to-mid-90s. It was an excellent show; we were right in front of the sound board in the center, so we had ideal audio, and good visual. I actually prefer Peter Gabriel's stuff to Collins'. Tony Banks, Genesis' keyboard player, was never a favorite of mine, but I enjoy his playing. He fits very well with Genesis.

One of my all time favorite music videos Land of Confusion by Genesis. Hope you get to see them perform, they rock.

hey guys! Thanks for some nice reactions!

What I've been doing.. well, I right in the middle of my exams now

for the rest I've been busy making and listening music, and last but not least my girlfriend.

Masamune (

), there's lots of discussion/arguing between Gabriel fans and Collins fans it seems. I love both - just think Rutherford/Banks/Collins make great music together - but if I'd have to choose, Collins, I guess. Gabriel's songs are more.. epi stories. Phil collins songs are more like the regular pop/rock I guess.

Land Of Confusion is one of my favourites as well, but there's lots of their songs I really like. (doh!) And then there were three is probably my favourite album. (we have it here, on such a black, large disk, I don't know the name) Follow You Follow Me and Turn It On Again are probably the favourites.

btw Masamune, I wonder, on the Phil Collins concert, was the guy with the huge grey beard there? I keep seeing him in Phil Collins Live clips, but perhaps his beard had some colour back then?

What kinda music? Do you play an instrument?

Yep, I prefer Gabriel's work because of his more, theatrical presentations. I like Collins' stuff too though. Since my listening time is limited, I would tend to listen to Peter more often, but that's just me.

Guy with a huge gray beard? Hmm ... I don't recall. It's been a dozen years since that concert. How much do you remember about when you were six? Heh (where's that tongue-in-cheek smilie ...). What instrument is he playing in the clips you mention? Maybe I can find some vids online and have a look to see who you are talking about.
