How to See Your Heroes in a New Light
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 08:00:01 +0000 UTCIf you just want to see if I am exaggerating, the boyhood photos of Nic not having drums pushed on him are around this point.
The channel that produced the video has also released their full, uncut interview with Phil.
They’ve also released the footage of them assembling his drum kit, and him sitting behind it for the first time in years.
They are really capitalizing on the footage they gathered, because they’d be foolish not to.
The documentary focuses more on the injuries that stopped him from drumming than on the damage to his vocal cords that had him needing steroid injections into his neck before performances in the ’90s. You can find information about that elsewhere online.
I think my favorite quote from the documentary is toward the end. They asked Phil very specific questions about small decisions he made on a songs he recorded decades ago, and while trying to explain why he couldn’t really remember some of the answers he says the following.
“I am not Genesis’ biggest fan.”

They're all guilty of getting high on their own supply from time to time. Phil did a few too many Motown covers for my taste. But yeah, I love Peter Gabriel. It doesn't get much better than Solsbury Hill. Now, where do you stand on Mark Knopfler?

I would imagine. it's a wonder any of them can function now.

I was a huge WWF fan in the 80s. It's a similar feeling Everytime I watch "Dark side of the ring".

I used to LOVE Phil Collins until the duet version of ‘Carpet Crawlers 1999’ ruined it for me by juxtaposing him with Peter Gabriel, but I said that the last time. I don’t remember whether I asked you if you like Peter Gabriel, though. (I love him when he doesn’t disappear up his own ass, i/o is a fantastic album.)
