[HiggyBaby 2623]

Legend. Enjoy the two hour watch, or not. Time's catching up.

 

 

[Gil Bang 26306]

what a wanker.

[Gil Bang 26306]

holy fuck, this guy is 73 and he looks like he's 100.  Ringo looks like a teenager next to this asshole.

[HiggyBaby 2623]

The years have been as loose as his toms

[Gil Bang 26306]

I'm 10 minutes into this ego project of his kid's, and I'm waiting for Phil to talk about how he had an onion on his belt, which was the fashion of the day. 

[jimmyjazz 47430]

Jeez, what's with all the shit talk about Phil?  He's a legit legend on the kit.

[Gil Bang 26306]

is he really?

[G650 14465]

Watch the doc and listen to all the drummers rave about him.

They just don't want that goblin coming after them.

Have you ever watched something and then wished that you hadn't. 

Everybody gets old and everyone dies, but it's sad and depressing to see people that shaped my world get to the end of the road.   I caught a 10 minutes segment of this where they set up his old kit and he got behind it for the first time in years. He was so frail that he could only pick up one stick and lightly tap a few drums.  He'e only 73. On one hand he shouldn't look that old, on the other hand, that's what a lot of 73 year olds look like.

Same it’s kind of sad. I don’t know much about him as a person although apparently he’s got a reputation. But 80s Phil Collins was the soundtrack of my youth.

It turns out he's a huge collector of Alamo artifacts, and he's donated quite a bit of it to the state.

You guys have me curious.  What's with all the Phil Collins hate.  Did I miss something or is my sarcasm meter off?

[Underdog 29269]

Phil has a bad reputation? always thought it was Joan Jett.

Only thing I remember was he did that song about homelessness, and then a bunch of homeless people parked in the yard of his mansion and he had to evict them. Which was a bad look, but what ya gonna do?

And he made Genesis from an arty band into something more popular. But again, is that bad?

And then he had a great solo career with the kind of hit parade most artists could only dream of.

Smells like jealousy more than anything. Dunno any other reasons, I've never been THAT interested.
