    What broke me was seeing him clutching those drumsticks all the way through the interview. And every so often there’s a wistful look in his eyes while holding them.
    You can tell he’s desperate to play but knows he can’t.
    I’ve always loved Phil first and foremost as a drummer so as a fan - it breaks my heart.
    But we have decades of great music (Flaming Youth, Genesis, Brand X, solo etc) to fall back on. Thank you Phil for everything.

    Respect to Phil. While I’m neither a drummer nor a physiotherapist, watching your video made me truly appreciate how physically demanding drumming is. In fact, I would argue that it deserves to be regarded on the same level as any physically intense sport. Athletes undergo massages, therapy, stretching, and more to maintain their health and performance, and I believe drummers should have access to similar care. After hearing your story and researching the experiences of other drummers, it’s clear that prolonged drumming can take a significant toll on the body. I think Drumeo should consider incorporating regular chapters on therapy, exercises, and injury prevention for drummers. Music is, of course, the main focus, but promoting methods to avoid long-term damage or illness could be just as crucial for the well-being of drummers. Genius drummer.

  • @aleccopile
    @aleccopile 8 дней назад +42

    I think the reason Phil Collins became big is not only because of his drumming skills, but also because of his distinctive drumming style. Chad Smith said it right. It's the same with his voice. Out of a hundred voices, Phil Collins' voice is instantly recognizable, and that's the point. You can be a great singer or drummer technically, but what sets you apart is a certain uniqueness.

    All I can say is just this.....Thank You......and now I will go cry. I have loved Phil since I was a little girl....1978 was the first time I heard Genesis and followed on to be a Phil fan going solo, as well as a Peter fan going solo. My whole life I could bever get enough of Phil. And I feel this is closure. Knowing I will never get to see him live ever again. I have never met the man. And I probably will never get the chance. And I am ok with that. Because of him I played drums until I couldn't anymore. I so understand what he was talking about and i get him. It's not just me being a fan.....it's about feeling the resemblance.

      Genesis Live was also my first album of theirs, I was 12 and bought it with pocket money in 1974. I had two older friends, they were brothers & introduced me to lots of music that I would otherwise never have known about at that age. I'm not a drummer but I have so much admiration for Phil, such a great fella.

Just a legendary career and much respect for his appearing on the final tour.

    Dear Phil,
    while I understand your sentiment about wanting to maintain the high standards you've always set for yourself, I hope you’ll consider this: art evolves just as artists do. Fans don’t expect perfection; they crave authenticity and connection. Your voice, your creativity, and your perspective today are uniquely valuable, no matter how they manifest.
    Music is not only about technical prowess but about emotion and storytelling-things you’ve mastered throughout your career. Even if the process feels different now, your legacy ensures that anything you create will carry immense weight and meaning. Please don’t let the fear of change stop you from sharing your gift.
    A stripped-down album, or even "just" one heartfelt song would mean the world to us. Thank you for everything you've already given us. We’re here to support you, no matter how your journey in music unfolds.
    Love & Light to you and your family!
    Your Eric Rylee

    Neil Peart told a great story of how he wanted Phil to be part of the first "Burning for Buddy" tribute, and he wrote him but Phil couldn't make it work due to scheduling issues, but Peart said he still had the letter Phil sent back with the cartoon drummer on the letterhead. He also relayed a story of how he ran into Phil leaving a shop on tour in the late 70s when I guess Rush and Genesis were in the same city at some point.

    I still find it quite amazing that Phil and Peter's voices had a lot of similarity. Even going back now and listening to "Nursery Cryme", Phil's first album with Genesis, I pick out Phil's vocals that, when I was younger, always thought was Peter. I think the first we hear Phil is:"Here it comes again"...the refrain on "The Musical Box", and then lead vocals on "For Absent Friends". Obviously, when Phil took over lead vocals, it still sounded like Gabriel, just not as husky, with a higher range when he needed it.

    Something nobody talks about when it comes to Phil's drumming: If you want to really nail his sound and style, you have to keep your hi-hat foot stomping those 8th notes while your stick is playing at the same time. His hi-hat sound was really distinctive because of that.

    En cierta forma es la entrevista que yo esperaba desde hace un tiempo ya , y bueno escuchar de la propia voz de phil Collins de que si algún día se levanta y sus manos y su cuerpo le permiten tocaría de nuevo la batería, pero al mismo tiempo su tristeza se percibe en sus palabras y su forma como se expresa, y no es para menos me pega mucho , muchísimo!! Phil es uno de mis referentes más importantes y siempre lo será recuerdo que los discos con Brand X a veces me gustaban más que los de Génesis y viceversa ...era una época muy especial y Collins logró azañas increíbles que pocos lograron y ojalá se despierte un día y continúe tocando, por lo demás los felicito por ls entrevista y por todo lo que han realizado para llevar a cabo esta información tan importante y en colocar bien en alto el nombre de Phil Collins y el de Génesis y claro!!! Todo lo que tuvo que ver con Génesis y Gabriel también etc ... saludos especialmente a Nick, Brandon todo su equipo de filmación, al Roady de Phil ( no recuerdo su nombre) me disculpa, por haber enviado la batería Gresh original....soñaba con verla allí para mí es MUY IMPORTANTE..y ustedes tuvieron el privilegio de sacarla y armarla , LOS QUIERO MUCHO Y long life to Phil Collins for ever ❤😊
