A great, interesting interview with Peter. Very intelligent, this man - and I just like the way he talks. Thanks. For me personally, "Us" is a very nice album. I always enjoy listening to it on headphones. To this day I love his music, his lyrics, his voice and his extraordinary music videos. ❤
I like to think US is Peter doing shadow work, as Jung put it. As ego driven beings, we’re often afraid and avoidant of the idea that we have dark twisted and wrong sides to ourselves. Peter dove right in and realized he had some darkness and made peace with it. It’s hard but rewarding work
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 Yeah I get it's his normal accent, but I don't recognize which area of England that is from. I can't think of another person that speaks like that.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 Well, I’m not an expert in accents, but I noticed his accent was different from his Genesis’ bandmates too, and I’ve had a theory for a while. He was born and raised in the South West of England, very close to London. He was also from a middle-upper class family, and he went to a private school. I think that the accent he was raised into must be very similar to Tony Banks’ and Mike Rutherford’s accents, but there’s one thing: their accents are quite posh and make them sound like upper class people. Peter, however, has never felt too comfortable being considered as upper class, I think. He’s always preferred to be amongst people from all walks of life, and sometimes the accent (and therefore, the social class) can become a barrier between people. So my theory is that he has always tried not to sound like he was educated in a public school, so he’s kind of “made” his own accent, planer and less posh than what it would have been otherwise, in an attempt to get closer to people, instead of keeping himself apart from them. That’s what I think, at least.
@@sspbrazil I think he’s very aware of the dark side of human nature, but he chooses to have faith in humanity, because what’s the point in living if you don’t have a small amount of hope?
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 been a PG fan since I was a teenager in the early 80’s, I was one of the early members of his fan club when it was run by Penny, I have two letters he wrote to me about such things as technology, was a subscriber to the Real World newsletter for years, I worked for Witness in NYC editing videos for them, I’ve been a film and video editor for over 25 years now, I work with technology every day, while Peter has always had hope in humanity, he’s always been somewhat blindly optimistic too and he may very well know the dark side of human nature, he definitely could not foresee how destructive social media became. I’m still a big PG fan, but I think he underestimates the dangerous side of technology including AI, it will eventually replace many jobs including creative jobs such as mine, I already use AI tools in the editing software I use and it will only advance to the point where I will no longer be needed. Peter’s rich and in his 70’s, so these things don’t affect him as much as they affect other creative people who will be affected by AI in the future. This year alone has been a brutal year for work in my area, many other people I know in production and post production are struggling to find work and with the advances in AI this will only get worse.
7:07 it's funny. Peter was always fond of technology. Now with i/o he's embraced a.i too, seeing it as the future and as a "tool" and he sees the worth in it, when most artists don't. Man never changed his mind.
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 Very true. And it's funny how he mentions technology "expanding" through "CD roms and Television" when all that stuff is outdated now.
So what...this makes him authentic and he still an interesting and likeable man. As already mentioned, he certainly had a lot of stress and also had to deal with personal problems. This doesn't leave a person unscathed. First and foremost, Peter is one of the best and most creative musicians. That's what matters. The Interview here is simply great.

He is a brilliant artist and a beautiful human being. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview 😊
My favorite artist.
Mine too 😊
Interesting that the hand-cams he mentioned here have now manifested as the Panopticom idea
Yep, he’s been thinking about that concept for many years 😊

That’s exactly what he did, yes. He said it himself 😊
This is a very nice interview with Peter. THank you for posting.
You’re welcome 😊
I love Here Comes the Flood
It’s a great song!
What kind of accednt is that from Peter? And I just noticed, he speaks without ever moving his upper lip.
That’s his normal accent. And I had noticed about his lip too, he often does that 😁
I think it’s maybe due to his shyness…

Ever hear the British saying "Stiff upper lip"?
Amazing how Peter accurately described the direction things had taken from then on in terms of technology and AI. Pretty amazing.
He’s a visionary 😊
Unfortunately, he didn’t foresee the negative impact social media has had and the dark side of human nature.

@@sspbrazil Well, I think he is well aware of that. Listen to Panopticom from his new, unreleased i/o album.

Nope. He stays true to his beliefs 😊

@@SicKno-i5r Well, all these things expanded so much that that technology is outdated, of course, but they were kind of the origin.
he was always so far ahead of everyone else.
He still is! 🥰
and he is dead on about singers/musicians (myself included) who feel liberated by doing instrumental music.
i have a whole thing about that. but i won't go on about it.
Insanely prescient.
Indeed!!
ha....no cd rom....wrong.
only 43 here, looks about 55.
Break ups and stress can do that.
So what...this makes him authentic and he still an interesting and likeable man. As already mentioned, he certainly had a lot of stress and also had to deal with personal problems.

What a respectful thoughtful interview so refreshing to hear an interviewer who really focuses on his subject
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks for this beautiful archive interview!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Let him finish a thought Charlie geez
I know right. then Peter tried to shake his hand in the end and he totally buffed him.
Thanks RP.
Wow, 33 years ago.
Peace on earth.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
No, 30 years ago. The interview is from 1993.
Yes.@@seamusin1697
David Rasche 😄
Peter flexing his superpowers in his usual kindly humble manner. Amazing. Thanks so much for posting this!
You’re welcome! 😊
I wonder of rose had his pants on for the interview.
😂
Prophetic and insightful is the role of an artist
Yep, that’s true for brilliant artists like Peter 😊
I love Sledgehammer.
Me too!
CD Roms, eh? Then again, i think hovercrafts are high tech. 😂
