Phil Collins needs to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. he is in there with Genesis also with Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel was is inductive in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame when he left the band. But if anybody deserves to be inducted in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame as a single artist, that would be Phil Collins. Phil Collins it’s a wonderful singer. Also, drummer you can listen to every album he’s ever made solo. Every song has a meaning.
I'm having a hard time trying to think if Phill Collins has ANY songs that aren't phenomenal. I went through some of my most angsty times in middle school listening to my Phill tapes, rewinding the same songs over and over again (especially "I Wish it Would Rain Down,") and I probably annoyed the hell out of the neighbors, too. (CD's did exist back then, but we were too poor to have a CD player so I had tapes.) Thank you for bringing him back onto my radar again! He got pushed back in my musical realm when grunge got big (then later, when Disturbed and MUSE appeared,) but he's always been a great listen.
Please check out Always in my Heart. He wrote thst song fir his Daughter. I always sang that to my youngest Son when he was little. He recently got married. And that was the song he picked for his Mother son dance. It brought tears to us both .
Polo, if you like Phil Collins drumming, you most definitely need to check out one of his drum duets with Chester Thompson. I particularly like the one from the 1994 Genesis We Can't Dance tour, Live from Dodger Stadium.
@《JesusIsComing》 Yes, Take Me Home is a good one. In fact, my wife and I got to see Phil in Montreal later in the 90's and in lieu of a traditional drum duet, during Take Me Home, nearly every musician marched out onto and around the stage playing drums. Also saw Phil in 95, and for the drum duet, Phil had his drum set designed to look like a set of plastic buckets, and Chester Thompson wore a long coat with a synth drum set built into it. So he was slapping different parts of the coat in order to get different drum sounds. It was pretty ingenious, which, of course, is part of Phil's magic.
When I watched Tarzan as a kid it imprinted a lasting love of Phil Collins music in me. I was born too late to discover his older works until I was older.
This was from his 1990 concert in Berlin just after the Berlin Wall had come down. Huge crowd with a great vibe. When he sang 'Another Day in Paradise' he said in German (if I recall correctly) that they had collection areas as they left to donate for a local homeless organization (he matched what was collected....and did that at every city). Cool dude.
I have very strong feelings about this beautiful song as it played on the car radio as we drove to the hospital to say a final goodbye to our dying dad after a long period of estrangement. It just makes me want to cry all over again about the lost time which can never be regained. I have been a Phil Collins fan since his Genesis days and his solo work stands the test of time. I've seen him in concert twice and the most powerful moments were always him at the piano with just a spotlight. And of course, In the Air Tonight which cannot be surpassed.
Phil's bass play Leland Sklar is THE MAN! I listen to him on his RUclips channel playing his bass to Phil's tracks and I can hear so clearly how his bass contributes to the vibe of all Phil's songs. And the guitarist Daryl Stuermer kills every single song. Do You Remember gives me chills!
I was born in 1968. Phil Collins was the soundtrack of my growing up. This song makes me sad listening to it because at 54, it makes me think of everyone and everything I took for granted as a youth. Sadly, many are dead or in jail.
Unfortunately he's not even able to hold drumsticks due to some problems with his hands, but then he is like 80. At least he's still with us and it will be a devastating day when that is no longer the truth 😢
"Seperate Lives' duet with female backup singer from this same concert is an absolutely beautiful performances. He lets her shine in it. Really a must see/hear.🥂Phil was also a child actor.
Love seeing people appreciate Phil Collins. For some reason, it became fashionable in the 90s ridicule him more than respect him. Definitely check out some Genesis. I'd recommend "Mama" or "Land of Confusion" as a bridge between his solo and Genesis work.
Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis before taking over vocal duties when Peter Gabriel departed the band to persue his solo career. You should check out the song "Mama" by Genesis. 🤘
If you like Phil's live performances then you should def watch Inside Out and Colours. Both are from this same 1990 Berlin concert. His live shows with Genesis are also worth watching - Home by the Sea, Mama, Abacab. It's practically impossible to find a live performance that Phil doesn't bring his A game. You definitely get your money's worth as a fan of his shows!
Heard I Don't Care Anymore on the radio today - another great one! However, this one is one of my favorite slow songs. Also love Genesis' In Too Deep and Throwing It All Away 🤗
My brother and I have discussed that the band Genesis was good with Peter Gabrial as lead singer. When Peter went solo, Phil became lead singer. That resulted in two super power acts, then Phil's solo makes a third. And fourth, Mike Rutherford had a band called Mike and the Mechanics thar had several good song, if you need to cry, "The Living Years" will do it. So four fantastic acts from one OK band, lol. I was lucky enough to see Genesis and Phil Collins solo during the 80s, I saw THE best bands and singers in the 80s. No one will ever change my mind on that. Peter Gabriel and Mike and the Mechanics are worth more than a casual listen. Probably first for Peter would be "Solsbury Hill."
Definitely here for some more Phil Collins. A couple of personal favs that are a bit different than the slower ballads you’ve done: Something happened on the Way to Heaven & Sussudio But I got all the time in the world for his slower songs as well (I wish it would Rain) And I Love that you reacted to a Darkthrone song. Black metal culturally/musically is a very intriguing sub genre. Maybe not the I would have chosen for you though lol.
Love, Love, Love,❤❤❤❤Mr.Phil Collins sooo much he has so many great songs💯 to pick one I really think you need to hear Another day in Paradise, This song is about helping the homeless people around the world, it's very powerful and Beautiful as only Phil Collins could do! I hope you pick it to react to✌️Love your channel and you God Bless you and yours 🙏💯 Rock on and Rock hard 🤘🦾✌️🎧
I can tell from how much you appreciate the more intricate musical bits from Rush and Tool and Smashing Pumpkins. I think you would like the early 70's Genesis where Phil was drummer and backing vocals. 'Firth of Fifth ' with Peter Gabriel on vocal will blow your mind.
Hi, if you really want to hear a song that really evokes emotion, listen to If Leaving me is Easy. Phil cries when he sings this. Its pure raw emotion. Actually his whole first album, Face Value is the best album Ive ever heard in my life. It's a roller-coaster of emtions...behind the lines, on that album is a killer track too. Hope to see you do a reaction video to atleast one of these songs. Thanks Godspeed
I hope you also react soon to his work with Genesis, I recommend "That's All", "In Too Deep", "Throwing It All Away" and "Taking It All Too Hard". In case you haven't yet.
This song came out when I was going through a horrible time, heading towards a divorce from the love of my life 😢 Phil got me through some really tough times
Phil has arthritis, his hands are now totally crippled by it and he can only play when the drumsticks are duck taped to his hands, even then he can’t play like he used to. It’s a huge loss to music and to us, the people he touched with his awesome talent. We were lucky to hear him at his incredible best.
@@drwoo6090 that's awesome. Like Jason Bonham, taken over from Jon. He played a awesome set when Heart performed Stairway to Heaven, in front of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones. Jason sounded every bit as good as his dad. Rob & Jimmy had tears in their eyes. If you've not seen it, check it out? Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🌸🙂
Love your reactions to Phil. I Wish it Would Rain Down, Against All Odds (studio version is the best or the official video - best live version is from No Ticket Required), Groovy Kind of Love (video), and the list goes on. Gen Z have been unearthing his music and it's awesome to see. His son Nick Collins played drums on the final tour since Phil can no longer play.
to get deeper into Phil's drums, any Genesis from '71 to '78 will do the trick. but can I shine a spotlight... first two tracks of Peter Gabriel's 3rd solo album. Phil on drums... 1. Intruder and 2. No Self Control. influence on future drums is incalculable.
If you still want to hear some more Phil Collins, if you haven't heard it yet the album is Genesis the song is Mama. I really think you're going to like it😊
I do believe that is one the best pieces of music ever still to this day pulls at my heart Went over to Detroit years ago from Windsor 🇨🇦 the best ever
Hi Polo, how are you? It has been a while since your reactions to Phil Collins. I have watched them just recently. There is track on the album 'Hello, I Must Be Going', that sort of finalized the anger he had about his relationship. "Do You Know, Do You Care?" is the burial of it. Check it out if you will.
He had his own band genesis along with Peter Gabriel....his song I don't care anymore w about his wife cheating on him with a friend who was a musician.. The subsequent divorce was a knock down drag out..and those words he sings are PERSONAL. The rage is real

Thank you. x
Phil does not get enough recognition for how great a drummer he is. His work with Genesis is really legendary.
He was taught by another great Lloyd Ryan, who I heard at a live concert.
@@RichardBedsIt's really sad that my man Phil is now physically disabled, but his voice is 100% smooth!
Some of grew up on Genesis and Phil Collins and I’m so happy you are keeping this great music alive!
Phil Collins needs to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. he is in there with Genesis also with Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel was is inductive in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame when he left the band.

Phil is a legend. Man had the power to make us a feel safe and secure with his music.
I'm having a hard time trying to think if Phill Collins has ANY songs that aren't phenomenal. I went through some of my most angsty times in middle school listening to my Phill tapes, rewinding the same songs over and over again (especially "I Wish it Would Rain Down,") and I probably annoyed the hell out of the neighbors, too.

He got pushed back in my musical realm when grunge got big (then later, when Disturbed and MUSE appeared,) but he's always been a great listen.
Tell it girl! Same here!
There is very little that Phil Collin's can't play or sing! He took Genius to the top along with his solo career. You are looking at greatness!
So amazing about Phil is that he can play every single instrument on that stage not just the drums
Guitar and bass?? Woow ❤
Best live performance in the biz!
Please check out Always in my Heart.
He wrote thst song fir his Daughter.
I always sang that to my youngest Son when he was little. He recently got married. And that was the song he picked for his Mother son dance. It brought tears to us both .
I always loved Phil Collins and Genesis. I always will love Against All Odds and Land of Confusion
You watched this video like you were entranced by the music. Which is all good because so was I! No words needed to describe your reaction.
Polo, if you like Phil Collins drumming, you most definitely need to check out one of his drum duets with Chester Thompson. I particularly like the one from the 1994 Genesis We Can't Dance tour, Live from Dodger Stadium.
POLO: Seriously he's right about the drum duet!!!!! Also please do a reaction of Take Me Home ✌️
@《JesusIsComing》 Yes, Take Me Home is a good one. In fact, my wife and I got to see Phil in Montreal later in the 90's and in lieu of a traditional drum duet, during Take Me Home, nearly every musician marched out onto and around the stage playing drums.
Also saw Phil in 95, and for the drum duet, Phil had his drum set designed to look like a set of plastic buckets, and Chester Thompson wore a long coat with a synth drum set built into it. So he was slapping different parts of the coat in order to get different drum sounds. It was pretty ingenious, which, of course, is part of Phil's magic.
If you want to see how great a drummer Phil was check out Genesis Live - The Knife 1973 it will blow your mind.
In recent years, I've come to appreciate him more and more. The man knows how to write, play, and sing. Always telling a story.
De fato
Check out I wish it would rain, just another day for you and me in paradise. Phil is awesome dude. Glad you like his music 🎵
The Amazing Phil Collins songs are endless❤
'One More Night' (1985) is another song that could be a nice Sunday track :)
When I watched Tarzan as a kid it imprinted a lasting love of Phil Collins music in me. I was born too late to discover his older works until I was older.
I was born in 1993 and I discovered Phil collins through Tarzan. His voice stuck with my heart forever.
Phil Collins and Phill Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire were good friends. They made an amazing song together called Easy Lover. So good.
This was from his 1990 concert in Berlin just after the Berlin Wall had come down. Huge crowd with a great vibe. When he sang 'Another Day in Paradise' he said in German (if I recall correctly) that they had collection areas as they left to donate for a local homeless organization (he matched what was collected....and did that at every city).

I've seen him in concert twice and the most powerful moments were always him at the piano with just a spotlight. And of course, In the Air Tonight which cannot be surpassed.
Sounds GREAT live! You MUST experience from he same concert Phil's duet with Bridgette Bryant singing 'Separate Lives'. It smolders. FIRE.
Phil's bass play Leland Sklar is THE MAN! I listen to him on his RUclips channel playing his bass to Phil's tracks and I can hear so clearly how his bass contributes to the vibe of all Phil's songs. And the guitarist Daryl Stuermer kills every single song. Do You Remember gives me chills!
2 of my favorite Phil Collins songs are I wish it would rain and No son of mine
Bless Phil, love his songs, he is barely able to walk due to a horrible back injury.
I was born in 1968. Phil Collins was the soundtrack of my growing up. This song makes me sad listening to it because at 54, it makes me think of everyone and everything I took for granted as a youth. Sadly, many are dead or in jail.
He's written some great music. The enjoyment I had watching this is seeing your total immersion in his performance. Does he ever perform anymore?
He just finished the final tour with Genesis. He is now permanently retired.
Unfortunately he's not even able to hold drumsticks due to some problems with his hands, but then he is like 80. At least he's still with us and it will be a devastating day when that is no longer the truth 😢
I love this song.
Please continue to do Phil Collins!! He is one of the best artists imo
Phil Collins song "Sussudio" 1985.
This is a great song.
Phil Collins is a Legend.
I Don’t Care Anymore is the track you got to hear from him
It's one of the songs polo did it might have the first one he listened to it is a great song
"Seperate Lives' duet with female backup singer from this same concert is an absolutely beautiful performances. He lets her shine in it. Really a must see/hear.🥂Phil was also a child actor.
Nice to hear reaction on Phil.. Next time maybe some live seconds out.. After glow that would be great
Best Phil Collins song , Mama
I still listen to this pretty much everyday
When Phil slowed down with his singing he had the Phil Collins Orchestra.
Phil Collins first started with the band Genesis around 1967 England.
Love Phil! They Air Supply greatest hits and Starship "Sara" from the 80s
Love seeing people appreciate Phil Collins. For some reason, it became fashionable in the 90s ridicule him more than respect him. Definitely check out some Genesis. I'd recommend "Mama" or "Land of Confusion" as a bridge between his solo and Genesis work.
He drummed for genesis worth a look
Polo has to hear them!!
No son of mine is a great Phil Collins song. Along with the rest of his music. Enjoy POLO!!
Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis before taking over vocal duties when Peter Gabriel departed the band to persue his solo career.
You should check out the song "Mama" by Genesis. 🤘
Ok Polo just admit it because it’s official now. You are a Phil Collins’ fan! Welcome to the club!
Love Phil Collins music!
Man ... Leland's base line is legendary in this song. Best session bassist ever!
If you like Phil's live performances then you should def watch Inside Out and Colours. Both are from this same 1990 Berlin concert.
His live shows with Genesis are also worth watching - Home by the Sea, Mama, Abacab. It's practically impossible to find a live performance that Phil doesn't bring his A game. You definitely get your money's worth as a fan of his shows!
A good one to listen to is.. take me home. That is my upmost number one song from Phil Collins
Fond memories from my youth❤️
Heard I Don't Care Anymore on the radio today - another great one! However, this one is one of my favorite slow songs. Also love Genesis' In Too Deep and Throwing It All Away 🤗
This happens to be a gorgeous song

I love this song. Takes me back.❤
His music was prominent in the Miami vice tv series in the eighties along with Glenn fry
Phil takes you back there.. right back there.. Few artists (apart from J.T.) have that talent
Check out the band Genesis. This was the band that Phil Collins was in before he went Solo. The song is called
" That's All." Live Birmingham.
I’m viewing first! Hell yeah!
Ever since watching buster I've loved him
Loved loved loved this one, good memories here
☮️💙💙💙🔥thank you for making me smile this morning!
Also if you're curious about Country music; I aint as good as I once was, is a good one to start. Beautiful song. RIP.
John Denver - "Looking For Space". He has so many hits, amazing vocal range.
You should see "No son of mine" by Genesis. Phil's voice hits hard with this one...
this reminds me of my first middle school dance😢
I can tell from how much you appreciate the more intricate musical bits from Rush and Tool and Smashing Pumpkins. I think you would like the early 70's Genesis where Phil was drummer and backing vocals. 'Firth of Fifth ' with Peter Gabriel on vocal will blow your mind.
Lisa Fisher "how can I ease the pain... Her vocals are amazing.. she was Luther vandross backup singer...
this man set the bar high.🎉

It be nice to have your reaction on Genesis with Phil Collin’s as lead or when he was their drummer.
Great reaction! The way they filmed this was weird but of course Phil was amazing 😁 also, I need his background singers to get with the program lol
This song came out when I was going through a horrible time, heading towards a divorce from the love of my life 😢
Phil got me through some really tough times
Phil has arthritis, his hands are now totally crippled by it and he can only play when the drumsticks are duck taped to his hands, even then he can’t play like he used to. It’s a huge loss to music and to us, the people he touched with his awesome talent. We were lucky to hear him at his incredible best.
We were indeed... I get tears in my eyes when I think of him unable to play the drums anymore...
His son has taken over the mantel, and is proving he could be as good as his dad! ❤
@@drwoo6090 that's awesome. Like Jason Bonham, taken over from Jon. He played a awesome set when Heart performed Stairway to Heaven, in front of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones.

Please react to I wish It would rain down, from the same álbum. It features Eric Clapton on guitar, and also on the official video. Thank you!
If you still want to hear some more Phil Collins, if you haven't heard it yet the album is Genesis the song is Mama. I really think you're going to like it😊
You have to do "Wish it would rain down".....Both live and official videoclip - LEGEND! love your channel 🙂
Plus, the official video has Eric Clapton!
Big
You need to listen to "I wish it would rain down" Eric Clapton is playing the lead guitar and it is emotional.
I do believe that is one the best pieces of music ever still to this day pulls at my heart Went over to Detroit years ago from Windsor 🇨🇦 the best ever
Abacab was his first song singing and playing drums. He was under the Genisis group then. I love anything by Phil Collins.
If you like phil collins you should check out the band Genesis. They have many fantastic songs 'That's All" and "I can't dance" are my favorites
Please check out Phil Collins - Against all odds
Hi Polo, how are you?
It has been a while since your reactions to Phil Collins. I have watched them just recently.
There is track on the album 'Hello, I Must Be Going', that sort of finalized the anger he had about his relationship.
"Do You Know, Do You Care?" is the burial of it.
Check it out if you will.
❤❤
Please check ‘something in the air tonight’ by Phil Collins (from Genesis). You’ll hear and see some great drums there.
That was the song he was leading in about. That is how he discovered Phil is a drummer!
He had his own band genesis along with Peter Gabriel....his song I don't care anymore w about his wife cheating on him with a friend who was a musician.. The subsequent divorce was a knock down drag out..and those words he sings are PERSONAL. The rage is real
I love this. What a vibe.
I have two suggestions for you to check out:
1. Devin Townsend Project - Juular
2. Leprous - Running Low
Mama by Phil Collins
Check out Easy lover live
Or.. in this cage.. Carpet crawl.. Cinema show... On and on
