Peter singing on this track is another level, he used many techniques that he never used before, a fresh-creative work from him, lyrically and melody-wise a masterpiece.
Jokes aside, the plant itself is truly terrifying. You stand next to them, them looming with this silent menace way over your head, untouchable. Deadly like the xenomorph, you wound it and it kills you.
Off to see the Musical Box perform so just refreshing myself with the best prog music of all time. By the way, the plant is more like a tree, 20-30 feet high and flower heads are like umbrellas.
At the time I first heard this, I was a young guy, around 14. I'd only recently discovered that there was actually music for ME, not just my parents' music. I'd heard some Deep Purple, Hendrix, stuff like that. Then I heard this. Wow! Hard to convey the effect it had, and still has. Subsequently, I followed Genesis through the golden period. But how let down I felt when they morphed into what they later became. But this earlier music, through The Lamb and so on, all the way through to round about Seconds Out, great stuff. Majestic and pure.
The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, An Excellent, Fantastic & Awesome Song From The Best Band Of The World!!!!! Thanks Genesis, You're The Best!!!!! GENESIS FOREVER!!!!!🎤🎹🎸🎧🎸🎼
Today I think that this great song is the best of progressive rock in its genesis along with so many bands that I have followed for life. However, it has so many passages and styles up to the most amosic endings.Sublime of a good complete composition. Greetings from Chile
You bet. He can switch from a well-articulated bass line to a rapid 12-strings shuffle as the backbeat. He's got a huge part in the un-mistakeable Genesis sound.
@@garysmith5641 Giant hogweed grows “widespread” in Thuringia. The sometimes large populations cause major problems for botanists and conservationists. Eliminating them involves immense effort and costs.
My OH's daughter leads a team dedicated to cutting back invasive species in UK.... Giant Hogweed is the focus of a big campaign currently - The welts/burns/blisters, you can get by simply touching the stem are awful.
The whole album is a masterpiece. When I first heard that song in 1993 on a tape, I found it a bit strange and complicated in the structure, but today, in 2023, 30 years later, it is one of my favorite songs by Genesis. I love the album Nursery Cryme from 1971, also Wind and Wuthering from 1977. One for the vine is another fine masterpiece that stands the test of time. I could listen to that tracks all day. The atmosphere in that songs and the mood they provoke is marvellous. Unique.😊👍
Jimmie from Augusta, Ga....Home of the Master's .. .this album is nuts, my first time hearing most, broke in in 75-76 with THE LAMB...., saw in 78 in Atlanta, Ga.....and then there were three.....tour....amazing....love Genesis.....

One of the first songs that I heard of Genesis. From that moment I begun a Genesis fan.
Been searching for this song for like 25 years. My aunty didn’t like the music I brought to her house and gave me this album and I LOVED this song. Broke the cd and forgot everything but the melody. Super happy I found it!! Psycho battery!!
Tres muchachos con una educación de la elite inglesa que pusieron todo ese conocimiento, y toda esa represión contenida, en una obra llena de arte por donde se lo mire. Junto a dos jóvenes talentos que merecían salir del mundo de lo desconocido se combinaron en esta obra que es uno de los pilares de la historia del rock progresivo.
"Nursery Cryme" is a masterpiece. These five genius at the peak of their creativeness. Most probably they were in their mid twenties. "Immune to all our Herbicidal batterings" or "photosynthesize their venom"- if some other band put these words in their songs, it would have come out as garbage. The last two and half minutes were pure majestic, the beginning of opera rock, I presume. Hackett and Banks were dangerous- they were invincible. Same goes for Rutherford, Collins and Gabriel. " The return of the Giant Hogweed", The Musical Box", Harold The Barrel" and all the other songs are pure class. Find me another PR album of that era that can be comparable to this one musically, lyrically and vocally.
I do agree that this is a Masterpiece, but there were a lot of great Prog bands at the time. ELP, Jethro Tull, Hawkwind, Nektar, Triumvirat, Gentle Giant. Those are just some of my favorites, this was a time of great albums like this, and they all compare to this album. I don't think Genesis is any better than the others, though they are great! Just such a wonderful time for music, what do we have now?
Great audio! I discovered a lot of sounds that I was unaware in former versions. "Botanical creature"... "Royal beast"... wonderful ideas for such a crazy story based on actual facts. I definitively love this song.
Listening to this with high quality headphones and you can totally immerse in this fantastic music. But I loved it just as much when I was listening to it on short wave on a small transistor radio back in the day.
La presencia de Phil y Steve es innovadora , las letras épicas, Gabriel desbordante , Rutherford sólido y Tony creando atmósferas insuperables , amo Genesis de Nursery...y Foxtrot.
2021 Genesis still THE BEST band in this world. Genesis est toujours en vie grâce à Phil. Revoir les concerts de 1987 et 2007 entre autres... ! Patrimoine de l'Humanité à voir et à revoir les larmes aux yeux. Aucun groupe encore aujourd'hui n'arrive à la hauteur de Genesis. Perfection musicale et vocale. Spectacular, Magique, Eternel. Thank you so much from Paris. Take care of yourself, we love you, I love you...
@@bassterminator3608 That's true. Most rock songs are about Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica. You got the name right. On the actual song, Peter Gabriel says "Heracleum Montegazziani."
Imaginez,vous avez 13 ans en 1971.Vous allez au collège, l'ambiance avec les parents est morose,ça sent l'ennui,la radio diffuse ad nauseam des tubes de Claude François ,que vous détestez...Rien de bien folichon.Et puis un copain vous invite chez lui,et vous fait écouter un truc que vous ne connaissez pas,Genesis jamais entendu parler.La déflagration,votre monde intérieur explose et vous savez au fond de vous que rien ne sera plus jamais pareil,que la musique vient de s'ancrer au plus profond de votre âme,à jamais.
Che pezzoooooooo,stratosferico,che inventiva,che liriche ,che fantasia di quei giovani di all'ora,cribbio( mi riferisco naturalmente ai componenti del gruppo).anch' io ,naturalmente fan sfegatato fino a "thrick of the tail"
Brano strepitoso, incalzante e violento, non ci sono termini per Nursery e Foxtrot, due album mastodontoci ed ineguagliabili, un po' per tutto, sonorità ed atmosfere uniche mai più così nei lavori a venire seppure trattandosi di vertice come Selling o Lamb.... Genesis un altro pianeta
Esta era es la que marco mi amor eterno por génesis. una banda donde el talento sobraba y era tanto que emanaba de cada nota que tocaban. Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett y el gran Phill Collins en la bateria.. jamas, nunca jamas volveremos a ver tanto talento en una banda. Nursery Crime y Foxtrot son los álbumes (en mi opinion) más grandiosos jamas creados, pero la era Gabriel desde From Génesis to Revelation hasta The Lamb lies down on Broadway es lo mas hermoso que escuhe en toda mi vida. No son canciones, son historias, fábulas, relatos con música de fondo..
Great song and lyrics that tell a tale, I made a video to go with this song featuring the hogweed plant, to see it just type in the search bar above the following title....Lyrics for The return of the giant hogweed
There's truly a shortage of great songs about invasive plant species nowadays.
There's a shortage of great songs period 😅
Don't know, Giant Hogweed sounds more threatening than castor bean
Yeah but other invasive species are getting some coverage. I think there are lots of songs about humans.
Not enough about cats though!
Yes. Quite a dearth.
The Ballad of The Himalayan Balsam 🎶🎶🎶
Some of the best drumming in the history of rock is on this particular album.
And bass playing.
At 5:21, one of my favorite parts in rock music begins. It's pure magic.
Je le redécouvre 30 après ... et oui tu as complètement raison !
Peter singing on this track is another level, he used many techniques that he never used before, a fresh-creative work from him, lyrically and melody-wise a masterpiece.
ye wish they made a whole album like this song
Only Peter can sing this many many others imho. Phil is a good vocalist but cannot perform the changes like Peter does.
Spectacular key/gui duet by Tony and Steve, superb rythmic section by Mike and Phil, angry voice by Peter: a masterpiece of prog rock!
Not sure people know that Tony using a Hohner Pianet through a fuzzbox was played in tandem with Steve's guitar. Great effect!
@@brunoprimas1483. Des pionniers
The drumming on here is incredible!
One of my favorite albums.
Who am i kidding.
My favorite band. 😀
I concur.
My favorite band next to solo Peter Gabriel.
STRIKE BY NIGHT, THEY ARE DEFENSELESS!
I love this song.
The song that introduce me to Gabriel Era GENESIS! This song really changed my life forever!
A full medley in my channel ! Check it out with drum duet-riffs, multiple tributes!
Subscribe to my channel !
You must bei a soulmate
Hammond sound of Tony Banks is amazing !!!
The sound of the drums and guitar is unbelievable in that song!🎸🥁🎶🎧
Absolutely, and even more amazing when you watch a live show from those days
The 2007 remix by Nick Davis really brings them out!
the best thing is to listen to the old and the best remastered editions (not the remixes like here)
ua-cam.com/video/lQIiWUkgLfE/v-deo.html
No shortage of great songs from genesis!
Jokes aside, the plant itself is truly terrifying. You stand next to them, them looming with this silent menace way over your head, untouchable. Deadly like the xenomorph, you wound it and it kills you.
Best story telling band ever !
Off to see the Musical Box perform so just refreshing myself with the best prog music of all time. By the way, the plant is more like a tree, 20-30 feet high and flower heads are like umbrellas.
And VERY poisonous...
Nursery Cryme I have four times at home: On a tape, as LP, and twice on CD - the 1994 remaster (which is excellent), and the 2007 remaster.😊
6:56 if you pay close attention you hear peter gabriel scream *GIANT HOGWEED LIVES!*
... In the live version, he lets out a long scream at the start of the 'apocalypse' part. It's chilling.
Just played it back several times and Yes good spot.
At the time I first heard this, I was a young guy, around 14.
I'd only recently discovered that there was actually music for ME, not just my parents' music.
I'd heard some Deep Purple, Hendrix, stuff like that.
Then I heard this. Wow! Hard to convey the effect it had, and still has. Subsequently, I followed Genesis through the golden period.
But how let down I felt when they morphed into what they later became.
But this earlier music, through The Lamb and so on, all the way through to round about Seconds Out, great stuff. Majestic and pure.
This is one of the songs that proves that this is the penultimate boss of progressive rock
The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, An Excellent, Fantastic & Awesome Song From The Best Band Of The World!!!!! Thanks Genesis, You're The Best!!!!! GENESIS FOREVER!!!!!🎤🎹🎸🎧🎸🎼
This song made me become a botanist
As with all Genesis of this time, utterly brilliant!
Today I think that this great song is the best of progressive rock in its genesis along with so many bands that I have followed for life. However, it has so many passages and styles up to the most amosic endings.Sublime of a good complete composition. Greetings from Chile
this is the best giant hogweed song i ever heard
I think "Ziggy Hogweed and the Dandy Lions From Mars" is just a little better.
The end gives me chills every time
6:56 Phil!
When Music meets Magic.
Hacketts fuzz guitar, amazing!
Mike Rutherford's bass playing is underrated.
You bet. He can switch from a well-articulated bass line to a rapid 12-strings shuffle as the backbeat. He's got a huge part in the un-mistakeable Genesis sound.
Incredibile che dei ragazzi poco piu che ventenni riuscisse a fare musica così magica....wonderful!
Genialità e talento.
Concordo....Ciao da Trento
@@Burt472meglio Trento di Rimini
For the first fifty years I (German) thought this song was about the return of a giant named Hogweed.
do you have hogweed over there ?
Same here. French.

I couldn't agree more
In 'Fountain of Salamicis", you can actually hear the old, pre-Collins/Hackett Genesis morphing into its magical period. It's fascinating.
Genesis sure came up with some interesting titles for their songs.
Jimmie from Augusta, Ga....Home of the Master's .. .this album is nuts, my first time hearing most, broke in in 75-76 with THE LAMB...., saw in 78 in Atlanta, Ga.....and then there were three.....tour....amazing....love Genesis.....

the guitar solo at the end is my favorite of steve hackett's
Why does the light reflection on the vinyl rotate? Only the central label should rotate, the reflection must hold position.
God this sounds fantastic! I've just discovered instruments' parts I've never heard before, it's like listening to it for the first time.
Me too! Audio is great!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!! A masterpiece from beginning to end, magical, mesmerizing, hauntingly beautiful.

I’m pretty sure they’re saying “photosensitize”, which I didn’t even know was a word, lol. Hogweed sap makes your skin painfully photosensitive.
...so you will turn into a Slipperman when exposed to sunlight (no Lamia needed...)
They were 20 or 21 when they wrote and recorded this. That is insane.

Send that to Steven Wilson please.
When I first heard this song I was astounded someone could write such a master piece about a weed!
There have been hundreds of rock songs written about weed.
@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 But Heracleum Mantegazzianum? Ain't heard many songs about them!
@@bassterminator3608 That's true. Most rock songs are about Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica.
You got the name right. On the actual song, Peter Gabriel says "Heracleum Montegazziani."
A song that's both entertaining and educational!
Absolutely incredible....amazing thanku love an God bless x
Jim Knight is sorely missed. He LOVED Genesis.
Truly Amazing like no other band unige what imagination
Love 💕 Genesis
Me too.
Excellent piece of music here.

Am i wrong for playing "the musical box" on a constant loop.? I cant bloody help it. It's too epic.
no you are not

Ha ha yes i bet it really enhances the experience.
