    Duke is their most perfect album - balanced between the prog 70s and the pop 80s-90s. I never get tired of listening to it, though some tracks are too emotionally intense to just spin without thinking about it.

    I like how Tony, Phil, and Mike still include Peter and Steve in conversation even though they left the group, there were no hard feelings. Some "rock" bands can't stand each other. Genesis are classy English guys, very English and cool because they play incredible music together. I hope Phil is doing much better. I have all their albums.

    I could listen to these guys talking all day long. No other band comes close to how they can make music that really moves you. I'm 63 now and was first introduced to them by a friend at school aged 15 and have been listening to them ever since and have seen them live numerous times as a band and also as solo artists. No other band in history has had that amount of success as a band and also as individual artists. Bravo gents.

      When The Beatles became a hit, someone asked Paul McCartney if he realized how much his music had changed modern culture. He simply smiled and answered: "You must be kidding me!" From the outside, it's obvious for us to see their greatness. From the inside, they are just blokes who happened to get all this attention.

    It's interesting that they talk about the egos. It's remarkable that these three men stayed together so long, especially considering Phil's success. That's three men giving each other the space to be for the greater good. Tony said it came from how long it took them to reach success. But I think there's something else. I've only recently discovered that Mike + The Mechanics was Mike Rutherford's band. How I escaped the 80s without realizing the Genesis tie-in is beyond me. But I watch those videos and think a younger generation would assume Paul Carrack was "Mike", because Rutherford took such a background role. Yes, he acted in the videos, but he's not the face you're focusing on in the band. And these interviews are the most I've seen Tony Banks talk. So I think Mike and Tony were shy guys who were happy for Phil to take all the heat while people said, "Damn that keyboard player is amazing" and, "Holy cow, that guitar!" And when you watch the performances, they always seem to really be loving playing together.
    Mike and Tony knew their power and were genuine in wanting Phil up front. So there was no need for ego. On any of their parts. I've come to the conclusion that performing was Phil's breath. That was his great love and everything else in life was his mistress. Genesis exercised one part of that breath and Phil Collins exercised the other. And he was more focused on breathing than he was on being adored, though I'm sure that was enjoyed. So I see all these men as being cognizant and grateful for who they are and the roles they played. And it's just remarkable. A 3 in 8 billion matchup. Because when panties are thrown and personalities are worshipped and charts are topped, they were able to keep hold of Phil, Mike and Tony. I'm just looking in from the outside and playing armchair analyst. But that's what I see.

    Great interview!
    In 90’s I worked at a radio station and I quickly realised that I didn’t wanted to do interviews the same way as everyone else. You’ve got the press release and I took that as things not to talk about, since I understood that they probably were tired of getting the same questions over and over.
    Eventually the artists asked to be interviewed by me because we had a nice atmosphere.
    This interview reminds me a lot of that. A relaxing atmosphere where the person interviewing is like one of the listeners.

      Phil seems like such a nice, pleasant, easy-going fellow who gets along well with everyone. Fellow band mates, anyway.
      However, his marriages are a different story. He seems to have a lot of difficulty getting along with his wives.
      Tony and Mike, on the other hand, have been in very stable marriages for decades. Tony married Margaret in 1972. Mike & Angie married a few years later.

    Tony Banks says that he didn't really know Mike Rutherford at Charterhouse School. Eventually they met when they started making demo tapes with Anthony Philips and Peter Gabriel.
    Before meeting Mike, Tony had heard of him. A house master or some authority figure warned Tony to "stay away from Rutherford," whom he considered to be a bad influence.

  • @mikearchibald744

    I think one thing they should at least acknowledge is that while THEY see it as a single body of work, guess what, all those women talking about Genesis in the eighties aren't watching videos with interviews or the reaction videos that young and old people are doing. When even Richard McPhail and Anthony Phillips, who are as close to it as anybody, say there was something special about that time you have to take it seriously.
    As 'artists' it may be ego that makes them not want to admit that 'as a band', as an entity where THEY were not the controlling factor, is when their best output was, at least their 'best' for certain types of fans. Even Peter became much more literal after he left, and so very different. Although I'd tend to agree with the notion that you can't go on forever writing about crazy shit hardly anybody can understand.
    And you have to wonder when Tony says its the 'interludes' they like better than songs on the lamb, what the album would have been like had it been mostly 'interludes', meaning, jams.

    I always say that something in the world totally changed around 1985. Attitudes, philosophies, technologies…no one seems to know what caused the change. In a sense, things are continually changing. The 60s were different in many ways from the 50s and so on. But the values projected in my favorite music do not seem to change over time. The Genesis songs from 1971 to 1983 are just as powerful as ever. I like plenty of the later stuff, too.
    I know there have been and are “social engineers” who favor certain cultural figures at certain times. Things seem to be way way way more controlled nowadays compared to the 70s.

    I'd like to know what music the guys listen to while driving, biking, on an airplane, etc, because I hear most musicians don't listen to their own music for enjoyment, which makes sense having to write, rehearse, record, then perform the songs. I'm guessing It's more like work. But I think after 40 plus years one may listen to some of their old albums for nostalgia because it is great music.
