Talented? 100m record sales, 8 Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and many other international awards, yes I'd say he's talented. Oh, and don't forget one of the best drummers and singer/songwriters of his generation. Just throughly awesome
Probably the most famous drum drop in history. If u notice the crowd got really excited the closer he got to the drums, because they knew what was coming. Thank you peace ✌️
Have you ever seen videos of the cabinet door challenge? I'm not sure what it's called, but it's a "thing" to video yourself slamming a series of cabinet doors in your home to match the drum drop.
@@doplinger1 that’s really cool, I’ll look that up. Thank you!!
@@ryanjsgrandma2009 - i found one that's a good example - ua-cam.com/video/7ceT8tyxtq4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EDM
@@doplinger1 Never heard of this, thanks for the link, that was fun!
Ah yes the fabled “drum drop”
🤣 as a self proclaimed drummer I shall forever call them drum drops. Love it bro
I don’t care how many times I have watched different people react to this, I never get tired of seeing their reaction when he drops that epic drum beat!
I know but I wonder HOW HAVEN'T U HEARD THIS
Yeah, why do I feel so muxh Joy watchin' other people enjoy what I love? It's like a drug xD
dint dint, dum dumf, doo doomp, dooomp, dooomp, boomp... boomp
Me too, I've watched so many reactions, and I cry every time! Every. Time. 🔥
@@eddiemoney5330 Same bro 😂💜
Sadly, you will never see a bad ass like Phil again.. I don't think, he is a legend.
Understanding the backstory of the song makes it even more powerful and emotional. He wrote this while angry and confused about a divorce. Watch it again and realize he's angry as he walks slowly for 5 minutes to the drums. Then when he finally gets there, he unleashes his rage and passion on the drums. Powerful.
Ya did'nt add she took him "to the cleaners", cabbage wise, Josef, in the courts.( Mind you, i WAS'NT there, i DID'NT see it with my own two eyes.)
I always felt that there was a very strong emotional event that motivated this song. Whenever I hear it I think back to a time in my life where things were very dark and I could not see a way out. Thankfully there was one for me for which I am still grateful.
Yup. The song is about Phil catching his wife cheating and the emotions of seeing the guy she had an affair with. I always like to think Phil hits the drums like he would hit the guys face.
Drums 3:41, measure 40, the sheet music is on the internet
No! He saw a man let another drown!!.
Kidding
FOR THE RECORD: Phil Collins is 1 of only 3 men who have sold over 100 million albums in a band and then over another 100 million albums in a solo career. The other 2? Paul McCartney...The Beatles and of course Michael Jackson...The Jackson Five. Pretty damn good company to be in....Legends!
I'm not sure Genesis sold that many.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV maybe shoulda spent 20 seconds on google before commenting.
@@dandiscer1373 "With between 100 million and 150 million albums sold worldwide, Genesis are one of the world's best-selling music artists."
What's 50m between friends?
I'd say around 75m.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV This day n age....the information age....people ae just waiting to jump on someone who didnt get it exactly right. No hard feelings mate...just knew the numbers...also know you cant tell most people anything...make them go look for themselves.
Thats some good history drop
You wanna see how dramatic this song is watch Miami vice and the iconic scene playing this song.
Fun fact. Phil was the drummer when it was the band Genesis and the lead singer was Peter Gabriel. Phil is hands down one of the best singers/songwriters/musician and drummers.
Even after 40 years I still get goose bumps at the drop.
@Rick Cooper Even when you know it's coming. 🙂
The hair on my scalp and down my neck stands up every time he hits the “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa”
The sad part is he's in a wheel chair dying,looking like a hundred year old man....
No shit…don’t think they got the impact!
EVERY TIME
Best break up song ever from him. “I don’t care anymore”
It’s wicked.
tes. react yhis one
@@susankovach8105 its not. It was written after He caught His wife cheating on him after He came Back From a Tour
@@LWeber-yw6zb Phil doesn’t even know what this song is about, it’s just pure emotion. Your correct tho he wrote it in his spare bedroom after he split with his wife.
@@Eonednb I suppose it's that the song isn't based on his specific experience, it's influenced by it. A song doesn't always need to be a narration of a life event, it can just be a broader venting of frustration etc.
Also, Van Halen You’re No Good.
"Older" generation singers and performers didn't need to jump around to get the crowd pumped up...they let their singing and instrument playing do all the talking! I miss those days!
I almost envy those who hear this song for the first time. It's a joy to behold, but brings a melancholy for days gone by.
I know exactly what you mean Work. When I hear this song I picture Sonny Crockett cruising the rain wet streets of Miami late at night with no traffic.
@@danielwellman9865 What you're describing is nostalgia for a TV show, not melancholy for days gone.
Lex getting so caught up that she spontaneously claps at the end of a video is one of the sweetest things you'll see on the internet.
What you want with great music.
Caught up is where you'll get listening to great music...
Lex is one of the sweetest things you'll see on the internet.
Lex is one of the sweetest things you will see on the internet! :)
Phil was a drummer first, vocalist second. For years, he did backing vocals in Genesis while Peter Gabriel sang lead.
After Gabriel left and Phil discovered he couldn't sing the entire show behind his drum kit, they hired other drummers for touring, but he always still did some drums. (Until age changed that, as noted before).
Phil has his son, Nic playing the drums as Phil and other 2 original members of Genesis returned for their final tour.
Still, Phil was an outstanding drummer! One of the best of his time
There is another iconic band with a singer is also a drummer. Don Henley of the Eagles.
@@MrTech226 his other son, Simon Collins, is the great musician in the family. Check out his drums and singing in his band Sound of Contact. Listen to the song Möbius Slip, it's better than the crap his dad put out in the 80s, and up to par with what his dad did in the 70s.
Is that still Chester with him?
Phil set the bar so high ...it's UN-REACHABLE!!!!!
Phil Collins is not just a singer and drummer. He plays almost every instrument known
Iconic song. Glad you gave it a try. Everyone should experience this song. Phil Collins is a musical genius.
No point in dropping knowledge on idiots. 😪
I saw Phil and his original Group: Genesis play their FIRST EVER TOP OF THE BILL IN LONDON in 1972 !!!! 49 years ago :)
It was @ " The Croydon Greyhound" Pub/Club with 3,000 others when the original Band "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded the day before the Concert :)
Probably the most famous drum drop in pop history. Great song and, as good as the original is, there are features of this live version i just adore: the atmospheric build up, the more prominent guitar part etc
I saw this for the first time a few days ago and I actually prefer it to the original. Plus, the timing to reach the drums at the exact point he needed to is amazing.
@@garykidson4489 exactly. The original is good. I always love it as it was the first version I heard and it is that familiar, nostalgic feeling, but this live version just hits differently. It is next level.
The secret is in the snare. They revolutionized that punchy sound that pretty much made the 80s pop iconic
@@stuartdubbs9605 Gated reverb?
@@crucialtaunt5717 😉bingo
It's just so sad that Phil Collins can no longer physically play the drums. One of the biggest artists of the eighties for very good reason. This song, in particular, will never get old if for no other reason than the drop.
How's is his health at the moment?
Yes it is but his son Nic does an awesome job picking up where his Dad had to stop due to health problems.
😢
He wrote this song about a deeply painful divorce he'd been through. You can see the agony and anger in his eyes, on his face, and hear it in his voice.
Phil Collins. Played Live aid in Wembley stadium, London, in 1985, then took Concorde and played Live aid Phillidelphia on the same day. Amazing feat! A record that won`t be beaten
Yeah, the future will never, ever find a way to travel faster than a Concorde. Ever. Simon said it. :P
Then flew back in Concord to join everyone else ar Wembley in stage for a mass rendition of the original band aid do they know its Christmas song
I remember that!. Such an amazing performance.
That Live Aid performance including sitting in on drums for the first Led Zeppelin reunion. That was a huge deal in 83.
@@beelzebob23 It was 1985, but yes, it was a huge deal.
This song was perhaps most well known from having been playing in one of the most influential moments in 80's TV, during the show Miami Vice. Iconic scene for sure. That drum drop, though...
Yep. Here's the scene - ua-cam.com/video/-aMCzRj3Syg/v-deo.html
Yes mate! Dang that scene got me so g'd up as a kid 😂
Miami Vice was awesome
Yup, it's the song they play when Crocket & Tubbs are going to kick some drug dealer ass.
Check out this scene in risky business, where it appears the year previously ua-cam.com/video/_Vu33k950O0/v-deo.html your welcome 🤩
The 80s was the decade of passion from the heart. The current young generation knows nothing of this.
Phil Collins is a true musical genius- he's a gift.
Leland Sklar on bass. A legend in his own right.... the dude with the white beard shown momentarily.
Leland has his own UA-cam channel. Leland talks about those tours with Phil. He even jams bass along with those iconic songs like this one.
I love Leland. He's a legend. And don't forget about Chester Thompson. The guy played with Zappa/
"I Feel Like This Is The Sort Of Song That In Movies They'd Play During Sex Scenes"
In truth, Lex, when Phil Collins wrote this song, he was in the midst of a really nasty divorce and this song was a way of getting out the pent up emotions he was having at the time
first thing I thought of when she said that...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I’m cumming in the air tonight!!!”
Also he wrote “I Don’t Care Anymore” during this time too which has the same energy.
@@madmitch3365 I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that song had appeared on the same album as "In The Air Tonight"
@@karlsmith2570 You know, I never thought of that. This song was on his first album and the other one on the second.
EDIT: He may didn’t want two “dark” songs on one album so he saved IDCA for the second.
PHIL COLLINS YOU ARE AMAZING ❤❤
Phil Collins was originally the drummer for Genesis. Whe the lead singer Peter Gabriel left the group to pursue a solo career, they held auditions for lead singer. After several months of failing to find anyone the found satisfactory, Collins said I can do better than those people. He stepped up and became their lead singer. As I understand it he was never overly comfortable singing as he preferred, at least initially, being in the background
Autotune has no passion.
My dad played music for a living, and he was a drummer. I never could understand how he sang and played the drums at the same time. Takes a lot of coordination.
It’s like adding a 5th limb in there.
Peter Criss of Kiss sang quite a few tunes.
Black Diamond would be a great reaction video. Live version of course
He just used his Mouth...
@Liberty over everything Me either. That is why I ended up playing guitar instead of following in his footsteps. LOL!
As a rock drummer, I find it quite easy to sing as you play once your mind knows the songs and what to hit. Brain goes on 'auto-pilot' where limbs are concerned! lol
Phil Collins really is a musical genius, even when he lost his hearing for a while, he kept his solo career going and helped other musicians that were just getting started.
Has Phil now stopped touring, was due to be last year into this but Covid messed plans up.
It was a very dramatic piece indeed, derived from the events that led to a divorce. I think in order to deliver the song with what he feels is the proper intensity, he has to revisit those painful memories. The entire song is a confrontation. What's being felt in the air is the rising tension leading up to that confrontation.
You are 💯% correct. A very contentious divorce, that’s where the intensity of his anger grows as the song progresses. I listen to the song almost daily and will continue as long as I have control of my faculties. Mike
I felt this feel shoved in my face and in front of my children for 5 months. I'll never believe women have any virtue whatsoever. They all are scavengers.
i feel it can apply to tension involving any bad scenario this song has transcended and just reaches people everywhere.
The drummer becomes the main singer, he was waiting for this moment, Phil is a GOD.
That drum still gets me all these years later. Saw him live on his own and with Genesis…so great!
Phil Collins is one of the GREATIST drummers EVER. !!!!
Hard to refute that. Not a fan of his vocals though
Underrated Yes. The greatest No. Neil Peart, John Bonham to name but two.
@@philippage5916 .... and Mike Portnoy, Ginger Baker, Danny Kerry....
@@smashleyscott8272 And Mitch Mitchell
Not even a top 100 drummer , and I've been a percussionist for over 30 years.
Phil is a national treasure when it comes to music.
I will never forget the first time I heard this song as a kid in the 80's …. Miami Vice!!
The most powerful build up song in the whole history!!! You really can feel it in the air
I see what ya did there 😂😂😂
He was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004. Truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance Into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is 70 now. His son is on the Domino tour with Genesis currently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).
Summer bon fires, our whole group would sing this song. The 80’s were an amazing era to grow up in.
Definetly one of the coolest moments in music when he hits those drums
Youre right this song has been in a lot of movies. One movie that comes to mind is if youve seen "the hangover" It played when they ran into mike Tyson and the drum solo was his fav part.
The most iconic movie it's featured in is the "train fantasy" scene with Rebecca DeMornay in "Risky Business."
It wasn’t a fantasy. It was a sex scene with Rebecca and Tom Cruise
@@aliseyedzadeh945 Yeah I meant it was Joel's fantasy to have sex on a train, I should have worded it better thanks.
@@leodejongful The Hangover yeah, but Risky Business was released in the early 80's.
The scene from Miami Vice is one of the coolest uses.
This was THEEEE huge song in Miami Vice's first episode, back in the day. I LOVED this song. I still have the cassette tape, although I think it has reached that squeaky point of over-old tapes, but this song is excellent (preaching to the choir).
Yes, this one and Glenn Fry with "Smuggler's Blues".
And of course the Miami Vice theme itself by Jan Hammer ("Crockett's Theme").
This!
I own Miami Vice on blu ray
@@screamingeagle7704 the original? Not the remake.
@@screamingeagle7704 - Dude. I have it on VHS! My homeboy worked at MCA at the time so I'd get a lot of media.
Wasn't it on Miami Vice in two episodes?
This is one of those songs that no matter what part of it you are hearing you know immediately what it is and how awesome it is. I remember as a kid watching it for the first time on MTV (back when they actually played music). I was mesmerized.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t turn into the world champion air drummer when that drum drops. ❤
Love how this song creates a razor sharp tension and holds it for so long.
One of the greatest songs of the 80's. A great time to live.
He was 1st a drummer and one if not the Best Drummer ever ! This is one of the most know drum drops ever. .
When it's late at night. Your driving an this song comes on. You turn that volume up an when the drums start thumping its heaven. Great late night driving song.
Phil Collins is a criminally underrated drummer. He was the drummer for Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the singer / front man. Phil Collins also played drums in a band called Brand X where he shows just how good he is on drums.
He is recognized as a brilliant drummer and has been literally for decades by real musicians. (Maybe not the Jonas Brothers/ Taylor Swift/Madonna crowd )
I think he's quite highly rated.
Wdym underrated?
He's the one guy who had the biggest influence on 80s music - he invented gated reverb, that iconic 80s sound.
@@3DJapanI don't think the average fan knows how exceptional of a drummer he is.
@@markallen2984 yeah, my thoughts are that the average fan doesn't know how skilled he is. One of my favorite bands is King's X. Great band and musicians love em and praise them all the time but they don't have a huge fan base.
You two are maybe the perfect couple. You're both so chill. I wish you all the best blessings.
And this is what classic rock musicians of the 70s and 80s could do kiddies thats why itsCLASSIC
You guys are picking some great songs. I love watching. It's like hearing these songs again for the first time. Thanks
exactly
When Lex said "Usually people dance" I thought "Well the only thing about him is the way that he walks".
Brad & Lex won't get the reference, but maybe in time they will.
Edit: Also if you are trying to categorise Phil it's "Dad Vibes". Middle aged, balding, dad bod. Not what you would expect from a frontman. He isn't cool and he isn't trying to be, and when he took over the singing duties with Genesis the band was seriously uncool for a while. Still wildly popular and sold buckets of albums, but no one would admit it.
Excellent reference. Love that song.
Around the time this album came out I personally thought Phil was a badass, haha... an entire album dedicated to hating your ex and its magnum opus is the most METAL pop song ever, "I Don't Care Anymore"?
@@dutchplanderlinde8883 That particular song came out on the follow-up, Hello, I Must Be Going.
phil collins......a musical angel
A stunning piece of music...a classic...
Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey had a great collaboration with "Easy Lover"
Holy hell, this is an outstanding live performance!
Phil Collins plays several instruments perfectly
60s',70s and 80s were the best times ever for pop music, especially in UK, so many great songs.
Phenomenal song, and it always amazes me that reviewers rarely comment on the lyrics or the emotional content that Collins' puts into this performance. Thank you Lex for commenting on the drama.
Hey guys if you want to hear some more Phil Collins check out the song Mama by Genesis. He became the lead singer of the band after Peter Gabriel (who you guys should also check out at some point) left. Love the videos guys, keep it up.
There's plenty more of his solo stuff without even touching Genesis.
@@mnomadvfx True, but "Mama" is so cool, and very Phil Collins-y. I'd love to see them react to it.
ahah, ahah, ooooohhhh
Definitely Sledgehammer!
Nice Pick. I would also suggest another Phil Collins song - "I Don't Care Anymore."
There Will never be another Phil Collins
Phil is a legend. Period. ❤
Not only a good singer, at Genesis as well as solo, but one of the best living drummers on this Earth!
Phil usually closes his concerts with "Take Me Home"...gotta check that one out too!
Cause I don't remember....
This song was made even more popular when played on the hit TV show Miami Vice!
He started as the drummer for Genesis. After Peter Gabriel left he was one of the main singers. An excellent song writer as well.
Phil Collins what a writer and instrumental genius
This song still give me chills
DID YOU KNOW: This song was mentioned by Eminem in his iconic song "Stan", when he says "You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin' But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?" SO MANY PEOPLE have heard this song mentioned by Eminem but still haven't actually listened to this song and understood the meaning. its a real shame as this has more impact to those who know it and don't need, rather then those who don't know it, but really need it.
legendary drummer, singer and song writer, movies tracks,
One of the most iconc songs ever. That song still gives me chill bumps. The song came along in the 80's with show Miami vice. At least I have always related that song to the movie.
There used to be a UA-cam series of videos where fans overdub favorite music over the famous black Ferrari Daytona night chase montage footage (the scene where you're looking at fast driving from the viewpoint of just behind the front tire).
My favorite track from the series is Laurent Garnier's "Acid Eiffel". UA-cam took all the videos down, tho 😔
In the 70’s he was the drummer for Genesis When Peter Gabriel left and went solo, Phil took over singing and playing drums. Both went on to have amazing careers!
Amazing careers indeed. If Peter Gabriel is on the list of your artists to react to, you two should check out Sledgehammer. I remember the video being super cool as a kid.
You don't see it often but I love when Brad gets into a song. Like he's having fun and not at work.
It feels like he shouldn't do this if 'having fun' is such a rare part of it.
Another banger from phil collins-I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S TRUE
So glad you reacted to the live version. Goosebumps!!!
My high school basketball team ran out to this song and we emerged from the darkness right when the drums kicked in, every home game! Truly the highlight of my basketball career. We sucked.
Possibly one of the greatest “drops” of all time!
Phil Collins did most of the soundtrack music for the eighties television show "Miami Vice" and made several guest appearances.
This is one of the many song's from the show.
One of the best songs ever, when he drops those drums, you will FOREVER play air drum solo automatically FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
When Genesis lead singer (Peter Gabriel) left the band high and dry the drummer, Phil Collins took the roll and the band ran up the charts. Awesome 80's iconic song.
I love when the younger generation finds some of my generation’s fabulous treasures. Phil Collins is a classic timeless artist one of my favourite songs of all times
An 80s GOAT.👍
Phil Collins Genesis-music icons!
The intro of this live show is insane
Such a powerful performance. This is DEFINITELY one of my most favourite 80s songs.
If you see the original video for this, that blank stare is all you see throughout the entire video!!!
They did one of the Very Best Light Shows Ever
This song and the whole concept is pure genius!
Phil played every instrument on this song, and then mixed them together on the original release. He is phenomenal!!!
Phil started as the drummer for Genesis. This song, if you’ve heard it on screen, was played during a very emotional scene in the show Miami Vice.
Mike Tyson vibed to it in the "Hangover" movie too 😂
THIS is what 80s kids grew up on. LOUD!!
This song cemented itself in the minds of people when it appeared regularly as background music in the iconic tv show of the 1980s called Miami Vice that aired in those days Friday nights at 10 pm. In fact music club profits went down because people would stay home to see that show all over The United States. The song Mama also sung by Phil when he was with the group Genesis also has strong vicious drums which Phil played himself. Check it all everybody.
I ❤ Phil Collins simply amazing artist , grew up listening to him 😁✌🌍🏴
U hit the nail on the head, Lex...lion king...he did songs for both movies..even tho this one isn't one of them..funny how the sound was recognizable
One of the top 10 music vids of all time😊
I have loved this song for years. That drum drop was so anticipated. The drums lifted out of the stage floor. God that was great
TELL ME ONE ARTIST IN THIS GENERATION WHO SOUNDS THIS PERFECT LIVE AS THEY DO ON THEIR RECORDS???????? ILL WAIT
He was a drummer 1st,/ backup singer As for not drumming, Collins said, "I'd love to but you know, I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand. So there are certain physical things that get in the way." He had back surgery that left him with the inability to drum anymore and uses a cane to assist him in walking. His son will be playing the drums in the Genesis reunion tour this year. Watch some Genesis videos to see him play more drums
yeah, he son played drum when Phill went on a solo tour a few years ago. sad that he have to sit down and sing. the young man is very lucky to be on tour with his father. he gotta be really lucky to do a nother tour with his dad in genesis.
The song that made gated reverb explode all over the music industry.
One of the best of all time!
