On the 8th day God created Phil Collins
Superb songsmith, writer and drummer.
Created and performed songs back when music was good. Much immitated however went from loved by everyone in the 80's and 90's to 'unfashionable to like' in the latter part of the 90s up until today - the reason being that most people on earth are an impressionable bunch of idiots who are controlled by the media and rubbish like the Sun Newspaper. Why does a mans lovelife effect how people enjoy his music? Fickle bunch of twats.
010101_bot - you say that Phil has vocal aids and the drum solo on air tonight was created by a drum machine? So how do you explain Phil performing the drum solo every single live performance? Is that done with holographic projectors? I suppose the drum duet on the 'we cant dance' live DVD is done with strings or effects handled by industrial light and magic? You complete imbecile!
As for the voice, you speak horse shit there my friend as well. Watch any live phil collins dvd or any dvd and you'll find the vocals arent corrected. Echo and reverb is commonplace on 1980s albums - do your research...
In all seriousness if I dont like an artist or performer I don't go searching forums i know i dislike to get on forums to go 'you know that artist you like well i have decided in my own opinionated little world that he is bollocks.'
when one of your friends puts on music in his car that he already knows you hate
cmon bob you know i think country is faggy so dont phil collins me here
The overrated drummer for Genesis who took on a solo career to do Disney songs and blow Elton John.
I agree that Phil Collins is crap.
A highly irritating 'musician' Once with the hooror of Genesis and later all manner of hell in a solo career.
Fortunately moved out of Britain due to his beloved Conservative party being knocked out of power. His hair continued to fall out and he got dumped by his wife.
The world is a better place without him making music.
His attempts at actin were poor also. See the film 'Buster' and his shockingly appalling effort in Miami vice. This man is evil. Avoid him.
Hey, would you like to listen to 'No jacket required' by Phil collins?
No, I'd rather visit the dentist and have them give me root canal whilst performing a blumpkin.
A small, angry, British performer who merely acts out songs developed in a studio by a group of producers. Occasionally, Collins will pay his agents to spread news about charity donations and civic contributions...none of which were dealt with willingly or directly by Collins. The only motive for which is the ensurance of continuation of record sales and passable public image to dilute the reality of his unabashedly self-centered, ill-willed, simply perverse ways, not to mention his utter lack of musical ability.
Do you listen to Phil Collins?
Who? Bill Collings?
No, Phil Collins!
Oh him. No way, he sucks. My sister went to one of his concerts once and got violently molested by a drunkard who got turned on when Phil started playing pocket pool and groping himself on stage. Hes a real degenerate.
A very successful British drummer. Sadly, despite what people may tell you, he cannot sing and relies on electronic music devices to make his music sound good.
Mr. Collins normally sings out of tune, but his vocal harmonizers and pitch correctors fix all that.
Listen closely to any of his songs (even the Genesis ones) and you'll notice how his voice is always doubled and slightly echoed.
On the song "In the Air Tonight", about 2 minutes into the track, the filters are tweaked so that there are 3 versions of his voice singing at the same time - the 'normal' filtered version, a comical low pitched version, and his real voice. The low, weak, screechy, high voice in the background is his real singing voice.
Oh and FYI, the 'drum solo' on "In the Air..." was done on a drum machine, so I really don't know how it is considered a solo when a machine is playing it throughout the whole song.
But once again, he is a great drummer...
