Genesis (Band) (Music)	comment	For the video game console, see Sega Genesis. For the Web Game, see Ge.ne.sis (2009)Genesis is a British band active from 1967 to 2000, with sporadic reunions since then. They went on to become one of the most successful rock bands in history, spanning five decades and selling over one hundred million albums.Genesis has several distinct eras, though the transitions between them are somewhat more gradual than the popular telling would have you believe. Their first period only truly includes their first album, From Genesis to Revelation, which has a more relaxed and poppy sound and includes slight Christian themes. This album is not included in their official discographies and the band members have commented that it's only still in print because its rights are owned by its producer; however, the dissatisfaction largely comes from its Executive Meddling-induced saccharine production, and several demos from it were included in the Genesis Archive 1967â€“75 box set.The interim period and their second album, Trespass (a transitional album that does not clearly belong to either era, though in sound it hews much closer to their second), have a more pastoral sound occasionally edging into Hard Rock, both provided by guitarist Anthony Phillips.note When asked about it, Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford once said that Phillips' departure had a bigger impact on the band's sound than Peter Gabriel's. The start of the band's second era is actually a source of some debate; the clearest demarcation points are either Trespass or the introduction of guitarist Steve Hackett and drummer Phil Collins to the band.note Arguably, the era begins with Trespass if we are basing our telling on musical style, but with Nursery Cryme if personnel shifts are our primary criterion; many of the major musical traits associated with the band's second era were already clearly established on Trespass.The first album this new line up produced, Nursery Cryme, saw Genesis, much like other British bands at the time, diving headfirst into Progressive Rock. The albums made during this time are arguably the strongest, the band being at their peak of musical talent and creativity. Opinions differ on whether the definitive album of this era is Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound or the enormously long, Darker and Edgier double album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The production of The Lamb, however, caused tensions in the band due to Creative Differences. These, in combination with his bandmates' unsympathetic responses to difficulties in his personal lifenote namely him having to take a break from recording and touring with Genesis in order to tend to his wife and newly-born daughter, who had both fallen ill due to childbirth complications, motivated Gabriel to leave the band in 1975.Gabriel's departure led to about a year of searching for a new lead singer, but after multiple auditions, the band eventually came to the conclusion they already had one: Collins, who not only sounded almost exactly like Gabriel, but also had a wider vocal range. Despite his initial hesitance, Collins was convinced to Step Up to the Microphone, which led to two commercially successful (and fan favorite) records, Trick Of The Tail and Wind And Wuthering. In 1977 after the Wuthering tour, Steve Hackett also left, taking the quartet down to a trio, with Phil Collins firmly, albeit reluctantly, in the role of the band's frontman.After fumbling to find a new direction, Genesis released ...And Then There Were Three... in 1978, followed by Duke in 1980, which marked the start of the band's third era, as they broke into the mainstream with a slicker Arena Rock sound, this time to Banks' initial hesitation. The band gradually recreated itself as one of the most successful pop/rock bands of the era, performing to massive audiences, topping the charts several times, and selling albums by the truckload. Most people were introduced to Genesis during this time, and they are most likely remembered for a string of sleek poppy radio hits released between 1983 and 1986, like "That's All", "Invisible Touch", "In Too Deep" and "Land of Confusion", the latter of which even got an iconic music video by the Spitting Image staff.note It is, however, important to note that, despite the band's chart success as a pop/rock band, they continued releasing Progressive Rock songs as album tracks during this period, though these were somewhat less complicated than the band's earlier material. Arguably, even some of the band's hit singles qualify as prog in their unedited album versions, such as "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Home by the Sea", "Abacab", and possibly "No Son of Mine" and "Mama". Phil Collins also had a successful solo career during the time that Genesis was having hits, and his continued solo success eventually led to him leaving Genesis in good terms in 1996, as he wanted more free time to work on his own projects. Unfortunately, the next album following Collins' departure, 1997's Calling All Stations, was poorly received by fans and critics alike, and disappointing sales and poor sales for the associated tour (which prompted the band to cancel a planned US leg) resulted in Genesis unceremoniously dissolving in 2000.In 2006, Collins, Banks and Rutherford held a massive reunion tour called Turn It On Again, where they were joined by longtime auxiliary members Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer. The tour had originally envisioned as a reunion of the classic lineup, but Gabriel couldn't commit to a timeframe to be available, leading Steve Hackett to back out as well (as Gabriel's presence was the sole reason he decided to participate).In 2009, Phil Collins revealed that spinal problems accumulated during the Genesis reunion tour, caused by sitting irregularly at the drum kit, led to him needing back surgery. He is unable to play the drums or piano properly as a result, and he had to tape his drumsticks to his hands to play them on his Going Back album. He retired temporarily from music in 2011, and in the following years his medical condition improved considerably, to the point where he began embarking on a comeback of sorts in 2015 with a series of reissues of his solo albums (much like Genesis did with their catalogue starting with a series of boxsets in 2007), and returned to performing two years later. A reunion tour began with shows in the UK and Ireland in late 2021 and ended in March 2022 with a London show that the band billed as its final concert. While Collins sang during the tour, his health has again declined to the point that he can't play drums at all, and he remained seated for some concerts. Notably, the tour featured the return of Daryl Stuermer, but Chester Thompson didn't return; instead, on drums was Phil's son Nic, who had also replaced Chester for Phil's comeback tour.During the final performance of "The Last Domino?" tour, the band announced that it would be the last time they'd play together as Genesis, formally ending the run of one of the most-influential prog-rock groups of all time.It's impossible to describe Genesis in general terms since the band has always been constantly evolving, but they have a gentle, emotional sense to their music present regardless of era. Genesis has also pioneered several musical techniques during its existence and is often cited as inspiration by other musicians. There are also many Genesis tribute bands, such as The Slippermen, Dusk, and The Musical Box, the latter of which faithfully reproduces early Genesis performances, and is the only Genesis tribute act endorsed by Genesis members.They were also one of the early adopters of moving light fixtures, taking some of the very first units on the Abacab tour. They actually invested heavily in the company after being shown the first prototype and their manager Tony Smith even suggested the name "Vari-Lite".

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: Until they had enough hits to throw away a lot of their earlier epics, progressive pieces such as "Supper's Ready", "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight", "Squonk", "Dance On A Volcano" and "The Cinema Show", which were still played even as late as 1986, often clashed considerably with the new sound, style and line-up changes of the band in The '80s, to the point where they could be seen as artifacts in the set list.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Wind & Wuthering and especially The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. "Back in NYC" is probably the edgiest song Genesis ever wrote, though "Down and Out" and "Mama" can certainly rival it. Duke is filled with songs of melancholy, heartbreak and anguish to various degrees, particularly the "story of Albert" tracks scattered throughout, which seem to tell a story of the breakup of a relationship. Though all three members contributed lyrics note including the Happily Married Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, the Reality Subtext of Phil Collins going through his first divorce during the making of that album lends poignancy to the lyrics and Phil's performance.

Gabriel quotes "Old King Cole" at one point, but it's done so in a sinister fashion, given that it's a ghost story about a dead child whose music box summons his ghost... who then rapidly begins ageing and experiencing "a lifetime's desires", as the liner notes put it.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Part and parcel of the initial members' boarding/public school upbringing. It took until the recording of Foxtrot for Peter, Tony, and Mike to point out that things were working very well with Phil and Steve — this was after they had toured together for a year and recorded an album together. Similarly, Tony and Mike never really sat down and talked to each other about whether or not to do a post-Phil Collins Genesis album; neither one really wanted to do it, but assumed the other one did. The half-hearted effort is probably the main reason Ray Wilson doesn't have many nice things to say about either one of them these days.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_22093e9b	type	New Sound Album
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_22093e9b	comment	New Sound Album: While the band is often perceived as having gone from pure progressive rock to pure pop after Hackett's departure, their transition from prog to pop was actually fairly gradual, and they arguably never abandoned prog entirely. The clearest turning point is probably Duke, which consists of about half prog songs and about half pop songs, and was also when Tony Banks abandoned the Hammond organ and Mellotron for an entirely synthesizer-based sound and when Rutherford switched from mostly 12-string guitar work to a more conventional David Gilmourish tone. The concept suite spread throughout the album (see "Concept Album" above) still has pretty strong prog elements (especially the final two, mostly instrumental tracks). The prog sound was more fully abandoned on the next album, Abacab, although the title track and "Dodo/Lurker" still had trace elements of the band's prog roots, and the Self-Titled Album finalized the shift, with AllMusic declaring it the point where Genesis were definitively a "pop" band rather than a "prog" band. That said, a few tracks on the remaining "pop" albums also have elements of progressive rock and could be considered examples of what Prog Archives classifies as "Crossover Prog"note Genesis: "Home by the Sea"/"Second Home by the Sea", and to a lesser extent the album version of "Mama"; Invisible Touch: "Domino", "The Brazilian", and to a lesser extent the album version of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight"; We Can't Dance: "Driving the Last Spike", "Dreaming While You Sleep", "Living Forever", "Fading Lights", and to a lesser extent the album version of "No Son of Mine". Meanwhile, the band also had several earlier works that were clearly early attempts at crafting pop singles but were simply too quirky to receive mass airplay ("Happy the Man" from the Nursery Cryme sessions, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" from Selling England by the Pound, "Counting Out Time" from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, "A Trick of the Tail" from its eponymous album, etc.); the band's first pop songs to catch on were "Your Own Special Way" (Wind & Wuthering) and "Follow You Follow Me" (...And Then There Were Three...). Trespass is probably the most straightforward example, since it was much closer to the progressive sound they were eventually famous for than the folksy light psychedelic pop of From Genesis to Revelation. The band's last album and only album with Ray Wilson, Calling All Stations is another example, due to its more Alternative Rock sound.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_2439b588	comment	As the Good Book Says...: Befitting their name, they have some Biblical quotes in their lyrics, mostly in the Peter Gabriel era. Some are quite subtle - the line "seen darkly through the glass" from "The Battle of Epping Forest" is a reference to the phrase "through a glass, darkly", which appears in 1 Corinthians (and also provided the title of an Ingmar Bergman film, amongst other things), while "stranger in an alien place" from "Heathaze" is probably a reference to the phrase "Stranger in a strange land" from Exodus 2:22 (which gave the Heinlein novel its title) - and others are very much in Mind Screw territory.

This tends to be a recurring problem for re-releases that call themselves "definitive editions/versions," though with Genesis it tends to get picked at a lot more due to the heavy Loudness War techniques on the 2007 remasters.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_2b7d29e1	comment	Artifact Title: Abacab is titled after an early arrangement of the title track, and although it changed, they liked the sound of it and used it as the final title. Three Sides Live was so named because it had three album sides of live material, and a fourth made up by studio tracks. However, in the UK, this format was dropped, and the fourth side consisted of live performances of Gabriel-era material. In all cases, the (somewhat temporary) decline of vinyl resulted in this title's meaning becoming somewhat obscure for some twenty years.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_2bf54826	type	Longest Song Goes Last
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_2bf54826	comment	Longest Song Goes Last: Foxtrot closes with "Supper's Ready" (22:57). Also, We Can't Dance closes with "Fading Lights" (10:16), which just barely edges out "Driving the Last Spike" (10:09) as the longest song on the album. At least two other albums also qualify if you consider their Siamese Twin Songs to be a single track: "The Cinema Show"/"Aisle of Plenty" (12:39) from Selling England by the Pound, and "Duke's Travels"/"Duke's End" (10:47) from Duke. (In either case, "Duke's Travels" is by some measure the longest song on the album.) A third case, "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers..."/"...In That Quiet Earth"/"Afterglow" (11:24) from Wind & Wuthering, is arguable. Selling England and Duke are clearly cases where the band just decided, for whatever reason, to separate a long song's coda into its own track, but there's a clear demarcation in the Wind & Wuthering case. The first two of these tracks are instrumental, and "Afterglow" is a fairly straightforward pop song that contains no musical or rhythmic elements in common with the two instrumentals.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_3bbf3fef	type	Recurring Riff
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_3bbf3fef	comment	Recurring Riff: Selling England by the Pound opens and closes with the same melody. This is because the two songs (along with the interlinking "The Cinema Show") were originally composed as a single suite, but the band split them up after deciding it was too similar to "Supper's Ready". The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, being a Rock Opera, gets in on the action. Most prominently, the Title Track gets a Dark Reprise as "The Light Dies Down on Broadway" (which also uses elements of "The Lamia"), but there are plenty of other examples. A Trick of the Tail ends with "Los Endos", which reprises elements from "Dance on a Volcano" and "Squonk" (and "It's Yourself," which was cut from the album, though it was used as a B-Side and appears on the band's Archive '76-'91), as well as two lines from the band's earlier song, "Supper's Ready". On Wind & Wuthering, one of the riffs from "Eleventh Earl of Mar" is reprised in the second half of "...In That Quiet Earth". From the Duke suite, "Duke's Travels" reprises "Guide Vocal" at the end, and "Duke's End" does the same for the opening riff of "Behind the Lines" and a riff from "Turn It On Again". (Actually, "Duke's Travels") briefly reprises the main melody of "Behind the Lines" after the "Guide Vocal" reprise as well.) Part of Tony Banks' keyboard solo in the instrumental section of "Fading Lights" (around five or six minutes into the song) is melodically reminiscent of elements from the bridge near the end of "No Son of Mine". It's not exactly identical, but it's close enough that it stands out and provides a sense of Bookends to the entire album (since they're the last and first songs, respectively).

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_479f9ad0	comment	Characterization Marches On: Peter Gabriel started out as a typical front man. It wasn't until "Foxtrot" when his personality became much more eccentric and the costumes became a part of the act. Steve Hackett had a beard, glasses and sat while he played early on. He also was mainly just the guitarist, with his song writing contributions limited. Bill Bruford helped him develop more confidence during the "Trick of the Tail" tour and by the last album he did with the band ("Wind & Wuthering"), he no longer had facial hair or wore glasses, he stood while performing, and he became the second most important songwriter in the group, behind only Tony Banks. Phil Collins went from a drummer providing backing vocals and occasionally lead vocals, to a lead singer who became the face of the band. The band itself. They went from prog rock heavyweights with a largely 18-34 year old male audience to ubiquitous soft rock titans popular with housewives and soccer moms everywhere (though, in fairness, the prog rock elements never went away and remained a part of every album and every tour).

The calypso-inspired horns make it clear this is referring to the large amount of Caribbean immigrants to the UK in the '70s, who were unfairly criticised in a similar way to the way Polish and Arabic people are today. This song remains surprisingly relevant with the increase in right-wing sentiment towards immigrants post-9/11 (and especially post 7/7 in the UK).

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_51f90774	comment	Step Up to the Microphone: One of the most famous examples, with drummer Phil Collins taking over as lead vocalist after Peter Gabriel's departure. (Ironically given how long Genesis searched for a replacement for Gabriel, some listeners have had trouble even distinguishing Collins' voice from Gabriel's.) Even during the Gabriel era, Collins sang lead on "For Absent Friends" (from Nursery Cryme) and "More Fool Me" (from Selling England by the Pound). His voice also dominates the mix of "Harlequin" (also from Nursery Cryme; may actually be a case of Self-Backing Vocalist), and he sings a few lines in "The Colony of Slippermen" (from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) to represent Rael's brother John. He also provides backing vocals on several other songs from the Gabriel albums and can be clearly heard once listeners have learned to distinguish his voice, particularly on headphones. Tony Banks and Ant Phillips provide a few lines of lead vocals on "Shepherd" and "Let Us Now Make Love", respectively, on the first Genesis Archive box set. Bizarre example from Hackett's solo career: his first two albums largely relied on guest stars, but for the Spectral Mornings and Defector albums, Hackett had a stable band including Pete Hicks on lead vocals. However, Hackett himself sings lead on "Ballad of the Decomposing Man". Starting with his next album, Cured, Hackett would start singing most of his songs himself. Another Hackett example: Nad Sylvan was the nominal lead vocalist on the "Genesis Revisited" tour, along with some special guests, but drummer Gary O'Toole sang "Fly on a Windshield"/"Broadway Melody of 1974" and "Blood on the Rooftops".

The tour had originally been planned as a reunion of the classic '70s lineup (the idea was to perform The Lamb in its entirety at at least some of the shows), which Peter Gabriel shot down as he was in the midst of recording his solo record Up.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_74149c93	comment	Epic Rocking: Experts in it. The biggest example is "Supper's Ready", which is nearly 23 minutes long and takes nearly a side of Foxtrot. Also of note is the solo section in "The Cinema Show," which would find its way into medleys on the band's late '70s and early '80s live shows. A suite of songs on Selling England by the Pound was initially intended to rival "Supper's Ready" in this, but the band split it up to bookend the album after deciding it was too similar. The songs are "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", "The Cinema Show", and "Aisle of Plenty". Together they reach about twenty and a half minutes. Another suite of songs on Duke, often called "The Story of Albert", would have gone even further than "Supper's Ready" in this (it's a little over twenty-eight minutes long), but the band again split it up (although they performed its original configuration in its entirety live during virtually every show they played in 1980). The songs here are "Behind the Lines", "Duchess", "Guide Vocal", "Turn It On Again", "Duke's Travels", and "Duke's End". There are recurring motifs throughout this suite that give Duke the feel of a Concept Album. Notably, they continued providing examples of this trope even after allegedly becoming a pop rock band. The self-titled album has a two-song suite that reaches eleven minutes, while one song on Invisible Touch and two on We Can't Dance break the ten-minute mark. The Invisible Touch hit "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is nearly nine minutes long on the album, but was cut down to a more radio friendly four and a half minutes for its single release. Invisible Touch also includes the two-part epic, nearly eleven minute long "Domino".

Much of these remixes add, remove, or alter the levels of various vocal and instrumental tracks, most prominently adding gated reverb to many of the drum parts, even on the pre-Abacab material.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_786bf97f	comment	Real Life Writes the Plot: "The Battle of Epping Forest" from the album Selling England by the Pound. Sadly, "No Son of Mine" evidently fits this trope as well. "Since I Lost You" is less about Collins' life and that of Eric Clapton; the song was written in response to Collins hearing about the death of Clapton's four-year-old son. Songs on Duke and Abacab written by Phil reflect on his first marriage crumbling. They were written around the same time period as Face Value. As does "Throwing It All Away" on Invisible Touchnote The lyrics for this one were actually written by Happily Married Mike Rutherford. The move towards more personal songs is something people have criticised the Phil Collins era for.

The event raised money for Gabriel's WOMAD world music festival, which was experiencing financial issues. Accordingly, the concert mostly focused on Gabriel-era material, plus Gabriel's solo song "Solsbury Hill" (which incidentally was about his decision to leave Genesis) and the Collins-era hit "Turn It On Again" (featuring Gabriel on drums). Another reunion nearly happened in 2004, when the five classic members reconvened to discuss a tour. Gabriel was ultimately unable to commit, and the project eventually turned into the 2007 Genesis reunion tour featuring only Collins, Banks and Rutherford.

The ending of "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" movement of "Supper's Ready" also contains a children's chorus singing "We will rock you, rock you, little snake / We will keep you safe and warm." It's not really much less sinister-sounding.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_a32334b4	type	Canon Discontinuity
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_a32334b4	comment	Canon Discontinuity: From Genesis to Revelation, the first album, contains nearly none of the elaborate prog-rock trappings that would define every album after, having a more psychodelic, poppy sound. It is the only album where the rights aren't held by the band, but by the band's manager/producer at the time, Jonathan King. The band's name was left off initial pressings since there was an American band also named Genesis at the time. When the band re-mastered its catalog in 1994 and 2007, that album was not included in the reissues. The album does get re-released periodically, largely because of the aforementioned issue of the band not owning the rights to it. Some re-pressings re titled the record In the Beginning, in yet another biblical pun. Most of the tracks, despite the record's Old Shame, appear on the Genesis Archives 1971-1975 box set (albeit in different arrangements without the widely disliked string section placed on the album as a result of Executive Meddling). It's set to be released again (on 180g vinyl, no less) by German label Repertoire Records in 2016. The only acknowledgement in recent memory that ...Calling All Stations... even exists is its being remastered and re-released with the rest of Genesis' discography in 2008. Ever since the Turn It On Again reunion tour, even the band themselves pretend the album, and Ray Wilson being their lead singer, just never happened. The 2014 documentary Genesis: Together and Apart doesn't even mention Wilson or the album. While Rutherford & Banks may not acknowlege him, Steve Hackett had him sing "The Carpet Crawlers" for a new track included on an abridged re-release of his Genesis Revisited II record in 2014. He also performed the song live with him at the Royal Albert Hall, later released on CD and DVD.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: The Peter Gabriel solo song "Solsbury Hill" is about his departure from Genesis. Word of God confirms this. Many fans also feel that way about Ray Wilson following Phil Collins as lead singer. "Land of Confusion" isn't particularly subtle given that the video contains unflattering caricatures of Ronald Reagan by the creators of Spitting Image (the video actually contains numerous caricatures of contemporary politicians and celebrities, but focuses mainly on Reagan). The lyrics themselves are more subtle but still, if you read between the lines, make it pretty clear that the band aren't too pleased with Reagan or Margaret Thatcher. Many of the We Can't Dance songs are attacks of one form or another: "I Can't Dance" ridicules stylistic, male model-heavy Dada Ads selling blue jeans (Phil felt the backing track sounded like an artsy/trendy Levi's ad, and the illustration shows a man wearing blue jeans, taken from his backside); "Living Forever" mocks self-help trends, new age philosophies and fad diets; "Tell Me Why" criticizes wealthy governments for doing too little to help poverty and hunger; "Jesus He Knows Me" skewers the hypocrisy of wealthy, money-grubbing televangelists (especially Ernest Angley - who, Phil was disturbed to learn, was flattered by the song); etc. Half of the video interviews on the 2007 box set consist of band members (particularly Peter and Tony) "good-naturedly" taking potshots at each other's playing and songwriting style. Gabriel in particular still seems raw about the rifts that opened up between him and the band when recording The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

As of 2015, Henley is still touring with the Eagles, drumming about half the band's three-hour-and-change set note To be fair, Henley mostly switches to guitar for songs where he sings lead, and generally lets a sideman handle the heavier songs, while Collins' back injuries didn't put him in retirement; he just took a 5 year vacation.

Peter Gabriel, who felt the group was unsympathetic to his wife's challenging pregnancy. Steve Hackett, who wanted more songwriting credits and time to do solo work. Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson both briefly left the band when they asked Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford to become full time members after the departure of Phil Collins in 1996, but Banks and Rutherford refused. Stuermer returned for the reunions in 2006 and 2020 and Thompson for the 2006 reunion, but he left the band for good in 2010 after having a falling out with Phil Collins.

Bruford opted not to continue working with Genesis, disliking the routine nature of his role, and was replaced by former Frank Zappa/Weather Report drummer Chester Thompson in 1977. Thompson stayed as the band's live co-drummer till 1996, then returned for the trio lineup's reunion tour of 2007, even taking part in "Drum Duet", a live-only piece that he and Collins would play as a lead-in to "Los Endos". Guitarist/bassist Daryl Stuermer joined in 1978 for their live shows when Steve Hackett quit. Steve Hackett's brother John Hackett worked as an uncredited songwriter and arranger for the group on Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

There is a disagreement about how involved he was, with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Steve Hackett saying he was very involved, while Tony Banks believes his contributions were minimal. The Ray Wilson era saw Anthony Drennan replace Steurmer and Nir Zidyahu replace Thompson for the short Calling All Stations tour. The 2020 reunion tour will feature Phil Collins' son Nic (who also played on Phil's Not Dead Yet your) behind the drums in addition to longtime touring guitarist Daryl Steurmer.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_db26451e	type	Limited Lyrics Song
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_db26451e	comment	Limited Lyrics Song: "Los Endos" only has two lines, sung towards the end, and is otherwise entirely instrumental. (Both lines are reprised from "Supper's Ready" three albums prior). Other songs can also qualify as this; for example, "Fading Lights" has only three verse/chorus cycles in over ten minutes of running time, with roughly seven minutes of the song being instrumental. The "Lurker" half of "Dodo/Lurker" is also an example, as the riddle that makes up the lyrics of the movement is repeated twice and the section has no other lyrics. The nearly-nine-minute "Duke's Travels" features a Triumphant Reprise of the one-and-a-half minute "Guide Vocal" towards the end and is otherwise instrumental.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8	type	Lyrical Dissonance
Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8	comment	Lyrical Dissonance: "Snowbound" from ...And Then There Were Three.... A gorgeously orchestrated song about hiding a dismembered body in a snowman. "Tonight, Tonight Tonight" The sprightly tempo of "Harold the Barrel" hides some very macabre humour underneath. "Turn It On Again", an upbeat pop rock tune about a man who only watches TV all day and thinks the people on TV are his friends. While Collins chose to do most of the upbeat, peppy songs he wrote with lyrics clearly about his divorce from his first wife on his first two solo albums, some did make it to band albums during that period, including hit singles like "Misunderstanding" and "No Reply At All". "In Too Deep" is a slower, lusher song that fits this category as well. Not that the band couldn't come up with these on its own in the '80s: "Just a Job to Do" ... a bouncy radio-friendly song from the perspective of a determined hit man; "Illegal Alien", almost goofy music with lyrics about the travails of being an illegal alien, and "Invisible Touch", upbeat pop that's either a warning about a woman to avoid or about how it's entirely too easy to get addicted to cocaine and you'd best not even try it once.

The cover drop doesn't happen in the lyrics of the album themselves but in the booklet's liner notes to The Musical Box, describing a beheading by a croquet mallet. In Supper's Ready, there's a punny one for Foxtrot, the "focks on the rocks". A drop of one album's cover in the background of the artwork of another one? Well, that's ununsual ...Let's see if you can find it.◊ The verse "When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk" from I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) refers to the cover of ''Selling England by the Pound''◊.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_e6c88e42	comment	The album does get re-released periodically, largely because of the aforementioned issue of the band not owning the rights to it. Some re-pressings re titled the record In the Beginning, in yet another biblical pun. Most of the tracks, despite the record's Old Shame, appear on the Genesis Archives 1971-1975 box set (albeit in different arrangements without the widely disliked string section placed on the album as a result of Executive Meddling). It's set to be released again (on 180g vinyl, no less) by German label Repertoire Records in 2016.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_e6dea5bf	comment	Even during the Gabriel era, Collins sang lead on "For Absent Friends" (from Nursery Cryme) and "More Fool Me" (from Selling England by the Pound). His voice also dominates the mix of "Harlequin" (also from Nursery Cryme; may actually be a case of Self-Backing Vocalist), and he sings a few lines in "The Colony of Slippermen" (from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) to represent Rael's brother John. He also provides backing vocals on several other songs from the Gabriel albums and can be clearly heard once listeners have learned to distinguish his voice, particularly on headphones.

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_e91cc721	comment	In the Style of: In the 2007 interview on the DVD version of A Trick of the Tail, Phil Collins says that "Squonk" is basically Genesis doing "Kashmir". "Vindaloo" by Fat Les is in the same kind of style as Genesis doing "Match of the Day". "Driving the Last Spike" from We Can't Dance has some people wondering "what is this Gabriel-era song doing on their last-but-one album?". "Misunderstanding" is a The Beach Boys type song with a riff almost directly taken from Sly and the Family Stone's "Hot Fun in the Summertime" (and the lyrics are essentially a rewrite of The Beatles' "No Reply"), and "Hold On My Heart" is an attempt at imitating Burt Bacharachnote or, as in an interview on the DVD of The Way We Walk, Tony Banks' attempt at imitating Phil Collins. "I Can't Dance" was an attempt by Collins to match the singing style of Fine Young Cannibals lead singer Roland Gift. The historical drama of "Driving the Last Spike" doesn't really echo any Gabriel-era sounds or themes, except for maybe its longer length compared to other songs on We Can't Dance and a couple of time changes, but the song certainly wouldn't look out of place if it had appeared on 1978's ...And Then There Were Three.... On the other hand, the lengthy instrumental midsection of "Fading Lights" could be considered Genesis' re-imagining of their '70s symphonic prog sound for the '90s, though it still sounds somewhat less complex than much of the band's '70s material, owing mostly to its slower tempo. It even incorporates their '70s-era habit of reprising melodic material from an album's first song in its ultimate or penultimate track. For the song "Afterglow," composed by Tony Banks more or less in the time it took to play it, he recalls playing the song back for the first time and realising in horror that he had just re-written "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." (The melodies aren't exact, which he realised later, but they're still similar).

Genesis (Band) (Music) / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: On The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the protagonist Rael had previously been incarcerated at "Twenty-Second Street". There is no mental hospital at that location, nor was there ever one there. There used to be (probably still is) available online, an essay about "The Battle of Epping Forest" that has so many inaccuracies and false assumptions as to be unintentionally hilarious. In particular, the author failed to realise that if a song by an English group, about an event just outside London in England, has the lyric "not since the Civil War", it's almost certainly referencing the English Civil War, not the American one.
