I Hate Phil Collins

[Jon]

He's actually not a bad vocalist either and sang really well with Genesis, even if their song-writing altered in a way that I didn't like as time went on.  He was an incredible drummer and still seems fairly competent.  I know your list was a bit tongue in cheek but...

1. Hmmm, didn't help Led Zeppelin's creaky performance I'll admit, although I think it would have been rather suspect without Phil messing bits up.

3. Surely Phil alone cannot be held responsible for the whole of Miami Vice?

7 (a) Apparently not true, although documentation about access to his children was apparently faxed by his solicitor - not unreasonable I'd say.
7 (b) err...wasn't that Chris de Burgh?

Allow me to retort. 

1. Hmmm, didn't help Led Zeppelin's creaky performance I'll admit, although I think it would have been rather suspect without Phil messing bits up.

Wasn't really a comment on his playing at all, more that it takes a special type of do-gooding "Aren't I great" smugness to even contemplate playing at both gigs.

3. Surely Phil alone cannot be held responsible for the whole of Miami Vice?

No, again it was just a comment on how awful he personally was when he was in it. MK has managed to retain his dignity by sticking to the music, how sad that the likes of Collins, Sting and Daltrey have failed to do the same. Kris Kristoffersson is the exception that proves the rule. 

7 (a) Apparently not true, although documentation about access to his children was apparently faxed by his solicitor - not unreasonable I'd say.
7 (b) err...wasn't that Chris de Burgh?

He admits here:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/01/12/PK170067.DTL

that he faxed her, albeit after she repeatedly slammed the phone down on him.

And yes, it was Chris de Burgh who shagged his kids nanny, I must apologise and set the record straight.

Phil Collins DID NOT shag his kids' nanny.

He actually shagged his kids' interpreter.

This thread and the one about Clapton do not do v much for this site's reputation imo. Free speech is great, but let's not misuse it by posting what at at best is inane, and at worse offensive.

Glad to get that off my chest. Thank you.

Excuse me if I misunderstood but to me this one about Collins is just a joke whereas the other one 'bout Clapton sound serious.

[Pottel]

mmm, ds1984, i don't really like him either, so i guess no, this is only slightly meant as a joke :-)

[dustyvalentino]

Yeah, I genuinely don't like Phil Collins, but the list IS tongue in cheek, I'm sure I speak for Millionaire Blues when I say that we genuinely don't wish any harm to come to either Phil or Eric, but that we just don't appreciate them as artists for whatever reason and we are just having a bit of fun with these threads.

It's not like we said we don't like Jews/Mormons/Belgians etc.

[IrisRose]

I LOVE the word "shagged"   It sounds so much cooler than f--ked.   

[Pottel]

belgians suck

[Pottel]

where is the youtube button??

[shangri la 1]

Just above this smiley face  above the text box, and below B in the top row.

[Pottel]

not for me it isn't
i got insert image there...it was thereuntil a certain post of mine yesterday, and the next it was gone...

[ds1984]

Hum my correct understanding of English seem to have reached its limits.

After all maybe it is because I am a froggy

To end on a positive note I attended one show from Genesis reunion tour and from a "non fan" point of view it was a great show to listen.
And remembering Phil Collins playing drums behind BB King and friends with Eric Clapton in 87 is one of my all time fave musical moments

Enjoy!

 


PS : will there somebody here to start a thread "I hate BB King"?

[Pottel]

p.s. nope

Hi people, I don

[localhero1986]

I can't stand Bob Dylan and Roger Waters but feel I am alone with that opinion. I want to start a thread about them, too  

Well here another one. I play in a band and we do some BD covers but in my opinion, we could skip these. It's no real fun to play, or listen to it. Worst thing about BD is the fan base: if you say a or any BD song doesn't move you, your "musical taste is worthless" because "he is the one". Actually, he's doing the same thing over and over again for years and he seems to be very good at selling the same thing over and over again (which is in my opinion his only strong point). From my point of view, his music is only created around HIM because HE feels like HE is The Best. That's one of the reasons why I can't stand listening to his music for more than 5 minutes...

Who wanted to start a thread about James Blunt? I'll post there too, I really have to go to the loo when I hear that annoying nervous voice of him. AAAAARGH! Btw, please don't put me in a room with AC/DC on all day long...

[Pottel]

well local hero,..he IS the one
