Just give him the money...

He's got the closest thing to a relationship with the God-unit that I've ever seen.

Don't give up...dont' give up...don't give up......

Bleh. Sorry, submitter, it doesn't say anywhere in the article how much he plans to charge people--he only mentions another band's charging $100 per person to watch them record several tracks in order to defraying the cost of recording them.

For the record (pardon the pun), I would happily pay $100 (and would sit very quietly) to see Peter Gabriel do his thing.

Nice try submitter; Gabriel has always been a true musician, an innovator and a class act. He makes complete albums, not crappy top 40 hits, and he has never sold out. So you can go back to your Nickleback MP3's now.

Yeah, Gabriel's always been about the money. Not a decade passes without him releasing a new album.

Not pleased... considers... upcoming... session... intimate... charge hundreds... "opportunity" to watch... nod out on meds...

Thought there might be fragments of reality in that headline; that's the best I could do

stonehenj: Gabriel has always been a true musician, an innovator and a class act. He makes complete albums, not crappy top 40 hits, and he has never sold out.

Sure does like to take his time about things, though.

And as long as he's inviting folks over to his studio, perhaps he'd care to pop by a certain farm in Surrey as well.

I think Peter does put on one song to hit on each CD. I do love the idea though of getting some new stuff from him. This is good news really.

Here he's not "innovator" but "copycat." NTTAWWT

And, I once paid a bit less than $100 to watch Todd Rundgren record his record "Second Wind." Sat in the audience at a theater in San Francisco and he told us that we should not applaud after the song, and they might play it many times to get it right. I understood completely, but there were always some jackasses that started clapping after each tune finished, and after he reminded us a half-dozen times I think he was getting a bit fed up.

Check out PG's song over the closing credits of WALL-E. Great track.

I'd pay $500 to watch him in the studio, but unfortunately I live on a different continent.

Pass the hat and get some UK farker to sit in the back and yell "Supper's Ready!" just to be obnoxious.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.


/i have that concert/bootleg *some*where....

I saw Peter Gabriel live, at the Skydome in Toronto in the early 90's. I stood in line a long time and paid over $60 for my 5th row ticket, and I was BITTERLY BITTER about the price - that was by far the most expensive concert I had ever heard of.

So, yes, Peter Gabriel was and is an innovator - on the leading edge of high prices. . .

however, it was also the best value for a concert that I have ever experienced, and I've probably been to close to 1000 concerts in my life (I know, get of my lawn etc.)

/haven't paid more than $20 for a concert in the last 10 years - prefer the low key club shows now with bands that actually work for it, and fans that appreciate it.

So he takes his time. At the rate Peter moves, I'll easily have enough set aside to take my whole family to that big Genesis reunion tour in 2009...or 2011...maybe 2014...

/where's my walker?

I love Peter Gabriel and truly welcome any talk of a new tracks. What a great voice!

Meds? What meds, Subby?

He's a vegetarian, a practitioner of yoga, and seems to think that goatee suits him (I don't)....no meds have ever been mentioned before.
The guy has nerves of steel to mix things as densely and delicately as "Whole Thing", which I consider his best song in years....right up there with "Growing Up" and "Sky Blue"...

And he liked one of my songs :)
