I cannot see this ending particularly well.
Peter Gabriel was great in Genesis, but since then his solo work has been far less than stellar.

The Edge needs to stop using so many effects.

I personally hope Gabriel gets back with Genesis. After he left, it all went to hell.

Well, I guess it's probably a leftover 80's child syndrome of some sort.

Peter Gabriels' "Up" album from a few years ago= owns anything Geddy could ever create!fark, just the song "Darkness" off that album rapes his face with no remorse

You're a 'tard. Stop influencing the record industry with your purchaces.

I would much rather hear PG and the Edge creating new music together (two of the more creative influences in popular music in the last thirty years) than seeing a full-on Genesis reunion, rehashing songs that sound like they belong in a time capsule.

PG's post-Genesis work less than stellar? WTF? I can list four superb contributions of his:

-Peter Gabriel
-Peter Gabriel
-Peter Gabriel

and of course, the brilliant "Peter Gabriel"

(and I love "Us", but I am not a huge fan of "that one with Sledgehammer on it)

As for the Edge and his effects, I would argue that he elevated use of a delay pedal to an art form. Mastering of technology is not that different than mastering an instrument, is it?

Well, this may be true ...

since then his solo work has been far less than stellar.

... but WTF!? You are a completely brain dead, fully deaf, crazy person.

QFT.

This too.


Really, Gabriel's real talent exploded when he left Genesis. His solo work is incredible, at least up to So. After that, a little less inspiring, but still better than anything Genesis produced, ever.

/saw him live in London in 88 or so - one of the best concerts evar.

So, is the Edge finally getting sick of Pope Bono?

Or, has Peter Gabriel suffered from so much Bono-envy that he's fulfilled his evil plan of stealing Bono's guitarist?

"So" is one of the best releases of the 80s, easily. He has some of the most killer players anywhere on there, not the least of whom is one Tony Levin of King Crimson on bass and stick bass

here's something i only just discovered on youtube yesterday. i love it!
Peter Gabriel:
"Why Don't We" live in Cleveland 1977
Link (new window)

[bonus: cool slideshow of pics]

Why this was not included on his solo debut or any other PG album i have no idea, but I think it's really great. almost sounds like PG-era Genesis, excpet a little bit poppier [in the way that some of the tunes on his debut were rockier or poppier than w/ Genesis]


can anyone else hear tiny bits of "family snapshot" in some bridge or verse in there, in the chords / vocal delivery of it?

Third_Uncle_Eno: can anyone else hear tiny bits of "family snapshot" in some bridge or verse in there, in the chords / vocal delivery of it?

I definitely hear a little bit of it in there (first time around 1:30). Good find.

Also, I would like to nominate "Mercy Street" as the most underrated song of the 1980s, and not just because it inspired the song responsible for my login.

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2009-01-18 04:34:10 PM  
Grey Street

i freakin love "mercy street". it sent chills down my spine the first time i heard it. maybe even brought a tear to my eye.

It's already been established that you, and your mistaken opinions, suck. But I just wanted to get in on the action, too.

BOO, sir. BOO!

 
craigdamage 2009-01-18 05:36:45 PM  
What alarms me about Geddyhead is that he is somehow aware of Gabriel/Genesis but clueless to Gabriel's landmark first four solo records. "I","II","III" and "Security"

I would agree that "So" is maybe "less than stellar" but his soundtrack "Passion" is a total masterpiece.

Seconded. (Thirded?)

 
MikeyistheDevil 2009-01-18 07:33:09 PM  
I just came to say how brilliant PG's solo work is, but you guys got that covered.

Never cared for Genesis.

/or U2

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2009-01-18 10:49:09 PM  
anybody who likes PG's first four solo albums should check out Peter Hammill's solo output from about 1974-1981, especially his late 70's releases.

This- although it was Roger Waters I saw do DSotM and not Floyd. Still, between those two artists and their music, I'd say they are the two best shows I have seen.

There's always a lot of hub bub about Garbriel re-uniting with Genesis. But with all due respect to Genesis fans, I'd much rather listen to Peter's solo stuff.

 
shadowself 2009-01-19 09:07:41 PM  
"Hmmmm... Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, or The Edge. I think I'll go with The Edge!"

What is this, some kinda bizarro world?
