If John Wetton was in Genesis?

[quote name='Conan' post='978363' date='Oct 5 2010, 02:13 PM']Totally agree! You can hardly tell that it's the same track! Horrible self-indulgent semi-soloing from Wetton that ruins the delicate ambience of one of my favourite Genesis tracks. Yuck! I was expecting him to start slapping!

I don't like it. [/quote]

+1. Spot on about ruining the ambience. Nice bass playing, but wrong song to do it in.

I liked "...and then there were three" too, great song writing, but was very disappointed by Duke and its successors.

Really dont like this, the original Genesis tracks were classics, completely ruined by the bass noodling, the guitar solo is what made that song.

I've heard quite a few comments about how [i]nice[/i] Phil Collins is! I wonder if, when you spoke to him in '83 or '84, he was promoting his own work, so took your comments on Brand X as a criticism of his solo stuff. I know from plenty of interviews that he loved Brand X.

Totally agree with this.

Love Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis.
Love Wettons bass playing (especially with King Crimson).
Do not love the combination of the two.

The studio album of the "Genesis Revisited" stuff is dire.

Blood On The Rooftops is a favourite here too.

It could have also been him thinking about the record company and how they ripped them off for all those albums. I might have touched a sore spot. I can give him the benefit of the doubt but it was crushing No hard feelings though, I'd still play with him if he called
