What's your opinion on Phil Collins?

Roger Waters thinks that Phil Collins PRETENDS to be a songwriter!? Well, he pretends pretty well to me. 😂

Say what you want about Phil Collins but the man collected and amassed a huge and priceless collection of Alamo memorabilia and rare historical artifacts which he freely donated to the Alamo museum in San Antonio Texas. For this gesture and his devotion and interest in Texas history, Native Texans salute him and concider him a true Honorary Texan 🤠👍!!!!

I like Phil Collins music. In the air tonight never gets old.

lol…it’s funny how Kurt Cobain always had plenty of shade to throw at bands or musicians that outsold him or easily outlived his band.

I'm sure he is laughing all the way to the bank.

Roger Waters....Noel Gallagher....Curt Cobain....Jimmy (the sloppiest guitarist to ever play) Page?? THESE people hate Phil Collins??? Why, because he was encouraged by Hugh Padgham to release Face Value, music that Phil never really had a plan for. Or because hes one of the finest Prog Rock drummers to ever sit on a drum throne?? Because he had great success, even though he's stated on numerous occasions that when he started drumming he figured he'd be playing Big Band music in small clubs for a living. Ask Leland Sklar what HE thinks of Phil Collins...."hate" will never come into the conversation. However, "he's one of the most talented people Ive ever met, and I love the guy" WILL be mentioned for sure....and Leland has played on a couple thousand albums, so he's been involved with talent (or people who were quite full of themselves, but not necessarily talented).

Geeze. Live and let live. Stop being jealous and wish people well.

And where is Cobain and Gallagher now? Keep shining Phil Collins!

For those who hate Phil Collins, take a look at him now.

Phil Collins was a remarkable drummer and an incredible songwriter and singer. Seems as though his peers were jealous of his success. Most of these shots at Collins are pretty childish.

Phil Collins was a drummer for the band BrandX on the Album Marocan Roll. Those who say he's not a good drummer or something like that 🙄🤔 better listen the Album. Maybe indeed after listening, you'll understand why people say he's faking being a popstar. It's a musical Genius.

Wow, I'm surprised people are hating on Collin's. I always liked his tunes. Nothing to go out and get the album but nothing to hate.

As much as I love Pink Floyd, I always love people taking shots at Roger Waters :)

I think Christian Bale needs to sit these artists down and give a nice monologue about why he loves Phil Collins 🤣

he once came in our coffee shop in Richmond, lovely feller. He had the Lemon drizzle cake and a Coffee, he paid up, sat quietly and made no fuss. Just got on with his snack and read his book. If all our customers were as civilized and well behaved, chance would be a fine thing. An absolute picture in the paddock, he was well turned out in Sky blue shirt, off white cargo pants with semi-elasticated waist and navy blue and white nautical deck shoes and may I say, he had the scent of a true rock legend.

First! And they are full of crap and ego. Phil Collins is a fantastic artist and human being. You couldn't find anything worth posting LOL!

Musicians who got along with Phil 1) David Gilmour (they appeared on the BBC show Pop Quiz in 1981 and David’s team won but Phil respected David after David got a Motown lyric correct and then the two were photographed together at Live Aid and jammed together a few times and David called Phil a decent man and Phil called David a lovely person) 2) Pete Townshend (they got along great and played together countless times) 3) Robert Plant (Phil helped Robert with his solo career)

I'd love to hear Noel "Flash-in-the-pan" Gallagher sing even one Genesis song. Hey, Noel, let's hear you list off your hit singles... lessee... there's Wonderwall... and.. um... wait, didn't they sing "When Soul Meets Body"? No? Death cab for who? ok, well, at least you got wonderwall, there, mate. Now go away for another 30 years...

Still one of the best drummers ever. John Wetton said he was the best he'd ever played with. Led Zeppelin were terrible at Live Aid and it wasn't Collins' fault. Listen to his duets with Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson or check out Brand X.

No reason for the hatred. Talented musician and drummer, writer, singer, and performer. Personal taste is subjective, no reason to hate.

Never understood the vitriol aimed at Phil Collins. He always seemed to me a friendly down to earth bloke. 😊Love his music

The younger Collins was one helluva drummer with early Genesis. When Gabriel left, Genesis became a pop band and made a ton of money. I can’t hate Phil for that, but Genesis with Gabriel was a much better band.

Love Phil forever. Past, present, future. Remarkable musician, remarkable man.

I have some friend who met Phil in real life in Switzerland and they said he is a very good guy. Very humble, speaking to anybody he met dans la vie de tous les jours.

Leave Phil Collins alone!! He's still terrific in my book. I'm also surprised Sir Paul dislikes him.

Phil is awesome and has lived his live and career to the fullest. He played drums for Brand X. If you don’t know who they are then you really don’t know the most technically and talented band in the world. Percy Sledge the greatest guitar next to Eddie Van Halen. As good as him for sure. Phil is a drumming master. He could also act and write some good music. He lived to retire sitting in a chair as he sang his last performance. He’s an old man now with a great legacy. His music will live till the end of time on earth.

I love him. Always have, always will. As a rock musician, soft rock, whatever you call it, Phil is the man!

I don’t like much of his solo music and I don’t like much of the later Genesis music after 1981. I absolutely love his work with early Genesis and Brand X, but as a solo artist he has brought joy to many millions world wide so who that’s a wonderful thing in its self, and his WAS a fantastic drummer.

Page was fucked up and sloppy at Live Aid and blamed it on Phil. Everybody saw through that.

I love Phil Collins he is a terrific artist and is very talented I love his music voice @ drumming. He should be added to the music hall of fame.

A big fan of his music but I kind of lost respect for him the way he just literally dumped the beautiful Dana Tyler ( to go back with his ex- wife) As I understand it Dana was totally blindsided and had to take a few months off to recover - I’m from the New York area and grew up watching her on ABC and CBS news 👍 What A Classy Lady❤

I am 67 yrs old and have seen so many artist in concert. I saw Paul Mc Cartney, Oasis and many many more. I also saw Genesis several times and Phil Collins solo. Let me tell you. No one, really no one comes close to Phil Collins in live concerts. This man is phenomenal and very versatile. I don't know Phil Collins personally. And I don't know if the artist mentioned really hate him. I know Noel Gallagher of Oasis once said he hates Phil Collins. I don't know why. But I think that if artists really hate Phil Collins, it's pure jealousy. Jealous of his unprecedented talent, his enormous music skills and his great and long career. And that for a man who has always remained himself and kept his feet on the ground.

All this cat fighting. Collins is a great songwriter, vocalist & musician. Just because someone doesn't do the same music you do doesn't make them any less. People just need to respect each other's musical style & approach.

Phil was a really good and tight drummer. His work with Eno and Brand X were superior. When Genesis let him sing I think it swelled his head... thus the slow descent of his original craft. One must remember, also, Gabrial created the gating and no-symbol drum kit. Sussudio? (excuse me while I puke.) Peace on earth.

Great drummer! I have a DVD of him and Clapton in concert and it's killer! He can play with anyone. Or at least he could.

A lot of jealous mediocre musicians like Kurt Cobain and nazi symphaizer Roger Waters. Collins was a world-class drummer and entertainer. His music has aged well and will endure.

The best thing Cobain did for us was turn his own lights out.. Three chord king

Phil Collins has done more than enough to prove himself worthy as a musician/singer songwriter and unlike a few musicians. Phil can act.

Trey Parker should’ve made this list too. I mean he is an Academy award nominated musician for his song blame Canada on the South Park soundtrack and he has never been shy about expressing how angry he is that he lost to Phil Collins.

Phil Collins made it against all odds

Singer Phil Collins is STILL ALIVE....HE IS 73....singer Kurt Cobain died by SUICIDE IN 1994....therefore, when someone leaves a comment, please make sure your comments are correct & factual....

Phil met Paul long before 2002, one example: he played drums on a track of McCartney's 1986 Press to Play record.

You can tell Phil Collins didn't want to do something that The people that run the music industry wanted him to do And that's why people are making up stories now Of why they don't like him.... Think about it when the last time you've seen Phil Collins?? ..... You can't black ball Someone that already made you a lot of money and gave you a lot of great music. That's what happens in Hollywood They tell you to do something Weird You don't want to do it and then they blackball you. The only difference is he's not from America. So his music lives on through the rest of the world if you peep the video.

Collins was a prodigy who took over the music world effortlessly. A veritable Karen Carpenter. He is one smooth ass smoothie.

Why do they feel that way? Is that because of he has been one of the best and charismatic musicians ever…

I've met musicians who have interacted with Paul McCartney and they had nothing but great things to say about him, really.

I had quite hard times learning "Against all odds" on the piano. Beautiful but complex chords. On the other hand, "Wanderwall" on a guitar was on 2nd take. I prefer the former filling up the space.

What I love about Phil Collins is he admits even he got overloaded with “Phil Collins” by the early 90’s😂

But... Does Roger Waters like anybody besides Roger Waters?

Lets see, Kurt, a man so unfortunately miserable he couldn't live with himself and Roger Waters, a man so miserable his band mates couldn't live with him, have low opinions of Phil Collins? I dont hold either opinion in much esteem. Phil, one of the few people to sell 100M albums as a solo act and 100M albums in a band doesn't need their, or my approval. Listen to the drumming on Apocalypse 9/8 or Squonk. Listen to the song writing on I Dont Care or the Tarzan soundtrack. It literally speaks for itself.

I'm a 90s kid and a huge fan of the alternative scene, Kurt Cobain, and Oasis era, but I find it funny that people are obsessed with them. I'm glad Phil Collins was just being quiet.

I love Phil Collins, but this video reminds me of the South Park episode where he's made fun of for winning Tarzan the best original song Oscar over South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut

People can have their own personal tastes, but people who can't see the talent of Phil Collins are clueless. Between 1975 and 2000 the man never stopped writing music. He is an unbelievable drummer and singer. He can sing a ballad as well as anybody and also scream and shout as good as anybody. Good artists don't need to attack under artists.

If Phil Collins wouldn't rehearse with Led Zep before Live Aid then Page and Plant should have had a replacement lined up and told Collins to take a hike.

Personally, I don't think Phil deserves all the hate. He hasn't done anything wrong to anybody. He's still one of the greatest of all time 👌🏻

I don't understand Page complaining about any of the drummers there that night.. I saw the performance interestingly today.. Couldn't get to the end listening Plant's problems with his singing.. And that's a member of that band, one that, as they said, rehearsed..

I'll never forget Nirvana Unplugged being my first CD in my Stocking on Christmas morning. I played it all year until today!

You won't find musicians any more overrated and bitter than Cobain and the Gallaghers, and has Roger Waters ever said a kind word about anyone, ever? Page is just pissed off that he fucked up the gig himself, and Collins was a convenient scapegoat. As for McCartney, maybe on this one occasion Phil should have kept his own counsel! Let's face it, Collins has more talent in his big toe than 99% of all the other rock musicians put together. Genesis has been the soundtrack to my life - rock on Phil!

I predicted at the time of the 'battle' between oasis and blur that oasis would go away because, although I was not a fan of blur, it was obvious that Damon had original writing talent unlike Liam. Phil was such an icon. A stocky, not so pretty drummer pushed into fronting a band. If not for Phil, all electronic music would sound different. Those iconic 80's drum sounds? I didn't like everything he made but when I think of how many I do, well...

When Keith Moon died, Collins asked Townshend if he could drum for The Who. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Seen him 5 times from '87 to '07. Never gave a bad performance. And if you're quoting a raging anti-semite, who is universally shunned by everyone he has ever worked with; you may be looking in the wrong places for good judges of character.

I've never had a problem with him, maybe the criticism of how he kicked off "Rock & Roll" was valid as it's one of my pet peeves. The punters should be able to identify the song by the drummer's intro just holding the beat isn't enough. I'm an amateur musician in my seventies and remember the feeling that I got when I first played with a drummer, man what a blast it was wonderful.

Phil Collins, like him hate him? Awesome with the (Real) Genesis lineup. (Pop) Genesis was okay. Phil Collins solo music towards the end of his career I was not to found of, but it was tolerable. Phil Collins has had a good run and I am sure he is making out well on his roayalties. I only wish that when they had the Final Genesis Tour that Peter Gaberial and Steve Hackett would have joined up with them. Rogers Waters should talk, at least Phil Collins pumps out music, even if it is for Disney. How abut you Roger? Oasis or the Gallagher brothers, they are just nursery rhymes meant to played on teeny booper stations.

The only time I saw phil live was with plant on his first tour and he was great

You do not hate Phil Collins! You need to hate Sheryl Crow

How did that work out for Cobain? He hated other artists so much he blew his brains out!

Well he did turn a 70s progressive, creative and unique sounding band into a middle of the road, adult orientated, dad music, soft pop band of the 80s. I'm sure he earned a shed load of dosh, so not all bad then.

Paul McCartney held a grudge against Collins for more than 20 years

Phil Collins is one of only three artists to ever sell 100 million albums as a solo artist and part of a group. When you combine his solo work and work with Genesis, he had 51 US top 40 hits and eight number one hits (seven solo US number ones and Invisible Touch being Genesis’ only US number one hit).

If you hate Phil Collins, you also hate puppies.

If there is a doubt about Phil Collins talent listen to Genesis Trick Of The Tail. As a drummer listen to any Genesis album from 1975 and back. Really Phil shows talent today. Yes he did go commercial but no he never sold out listen every last Genesis album and you will find some prog rock. I won't go as far to say he is as talented as Peter Gabriel but not many people are including those who slammed Collins who are not even as talented as he is .

The funny thing is, Kurt looks like Phil.

I don't like him or his music. But there are a lot of people that do, and a lot of other acts that I like. It's called a matter of taste, not good or bad taste, just different. It doesn't bother me that people like him anymore than it should bother people that I don't like him.

Genesis were incredible; probably my favourite band of all time, and Collins is among the very best rock fusion drummers. I never took to Phil's solo music though. As much as I also love Pink Floyd, Waters can be a bit of a mouthy gobshite at times. I wouldn't expect the likes of Cobain or Gallagher to be complimentary about Collins. They operated in a very different world.

probably one on the best voices ever

He had some good work with Genesis, although he was no Peter Gabriel. As a producer every artist he touched ended up sounding like Phil Collins. Absolute disaster.

dont have my glasses, Read 'Mexicans who cant stand phil collins'

Nothing clever ever passed through Kurt Cobain's head

What a ridiculous article , they are probably jealous of his success.

Maybe anyone that hates Phil, doesn't have much Talent 😮

The title of this video is a little misleading. Page's comments feel more like they were about everything that went wrong with Live Aid, of which Collins was a part of that experience, not so much a direct shot at Phil or his abilities. Everyone else just seemed like they were expressing personal opinions of the man and/or his music, which they are entitled to. Not everybody is required to like everybody else just because they are in the same profession.

Well, Kurt. Pardon me if i take YOUR opinion with a grain of salt. The real talent in Nirvana didn't kill himself and went on to form a much superior band called Foo Fighters. Also, I have every Phil Collins and Genesis album (among the hundreds and hundreds of groups in my collection) and no Nirvana music. I listened to Nirvana and thought it was overrated and sucked.

Collins and Oasis summed each other up accurately

I like him even though I met him once. Nice guy as well as a great performer. Most celebrities met were nice, only a few exceptions.

Poor Phil , the most misunderstood man in rock and roll

Well, to be fair, don’t the Gallagher brothers hate everyone? It’s just an observation… they get along with others like oil and water. 😅

For the record I think nirvana are complete crap and cannot name a single track of their work.

"I've got 2 ears and a heart don't i?" Jack Donnaghey

that background music is far too loud!!!

wow, this is brutal lol. and undeserved, IMHO. phil collins brought RnB to rock in a way nobody has (one more night, etc). not to mention his drum production waa obviously on the cutting edge of those times

Sussudio is basically a hate crime

Stop with the egos, there's plenty of fans to go around.

And all of those are nowhere near as talented as him, what a coincidence

Rebellious? Cobain's remarks were beyond juvenile. Gallagher's comments only show how shallow and envious he was. He couldn't be less irrelevant or more pathetic.

Phil was great in early Genesis

I love Phil Collins because his music is (almost) always upbeat and positive.

Hmm. Yet everything I've ever heard from people who met Paul McCartney has been great. Maybe Collins shouldn't have asked for an autograph when McCartney was already in a stressful situation. But I guess we all have bad days.

Enjoyed Genesis and Phil until the early 80's where they deluged the world with tepid pop song after tepid pop song.

Kurt Cobain didn't even like himself.
