"Genesis is one of the most revered bands of all time. The PETER GABRIEL-led Genesis. Fans wax rhapsodic about "Selling England By The Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" in a way you can’t get ANYBODY to testify about the band’s hit-laden eighties records. It took Peter Gabriel a while to eclipse the work he did with his former mates, commercially anyway, but with his 1986 album "So", which included the iconic hit and breakthrough video "Sledgehammer", Peter became a household word. Not that Genesis slacked, the Phil Collins-led outfit immediately released the surprisingly good "Trick Of The Tail" and then went on to have the aforementioned hits. It’s time for a REUNION, wouldn’t you think? There’s been a constant buzz online. Genesis has laid fallow, Gabriel’s last album was substandard. It’s time to get the old boys together and rape and pillage! But that’s not what’s happening. Genesis is going out alone."Rumor has it that Gabriel just won’t commit. He’s not ready yet. And that might be true, but the real story is Michael Cohl ran the numbers and he found out NOBODY WANTED TO SEE THE OLD GENESIS!
"You know Cohl. He’s the guy who guarantees a zillion dollars to the biggest acts in the world. They then go on to play arenas, with Cohl skimming a profit on top of his almost guaranteed sell-out numbers. This is how he does it with the Rolling Stones. U2. Even Barbra Streisand. Peter Gabriel-led Genesis is in that league, RIGHT?
"Wrong."
