This is for Red13JoePa - From the front page:

From FMQB late last week....cool news for classic rock lovers:
"For years, Peter Gabriel has been the lone hold out in a potential Genesis reunion. But now, Gabriel tells Rolling Stone that a reunion may be imminent. "The odds [of a Genesis reunion] are better now than before," Gabriel said. "We're going to have the conversation."
Aside from a one-off concert in 1982, Gabriel has not stood on stage with the classic five-man lineup of Genesis since the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour ended in May of 1975. The band finally called it quits in 1998. "When we got back together in 1982, I don't think we rehearsed," Gabriel said. "To really do it properly, we'd have to take more time. It's quite a commitment."
Phil Collins recently expressed his desire to reunite the band at a Tel Aviv press conference. "I'm happy to sit behind the drums and let Peter [Gabriel] be the singer," Collins said. And just last month, guitarist Steve Hackett told the Chicago Sun-Times that he received a phone call from Genesis management. "There's a movement to put us all together again," he said. "I do think it will happen."

Mmmmm....I don't like the Phil as drummer exclusively thing that he threw out there. All my favorites songs are from his era as lv and all my favorite gabriel material's from his solo efforts.

Aside from early Journey, I'm not a big prog rock fan.

Dude, be serious. Fat Phil threw that out there, just to get the interest built up. What, is Peter going to sing, "Land of Confusion?" Of course they'll share mic duties.

I just don't get all the interest in this....

Yep, there's a sizable cult following of the Gabriel era, but the hits didn't follow until Chuck Brown took over the vox. It's those that are gonna make it a stadium/arena reunion.
Garbriel-fronted material only and you're looking at clubs and theaters.

Remember the "big cry" (as i'll call it) one he trotted out that day? :lol:

And, oh yea. They can play stadiums (1 night only prob.) next summer. I think they'd fill em.

No, I swear I didn't. It's easy enough to do a Google search for emoticons...
