This thread is in danger of overtaking "Make a song title more reasonable" as the worst.

Phil Collins spent millions on fake Alamo relics

I'd like to think this was some sort of crazy divorce tactic. Like, "you want my money? All right, you can have it...as shitty fake Alamo souvenirs!"

"These artifacts were found...in the basement."

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 19:26 (four years ago)

Hahahaha…there’s no basement in the alamo! Hahahaa

calstars, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 19:46 (four years ago)

Virtually the only thing I know about the alamo is that there's no basement. Phil's obsession is rather unusual for a brit.

Believe me, grow a lemon tree. (ledge), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 20:14 (four years ago)

His playing on Tears for Fears' "Woman in Chains" is so subtle and great. He has such a great grasp of groove.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 4 August 2021 22:04 (four years ago)

The only thing I know about the Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne peed on it.

Dexter Holland's Opus (Deflatormouse), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 23:36 (four years ago)

We need a Behind The Candleabra but with Phil Collins in his prime, framed by this Alamo story.

Rename thread to Defund Phil Collins.

Dan Worsley, Friday, 6 August 2021 10:14 (four years ago)

Phil Collins' split from his third wife has landed him at the top of the list for the biggest divorce payout by a British celebrity in legal history, according to the U.K.'s Mirror. Collins, 57, reportedly paid Orianne Cevey, 35, $46.68 million, topping the Heather Mills-Paul McCartney divorce by $1 million.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 August 2021 12:40 (four years ago)

Sweet

Ori, Please Lose My Number

Jude Law with prosthetics could win an Oscar as Phil.

Colin Hay as Phil Collin(s)

making splashes at Dan Flashes (Neanderthal), Friday, 6 August 2021 14:16 (four years ago)

At this point, Jim Broadbent could be Phil Collins.

birdistheword, Friday, 6 August 2021 14:25 (four years ago)

lol otm

making splashes at Dan Flashes (Neanderthal), Friday, 6 August 2021 14:28 (four years ago)

At this point Phil Collen from Def Leppard could play Phil Collins, but only from the neck up. The rest should be mo-cap Andy Serkis.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 August 2021 15:11 (four years ago)

Phil Collins even turned up in Miami Vice to play game show host/con man Phil “The Shill” Mayhew, who moved to Miami from London and quickly set about depleting the bank accounts of the city’s richest residents with a shady drug deal. pic.twitter.com/3C4ZsMs43l

Come and witness the sad passing of time

doug watson, Friday, 10 September 2021 10:04 (four years ago)

He seems so very old.

"the fancy things" being his nads, etc (stevie), Friday, 10 September 2021 10:12 (four years ago)

Just know that when he passes, people who never would even mention him will then be saying "he played on Taking Tiger Mountain etc" in large numbers

PaulTMA, Friday, 10 September 2021 10:52 (four years ago)

Oh man, his voice is sounding pretty pinched and weak, I wonder if he's on a lot of pain meds.

Maresn3st, Friday, 10 September 2021 11:23 (four years ago)

Give him one more night

calstars, Friday, 10 September 2021 11:25 (four years ago)

Probably better to replace him with a hologram of fully-haired 1970s Phil.

Siegbran, Friday, 10 September 2021 11:33 (four years ago)

“Fully haired”

calstars, Friday, 10 September 2021 11:50 (four years ago)

Fully bearded, maybe.

That clip is sad for lots of reasons, not least that the tour hasn't even started yet. So yeah, he looks and sounds pretty weak ... and those are clips from the *rehearsal*, which means extra breaks, re-dos, etc. But the whole thing seems kind of sad and joyless. In that brief interview Mike sort of mumbles that this feels like a "nice time to do it." During a pandemic? With your drummer/singer weakened and incapacitated? Sure, Mike. Nice. The only nice thing about Genesis in 2021 is that they all do seem to have remained on good terms, even the ex-members, to an extent. Other than that, sorry, no.

Back when my buddy heard the band was reunited he got really excited and asked if I wanted to get tickets. I told him how terrible it feels to see a beloved band so far past its prime that you wish you could take back the new memory and return to the more positive old memories. I showed him a clip of Phil on his short tour in I think 2018, and he looked and sounded ... not great. And that was almost four years ago.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 10 September 2021 12:21 (four years ago)

Yeah, the idea of a Genesis concert being anything but unwatchably sad seems... against all odds

Richard Marxist (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 10 September 2021 12:58 (four years ago)

I'd watch something like a Storytellers or Unplugged thingy though

Richard Marxist (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 10 September 2021 12:59 (four years ago)

They should all retire to a (second) home by the sea.
