Peter Gabriel: Possibility of Genesis Reunion Is Slim | Music News | Rolling Stone
Sehr interessant finde ich folgende Statements bezüglich Genesis:
Is there part of you that thinks it might be fun to do a few Genesis concerts? Wouldn't it be a great way to end the band and bring your career full circle?
I did talk to those guys about it on this last round. And then it was growing into this bigger thing and I had all these other ideas that I wanted to do, and I just thought it was becoming . . . I could feel the suction of the black hole. I get on pretty well with everybody – it wasn't personal issues – I just didn't want to lose that sort of light-footedness that I enjoy now. And I don't know what the others would want to do. Phil [Collins] has had a lot of physical troubles recently, back problems that have restricted his drum playing, so there may be other reasons that would make it difficult now. So I assume we won't lose any sleep if we don't do more. You know, we had a great run. They did way better after I left anyway. So I don't know think anyone has anything to complain about.

So never say never?
I won't say never ever, but it's in the outside department of the betting shop.

Have you ever thought about singing Genesis songs at your solo shows like you used to do in the late 1970s?
I did actually. I was thinking about doing "Supper's Ready" for a while and I did talk to the band about it, but I think it was a lot of work for them and we were already on the road and I couldn't really raise much enthusiasm.
And then Phish – they do these projects where they take an old record and do it. I had a conversation about The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway with them at one point.
Wow. They wanted you to sing it with them?
Yeah. They were thinking about it. That didn't go anywhere, but those were the only times I sort of thought about it.
On your next solo tour, might you do some Genesis songs?
I haven't thought about it. Well, at one point I was thinking about doing "Carpet Crawlers" as a solo piano piece. There's no hard and fast rules, you know? If it feels good and it sounds good, why not?
