In the nonsense about Duran Duran liking Peter Gabriel (Probably a publicity
stunt to irritate Gabriel fans and impress teenie boppers.) it was mentioned
that Gabriel joined Genesis. He didn't. He was in the band at it's formation
in about 1968 and left after "The Lamb.." in 1976. The most interesting
Genesis is from this period. After he left Phil Collins slowly dominated
the band at fisrt sounding exactly like Gabriel then slowly moving
the band toward his current style. The best post Gabriel Genesis is
"Wind and Withering" and "Duke" is not too bad. I think Collins
is a good drummer and should stick to drumming. (I don't like what
has become of Geneis.)
Any comments on "Baby Appel" by the Chili Peppers? Anyone heard of them
yet? They might be described as a "funky blues, punk band". They are
recently from LA. Good stuff!
There seems to be a couple of other bands out of LA that are mixing
blues, funk, reggae and punk rock. The Untouchables, Fishbone...
