Phil Collins demonstrates why he’s a legend in 25 minutes.

Excellent interview!

[saifhasan]

Let me summarise this man, One of my all time favourite artists in the world. True legend

[HZIEI]

This man the goat. He defined the 80s imo

[biboun]

I saw Phil, I put a like. And now, just watching and listening one of the biggest artist in the world. Thanks for your live in Paris 🙌

[elMaxx]

He always used it so well...."as a precussionist." Hypnotic.

[nightshift]

I get a kick hearing him talk about these machines in such detail and with such enthusiasm. Always inspires me to write more demos.

[oksanasusenko]

It's hard to find interviews with him going into details about music like this.

[rkgator]

Although he resisted, this man is creative and big enough to see the possibilities of using a drum machine and not be "threatened". He used both, live drums and the drum machine together. Collins was a creative force, unafraid to experiment, partly because of his work with Genesis and Brand X. Phil was never 'stuck'. He was the leader! A truly complex and deep individual.

[disebeats]

Great insight Phil..great to hear the stories behind the making of some of your works, a real gentleman and a true talent with an amazing body of work...did I miss again is still my fave track..funky as hell and great horns

[mrsappletree]

Very interesting! I could listen to him for ages!

[heathergundry]

We love you Phil Collins. I am watching Buster and you are so talented. Xo💋

[RockinRockinChair]

I love to hear an artist discuss his method(s)!

[sisterearthful]

I remember one of Phil C. songs that was always playing when I was in training at JFK.

[KyoKusanagi-epkp]

He makes a fantastic point about how rhythmic, hypnotic and melodic his drum machine parts were, totally different to the stiff rep the instrument had due to the Kraftwerk stuff.

His pioneering of the gated reverb drum sound, his use of the Roland drum machines, his fusion of ambient synth sounds with horns… Phil Collins is the unacknowledged godfather of pop music.

[vinto]

Great interview...interesting hearing phil's thoughts and recollection of these iconic drum machines.

[notoriousc.i.d.]

he has to have his own movie about his life and A true story as a drummer and a singer

[kerrygordon]

Amazing artist with a great memory for details... can't wait for new stuff

[SPAZZOID]

Very detailed and informative, even though i knew about nearly all his uses of the 78 & 808. A shame more of this interview did not make it into the film.

[Lynneheal]

Thank you for sharing Phil Collins is a very talented musician .

[keykrazy]

Damn Phil, you had me googling for 10 minutes trying to find the 808 used on the Abacab album, lol !!

Turns out it runs all through "Man on the Corner". I had always just assumed it was the CR-78.
