I spoke to Bill for a bit after an ABWH show. He was very nice and personable. He had nothing bad to say about any of the music he performed over the years (I mentioned Yes, KC, Genesis, UK, and a few others). It may have loosened him up that I asked him to sign an Earthworks cover.

^ Maybe he doesn't trust new material to compare in quality ? He could test new things under an unknown band name and "officialize" if it works... There are ways to add new repertoire without risking too much... but maybe he's just so happy playing on ! For sure concerts with his current band look very good, even if it's well-known stuff

I certainly can't answer to their lives as I'm but a humble man who lives a humble life.
I can tell you this, I have met and spoken at length with Carl twice in my lifetime, once during the soundcheck prior to the first ever concert Asia did in London Ont. and then several years later at a drum clinic he put on in the Toronto area. Both times he was every bit the gentleman you would expect by looking at him. Courteous, engaging and interested in my opinions. I have no direct comparison for Bill or Phil. I'm glad he still puts on quality shows for fans around the world. I do wish he would do another original project, but it seems unlikely at this time. |

I just feel bad for him having to deal with his condition.

Great photos...A first line witness of Great Times you are !! Do you also mean, not only in their prime, but all their lives throughout ?...
Let's not forget family challenges: his kids made no name in the showbiz, so what if he turns out to be the only admired semi-god, who can enjoy fun in famous bands, in the family ? It creates a sense of deep unfairness, so maybe better for him to get rid of all those magic glorious showbiz things and focus on getting along with his family ?...

I had a hard time with it as well, and I'm not sure why he can not say something nice about the music he did in his life, and has completely left it to waste. It's like he was not a part of Fragile, or Close to the Edge, or anything that KC did ... like his own sound and drumming was not existent ... and I simply do not see that at all ... I kept thinking that someone that could help him come off more positive would be nice to make the book more interesting and better. But there are some bits that are crazy ... like the small video where he shows you the "same thing", but on two different places, and they sound so different that you never realized that it helped a song ... and it was exactly the same thing on two places. I think he was saying that too much drumming is just cheating, and not about the music itself, and on this part I would agree with him.

Between Collins, Bruford and Palmer: who promotes the best life as a pop/prog musician ?
(Knowing that C.P. is also on duty as a bouncer , as we can see here )

just think of poor and brave sax player Barbara Thompson who suffers from Parkinson's disease. she has to be strapped into a chair to prevent her from falling out of it, and still she plays on

Hi, I'm not sure that Christian Vander will stop playing before he breaks one more bass drum petal or gets the bass drum flying off the floor again ... !!!

Ok, let's talk Carl for a moment. He just turned 68 and he
is in incredible shape. He tours more than any other Prog Dinosaur and is still
a solid player. Granted he doesn't have the speed he had in the 70's (who
does?) but he plays with guys half his age and never falls behind. |

^ I just saw Steve a few weeks ago, and indeed it was wonderful. Specially the second set, pure Genesis magic. I only wish he had played the whole Shadow of the Hierophant and Cinema Show.

Let’s not forget his old bandmate
Steve Hackett, who turned 67 last year and is still recording and touring, and
still hale and hearty. His concert in my
area last year was the concert of the year. Okay, it was the only one I attended, but
still…
I couldn’t help comparing him to a neighbor of mine who’s the same age and ridden with health issues, largely due a lifelong smoking habit. |

Generation X has been spoiled by many great drummers: Bruford, Copeland, Peart, Chambers, White, Harrison, etc. But we still got Portnoy! (; |

I think he's just cynical, to be honest. Comes off kind of elitist, but the dude can play a beat or two.
