You're probably right.

Thanks.

Yeah, I have to admit, its pretty disappointing.  I wish I hadn't seen this thread yesterday to get my hopes up. 

i personally don't mind this actually, but i understand your disappointment for this. a reunion would've been cool.

It's why words like 'super' and 'extra-ordinary' are flung around so often.  Then again, 'Mildly Interesting Genesis News' isn't exactly going to shake your tree...

Yes, but they didn't have to try and create expectation saying that they would have exciting news the next day. They could just have given the news and be done with it. If you announce something like exciting news, and they don't end up being so, well they will end up dissapointing the people who's attention they wanted to atract. Now, about the news of the compilation itself, I would only find it interesting if they included the whole Dodo song and if they restored the original plan of doing the Duke suite (I guess it would be fairly easy to edit the songs in such a way). Perhaps throw in a few unreleased tracks and that's it.

Let's face they're just beating a dead horse. As for the compilation album, who cares? I sure don't. I already own their best albums and I don't need something compiled from someone sitting behind a desk telling me this is 'quintessential' Genesis. Let's all just applaud the band for their past successes and move along. You are probably right--BUT I think you could argue that if any super group could possibly still produce a great album it might be the original line-up or at least the Trick line up because Banks and Hackett in particular are still coming up with some great melodies.

It's not really a question of who is capable of coming up with new material, but rather if all members involved are on the same page and really want to start writing again, which, again, is very unlikely. The thing is, unlike some others of the dinosaurs who were left broke and can really use the profits of a reunion, both the Genesis Trio and Peter Gabriel have made a lot of money anyway (Hackett probably less but I guess he can still pay his bills), so the financial pressure for a reunion is not there in this case. What I really do not get is why the hell do you make a new logo for a compilation album?????? a compilation is a look at the past, it's completely stupid to label a compilation with a brand new logo

Gabriel has said many times the only thing he'd be sorta interested in doing is Lamb Live and possibly Supper's Ready, both pieces he's proud of and thinks about--- but Hackett has said a live show with Peter will never happen--and Banks has said many times Hackett would only be involved if Gabriel was involved---which pisses me off as the Seconds Out line up is just as interesting to me as the line up with Gabriel--and we all know Hackett would love to do it. So yeah, ---not going to happen.

Well, then at least there could be a joint tour of Hackett, Collins and Rutherford. Perhaps even Anthony Phillips
