I fee sorry that he pretty much lost his hearing.

I just saw Leo Kottke on Saturday night.
 
Leo is "completely" deaf in his left ear.
 
Doesn't stop him. Nor Beethoven.

Beethoven couldn't play the drums like Phil.
 

I heard that you don't need to hear to play drums
(because you're always behind all the amps anyway)

I'm surprised Cakewalk hasn't received a fax from Phil Collins complaining about this thread yet...

There's a reason why we call them drum phils.

I did like his drums and backing vocals on John Martyn's 'Grace and Danger' album, that was a good fit and no gated reverb to be heard.
 
I think my furry colleague will agree.

Totally.

Can't Hurry Love was one of those rare covers that was better than the original,

I'm going to go with 'No' on that.

I agree. In my opinion it was a good cover, but to pick up on the point you made earlier it was close to parody. Of course the video also adds to that perception.

 
I would argue it was closer to karaoke than parody.


 

A lot of the Phil hatred comes from the fact that after doing so much great stuff, he ended up doing uninspired  Motown covers and tepid piano ballads.  When you have a lot of talent and settle for mediocrity, people will resent you.  Imagine how much hatred Jimmy Page would get if he recruited a douche-rock vocalist and released an album that sounded like Creed or Nickleback?  Or if Thom Yorke decided to join a band that sounded like Coldplay-lite?

Collins basically became a lounge artist imo. No musical growth at all since the mid 80's. He just stagnated and hasn't moved since 'No Jacket Required'. baaah
