Pretty sure he is aware

Bach Bacharack Banks.

Criminally underrated!

Indeed, he was beside Rick Wakeman and the late Rick Wright my favorite key player of Prog Rock bands.

He knows

Thanks for the heart. Tony deserves a lot and most of Genesis's music is built on his melodic inventions.

I'd say he was definitely the greatest *composer* of the classic prog era. He was technical yet creative, and without being a show-off like so many of his contemporaries could fall into the trap of being. His playing just speaks to me on a certain level that the other big names couldn't quite manage to do. His chord progressions and melodies just evoke a lot of emotion for me. The man was and is a genius.

Yes and no, if you listen to his solo album, not quite the best stuff i have heard....Genesis is for sure Banks at the writing and also the other members....love all the original band

@@sega62s You can't compare Tony from 1984 and Tony from the 70's. He indeed went more and more pop as time went by but in those "golden genesis years" i'm sure he was really the brain behind the band. Both David Henschell and Tony Smith themselves said that.

Joaquín Velázquez not so sure, Hackett and Gabriel left the band for some reasons....and they are both great composer, I think its a group affair, cause as a solo artist it is nowhere near any stuff from genesis

@@sega62s Gabriel left for family reasons and to pursue a solo career, and Hackett left because he felt underrated and because he didn't like the orientation the of the music the rest of the band were wanting to pursue. Obviously 5 brains create greater things than 1 brain but i'm still positive that Tony had the last say back in the day. Was it fair? I don't know, it's no surprise by now that Tony was not the friendliest kind of person back then but his musical mind was the most influential in Genesis. Just my opinion.

It's a matter of personal preference, of course, however I would yet like to know WHY Tony shouldn't be called the greatest keyboardist of all time? The sounds and the tones that he has been able to produce and release with his keyboards over the past decades have been nothing but delightful. He and my boy Phil should be considered the greatest drummer/keyboardist duo of all time due to their unparalleled and unmatched harmony and chemistry, which have both been palpable. As a matter of fact, playing together they sound above and beyond orgasmic. One essentially listens an instrumental song within a main instrumental song of the band. Mind-boggling.

Really, since Collins joined the band, Genesis has been spectacular.From the Peter days, The Collins take over and Hackett hitting the road...................... "And Then There Were Three." Then Rutherford pulls a Collins and ends up playing Bass and Guitar. And they just kept putting out good stuff. Also Tony Banks is hot right now,Making covers of magazines on how much bread he's pulling in.

Tony Banks has given us some of the best parts on Synths, Tony Banks uses more synths than piano, Here already without the legendary ARP Pro Soloist. Here the two synths I see above, seem to me to be the Korg Wavestation and the Roland JD-800, How would it be if at that time Mozart and Beethoven had synths?...

"How would it be if at that time Mozart and Beethoven had synths?..." EXCELLENT!

and Johann Sebastian Bach Harpsichord

I think the keyboard s worked out.

If you get a chance check out Tony's album called 5.

He was Genesis' main composer, wrote more material than any other member of the group, so yeah, his contribution was huge.

True. The groups “Yes and Asia too!!.”

Steve Edge jj

I have to disagree about Daryl Stuermer "remaining loyal to the original." I would add "- just barely." To me, his "imposing his own personality on it" displays what I see as showboating, simply a flurry of maximum notes-per-second, running up and down the neck, incongruous with the Genesis classics - especially Steve Hackett's original parts, which are essential to Genesis sounding like Genesis.But somebody hired him for the job, so...

I like the style of Steve´s playing but I like also how Daryl plays this solo. He plays much more modern and technical kind of solo here. And while I like the original for that delicateness and sound, I also like this one for the freshness and excitement. And I have to admit that I listen to the Daryl´s version more often. Also because even the drum parts improved since the 70s and the whole thing is more entertaining than before.

@@shahaffiq5860 You too! And also me!!

Linnea Skoglund 😂

There must be some misunderstanding because no I didn’t. 😆

I agree - he was and is a phenomenal talent. Personally I love his work with John Martyn and Eric Clapton - he was instrumental in the revival of both musician’s careers - and his drumming is always superb! I think his only crime was becoming a bit ubiquitous during the mid to late 80s…….like Ed Sheeran - but with genuine talent!

He wrote or co-wrote a majority of them.

@@SwingingCreeper Also, muscle memory is a wonderful thing. If you can't play a song with your eyes closed, you shouldn't be playing it live...

PLATOON72 yeah but he knows it and that kind of spoils it.

Why? People doing something extraordinary often know, what they are doing. Why not? To me he is probably my favorite songwriter, may be together with Donald Fagen, Walter Becker and Michael League.

duke was my fav album. but i never saw the show. i am jealous.

Your wish has been granted.

That continued into the Last Domino Tour when his injuries prevented him from playing. He always described himself as a drummer who sings😊

88BigEtrain I agree. Tony and Phil really complimented one another's musical talents.

Bruford and Howe?

+dribbler23 Gilmour and Wright come to mind...

Tony Banks realmente é o cara. Música não é só habilidade e destreza (pirotecnia), mas acima de tudo sensibilidade e bom gosto. E essa "discussão' de uns por aqui sobre o Daryl não fazer a parte igual ao Steve é uma besteira. Primeiro, quem tocou no original foi o Steve. Ele imprimiu o estilo, uso um tipo de guitarra, de corda, de pedal, de efeito, de técnica de gravação, etc. E nem o Steve toca sempre do mesmo jeito. Pega um vídeo do Frampton e do Gilmour e vai ver que eles quase nunca tocam exatamente igual ao original, assim como o Page. Só quem toca igualzinho, nota por nota, é o cover, como o Brit Floyd. Os caras são mais PF nos shows do que o próprio Pink Floyd era, só que sem a alma e o feeling do original. O Santana toca uma nota e vc sabe que é ele. A beleza tá aí. Na música clássica é outra chatice, os caras dizendo que o fulano (que normalmente é um concertista com 30 anos de estrada e que toca e estuda 8 horas por dia) mutilou a obra do Chopin ou do Beethoven, como se alguém tivesse ouvido uma gravação original dos caras pra saber como era. E os caras deviam tocar diferente no dia que a mulher dormiu de calça jeans ou quando eles estivessem com gases. Imagina o Bob Dylan, que ao vivo canta um negócio que vc vai descobrir o que é lá pelos 3 minutos...

or lack there of.

Yes, my boy always has to be epic.

Drummer gona Drum

Would prefer if he were playing air vocals ;)

Jonp not funny

LOL!

Darryl way overplays the pieces. Hackett is more thoughtful and tasty in what he puts forth.

Gary VanRemortel that’s his job to do. He’s not being Steve Hackett he’s being Daryl Stuermer and that’s pretty fucking awesome

@@hpatss4966 Technically proficient, but lacking feel IMO. It's the difference between being adequate and killing it.

Gary VanRemortel true it’s very technically proficient, but think about it, he had to start using this solo. He couldn’t just play it. When they did this song from 78’ + he had to give it a lot of flashiness Bc A. that’s what crowds loved and B. He didn’t wanna play the exact same solo, he just made it his own. We can’t judge them the same Bc their not the same solos.

Gary VanRemortel if he was trying to cover Steve’s solo, this would be a pretty bad rendition, but it’s not Daryl stuermer playing in Steve’s place, it’s Daryl stuermer playing a solo

+CSXer This came straight off of my copy of 'The Way We Walk' original release DVD.

You were my absolute hero untill i've heard you say in an interview on BBC that you dont like the Lamb lies Down on Broadway til this day. And that your favourite album is Duke??? Yes the reason why Gabriel left was very unfair to you all (for not getting free space enough) But going on tour to the US (to promote the lamb without being even in the US shops at that time) - with a very daring and very important tour ahead - i can imagine you still have second thoughts. But hey come on Duke?

Filip Tour have you even heard duke recently? That album is amazing!!
