Peter Gabriel Says He Won’t Reunite With Genesis at Rock Hall Induction

Photo: Napolitano/FilmMagic In two months Genesis will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but fans hoping to see Peter Gabriel sing with his former band for the first time in nearly 30 years are probably in for a disappointment. “As far as I know, I’m definitely not going to sing,” Gabriel tells Rolling Stone. “I learned at our last reunion [in 1982] that you can’t just get up there. You have to rehearse.” Gabriel is actually not even positive he’ll be able to attend the March 15th

The Cribs and Johnny Marr on the Smith’s New Role, Bad ’90s Music

For three albums, the Cribs — twin brothers Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger bro Ross — kept things familial on their way to becoming a buzz band in their native England. But for their fourth album Ignore the Ignorant, the U.K. indie trio welcomed a big non-Jarman name as a formal member, recruiting the Smiths — and more recently, Modest Mouse — guitarist Johnny Marr. In this exclusive Rolling Stone interview, Gary Jarman and Marr discuss the genesis of this new union (”We just got togethe

Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

American Idol fever swept through Rock Daily as David Cook received twelve million more votes than David Archuleta. We live-blogged the song-off and highlighted our favorite moments of the finale. Next week, we perilously trap Cook into a corner and make him answer your question. We put our tape recorders to good use and had the interns transcribing double-time as we talked to Genesis about their massive reunion tour, Mudhoney’s Mark Arm about Superfuzz Bigmuff, Bun B about his fallen rap partner Pimp C and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis about the festival he’s curating and his band’s hiatus. All we learned in that pre-law class we took sophomore class finally came to fruition as the R. Kelly trial kicked off, Slick Rick got pardoned and Phil Spector will once again spend many days in a courthouse. The video department was on Final Cut overload as Tokio Hotel taught us how to speak German and Breaking band Sam Champion performed in a van. [Photo: Becker/Getty]

Genesis: The Biggest Tour That You Haven’t Heard Much About

The Genesis reunion tour has been somewhat lost amongst a sea of Van Halens and Police on the road this fall: Pulling up to the venue I was somewhat concerned I’d be the only one there. But as far as I could tell every seat in the 16,000-person arena was taken — in Hartford, Connecticut, no less. And as the band burst into a show closing “Carpet Crawlers” — a Peter Gabriel-era track that you don’t hear on the radio every day — I was further shocked to hear the whole place singing along. Did I miss something? Was every Genesis fan on the entire East Coast at this concert, or is Genesis sorta, kinda, somewhat cooler than they used to be? Has their long absence deemphasized their weaker moments (i.e. “Hold On My Heart”) and left only what’s great (i.e. “Los Endos”)? Whatever it is, they’re playing three nights in Philadelphia this week and Giants Stadium next week. I’m clearly not the only one out there digging this. Last night, as Genesis played their 1973 quasi-hit “I Know What I Like” at the Hartford Civic Center, images from the group’s past appeared on a giant screen. We saw a young, rail-thin Peter Gabriel dressed in a ridiculous flower costume; an even more ridiculous Slipperman costume from the 1975 Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour; and former guitarist Steve Hackett playing alongside a tambourine-wielding Phil Collins (looking like an Ewok crossed with an elf) shortly after Collins took over for Gabriel on vocals in 1976. It’s a past that the band has come to terms with: On recent tours, the band’s proggy Seventies songs were relegated to a few lines in a medley, if not dropped entirely to make room for latterday pop tunes like “That’s All” and “In Too Deep.” That was not the case last night, their first tour with Collins in fifteen years. Collins, who has been critical of the band’s early work over the years, performed the ancient numbers with the gusto of his counterpart on the screen, albeit with much less hair and a little more paun
