Now if I had to pick a flagship Phil Collins song, in my opinion it would be "In the Air Tonight" but I always thought it needed more power and feel to it, even though it was already an awesome song.
Then, the other day I started seeing promos for a new show coming out called E-Ring. Now, I could care less about the show, it looks rather boring, but during the promo they played a hard rock cover of In the Air tonight, and I just thought it was really cool... So I went to figure out who did it.
It's by the band Nonpoint, off of thier Recoil CD (Awesome CD) and I really love the cover they did of it and how they added the power to it without losing the feel of the original. I still like the original, but I prefer listening to it in my own genre. So it worked out great for me.
Hopefully server isn't being a bitch.
It's not something people hear about.
It has absolutely none of the heart of the Collins recording. And the singer sounds so emo my balls began to hurt.

Uh... That version of it was the duet version. Phil Collins is singing half of it, as well as backing vocals. He is also doing the keyboard, and he produced the track. It's just louder, darker, and harder than the original.
The song itself is similar is sound to the Cure song off "The Crow" soundtrack.
Edit: As far as the song itself, I prefer the original, but also on top of that, I prefer listening to music in my own genre so it fits in with my playlist without being out of place. Which is what I said. Faelynn LeAndris fucked around with this message on 09-15-2005 at 06:06 PM.

harder than the original.
No, no it isn't. If you've ever actually listened to the original you know what a vengeful, hateful song it is. It's a punch to the gut.
This new one just sounds emo. It's a punch to the balls.

I'm playing the original right now... And to your comment on the emo vocals.
Overlay... They sound almost identical - edit Vocally - (Probably because, as I said, Phil Collins is actually singing half the song and backing vocals.)
The biggest mistake I think the song makes, is that it starts hard and stays hard, as opposed to the original where it was a lead up to the massive drum hits in the middle. Faelynn LeAndris fucked around with this message on 09-15-2005 at 06:11 PM.
The original is hard in a very metaphorical sense, and that is entirely lost on this shitty cover.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
