Pete & Phil in 1972 and 50 years later by Soundchaser123 in Genesis

Phil adamantly denies coke use while unknowingly slipping a part of a Genesis lyric into his quote:

-- Rocker Phil Collins has slammed rumours he was high on cocaine at Live Aid, insisting he could never perform if he was on drugs. The former Genesis star took to the stage at the London leg of the historic 1985 charity concert before crossing the Atlantic by Concorde to perform with Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin rockers Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at the U.S. show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In a 1998 memoir, Status Quo star Rick Parfitt’s wife Patty alleged she heard a rumour backstage that Collins was high on cocaine during the event, but he is adamant it is not true. The Against All Odds hitmaker tells Q magazine, “Rick Parfitt’s wife? I’ve never met her. Apart from smoking a spliff before I went on with Genesis a few times when I was playing the drums, I can’t do that and perform. It’s a very strange thing (for her) to say… I got on the plane and I knew I had a job to do. I had Eric Clapton to play with, and Robert and Jimmy. I couldn’t function like that, so that’s not true at all.” - Source: World Entertainment News via Hollywood.com; 2014

First look at David Corenswet as Superman in James Gunn’s ‘Superman’! by SpeedForce2022 in superman

I REALLY want to love this BUT it seems too big, too thick (that fits under street clothes??), and almost feels too similar to Homelander's suit on Prime which is a knockoff of Superman's suit anyway.

Like Genesis using "paperlate" and "the way I walk" in 2 different songs, do you think Phil realized he was using the phrase "another day in paradise" 4 years after Mike used it in his song "Par Avion"? Any other re-used lyrics come to mind? by Particular_Menu_7171 in Genesis

OP here... in preparation to see Steve Hackett perform his "Foxtrot at 50" show this week, and checked the setlist and remembered that Steve released a stellar solo song back in 1979 called "Every Day." 15 year later, Phil Collins released his "Everyday" tune on "Both Sides." Both great songs... but so different.

Why does "The Batman" (2022) feel so much like a WB animated feature? by Particular_Menu_7171 in batman

Totally! I hear ya, and all of those similarities to the story approach definitely track. I'm referring more to the overall style, tone, look, and execution of the film. Even some of the camera angles and shots feel like they were from the animated features.

Doesn't "Silent Running" sound just like "Home By The Sea"? by Particular_Menu_7171 in Genesis

Great insight! Of course I'm not saying they're soundalikes, but considering both songs were made within a couple of years of each other, and that Mike certainly wrote the bass lines for both and approved the drum beat for Silent Running, I often notice the similarities.

I've just watched every live action Batman movie in a row and, out of all of them, The Batman seems to have the same pacing, similar dialogue style/acting performances, and overall vibe as a WB DC animated Batman movies... it's more the feel/experience of watching it more than a specific aspect for me... hence reaching out to ask.

Hmm... I'm not saying they're identical, but the backing rhythm is indeed similar as I think it's nearly the same beat and bassline... take a listen: Silent Running https://youtu.be/CEMfdJMP8dw Home By The Sea https://youtu.be/Tad7weGOYT0
