{"id":2347,"count":4,"description":"Formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, South East England, UK in 1967, Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time.\r\n\r\nTheir early work is characterized by complex song structures, elaborate instrumentation and the theatrical antics of founder member and vocalist Peter Gabriel, who left the band August 15, 1975. Unable to find a suitable replacement, it was drummer Phil Collins who assumed lead vocal duties. This change, as well as the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, two years later, saw the remaining three members (Phil Collins, keyboardist Tony Banks and bassist\/guitarist Mike Rutherford) move into more accessible pop-based music. This change in style resulted in a huge growth in Genesis' popularity throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.\r\n\r\nIn 1996 Phil Collins left to concentrate on his solo work and other projects, leaving erstwhile bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks to forge ahead with new recruit; Stiltskin vocalist Ray Wilson. This line-up lasted for one album only (1997's [i]Calling All Stations[\/i]) and Genesis soon found itself on hiatus after the poor performance and critical reaction of the new album.\r\n\r\nIn 2006 \u2013 after years of speculation \u2013 Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford reformed Genesis for the successful [i]Turn It On Again[\/i] tour. A reunion involving ex-members Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett remains much talked-about and unrealised.\r\n\r\nInducted into the <strong>Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame<\/strong> in 2010 (performer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Band members:<\/strong>\r\n\u25cf Peter Gabriel \u2013 lead vocals, flute, percussion (1967\u20131975, 1978, 1982, 1999)\r\n\u25cf Tony Banks \u2013 keyboards, backing vocals (1967\u20131998, 1999, 2000, 2006\u20132007), 12 string acoustic guitar (1967\u20131979)\r\n\u25cf Anthony Phillips \u2013 guitar, backing vocals (1967\u20131970)\r\n\u25cf Mick Barnard \u2013 guitar (1970\u20131971)\r\n\u25cf Steve Hackett \u2013 guitar (1971\u20131977, 1982, 1999)\r\n\u25cf Mike Rutherford \u2013 bass, bass pedals, 6 &amp; 12 string electric guitar, backing vocals (1967\u20131998, 1999, 2000, 2006\u20132007)\r\n\u25cf Chris Stewart (7) \u2013 drums, percussion (1967\u20131968)\r\n\u25cf John Silver (2) \u2013 drums, percussion (1968\u20131969)\r\n\u25cf John Mayhew \u2013 drums, percussion, backing vocals (1969\u20131970)\r\n\u25cf Phil Collins \u2013 drums, lead &amp; backing vocals (1972\u20131996, 1999, 2000, 2006\u20132007)\r\n\u25cf Ray Wilson \u2013 lead vocals (1996\u20131998)\r\n\r\n<strong>Touring\/session musicians:<\/strong>\r\n\u25cf Bill Bruford \u2013 drums, percussion (1976)\r\n\u25cf Chester Thompson \u2013 drums, percussion (1977\u20131995, 2006\u20132007)\r\n\u25cf Daryl Stuermer \u2013 guitar, bass (1978-1995, 2006-present)\r\n\u25cf Nir Zidkyahu \u2013 drums, percussion (1996\u20131998)\r\n\u25cf Nick D'Virgilio \u2013 drums, percussion (on 1997 album [i]Calling All Stations[\/i])\r\n\u25cf Anthony Drennan \u2013 guitar, bass (1998)\r\n\u25cf Nicholas Collins \u2013 drums (2021)","link":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/artista\/genesis\/","name":"Genesis","slug":"genesis","taxonomy":"artista","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista\/2347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/artista"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?artista=2347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
