I have tried for 3 years since 2 surgeries and have been not only unable to get control but increased my level of pain. It is a terrible "sentence" to get get but even with new techniques it still is hard to fix the spine! God Bless to Phil and others(Tomas Haake) and Good Luck!

While these aren't my favorite of his tunes he made buckets of money so someone was buying them. What people don't realize is that he is an unbelievably good drummer. All of the early Genesis stuff (with Peter Gabriel) is hot. I have seen Phil a couple of times and he obviously loves performing - I wouldn't be surprised if this is short-lived.
