I'm seeing them tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it. It's the first band I really started to love when I was a teenager. I'm quite an emotional person, and it's going to be weird watching Phil being old when what I've grown up on is watching videos when they were all young that were made long before I was even born. And then that his son is playing the drums as well. It's got a weird sense of mortality around it. I'll be a little sad, but I know the happiness will be more.
I've just watched a video of them playing, and I can see Phil tapping his feet along to the time of the kick drum! feelings!!!
When I started listening, I was one of those people that thought Peter Gabriel years were far superior. As I've gotten older, I've realised, that actually, I think Patrick Bateman is completely correct. The Phil years are better and pop music is the best.
