calling all besties….KILL!!!!

genesius genesis geneesis calling all stations  1997 caling all stations genesis by genesis the progressiveo rck band calling all station At the end of the We Can’t Dance Tour in November 1992 the band went on hiatus, reuniting only for a one-off charity performance in September 1993. Their drummer and lead vocalist Phil Collins resumed his solo career and released Both Sides, keyboardist Tony Banks recorded an album with Jack Hues under the Strictly Inc. project, and guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford continued his band Mike + the Mechanics. In mid-1994, Collins said that singing Genesis songs at the charity gig after making Both Sides, which he deemed a highly personal album, was uncomfortable. “For the first time I felt like an actor playing somebody else’s part.”[4] After a band meeting with manager Tony Smith in the summer of 1995, Collins left.[5] A press release from management announcing the news was released in March 1996. Banks and Rutherford decided they had nothing to lose and started to write new songs in January 1996 to see if it was worth carrying on with Genesis.[5] After some ideas had been put down they were pleased with the results and began to audition lead singers. At this stage, the basic structure of the tracks on Calling All Stations had been written but the lyrics had not been worked on. Shortly after the album’s release, Wilson described the material as a mixture of their earlier progressive rock sound and their later, more commercial period.[6] The two strongest candidates were English singer David Longdon, now of Big Big Train, and Scottish singer and guitarist Ray Wilson of the grunge-influenced band Stiltskin. Longdon’s song “Hieroglyphics of Love” attracted producer Nick Davis who forwarded it onto Banks and Rutherford and liked it enough to invite him to the studio to audition.[7] Banks had liked Wilson’s vocals from listening to Stiltskin’s first album, The Mind’s Eye (1994).[5] For his first audition, Wilson sang Genesis songs with Collins’s vocals removed. At his second, he was asked to contribute vocal ideas to the new music that Banks and Rutherford had written, singing and humming ideas on the spot. Takes from this session were used by Banks to shape the verses to “There Must Be Some Other Way”.[6] In November 1996, Banks and Rutherford chose Wilson as the new lead singer. Longdon said Rutherford phoned him with the news while Banks sent him a Christmas card with “a lengthy message inside.”[7] The addition of Wilson to the band was not made public until 6 June 1997.[8]
