While Genesis has plenty of fans out there, it turns out their lead singer, Phil Collins, isn’t necessarily one of them.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is the subject of a new Drumeo documentary, Phil Collins: Drummer Firstand in it he reveals how he really feels about the band that made him famous.

During the doc, Phil revisits the music he’s made with Genesis and on his own. Collins admits, “I’m not Genesis’ biggest fan, you know.”
“There’s stuff that I like, stuff I’m proud of – stuff that I’m less so,” he notes. “Sometimes it can be like people throwing bricks at you.”
As for how he felt about revisiting his musical career for the doc, he shares, “It's been an interesting trip down a memory lane, some bits may be better than I thought, some bits aren’t as good as I thought.”
He adds, “I’ve been playing drums since I was 5, there’s gonna be dogs! There’s gonna be stuff you enjoy hearing back, and others not so.”

Specifically, Collins says he's "not particularly fond of" the …And Then There Were Three period of Genesis, referring to the band's 1978 album, particularly the song "Down and Out."

He notes, “Haven't heard it for ages but I mean it's, uh, it's a period piece.”
