How did Bill Bruford enter Genesis?
“I was rehearsing with Brand X – I was playing percussion and Phil was on drums. During a break, Phil mentioned that they had a ‘small problem’ with Genesis, namely that Gabriel had left. They’d been auditioning singers because Phil reckoned none of the fifty or so that they’d heard were as good as he was. I said, “You sing and I’ll play drums.” He thought that was a good idea because he wanted someone who could play a bit like him so that he could rely on the drums behind him.” – bill bruford.
