Tony Banks Interview Early 1990
Merry Christmas my fellow Banksians!! This year I bring you an interview with Tony for the Atlantic Records Interview Disc Series to promote 'Bankstatement'. Within this interview, Tony discusses the creation of tracks on 'Bankstatement', ("Throwback", "I'll be Waiting", "Queen of Darkness", "That Night", "Raincloud", "The Border", "Big Man"). He gives a pretty interesting and humourous look at the creation of those tracks.
I stumbled across this disc a few years ago on eBay and purchased it but the seller had yet to update their inventory and had already parted ways with it. It took me a few years to find another copy but FINALLY, I located one and managed to extract the interview with Tony to share with the world...I hope you all enjoy this.
I'm pleased to have tracked this interview down and added it to the archives. It was taken from a promotional CD titled, 'WEA Promotional Compact Disc Volume 33 January 1990'. For further information on said disc: www.discogs.com/release/17906464-Various-WEA-Promotional-Compact-Disc-January-1990-Volume-33

In honour of Tony's 72nd Birthday, I bring you my recordings of the first night in Amsterdam!! I took a trip over to Holland to meet an old friend of mine I'd met online via Genesis around thirteen years ago. He's been a fan since the early 70s. I'd never visited Europe before so it was quite a trip for me! Anyway, the camera work is a bit shoddy in parts but there are some nice bits captured h...

Hello, my fellow, Banksians!! It's been a little while since I've shared a video. As a Valentine's Day gift from me to you, I bring you my video of the Genesis gig at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. What a night that was. It feels almost dream-like now. To actually see Tony with my own eyes after all these years was an amazing feeling. I hope you enjoy the video. 00:00 Behind ...

A Curious Feeling 40th Anniversary Discussion
I just love it! My ex husband found this song for me in 2007. I had looked it up for 25 years (since 1982, when I heard it for the first time in a radio station in Colombia).💕
Duke to pierwszy z koszmarów!
This album is like an extension of the Genesis album from 1983. Love it!
Banks. AMAZING musician and technician, and writer/composer.
The best !
The best song he's ever done in his solo career ? I would say yes. Fabulous!
Y’know why Tony’s solo albums didn’t sell so well? FWIW, I believe it’s because often his songs require multiple listenings, unlike 99% of pop songs.
Im surprised Jack Hughes doesn't get a mention. His vocals set the flavour and mood...
Simply put: a masterpiece.
Bellísima composición musical. Evidentemente Tony Banks es un genio ! Gracias
❤❤❤
Sim esse álbum mudou o rumo da música. É incrível lindíssimo ☝️💎
Tony Banks nos recuerda y enseña que la música es para gozarse y disfrutarse...!!! 🎼 🖼️ 💎 ✨🍷 Asimismo, nos demuestra que la música clásica, No es aburrida o para un pequeño sector de la población...!!! 📖🐬 🎓 🌍 🍾 Finalmente, nos da un ejemplo de que en el siglo XXI, la música clásica sigue gustando a las personas...!!! 🙂 ♥️ 🙏 Además de que esté género es una vía de éxito para los compositores y músicos contemporáneos...!!! ✨ 🐬🌹🏛️ 🎼 Saludos desde México, cdmx...!!! 🇲🇽 Éxito y Sabiduría...!!! 🍀 🐬
It's ironic that this, the beginning (and supposed tragic end) of the story, is actually a perfect description (along with the album's title track) of Enlightenment ❤️
🙌😍👏👏👏 Kim 😢...🕊️
I'm the "333rd" Like !!!!!!!(I know Banks fans will get thus reference!!!)
This Album is a masterpiece all disguised with the Master of disguises
It's a testament to the marketing of the time that it never took off. There's at least two or three would have been hit singles on this one that never made it sadly. They never put the dollars or a solid plan behind Tony for this one and Bankstatement. At least we're in on the music and can appreciate it.
Hes brilliant and so humble
Trovo che nella musica di Tony Banks abbiano respiro sia i moti dell'animo più intimi, un po' come avviene ascoltando Chaikovski ed altri grandi Maestri classici, che l'esternazione gioiosa degli animi più lieti; il tutto legato insieme, come sono legati insieme, nella vita, gioia e dolore, spensieratezza e riflessione, lacrime e sorrisi, Yin & Yang... Ecco, tutto questo esprime la sua musica al mio animo, ed ecco perché lo considero il mio preferito tra i musicisti viventi. Grazie Tony, e grazie a te che ne divulghi la conoscenza attraverso questo interessante canale. Thank you.
Yep Tony is the backbone for sure 🎹!! Much love ❤️
Tony Banks, the GOAT of symphonic rock!!!
I have the import version of this album (i liked it quite a bit) and went to the theater to see the movie (disliked it quite a bit).
Sea of Tranquility's album war brought here... the debut solo albums of Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett and Tony Banks. It's pretty tight but Tony's could be a winner for me!
2024, check in
Collins and Banks very intelligent men, knew their trade. Considerate and good mannered also.
Jack Hues singing?
@@martianshoes Yes, that's him.
Love this Song!
What's the song at 3:31?

@@BanksianCentral Thank you
This man should have did better background on Tony, obviously he don't know chit about him. I could have done way better and I'm sure those of you watching this also could bring a better interview.
These two accomplished classical musicians along with keith emerson r. I. P. are undoubtedly the best ever they are genius
Think Tony meant the Forth rail bridge...rather than the Forth road bridge.
Always admired his musical craftsmanship.
😍
Mr Kershaw has that Dostojevski tragic touch in his voice not talkin` harmonizing. Outstanding! Very tasty drumming by the way.
... (Of Phil): "Ubiquitous for about 15 years, you couldn't get away from him... It was a nightmare"... Hilarious. -And Phil says of himself, "I was in everyone's face"... Haaaa ha ha! "We didn't want him to do THAT well"...
Jeez, I hope Phil can hang on... I'll be destroyed when he passes. I've recounted many moments of his hilarious comments in interview. I'm a decade younger than they, so I'll likely witness the passing of all five. Oh God, why am I thinking about this? They've created the most inspiring, beautiful, thoughtful, and powerful music of my life...
It was when I came across this album that I realized who wrote and performed my favorite Genesis compositions. Tony Banks is THE composer of my years-my time here on earth. I feel so lucky to be in a world with time and the technology to observe those who create beautiful art, so much more than to simply exist.
This album is just SO great and will never, ever get old.
What a gem ❤
Whau - highlight of the song - keeping from 3:20 the F so long for getting the pleasure from change to D/G/E♭ - so brilliantly crafted!
The most underrated album in music history.
ahh, this song always hits the spot!
Tony always impresses me as a musical titan. Thoughtful, strong-willed, inventive, immensely skilled and purposeful. A true artist and defender of the Genesis catalog back to front!
Go back in Time Machine to mid 80s music was best !
He says about songs from the 70s played in the 90s
Tony Bank Super Genius, the reincarnation of Johann Sebastian Bach!!! Number 1
From its inception, Tony was the genius behind Genesis, and now . . . ahhh, this work is sublime, majestic . . . inexorable.
Maravilloso álbum 🙌 lo escucho y me da mucha nostalgia 🥹 Tony Banks un tecladista extraordinario !!!... Esta música me acompaño desde mi adolescencia 🥹!!! El minuto 12 :00 es una maravilla 😮🙌... 👋🇦🇷
Hearing it for the first time as I am typing this. Been a Genesis fan since forever, but never knew about this.
@@Steffe Better late than never!!
Is it o.k when I say I prefer the original studio version ?
