Here’s a few things Genesis told Rock Daily during a fifteen minute phone chat this morning: Keyboardist Tony Banks puts the odds of a reunion tour with original singer Peter Gabriel at 23.5%. Phil Collins‘ obsession with building a model railroad in his basement is preventing him from recording a new solo album, though he is open to the idea of recording with longtime admirer Akon (”I’m flattered that he has expressed the interest publicly, risking his career in doing so,” says Collins). The trio were chatting to promote the release of their new DVD When In Rome, a three disc document of their 2007 reunion tour which will be available at Walmart on June 10th. In addition to live versions of hits like “Land of Confusion” and obscure 1970s gems such as “Ripples,” the set contains a two-hour documentary full of candid backstage moments.
