Examiner - Phil Collen Interview Quotes

"The best one was, I went to see Phil Collins at a show in Holland when we were first recording Hysteria."

"So we went to the stadium, and the [security] guy said, "What's your name on the guest list?" and I said, "Phil Collen." "Yes, this is Phil Collins." So I said, "No, I'm on the guest list" - and they're Dutch, as well, so there's a slight language thing, although they speak great English in Holland, there was still enough for it to be a bit of confusion - and I don't remember how many times I went over this: "I'm on the guest list, but I'm not Phil Collins, I'm Phil Collen and I'm with another band."
