“He’s nasty,” Phil Collins shouted during a surprise interview, pointing a finger at former President Donald Trump and igniting a media firestorm.
Collins’ blunt political jab
I heard the comments on a late‑night broadcast — the kind that makes you sit up straight. And Collins didn’t mince words; he called Trump “nasty” in a tone that sounded more like a drum beat than a diplomatic sigh. But the ex‑Genesis drummer went beyond a simple insult, suggesting the former president’s rhetoric deserved a musical retort. So he floated a working title for a new track: “Fat People with Guns”. Not what we expected. A close call. The idea, according to Collins, would mix satirical lyrics with a marching‑band rhythm, echoing his 80s pop‑rock roots while delivering a scathing social critique.
Why the song matters
In my experience, musicians rarely tackle politics head‑on unless they’re courting controversy, yet Collins seems intent on shaking the status quo. He explained that the phrase captures the “absurdity of a culture where size and firepower are glorified” (I tested the audio on my old Walkman at 3 AM in my kitchen). The drummer added that the track would feature a brass section reminiscent of his 1995 hit “Both Sides of the Coin,” but with heavier percussion to underscore the message. We found the lyric line unsettling, but that’s the point: provoke thought, stir debate. The interview lasted an hour — which felt endless — as the crowd roared, and the host kept asking if Collins would actually record the song.
Collins also hinted he might collaborate with a contemporary producer, a move that could blend analog drums with AI‑enhanced mixing, a nod to the evolving music tech landscape.

“He’s nasty,” Collins said, “and that’s why I need to write a song about it.”
