DARYL STUERMER UNFILTERED:ON JOINING GENESIS AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF STEVE HACKETT. 27' INTERVIEW

[@davidsigalow7349]

An important life lesson here - no matter who you are or how old you are, if you're going on a job interview, be prepared. Daryl took the time to learn how to play the Genesis songs before going to audition for the band, and that made an impression. Whether you are interviewing for a job with an insurance company or a rock band, learn as much as you can, be prepared and show up on time.

[@frankmurphyburr3598]

Daryl seems like a guy you wanna have as your friend as soon as you meet him from the first time. He seems friendly and very a kind person. One of the worlds best guitarplayers ever! 🙏🔥🔥❤💯

Your take on Daryl is spot on. Leland Sklar met Daryl for the first time on an elevator, and by the time they walked off the elevator they were fast friends for life.

[@RickCT2000]

Daryl has very interesting perspectives on the band and individuals, plus he is an excellent excellent player. He has a great sense of humor and obviously a generous heart. Genesis was fortunate to get him in late 1977.

[@Doupyourflies]

You say he's an excellent player. Noone could destroy Firth of Fifth like he does. Totally the wrong guy for Genesis, but what's done is done.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@Doupyourflies he noodled Firth of fifth to death with his jazz fusion overplaying. He is a very good musician but there would of been better fits for Genesis I’m sure. It’s all history now though.

[@RickCT2000]

@@lubmir2k Agree 100% Daryl adds some oomph and reverb compared to Steve's manically classical precision playing.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@RickCT2000 "manically classical “ lol, the pieces he played on were meant to be played in that way especially FoF , less is more with that song. What I did like that Daryl did was on live versions of in the cage ( medleys) where his fusion style actually suited that song perfectly because they played faster tempo versions from 1980 onwards. Steves style in the early days suited Genesis perfectly though that’s why they took him on.

[@denveradams4909]

My Marine Corps barracks roommate first introduced me to Genesis in 1978. I believe the very first album I heard was the "Seconds Out' live album. For that reason, I never did care that much for the older stuff with Peter Gabriel. But that very first listen to Genesis, had me hooked. I was an amateur drummer myself and was just enamored by having two drum kits playing at the same time. Even though it was known as "progressive rock", my own name for the style was "precision rock". Because it seemed that every musician was a master with their instrument and every note, every beat was exactly in the right place and the right time. It was very complicated stuff; which invites a lot of improv to happen. However, it seemed to me that it was scripted. Speaking just for me; there were times on the Seconds Out album that I was feeling almost a spiritual experience. The euphoria was so powerful; especially listening through high quality headphones, where the various stereo placements in the sound field were so pronounced.

[@ulfisaksson299]

what a nice guy and a great musician.

[@scottsmith955]

What a gifted, humble servant of the music and full-fledged part of Genesis. Thank you Daryl! Saw you with Genesis in Columbus in 2007, best concert of all time!

[@josephramone5805]

I've been a Daryl fan since 1975 when he played with Jean-Luc Ponty on the Aurora album. His work on subsequent albums, such as the classic Enigmatic Ocean, is among the best guitar playing in the jazz fusion genre. Daryl mentions how he didn't play with any effects until he joined Genesis and that's something that immediately stood out to me from his work on JLP albums. He played so fast and so fluid, but without any delay or echo. Any guitar player will tell you that it's not easy to play very fast lines with simply a guitar plugged into an amp. An overdrive pedal and slight delay helps to mask any imperfections in the player's technique. Daryl mastered the art of fast, clean playing and he's one of the very best to ever pull it off.

[@timringgenberg2844]

I had the pleasure of working with Daryl back in the mid 80's and he was so genuine and just so damn nice. I offered to help him and his band mates unload their van but he said that we got this and thanks for the offer. As we set up he was just another guy on stage. He and his band came over from Milwaukee to my hometown, Madison, and was doing a three piece show. I don't know how many shows they did but I was lucky to work and mix them that one night. And you can see in this interview just how nice and low key he is. Just a good old midwestern boy at heart.

[@ramadimajor1299]

[@GenesisMuseum]

After working on so many Genesis interviews I was thinking it would be great to hear things from Daryl's perspective, and here it is! If you want to know what an easy going guy Daryl is, just the fact that he has remained in Genesis, a band with difficult personal dynamics at times, for 40+ years... tells you all you need to know.

[@jimbarrofficial]

What a great interview. Amazing how Genesis survived so many changes, and then thrived even playing the older material. Daryl and Chester to me are integral parts of the band, as much as Peter and Steve were in the older iterations.

Daryl! You won me over the first time I saw you play. I think it was 1979 at Newcastle City hall. Your solo in In The Cage made my jaw hit the floor. I'd never heard shred before, and couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was only 17 I think. Decades of great memories ever since.

[@Lectric_Blue]

I saw Genesis at Aberdeen in 1980 on their 'Duke' tour, and I was a bit worried about how Daryl & Chester would fit in to the band live. I was a huge Hackett fan and I wasn't really convinced that Daryl could deliver the same level of exciting and powerful guitar playing that I was expecting. Well, that evening on the 25th April was one of the best nights of my life! The band were fantastic, the setlist was a fan's dream, but Daryl was the big surprise. He knew every note of every song, he played exactly the right style and level for each song and (importantly for me at least) he aced all the Hackett highlights stuff that I was worried about. Both Daryl and Chester were great, they just fit right in and both contributed to the full 'Genesis' live sound. Thank you Daryl!

Never having seen an interview with Daryl Stuermer... I had no idea he was such a cool guy. It was nice to hear that he and Hackett have no hard feelings.

[@Paddyjack]

About his comments on replacing Steve Hackett, I think everyone agrees he did a great job in joining Genesis. Where there may be divisions amongs fans is about the solo of Firth of Fifth. While I prefer how Steve is doing it, the fact of the matter is Firth of Fith became part of a medley that was very energetic in live shows, and this is a great example where Darryl had to adapt this solo to also make it more energetic. Otherwise, it would have felt out of place in the medley.

[@harrynewiss4630]

No. Stuermer played the solo in Firth of Fifth before it got put into a medley as well. And his solo was horrible then too.

[@grahamwitcher105]

Yes. Daryl put his own take on it but respected Steve's original solo.

[@dana_brooke_27]

I remember when Phil introduced Daryl and Chester at Madison Square Garden in 78. I have it on a bootleg CD. It was their first tour with Genesis and my first Genesis concert. That was the iconic concert that Peter showed up for the encore. At the end of the show I remember thinking those two guys did great. I already knew Chester was great from his work with Frank Zappa. This is gonna work. Phil's first two solo albums are excellent. My favorites of his solo works. I think Mike is so extremely underrated as a guitarist and bassist. And Tony Banks is the genius behind their progressive rock sound. I prefer them prog rock. Tony's "Fading Lights" is beautiful and I don't think it's a coincidence it's the last song on the last album... Daryl had some huge shoes to fill and he did and does it well. You can see in this interview why he is so well liked by the band. He seems like a "real" humble nice guy. My only complaint is I really wish he'd of stuck to the program on the guitar solo on "Firth of Fifth" I understand he wanted to make it his own per say but that solo is pure perfection as Steve wrote it to be and should have been left as is. That's all I have to say on that subject. I'll be seeing Daryl with Genesis in two and half weeks at The Garden. Where their live shows started for me is where it seems it will end. The venue every band dreams of playing and every fan wants to see their favorite bands.

[@stevesnailfish]

Great guitarist and bassist...Top notch musician....and also very humble, which is a good trait... Saw Steve Hackett a few weeks ago in my home city (UK) and the Firth of Fifth solo was sublime......My favourite ever guitar solo for over 40 years.....Daryl did a good job though.

Daryl is a great guitar player. The stuff he played on In The Cage live was amazing.

[@ReverbAndBeer]

I first saw Daryl at The Roxy, he and Jen Luc Ponty, just the two of them, playing acoustic instruments. Daryl on a 6-string acoustic and JLP on a standard violin. They weren't even plugged in (just mic'd), no effects, no reverb/delay/loopers... just two extraordinary musicians exploring the possibilities of music and taking us with them. I wonder how Daryl felt about Phil asking Tim Pierce to be the guitarist for the Testify tour? (Tim, who is a studio hack, politely declined). I first saw Chester with Frank Zappa, then with Larry Carlton at the 42-seat Baked Potato (Abe, Sr. on bass). I had seen the TOTT tour with Bruford, and he didn't really fit in. When I saw the W&W / Seconds Out tour Chester blew everyone away (Taylor Hawkins described that record as "the drummer's bible"). So when they showed up at the Greek in LA for ATTWT with both Chester and Daryl, I was in heaven. I continued to go to every Genesis show (since SEBTP) until We Can't Dance. Phil's voice finally got to me (pinch your nose and sing, "Throwin' it all away...").

The stance, the look, the focus… he’s the guy nobody would expect that makes my top five favorite guitarists. Sure the others are way more famous and likely more important to their bands, etc….
