Steve is a total gentleman I met him once and he was very generous and kind.

Thanks for tuning in!

Early Genesis were so cool when I was young, it was cleverly inventive. I love it.

[@NDVirgilio]

It was great stuff for sure. Thank you!

I traveled from California to NYC (Long Island) to see you play the final Seconds Out gig with Steve Hackett at the Patchogue Theatre - what an unbelievable night! To hear those songs played by a drummer who values the original music so much, and who plays with such incredible feel - and not to mention that, being a fan of the Flower Kings/Karmakanic world, having Jonas Reingold and Nad Sylvan in that same band made it a virtual progressive supergroup that evening - it was worth every penny to have made the trip - simply unforgettable.

Oh wow! That is amazing. Thank you for making that journey and for tuning into the podcast. I loved every moment playing that music with Steve. Cheers!

Oh Nick, what can I say? My favourite band and drummer ever, which were yours too! I got a ticket for Royal Albert Hall concert on October 23, I am so excited again. Thanks a lot for that very interesting interview, Steve confirms what a humble great person he is.

Thank you for tuning in!!!

Great stuff, seeing this dude in Nottingham next month. May I ask you a question Nick? Pretty please 😇 I can hear the influence of Phil Collins in your playing....so fluid and exciting/enjoyable to listen to. Which Genesis songs do you think have inspired you the most?

[@bélalugrisi]

Seeing you play with Steve was such a treat! You da man!!

[@NDVirgilio]

Hello Nick, this was a Great Interview. Such Great Questions, not the normal boring standard questions Steve normally gets. Steve is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. It was good to hear that Tony and him get along. They certainly made some Epic music together. Finally Nick, it was so good to see you play with Steve at the Keswick in Philadelphia. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts over the years, I will put this night in my top ten shows. You killed it on drums, Steve’s outro to Supper’s Ready was mind blowing. Was fortunate to capture this from front row. God Bless both of you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqrqKKuidiXm8ksi=Er2Nm4-hiOvMgIWz

[@NDVirgilio]

Thank you so much for checking it out. Playing for Steve is a real highlight in my career and it still blows me away that I even know the guy. Take care
