Steve Hackett Talks The End of Genesis, Early Canadian Life & More, 2022 Interview

[@pietroprogman]

Steve is one of my heroes...the beauty of his music is immortal...and his also one of my favorite guitar maestros of all time. Regards from Sicily!

[@DrakusRecords]

Steve Hackett is my favorite guitarist, and he's also an incredibly generous guy. I interviewed him on my college radio station, he gave me free tickets to his show and we got a backstage pass. We got a pic of him with my band's t-shirt. Such an awesome dude.

[@8Stickman]

I love that Steve is doing these albums live. Someone has to, who better than him.

[@angusrobertson2515]

Steve is a monumental talent and comes across as such lovely chap.

[@someguyinflorida]

Long live Steve Hackett!

[@PH61a]

It's impossible for the person that plays the original Firth of Fifth guitar solo (and plays such beautiful guitar on many other great songs) not to be my all time hero!!!!! I'm so glad to see him perform live in early May in Utrecht, Netherlands again. Must be about my 15th time: I feel so privileged!

Fantastic musician and a gentleman Thanks John for The interview.

[@alencar5420]

Fantastic! He thinks Smallcreeps Day is one of the best Genesis solo too! Great Interview! Congratulations.

[@booshting3520]

The Foxtrot At 50 tour was incredible.

[@ivannio8519]

Great to listen to this. Inspiring, and by a very inspired person :) Thank you.

[@jbytuna]

Thank you! Loved the interview.

Who owns the music? Those who have it in their hearts and not those who produced it from their heads. Wow... Love Steve.

Steve's guitar sound was my 'gateway drug' to classic Genesis. Without that and Mike's bass playing (and the twelve strings) I don't think I would have given those albums a second listen. Oh, did I forget Phil's drumming?

[@PH61a]

...and classic Genesis for sure wouldn't exist without Peter's vocals and certainly - last but not least - Tony's keyboards.

'For Absent Friends' ... off Steve's original Genesis Revisited album ... with the great Colin Blunstone on vocals ... and done as a waltz in 3/4 time ... just a wonderful rendition of Steve's early composition that made it onto the 'Nursery Cryme' album

[@alexknightma]

Awesome! 🏆

What would be wild is if he could con Antony Phillips into coming on and doing The Knife. I think I heard Ant once say he wouldn't mind playing to a BIG crowd but they never had them back in his day.
