    Wonderful guy. I remember after a Mechanics gig in 1989, I hung around waiting for Mike to leave wanting an autograph. He drove past us and then suddenly stopped 100 yards on, got out of his car and signed everything we threw at him. His wife was lovely too willing to chat. A very English man with that old fashioned Englishness about him. I love it.

      I also found out that he's a very kind hearted man too.

      Lucky you. I waited somewhere in the seventies behind the Groenoordhallen in Leiden in Holland after a concert of Genesis. But when they really left the building there in blue bathropes, I was too surprised to fetch my stuff to get it signed and they were walking 3 meters distance. So stupid of me....

    Listening to his first album "Smallcreeps Day" ...it's one of the most underrated albums of all time. Great interview Sarah.

      I also liked his second album "acting very strange" from 1982. I like how he stepped up to provide lead vocals for the album. His vocals aren't that bad.

      Both his solo albums were great. Most of those bass lines sound wonderful. Steve Hackett called up Mike to tell him how wonderful his first solo album was.

      So many great particularly original lines to be found way back in his bass playing catalogue,
      very underappreciated.

    A wonderful interview. Great to hear an interviewer who has done background research, has come up with interesting questions and doesn't talk all over the interviewee. And Mike Rutherford is still the intelligent, affable, humble guy he always has been despite his Charterhouse education.

    • @rk41gator
      @rk41gator 3 роки тому +3

      Such a great point so well stated. From his background it would be easy to be overblown and 'full of himself'. Such the opposite. So much more substance than given credit, in every way!

    Saw him live last month, it was great, I was 5 metres away from the stage!
    His music with genesis and also the mecanics is great.

      @@rk41gator I don't know about that, he's always dissed Steve Hackett, and Steve has even addressed this in his bio from last year. Actually, Tony also wasn't happy with how MIKE R. portrayed him in his own book.

      @@paolocoletti1574 yeah, i remember reading when steves book was released that there wasnt necessarily so much beef with steve and tony, but steve and mike. now that ive been back on the internet researching i havent found anything about that, not even the initial stuff i read last year. and honestly, the reviews havent been all that flattering for steves book, in that it sounds short and uninteresting, not that i can afford it anyway. the fripp story, new genesis stories, and solo stuff, life experience stuff im a fan of the guitarist so the reviews dont deter me obviously.

    Would that be too much to ask to turn the intro/ outro down a bit? Mike is a very soft speaking person and so you have to turn the volume up a bit to hear what he says and then suddenly you get that big heavy guitar riff...

    Sarah: "Hey, hey, hey!! We're here with Mike Rutherford of Genesis fame! WOW! It's so great! My heart is beating in my ass I'm so excited! WHOOAA!!!"
    Mike: ".....well, I'm here to talk about my new book. It's a story of fathers, growing old and of death. My generation had to experience all of that..."
    Such a strange interview. One person if trying to sensationalize everything, and the other is reminiscing sweetly about his past.
