I ,like ALL Genesis, the beginning, the middle, & the end . It's all great . Band of my youth, middle age, & now I hat I'm an old man . Genesis for life!!!
It may be all great to you , but not to thousands of other Genesis fans . You can be a huge fan of any band or artist without having to like everything they did .
Gerard Convie and that’s fine, it’s your opinion. But in my opinion post-Hackett Genesis just isn’t the same, it’s not nearly as good to me.
I'm with you Gerard. I like the whole ball of wax!
Steve keeps the spirit of the original, and for me the best Genesis alive. Legend!
AND, even now, he LOOKS 20 years younger than the rest of the Genesis alum! His Music has preserved him! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! ROCK ON STEVE!! 🎸🥁🎻👍
The more I watch interviews of this gentleman, the more I like him. Not to mention the other-worldly sonic experience his guitar solos offer! I regard him highly!
Amen
He really is quite likeable. I saw him in concert last year and he was quite gracious on stage.
He is an absolute gentleman with all his fans.
@Nelson Robert Willis so true !

I totally agree - you shouldn´t forget he´s a guitar player! I always hated to play with guitarists who lived the attitude of Jimmy Page and othe "guitar gods". That´s a nightmare especially for keyboard players. And Steve Hackett was always the opposite of that. He embodied music, not attitude - and I really like him for that.
Steve Hackett should be more world renowned than he is. Great guitarist, composer and man.
Every time I watch one of these I have more and more respect for Steve, and less and less for the others. He might not see it as a competitive thing but I guarantee the others did.
This man is an amazing talent, and an absolutely wonderful human being
Absolutely agree! Met him outside Coventry Theatre in 1980.... very genuine and humble!....a good man!
Thanks to Steve Hackett for keeping Genesis' best musical period alive, presenting to it both to old fans as well as to newer generations.
Yes there were a couple of kids with their dads, trying to see what Steve's guitar pedal setup was after the gig at Leicester UK in October 2022.
I love Collins, Banks, Rutherford and Gabriel. But Hackett truly stands out. He made what old Genesis was and kept that spirit alive. Every Day was the first song I've heard of his solo work and you can just hear and feel his emotion in that. I want to see him again ASAP!
What a gentleman, every time I hear him speak I feel better about myself and humankind.
A fantastic guitarist and great guy.
Got the same mug Steve ,,so glad you formed genesis revisited,,,wonderful music is meant to be played ,as well as listened to….
I love all of Genesis history... some say it's not the same without Steve, but the light melodic trio is a nice formula too... I love it all!!!!
The day Steve left it was for me all down hill for Genesis
And Then There Were Three is very good, Duke is fantastic. After that, THEN it went to crap
Couldn’t agree more. Steve was Genesis’s secret weapon.
I do like Duke but agree about Steve's departure as a pivotal point.
No Hackett, no Genesis. In 2021 I rather go watch Steve live that Collins who sits in the chair with Mike and Tony. Saw him in Helsinki 2019 and this years too, great live act !
Plus you can see Steve 3 or 4 times for the same money.
One of my favorite guitarists/musicians, he now is showing how personal and human his music is. Makes me like him and his music even more.
Been a fan of Genesis since Nursery Crimes..they played Friars in Aylesbury often then . What a pleasant Talented and unarrogant man Steve Hackett is.
He played the "new' Friars in 2022.
Such a monster guitar player but at the same time, a real down to earth gentleman with no ego at all, Steve Hackett is the true definition of a first class who's made some of the finest music ever. Nothing but love and respect for one of the best who's ever lived
Class act in every sense of the word.
"a bit like parading your homework in front of people." That is a very cool summation!
Certainly not underrated but definitely overlooked .. firth of the fifth solo is epic as is blood on the rooftops and many more
A Genius and so down to Earth. Thankyou for every note Sir.
"...this music refuses to die." How true.
This men is incredible in every possible way!
Ohh this is ttuely felt.. interesting- as many times I would cry in a wonderful sadness- as the musical experience - is without lyrics- felt in just the music- your seriously a musician of the heart- a gift from God- and thank you- magic is real with your music.
Steven Hackett ;en mí humilde opinión,nunca debió dejar Genesis,el era el guitarrista líder del grupo.Cuanto hubiera aportado en la música de Genesis,si se hubiera quedado. Gran guitarrista!!!
The video thumbnail says so much. Notice Steve stood slightly away from the others. He knew he was seen as an outsider trying to get into a private members club. Im sure he never regretted leaving Genesis.
Spot on.
Murió Paco de Lucía pero tenemos a este genio vivo y ojalá podamos disfrutar mucho tiempo de su música. Son estilos diferentes, pero ambos enormes artistas y maestros en el difícil arte de tocar la guitarra. Para mi este Steve es un caballero y un autodidacta en su oficio, las dos cosas que fué nuestro querido Paco.
When you have 3 or 4 genius’s in band it eventually doesn’t last. Tony was the main guy. Peter and Steve genius in their own right had to leave to express themselves. They couldn’t have done it with Tony. Mike was like a brother to Tony so stuck around.
Love his words at the ending. Super guy.
I'm always amazed on how his music and his lyrics relate so well in the final writing. On top of that there's always room for all the musical influences he had in his career. That's why his new music is so great !
Who says nice guys dont succeed? saw him and his awesome band back in 2013 a world class guitarist too,sadly after he left Genesis it was apart from a few good moments all down hill
That was for Genesis not Steve! oops
Brilliant.Thank you.
Thanks for sharing! Tremendous guitarist... No doubt, God put His Hand over the shoulder of Steve.
MARIO GMK True
No one writes good music when they are happy
Interesting......kinda agree!
Marco, your comment is so off base. Steve was extremely successful as a solo artist and his homage to Genesis has been extremely well received. what do you have against him? he's a tremendous artist, if you don't appreciate it's truly your loss.
You know you could've tapped on his name in the replies and told him
Great advice about lyrics and the importance of following your honesty.
He had, and has, some amazing ideas!
Awesome. He is The Fountain Of Salmacis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best thing steve done leaving genesis wouldn't let him put alot of his idea.s over time into the music dont think really hit off with tony dont think he.d have stopped anyway moving to a pop band although they were still great live band steve carries on the music and makes great material of his own great band he.s got now brilliant live
Grande Steve...ho visto un suo concerto alla...miniera della musica...teatro delle rocce Gavorrano..Toscana Italy..meraviglioso...
Dos grandes figuras con la misma humildad, algo tan escaso en nuestros días.
Great musician!
You are a great man!
Genesis were over after ‘Duke’.
Abacab had a handful of decent tracks, and the subsequent albums each had a good song or 2...but yeah Duke was the last time Genesis actually made a good album.
Good to hear what the hell everyday was about at last lol
and.. i sometimes want to say- Steve I just want to hear your stuff' that stuff is great all on its own, yes with has it special place - but you alone, like your solos, wow- perfect
Some of us LIKE the 'looked up in books' stuff - its a breath of fresh air because its different - everyone is writing agonised personal stuff, which is fine but don't criticise Genesis for doing what they did, if you don't like it, don't listen to them!
His work in Genesis experience was terrific. With Tony Banks he was the soul of the band.
Very nice man... HACKETT... Irish
... love the mug ....
He is definitely not underrated, has influenced many generations of guitarists/musicians and was a pioneer of experimental music. fatally, steve never appears in the popular top 100 lists of the best guitarists of all time. What blindness and ignorance on the part of those compiling these lists. For me he is at least in the top 10!
What a journey he had.....has
Yes he's still going all right.🤣
Wish he stayed in Genesis, his playing snd songwriting were greatly needed, ATTWT had a lot of weak spots, ie Ballad of Big and Scenes, which would have been better served by Racing in A and maybe Clocks, Kim
Great and underrated guitar player..

So impressed with Steve's musical genius and his guitar playing.
Class act in every sense of the word.
Eu sigo Genesis desde o inicio incrível o conhecimento de musica para aquela época Sul do Brasil
Kate Wilson : With Gabriel they do TLLDOB. With Collins they do TOTT. Gabriel was the driving force of early Genesis.
Jerlin Vinso that's not really the case, Rutherford and Banks were like Lennon and McCartney in Genesis. They wrote most of the music and a great deal of the lyrics i.e. Watcher Of The Skies and The Light Lies Down On Broadway are Rutherford Banks pieces, music and lyrics. TOTT is more a continuation of what Genesis were doing before TLLDOB if you listen to their catalogue. Some of The Lamb really isn't that great, all of TOTT is sublime, they hit some new highs with TOTT.
Why do people always assume the lead singers are the main driving force of a band ffs? Banks and Rutherford wrote nearly everything on all the 70s Genesis albums.
Love this video, very informative. BUT whoever responsible for the texting should redo the work or just delete it. When it contains that much errors it it more confusing than helping.
Was it Kim who had the drug problem?
She did some great watercolors...
And the collage on Steve's second album...
Peace on earth...
He married before Kim so it's someone else. Maybe even before his first marriage, which was when he was very young. Maybe 19 or 20.
He met Kim after The Lamb I think. She was around at a Cambridge gig back in 1988. A very glamorous woman.
Such a shame he left when he did another two albums would av been nice
Mute all ads and look away!
Steve left Genesis because he couldn't hack it any more!
He watched the demand for The Musical Box band and wanted that coin too.
Genesis fans lament Peter Gabriel's departure as the moment the band came apart, but in my opinion, the moment Steve left is the moment Genesis started it's slow decline into "Invisible Touch/I Can't dance"mediocrity. At least with Steve there, Tony had an ally to keep Mike and Phil from going full pop.
The decline started when Peter left, and it was not slow.. from a 5 star band to a 4 star is pretty steep and it just got steeper when Steve left too.
I think "A Trick of the Tail" and "Wind and Wuthering" stand up pretty well as very good Genesis recordings. But after that, it started going downhill rapidly. This is a clear indicator of how important Steve Hackett was to the band.
Tony Banks was the major contributor of Genesis in terms of musical composition. When he changed style Genesis went downhill. Hackett composed little in Genesis but had a great influence in term of sound
Korrekt, ich denke genau so. Gabriel war für mich zu der Zeit bei Genesis schlicht ein Spinner, (In gutem Sinne). Als Hackett dann ging war Genesis aussagemäßig, für mich, tot!
No, I think it was the changing musical climate of the times that led them towards pop. Prog rock just wasn't fashionable in the late seventies. It happened with most of their peers as well.
Sarebbe molto gradita una traduzione in italiano
Steven Hackett = Genius and irreplaceable member of Genesis.
They survived and thrived after the departure of Peter Gabriel. Upon Steven's departure, not so. Although successful moving forward, Genesis was never as good. JMHO!!!
Para mí la verdadera grieta entre los distintos Genesis no es el de Gabriel o el de Collins. La partida de Hackett obligo a Génesis a convertirse en otra banda.
i am a huge genesis fan and i know what people mean about the depth and quality of the seemingly two types of genesis, And There Were Three was a brilliant album but not a patch on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and Calling All Stations was lamentable but i can't listen to Steve Hackett on his own for long without succumbing to teduim feelings, the ones with his brother on flute aren't too bad - the songs are just not interesting enough.
Tribute was a fabulous album (hardly ever off my player in the car) i would love him to do another classical guitar album.
Like it or not Tony Banks was the driving force behind Genesis, along with Peter Gabriel a close second, you can't continue to create interesting Prog Rock forever and Peter killed Genesis by trying to pursue a career in film and leaving the band but i think that this was prompted by the 'well running dry'.
Peter's solo work was arguably better than any of the other Genesis band members efforts although i do like Brand X.
I wonder how many Genesis fans have got all the albums by each Genesis member? Steve on his own must have made over 20 albums.
IndiaRubber Man Steve’s solo albums were quantity over quality I’m afraid. His first three albums were class but his 80s output onwards mehhhh🤮
I went into the new, huge HMV in Newcastle in 1995 and there were at least 14 CD albums under Anthony Philips alone!
You got out at the right time , Steve . The crap they produced after you left tells us everything we need to know about the three man era .
Genesis was in essence always a 'keyboard band' .Guitar was mainly additional. They didn't want to change that concept.First of Fifth is the only really proper guitar solo on a Genesis album.
Then what was The Knife and Musical Box?
Proper guitar solo? There were many great guitar solos that Hackett played on Genesis records. And then there was all of that doubling up with the keys.
Add to that Steve's impressive classical guitar technique. His effects and ornamentations on electric guitar that created tons of atmosphere.
His use of tapping 7 years before the Van Halen explosion. Sound effects not too much unlike what Vai would do 12 years later.
Hackett orchestrated with his playing. He had more imagination than most rock guitar players I could think of. He is right there with Page, May and Howe.
On top of that Genesis used LOTS of guitars to create their trademark early sound. Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford. Even Tony Banks played acoustic guitars to add counterpoint accompaniment to what Ant, Mike and Steve would play. Listen to Trespass, Nursery, Foxtrot, Selling England, Trick and Wind.
If you want solos by Hackett, listen to Musical Box, Salmacis, Hogweed, Suppers Ready, Can Utility, Moonlit Knight, Firth, Dance on a Volcano and more.
His playing on Wind and Wuthering and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is absolutely brilliant.
The interviewer is too much on the forefront.
Is that a joke? Lol.

R.I.P.
I never fully understood Steve's fans, in a way they are as contradictory as he is. They bemoan the fact that he was shortchanged and confined in the band which is partly true, then they go saying everything went downhill for the band when Steve left, as if he had been a major contributor which was truly not the case.
Why do you think he did a solo album? Because Tony and he argued so much. Banks had too much say and often stymied Steve's contribution.
@@swinetrek Again, that is imo, a history rewriting exercise. They came from the Lamb where the main frictions where still between Tony and Peter. I would concede that the keyboards often buried Steve's guitars but up to that point Steve was not much of a songwriter. He has said it so many times himself, in a string of interviews throughout the years. When they recorded Trick, he was a bit barren of ideas, having just released his album, again, straight from the horse's mouth and on W&W he was finally more involved as a songwriter. To be clear and again, according to band members' statements, it wasn't only Tony, neither Phil, nor Mike were particularly crazy about the material he would bring in.
To this day, Hackett remains humble about his contributions to Genesis. The proof is in listening to the music. There is no doubt that Hackett added much needed depth to their music.
Steve is grateful for being a part of the musical legacy of the band.
Genesis was not Steve's baby. It was Peter, Tony, Mike and in the 80's, Phil. I don't blame anyone for Steve leaving the band. It was bound to happen. Just like Peter needing to leave. They were following their own muse.
what is the point of revisiting Genesis since 1996? Gaining some more money using someone else's songs?
If people want to pay for it , there's no problem. And since royalties are paid, nobody complains. For my taste only a couple of songs have been re-worked to sound better than the original, but as much as I love this music, I'd have no problem paying the full price for just those two (Horizons and Blood on the rooftops).
Well the other Genesis guys have no interest in playing these old songs. The old Genesis is what people want to hear, not the 80s pop stuff. Hackett's Genesis Revisited tours have done pretty well. Plus he releases more new original material than the rest of them combined.
As both a huge "old" Genesis fan and also a big Steve Hackett fan, I think both camps should be thankful that he is still working so hard. Whether he is doing his original material, or classic Genesis music (of which he was an integral member and songwriter, after all) it all spells some of the most superlative and transcending music in the world.
tony banks in fact does not complain :). Would you go to Steve concert if you knew he played only his stuff from 2000 and after?
Yes but as an artist he goes on and makes concert mainly because he
plays old stuff of the band he wanted to leave because he was not free.
At the end he is still a former member of Genesis and not Steve Hackett.
He was not able to build a new audience on his own. His audience is
mainly old Genesis fans disappointed by the fact Genesis turned into
something else, disbanded etc. Glad he is still on the road.
Overrated
i know you are
Idiot
Sorry I didn't get your name or repertoire!
I take it you haven’t been listening to Steve since 1975. He earned his place in rock history.
