I love the bit at 12:13 where he covers his left eye giving one-eyed symbolism.

Just downloaded the new one. Can't wait to listen to it! I've been a fan since 1972.

Excellent interview John. Great to see Steve happy and still going strong.

I went to Grammer school with Phil Collins, he was a year ahead of me, we had some very creative school kids back then early to late 60's, Coincidentaly like Phil I also went to a Drama acadamy at the same time as he joined his mothers Barbara Speake Stage School.

Always great to see Steve Hackett. Saw his show live back in October, just amazing. Thanks for the interview.

I've seen quite a few of these interviews with Steve regarding the new album, but I think you drew more out of him than most of the other interlocutors, John. Mind you, he's a pretty friendly, open character, and treats it as a two-way process rather than someone deigning to allow people to ask questions of him. And congratulations to Steve for coming straight in at No 9 in the midweek UK album chart. I wonder if the young man imagined that happening in 2024 at the time he left Genesis? 👏👏👏

He really warmed up after the first couple of minutes. He just needed to get started. He even talked about Kim a bit. Thank you for a great interview.

Fantastic!!

Great interview and happy that M. Hackett still doing great music! 😎

Very interesting interview and Hackett comes across as a reasonable and sensible guy. I can imagine he and Tony Banks did not get on ?

What a great interview! 😎😎

Very entertaining and illuminating interview - his explanation/ reminiscences on the background for that line "When his boots hit the ground, he's taking you down" is amazingly funny and beautifully worded. The laid-back charm and sense of comic timing remind me of Chris Squire's classic account of his first meeting with Jimi Hendrix (also here on YT). 😃🎸

Fantastic interview! Thanks John!

Saw his show last night in Pompano Beach just brilliant!

Dare I say it reading between the lines, taking on board Steve's eloquent diplomacy, and some subjective observations with a smidgeon of research. Steve mentions his first wife who was very attractive ad also a talented artist. Yes she did commendably create many of his album covers and also wanted him to stay in Genesis perhaps longer than Steve would have liked to, given his reference in this interview to wanting more autonomy (Mr. Banks please take note here). Thankfully A Trick of the tale and Wind and wuthering are masterpieces giving Ms Poor some credit for her efforts to keep Steve in the band. Thus we have two albums that are much better than many Genesis albums that followed Then there were three. Ms Poor has from the legal history I am aware of, appeared to have subsequently benefited substantially from Steve's work. It seems a bizarre coincidence given it seems legal gagging orders not allowing Steve to elaborate, that she did also end up with his ex manager who one can only speculate must have thought a lot of Ms Poor whilst her and Steve were still officially a couple. At the end of the day I guess the most important thing is that Steve is happy and still able to make wonderful music. His new biographical album suggests he has found a contentment both personally and musically . I hope to see Steve performing with the Hungarian act Djabe this summer. providing evidence of just that

nice vid john.i would say 'Get em out' is not a classic, but i digress...
