Well, hey, everyone, it's Nate. This is episode 268 of the Vinyl Guide. Thank you so much for

tuning in and downloading. This is the podcast, of course, for vinyl record collectors and

music maniacs. We try to get the stories of the record on the record, and today we've got a

marvelous show. Mr. Steve Hackett joins us again. This is his

second time on the show. It's always fun to talk to Steve. Now, Steve, as you know, he was a member

of Genesis. But that was about five, six years of his career. And he spent about 30 after that

on his solo projects and various other guest appearances and things

like that. So Steve has quite a history to him. Of course, we're going to talk about Genesis

and get some old stories about that time and talk a little bit about potential Genesis reunions

and his relationship with his former bandmates but also we

talk about his new music we talk about his relationships with other guitarists Eddie Van

Halen Peter Green even talked to him about Brian May apparently Steve is mates with

Brian May and they've spent some time together we also talk a little bit about the

Beatles John Lennon you may or may not know was a fan of. We also talk a little bit about the Beatles. John Lennon, you may or may not know, was a fan of Genesis.

So we talk a little bit about what that was like, being anointed by a beetle.

We talk about a lot of different stuff.

And Steve has a lot going on right now, several releases this year, some of them on vinyl.

He's got some rescheduled touring dates.

All that information and more you can find out at hackettsongs.com. Steve's also got a new book,

A Genesis in My Bed, an autobiography, very entertaining. You could find that online as well,

get the Kindle version, be reading that within moments. And if you enjoy this interview, we've got an extended version, more content, more chit-chat with Steve,
