Rutherford's humbleness is awesome. How can one band have so many nice men that were a part of Genesis. Very exceptional.

[georgelewis]

Mike is such a talented and humble human being!

[Wayner]

I love these Genesis interviews. They are relaxational for me. Cheers.

[johnv]

Mike is so funny. There's something about him that is just so mellow, forthcoming and polite. It's like if some sweet librarian were a rock musician. Love the guy.

I love all his bass lines of the 70’s area ❤

Rutherford was huge in the overall with the Genesis of the (Collins, Hackett) era. He was a man's man. His bass was deeply moving IMHO.

I think the Revelation album is far from a failure, it's a wonderful album to say the least. Great interview.

[Cap]

Thanks John. Great questions. Great answers.

[trebsscan]

There are 10 questions there....hahahahha like it... he dont mind being interviewed....he has done so many....he will keep doing many more...as will the other 4....

Thanks for updating, John, Mike is the most difficult member to interview, as his boundaries seldom come down. And it would obviously kill him to give Steve too much credit, lol. Thanks for persevering with him though; although it seemed he didn't want to be there, he gave some great insights into how he writes songs here.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend John ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊 also Canada day is Monday

[CharlesSlane]

Bizarre that Steve Hackett's earlier contributions are hardly mentioned at all - it's like Mike wants to erase him from Genesis completely.

Is this recent? My favorite bassist ever. This has to be old. "Get em out by Friday" Good Lord.

I talked to a guy last night who saw the Lamb tour. It still sticks in his head as one of the best shows he ever saw. For later fans who got into old Genesis, even the fans who saw that tour are legendary, reporters who can tell what it was like.

[philipbunney]

The more I think about it, Mike R is an incredible songwriter/musician with such variety. He could go heavy (Squonk- Man of our Times) he could be romantic (Harlequin - More fool me - Alone Tonight) & he could be pop (The Mechanics).

15:29 Mike's Pickettywitch moment!👍👍

To be fair I kind of hate the drums on Home by the Sea too. if its NOT a drum machine it might as well be, and it really ruins what is an excellent song otherwise. Great lyrics, great singing, great atmosphere, great chords, and then its like "well, just switch on the drum machine and see what it does 'boom, da boom boom', well, thats good enough." And in a band that has Phil Collins its almost like saying to the audience "this is phil collins, one of the greatest rock drummers of our he's taking a dump so we'll switch on the new 'drum o matic 5000, thats good enough for you lot". For a casual listener the drums at first sound cool in that 'manufactured' sense, but then you realize unlike Cinema Show, there's a whole other world just for the percussion.
