Steve Hackett is such a true class act, amazing guitar player, great composer and an all round gentleman. Nothing but love and respect for one of the true legends of the prog rock genre

S. Hackett is someone who plays with sincerity.. He's in it for the marathon as he cleverly puts it..

Thanks, John. I've been a huge Steve Hackett (and Chris Squire) fan for over 40 years. It's great to hear these interviews. I look forward to them.

“Their [Beatles] virtuosity was in the songwriting department.” I’ve always felt this way, and beat myself up for not having the chops in the instrumental sense (fast improvisation). Steve offered other great thoughts. Thanks, Steve. Love ALL of this interview.

I loved Chris's story about meeting Hendrix at the Marquee. Also, his funny story about how his famous Rickenbacker bass kept getting shaved down after each time he decorated it! Re Steve: I remember buying his album 'Momentum' in 1988. Great album.

I love Squackett, some wonderful playing by Steve and Chris as always is on fire.

Hackett Just collaborated with squire and howe. That is the magic of great music

[briano.]

One of my favorite guitar players sharing stories about my absolute favorite bass player!
Steve is definitely a class act.

Nice interview. Not really familiar with Steve but was thinking of Chris less than 10 minutes ago when a suggested vid here was a tour of The Rickenbacker factory. From 9 years ago so passed for now but did bring up a sorta funny memory.
In the '80s, i read a guitar magazine interview (GP or GW) with Chris. There he shared a story about visiting the Ric factory and they were happy to see him and had something to show him.
He was thinking 'wow, i'm gonna get an award or something'.
Nope, it was a walk to a room filled with basses in for fret repair. All these guys took off the flat wound strings in favor of RotoSound round wound strings like Chris used ! Seem to recall it was warranty work but not sure.
Fan of Yes since '72 and Fragile. Saw them at Winterland for "Tales...". I went there 10 or 15 times. This was the only show i saw that had quadraphonic sound, a set of speakers left and right 2/3 up the floor on scaffolds. Pretty great.

Man, I hope I get the chance to see him at some point. I have really enjoyed his recent video commentaries on his early material.

[mtradz]

Such a great guy so open and honest in these interviews I love this series John!!

[jbytuna]

Thank you very much for this interview.

[davebellamy]

It's amusing that Steve says that Chris liked his wine and in their interview together, Chris has wine while Steve has a mug of coffee or tea.

[ProgFanification]

Thanks for these interviews... documenting history!

With all due respect to Steve Hackett, Chris Squire died of a rare form of leukemia. It is not alcohol induced.

[brianjlevine]

I blinked and missed the part about Chris.

[kevinogracia]

Always cool... Hackett is the shezackett.. Hah...
