Hackett talks Revisited II, Touring and Life – September 3rd 2012
TEJ: So is it a Genesis album in the 21st Century?
SH: Well that’s a very good way of putting it I think. Usually to get a certain guitar sound I will sometimes use fixed Wah (Pedal) but there is Wah going on I am using it on certain notes and phrases on that, as does Roine Stolt. Funny enough on ‘Return of the Giant Hogweed’ sung by Neil Morse, I let him (Roine) do the guitar solo on that.
TEJ: Dancing with the Moonlit Knight was gorgeous as well!
SH: I am pleased with that version I must admit.
TEJ: I felt it had one hand in the past and one hand towards the future but so tasteful.
SH: I tried to be respectful to the arrangements but I am not being a slave to vintage gear, at the moment.
