Classic Rock Report: Still No Genesis Reunion And John Lennon Arrives In An AP

In an age of music where the past means more than the present. Every band long forgotten seems to be getting back together. Except Genesis. Guitarist Steve Hackett says, "Highly improbable.” Which totally goes against what Peter Gabriel told Rolling Stone magazine two years ago. While Phil Collins is still unofficially retired. Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford are ready to re-blend what made them friends. Hackett currently plays with Genesis Revisited. He says he still enjoys the music. “The songs have been very good to me,” he said. “They’ve been constant companions, and I really do love them and I’m very, very proud of them and it feels wonderful to be able to play a few notes of something and instantly it’s recognized.” In October 2012, he released ‘Genesis Revisited II‘; the ‘Genesis Revisited: Live at Hammersmith’ CD and DVD is planned for Oct. 29. Hackett is also touring through mid-October with Genesis Revisited. After Gabriel left the band in 1975, the closest the members have come to a reunion was in 1999, when they recorded a new version of ‘The Carpet Crawlers’ for a hits compilation.
