Steve Hackett has revealed he is open to playing with prog rock legends Genesis again if the band ever reforms.

One evening during the summer of 1998, a group of friends met for dinner in the discreet private dining room of a fashionable London restaurant.

If you were writing the bible of British progressive rock, you would be well advised to start with the book of Genesis. While the band might be best known for its 1980s and ’90s hits like "Invisible Touch" and "I Can’t Dance," it was the group’s earlier Peter Gabriel-fronted incarnation that initially put Genesis on the map.

Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett insists he didn't ''b***ch'' about anyone when he was reunited with the band for a new BBC documentary.

They were one of the most popular rock groups of the eighties.

So it's fitting that Phil Collins headed a reunion of chart-toppers Genesis in central London on Thursday (Oct 2, 2014).

Genesis' classic The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway era lineup reunited on October 2nd to attend the red carpet premiere of Genesis: Together and Apart, a BBC documentary that focuses on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame prog-turned-pop rock band's history.

Genesis are best known these days for their string of glossy pop hits in the ’80s. But their rock cred stretches back further than the hitmaking Tony Banks / Phil Collins / Mike Rutherford era.

Genesis co-founder Mike Rutherford didn’t often return to moments with old band during this year’s tour with Mike and the Mechanics. In fact, over a nearly two-hour set, Rutherford included no more than three Genesis tracks.

Steve Hackett, who still nurtures a lasting affinity for classical music, has leapt headlong back into prog rock – putting the finishing touches on a collaboration with Yes co-founder Chris Squire, even as he begins work on an album that will reexamine his celebrated tenure as guitarist with Genesis.
