Is Steve Hackett still on good terms with his ex-Genesis bandmates?
Just wondering. I'm pretty sure Peter is, as he attended Genesis's last show in 2022, with Phil, Mike, and Tony, but I'm wondering if Steve is still friendly with them.

I'd like to know more about what he used on GNR's albums. I already know all about Slash's guitars; his Derrig Les Paul and all the others. I do know that he used an ES-175 on the majority of Appetite for Destruction, if not all of the album. I think he used a Les Paul Custom on the Like a Suicide EP, and I also saw him with a Telecaster during the Use Your Illusion era. Does anybody have any more info?
Just curious. I doubt that he's going to rejoin GNR, even for a one off, but I was wondering if he's at least friendly with Axl, Slash, Duff, Steven, and the others?
I understand that around the time Metallica did RTL, he had both the Rickenbacker and an Alembic Spoiler which was later stolen from him. I wonder if the Alembic was used on a few songs on the album, or if it was all the Rickenbacker?
Could anyone tell me what's the reason for that blood curdling scream at the tail end of Thing Beyond Things; the last song on Ocean Machine: Biomech? I don't see what the purpose of that was...other than to simply scare people to death.
Christine seemed like she was on good terms with John and the others by the time she passed. Lindsey's ouster from FM in 2018 made me think that he and Stevie were going back to the bad blood that they had in the '70s and '80s, but I wonder if they're at peace with each other now?
Just asking out of curiosity. I highly doubt that he will ever rejoin Marillion, but I just wonder if he's at least friendly with his former bandmates?
Just asking out of curiosity. I do hear that Brian felt very uneasy about it; even before the Manson Murders.
I do know that he used a BC Rich Assassin or When Dreams and Day Unite, and then switched to Ibanez, which he used until 2001, and has been playing Music Man guitars since then. But I'd like to know more about his guitars. Is that all he used? Are there any guitars that he used in the studio that he never used live, or vice versa?
He had so many throughout his life, but I'll go with Eminence Front as of now.
I never met them, but some people say that Sting has a bit of an ego, but he doesn't seem too bad. Stewart seems pretty cool. Dunno about Andy.
Hard to pick just one for me, but I'll just say for now that it's a tossup between Limelight, Freewill, and YYZ.
Of course, he's mostly know for playing a MusicMan Stingray, but I also hear that he used a P-Bass on Powerage, and I also saw more recent photos of him with P-Basses. There are some sources that say that he used one of the first ever Steinberger headless basses on Back in Black! Dunno if this is true, but I also hear that he used a Jazz Bass on The Razor's Edge. I also saw him with a non-reverse Thunderbird; did he use that on any recordings, or just live? Are there any other basses that he used in the studio?
I am aware that he's mostly associated with the Fender Jazz Bass, though I heard that he also used an early '50s Precision bass on Black Dog and an 8-string Hagstrom on "Achilles Last Stand". I'm also aware that he used Alembics live for the most part from 1975-1980, yet I hear that he kept using his Jazz Bass in the studio. Is that true? Did he use any other basses in the studio?
I know all about the animosity that they had towards each other in the mid '80s, which lead to their breakup. Though they reunited in '07, I'm not holding my breath for another reunion, but I was just wondering if they still speak to each other?
I always imagined that he used his black Strat on "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and his white LP Custom on "New Year's Day". I might be wrong, maybe he used other guitar on the song. His Explorer might be on a few tracks.
For me it's Rosanna.
For me, it's hard to choose, but I'll go with In Bloom
I assume that they mostly used what their main guitars were at the time; Billy his "Bat Strat" and James his Silverburst Les Paul Custom. I heard that James used a Jaguar on some bits on the album, likely for some of the clean sections. Does anybody know what else they used?
I'd like to know more about what he used on DD's '80s albums? I'm aware that early on, he used a Yamaha SG model, and I assume that's what he used both the debut and Rio. I'm guessing that Seven the Ragged Tiger was a Schecter Tele that he used quite a lot during their heyday, and he probably used that on some of the songs they did with him later on. Is that all he used? Are there any guitars that he used in the studio in the '80s that he never used live?
