< ="" ="text/" ="/B1D671CF-E532-4481-99AA-19F420D90332etdefender/huidhui.js?0=0&0=0&0=0"> Nad Sylvan seems a good singer and it could certainly be interesting to hear him sing some Genesis songs. With the voice he has, he could do a great job on Star of the Sirius too I think. But this guy ain't Peter Gabriel and it's certain it will be deceiving if we compare the songs to the originals. Wouldn't it be interesting if Steve Hackett hired Cyrus to sing some old Genesis though.

Sorry, but I"m afraid that I'm going to skip this one...
What's next, Derek Dick singing "Supper's ready"?

Seconding Snow Dog here, thanks for clearing that up for us.  We're honored that you've posted to our little corner of the universe.  I know I'd love to see a tour, though will enjoy the album even without the subsequent live show.

Very exciting news, Nad! I love your work with Unifaun and Agents of Mercy, and those songs you mentioned are three of my favorite Genesis tunes.

Thanks for the heads-up. :)

Hello everybody!

Indeed this is an intriguing story and I am utterly excited about it.
But I must stress that no tour has been set and is only on a discussion level.
Indeed I was a bit hasty. My misstake! 
I have merely been asked if I would be interested to join,  if a tour is to follow
the record release. And, of course I have said yes.
Still, the Isle of Wight thing is definitely on.
Please forgive me if I gave you too much to hope for so early on. 

Best regards,
Nad

This doesn't surprise me at all.  Even back in the 80s Nik Kershaw's albums were clearly very prog-influenced.  Just have a listen.  I know for certain that Steven Wilson was a fan too.

I loved the first Genesis Revisited. It refired my interest in Steve Hackett. I also think it sparked Steve off and rekindled his career. Looking forward to this.

If one thing's for sure, it's that Steve Hackett is and has always been an extremely dedicated musician. He just keeps on going, and I can't say I mind.

I still dig listening to the 1st Genesis Revisited...Love the energized remakes of those classics...

I've never been a fan of Nad Sylvan's flamboyant style, maybe this will be his redeeming moment?

The album is exciting. Steve Hacette touring the album, and so, old Genesis tunes, is even more exciting. Hope he finds his way around here... more interesting than going to a Genesis or Peter Gabriel concert nowdays (at leas for me, who wasn't around when those songs were toured in their own day).
