AV Rant TechCast #2: Genesis Guitarist Daryl Stuermer Interview

Gene interviews Genesis “permanent part time member” Daryl Stuermer who has played lead guitar for the band on live performances for over 30 years. Daryl discusses how it was getting back together with the boys after a nearly 15 year sabbatical. Gene grills Genesis on their not-so-enthusiastic performance at VH-1 Rock Honors and the selection of boy band Keane doing a tribute song, but later hails their 2007 tour performance. Daryl discusses Phil Collins’ unique signature sound both in vocals and behind the drum kit while Gene wishes he could play drums like Phil. The 2007 Europe/USA tour was a smashing success, so much so that fans were demanding more shows at the end while Daryl was also ready to keep going. Also discussed in this podcast is sound quality in recordings (or lack thereof these days).  Gene makes a compelling argument to Daryl about re-releasing his collection in a higher res, less compressed format such as SACD. 

But the burning questions on everyones mind is:  Will Genesis tour again soon? What about a new CD?
