Mike Rutherford Agrees With Hackett's Criticism Of Genesis Documentary


. (Classic Rock) Mike Rutherford says Genesis agreed with Steve Hackett when he said documentary film Together And Apart was a "biased account" of the band's history.

He's revealed they demanded changes after seeing the first edit to give him more screen time. But he rejects the idea that Hackett has any reason to feel marginalised from the band he left in 1977.

Rutherford tells TeamRock: "The BBC documentary was a nice thing to do, although I know it upset Steve, and I tend to agree with him. I emailed him to say that.

"That wasn't our fault. We weren't entirely in charge. The first cut was shocking - Steve was barely in anything. So we said it wasn't right and he's in the second version a lot more."

Hackett has suggested in the past that there was always some distance between him and the rest of Genesis. Read Rutherford's reaction to that here.
