I think he enjoyed it, and appreciated the fact that I knew what I was talking about. I faked it just right!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looking forward to the inevitable theater release of Almost Famous 2: The Rodrigo Story. :ebert: Yeah, that would be an amazing story. Brad Pitt wanted to play me, but I think we need someone prettier. Pitt’s not good enough! As I told you many times before, Antonio Banderas as Rod! ...but now he’s too old for you. So currently I’m going with Edgar Ramirez. Good stuff with the interview! :hail: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Rooooood!!!!!!! Fantastico. I love the interview. Absolutely a pro job. My favourite part is where you safely found a way to sail round the reunion question. That was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 So now you all have heard me speak and have seen me on video. For those of you with whom I interact a lot here: do I look/talk like you expected? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminW Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Did Hackett happen to play any of his acoustic stuff, like from Momentum or A Midsummer Night's Dream? I have those two albums, and they're awesome! No, he only used an acoustic guitar in the intro of certain Genesis songs.*cough* The Cinema Show *cough* Great song though.

blueschica Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So now you all have heard me speak and have seen me on video. For those of you with whom I interact a lot here: do I look/talk like you expected? I said that to my husband last night when I was watching the Hackett interview! I said, "I don't know how it worked out but Rod's voice sounds like I thought it would!" :) :) And you sound polished and professional- there are interviewers in the US here that could learn from your technique. Great job on the interview- I enjoyed it a lot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on the interview- I enjoyed it a lot! Wow, thanks!!!! I´m still learning this as I do it...in some cases I find myself interrupting the artists a little bit, so I need to work a little bit on that. But your compliment means a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Rod, I just watched the interview, and I cannot tell you how good it is - Great job !! You lead Steve with your great questions and Steve took it and ran with it .. He opened up and every bit was extremely interesting.. It is obvious that Steve was very comfortable and you provided him a great vibe- you got him to cover a lot of ground and I loved what he said about the importance of staying current with writing new music and at the same time not giving up on your past accomplishments ... He's definitely not just living on his name, and the fact that he continues to put out new material is what it is all about being an artist ... He one of a handful of greats who have aged very well A+ Rod, great stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod, you did great, believe me - and I think you impressed Steve by having a great deal of knowledge of his entire career .. I am the same way with seeing pictures / videos of myself or hearing my voice played back, so don't worry about the way you came across on the video ... I think we have the habit of being WAY too hard on ourselves when there is absolutely nothing to worry about .. The chemistry was great and Steve was a gentleman and a great guest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck, I am the same way ... and my voice too It is painful, and it goes all the way back to the 80s when everyone started getting answering machines for the phone .. My friend Ralph was relentless with this - I'd call him and he'd intentionally not answer so I'd leave a message - and when I went to his house, he'd leave me for a minute standing there alone, and then he'd playing the message that Id just left - loud enough for everyone to hear .. And video is even worse !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think that people who are obsessed with selfies have self esteem issues... I'm generalizing of course, but that's what it seems like to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
