Based on the Genesis video documentaries I have, he is a pretty 
miserable human being, as are the remaining two. They actually had 
the nerve to say that Steve Hackett is a great guitarist, but his 
composing skills aren't very good. This was not long after Hackett 
abandoned the sinking ship and was composing music that was far 
superior to anything they were writing.
