Deep Claustrophobia Led Guitarist Steve Hackett To Leave Genesis
Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett has been going strong since his exit from the band in 1977. During his tenure with the group they produced their most iconic prog classics like "The Musical Box" from the album "Nursery Cryme" (1971), the 23-minute "Supper's Ready" from "Foxtrot"(1972), and arguably their best album "Selling England by the Pound" the following year.

GTR were a British supergroup rock band founded in 1985 by former Yes and Asia guitarist Steve Howe and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. Though the band's leaders were known as progressive rock musicians, GTR appealed to AOR radio stations. The band lasted for two years and one album. Hackett subsequently criticized the project, though not necessarily the other musicians involved in it.
The band's name came from an abbreviation of "guitar" used by recording studios for labelling guitar tracks. (Wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTR_(band)
