I mean, she's about as interesting as the wet side of paint. She was no more interesting in person than she is on her tape recorder. "What keeps the precious part precious?" is about the extent of her intelligence. |

Those bastards are talking all at once frequently, too, it's hard to catch some things. :laugh: Thank you! I was on needles and pinsas waiting for the rest. Laura Gross seems nice, she's a little dull, I didn't think too bad. She is pretty good asking them about the process of writing songs. |
Thanks David, you´re a STAR!! I´ve just downloaded this interview and I really love the fact that they let John get a word in for once! :D He´s so funny, and that voice.. WOW, don´t know what to say really.. SOO SEXY, I swear it gives me goose bumps!;) !
|
Thanks for the interview, David. I listened to the first three parts. But I don't know that I can withstand the rest ! She is a dreadful interviewer and every band member comes off as dreary and boring. Were they all on ludes ? Are the other parts any more entertaining ? Chris is the only one engaged at all. Though it is a shock to hear John speak.:laugh:

Yep. That's it. Most heaviest thing I do. I think they said a few interesting things, but they were all talking at once so we didn't hear it. :rolleyes: |
These are great, thanks David!!!
Christine says there is "no fanatical kind of vibe" from the audience ... fast forward to the SYW tour ...... Lindsey says he tries to make everyone's songs "unique" .... I love it. That is totally what he does. Lindsey said "sex!" Lindsey said "sex!" The interviewer needs some more journalism classes .... dear God! |

Firstly thank you David for posting this. I am still listening to all the sections.
Does anyone know/have an opinion on whether John was being serious with his "shut up you cow" comment? Personally if he was joking I didn't think it was funny and if he wasn't joking well it's no wonder she left him. Prat Gail |

thank you so much posting this!!! i had never heard it before. hmmm, there was something, uh, not organic about the questions laura gross asked. it seemd as if she had nothing to talk about from the beginning and was hoping that the band would just carry on their own discussion.
anyway, i also didn't find john's comments to be funny in the slightest, even if it was supposed to be a joke. when he said christine was the reason he kept drinking, that was just plain mean. i think she covered up well though. if it had been me, much yelling would have ensued. |
DIE LAURA GOSS THREAD! DIE!:lol:

I think this little exchange was an obvious indication of where they were at marriage-wise-- kind of a tense place. I don't see how they could have been 'joking/fooling around'; LB's interjection and Stevie's nervous laughter sort of indicate that everyone felt a bit uncomfortable. But how many people have their not so flattering marital tiffs caught on tape to be heard by others forever? They'd probably be embarrassed if they heard that exchange today. But y'know...they were human. Part of FMac's appeal. ;) -Lis |

I think it highlights John's problems at the time. I heard John described once as being very gentle when he was sober but a completely different person when he was drunk. It must have been very difficult for her to have to put up with and as for his comment that she drove him him to it well John should have been ashamed of himself. (Actually I imagine he probably was) Gail |
To me, it SOUNDS like John's joking. But then Lindsey's "John" makes me think that maybe he wasn't. And, the "drive me to drink" remark, makes me think he'd probably had a few, and just wasn't holding anything back.
Can you imagine being in the same room constantly, with someone you've broken up with, and probably still have feelings for? I don't know how they did it. |
I think they were all tired, having spent many weeks laying down the last tracks, & essentially joking around with the press reports that fall & winter about the problems within the band. The band was high profile that fall in newspapers because of the romantic breakups. The album was late, too. I doubt we're hearing an actual fight in the presence of an interviewer (who, by the way, addresses the atmosphere of this interview ten years later when she was talking to the band again). I think we're just hearing five tired rock stars who are looking forward to breaking for the holidays.

John, if you're around, listen to this MP3 & then tell us what you think.
Those were crazy, hazy times, I bet! |

I love Interviews-
Thanks for posting these David- I just enjoyed about 20 min of my old favorite band- Fleetwood Mac, and that is always a pleasure.!!
Perhaps the Interviewer was rather dull and the members were rather "burnt-out" but it was still fun to listen to everyone expound on silly questions and offer different methods of how they come about their writing and studio vs. live ideas... however, the genuine laughter between the 5 fireflies...is what made me smile... In retrospect, it is like they,the band, realized that the realationships within the band were going to change...further on down the road. (The animosity that grew between S and L- the spite /overusage money/drugs/emotions /alcohol/privledges/power/prestige/ etc....just ALL of it) ... And, during this interview, I precieve that it was still a somehat innocent group, believing in their music and the "vibe" . Regardless of the interactions and fractions that were occuring at the same time. Thanks again for sharing- Once again, you are awesome:xoxo: |
I can't get the first part of the interview to work. Is anyone else having problems?
|
Thanks David!
