Dang. I can't choose just one. Countdown, Wrong and Slow Dancing.

ISA from The Dance

5. Your fave guitar section

This is impossible. The ISA solo, if a gun is to my head. LOL

6. Your fave solo album

OOTC

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)

None really, but just for fun, Bwana would have been right at home on Tusk.

1)Angel
2)Hold Me
3)Holiday Road
4)Eyes Of The World (Mirage Tour Video)
5)The Chain Solo
6)OOTC
7)Surrender The Rain

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration
Gypsy - incredible what he did with that, and it's my favorite Stevie song with the Mac.

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration
Hold Me and Little Lies immediately come to mind, but I'll also add Think About Me.

3. Your fave Lindsey video
Tie between Holiday Road and Soul Drifter. He looks better in Soul Drifter and it's a beautiful video, but on the other hand the plot of Holiday Road is so great.

4. Your fave live performance
Shoot, I don't know. The man shines live. I guess I'll go with I'm So Afraid from the '75 video. I love all the anguished "ooo....aaa..."s he adds in.

5. Your fave guitar section
Are we talking live or album? For album.... hmm.... Come is so great on a technical level, but melodically I prefer the end of Gypsy or the solo from The Chain. Red Rover doesn't have a "guitar section" so much as it is all guitar, lol, so I'm not counting that one. Live would again be ISA.

6. Your fave solo album
OOTC by far. Masterpiece!

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)
Hard to say. It's really a matter of where Stevie would go, since he invites everyone else to play on his solo albums, lol. Perhaps Dancin' 'Cross the USA, or On the Wrong Side. I can't really imagine her on any of his album songs. Even then it's not so much that I wish they would be Mac, just that they would have worked with the Mac.

I do hope that if he releases Deep Dense it will be as a Mac song, though. That would be perfect!

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

I can think of so many for this one, but I'm going to say Gypsy too. I'm reminded of a quote of Lindsey's, where he talks about Gypsy as a song he had a great deal of freedom with and how there's really so much going on beneath Stevie's very simple melody. I've heard Stevie's early piano demos of Gypsy, and this one was lost without him.

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Having not really heard any of Christines songs as "rough demos" (naturally they wouldn't be as rough as Stevie's since Christine is an instrumentalist, but still) I don't really know how much of the arrangement and production on her songs were her ideas, as opposed to Lindsey's. That said, I love Isn't It Midnight and it's probably fair to assume Lindsey had a lot to do with how it turned out.

3. Your fave Lindsey video

Countdown.

4. Your fave live performance

Probably the version of Countdown he did on the Johnboy & Billy radio show. The spunky unplugged version where he vocalized the guitar solo at the end.

5. Your fave guitar section

I'll have to think about this one.

6. Your fave solo album

Law & Order. Oddly, the one it took me longest to fully appreciate.

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)

On The Wrong Side.

Yikes, I have to say I was absolutely cringing when I heard that. Thought he sounded ridiculous! Ah, well. To each her own! :)

I was afraid I might be alone on that one ;). He was in a great mood for the interview and I just thought it was a really fun improvisation.

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Well it would have to be Gypsy for me.


2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

I think World Turning perhaps...

3. Your fave Lindsey video

I always liked Wrong. He was so goofy in that.

4. Your fave live performance

Defintely So Afraid from the Dance DVD. Although with the new Boston DVD coming out, that could change.

5. Your fave guitar section

Probably the solo from the live version of Big Love.

6. Your fave solo album

Outta' the Cradle, of course!

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song

Hmm...probably This is the Time.

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Goodbye Baby

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Brown Eyes

3. Your fave Lindsey video

Countdown

4. Your fave live performance

Come on this tour and NGBA on every other.

5. Your fave guitar section

The end of Gypsy, hands down, though the guitar on Tango In the Night is superb.

6. Your fave solo album

I can't choose between Law & Order and OOTC.

5. Come freakout
6. Out of the Cradle
7. Go Insane

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration
Probably "Dreams".

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration
"Hold Me" or "You Make Loving Fun"

3. Your fave Lindsey video
"Big Love".

4. Your fave live performance
The breathtaking "Big Love" he did on The Dance.

5. Your fave guitar section
This is extremely difficult. I LOVE what he did on "Red Rover" and "Say Goodbye", but I think those are playing too much with the machines or something. As for guitar solos, I would say "Isn't It Midnight", "Go Your Own Way" or "Tango In The Night".

6. Your fave solo album
Out Of The Cradle, since I find the others... well... they're not my cup of tea. Gift Of Screws would have been a better album than Out Of The Cradle, though.

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)
Well "Countdown" sounds like a Fleetwood Mac song. So does "Trouble".



Song of the moment - Twisted

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Thrown Down.

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Think About Me! And Hold Me. And Little Lies. I love Lindsey and Chris collaborations :D

3. Your fave Lindsey video

Well, I've never seen any of his solo videos *glares at VH1 Classic for never showing any when I'm watching*, but I do love the way he looks in the Little Lies, Big Love and Hold Me videos.

4. Your fave live performance

I'm So Afraid from the Dance/Mirage video. And then, the accoustic versions of Go Insane.

5. Your fave guitar section

Damn, this is hard. The ISA solos, the solo at the end of the studio version of Rhiannon, the accoustic guitar in EOTW, the solo on Countdown, the solo on YMLF, the list goes on and on...

6. Your fave solo album

I love all of them, but to me, nothing beats Out of the Cradle. I love Law and Order a lot as well.

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)

Hmmm. Mary Lee Jones might have worked as a FM song, and Soul Drifter might have sounded cool with some SN/CM harmonies.

-Kate

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Frozen Love

2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration

Brown Eyes

Wrong

5. Your fave guitar section

6. Your fave solo album

Go Insane

7. The solo song you would have liked to be a mac song (hope is correct grammar)

5. This is a tough one.....Come, ISA, and Go Your Own Way
6. Go Insane
7. Countdown or Twist of Fate (from GOS)--the last one might come true. A girl can dream. Right?!

1. Sisters Of The Moon
2. Isn't It Midnight
3. Tusk
4. I'm So Afraid
5. I'm So Afraid
6. Out Of The Cradle (would have been GOS!)
7. Gift Of Screws

"Gypsy". Or "Sara". Or "Not Make Believe". Or... *sees hordes of Nicksheads approaching* ;)
"Hold Me". Or "Never Make Me Cry". Or "Oh Daddy". Or... [REPEAT ABOVE PATTERN]
"Wrong", although I loves 'em "Go Insane" and "Countdown" too.
The Mobile, Atlanta 8-1-1980 version of "I'm So Afraid". He doesn't even want to repeat the main riff and he fools around with the verses. The solo doesn't even want to approach the professionalism of the recent versions; it's just continuous emotional flood.
Solo-wise the above-mentioned. Arrangement-wise "Red Rover".
Gift Of Screws, be it released or unreleased. But I they all get the equal number of plays.
Nothing. Screw 'em complaints about mechanical rhythm sections when the energy is coming from other areas. ;)

But Gift of Screws is your fave solo-album. (mine too, I thought that one didn't count.) And that is the ONLY album he made WITH the Mac-rythmsection!!!!!!

So screw them arguments defending mechanical rythmsections because the energy is coming from other areas. Use this rythmsection particularly when the energy is coming from other areas, too! Every other rythmsection in the world will have a conflict with the "other energies". But NOT this one! Gift of Screws just PROVES I'm right. :nod: :cool: ;)

*** Too tired to think about this one. It took me like 20 minutes to remember the title of the This is the Time.

:eek:

What are you anyway, the official questionnaire police? ;)

It is an album because like with modern cds, you can program the tracklisting the way you want it to be and you can also leave stuff out. You just have more choices. It's a puzzle of an album. :p

The anal retentive LB fan department continues here and states that:

- only "Murrow", "Miranda", "Red Rover", "Come" and "Say Goodbye" are Gift Of Screws songs; there were earlier released versions of "Steal Your Heart Away" and "Bleed To Love Her"; "Peacekeeper" and "WTWCT" were not a part of the GOS leak and thus were not part of it until proven otherwise.

- if you want to argue that "SYHA" and "BTLH" are GOS songs, it would still be just 7 tracks out of 22 on SYW, making it a tad less than THIRD of the overall amount of songs.

Got that? ;) :lol: And I am counting the album because it is easily available and has as much work put into it as anything else Lindsey has ever done.

It is my favourite LB solo album because of the general diversity, pointing to everything he's done before and to some semi-new things as well, not because "the groove is unbeatable, man".

I don't mind the mechanical rhythm section of OOTC at all. I think it suits the songs just fine and I daresay that something would be seriously lost if a real rhythm section was to be used on all of them. The same goes to Tusk. The focus is on the guitars & other treatments, not on the band interplay. If you still think the rhythm section is the thing that caused the commercial failure of the album then :rolleyes:. I think a lot of the listeners, especially the target group that Lindsey is supposed to be bowing to, do not care about that at all.

And to add to Sharon's comments in another thread about "perfection being overrated" when it comes to this debate: is it not striving for perfection when Lindsey demands Mick and John to do dozens of takes up to the point where the gentlemen start complaining? ;)

I don't need a real rhythm section for OOTC, just like I don't need it for Suicide's tracks, The Beach Boys' Love You, Can's "Peking O" etc. There's a lot of material where it just wouldn't be appropriate. "Every machine has a humanizing function", after all.

Socialize with others if you may, I will just talk to the computer all day long. ;)

Signature comment:

Lindsey adds: "Now can I sleep with you, you FOOS?" ;)

Of course that's not the reason. And I couldn't care less about commercial succes. Ít's just that in a time where post-punk, low-fi and grunge made the business, an artist who had been there, done that, would have gotten a lot more credit if he was given a chance. The chance to be heard in that period would have been bigger when those OOTC-songs had had less sheen and more rawness.
Using a kick-ass rythmsection would have been a possibiltiy to achieve that.

And, Gaius, like you, I am one of Lindsey's hardcore fans. And that's not a big group. So I belong to that targetgroup you speak about. It's just that I hope sometime all those "alternative critics" pay attention to his brilliance.

Trouble?

I've been listening to L&A a lot lately, so I'm biased to that album now.

This matter of sheen is an odd one because every album Lindsey has done after Tusk has been a compromise between the studio polish of Rumours and the quirkiness (there's that word again!) of the double platter.

I don't think the drums are the issue at all here anyway. If OOTC was his first attempt at this supposedly new approach with guitar then I don't think a real rhythm section would have added a thing in there. The only things on SYW that have a similar kind of layered approach are the ones where Mick and John are not playing. You can make a case for "Miranda" but that one has both OOTC and Law And Order in it.
I hope for that too but for those people the studio polish and the experimentalism, the occasional mainstream treatments and the punkish bravado, are probably incongruous.

It's them who need to change, not Lindsey. ;)

Favorite Lindsey look: "Mirage" cover. :nod:

Storms (the guitar work accentuates the mood of the song so much.)

Mystified

With FM, Big Love.
Solo, Wrong.

Video, I'm So Afraid on the Mirage Tour video.
Audio, tie between Go Insane (Dance) and Come (Pittsburgh '03)

4:20 to 4:36 on I'm So Afraid (Dance)...the definitive sound of the Turner Model One.

Go Insane.

To be honest, none! In fact, I wish more of his Mac songs were solo songs.:)

Eh? I'm a bit music-ignorant in the Manilow department. What do you mean exactly?

1. Your fave Stevie song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration: Okay now this is HARD!! Either "Storms" (because the demo sounds worlds apart from the amazing finished product) or "Long Distance Winner."
2. Your fave Chris song, based on Lindsey arrangement and collaboration: "Think About Me," or "Hold Me." (love those vocals!)
3. Your fave Lindsey video: "Big Love"

5.Any and all parts of ISA...
6.Law and Order
7.I'll Tell You Now...I think that much of LAO should have made future mac albums, but alas, Lindsey decided to record crap like Empire State instead...I love to imagine what this song would be with Chris and Stevie doing the chorus...::Shudders with pleasure::...
