What Mac stuff DON'T you want your friends to see?

skcin · #1 07-14-2004, 10:00 AM

I've been inspired by the "weird Stand Back dancing guy" thread. There's so many Mac things I want my friends/casual fans to see or hear so they know how great the Mac is, like the LIB DVD, or Stevie Live in Concert, or the SYW CD, or Rosebud Rhiannon, etc.

But there are a few thing I DON'T want them to see or hear, for fear they'll think it's bad/stupid/hilarious, etc.

Here's my list:

Stand Back on SNL or Solid Gold (dancing guy is just too ridiculous.)

LB giving oral to his mike on the Mirage DVD during Not That Funny

The song Family Man (it's just begging to be made fun of by the casual listener)

Actually, let's throw in When I See You Again too (all those "baby's" - I can barely handle it.)

Edge of 17 from Live in Red Rocks (I think the cry at the end would just be too much for them to take!)

What's on your list?

I guess I don't want my friends to see the collection of "non-released" tapes, cds and videos that I have collected along the way. I'll add magazines to the list as well.

I took my boss to the Holmdel show back in May and, during the whole way up, I kept having to "prepare" him for Mick's vest solo. Even though it was a good 2 hours into the show, I had to make sure he was ready for it. Of all the great things FM has to offer, especially during that show, afterwards, we agreed that was, by FAR, the low-point of the show. But even the Lindsey solos that a casual fan may think are excessive, impressed my boss. So, overall, I'd have to say the #1 "Mac & Friends No-No" is Mick's drum/vest solo.

Why? Cuz they'll think you're a bit nuts (like my friends do when they see my collection?)

The thing I would most not want friends to see is my bedroom (posters all over the walls, framed album covers, etc).

- Mirage SOTM - Not sure they could handle it

- Stevie's nervous & uninspired 1994 appearance on Leno

- The 1990 versions of GDW, with the endless "Running in the shadows...shhhhaadows" refrain

- Edge from Red Rocks - Never met anybody who liked the "Singin' it to YA" line

- Mirage concert Gypsy - Stevie's a zombie

- Mick's solo!!! Need I explain?

- Stevie Nicks Fanatic episode - My friends who watched with me still tease me that 87% of the show was devoted to Bryan Adams

- These Strange Times

- Any OSOTM concert on video, she was a zombie

- Any Gold Dust Woman from the OSOTM tour

- Any drum solo from Mick

- Any shot of Mick in the Mirage video, he's gross looking

- Certain shots of Lindsey in the Mirage video; I want to introduce them to the Mac, not showcase Lindsey's package

- The Sometimes It's A Bitch video, she wasn't looking her best

- Say You Will on LIB...it's so blah....

I try to hide the background musicians some I guess...my aunt, who I always like to play Mac stuff (who was a casual fan in the 70s and 80s) calls them "Cheaters" but shes just like that lol....it annoys me when my friends say Lindsey isnt playing guitar or Mick isnt playing drums so I try to hide those people lol

Someone explain! I've never seent the Mirage video.

amber · #13 07-14-2004, 02:56 PM

I have stevie pictures up, so i'm a bit embarrassed when people ask for an explanation...but not enough to take them down. For me it's more like i'm embarrassed about when i have my concerts - usually at least a few times a week. And how loud and often i sing the same cheesy (to others) songs. I usually close all my windows. I feel sorry for my downstairs neighbors and possibly my other neighbors who i know can hear very well. I mean, how many times do non-mac fans want to hear SB or Edge, or BC, or SW or SS or SDMHA or Insider, or ..... I usually hope someone doesn't come up my stairs while i'm doing this.

You need to get it! There are great performances to be viewed.
And they're referring to Lindsey's close-ups where his lips are basically on the microphone.

See, Mick in the Mirage video was one of the only things I COULD show my friends in high school, they always thought having a roadie whose sole duty was to pour beer down his throat while still drumming was pretty rock and roll!
