for some completely unclear reason, people have been jumping on him ever since, accusing him on "getting personal" without elaborating how is not being creatively vital anymore a personal attack.

Criticizing her work isn't necessarily ill-advised, particularly now that he's out of the band. But here it was in the context of speculating publicly about her state of mind. That's what I found ill-advised.

As a matter of fact, I'm not fond of Stevies solo career since she published TOSOTM. She still had some rare moments of decency (TISL), but her solo work since RAL has been mediocre (24 Carat gold) to cringeworthy (SA) or just plain intolerable (the track Desert Angel and that awful album with the f***ing horse on the cover). That has to do with her surrounding herself with "Yes, Ma'am" people. Dave Stewart for gods sake, how was that even possible? With FM, she fared a little better, but imho that has to do with the band being critical and honest in their opinions. She HATES that, which amuses me to no end. There is so much to mock about Stevie, bust still, I've followed FM since 1979, FM with her in it have formed my musical taste and her songs, especially the recorded live versions up to TITN hold a special place in my heart. She was all beauty and intensity back then, I loved it. So it's a habit to like her, I still do, also for the magical live concert moments in 2003, 2009 and especially in 2013, where she basically blew me away. But in 2015, she angered me, we payed so much money for front row tickets and she was upset about something and did not even try to be professional. Chris and Lindsey stepped in and saved the concert. She did some awkward posing I hated, and she behaved like a spoiled brat onstage, which I hated even more. As a consequence, I won't see them next year, I can't be bothered with the 2 new guys and won't risk another disappointment. I know that theyare good players, but the playing is kinda slow, too slow for my liking. Mick won't see my money this time. Also, I won't pay to hear "Free Falling" during a FM concert. That's just plain BS . Part of me is very sad about this, it's the first german tour that I won't attend since 1990 and I will not be seing Christine up close and wave a banner saying "We love you" in front of her, that's regrettable. The #vitality thing - Noone has as much manic energy as Lindsey, but from what was recorded and what the critics write, it seems that Stevie actually put some effort into it and works hard this time. While I'm sure this comment came from him hurting, imho it was not appropriate and again, Christine is collateral damage of his cutting comments, her energy is not what it was, either. Also, I feel that he damaged his own reputation with the snide comments, it was a bad idea to go there. Last edited by AncientQueen; 12-19-2018 at 09:26 PM.. |

Now I'm forgetting, I think the new ones were Silver Girl, Illume, Say You Will . (Thrown Down was already written during the previous tour).

that is NOT what he's talking about. he is talking about creativity.

but if you ever met him, you'd know that he's very much a straight talker in person. which at the time when everything was boring cycles, everyone wanted him to be. well, now he's himself. many people were surprised when they actually met him at recent m&gs. i like Chris' dry humor and straight talk, and i like Lindsey's. but that might be just my personality.

I mean his reputation as a brilliant, underrated guitarrist with an unpleasant personality and an ego problem. Add his supposed girl-friend abusing (see that I wrote "supposed") that still follows him and has already cost him so much. So imho his reputation was never that good.

She could have said it herself, then. Or he could have said that she wanted him to make it public. I kinda feel that Christine is not the person who would share such a personal note with the world.

so you want him to continue just taking all that lying down and not saying anything. because it worked so well for him so far, didn't it? you just listed the littany of bs that has been pinned on him, and we really have no idea whether any, all or none of it is true. meanwhile, in personal contacts, he continues winning people over. and people who never met him insist they know better and that all the trash is true.

there may have been tons more very personal stuff in that note for all we know. there probably was. all he shared is what she probably wanted him to. yet you and others insist that you know better than the 2 of them what they want shared.

I think that Christine would squish Stevie with a single cutting remark.
