If Looks Could Kill...

Zombie · #1 07-14-2010, 05:36 PM

I was just watching the '77 live video of "Go Your Own Way," because it cracks me up, and it gave me an idea for what might be a fun thread.

The video cracks me up because Stevie just looks so damn grumpy at Lindsey. I think it might have something to do with the fact that they were breaking up during the recording of Rumours, which was a very intense and difficult time for everyone, and "Go Your Own Way" was about Stevie?

I've only heard the story about 700 times, so I can't really authenticate its veracity (has anyone else heard about this? care to share your learnings?), but it seems plausible enough. I mean, check out time marker 0:06, hand on hip, perfunctory tambo smacking. Oh my, was that an eyeroll I spy at about 1:14? The further tambo smacking at 1:41 reminds me of Will Ferrell playing the cowbell in a rather menacing fashion at the other dude in the classic Blue Oyster Cult skit on SNL (here's that video - I refer to the bit that starts at 3:19 - for anyone that hasn't seen it).

Anyway, post your favorite examples of Stevie & Lindsey being drama queens, from those death glares she has a habit of shooting at him to snooty things either of them have said in interviews.

When i think about dirty looks and such i always think of Blue Letter on the Mirage concert video. Lindsey looks so p***ed off here ( he might just be knackered!) However i love the start where Christine is mouthing the words makes me smile everytime, i'd love to know what she was thinking!

Silver Springs, The Dance:

Not very original, I know, but it's how I became a fan. Watching this late at night on VH1, and I was dozing...then it picks up and she starts glaring at him and I'm wondering what the hell is going on. 13 years later and I'm still here.

This may not be exactly "if looks could kill" stares but they are still stares, or looks, or something, maybe just a good excuse for you to watch one of my favorite videos.
Okay, so around 1:12 and 1:48ish she gives Lindsey a look...kind of an "eat **** but I'm cute as pie" look as I'd like to call it tonight. Okay, then at 1:29, no stare but she's singing along behind Lindsey, it's so freaking cute! Then starting at 3:30 we get some dancing boob action. Just watch it.

This was the very first thing I thought of when I saw this. I seriously can't get that song out of my head right now. I've been listening to a Heart Greatest Hits CD for the past week and I can't get enough of it!

I often think Lindsey looks pissed off - maybe he's aiming for the brooding artiste thing?

I love that video! Stevie banging on the tambo with that thing in her other hand makes me laugh - she's said before that they used to tape the jingly bits on her tambo so no one could hear it, so I wonder if she grabbed that thing to clack away at it, like, "OH YEAH? WELL, I CAN STILL MAKE NOISE IF I WANT TO. *clack-clack-clack* YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. GO ON, ACT TOUGH!"

at 2:55, when Lindsey says "musical soap opera" Stevie castrates him with her eyes, I swear!!! It's so freakin' funny!!

That is definitely a death stare, but she looks like she's ready to unhinge her jaw like a snake and just bite his head off pretty much the whole way through that interview, LOL

I forgot all about that clip - I love that one.

Let's see - what about the bit starting at about 2:12 in the Tusk video below, where they're all in the bleachers? Stevie starts brandishing her hat around wildly and Lindsey yanks at the back of her dress to make her quit it, like "OMG, WOMAN. SIT DOWN. CONTAIN THYSELF."

Oh oh! And starting at about 1:36 in this interview with Stevie in '83, we have the infamous Hamburger Helper electric skillet rant. "Well, Lindsey was busy practicing his guitar." Love it.

I wanted to make a gif out of that, but I couldn't remember which Tusk video it came from. Now if gifsoup would quit being an unpredictable asshole...

Is it wrong that I think their mutual bitchiness is sooooooooo funny/ endearing? it's like two little kids making each other jealous and trying to piss each other off and holding grudges over all of it along the way. It's like neither are mature enough to take the high road so they just stare evily at one another instead. And the best part is they've been doing about the same thing after all these years. *sigh* Lindsey and Stevie...

Wait, wait...Stevie is basically saying that Lindsey used an electric skillet to cook Hamburger Helper on an electric stove? And i thought my mom was a bad cook!
