Seriously, it sounds like you're the bitter old ass.
You're different tonight. Speculation has been...pointed out to me, that maybe you're...toying with....things.

Hope you're okay, Ed. I mean that.

And I'm bitter AF. They FIRED LINDSEY, the wife beater!!!

I'm gonna watch the Tusk doc outtakes now, and let it all go...Night, Ed.

There was a finished Christine song that didn't get placed on it because they decided to keep it at 10 songs. Once, when Christine and Lindsey were interviewed for the record, she said "I had high hopes for that song." Lindsey retorted: "For the next record."

The weakest song on the album by a long shot.

Someone sent me a DVD of it, about a decade ago. I'm not sure if they're on Youtube or not. Pretty interesting stuff, especially if you already know the Tusk doc. Some behind the scenes bitching, and eye rolls at others, $tevie in the studio...trying to tell them what $he wants a song to sound like...and NOBODY is listening to her, and $he's twirling her finger around the side of her head...to indicate that they're crazy, etc... It's a must have, for mega fans.

I like it but it would have been much better with a live drum sound.

I was mixing it up with Too Far Gone. "Too Far Gone" and "Game Of Pretend" are the weakest tracks (I'm not saying they're terrible). The others are all great.

i've just seen them peppered all over youtube but i'd love to have all these in one place.

here's Angel-writing excerpt, Stevie and Lindsey working out the melody, that was taken from one of those youtube videos -

This clip is in the documentary itself. A nice moment.

he was being much kinder to her in this clip than he would be if the cameras weren't there. Tusk, when you listen to most of his songs, is an awful lot about his anger and sadness about the end of their relationship. He hadn't come to terms with it and blamed her. He was very nasty to her during the making of this album. The documentary was made as a promotional piece by the record company and band, so the true nasty bits aren't in it. He could be very caustic and cutting in his comments about her songs and often made it a point to make those comments in front of lots of other people in the studio to add public humiliation to the mix. Not Lindsey's finest hour, but not hers, either.

I've heard Lindsey in interviews say he didn't want the relationship to end and resented Stevie for breaking it off. I've always found such comments utterly baffling. It is beyond me how a man can be with a woman for 5-6 years, not propose, and yet blame the breakup on her.

Do we know who conceived of and bankrolled the Destiny Rules documentary?
I always assumed it was Warner Brothers, but since half the documentary is about whether or not to sign with Warner Brothers in the first place, that doesn't make any sense.
