What Was Lindsey's Issue With The Musicares Walkout Music?
And what did he do in response?
After watching the video of Stevie's speech, I can't imagine the alleged smirk amounted to anything at all. I'm thinking it had to be more how he handled this walkout music issue. Seems like a small thing over which to pitch a fit. In retrospect it might have been a good idea if, in 1997, or at least in 2001, they had signed an agreement that the band could not go on without all five members, minus any who left voluntarily or passed away. |

here is the quote from that article specifically addressing your question: But on the phone, Azoff had a list of things that, as Buckingham puts it, “Stevie took issue with” that evening, including the guitarist’s outburst just before the band’s set over the intro music — the studio recording of Nicks’ “Rhiannon” — and the way he “smirked” during Nicks’ thank-you speech. Buckingham concedes the first point. “It wasn’t about it being ‘Rhiannon,’ ” he says. “It just undermined the impact of our entrance. That’s me being very specific about the right and wrong way to do something.”that interview and the article that links to the lawsuit here https://www.rollingstone.com/music/m...m-band-736063/ is the most extensive information we officially got. i can tell you also the rumors part - but that's just stories through the grapevine that have not been officially told by band members: basically there was not supposed to be any music playing (other than crickets maybe?) as FM was walking on stage at MusiCares. instead, somehow Rhiannon track was given to the organizers to play over loudspeakers right before the band was going to launch in The Chain. it is unclear why and how that happened, but LB was not happy that it did (as he says in the RS interview too). some speculate that it was Karen/Stevie's way to gaslight LB because SN wanted him out of the band and needed a last straw.

LB was upset that a SN hit was used as the walkout music for a band award. He wanted The Chain

nope. read my post above. he didn't want any walkout music. as they normally never use any when they are walking out on stage. #crickets

Stevie fan(tasy)

If he considered himself the band's musical director, then it figures that he would want the final choice about the musical texture of their performance, including their entrance on stage--and the idea of a brief, abortive clip of Rhiannon followed by them playing The Chain sure sounds peculiar enough to warrant putting his foot down. Putting aside the (possibly accurate) conspiracy theories about LB being set up by the Stevie camp over this issue, you could simply speculate that it was about Stevie wanting/needing the atmospheric context of some introductory music (like all the music she listens to before a performance), either to pep her up or to invigorate the tuxedo crowd or both; whereas Lindsey was presumably thinking "Let's keep them in suspense, then work them up slowly with the magic of their actual performance of The Chain." As for "Rhiannon" being untenable to LB because it's a "Stevie hit," that's silly--Lindsey helped craft that song back in the early BN days (if anyone wouldn't like it for reasons of provenance, it would be the non-BN members of the band); and even if we assume that "Rhiannon" should be construed as unduly representative of Stevie rather than the rest of the band, then wouldn't she be in the wrong to be insisting on it being used as the walk-in music in the first place?

and yes, swapping Rhiannon for The Chain not only contradicts Lindsey's story but also every behind the scenes insiders' version we've heard from other band members camps since february. it's a conjuncture from reading through the story fast.
