Ahh come on Madness, It stands for Lindsey Buckingham Turner model I.

My question would be:

Why the hell did you leave the possibility to make a guitarnoiserockalbum after Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, White Stripes????

I still think it would be an interesting effort.... Do it while you can!

Im Still not sure about this one, why didnt they use a "1" instead of an I. Plus he uses other Guitars and does not endorse the Model 1 in any way.

However, to make it interesting I will wager you 10 Euros on this that That is NOT what it stands for, if he answers this question. (Roughly the cost of the New CD).

i wouldn't ask any of these since not really guitar / musical questions but are some of the questions that bug me:

considering he's going diy route why is he (or his people) not on all different social media like twitter? (his supposed PR person is on twitter but the only LB-related tweets are from Jeremy Cowart and jokerstyle productions (which are greatly appreciated, but these are not real PR)
why doesn't he fire his website people or get them in shape? and related to that, does he have his US distribution setup yet?
what's up with his dead youtube channel? (if any of his kids are into making these things why doesn't he give them a chance since anything would be better than what he currently has)?

And I think my questions had better remain unasked!

TrueFaith77 · #10 07-16-2011, 10:21 AM

I wouldn't even know where to begin to ask Lindsey, Johnny, or Hooky a question... although of all three of them I would beg: "Come home!"

Hopefully the magazine will pick the music and technically oriented questions. But since I didn't have any of those I asked him about his kids and also begged him to do some solo work, a final duet, anything, with Christine, just one more time, as a goodbye for the fans. I thought 1997 was the beginning of something, not the end and I feel I never got closure.

This is how I've sent in the question:

Dear Lindsey,

Why did you leave the possibility to make a guitar-noiserock album after Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, White Stripes???? I know you have great respect for some of those bands, and your live guitar-playing style would match such an approach. Especially in combination with your perfected acoustic style you could make a folknoise-album that would shock and inspire the indie music world.

I still think it would be an interesting effort.... don't you?
