It's in writing. He better keep his word, this time. :nod:

It does make me happy to know he is alive and working on material. :)

My thoughts exactly. I think pigs have a better chance of flying unless Lindsey's finally given up hope on Warner Brothers and realizes that if this is ever going to be released, he has to do it on his own. That would be soooooo great :nod:

True, BUT he has the Fleetwood name. When you hear "Fleetwood" you think Fleetwood Mac. Unless you're us or you realize the supreme genius that is Lindsey, when you hear "Buckingham," you think "Palace" :rolleyes:

I would be surprised if Mick sold 20,000 copies of "Something Big." :laugh: It's not exactly an album that would get a lot of promotion or be easily found at the local Wal-Mart.

So, I say that if Mick Fleetwood can get a record released, Lindsey will have no problems getting one of his released. It's just a matter of him realizing that a big label like Warners doesn't want to release his solo stuff. :nod:

I don't doubt that it didn't sell well--I just mean that his name is more widely recognizable than Lindsey's. And yes, as I said earlier in this thread, Lindsey needs to learn that in Warners eyes, he's not a viable solo artist. When he'll come to that realization? Who knows. I hope this is a sign that he has but I suppose we'll have to wait and see what 05' brings us :nod:

Which will air a little later this year.
And he did seem interested in promoting that.
So, people could learn his name (again--as they did in 97, which was the right time for GOS--which was "95% done"--to be released).
So, if he hurries his little tushie up and finishes what he's creating now (with the help of a whole bucket of non-perfectionist pills) the Lindsey Buckingham World Tour would be the next logical step (obviously, someone's slipping anti-cynic stuff in my coffee. I'm not normally this delusional).

I don't know. I suppose i'm a little more doubtful simply for the fact that with every tour he's on, he's garnered with critical acclaim as a guitarist and then it seems as though his name is forgotten once again -_- (insert some "no one knows my naaame...no one knows my naaame..." HERE) He could totally ride the coat tails of the Fleetwood Mac tour and get something out but again, as you were saying, perfectionist Lindsey--bless his heart--probably will take another 8 years making it "just so."

Man. I'm a Debbie Downer :distress: Pass one of your pills, please ;)

I am not keeping any hopes up. I did have a dream a week ago that Lindsey was doing a special show in New York City on the 30th but I don't know what month it was. :lol:

I was there however and I don't remember much else.

Back to this thread's topic: I would love to hear a new solo album from Lindsey this year. I would love to see Lindsey perform this year (he'd have to come back to his stomping grounds, wouldn't he?). I don't know that it will actually happen, though.

I don't think Lindsey planned on touring very much when he originally was going to release his solo album. But now that the Say You Will Tour was such a success (and it seemed that he had so much fun with it) that he'll work out something and get a tour going. I'd love to see Mick and John back him up doing his solo work. I think there's so much of his song library that deserves to be played on stage but he never got a chance to. I mean, imagine working on an album for 10+ years, then only getting to do 3 new ones live. I'm hoping he tours, but can't hold my breath...

Johnny Stew

01-02-2005, 04:29 PM

The fact that he said he's writing new songs is definitely a good thing... and, yet, it also concerns me.

It seems to me, based on past history, that we'd have a better chance of getting a new album sometime within 2005, if he had simply fine-tuned the remaining 'Gift Of Screws' tracks and released those.

Given Lindsey's tendency to tinker for years (and decades) at a time, his working on new songs could definitely put this project's release date in the "to be announced" category for quite a while.

But I'm itching for some new L.B. music, so I'm remaining cautiously optimistic. :nod: :D

Wow a whole 3 senteces! Talk about spontinaety! Yeah I know I probably spelt that wrong. Sorry I'm feeling extra bitter today. Good to know that his solo album might just come out. I'm still waiting for my special order of Law & Order to come in though.

I absolutely adore and love Lindsey but I also know him. I came to the Penguin in 1995!!! loking for news of the then "new" album from Lindsey-that would have been GOS. So we get Say You Will in 2003! that is legally. A lot of us have GOS boots but even that was what 2000, 2001?

He can't help himself I guess. He wants the music to be perfect. It's part of who he is, and I certainly wouldn't want him to be different.

On the other hand, just a tad sooner, Lindsey? Please? :laugh:

To be honest, I don't think it will be very long before an album comes out. I get the feeling that he got a real kick in the pants recently and will actually release soemthing. Methinks he realized what he was missing out on by doing nothing.

I am hoping that Lindsey saw how much love is out there for him, by meeting us Ledgies, either in person, front row, signs, etc. Perhaps, by touring, he feels that he's gained some fans that didn't really know or pay attention to him before. The timing just feels right, IMO.

I don't know...I DO know that I'm excited. :blob1:

Regina

01-02-2005, 08:28 PM

He did say that he was going to tour, right? I just want to make sure that I was not dreaming.

Let's see...you were the one who asked about touring, right? Or about Soundstage? In either case, that whole conversation seemed to merge together.
He kind of smiled and said something to the effect that he supposed he would have to go out in support of his Soundstage experience. He was kind of cute and cagey. I seem to remember something about the Spring of this year...but whether that's the Soundstage airing or the tour or both, I don't remember.

You know, I swore I would remember every darned word but I just got too excited. Still, although I don't remember the exact words, I think it was more than implied--I think it was stated, because I do remember everyone talking about it later and there were a lot of "I told you so"s and "Now, do you believe it, since it came right from his own mouth?" headed in my direction. I was really very, very much the doubtful Thomasina of the group on that score.

I did ask about Soundstage and I was a bit forward. After I asked him my brain went "Oh my God I can't believe you had the nerve to ask him." :rolleyes: That is when he said that it had not been edited yet and that the next series of Soundstage started in April but he never said when his Soundstage was going to air. :confused:

Sometime after that I remember our small group cheering about a LB solo album and tour. I somehow missed my chance to bust him and tell him that he has to play Providence. It all happened so fast.

I also heard rumours of a Mac spring or summer tour so I don't know what to think. I just hope to get to see Lindsey in some shape or form. ;)

Are we to assume he's still going to call it Gift Of Screws? Or do you think there's a chance he'll change it?

Well, I think that Lindsey knows that those tracks are floating around online, so with that + the immense time difference from when they were actually recorded, I feel (and hope) that he's actually working on getting something out there which is mostly new.

PS - Bobo... Great avatar pic!

I hoe we get a Lindsey album very very soon, I think he might seriously do it too, a lot has happened in the last few years and I reckon he would be more secure with himself than he was last time he tried to release, however the setbacks with the SYW double album could possibly make him reluctant. Either way I just hope we see something from him this year!

I would LOVE to be optimistic about a new album but the problem is even though most of us will undoubtedly buy the album the majority of the public will not and so Warners/Reprise will not touch it and then he will probably morph it once agin into the next FM project. I think he is just too concerned with it not being a total failure.

Heres hoping we do get a new album.
