Thank you soooo much.:xoxo:

OMG, when she goes "take me home...what the heck does that mean?" with her own lyrics....:lol: :lol:

Director: "Put your head on his shoulder"
Stevie: "I don't know this guy!!!"

:lol:

I like how she said she couldn't look at the guy adoringly, cause she isn't an actress. I didn't know she knew she was that talentless, acting wise. Nice. I love her. Again.

"you can't shoot that guy in my video!!"

omg..this is so fvcking great :laugh: stand back is by far the best.

"sharon's coming to my rescue...from her little shack" :laugh:

I keep finding stuff and then editing.

I like when her lover is leaving to go back to war and the dudes sitting down are going to kick his ass.

Until today... and this thread, I didn't realize Warner Bros. had their own video channel on Youtube... On one had it's cool...But on the other hand they are giving **** away.... Does that make sense? Are there any other record companies with channels doing the same? I mean it's a great marketing tool no doubt... I just find it a little odd since they are part of the industry that is so against this type of sharing.

I think it's a control issue. The "official" ( :D ) Warner channel links back to their website thru the video comments, where you can order the CD and be pimped to a lot of other artists. There's also a quality issue. Plus, I've heard YouTube will soon start paying content providers, and I'm assuming Warner will get $$$ just like everyone else will.

Everyone make sure to click thru to YouTube, and rate the video (if you have an account, which are free)! Bump it up in the list...

The commentary for Stand Back reminded me of that 1994 Mark & Brian radio interview, where Stevie's just being her-frikken-'sterical-self around old friends.

I loved how she identified everyone in the video. Very helpful.

In the Edge commentary first she says her Uncle Bill died and then she calls him Michael a few seconds later. Was that a mistake or did two people die?

As we all know, it's way different if you call yourself a dork than if someone else (Liddy B) intimates that you are one. :p

Of course. I mean, she's not permadork. But the awareness of one's dorkability is endearing. I knew Stevie knew of her own dork factor in a long ago interview where she mentioned what she thought Chris might be thinking of her outfits and dancing on the first tour, "What is this, fairy school?"

Classic.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't read that one. Chris would so say that. Chris is hella funny.
Anyway, a lot of times when Stevie is serious about stuff that she does, I find it really funny anyways. She's acts all like everything she is concerned about, or does, or thinks, is soooo important. I was going to site examples, but you know what I mean. :laugh:
That is why I am especially glad to hear her dork out on herself, because really, in most interviews, she is very self serious and self absorbed...about her work....not that there's anything wrong with that...

That is the Stevie I like most. I don't like when she is in that "legend in her own mind" mode. It's not all that dignified. She has earned the right, but it just makes her look insecure. I hope you do get to meet her, and not in an all fanned out worshipful crazy setting. She really is that funny.

I agree. Although I don't think it makes her look insecure, I'm always astonished at her confidence. Either way, I laugh. :laugh:
But men say stuff like that all the time. I'm not sure I think it makes her look less dignified. I just think it makes her look self absorbed. But again, I've seen many guys say the same things, so I'm trying not to have a double standard in my head. Although I'm not sure it's so much a double standard as the belief that, as much as I love her, even Stevie isn't that important. heheheh.

I just about fell out when I watched the Stand Back video. I mean "you can't shoot that man in my video!" That's absolutely priceless. I think it's smart of WB to post these because people who might not have thought to get CV will see these and think twice. All smart companies give little promo goodies away to get people to buy their products. I can't wait to see what she says about Talk To Me. "This is a sad song, why am I smiling so much???" and "What's with that giant candy, anyway?"

At any rate, I posted this on my LiveJournal page and thought you guys might like to read what I wrote. Here's what it said:

Okay, people wonder why I adore Stevie Nicks so much, and this is it. Yes, I learned to sing by picking apart her vocals, yes I learned to write songs by dissecting her lyrics, yes she has inspired me in ways that nobody else ever will. But what a lot of people don't know is that she is also a total riot! I just about fell out when I saw this. Okay, a little background. You probably know the song Stand Back and you probably have seen the video with Stevie on the treadmill and all the dancers (leftover from Flashdance, I'm sure) but many people don't know that there was another version of this video that was scrapped. I read about it in the MTV Book of Videos back in the mid-80's and was dying that I'd never get to see it. I finally got a horrible copy of it on a bootleg VHS and after many years sat there, mouth agape, thinking "What the hell???" Oooh, it's bad. Stevie, I love ya, but ooh, good call on nixing this little gem.

So now, many years after that, Warner Bros. is releasing a special Best of CD/DVD called Crystal Visions which has all of Stevie's Videos with, and I still don't believe this, commentary! And in a stroke of genius, the WB has lovingly gifted Stevie's fans with this preview on YouTube. If I didn't know that this was a real project, I swear I would have thought this came directly from MadTV. I just about pissed myself watching this. I can't wait for this DVD.

Kelly

03-14-2007, 08:30 AM

She does call him her Uncle Bill and in every interview she's ever done about the song, it's been Uncle Jonathan. She does NOT call him Michael though, she's saying "my uncle" go back and listen again. But she always said it was about the two John's, her uncle and Lennon.

-Al

Yup, that is what she always says. With the exception of the "running up the stairs and down the hall" verse, I have a hard time relating the lyrics to Lennon or her Uncle. I doubt she went forth with the age old desire, ahem, to please...her Uncle. Edge has always had a very sexual undertone to me...especially the howl in the middle and the "ooh, ooh, ooooooo's", (yea, I know the WWD makes that sound too), and the 'age old desire to please' line.
I do think the deaths of her Uncle and Lennon impacted her a great deal and that turmoil led to her writing a great song.
I do think the unreleased Edge video is pretty interesting. Especially the part when she tosses the baby doll on the floor and runs away.

"I don't think Fleetwood Mac ever filmed an entire show... not like this (WHITE WINGED DOVE / IN CONCERT 81 VIDEO).. I mean we filmed seperate cuts for Rhiannon, Dreams, Sara, Gypsy, Sisters of the Moon.. but never an entire performance...."

Does she not realize the Mirage VHS /Lazer Disc was once released!!!

Which was a full band filming! in Los Angeles!

:(

It was a bad time for her..........

strandinthewind

03-14-2007, 09:03 AM

She qualified it by saying with a video director like Marty C.

Also, I think in her head, she means up until this time and they never used the entire footage from one concert in one produced video.

Of course, she could have just forgotten :laugh:

or (and my personal fav. other than "WHERE YOU GOIN WITHOUT YOUR SHAWL - which I have done from a second story window before) is:

"Lawzy, we got to have a doctor! I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!"

which rivals

Did fans coin the term "The Walk" during Edge of Seventeen (this is the first time I've ever heard Stevie mention it specifically). I'd imagine there are other things it could have been called..."The Handshake," "Meet 'n' Greet." But it just seems like something we (as fans) might have come up with.

I'm quite sure that someone over at 7W came up with that term. It's probably copyrighted.

Weird. All these years she said her uncle's name was John. And now she first calls him Bill and then Michael? Right, Stevie. :shrug:

I thought it was John too. Oh well, wouldn't be the first time she's changed her story. :lol: I'm going to wait until the DVD comes out to watch these - sounds like this package will be well worth it.

She's right, the Mirage concert was two nights spliced together. All you have to do is watch "The Chain" and notice how at the end of it her hair goes from being pulled back, to hanging free and back again. The HBO show was one night, one concert. Most concert videos are two or three nights and the best parts of the shows put into one show.

I'm with you on the lyrics. They do have a sexual undertone to me as well. What does "he was no more than a baby then" "he seemed brokenhearted" and "I went today maybe I will do again tomorrow" have to do with her uncle's death? I've always thought this, just didn't know if anyone else agreed.

Anyway:

"The white-winged dove in the song is a spirit that is leaving a body, and I felt a great loss at how both Johns were taken."

"I said, 'My Uncle John wouldn't have wanted me to cry. He would have wanted me to write. He would have wanted me to go straight to the piano.'"

"It was written about my uncle John having cancer and and that was about the time of [the murder of] John Lennon."

Still sound like 'Michael' to me, but since that really doesn't make any sense, I'll go with 'my uncle'.

Anyway:

"The white-winged dove in the song is a spirit that is leaving a body, and I felt a great loss at how both Johns were taken."

"I said, 'My Uncle John wouldn't have wanted me to cry. He would have wanted me to write. He would have wanted me to go straight to the piano.'"

"It was written about my uncle John having cancer and and that was about the time of [the murder of] John Lennon."

Maybe someone at 7W asked her to change the name? :shrug:

"What the heck does that mean?" I literally choked. :laugh:

The Every Day video is lovely, I doubt she'd have anything bad to say about it. Same with the ROF video, though maybe in retrospect it seems a little silly. The all out dance videos will be the funniest. Those cannot be taken seriously...I hope. :p

Then, there is the making of gypsy video, where she goes into it in length.

Also - when did Prince do the Stand Back intro.? If he was at her BD concert, could it have been before then? She wasn't married yet, right?

The reason I ask is that she makes it sound like she called prince without knowing him and he showed up to work on SB.

The reason I ask is that she makes it sound like she called prince without knowing him and he showed up to work on SB.ugh, the whole Prince thing is so messed up. I think she DID already know Prince before Stand Back, backed up by what she said in the commentary, but she also once mentioned a trip they took to his house, where he was speeding, and she was still in her stage clothes, coming from a FM gig. That had to have been during Mirage then.

What I think really happened with Stand Back is that she indeed had someone contact him and she was just surprised he showed up, not because she had never met him before, but that he'd want to do something for her album. She said he then walked out of her life, but obviously they had met up a few more times after that. The story about the Purple Rain premiere comes to mind, and the story about when she was sick and he was at her house.

I remember reading about her riding a horse around the grounds of Le Château, when they were recording 'Mirage.'
She's also riding in the "Little Lies" video.

I'm also assuming they never would have let her up on one, if they thought she didn't know what she was doing and were afraid she could get seriously hurt. Especially not during the filming of a video.

As far as the "Uncle John/Uncle Bill" thing... I wonder if his first name was John... Jonathan William Nicks... but they called him "Bill."

I know lots of people who are referred to by their middle names, because another family member... dad, grandfather, uncle... has the same first name. Such as my friend Mike, whose first name is really Keith... but in order to avoid being confused for his dad, he goes by Mike (his middle name).

So when she has said, "his name was 'John,' too," that doesn't have to mean that that's what he WENT by. :shrug:

She's right, the Mirage concert was two nights spliced together. All you have to do is watch "The Chain" and notice how at the end of it her hair goes from being pulled back, to hanging free and back again. The HBO show was one night, one concert. Most concert videos are two or three nights and the best parts of the shows put into one show.

Anyone that knows anything about horses or knows how to ride, would never say that "the horse was trying to kill me". I think she was referring to the horse running too fast and into tree's (ah, Stevie, its called "steering or controlling the horse around the tree). Beside's, it's an obvious exaggeration by Stevie, those "movie" horses are dead quiet or so drugged up that they can barely move.

The confederates see it's a disguise, and haul him off. She makes it sound like they just thought he was giving her grief and that's why they grab him.

I think the ASPCA is more concerned about the harming or killing of animals. Sedation is allowed if it's done by a vetrenarian. Beside's, it's pretty easy to get around that, especially on movie sets and video shoots. I worked for an equestrian olympian and its amazing what goes on in the sports world regarding drugs and horse's (and I mean performance enhancing drugs of course, not sedation), but, it is illegal, and it does go on. It's only illegal if you get caught, I guess. But these guys have it down to a fine science. It's all in the timing ;) Anyway, let's not beat a dead horse :laugh:

And I always loved that Stevie's character accidentally reveals that her paramour is really a Union soldier. I had friends who used to do Civil War re-enactments, and I showed them a (really crummy quality) copy of this video many, many years ago, and they liked it.

Well one reason I came up with when Stevie said she didn't know why she wrote it like it is might be that she and her management realized they were coming up with what was going to be her follow up video to "Gypsy" which seemed universally accepted as a great little epic in itself with all the extras and scenery changes. I think they all wanted her to come up with something just as grand and Stevie herself probably thought the whole "Tara" sequence would match the impact that "Gypsy" had. Unfortunately they all were wrong and as a stand by idea went with the newest big thing of that time. "Flashdance".

Uhhhh....I didn't realize that either. That little tiny piece of information actually pulls the entire story together because, before you told us that, it didn't make any sense why they took him away. Now I see where she DOES rub off some of the soot on his left shoulder blade. Now it makes sense why she's upset...because she can't see him because he's from the North.

both of the commentaries from the 2 track Promo DVD and Stevie does sure seem confused with the "Scarlett Version" of 'Stand Back'.

I never knew that she did not know the words to "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" when the video was shot - and she is right, you can clearly see her 'bad lipsync' performance. Funny she tried to flirt with Tom and he ended up looking in the other direction.

Hmmm...I think you nailed it! Your comment made me remember something. I recall, back in the day, reading a news blurb (probably in Rolling Stone) about the video and how she scrapped it at great cost. The writer cited the reason being that Stevie didn't like the way she looked -- overweight!

Apparently, not wanting to reveal her vanity (or call attention to her fat), she had to concoct a "I don't remember" explanation, taking a page from the political playbook.

I do not think she looks fat at all, though they really do not show her a$$ too much in it.

Glenn Parish has insisted that the rumours regarding Stevie dumping the "Stand Back" video because she "looked fat," were completely false.
His statements back in the mid-'80s match Stevie's in the commentary -- that they decided it just wasn't the right way to go, so they scrapped it and did another video more suited to the style of the song.

Interestingly, the video is completely consistent with the genre of videos done then other than it was way more professionally done.

I don't think she was joking. Or, I think she was half joking. I don't think she likes to lose money.

I just pictured you and Stevie having long conversations full of hilarity about fabulous yet frivolous things you have paid for...:p And laughing because you agreed that whatever it was was not frivolous at all, but clearly completely necessary. :laugh:

I know, and I love when she makes jokes. We are such Stevie gushers. Like I says before, probably most people want to meet her and talk about her songs and stuff. I just want to meet her and shoot the **** and joke around. Cause I know she's hella funny. She and Chris must have had a blast, Chris is funny, too.

But it was a "dancey" kind of song, and dancing in videos was becoming more and more popular (thanks to Michael Jackson)... so I think they were right that a "dance" video would be more successful.

I noticed someone said something about that BD show only being shot over one night but I think that is false. At the beginning of Edge of 17 she twirls and you can see her skirt, the flowy one. But during the rest of the video its like a mini skirt type thing she has on.

artists record 2 shows on consectative nights just in case there may be unforeseen problems on the first night of filming, If so they can film the next and edit 'em together (ala Metallica's Seattle show in the "Live ****: Binge & Purge" boxed set)

Okay, but the odd thing is...was the second Edge video ever released? I never saw it aired at all. I assumed it never left the can. Yeah, it's a dancey kind of song, but Stevie really can't dance. From what I recall the video was very cheesy...encompassing all the worst production techniques of the time. The only redeeming shots are of her on the beach. And I can't stand the editing on most of her other videos. I'm not a fan of those stupid one-second quick shots for a set-up that likely took hours.

IMO the Civil War version is actually one of her best, fully concieved videos. So what if it doesn't actually correspond with the lyrics? Some of the best videos are all imagery that may have no direct relation to the lyrics. And some of the worst videos attempt to provide a visual storyline to the lyrics (reference any country music video!).

At the very least, some of the footage (Stevie riding the horse, running, hurried and frantic) matches up to the energy of the song. I'm really glad that she's finally releasing it!

"Edge of Seventeen" was never released, but there really aren't two different videos for it -- just two different edits. Both edits have the "performance" scenes, but the 1st edit also has "storyline" scenes with Stevie & Christopher.

Funny thing is, the same director... Brian Grant... also directed the 'Scarlett Version' of "Stand Back," which, of course, was also not released.
Poor guy struck out twice!

I do not think she looks fat at all, though they really do not show her a$$ too much in it.

The only suspect butt shot is when she is sitting in the chair writing the letter. The back of the dress is bunched up and her back yard looks pretty big.

the music doesnt seem to drown out the commentary, so here's hoping for the official full length DVD.

But I do hope the front/label side of the official DVD is not the same as the promo DVD - the pale pink color w/green-yellow birds is very lame in appearance.

I see those arrows. I tried to click on them, but nothing happens. I think my computer at work is blocking it from loading. Because when I click in the "launch player" the songs from the trailer come up but the trailer doesn't play. And, nothing happens when I click the arrows. But now that I know that is where to look, I will try when I get home. Thanks! :D
