Glorified Love Letter from Sara

Never Going Back Again — Fleetwood Mac

Lindsey Buckingham has modified his delivery of this song, and I suppose he really would have to mess with the arrangement after singing songs from one of the all-time best selling albums for over thirty years. Again, his finger-picking skills on the guitar make a person wonder how it comes out of just one instrument, and the harmony with Stevie Nicks is spot on, as usual. The original is great, but the drawn out lines of the updated version make it all shine that much more. Whereas the original sounds like a quiet resolve to stop seeing the person you just can’t shake, the later performance seems amused, knowing that no matter how many times he may say ‘no more,’ this person is always going to be involved in his life.

You don’t know what it means to win
So come down to see me again
I been down one time, I been down two time
I’m never going back again

Lindsey’s done two tours and a Presidential inauguration since “quitting” the band in the late 80s. The song may have started being about Stevie, but save for Christine McVie (unfortunately, her songs are missed), the whole lot of them can’t ever really stop making music together in some way. They’re all getting up there in age, but Lindsey seems to have weathered the least. He still has his voice, his hair, and a way of inviting attraction that doesn’t seem like an old man trying to relive his late-twenties. The piles of cocaine the band did in the 70s hardly seems to have affected him, whereas Stevie comes armed with a team of hair, make-up and wardrobe and still looks her age. I suppose he comes from good genes. His brother was an Olympic swimmer and he also swam before going into music. Maybe he really did have to scrape himself together in the 90s, but he had the good sense not to let everyone else see it.

I think this chick got Stevie confused with Lindsey. Stevie looks very youthful and Lindsey looks his age.

I guess Lindsey looks his age in the face, but the way he moves his body makes you think he's in his thirties and I think that's probably what the writer was talking about, the impression you get in the concert, the effortless and endless movement.

Do you think he ought to dye his hair?

The first review I read for SWY dissed him and said he had grizzly gray hair and was showing his age. The reviewer also said that Stevie missed a cue and was singing during Lindsey's guitar solo on Landslide. The reviewer went on to say Lindsey bulldozed his way on through and should have been more polite to Stevie and let her sing.

From that reviewer's perspective, it was a Clash of the Titans. I wonder if hair dye would have helped.

Absolutely not! No hair dye! Just let the grey weave itself in like it's doing; that's way hotter than having the Mike Wallace shoe leather look :lol: !

[michelej1]

I would say dye, but his hair grows so fast that he'd have to be doing it every 2 weeks, so leave it alone. He doesn't need to be spending half of his time in a beauty salon.

And please, no botox or face lifts.

I agree with that but he should do something about his eyebrows. They're nearly gone :eek:

[BTFLCHLD]

personally...Lindsey gets better looking as he ages...my preference....and to mess with that would be a travesty. :wavey:

A little mascara would solve that problem. Carol Ann would have been right on top of that.

It's true, Lindsey is very gorgeous. Most particularly for me during the 1987 Tango promotional era. Luckily, he doesn't seem to have a lot of vanity about his looks. I don't think he thinks he's ugly or anything, but thank heaven he's not always preening. Although he did have to make a few inexplicable adjustments to his crotch for the SYW album cover shoot:).

Hey CADreaming --- thanks for drawing me a picture.

Is there video of these adjustments???? I'd be a willing voyeur...

Wait a minute...Say You Will Photo shoot...is that segment on Destiny Rules DVD or is there a whole DVD of it like the Gypsy Photo Shoot?

[Nico]

Yay, shallow Lindsey talk!

I've always found him to be unbelievably handsome, in his youth and up to now. He carries himself in a very sexy, self-assured way despite being somewhat of a "nerd." :lol: But seriously, Lindsey is a pretty hot guy, and I think my particular favorite period, purely on a physical level, is Out of the Cradle. Next would probably be a tie between Tusk and Say You Will. I'm very attracted to older men, more than likely because many embody that look that shows they've lived- and are wiser for it. It's very intriguing. But the best part about him is his music and guitar-playing and how he streams all of it together and create little masterpieces that seem simple but are totally complicated.

I've met him and seen him/stared at him up close and he's gorgeous without a doubt. He's in great shape, although I think he could gain some weight just to make his face seem less gaunt...he looks wonderful for his age, though. I mean, come on, all that hair?:xoxo:

[michelej1]

Here Lindsey, let me get that for you.

I didn't like the Dance fullness. Luckily, he seemed to slim down as The Dance tour progressed and he's kept it off. Gets my seal of approval:thumbsup:. Michele

[danax6]

How many times do I have to tell you guys that it's the Tusk look all the way? :mad:

Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!

As for Lindsey aging well or not... in my opinion he did. But he's way too skinny, and that's not doing anything for him at all. Some might not like the The Dance chubbiness, but I think that's far preferable to the skeleton look-a-like competition he's got going on right now. In fact, The Dance Lindsey is runner up to Tusk Lindsey. That mean needs a little meat on his bones.

I bet Gerald loves this thread. Nothing gets him more going in the morning than a thread filled with shallow crap like this. Wait, Lindsey Buckingham? Is that the guy that arranged some tunes for Stevie Nicks?

:lol:

I hate to drag her into this again, but I have to say that Lindsey has Stevie beat by kilometers. I'm not talking looks wise, but damn, if Stevie only captured a tenth of what Lindsey brings to the stage, I would be in heaven.

[Moz]

No kidding. He's about as thin as the Cryptkeeper. Other than that, he looks great. :p

[Nico]

I think he was looking smokin' during the Dance period. He was sturdier, more overtly masculine wearing a hot suit with the stunning, meticulously done hair.

I think as an older man (let's use that term) he should be a little heavier, to counter-balance the signs of aging. His face is really, really thin, which only makes him look older. At times he looks damn near delicate (like when he isn't wearing the leather jacket to appear "bulkier").
I'm actually a HUGE advocate of being in great shape, as I tend to be very image-conscious myself (and I'm hardly anyone famous), but I personally hate, hate, hate the media conception that being super-thin= more attractive/beautiful. Not always the case. the Dance Lindsey gets all my love.

(BTW: I love threads like this because when I normally discuss Lindsey it's almost always his musical contributions and overall brilliance., so these kind of things lighten the load and they're fun- in moderation! :))

[michelej1]

Lindsey don't listen to them. Don't gain any weight!

I hate to drag her into this again, but I have to say that Lindsey has Stevie beat by kilometers. I'm not talking looks wise, but damn, if Stevie only captured a tenth of what Lindsey brings to the stage, I would be in heaven.

And it's not just energy because with Shine a Light out, people are all talking about Mick Jagger's indefatigable stage presence. I couldn't bounce and jump like Mick does for 10 minutes, let alone a whole set. But to me (I'm biased), Lindsey has more than energy. There's an exuberance and zaniness and a there-ness (penetration, intensity, whatever) that really takes the audience along for the ride. Sucks you into the vortex.

I'm not into ISA and would rarely listen to an audio version of it for too long, but live I still get swept along by it after all of these years, because he still seems to feel it. It goes beyond the sound or technique. There's a strong, magnetic focus he has that becomes contagious.

Michele

[Nico]

He's entrancing. I don't know what it is. Possibly the way he stares you down when he's singing, or just how mind-blowing he is playing that instrument, or it could be the incredibly impassioned performances he is still capable of giving- but he just gets to me. Lindsey totally made me the Fleetwood Mac fan I am now. My dad had always played the pre-BN era stuff out when I was younger, and of course they're stuff was always all over the radio, but it was without a question of a doubt Lindsey and his amazing, amazing presence that made me a fan. I remember watching "Live in Boston" and gaping at his energy and charisma. No offense, but I hardly glanced at Stevie. She was "just there" to me. He's pretty powerful I suppose.:shrug:

Lindsey don't listen to them. Don't gain any weight!

Pfft! Lindsey, go to the "In & Out Burger" and get yourself one, or 12.

[michelej1]

Yeah, if his face was fuller, it wouldn't be so lined. But I just found The Dance a turn off and he wasn't even really overweight then.

I think he's very sexy Tusk era, but I like the attitude then. That's what attracts me most about that time.

If I could only choose one period for looks alone, it would be around 1987, the Seven Wonders video. That's like the archetype of beauty for me. He would not have gotten out of the band alive looking that good. The part of the video where Stevie tousles his hair . . . I become faint and slightly disoriented.

Now, I'd heard Over My Head, Rhiannon, Say You Love Me and the Rumours songs on the radio and I liked them, but I wasn't even aware that it was one band putting out that music. I never investigated any of those songs. I was a kid and I didn't have a lot of disposable income and I guess I wasn't that interested. It wasn't until I heard Sara that I said, "Who is that??" That's when I went and got the album and found out who FM was.

Stevie drew me in, but I was quickly mystified by the whole kit and kaboodle. Lindsey, Stevie, Christine too. The entire dynamic just enthralled me.

Possibly the way he stares you down .

The eyes do have a lot to do with it. And I do think the dark eyebrows (which have already been mentioned as having disappeared) had a lot to do with that. It gave his bright eyes a shaded, hooded look that made them pierce deeper. One of my favorite moments is in the video (Tusk doc?) where he is arguing with John and John says something about being tired and wanting to go home and Lindsey says that he wants to go home too. Then, he just narrows his eyes and glares at John for good measure. It's so funny to me.

No offense, but I hardly glanced at Stevie. She was "just there" to me. He's pretty powerful I suppose.:shrug:


He's so very powerful.

Hmm, well I think he looks great all the time (except that hideous Go Insane video), so I'm gonna say yes on the Seven Wonders, because he looks extra cocky and sure of himself, as he does always- but more pronounced here than most times.

Tusk= beautiful. Lindsey looked stunning then. He was more in my age group so, yeah, don't ask me what I'd do if one of those was walking around now. :lol: Of course I jest...

I love the Out of the Cradle era best. His hair, his demeanor, and MOST IMPORTANTLY his music. I'd relive all the horror that was the early 90s just to appreciate that Lindsey at the time. *sigh*

Hi Betsy. This is a screencap from the DR doc and as far as I know that's the only dvd of this shoot.

I'd LOVE to see more of the 500+ supposed hours that were filmed...

However it's probably best if this isn't leaked. I would watch every second of those 500+ hours.

Chris probably doesn't have access to this. Lindsey was responsible for the taping and Stevie just put up with it. I would guess that Lindsey or Mick have have the footage.
