Hard to ask questions if we haven't heard the album yet. I look forward to hearing the questions everyone comes up with. . . neat that this is like the second interview on rockline this year right?

[MacMan]

Yep.. He was last on April 16th

THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!

[sywlindseyfan]

I already have my question..........;)

[iamnotafraid]

Tonight's the night!

[iamnotafraid]

From the Rockline website:

We've learned much about Lindsey in his recent visits to our show. Most notably, he seems to be as happy as we have ever seen him and this can be directly traced to finding the love of his life, Kristen Messner. Since that meeting they have married and now have three children, a son and two daughters. Another huge reason for his contentment is that Buckingham has found himself and in doing so has found his music again with a confidence and resolve that is a pleasure to see. Lindsey has always displayed a certain restlessness on stage and in his songwriting. That energy will never disappear, but it now seems somehow more channeled and confident. Things have never been better for Lindsey and it shows. We'll let him tell the stories that surround "Gift Of Screws" and the fact that some of the songs have existed for awhile. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new, more prolific period in his music. Regardless, he is now giving us even more to enjoy.

Buckingham has grown into the person he was destined to be and we couldn't be happier to welcome him to our next Rockline!

[DavidMn]

I've got a radio station on right now and the shows gettign ready to air!:blob1:

[justcrazylove]

what station are you tuning into?

[Johnny Stew]

What's going on so far....


LB said he asked Fleetwood Mac to give him three years to see his plans through to completion.

Tired from rehearsing and doing radio interviews.

Same band as last tour.

Difference is last time was acoustic album they were supporting, this time they'll be much more rocking.

"Gift of Screws" titled inspired by Emily Dickinson poem -- "always looking for something to rip off" (said with a laugh), and hopefully it's in the public domain.

Title can be interpreted in a number of ways.

Gonna perform three songs live tonight.

This album runs the gamut, not as acoustic as before.

They're playing "Love Runs Deeper" now -- I'm liking it so far. The vocal melody reminds me of "Show You How."

[Johnny Stew]

what station are you tuning into?

I'm listening here: http://www.wtue.com/

[Maccafan5000]

Thanks for the quick update Johnny Stew, my computer was being slow.

Lovin this song!!

[bucklind17]

Whatever song this is playing now, I am LOVING IT. "Underground", I think? ROCKS!

[fleetwoodguy79]

"Love Runs Deeper" - This song is AMAZING... welcome back Lindsey!!! A true "new" classic!

[justcrazylove]

that guitar solo bloody rocked!

[Johnny Stew]

Gonna play short-clips from the album, to give the audience a little taste -- but not too much before the album comes out.

Played a bit of "Great Day." Also very cool -- nice & upbeat.

[Maccafan5000]

Love Runs Deeper: amazing and catchy
Great Day: Holy Crap that was awesome, I want more.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM!

[Johnny Stew]

Should I keep going with the updates, or is everyone getting to listen now?

[Johnny Stew]

Dave from Minneapolis!!! :thumbsup:

[SandyMac]

Keep the updates coming please. It is getting late here and have to head off to bed. I am so happy for Lindsey. :blob2::blob1:

[bucklind17]

Hi DavidMN! Good for you! Thanks for not asking if Lindsey's knee hurts. ;)

[DavidMn]

i cant believe i was just on!!!:wavey:

[Maccafan5000]

Way to go David!!!

So glad you got through :)

[Johnny Stew]

Keep the updates coming please. It is getting late here and have to head off to bed. I am so happy for Lindsey. :blob2::blob1:

Will do, Sandy!

Great question, Dave. :D

As we already know, the band has "tentatively" set January to rehearse -- but will spend some of that time getting reacquainted with each other.

Will probably tour only America... then hopefully head back into the studio for a release the next year (2010).

Again with the "Christine has burned her bridges" comment.

Said that he's been asked several times why not go into the studio first -- said that it will be a "proving ground" so they can talk and get a feel of what they want to do.

"A lot left to be explored in Fleetwood Mac."

"Great Day" is a favorite of Lindsey's from this album -- Will co-wrote it (was walking around singing the chorus, and LB liked it).

[SuzeQuze]

I've got a radio station on right now and the shows gettign ready to air!:blob1:

Dude, I totally just heard you on there. :lol: I freaking missed the question except I heard you thank him for being so kind to his fans.

[bucklind17]

Will is getting a co-writing credit on "Great Day". Love that. "He's gonna be trouble!"

[sodascouts]

Shoot, I missed the first half of this thanks to lame radio streams that, while listed on the Rockline site, nevertheless were not playing the show. Thanks for the link, JS!

I sure hope this thing is archived or someone makes an MP3, though, because I'd love to hear "Love Runs Deeper" and "Great Day."

[Johnny Stew]

Lindsey says he hasn't heard the recorded version of "GYOW" in a long time -- doesn't go back and listen to the studio versions very often.

Tim from Pittsburgh asked about what inspired "Monday Morning."
Lindsey says he has to shake the memory banks -- as with Rumours, the songs from Fleetwood Mac were a little autobiographical. By the time he and Stevie joined Fleetwood Mac, they were already growing apart (as were John and Chris). "MM" was about him feeling that there was this person who would be close one day and sort of play "hide & seek" the next, because the relationship was growing apart.

The Rockline site has a link that says it holds an archive of the prior two weeks' shows. So hopefully they will have it up.

[sodascouts]

Oh my gosh, Shuffle Riff! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will have it up on the Rockline site in a few days to replay...

I'm on some weird station that I think skipped a section (David's question)... After the first loooong break, GYOW was playing WTF!

[Johnny Stew]

I sure hope this thing is archived or someone makes an MP3, though, because I'd love to hear "Love Runs Deeper" and "Great Day."

Hi Nancy! :xoxo:

I should have tried to record it, but -- like a dummy -- I didn't think to. They archive their shows though, so it should be up in another day or two.

[DavidMn]

Hi Nancy! :xoxo:

I should have tried to record it, but -- like a dummy -- I didn't think to. They archive their shows though, so it should be up in another day or two.Did you think my question was pretty good?

"MM" was about him feeling that there was this person who would be close one day and sort of play "hide & seek" the next, because the relationship was growing apart.

Which was a great question and such an interesting answer. Because my perception of the song was that Lindsey sort of felt in and out of the relationship, not that he was watching the other be that way. Perhaps it was a little of both though.

[SuzeQuze]

Did you think my question was pretty good?

What was your question? I was so busy texting u I didn't hear it. :lol:

[Johnny Stew]

Did you think my question was pretty good?

Yes, I did -- I've been wondering about their longterm plans too, so I'm really glad you asked. :thumbsup:

[DavidMn]

Yes, I did -- I've been wondering about their longterm plans too, so I'm really glad you asked. :thumbsup:DO you think he dissed Christine a little bit?

[Maccafan5000]

Did you think my question was pretty good?

YES!!!

This is the best Rockline I think I've heard :)
Great questions, clips galore from the new album. Lindsey hasn't said the words "cycle," or "painting,"

...though he did sneak in his new favorite "Chris burned her bridges"

[Johnny Stew]

LB's about to perform live in the studio soon -- so try to tune in soon, folks!

Dave Stewart just asked LB a question about their similar experience being in a band with someone they were with romantically.
LB using his stock answer about still having to work with that person and not getting closure, and having to try to find your better self for on a daily basis to be able to do the right thing for their songs and not let pettiness get in the way.

[SuzeQuze]

Oh snap, it's Dave Stewart from Eurythmics? Asking about relationship? After what he said about Stevie recently? Weird.

[Johnny Stew]

Playing "Did You Miss Me" now.
I love this song. *sighs*

[SuzeQuze]

What we've been waiting for, so nice to hear him live.

[Maccafan5000]

I kind of live under a rock....
What'd he say about Stevie?

[Johnny Stew]

DO you think he dissed Christine a little bit?

The wording of the "burned her bridges" thing is, IMO, needlessly harsh. She simply decided that she finally, after all of these years, wanted to retire from the road. That's not exactly burning your bridges, by the standard definition of the phrase.

[Johnny Stew]

I was sort of holding my breath while he was talking -- thinking, "uh-oh, where's this question leading?" :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

I kind of live under a rock....
What'd he say about Stevie?

Something about her having sex with him (Stewart) and the next day Stevie telling him to get lost cuz Tom Petty and Jimmy Iovine were coming over. He said that was what he wrote Don't Come Around Here no More aout. Although some here thought it might be a joke that he said that. Cuz he's known for being a jokester. He probably did make it up! As I wrote that out it just sounds so hokey. It's somewhere here on the boards.

[Johnny Stew]

I kind of live under a rock....
What'd he say about Stevie?

He basically told Howard Stern that she was pretty much a drug-fueled one-night stand that he didn't even remember. Said something about being awakened the next morning and hurriedly ushered out of her house.

Back to Rockline.... LB's playing "Time Precious Time" now. Hmm... this one might be a little too much like some of the Under The Skin tracks for my tastes. But it may actually be different on the album, so I'll reserve judgement.

[SuzeQuze]

I was sort of holding my breath while he was talking -- thinking, "uh-oh, where's this question leading?" :laugh:

:lol: (snort). Totally, and I'm like, does Lindsey know what he said? So freaking bizarre.

Go to the "Dave Stewart on Stevie Nicks" Thead in the Stevie section... I posted today an mp3 of his interview where he talks about his encounter with her.

[sodascouts]

Did You Miss Me was MAGNIFICENT.

And hi back, sweet thing! ;) (talking to JS, lol)

[bucklind17]

"Time Precious Time" is making me really, really happy. I love his songs like this, and the manic guitar work makes me all giddy and ridiculous. I'm actually sitting here laughing with excitement for this album/tour because of this performance right now! I can't wait till he does this one live, holy crap!

[SuzeQuze]

It's stunning. Gives me goosebumps.

[Johnny Stew]

Did You Miss Me was MAGNIFICENT.

Wasn't it though? It really translated well to an acoustic setting.

[Maccafan5000]

Thanks for the quick update on the Stevie/Stewart story.

I'm really glad Lindsey is playing NEW tunes instead of the old favorites.
Time Precious Time just has some crazy guitar work. It does represent the passage of time quite well though, it's not one of my favorites of his (as of right now).

...and I can't type this evening apparantly, my apologies

[Johnny Stew]

Uh-oh... here comes "Big Love." :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

Uh-oh... here comes "Big Love." :laugh:

Still soo good though. He's such a master. Poor CAH, he acts like there was never a relationship there. I guess for him there wasn't. He said after Stevie it was just him and his guitar until his wife and kids came along.

[Maccafan5000]

Is it just me or does his voice sound A LOT better than it has recently?

[Johnny Stew]

Yeah, sounds like Carol and Cheri never even existed. Guess they were overshadowed by the "Spectre of Stevie." ;)

Ohhh... a little bit of "Gift of Screws" now. I LOVE THAT SONG.

[fleetwoodguy79]

Is it just me or does his voice sound A LOT better than it has recently?

He's definitely ON IT tonight! I really shuddered when I heard his last performance.

Septermber 16th needs to get here a little quicker! :)

[SuzeQuze]

Is it just me or does his voice sound A LOT better than it has recently?

I thought this too actually. I wonder what he's doing differently.

[Johnny Stew]

Is it just me or does his voice sound A LOT better than it has recently?

No, I agree. His voice sounds stronger and far less strained -- which is impressive since he said he spent the day rehearsing for the tour.

[sodascouts]

I agree. His vocal was terrific on these songs - Time Precious Time was MUCH better than the recent live performance. I am so impressed - Lindsey was ON.

I'm so excited to see him live!

[bucklind17]

No, I agree. His voice sounds stronger and far less strained -- which is impressive since he said he spent the day rehearsing for the tour.

There's a bit of reverb on there, I think, but I agree, he sounds amazing.

[DavidMn]

I agree. His vocal was terrific on these songs - Time Precious Time was MUCH better than the recent live performance. I am so impressed - Lindsey was ON.

I'm so excited to see him live!which shows are you going to?

[wondergirl9847]

He sounds phenomenal. Big Love sounds WAY different to me as it did on that last performance he did of the song in Colorado. The guitar sounds different as does his voice. The new songs are amazing too. The guitar work in Time Precious Time...sweet Jeebus. It's like a waterfall...in China. LOL I can't describe it any other way.

[michelej1]

Love hearing that Love Runs Deeper was amazing. Several people have praised it now and I so look forward to hearing it.

I never liked the title Great Day. I thought it sounded too generic and I felt that if it didn't have an ironic surprise in the lyrics, then I'd be upset with it. But now that I know that's the song that Will wrote the chorus for, I'll let it slide:laugh:.

Well, we know he remembers at least one woman after Stevie, since he claimed that Come was about Anne.

Things were crazy today and I couldn't listen to the broadcast, but I'm so glad that it will be archived. It was really fun to read the summaries here.

That is weird about Dave Stewart.

[Maccafan5000]

Out Of The Cradle!!!!

[Johnny Stew]

Answered a question about Warren Zevon.

Asked about doing selections from Out Of The Cradle.
LB said he got some complaints about only doing one song from OOTC last time, but since they'll be doing a more rocking set, they'll be doing more from that album.

[MacMan]

Right on! OOTC tunes!!

[AliceLover]

Out Of The Cradle!!!!

I heard! I heard!

[estranged4life]

Someone should ask his opinion about albums being leaked online before the actual release date.

[DavidMn]

soul drifter!!!!!!

[AliceLover]

They are about to play the Right Place to Fade!

[wondergirl9847]

Yep, I heard it, David. :thumbsup: This Rockline is SO much better (knocks on wood. LOL) than the last one. Great questions so far and I am LOVING the songs he's doing and that Bob is playing.

OOTC!!! YES!!!! Our "complaining" worked ya'll!! LOL

Right Place to Fade aka Twist of Fate! :]

[Johnny Stew]

Greg asked him about doing Crossroads with Little Big Town.
LB says it was a really fun show to do -- says that in some ways LBT has similar reference points because of the male-female relationships. The whole thing meshed really well very quickly -- only had one day to put it together.
Was very happy to do that and they were great guys. Says when you pull yourself out of your genre, you want to be sure it's a good fit -- hasn't seen a lot of those kinds of shows, but says sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Going to play "Right Place To Fade" now. Says it's an analogy for shutting down because of things in Fleetwood Mac and then realizing you need to move on. Says it's like in a movie ( :laugh: ), knowing when to fade one scene to get to another.

[bucklind17]

I would still bet MONEY that he's saying "twist of fate". DOLLARS.

Can anyone with good ears pick out any big differences in this version that the leaked one we've had? The mix is probably a bit clearer (hard to tell on the livestream), guitar sounds more prominent. Can't tell if the vocals are new or not. Wish I could!

[DavidMn]

i would really like to hear BEL AIR RAIN. That title just really intrigues me.

[Nico]

Well, we know he remembers at least one woman after Stevie, since he claimed that Come was about Anne.

Michele

I think in "Lindsey language" saying there was no one after Stevie until meeting his wife means that, retrospectively, the other relationships weren't significant in the long-run. Possibly due to immaturity, the times/lifestyle, his mindset, etc. But I don't think he's forgotten about those ladies. They just aren't as important, in the long-run, as his relationship with Stevie Nicks was and what he has with his wife and kids now.

But I digress because...

"Out of the Cradle" songs being played in concert???!!!??? Oh my...Lindsey...:xoxo::blob2::blob1::] I am officially thrilled to be your fan right now. THANK YOU. I'm a happy girl.

[bucklind17]

Bob just used the word "organic" and Lindsey did NOT say "organic"! Write this down!

[Johnny Stew]

David in North Carolina asked about National Lampoon's Vacation soundtrack.

LB said it was a fluke -- ran into Harold Ramis who directed the movie. They struck up a casual friendship and HR recruited LB to write for the movie.
Sort of proud of it, because he thinks maybe it informed the movie a little. Was one of those lucky things that happens. Ramis was surprised that it was as good a fit as it was.

Chad in Tulsa asking about OOTC -- brilliantly arranged. Feels "Did You Miss Me" sonically sounds like it could have been pulled from that album -- wondering if the whole of GOS is more in the vein of OOTC.

LB says UTS was about letting a couple of tracks do the work of the songs, but not a full representation of what he can do. Says that GOS is more like OOTC than any of his other albums -- feels it's a stronger album than the last and if one likes OOTC they'll probably like the new one.

[justcrazylove]

This Kid is asking damn good questions!

[Johnny Stew]

Marty in California asking about the writing process -- lyrics first or melody on guitar.

LB says not a writer in the traditional sense -- process of recording is like painting ( :lol: ), and the process of writing is entertwined with the process of recording.

Marty asking a second question -- when LB goes into the studio to record vocals and guitar parts, how does he know it's the "perfect track" he wants imprinted on the album forever.

LB says it's like scenes in a movie (oh, good grief! :laugh: ) -- says you have to have entirety of the number of songs you want to present and how they work together. Like scenes in a movie, some will get cut because they don't contribute to the flow.

[michelej1]

But I don't think he's forgotten about those ladies. They just aren't as important, in the long-run, as his relationship with Stevie Nicks was and what he has with his wife and kids now.



Yeah, I know he hasn't forgotten. He's talked about the crazy women in his life in discussing why he had never been a father before. He said they were crazy and that he was too. Actually, to me "Lindsey language" is a little different than what's actually in Lindsey's head, because he'll say things that indicate he knows and feels a lot less than he actually does. Of course, it's not that I've actually been inside of Lindsey's head like in that Being John Malkovich movie. . . but I still think that what's inside the Buckingham noggin doesn't reflect what comes out of his mouth.

Michele

[Johnny Stew]

Snippet of "Underground" now. I think this one might be a sleeper -- going to REALLY grow on us.

[DavidMn]

Underground is playing as we speak! I LIKE!:nod:

[Maccafan5000]

Is "underground" the theme of his album?
It's mentioned a few times in different songs. Wonder what's up with that.

[AliceLover]

Ok who else is pumped they played Love Runs Deeper AND The Right Place to Fade both on the same show. I was so excited to hear them. Plus OOTC songs put into the set...AWESOME! He should really go out there play all of OOTC and play all of GOS and call it a night.

[MacMan]

Underground is playing as we speak! I LIKE!:nod:

I like too... Sounds beautiful. Too bad this radio stream kinda sucks... But the Rockline website versions are always nice and clear.

[wondergirl9847]

I LOVED the Underground snippet. 20 mother-friggin' days ya'll.

CAN.NOT.WAIT :)

[MacMan]

Ok who else is pumped they played Love Runs Deeper AND The Right Place to Fade both on the same show. I was so excited to hear them. Plus OOTC songs put into the set...AWESOME! He should really go out there play all of OOTC and play all of GOS and call it a night.

I'm curious how he's going to pull off the sound of these two albums without the guitar army!

[DavidMn]

I like too... Sounds beautiful. Too bad this radio stream kinda sucks... But the Rockline website versions are always nice and clear.I'm listening to the station in San Francisco that one sounds great.

[DavidMn]

played bass. LOL JOHN MCVIE YOURE FIRED:laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

Mark in Las Vegas wants to know about LB's regional music influences -- did he go to clubs and hear local bands, etc.

LB says he was "sort of a square," because he has a folk style before he had lead skills. Played bass in Fritz (didn't name the band by name though) and other band-mates knew what was going on in the local scene, but LB was always playing catch-up. Did see great bands at the Filmore though and picked up on the ambience of that.

[Johnny Stew]

Nancy from Indiana!!!!!!! :blob2:

[SuzeQuze]

Yeah, I know he hasn't forgotten. He's talked about the crazy women in his life in discussing why he had never been a father before. He said they were crazy and that he was too. Actually, to me "Lindsey language" is a little different than what's actually in Lindsey's head, because he'll say things that indicate he knows and feels a lot less than he actually does.

Michele

Oh I agree. He chooses his words very carefully. Nothing comes out of his mouth that he doesn't want to be seen on the front page of the paper. I bet he can keep any secret! :lol: He's just very private and reserved about what he'll reveal. Which is really smart IMO.

[DavidMn]

nice question Nancy. Very interesting!:)

[Johnny Stew]

Nancy asked how LB comes to his new arrangements -- studio vs. live.

LB said he's not really even sure! Can't say what the impetus was to take "Big Love" and turn it into a single-guitar, but probably because he was looking for something to do similar to "Never Going Back Again."

Says at heart he's someone who likes to make records, and you want to keep records in an abbreviated framework -- to get out what you want to say in a concise way. Live and recorded versions tend to have an apple & orange thing about them.

[Johnny Stew]

Mike in Virginia wants to know if Tusk is the Mac album LB is most proud of, and what does the cover mean.

LB says he hasn't a clue about the cover -- possibly "biting the hand that feeds you." Says the album is what he's proudest of in Fleetwood Mac -- talking about the success of Rumours, and the band could have followed the expectations and recorded Rumours II. Says what happens when you have that success, it gives you freedom -- but you have to use that freedom. Tusk is the big example of the starting point of how he tries to approach his creativity.

[sodascouts]

Wow, I can't believe I got on! I just wish I'd said how much I admire him before plunging into my question, 'cause after he answers you're out of there!

[DavidMn]

Wow, I can't believe I got on! I just wish I'd said how much I admire him before plunging into my question, 'cause after he answers you're out of there!I know! isnt it frustrating? Those national radio are really like a cattle call for the callers. :laugh: Excellent question btw Nance. Which shows are you going to btw?

[SuzeQuze]

Wow, I can't believe I got on! I just wish I'd said how much I admire him before plunging into my question, 'cause after he answers you're out of there!

He knows. :D :lol: And if not you'll likely have another opportunity. Like yelling it out during his concert or something. I missed you cuz I thought it was over for some dumb reason but heard most of his answer.

[Johnny Stew]

Wow, I can't believe I got on! I just wish I'd said how much I admire him before plunging into my question, 'cause after he answers you're out of there!

I take it you don't remember squeeling "I LOVE YOU, LINDSEY!!!" before they cut you off? ;)

Seriously though, I think your admiration for Lindsey was well expressed by the thoughtfulness behind the question. :nod:

[Johnny Stew]

Hmm... yeah, not loving the studio version of "Time Precious Time." It's that fussy, too-many-things-going-on sound that I'm not crazy about.

The acoustic was actually better.

[AliceLover]

I take it you don't remember squeeling "I LOVE YOU, LINDSEY!!!" before they cut you off? ;)

Seriously though, I think your admiration for Lindsey was well expressed by the thoughtfulness behind the question. :nod:

Time Precious Time kind of makes my ears hurt. Other than that, I am still pumped for this new album. They played some great songs from it. I am also loving all of the OOTC references.

Congrats Dave and Nancy!!!! :thumbsup:

[wondergirl9847]

WOAH. The guitar in Time Precious Time is super sped up! LOL

This album is gonna friggin' rule. I cannot WAIT to see him live and hear this new stuff and OOTC too! I think I'll go on record and say this tour will be the best LB solo EVER.

[SuzeQuze]

I take it you don't remember squeeling "I LOVE YOU, LINDSEY!!!" before they cut you off? ;)

Seriously though, I think your admiration for Lindsey was well expressed by the thoughtfulness behind the question. :nod:

:o Omg what's wrong with that? I totally yelled "We love you Lindsey!" when he was here in Boston. He smiled, haha. It wasn't during any playing though, he wasn't speaking either. And I only said it once. Sometimes u just gotta!

[sodascouts]

Aw, thanks guys! (LOL JS!)

The shows I plan on attending are Chicago, Milwaukee and, of course, Indianapolis.

Lindsey ROCKS MY WORLD! ;)

[Wldhrt315]

Oh Booo! I was on hold in the que to get on air and they just drop the call saying that no more calls were making it on. Who knows how many people were ahead of me. Oh well..... Congrats to all who made it on air! Lindsey is so humble! Those performances blew me away. Sigh! I.am.in.love.

[Maccafan5000]

Very good question Nancy. I truly am impressed with the questions on this Rockline, it was surely a great one.

My phone battery kept dying (very annoying) so even when they answered my call I couldn't stay on long enough to ask. Hopefully I'll get to meet him after a concert to make up for it :)

[wondergirl9847]

Congrats to David and Nancy for getting on air with The Man! :blob1:

I'll see you in Chicago, Nancy. :)

Tiffany, that's what happened to me on the last Rockline. I called in 15 minutes before the show.....and stayed on hold for 2 hours almost....and never got on the air. :( I had a good question too.

[estranged4life]

Wow, I can't believe I got on! I just wish I'd said how much I admire him before plunging into my question, 'cause after he answers you're out of there!

I will wait to hear this installment of Rockline once it makes it online (Rockline isnt broadcast on ANY stations in my area on Wednesday nights) since I am tied up with torrents at the moment.

[DavidMn]

so that's the end. I cant wait to listen to the re-run to hear just how much of an idiot I sounded like.:laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

so that's the end. I cant wait to listen to the re-run to hear just how much of an idiot I sounded like.:laugh:

You didnt. I'm pretty sure I would have stuttered.

[Wldhrt315]

Mine too! My palms were sweating and my heart was racing just knowing that they could pick up my line at any moment. I may not even have been able to get question out.

[Johnny Stew]

:o Omg what's wrong with that? I totally yelled "We love you Lindsey!" when he was here in Boston. He smiled, haha. It wasn't during any playing though, he wasn't speaking either. And I only said it once. Sometimes u just gotta!

Nothing wrong with that! :xoxo: Just don't yell out "I love you, Stevieeee" during "Say Goodbye"... or "Has Anyone"... or "Beauty And The Beast" (I can't believe people do that. :rolleyes: ).

[MacMan]

so that's the end. I cant wait to listen to the re-run to hear just how much of an idiot I sounded like.:laugh:

I completely missed you on air David... Both you and Nancy. The station I was listening to took really long breaks, and had I not been reading the boards, I wouldn't have known that they were ommitting sections! Bastards! I sent them a nice email :)

I'll have to wait for the online rerun too. Thanks for the heads up on the San Fran stream, listened to the last bit over there.

[Johnny Stew]

Oh Booo! I was on hold in the que to get on air and they just drop the call saying that no more calls were making it on.

Tiffany! How've you been?!?

Wow, it's like alumni night on the Ledge. :thumbsup:

[Wldhrt315]

Hey Brian!!! I was just thinking about you recently. Wondering what you were up to. We should chat more often.

[sywlindseyfan]

Hey guys my heart is still beating a mile a minute. i am marty from ca. and I was the guy asking the questions about his writing process, and the studio work, and the "perfect track" hahahah

[SuzeQuze]

Hey guys my heart is still beating a mile a minute. i am marty from ca. and I was the guy asking the questions about his writing process, and the studio work, and the "perfect track" hahahah

You did great. :thumbsup: All the questions tonight were really good.

[Maccafan5000]

Marty, awesome job!!! They even came back to interview you, how exciting :blob2:

Great questions!

[SuzeQuze]

Nothing wrong with that! :xoxo: Just don't yell out "I love you, Stevieeee" during "Say Goodbye"... or "Has Anyone"... or "Beauty And The Beast" (I can't believe people do that. :rolleyes: ).

OMG some guy in Vegas a few years back was THE WORST. I don't get it.

[sywlindseyfan]

yes there were lots 'o great questions thank you SuzeQuez!

[wondergirl9847]

I was hoping more Ledgies made in on the air!! Congrats Marty! You had fantastic questions and I love that Bob gave you more airtime because he liked that you were a younger fan. :)

[Wldhrt315]

Congrats Marty! I enjoyed your questions.

[Wldhrt315]

Does anyone else want him to play a BN track during the next Mac tour? I had that question waiting to be answered. "Lola" or "Without A Leg To Stand On" would rock! Of course "Frozen Love" but that would be hard because I don't think Stevie wants to sing any of her BN tracks for some reason.

[wondergirl9847]

Don't Let Me Down Again would be AWESOME. Am I on drugs or did they do that one a few times on the SYW tour? LOL I cannot remember crap.

[Wldhrt315]

Don't Let Me Down Again would be AWESOME. Am I on drugs or did they do that one a few times on the SYW tour? LOL I cannot remember crap.

They did it at the Madison, WI show in May 2004. Doh, I was there! Maybe I'd want him to do those songs on his tour not the Mac's.

[sodascouts]

They did DLMDA one time - the opening show of the 2004 leg in Madison. I was lucky enough to be there and hear it. It was SO AWESOME! But according to Taku, who I talked with later, it didn't go over well with the audience.

I figure they should've at least played it two or three times before coming to that determination!

The BN question would've been a good one, BTW.

[iamnotafraid]

I talked with Mr. Buckingham tonight! Awesome.

I was just about as nervous to hear myself on the playback as I was to talk with him in the first place. :D

[TrueFaith77]

I missed it :(

[TrueFaith77]

Is "underground" the theme of his album?
It's mentioned a few times in different songs. Wonder what's up with that.

good call.

[TrueFaith77]

LB says it's like scenes in a movie (oh, good grief! :laugh: ) -- says you have to have entirety of the number of songs you want to present and how they work together. Like scenes in a movie, some will get cut because they don't contribute to the flow.

That's so beautiful. I teared up when i read it.

[Betsy]

Should I keep going with the updates, or is everyone getting to listen now?

Thank you Johnny Stew for the running commentary.

(I went to downtown Denver to see the DNC and didn't get home until late.)

I was glad to see that you thought of the rest of us who weren't able to listen.

:thumbsup: (What a pal!) :thumbsup:

I agree. A thrilling read. Almost like being there! I forgot about it so I was actually watching the DNC. Maybe I caught you in a crowd shot, Betsy!

[gretchen]

I missed Linds on Rockline because I wasn't feeling well and went to sleep before it even began!...yep, I'm a LOOZA!! :nod: I will have to pick it up on the Rockline archives in a few days. I can't wait to hear, sounds like it will be delish!

[Peestie]

Thanks for all the commentary.

How many full songs did they play from the new album? Sounds like the questions asked were killer and I'm so glad we're getting more of OOTC on this tour. I'm looking forward to seeing him so much!

I'm glad people are saying he sounds better on these performances than on the Studio C thing because I thought he sounded a bit off. Not bad, but it just wasn't great either.

[BTFLCHLD]

I couldn't bring myself to call this time...climax is so much easier to write than outright say... ohwell. next time. someone upload if they have/can share or let us know when up on rockline... thanks!

[michelej1]

I love that Lindsey said that people complained because he only had one OOTC song the last time. I like thinking he's in tune with us -- even if I know he's really not:laugh:. Michele

[MacMan]

It's up on the Replay site already! That was fast!!

[DavidMn]

I didnt hear at first last night. VERY GLAD to hear Mr Walfredo Reyes is back on drums!:nod:

[DavidMn]

Listening to the Christine comment again, I think the "Burning the bridges" comment was more in reference to the fact that she just decided to retire. not really a rip, if that makes sense.

[justcrazylove]

Im just hearing, great white clips? under the lindsey banner?

[MacMan]

Thanks MacMan, you're fantastic!!!:thumbsup:

[Peestie]

Thank you, MacMan! Great to wake up from a nap and find this.

[estranged4life]

now I can hear some nervous Ledgies asking questions :laugh:

Y'all know me, I will edit this show to make it sound great! I'm edit happy with the programs I now have at hand.




Sounds great to me, A few minor hiccups but those were easily fixed...Thanks again dude!

[Betsy]

Very Fast - Mr. Macman. Not even 24 hours. You beat Jack Bauer!

Thanks for the links. You're great. :wavey:

[SandyMac]

Answered a question about Warren Zevon.

Asked about doing selections from Out Of The Cradle.
LB said he got some complaints about only doing one song from OOTC last time, but since they'll be doing a more rocking set, they'll be doing more from that album.

I am only on page 6 of this thread, but wanted to say "sweet"
I love songs from OOTC

[fleetwoodguy79]

MacMan, thanks so much for hosting this!!!

Is anyone else concerned with the "configuration" of the band this time around? I'm REALLY happy Walfredo is back since he's more of a rock drummer, but Brett Tuggle on bass again?? I'm sorry no offense to him, but he is not a great bass player. If he's playing keyboards/guitar on some songs does that leave no bass again?

I'm really interested to hear how Lindsey changes up the sound this time around!

[SandyMac]

Thank you MacMan for the mediafire links.

I also wonder if Taku will be there this time around or not.

[MacMan]

Thank you MacMan for the mediafire links.

I also wonder if Taku will be there this time around or not.

Everyones had a listen? No Problems? Good!

SandyMac - He didn't mention Taku's name - just Brett, Haywood and Walfredo.

[Nico]

MacMan, that was SO kind of you! I don't even live in an area where hearing it on the radio was possible, and quite frankly I would have forgotten to even check back at the site.

I thought it was the best "Rockline" he did. I was really surprised because there were a lot of interesting and varied questions- and the songs that I heard sound remarkable. It just makes me so happy because these songs sound like how I prefer Lindsey sounding. That sounds weird, but I really feel Did You Miss Me has a lot of Out of the Cradle/"Trouble" going on with it, and I LOVE that poppy, perfectly-produced side to LB. OotC is my favorite album ever, and I never thought it would be at first listening, but it just got better and better and I got hooked on all the melodies, his guitar, the cleanness, and the beauty of it all. Just brings me to tears, and I hear SO MUCH of that in some of these new songs...I'm very excited about this album and seeing him live. Wow.:blob2::wavey:

I guess I'll mention the other reason I enjoyed this interview. Though there were a few, I think Lindsey didn't dip too heavily into his "stock answers" and over-cliche metaphors. I love him to death, but I can't lie he BORES ME to no end with some of his interviews, constantly repeating the same answers, sometimes verbatim. Yes I've hit the forward button. Many times. So glad the man was ON for this!!!:)

[iamnotafraid]

So how many Ledge members made it on to the show?
(I believe I was the second caller).

I'd like to listen again and place who asked what, if somebody would
post a list.

Thanks.

[lilymoon]

thanx, macman - you are a saint. :blob1:

DavidMN (Dave from Minneapolis) was first, you were second, SYWLindseyFan (Marty from California) was third, and Sodascouts (Nancy from Indiana) was the fourth and final Ledgie to talk to Lindsey. :)

[iamnotafraid]

Thanks for the info Johnny Stew.

[David]

So how many Ledge members made it on to the show?I was the guy who compared OUT OF THE CRADLE to the Beethoven 9th.

No, just kidding. That was obviously a dilettante. CRADLE has nothing to do with the 9th. It's as plain as day that the real Beethovenian connection there is with four of the six variations that close the Op. 109 piano sonata.

[vivfox]

This is incredibly cool! The Ledge Represents and The Ledge Rocks!!!
