View Full Version : Lindsey and Adam Levine?
from twitter. hope this was random, and that it doesn't mean Lindsey is guesting on some show like the voice.

Yesterday my mom and I were within a 5 foot radius of Lindsey Buckingham for a really long time and it was really really cool. #fangirlstwitter
@elizabethc14
There was one moment that @adamlevine and Mr. Buckingham had a conversation right in front of us and we tried to look away but couldn't.

What's wrong with that? It's great exposure for his name.

i guess the voice is better than some other possibilities. :shrug:
adam levine is not my cup of tea. he may be an extremely nice guy and look good without a shirt on, but he's such an ordinary looking man with no voice and boring songs - imo, of course. considering he's selling tons of records and is reigning sexiest man alive i can understand how ymmv. ;)
i like it much better when LB gets exposure through working with people like Trent Reznor / NIN, who in turn go on raving everywhere about his mad guitar skills, exposing him to completely new and different audiences. :nod:

I remember when Adam's band broke up and nobody seemed to care. Then he got this tv show and it completely revived his and their careers. Who knows what it might provide for Lindsey.

if that's the audience he wants. i don't know - who are people who are the main audience for the voice?
for some reason lindsey or someone in his management seems to think of him as pop musician, and they don't get that what was called pop music he was crafting in the 70s is not anything like what is called pop music now. on the other hand, i can understand the exposure of songs in the commercials that everyone catches, and can definitely understand video games that all kinds of people play.
(just a preemptive fyi - i'm not referring to SN's current tv show appearance -although i don't watch it, any show that has Jessica Lange in it must be well worth it in my book.)
i would say Aerosmith was pioneering in so many kinds of new ways of music exposure and money-making. some of it may have been serendipitous (Run-DMC cover that resurrected them), but it sure looks like either someone in that band or in their management is a marketing placement genius.

Maroon 5's music has turned into generic dance pop stuff now, but they used to put out some pretty quality pop-rock stuff. Adam has a distinct tone that may or may not be someone's cup of tea, but he can definitely sing in a technical sense.
That said, I highly doubt Lindsey is guesting on The Voice. Adam is apparently a big FM fan (he brought Stevie out and duetted with her at a show in the past) and based on the tweet it sounds like they were just in the same place and started talking.
I wouldn't mind if Lindsey did do some more higher-profile appearances, though, because obviously it would expose new audiences to him.

????? Maroon 5 never broke up

yes, i think that's what vivfox and i were really discussing - hypotheticals on what different fans would consider to be appropriate higher-profile (whatever that means?) appearances or new audiences exposed & appreciative of Lindsey's music.
that said, how cool would it be if you run into LB talking to AL while holiday shopping?

Oh yes, they did. They are from Az. and I was living there at that time and it was in the press. I remember totally not giving a damn.
On Edit: Come to think of it, maybe it was another AZ. band I'm thinking of. Anyone else recall this???

Maybe Levine will rave about Lindsey.

Well since Stevie was on the season one finale, maybe Lindsey wants to do it as well?:shrug:
I'm a fan of the Voice (don't really like the judge's music, though).
Maybe Levine will rave about Lindsey.
somehow i find the thought of Levine raving about Lindsey a bit different than Reznor raving about Lindsey. :shrug:

:confused: why? not understanding what does this have to do with Stevie?

Stature is one thing, but if it means getting an awareness of Lindsey's work into the heads of a new audience, then I'd take Levine's raving. Granted there are people who I don't want working with Lindsey, but I don't mind them admiring him.

Agreed. Trent is an artist, with an Academy Award and a Grammy and Adam is an "artist" without either. At least not without the rest of the band. (Term of artist is my opinion.)

Lindsey doesn't have a Grammy without the rest of his band, either. :shrug:

The 2007 Fashion Rocks with Carrie Underwood? No, I didn't want that. No one did. :lol:

It's true. Hard to believe Lindsey doing GYOW on that ridiculous show was 6 years ago, but all this time later, Carrie is still thriving. I mean, NBC got excellent ratings, so no matter how much criticism The Sound of Music got, in that sense it wasn't a failure.

I'm thinking that Lindsey might want to one up, for lack of a better word, Stevie. Or maybe I'm wishing that somebody I like will preform on that show again.

I think this is super cool they were spotted talking to each other! And we also don't know the location...so it may have nothing to do with the voice. Knowing Lindsey's opinions about those reality shows, I doubt we'd see him on the voice, but it wouldn't shock me either.
Since Linds is a producer he probably knows everyone in the music biz, and Adam probably knows a lot of people too through the Voice and Maroon 5, it doesn't really surprise me that they were in the same vicinity...esp in LA. I love it when people in music are spotted together!!
