My Little Demon

[teedeerocks]

Has anyone noticed on The Dance video during Lindsey's intro to My Little Demon he's talking about fighting for the right choice or something and the camera flashes over to Stevie and Christine and Christine just gives him a smug smile and head nod while Stevie just slowly walks toward him with her head slightly down but with her eyes looking up(that "I'm gonna slap the **** outta you"look)? He seems to be talking to Chris through most of the intro.Also in the beginning of the MLD intro,Mick starts playing around using his sticks as horns and Lindsey says"I was talking about my demons,not yours" and Mick stopped his silliness immediately,the smile left his face,and he turned away from Lindsey.Any thoughts on this?If only we knew what was going on-until then,we can only speculate:shrug:.Just curious about everyone's opinion or insight.Thanks alot all...

They repeated the thing with Mick "my demons not yours" several times throughout the tour, when Lindsey introduced the song, so they obviously thought it was amusing and made it more of their script.

This, I definitely noticed. It's like she's wondering how far he's going to go as far as an explanation- and it's making her uncomfortable. It seems as if each knew the other was thinking about the same thing.

I think he kind of looks and talks to Chris during things like this (where he's not comfortable speaking in public) because she's comforting and safe to him- unlike Stevie.

:lol: I bet that's the first time she's ever been called comforting & safe!

At least she threw drinks. He could grab one and relax. :lol:

So true, touche!

[singertobe]

I noticed. I just thought they were bored. And then Christine is like "sarcastically Yeah, ok. Can we get on with the song now?"

[MikeVielhaber]

I doubt his speech was spontaneous. I'm sure they all knew what he was going to say.

Interesting.. that reminded me of an article where they were discussing editing the Dance tapes-

Resentments and bruised egos delayed healing for years. On a recent afternoon at Nicks' home overlooking the ocean, she and Buckingham settled at opposite ends of a plush green velvet couch to reminisce warmly. Only once did they engage in playful bickering, as they discussed editing the Dance tapes-

He: "Too much talking, right?"

She: "Too much talking."

He: "What would you take out? There's too much of me, obviously."

She: "Well, I didn't think there was too much of me, because I didn't talk."

He: "No you didn't, so somebody had to. Should we take out my talking bits?"

She: "It doesn't matter to me. Whatever you want is fine."

He: "Well, call me later."

She: "Well, you're here now."

He: "But this isn't interview material."

Such banter constitutes an amazing breakthrough for a sexy rock dyad that devolved into a fuming feud.

I say always let Lindsey talk! I personally love analyzing every little detail he's willing to give us.

I agree with Stevie. Lindsey needs to shut up a little of shows.

I don't like hearing Christine much either. Probably because she was wasted.

"Well we haven't played anything from the Tusk album so, we'll try some out tonight for you.. etc...........

[teedeerocks]

Stevie didn't REALLY say someone talks too much,did she?She's usually Queen of the Chatterboxes..Also I didn't notice Christine was was wasted-I thought that was just her being her.

Don't think she was wasted for the Dance. I think the referral was to old tapes from the 70s and 80s.

I noticed Chris' forced smile when Lindsey is wittering on about "the positive choice". I think she just hates anything she thinks sounds pretentious or convoluted. Amen to that.

Incidentally, on the most recent tour, I thought Lindsey's speeches were longer than normal. I might be wrong. Of course Stevie's Without You one was the longest...

Was referring to the Live Album, released in 1980,

I felt the same way watching DRules. I felt LB was trying to get things done and nobody else really cared. No wonder he got pissed CM left.

That's the way I felt.. but also that he had an uptight/nervous vibe, maybe afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.

That reminds me of when she's telling Christine she didn't hear any background singing on Sara, "because there wasn't any." That was so hilarious.

They're all really sarcastic. I'd like to hear more of them talking to each other.

I've heard that tape! Christine kept screwing up, and admitting it. lol

Wow, we saw the same exact thing.

like he feels he has to walk on eggs trying to keep peace? ;) i didn't get that feeling from the movie that much, although maybe in some scenes.

either way, he still always gets accused of being a dick in the end. :shrug:

when i read about DR doc on these boards before ever watching it, all everybody kept saying was that LB comes across as a complete dick in that doc. then i watched the doc, and i was like "huh? what were those people watching?".

hopefully he should be fine now she's back, and they'll be happily working together in his studio, right after he dazzles everybody at the grammys.

That's right CM and LB.. Put your money where your mouth is. You want a grammy.. makes some great ))()()#*(*@(*@ music....

I think Christine is well rested and ready to work.

they want a grammy? :confused:

[jbrownsjr]

They did for, The Dance.

what tape is that? does anyone have a link or download?i'd really appreciate it-i love to here the dialogue among these 5 fireflies!:thumbsup:

[teedeerocks]

I watched this again and got some ideas(this is what happens when you're stuck in the house due to a snowstorm).If you listen to the words to MLD he says"hard as a rock,dry as a bone.big dog/little dog I will take you home"-(you do the (sexual) math).Maybe trying to make the "positive choice"refers to him trying to decide which"dog"to take-big dog(Kristin)vs little dog(Stevie).Could be why he got the looks from the ladies-Stevie for obvious reasons,Chris because she has been on the receiving end of this type of thing before.Anybody with me or am I just losing it?:shrug:

I've always interpreted My Little Demon as being about Lindsey's absence from the band and the internal conflict about whether to work with these people again. The song actually reaches back to Bwana, where he makes a "demons" reference. I don't know if he realizes he did that, since he didn't seem to remember he'd used the "faces of glass" image three or four times. And, Bwana, as we know, is about Mick. So, with My Little Demon, he's still struggling with some of the same demons.

Anyway, The Dance intro to the song was probably planned, but I'm not sure the rest of the band knew what he was going to talking about. When Mick hit the drum and Lindsey joked about it, it seemed to relieve some tension, and so they decided to keep using that bit as the tour went on. That's my speculation.

Okay, I need some help. Everyone here seems to have the impression that Christine is tough as nails. I've got that impression as well, though I'm really not sure why. She just seems to be a strong-willed person who calls it like she sees it.

But can anyone here offer some examples of how she earned that reputation? Maybe links to interviews or videos, etc.?

As for "My Little Demon," I love the manic energy of that song. I know lots of fans want newer songs if and when they record a new album, and I certainly do as well. But part of me wouldn't mind having a nice, clear studio recording of MLD. [Aside from THE DANCE, I've only heard a very rough-sounding version of what sounds like a Lindsey solo demo.]

Personally, I think Lindsey's opening speech is a bunch of pretentious silly talk. He mulitplies the prentension when he pauses and sighs before finishing ["...I think it's just important toooooo.....<ahem!>..."]

Dude. Just play the song and let it speak for itself.

Thanks,
matt

I don't have that impression. Christine can be brusque and direct and can put people in their place, but I also think she can be very compliant at times, as well.
