LB's new social media!

[elle]

just want to take a moment to express how much i appreciate this rebirth of LB's social media and that it looks like he actually hired someone who knows what they are doing and he's supporting it - whether it's his social media active family members' influence or the whole unhappy FM situation put fire under him finally, but this is so refreshing and fantastic!! :]:]:]:]:]:]:]

Whatever it is, keep it coming! He looks hot and refreshed! Thanks, FM! :D:D:laugh:

[Angel75]

It's lovely to see that happy little smile again too

[DownOnRodeo]

Stevie's basement might be the Upside Down, but Lindsey having a social media account is truly a Stranger Thing! No doubt this will be the first of... very few posts. :laugh:

haha that's what i thought when i saw his first 2 posts - because for BuckVie, it stopped there. but then.......... today's post showed up from LB's accounts, less than a week from the first 2, and right after his tickets went on general sale and sold so well. so i'm now cautiously hopeful! :wavey::woohoo:

[DownOnRodeo]

It would be great if it was someone like Cory Buckingham was along for the tour and was running a social media account, like she did for the SYW tour.

[iamnotafraid]

It's about time.

Any truth that he's taking on tour carnival cut-outs
of the Buckingham nicks (lowercase) album with him
for the m&g's?

[Angel75]

Yes, she was a great writer wasn't she. That would be a great idea and nice to keep it in the family again.

[elle]

i'm shocked! floored! WOW!! this is SO AMAZING! LB finally - finally! - having normal social media. one post per day?? WTWCT??

either way, the whole stalking of LB by the perpetrators of the crime against him seems just sad. i thought they got rid of him to be happy, no? but now they can't let him go and follow him down... of wait. sad old people. in the long run, however much this must have hurt, this moving on and [unwillingly] getting rid of dead waste will be so much better for Lindsey - and for us getting new exciting music from him!

LOVE the snark!! This is so awesome, Go Linds!

[Macfan4life]

OMG Lindsey on fire!

[StreetAngel86]

They say timing is everything :) Interesting for sure.

only uses it when she has something to pimp ... or doesn't like someone else getting ALL the attention.
ppl think SHE is actually posting ... come on now.

i doubt she even knows what IG is tbh

Lindsey's twitter is the most glorious thing to happen this week. *love heart eyes for days*

[DownOnRodeo]

ppl think SHE is actually posting ... come on now.

Wait, who posted the selfie then--was it actually Misty Day? :laugh:

[SteveMacD]

Not sure I completely agree that a band is better than a OMS. Either would be brilliant if done right.

[bombaysaffires]

I get the sense that this is someone tweeting on his behalf-- like maybe they are reading some of the comments/questions to him and he verbally comments and his daughter? assistant? whoever is managing the social media is actually writing the answers capturing what he said.:shrug:


something about the language isn't quite Lindsey to me.

mind you, not complaining!!;)

[StreetAngel86]

Wait, who posted the selfie then--was it actually Misty Day? :laugh:

you know damn well it was Jessica Lange.

[DownOnRodeo]

something about the language isn't quite Lindsey to me.

I feel the same, but maybe it's that we're not used to written language from him? In an early interview he says that music is his way of communicating, and he's certainly refrained from press releases and autobiographies.

As for who's actually typing it, I also thought it might be someone else (Kristen even?), but then I recall Richard Dashut's recent post somewhere saying that he "had texted Lindsey and Lindsey had texted him straight back," and he has millennials in the family, so he might be a proficient typist/swipist after all. Also all the younger crowd he's associating with, in the studio or on the political circuit, they may have encouraged him to dip his toe in the pool.

If it is just someone typing it for him, I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is told off for adding too many exclamation points to someone's book that she's editing.

[sodascouts]

This is wild! He might have someone transcribing for him who's rewording to capture the "gist" of his comments.... but I think the reason it might not sound "Lindsey" to us is that we're so used to him using the same phrases that we won't believe it's really him until he tweets about paintings vs. film, big machines vs. small machines, and how these new songs are the best work he's ever done.

Seriously though, he has a rehearsed voice for interviews, and along with that, considered and deliberate phrasing with an impressive vocabulary. I agree that this doesn't match up with that, but maybe this is his more natural, conversational voice - and on Twitter, one must use the shorter words.

I used his Twitter to beg for "Soul Drifter" despite the fact that he reacted so badly when I suggested it several years ago. I figured, "Why not give it another shot?" Maybe now, because the lyrics are so perfect for his current situation, he'll reconsider.

I'm a soul drifter
And I'm out of this town
Ain't no use hangin' round
You see

My heart was broken
My part was spoken
Now the ground has opened
All around me

I'm a soul drifter
And it's out of my hands
So it's off to other lands
You see

It's a new dawn
So it's so long
For the soul lifter
The soul drifter
That's me

[bombaysaffires]

Soul Drifter is one of my faves. On an album full of faves.

How did he react badly?

[sodascouts]

Soul Drifter is one of my faves. On an album full of faves.

How did he react badly?

It was in a hotel bar in Chicago way back over 10 years ago when he was first touring - heady days, back when he found the fact that he had hardcore fans willing to follow him around amazing and it was easy to talk to him. Later he took it for granted that he had lots of hardcore fans and the days of easy access were gone.

He was playing two nights in Chicago and he'd already played a show earlier that evening. He had been varying encores at his previous shows, much to everyone's delight. He asked us if we had a song we'd like to hear him do for the encore the next night in Chicago (there was a group of us). People started suggesting several songs. He turned to me. I said "Soul Drifter" and his expression dropped from a smile to a stone-faced stare. Shoot - I've pissed him off, I thought, and I quickly said, "Or 'Down on Rodeo'." The smile immediately returned and he said, "Yes, I might do that one."

It wasn't just because he wanted us to suggest songs off his latest album - other people suggested old stuff like "Johnny Stew" and he didn't have that reaction.

Who knows.

Hmm, I wonder what the situation was. It sounds really intriguing.

WTH Lindsey--so much for being a "soul lifter"!
That's hilarious about Down on Rodeo though. :lol: Nice save!

Does he have a bit of a complex about OOTC as a whole, perhaps?
There's an interaction with fans on the GOS tour montage where someone asks "So Lindsey, will you be doing any songs from OOTC?" and Lindsey seems to give him a less than enthusiastic response, just saying "We'll see."

And Soul Drifter is on the Anthology so maybe just where he was in his head with that song at the time? Although---so is Stephanie?

this is awesome.

it's so cool to hear him expressing himself in such a different style than that which we've been accustomed to in interviews etc.

I never thought he couldn't actually physically type out a text :lol: but so many famous twits let assistants handle the sorting through comments and picking which ones to respond to it seemed possible here too. The fact that it's actually him is great; no one is filtering. :thumbsup:

He might be talking to text. Either way, it's nice to see him embrace social media and interact with his fans. I don't think he truly knows how important his solo work is to so many.

[Storms123]

His strategy around utilizing social media is spot on. He's out there today tweeting with Fans....Sounds like "Down on Rodeo" is in the mix, most of the musicians from Buck Vie are joining him and Australia is a possibility
I am sure he's watched the Ellen snippets (everyone looks at the car wreck on the side of the road) and seen all the reviews. And today he comes out chatting with fans on Twitter. Love this.

His strategy around utilizing social media is spot on. He's out there today tweeting with Fans....Sounds like "Down on Rodeo" is in the mix, most of the musicians from Buck Vie are joining him and Australia is a possibility
I am sure he's watched the Ellen snippets (everyone looks at the car wreck on the side of the road) and seen all the reviews. And today he comes out chatting with fans on Twitter. Love this.

He’s thinking about fans. You can see it on his songs choices for the setlist.

And I’m sure he enjoyed all the mixed reviews from yesterday (not sure if he actually watched it) and decided it was a good time to share this bittersweet moment of his life with fans. :o

Oh, not "potential" at all, but a legit confirmation!

Me too! I'm just hoping he packs it in after the tour so I can too. :laugh:

Edit: Looks like I'd already created an account years ago but never used it. I've added the official lbuckingham as my first "follow".
The official Stevie Nicks account came up as a recommended follow. <-- Respectfully declined.

I've added the official lbuckingham as my first "follow.
Given that he's spending some time online with social media, I wonder whether he or his kids are checking out the ledge. Hi, Lindsey Buckingham!

Kanye is the biggest jerk in Hollywood. If they tried to work together, Kanye would probably go on and on about how he's a better artist than Lindsey.

[bombaysaffires]

ah! the old "left side of my palette" finally makes its long-awaited appearance!!


See, now THIS is the language I was expecting when he first started tweeting and why those first tweets didn't sound like him! :laugh:

Can "big machine, small machine" be far behind??

[sodascouts]

I actually am kind of bummed that his tweets are starting to echo the same carefully constructed responses that he gives in interviews. Indeed, this seriously reads like an excerpt from an interview. Social media is not about that. He was on the right track when he was using a more natural, conversational style.

[DownOnRodeo]

The difference might be that his less over-cogitated tweets were mostly responses to other people's questions etc.

[iamnotafraid]

Yikes, please don't (not that he himself would likely look at it).

It''s funny if Lindsey was on The Ledge I'd be
more careful what I wrote.

Same goes for that woman. What's her name?

I've always found curious and overblown Lindsey's contention that Fleetwood Mac prohibited experimentation after Tusk.

With those backing vocals, doesn't "Eyes Of The World" sound plenty experimental? Same goes for "Gypsy" (albeit to a somewhat lesser extent).

"Straight Back" and "Book Of Love" sound experimental too.

I don't think Mirage sounds like Rumours at all.

While I personally wouldn't describe Gypsy or really any of those tracks as sounding particularly experimental to my ears, I completely agree that Mirage has very different sonics to Rumours.

I also agree that he harps on about the Rumours > Tusk > Mirage thing quite a bit.

But even if you assume that individual tracks like "Gypsy", "That's Alright", "Hold Me" and "EOTW" are tracks that basically fit the bill as Rumours-esque, I don't think the album as a whole works as well as the preceding three studio releases did. Each of the Rumours songs is so "on point" and tells a clear narrative; with Mirage, I don't get any narrative clarity or cohesion other than "We are a band of solo artists can afford to rent a castle in France for a few months and record some random left-over tracks."

The 1975 album is also a bit of a hodgepodge, being their first effort recording together. Perhaps the better analogy would be to compare Mirage with the 1975 album.

[cbBen]

I agree. He does harp on that quite bit, and I must say I don't really get it. Plus I agree that Mirage is not cohesive.

The other songs aside, I think at least "Eyes Of The World" could fit on Law And Order and is full of off-the-wall oddities.

With those backing vocals, doesn't "Eyes Of The World" sound plenty experimental? .

Well, I suppose Pachelbel might have found them a bit experimental in the late 17th century...

oh dear..... I'm going to have to throw the red flag on his computers comment......:sorry: :nod: :distress:

[Macfan4life]

Thanks for posting all of these. Lindsey is very deep. His words and style of speaking is almost like a college professor. His comments about guitarists are pretty cool. He always believes the sum of all parts is greater than the whole. A guitarist is not there to grand stand but provide intricate parts of the song.
I remember how shocked I was in the early 1990s when I heard a Lindsey interview and he took a slight slam to Eddie Van Halen. I was in shock because Eddie is considered one of the few guitar Gods. But I think Lindsey meant all the song should not only be guitar melodies. It should only be one layer in the song. This coming from the guitarist who considers himself a painter :) This is why IMHO Lindsey is under-valued in the guitar world. He is not a show boater and the guitar is only one part of the song.

I don't know...
If the Destiny Rules documentary is anything to go by, I'm pretty sure that when he is producing his stuff, he's not using computers per se. He was literally still cutting and splicing physical tape. It was surprising to see, but it was obviously the way he felt most comfortable going about the process. And I think there is a nice "craftsmanship" aspect to it. So he might not be equating the old-school physical mixing board dials with virtual settings on a computer software program. (I guess the Fairlight could probably be described as a computer--if he still used it.)

yeah it's hard to know... I'm not sure he does that for everything though...he's quite familiar with ProTools... :eek:
and he certainly uses a lot of computers for his stage shows, playing digital tracks of his songs (backing vocals, additional guitar parts etc) and those files have to get made somehow... But maybe he relies on help from others? it *was* interesting to see the pic (was it on his Instagram? elle will know!) of him standing in his home studio with Brett and some other person at the computer and it had the caption of something like preparing for the tour or whatever... I think you're right, analog is something he can do with his eyes closed and he uses it a lot, but he keeps up with the latest tech and makes use of it to his best advantage.

[John Run]

Lindsey has been a programmer since the Go Insane days, be it the Fairlight synthesizer, the Emulator synthesizer, both of which were keyboards, to Linn and Roland drum machines, to modern day Trinity, Triton, Motif synths, etc. I think in his mind he considers all of these to be instruments and not computers. Tango was a 1980's programming masterwork and you can be quite sure that those programmed sounds were coming from Lindsey and not Christine. There are plenty of programmed sounds all the way up to BuckVie too. However, a lot of these sounds and pads are brought to front through keyboards so I am sure he considers the craft of programming and building soundscapes to be art and the keyboards to be part of his playing even though they are really more triggers.

There was an instagram post from the sitting room in his home studio where he had 2 mid 2000's Triton Keyboard Synth / Sampler Workstations piled up on their sides in the background.

yeah it was posted on IG/twitter/FB - it was Brett Tuggle, Michael Kianka and LB. you will see Michael on stage as a member of the band when you go to a show. he plays samples and keyboard, maybe some backing vocals.

which makes sense with all the info in this post too:

Lindsey now has over 7,000 followers on Twitter! He was hovering in the 6800 - 6950 range for a few weeks and now he is up to around 7013! It's just kind of cool because I feel Lindsey would be really encouraged if he knew how many fans he really had out there, especially at this time when his music is getting better and better.

I think he is just gonna keep gaining more and more :)

Lindsey Buckingham: Fleetwood Mac split ‘completely dishonors’ the band’s legacy
January 7, 2019

Lindsey Buckingham took to Twitter last night (January 6th), chatted with fans and relived a favorite holiday memory. Buckingham, who recently released his triple-disc Solo Anthology – The Best Of Lindsey Buckingham collection and wrapped a full-band solo tour, spoke about his feelings regarding Fleetwood Mac, who after 43 years fired him, seemingly — according to Buckingham — on a whim.

When asked if he missed Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham responded, “I can’t say that I ‘miss’ being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened. So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss especially since I don’t have much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now. What I’m sad about is the split completely dishonors the beautiful 43 year legacy we built together, one that was always about rising above our difficulties in order to pursue a higher truth.”

When pressed as to whether the live acoustic treatment of Fleetwood Mac’s 1987’s Top 10 hit “Big Love” was how Buckingham composed it back in the day, he revealed, “‘Big Love’ was actually written as an ensemble piece, the way you hear it on Tango In The Night. It was later that I realized that a part of my continuing growth as an artist needed to include my reconnecting with my orchestral finger guitar style and to present songs that relied almost solely on that. ‘Big Love’ seemed to be a likely candidate for presenting live in that context, and indeed it turned out to be. It was the first of many!”

Buckingham went on to add a personal reflection, posting, “Though the holidays are over, I often think back on a wonderful memory of Christmas when I was seven. I’d been playing guitar for over a year by then, learning chords from a book and listening to my brother’s rock and roll records, but only had a four-string guitar to play. That season, a package showed up in my Mom’s closet, and I knew what it was. On Christmas I received a beautiful three-quarter size Harmony six-string acoustic guitar. I never looked back!”

Lindsey Buckingham told us recording as a solo act is entirely different than recording as part of Fleetwood Mac: “The way I work when I’m on my own, I mean, it’s very much like a painting, as opposed to working with a group. Fleetwood Mac was a lot like making a movie in the studio, because it’s more verbalizing, and there’s more links in the chain to get from point A, to point B, to point C. Whereas, if I’m working on my own, in a fairly quiet situation, it’s like a painter with a canvas where you may have a certain intent when you start out — and you have a color here and you’re filling it out and at some point the canvas will start to speak to you and take on a life of it’s own and direct you in another direction. And that was a lot of what I was interested in doing.”

Side Notes:

Lindsey Buckingham, who was ousted from Fleetwood Mac last year and recently settled a lawsuit with the group, spoke about the strange situation in which he’s been burned personally, publicly, and financially by people he still claims to love.

During a chat with Stereogum, Buckingham was pressed as to whether he’d ever rejoin Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham said, “Look, it’s Fleetwood Mac, anything’s possible. Maybe they’ll get it out of their system. If they ask me to come back, would I? Sure, because to me I think the lack of a proper farewell tour, if that’s what we’re doing, that doesn’t undercut, like I say, the legacy that we have so carefully built as the five of us, which they’re not doing right now. I don’t know what they’re doing. It’s a cover band kind of deal, and Stevie (Nicks) may be enjoying that, and that’s fine. If she is happy doing that, there is no one outcome that I think is going to be okay.”

Thanks for posting.

His last few sentences above say it all. :(
