[tango87]

One for all you American types to watch:

[lbfan]

That explains the work he had done.

[FuzzyPlum]

... just a looking out for loooooove

[bwboy]

Ugh- I hate American Idol, but I’ll DVR it and watch Lindsey, plus Chaka Khan is always worth checking out. I’m having a laugh imagining Lindsey and Katy Perry sharing the stage! Not to badmouth Katy but her music is too over the top for me. Actually, Lindsey might be a great producer for her- he could bring her music back to Earth!

[jwd]

Sheryl Crow is set to "hit the stage" as well. Wouldn't that be a very interesting duet?

[Storms123]

Stevie might kick Sheryl out of the Coven if she duets with Lindsey

[michelej1]

I am looking forward to seeing Lindsey perform, but who is that man in the photo? Is it a man?

[UnwindedDreams]

I am looking forward to seeing Lindsey perform, but who is that man in the photo? Isit a man?

Kind of Cher-ish with the high cheeks and the stare but with wrinkles; Cher doesn't have those

Cosmo Kramer?

[elle]

That explains the work he had done.

yep, and bad one in both cases.

obviously SN is still not talking to him, but he could have gotten her cosmetic surgeon's # from Christine. whoever the 2 of them are using is doing a great, subtle work. whoever LB used, is doing a horrible work.

am I missing something? I see no images of Lindsey via that link....

I saw it this morning, but I can't remember on what site. I've been looking for it just now....no luck yet.

Either MASSIVE facial work, or massive Photoshop. His face is tighter than than one of Mick's drums.

Here you go. Egads!

Lindsey Buckingham to perform on ‘American Idol’ finale
Fri, May 14 by ABC News

Randy Holmes via Getty Images

Lindsey Buckingham will perform on this year’s American Idol finale, airing May 23, People reports.

The former Fleetwood Mac guitarist is one of a long list of artists of different genres who’ll be taking the stage as this year’s winner is crowned. Other performers include Fall Out Boy, Chaka Khan, Sheryl Crow, country star Luke Combs, rapper Macklemore and the three American Idol judges: Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

It’s not clear whether Buckingham will perform on his own, or with one of the Idol contestants. Currently, there are four left in the competition: Grace Kinstler, Willie Spence, Casey Bishop and Chayce Beckham. This Sunday, they’ll all perform the songs they’ll release if they win, as well as a song “inspired by a personal idol,” and songs by guest mentor FINNEAS, Billie Eilish‘s brother.

Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac in 2018 over conflicts with Stevie Nicks, but Mick Fleetwood told Rolling Stone not long ago, “I know for a fact that I intend to make music and play again with Lindsey. I would love that.”

Whether that would involve the rest of the band remains to be seen; as Mick notes, Buckingham and Nicks would first have to bury the hatchet.

Let’s assume that it is Photoshop and that he will look like himself when we see him on American Idol.

This would be a great opportunity for him to perform a new song and get it some exposure. We know that won’t happen, but I’m just saying.

[sue]

His hair looks very natural.
But facially he looks like an old aunt of mine, just needs a touch more lipstick.

Ha ha! It's such a shame, isn't it? He was ageing really well around Gift of Screws time I thought, but then he had that first very odd hair transplant for the Seeds We Sow photos, with the false new hairline. He seemed to regret it and then shave it back again, leaving a bizarre five o'clock shadow on his head, and had some much more natural looking work done. I had hoped he would leave it there, but he seems to have moved to his face now...

He's obviously feeling the pressure to make himself relevant in time for a post-COVID, post-surgery re-emergence.

[TrueFaith77]

I attribute some of what I saw in the photo to photoshop touch ups but Lindsey is one of those people who would have aged naturally beautifully. He just needs a new hairstyle.

[bombaysaffires]

Let’s assume that it is Photoshop and that he will look like himself when we see him on American Idol.

This would be a great opportunity for him to perform a new song and get it some exposure. We know that won’t happen, but I’m just saying.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's been some digital enhancements, but based on his appearance with Nile Rodgers, I'd say there's been some needle work (botox/filler type stuff) or some scalpel work... his eyes in particular with Nile seemed to look very nipped and tucked. Eye jobs are often done at in-office surgical suites, and are *relatively* short procedures; facelifts on the other hand... I would wonder about the risks of a heart patient undergoing something like that, but I'm certainly not a doctor..

My guess is an eye lift and some botox. Maybe some fillers in the cheeks but he's always had good cheekbones...:shrug:

elle is right...if you want surgery done well get Stevie's dr, not Sharon's. As lovely as she is in all respects, she wasn't well-served by whomever she used. I will say Stevie's appearance (with a sportscaster at some event???) where she was so obviously freshly pumped with fillers was one of her few shockingly bad appearances.

This whole Idol thing reminds me of an interview Stevie did about whatever show she was on (was it Idol or the other one?? I don't watch any) where she said that if such shows had existed back in her day she would for sure have tried to get on one (whether this is true or her being a good marketer for the show I'm not sure, but I do believe she probably would have) and she added that Lindsey would absolutely NOT have been willing to go on one (which I totally believe). Interesting he's doing it now. He seems in the last say 8-10 years far more willing than previously to play the show "biz" game. Maybe having kids to tell you what is the new way of doing things and no it won't make you "cheesy" or whatever has contributed (a la cranberry juice)...??

[bombaysaffires]

yep, and bad one in both cases.

obviously SN is still not talking to him, but he could have gotten her cosmetic surgeon's # from Christine. whoever the 2 of them are using is doing a great, subtle work. whoever LB used, is doing a horrible work.

Christine may be using her dr NOW, but boy she sure wasn't during her early return/BuckVie days. Maybe THAT'S the dr's number he got...:eek:

thanks for digging it out for me, Homer :eek:

[UnwindedDreams]

I don't think he looks terrible. I mean to me it's still Lindsey.

My gut is telling me it'll be Go Your Own Way with one of the AI finalists. Like he did with Carrie Underwood at Fashion Rocks years ago.

Other curveball I could see is him accompanying one of the finalists who would sing Landslide. I would not want this at all.

ahhhh.....that could be his olive branch to Stevie...:eek:


agreed GYOW is top contender.

[UnwindedDreams]

ahhhh.....that could be his olive branch to Stevie...:eek:

And she would probably say to Karen "Call Lindsey and tell him stick an olive branch up his new-planted a**"

I'd love to hear him do Blue Letter with a finalist. Or Monday Morning but the chorus is kind of high for him.

Looking forward to the black hair:laugh:

[bwboy]

I will say Stevie's appearance (with a sportscaster at some event???) where she was so obviously freshly pumped with fillers was one of her few shockingly bad appearances.

I know nothing of plastic surgery, but my impression was when it comes to success, it’s a bit of luck of the draw more than the expense or experience of the doctor performing the surgery. Lots of celebrities have had plastic surgery, and some look good and others look horrible. But I don’t believe that some celebrities look bad because they didn’t spend the extra bucks to make sure they look good- a lot must depend on the facial nerves and muscles, for example, things that can’t be determined pre-surgery. So if Stevie looked good after surgery but Sharon didn’t, then I would imagine there were other things in play there besides the doctor or expense. This is all speculation on my part, of course, but if I were going to have plastic surgery, and I was presented with a price range of doctors, I would go with the most expensive one or none at all. Wouldn’t most people do that? So to say someone looks bad after plastic surgery because they didn’t go to a good doctor seems too simple an explanation.

[elle]

I’m starting to think that Lindsey doing rounds and his “refreshed” look means the tour is in the work for this fall.

Maybe I get to spend my plane vouchers from his scrapped 2020 tour after all!
If he is really planning the tour hope we get dates fast while plane ticket prices are still low.

As for good and bad plastic surgeons I didnt see anyone saying that Stevie’s surgeon is more expensive than Sharon’s- just that Stevie’s does way better work. Price and quality don’t always align.

[michelej1]

Poor Sharon and poor choices. She also had a bad experience with electrolysis and filed a lawsuit because she ended up sustaining burns and was left with sensitive scar tissue in intimate areas.

GYOW. Please no. I am going to cancel that song. But I also do not want him to perform NGBA or Big Love or one of those tweedly ballads. He is welcome to perform Second Hand News, however, if he must do one that everyone has heard three million times.

[bwboy]

I'd love to hear him do Blue Letter with a finalist. Or Monday Morning but the chorus is kind of high for him.

Looking forward to the black hair:laugh:

Let’s play detective here. There’s no way Lindsey will perform Blue Letter- he didn’t write it. Too bad, as I love BL and don’t care who wrote it, but I suspect Lindsey wants to sing a song he wrote. I’m So Afraid is intense- too intense, and with so many performances lined up, he won’t have the time required for this song. Monday Morning or Second Hand News would be strong contenders and would get the crowd on their feet as well, but I think we all know, deep down, that it’s going to be Go Your Own Way.

I guess it also depends on the purpose of having these guests- are the performances going to be duets with contestants? Because if I were on American Idol and singing a duet with someone famous, I would NOT think a duet with Lindsey Buckingham would be a good idea. His guitar playing alone would steal the spotlight from the contestant. It should be interesting to watch!

[TrueFaith77]

Who is Sharon?

[ryan4136]

Why would it be anything other than GYOW, Go Insane, NGBA, or Big Love?

[UnwindedDreams]

Why would it be anything other than GYOW, Go Insane, NGBA, or Big Love?

Don't forget Shut Us Down!

[michelej1]

Go Insane by itself or combined with Big Love? Go insane is allowed. I don’t watch American Idol, but I do watch Dancing with the Stars and when they have a celebrity guest on they allow them to sing a classic hit, but they also give them the chance to perform and promote a new song too, if they choose.

[UnwindedDreams]

Yep. Stevie did Secret Love and Landslide in 2011 on Dancing.
On AI, Benatar did old songs. Heartbreaker and We Belong.

I don't see Lindsey doing Go Insane or a new song.
I wonder if Lindsey will have his band with him.
Does Neale still play with him?
Lindsey after all got Neale the job with FM in 97

[David]

I don't see Lindsey doing Go Insane or a new song.

I don’t see him doing a new song because profiling a new song isn’t really the purpose of appearing on this TV show, is it? Seems more like an opportunity to make a televised appearance, period. In that light, I would say that he may do one of his own better-known numbers or duet with a finalist on something that is a little trendier.

The whole thing is more than a little odd because the American Idol audience is not Lindsey’s demographic. Quite frankly, I don’t think any fan of that machine-tooled show even wants to see him at all.

How does a stint on Idol serve his legacy? He’d be better off working with David Byrne on the music for a theater show, for example.

I don’t think his appearance on AI has anything to do with his legacy- it’s just a way to get his name in the public eye. Between getting fired from FM and his recovery from a heart attack, Lindsey has been in the news pretty much more than ever, so good for him for taking advantage of the goodwill. And while I totally agree AI is not the demographic audience for him, that’s actually another good reason to do the show- exposure to a younger crowd who may have no clue who Lindsey Buckingham is until they hear the opening chords of Go Your Own Way. Then they’ll make the connection. Working with David Byrne wouldn’t get him near the amount of publicity this one night gig will get him. Besides, do you really see LB and DB collaborating equally on a musical project? I can’t see why anyone would fault him for doing a show like this, mainstream as it is.

AI contestants often do FM covers, so he fits in there perfectly as far as the music type. and he won't do anything new considering there are like 10 other guest stars on that finale, besides him. so i gotta assume they will all play in groups or with contestants.

i completely agree that David Byrne collab would give him way more artistic satisfaction and street cred. i guess his record co is going for name exposure before releasing that solo album that's been waiting for pandemic to slow down. i really think this coupled with recent Nile interview means we will start seeing solo dates soon.

Why would it be anything other than GYOW, Go Insane, NGBA, or Big Love?
I'm hoping for a long, screaming version of Not That Funny :lol:

[kenzo]

As a pipe dream for something edgy and also in honor of this board, I'm hoping he performs "The Ledge" :laugh:

[HomerMcvie]

I'm hoping for a long, screaming version of Not That Funny :lol:

Yeah, that should do wonders for his solo career!:lol::lol::lol:

[sue]

I’ll be glad just to see him....however...not NGBA, please!!

[HomerMcvie]

I’ll be glad just to see him....however...not NGBA, please!!
He should do NGBA, and announce, "this song is for FM, and especially you, $tevie. You can kiss my ass, because I'm NGBA".

[David]

I don’t think his appearance on AI has anything to do with his legacy- it’s just a way to get his name in the public eye. Ridiculous. The man is almost 72 years old. His name has been in the public eye since 1975.

Between getting fired from FM and his recovery from a heart attack, Lindsey has been in the news pretty much more than ever, so good for him for taking advantage of the goodwill.What are you talking about? Those who liked Buckingham before he got fired still like Buckingham. Those who didn’t still don’t, and those who didn’t give a damn one way or the other — the American Idol TV audience — still don’t.

And while I totally agree AI is not the demographic audience for him . . .Glad to hear you agree, since it’s completely true!

. . . that’s actually another good reason to do the show- exposure to a younger crowd who may have no clue who Lindsey Buckingham is until they hear the opening chords of Go Your Own Way.That crowd doesn’t care whether they hear the opening chords of “Go Your Own Way” or “Never Going Back Again” or “On the Atcheson, Topeka, and the Santa Fe.” The only reason he is doing this show is to appear on TV. To what end, even I can’t fathom. Probably just some hare-brained publicity thing (as if publicity has ever had any measurable effect on his non-Fleetwood Mac work?).

Then they’ll make the connection. Nobody watching the show who didn’t already know and like Buckingham will make any “connection.” They’ll sit there and watch an old man sing something and wonder who the hell he is and why he’s on American Idol.

Working with David Byrne wouldn’t get him near the amount of publicity this one night gig will get him.Working with David Byrne — which I posited as an example — isn’t a publicity stunt. Appearing on American Idol is a publicity stunt. Unfortunately, it will fail to create much of a stir, outside Buckingham’s longtime audience. Nobody else will care at all.

Besides, do you really see LB and DB collaborating equally on a musical project?No, I don’t, Mr. Literal-minded.

I can’t see why anyone would fault him for doing a show like this, mainstream as it is.Maybe I’m more rational than you?

[David]

AI contestants often do FM covers, so he fits in there perfectly as far as the music type.This I didn’t really know. But allow me this: there’s a substantial difference between seeing a trendy young act sing an old Mac song and seeing an old man who was hot two generations ago sing an old Mac song.

If I’m wrong — and Lindsey is showered with love by TV viewers while the offers roll in — I’ll eat my Tusk.

Well, I didn’t want to be the only one experiencing that. It felt selfish.

[Macfan4life]

Ok, here is the million dollar question. Will they introduce him as Fleetwood Mac's guitarist or correctly as Fleetwood Mac's former guitarist. I hope the truth wins out so people know and especially and band members watching know what they lost. Maybe a bit of google searchers will scratch their heads.......he was fired for dancing?


BTW, he looks great. Many of the comments on here scared me thinking he had botched plastic surgery. He took some grey out and photoshopped his turkey neck. He looks fantastic.

[UnwindedDreams]

I say "Grammy winning Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham"

If it were Rick or Billy on the show I'd be very happy if they were called Fleetwood Mac guitarist.

I can't consider Neil or Mike members of FM because they have not made music with FM. And Freedom doesn't count. Because if Freedom Counts, then Robbie Patton should be called a member of FM.

[elle]

This I didn’t really know. But allow me this: there’s a substantial difference between seeing a trendy young act sing an old Mac song and seeing an old man who was hot two generations ago sing an old Mac song.

If I’m wrong — and Lindsey is showered with love by TV viewers while the offers roll in — I’ll eat my Tusk.

that's why he'll probably do a GYOW duet with a young contestant - kinda like he did at Fashion Rocks. and they will cut out his guitar solo which is the best part of the song so it will look half baked. as long as it's somewhat ok i'm gonna be happy.

his one tv appearance that worked out really well for him was 2011 SNL when he did Big Love guitar solo part. and also Roadies.

[elle]

I say "Grammy winning Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham".

yep. he's Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.

not just guitarist. he's Fleetwood Mac;s guitarist, singer-songwriter and producer. no former bs. Fleetwood Mac doesn't exist right now anyway, so if he's former than Mick and Stevie are former too.

[elle]

BTW, he looks great. Many of the comments on here scared me thinking he had botched plastic surgery. He took some grey out and photoshopped his turkey neck. He looks fantastic.

he does not look great. he had work done under his eyes and above his upper lip. besides the botox to his forehead. and his eyes disappeared.

hopefully it will settle by the time Sunday rolls around, but definitely looked off in the Nile interview and even worse for that heavily airbrushed pic.

[tango87]

Wow- thanks for the sentence by sentence analysis telling me how wrong I was about, well, everything.

That was more entertaining than American Idol itself!

I disagree. He looks fine. No one looks fantastic on a zoom call. For his age, he looks really good.
I also disagree with you about introducing him as a member of Fleetwood Mac. IMHO, that's wrong because it glosses over what happened. I refuse to "pretend" it did not happen and Mick and the band should live with the consequences. When Nile called Mick a gentle and kindered spirit, I almost closed out the interview. Its another gloss over the decision Mick made. Money over legacy. Stevie over the band. Recently Mick talks like it never happened and started praising Lindsey again. I hate puff interviews. Instead of praising Mick as some angelic figure, why did he not ask "Why would Mick kick you to the curb and treat you like this? Just more pretending IMHO and it annoys me to death. Its the elephant in the room and its not asked about? We just are to pretend it never happened and he is with the band somehow?
(**start playing the song Wrong**)
I dislike the pretending and the best thing for Lindsey to do is to go his own way.

I did look again at the photo. You're right. He still looks like Lindsey; it's the cheeks that just make Cher pop in my head.
I respect what you say about him being introduced as a former member. But I also think by him being introduced as Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist, it backfires on Stevie and Mick. By that I mean he's still considered a member of Fleetwood Mac.

I think Lindsey doesn't want to let what Stevie did to him destroy his relationship with Mick. Even in 2018, Lindsey said to RollingStone that Mick is still a great guy.

Ultimately, Lindsey's the one who came out of the firing with integrity. Mac did an oldies tour. Lindsey released his first "Best Of" and it included new tracks.

Lindsey remained an artist and did his first tour celebrating his career with songs never done live. Stevie, Chris, Mick, and John were a jukebox playing mainly songs that were done live plenty of times and songs not written nor recorded by Stevie or Chris (BMW, Tell Me, I Got You, Don't Dream, Hypnotized)

Not to be argumentative, but Lindsey used to perform Oh Well and a couple of other blues songs recorded by FM, and he recorded and sang live Blue Letter for several tours, and FM wasn’t referred to as a cover band then. BMW, TMATTYD, Hypnotized, and Man of the World are FM songs, regardless of who originally sang them. When Lindsey and Stevie joined FM and performed Station Man, Oh Well, Hypnotized, etc were we supposed to consider them a cover band then? Of course not.

When Lindsey was fired from FM, it made headlines. It’s hard to believe that AI would casually introduce him as a member of FM. That would be rewriting history. Unless there’s some sort of huge announcement before he’s introduced saying Lindsey’s back with the band either recording or touring, which with FM is always possible, I think he’ll be introduced as a former member of FM. If anyone considers Lindsey a current member of FM after he was kicked out of the band so publicly and after he won a multimillion dollar lawsuit against them for not being able to tour with them, then the same logic is being used to describe a certain 2020 election. Doesn’t mean Lindsey won’t rejoin FM at some point, but he certainly isn’t a member right now. Ask Lindsey and see what he says.

[UnwindedDreams]

Not to be argumentative, but Lindsey used to perform Oh Well and a couple of other blues songs recorded by FM, and he recorded and sang live Blue Letter for several tours, and FM wasn’t referred to as a cover band then. BMW, TMATTYD, Hypnotized, and Man of the World are FM songs, regardless of who originally sang them. When Lindsey and Stevie joined FM and performed Station Man, Oh Well, Hypnotized, etc were we supposed to consider them a cover band then? Of course not.

You don't have to say not to be argumentative. You feel how you feel... that's fine:angel:
Blue Letter was first recorded by FM; it's a Fleetwood Mac song. Everyday was first recorded by Stevie. It's a Stevie song.

Did Stevie and Lindsey sing new music as well as Station Man and the rest?

Did Neil and Mike sing new music as well as Hypnotized and the rest?

Neil and Mike have no creative history or recording history with the unit of Mick, John, Chris, and Stevie.

And if one says Freedom, why wasn't Freedom performed once on the 2018-2019 Tour but SHN, MM and GYOW were every night.

I await comment on your clause about the 2020 election. Homie? Michele?:laugh:

For me, calling Lindsey a member of FM comes down to new music. Lindsey is the last one who made new music with FM. Sad Angel is on 50 Years Don't Stop.

I wouldn't call Steve Perry a member of Journey bc Arnel's made new music with Journey. Or I wouldnt call Ace or Criss members of Kiss bc Kiss made new music with Eric and Tommy.

[elle]

I disagree. He looks fine. No one looks fantastic on a zoom call. For his age, he looks really good.
he aged beautifully and looks fine, without having to have much work done. in 2012 or so he had started on hair implants and that was a big improvement. and he got rid of jawls. work he had done recently though is much less subtle and i guess he thinks necessary - maybe it's easy to fall into that culture when you live in LA. or show business culture of never-ending youth i guess. i've seen some people having work done recently that i never expected - they look amazing but not like themselves at all (Samantha Bee comes to mind). you can recognize them only by their mannerisms but looking at their faces it would be hard. so no, he didn't have that kind of work done. he looks like himself, but not his gracefully ageing himself. like i said, hope that video was just too close to whenever he had work done and it will settle. but i will still miss his cute smile wrinkles around his eyes, which are probably now long gone. :shrug:

IBy that I mean he's still considered a member of Fleetwood Mac.

I think Lindsey doesn't want to let what Stevie did to him destroy his relationship with Mick. Even in 2018, Lindsey said to RollingStone that Mick is still a great guy.
yes, he will never not be a member of Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey IS a lot of what Fleetwood Mac represents. introducing him as "former" takes his Fleetwood Mac 43-year legacy away from him. 2018-2019 "Fleetwood Mac" was a touring band that made nothing new. pretending that past touring band is "current FM" makes no sense. and Lindsey reconciling with Mick got Mick to stop talking about him as "ex" FM. Lindsey always accepted and said that "Mick is weak" even in the height of 2018. he always laid blame squarely on Stevie's shoulders, not others - even though i and many fans certainly put it on the other 3 too. and IA of course.

is Ozzy a former member of Black Sabbath?

yes, Black Sabbath currently doesn't exist, but they keep being on and off. same as Fleetwood Mac. and Ozzy got fired, they had other huge front people, then he came back, then left, then reunited, and on and on.

I don’t know anything about Black Sabbath so I can’t comment on that. But Unwinded Dreams brought up David Lee Roth and Van Halen and Steve Perry and Journey, and I would be surprised if they were ever introduced as current members of their respective bands.

I guess it could just be semantics at this point, but I can see now, after this dialogue, why people feel the way they do. I think of Billy, Rick, or Bekka as former members, too. I realize that Lindsey’s contributions were much more longer and significant than theirs, but I think people may feel that referring to Lindsey as a former member of FM is downplaying or minimizing his role in the band, and that’s just not so. Lindsey’s self worth or value is not dependent upon his status with FM.

Another example I just thought of is Peter Gabriel and Genesis.

[UnwindedDreams]

To clarify my belief, I woul call Steve Perry a former member. Journey moved on from him and made albums.
imo, FM did not move on from Lindsey. They released a Best Of with Lindsey songs on it and toured to promote that Best Of, playing songs from the Best Of and 3 covers.

I went to a handful of the 2018-19 shows and had fun at most but I feel it wasn't a moving on from Lindsey... it just was he wasn't there. Stevie still did her usual mic turn to sing GYOW and Storms to Neil like she did with Lindsey. Which was kind of out there to me because she doesn't have a past with Neil.

[Macfan4life]

I need to make my point stronger because not calling Lindsey a member of Fleetwood Mac is not meant to take away his achievements in the band.

So let me make it another way. It would please me greatly that after Lindsey performs, Ryan says something like: "The amazing Lindsey Buckingham, gosh he's good, can't believe Fleetwood Mac let this guy go." or better yet....cant believe they fired this guy"


i.e. meaning, I want to world to be aware for those that missed it that he was fired. Let them google it and try to find out why. Its my way of rubbing Mick and Stevie's nose in it on a national stage.

Hope I made more sense in why I said what I said.

[sue]

Could you describe Lindsey as Fleetwood Mac’s previous guitar player.?
Would that be a fair way to introduce him...
He wasn’t in the last line up but was previously.

[elle]

Could you describe Lindsey as Fleetwood Mac’s previous guitar player.?
Would that be a fair way to introduce him....

no. was he just one of FM guitar players in the past?

he is Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham. or Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and solo fame. i saw this recently and made me happy:

"The concept of frontmen (or women) releasing solo projects while still a member of their successful bands can be a dicey proposition. For every Lindsey Buckingham or Pete Townshend side venture that clicks, there are plenty that fall flat (Mick Jagger anyone?). "
usually they would ist LB with Mick Jagger, so this is a nice change.
https://americansongwriter.com/review-the-wood-brothers-oliver-wood-keeps-smilin-with-friends-on-his-first-solo-release/?fbclid=IwAR1N4lDC1jXXUy8vJibsmQtqqavHDe-IvdYFwA8ZgTyXj0zs0a8RGfXRjps

people can google LB and will find everything they want and more about 2018 firing whether or not someone brings it up at AI finale. insisting on semantics of firing at the fluff tv show finale where he is one of 10 celebrity guests makes no sense.

semantics of firing were important back in April 2018, when FM members were having a bs narrative that he left them high and dry just when they signed on for a world tour - because he didn't and that was not true. watching them twisting into pretzels because they didn't have their talking point straight was both amusing and annoying at the time.

now when firing is accepted fact, insisting on Lindsey being a "former" member of currently non-existing band is kinda silly, and also degrades his importance to the band and his legacy with the band.

[Macfan4life]

I could not disagree more. The reality of Lindsey being fired and accurately depicting his status with the band does not degrade his legacy with the band. Lindsey also quit the band and he was still acknowledged as a former member.

Its not semantics. Its reality. When we ignore reality or pretend it does not exist is what hurts the legacy of the band. Accepting Lindsey being fired is factual just like him being a former member is factual. There is no difference. But to each their own. I live in realville. IMHO ignoring reality is pretending he was not fired from the band.

It seems I take a different view than many on this board when it comes to Lindsey's firing. When Lindsey was hospitalized, many on this board melted down because the band was not offering statements from the stage on their tour. I was firm in my belief they should not say a word. You don't throw someone out a window, then run down the stairs pretending to be upset and offer words of encouragement. The band finally spoke from the stage. Lindsey's wife spoke up and she had the same belief as me. How dare they say a word.

Am I bitter?, probably yes. I also don't forget.

[David]

I would introduce him as “Lindsey Buckingham, firebrand risk taker, explosive stage performer, and studio guru of Fleetwood Mac’s most widely beloved albums, whose inventive craftsmanship and dizzyingly creative style have served as quiet inspiration to countless fans and fellow musicians for two generations.”

I agree with this post.

glad you admit, and yeah sounds like it, i've noticed you also have a thing about insisting on being right :]
(i have that too, and i know it's not a very attractive trait :angel:)

the way you see it, you claim as a fact that Fleetwood Mac currently exists. to me fact is that contractually Fleetwood Mac currently does not exist. we've seen in Lindsey's lawsuit papers that is the case. they only have contracts connected to pieces of recording or tours.

:cool: :shrug:

Eliminated ‘Idol’ Contestants to Perform with Music Superstars at the Finale

The American Idol finale is going to be nothing short of amazing. The show’s biggest night will feature tons of performances during the three-hour episode. Before crowning the winner of Season 19 on Sunday night, superstar artists will join some of the eliminated contestants from this season in epic collaborations.

Eliminated ‘American Idol Contestants are Coming Back to the Finale to Perform with Huge Artists

The first duet that was announced today is Cassandra Coleman and Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac in 2018. The pair will be performing the band’s 1977 hit “Go Your Own Way.” Buckingham previously underwent emergency open-heart surgery in 2019 and has been slowly getting back into the music scene since then.

After American Idol’s Disney Night episode, Cassandra was eliminated along with Alyssa Wray and Deshawn Goncalves. Alyssa and Deshawn will most likely be announced as finale performers at some point this week. Cassandra, a coffee shop manager was known for her unique vocal style that always managed to have Lionel Richie up on his feet. She was even expected by some to make it into the Top 5.

“This experience has been beautiful and life-changing” Cassandra said after her elimination. “It has set a whole new path for my life, and I’m so excited to continue this musical journey. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Fully expect American Idol to roll out more performance announcements as the day goes on. Graham DeFranco hinted during our exclusive interview that he would be traveling this week and that we should look out for him this Sunday. We think he has a secret performance in the works with a celebrity.

Other announced performers include all three American Idol judges, Mickey Guyton, Leona Lewis, and Alessia Cara. Which eliminated contestants are you excited to see brought back to sing during the finale?

Lol right? I mean remember all those m&g pics with fans from 2018? He’d be funny and teasing and in the best mood and then when pic snap time comes he’d pull some serious face. So much so that I saw a guy on twitter photoshop a smile on his face for his m&g pic- it was the most pathetic bizarre thing.

He looks like his wife and kids just left him.

[bombaysaffires]

true dat.

At the same time, it looks like he was looking down when this was snapped, so this particular expression may not have been intentional.

That said, who chose to USE it??? There must have been multiple other shots that were better. To think someone looked through a whole slew of photos after the shoot and selected THIS one as the best choice......:eek:

[button-lip]

THIS is what makes me SO INCREDIBLY ANGRY, that he wants to go back, after this public humiliation.

I'm sorry, but if he does, THAT'S JUST SICK. The Tusk guy would never go back. F*ck them. With a shovel.

It's already a bad thing if he wants to go back, but if he also wants to go back with THAT face?.... :laugh::laugh:

What was he thinking? I'm sorry but he looks awful.

That’s hilarious.

The eyes are the worst part. If it was just the cheekbones, fine. But the structure of his eyes has changed and it does indeed look like one eye is lazy. The illusion of youth was not worth this. His eyes were beautiful.

Stevie said Botox made her look like Satan’s angry daughter. I don’t know what to call this look. But I will wait to see what he looks like live on AI, before coming to a conclusion.

I hope Cassandra Coleman is not lame.

zonked out grandpa...?

Anyone ever see the movie Lost in Translation? Bill Murray is a movie actor whose career is waning and his agent gets him a gig doing ads for Japanese whiskey in Tokyo, and as he's doing a photo shoot with a director he can't understand, he begins to wonder "what the hell am I doing here? this is sooo beneath me" and it shows all over his face. It soon turns to "is this photo shoot over yet??"
His face here reminds me of that also.

[GypsySorcerer]

Yes, he had good, happy energy.

I suppose they reminisced about “We are the World”. Lindsey probably said, “what was up with Cyndi Lauper’s bracelets?”

[UnwindedDreams]

Lindsey killed that. Even the "NOOOTTTHER LONELY DAY" sounded better than recent years.

He did the solo to close the song out. It was great to see him having fun with the house band too. None of the other guest performers did that.

Also liked that the didn't do the high chorus, neither did Cass Colman. She was really good. The tambo was great.

Stevie was at home watching (she said she watches AI), not happy:lol:

Lindsey killed that. Even the "NOOOTTTHER LONELY DAY" sounded better than recent years.

He did the solo to close the song out. It was great to see him having fun with the house band too. None of the other guest performers did that.

Also liked that the didn't do the high chorus, neither did Cass Colman. She was really good. The tambo was great.

Stevie was at home watching (she said she watches AI), not happy:lol:

Stevie says a lot of things when it's convenient.....

My other half, who only knows LB because I've dragged him to several shows and actually met him at one meet and greet watch the promo clip and went "OH MY GOD he looks like Caitlyn Jenner"..... :eek:

WHY do his teeth looked so jacked up these days?

[button-lip]

Stevie says a lot of things when it's convenient.....

My other half, who only knows LB because I've dragged him to several shows and actually met him at one meet and greet watch the promo clip and went "OH MY GOD he looks like Caitlyn Jenner"..... :eek:

I met your other half once and he’s a funny guy, and now that you mention it, he’s on the right path :laugh::laugh:

Like someone said on Twitter, he’s 71 and a heart surgery, for God’s sake! He gave a master class in guitar. We should be thankful and hope that whatever is happening on his face goes away soon. Really soon.

[tango87]

That was great! He sounded really good, and looked good too - no real signs of 'intervention', in my opinion. Great to see him up there.

I wish he'd looked at her just once though! He could have been friendlier... Maybe he was a bit nervous.

[UnwindedDreams]

I wish he'd looked at her just once though! He could have been friendlier... Maybe he was a bit nervous.

She did sing a lot of the song. Maybe better they didn't sing to each other...then it really would've been staged like a FM performance.

There's a nice picture of Lindsey and Cass holding hands.

I don't see Caitlyn in Lindsey... but Lindsey can still rock for almost 72. Watching Lionel was fun. He was into the performance a lot.

[vivfox]

That promo clip of Lionel and LB cracked me up. They both have been botoxed to death. Lindsey's teeth look like they are going their own way and he totally looks and sounds like Caitlyn Jenner.
Watching that American Idol performance reminded me of what it was like to be in the gay bars in 1984 with those swaying laser lights going in every direction to keep people entertained while the performances bore you. Every single person in that room looked like they were faking their happiness. The person singing with LB was bland and boring to me and his performance felt like a waste of time. His guitar sounded good but vocally he bored me and I really felt like there was no point in him being there. His job is to enhance the singer he is paired with and yet he ignored her altogether.
Then for heck's sake I watched the Sheryl Crow performance and she looked really happy and into the farce that was American Idol but the guy singing with her was awful. His tone sounded the same on both the songs. He has no range nor stage presence. I never liked this show. Can you tell? Cheesy to the max.

[Feather Blade]

Well, if there is one philosophy he and Stevie agree on, it is the "pick a stage uniform and drive it into the ground."

That promo clip of Lionel and LB cracked me up. They both have been botoxed to death. .

yeah next to Lionel Lindsey looks as natural as can be, considering how much work Lionel obviously has had done.

i adore that clip though because it's such pure typical Lindsey and also because of such obvious camaraderie and respect between the two of them.

He looks MUCH better here.

Note the black face mask in his hand. At 72 with health vulnerabilities I suspect he's continuing to be quite careful.

[michelej1]

Thank heavens the real man looked nothing like that photo shop we were living with for the last week.

I wasn’t happy to have his signature song used as someone else’s back up music, But he was on American Idol and that is what you are there for. It just increased my desire to see him front and center again. He was certainly full of zest and vitality. I am thankful that all of the worst fears I had after his heart surgery have been put to rest.

[jmn3]

I thought he sounded good and looked fine. Sure, he's probably had a bit of work done. So what...it's 2021 and the guy is in his 70's. His voice sounded solid and the solo was good.

[FuzzyPlum]

Hmmmm. I've got to say, I was hoping for something a bit better than that. Lindsey just stood there and looked straight ahead (was he sub-consciously ignoring Steve?). I thought he could have looked at the girl and given her a bit of a smile. Maybe even one of those 'points' he does now and then when he's singing. He started to open-up right at the end but overall it was a bit...boring.

I thought he sounded a bit breathy at the start. Maybe they'd done a number of rehearsal run-throughs. Good to see he looks okay though.

While I do agree with you 100% that he could have at least looked at the woman he was singing with, I really don’t think Stevie was anywhere on Lindsey’s mind during that performance, Fuzzy Plum. He’s moving on with his life and his appearance on AI is proof of that. Maybe I have no objectivity when it comes to GYOW, but I’m going to love seeing it live or on tv anytime, and last night proved true to me again. It’s a great song and crowd pleaser and I’m glad he performed it.

I also laughed when he started to sing the second verse and he caught himself and backed away from the microphone. Then we could hear the contestant singing LOL.

[sue]

I think he sounded a bit tremulous, a bit nervy at the beginning...but then warmed into it and was fine.
He looks okayish, as everyone says, it’s obvious he’s had something done...(no more please)...but what the hell.
He’s fit and well, and that’s the most.

[bwboy]

Then for heck's sake I watched the Sheryl Crow performance and she looked really happy and into the farce that was American Idol but the guy singing with her was awful. His tone sounded the same on both the songs. He has no range nor stage presence. I never liked this show. Can you tell? Cheesy to the max.

I just read on Entertainment Weekly that the guy who sang with Sheryl Crow was literally a last minute replacement- the guy who was supposed to duet with her backed out at the last minute for some reason. Knowing he was a last minute addition may explain why he didn’t sound so great. He had a pleasant enough tone and a nice smile- I’m sure he was thrilled to get the chance to perform again, and with Sheryl Crow no less, who gave a fun performance.

Lindsey probably had the first guy poisoned hoping someone would ask him to fill in.:] Maybe we'll see pics of Sheryl & Lindsey backstage.

Maybe he thinks if he looks directly at a woman holding a tambourine he’ll be hexed.

If he never poisoned $tevie, I doubt he'd do that to anyone else.

Would you kill a lamb if you chose not to kill the big bad wolf? :p

[michelej1]

Not to mention he would never want to perform with SC.

[Storms123]

I thought he looked great (much better than the promo pic) and sounded fantastic. My first thought, when I saw Cassandra was channeling her ethereal, tambourine wielding Stevie that it was a bit over the top, but I didn't watch any of the season, so maybe that's her thing.

If SC shows up in any pics with LB, she runs the risk of getting tossed out of the coven--I don't think SC would risk that.

Hope this is the start of LB gearing up to get on the road this year!

THAT is the moral of the story here. I enjoyed Lindsey's performance. Rock on Mr. Buckingham.

I agree with all of this. Seeing his face in the candid Instagram pics was a relief. And he played/sang very well.

[David]

I guess I’m an outlier. I finally saw this thing on YouTube and thought it was awful. I know nothing about the woman he sang with other than that she brought less than nothing to the song (to me, she sounded like a banshee with sunburn). The two of them had literally no reason to stand onstage side by side and sing anything, whether it was “Go Your Own Way” or “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat.” Vivfox was right: this was stale cheese — worse than any lame tribute act I ever saw. The 1980 Lindsey Buckingham would have taken this embarrassing marketing ploy and stuffed it back in the jacket pocket of whichever suit suggested it. This TV thing goes against everything Buckingham has ever said he is proud of about his craft. Cheese City. Shameful.

[wilsonmac]

Sorry man, it wasn't that bad. I for one am happy he isn't taking himself too seriously and went out and had a good time and gave a young performer a memorable moment. She was obviously grateful for it. His guitar solo was in perfect time (always has the best timing) plus he had to tweak the performance slightly singing a different part than he normally would. The house band was super into it as well. Lindsey and Lionel Richie go way back and it was a good promotional opportunity; I think that is about all there is to it. He put himself in the spotlight for those who don't know anything about him, which made it a success in my eyes. Happy to see it.

[UnwindedDreams]

^ Great sentiments.
Also, after not performing on a stage for over 2 years, this was something fun for Lindsey to do.
He didnt have to fly there, he probably drove himself:laugh:
I thought Cassandra had a fine singing voice.
As a point of personal pleasure, it was nice to see him play his song on a stage for millions after Neil Finn was singing it and Mike Campbell was playing it for 1 year and a half.

[aleuzzi]

The performance was competent and decent, though certainly not gte

Man, after seeing the performance, I was sure you would see you were wrong and eat a tusk, as promised.

Admit this performance was better than Lindsey and Carrie Underwood on Fashion Rocks.

I don't know, I'm just peeved and aggrieved that he does these things (and secondly that Fleetwood Mac does these things). They don't mean anything musically. What is all this talk about Mac reuniting for one of those fogies-in-the-desert festivals where rock megastars rely on anonymous musicians to play a set of fifty-year-old hits? There's no musical point to that. In fact, there's no difference between showing up on American Idol or reunion concerts at Coachella (Classic Southwest?) and selling used cars. In both cases, you're buffing up the old clunker for sale to nostalgia-driven buyers, and Botox is the wax. (I thought our recent discussion about Lindsey's face work was hysterical because how else do you expect to present a nostalgia act? He can't go out there with just clean hair and possibly expect to appeal to Gen Z TV watchers.)

Fleetwood's message to everyone is: "Buy me because of what I used to mean to you." But they don't measure up musically to what they used to mean to us. If people think I'm being ageist about this, I'm not at all. My honest view is that this band is now musically very weak (excusable) and inclined to characterize its cash grabs as beautiful, soul-fulfilling craft (inexcusable and laughable). Fellow ledgies who adore what they're hearing from Fleetwood Lack are under absolutely no threat from me and my good taste.

(Ledgie: "Then why are you here?") I'm here for the White, Rumours, Tusk, and Live deluxe sets! Best music we've heard in decades from them.

Ha ha very true. I think we all love to live in the past on this board. And yes sometimes its fun when we share our old memories of younger days ;)

These oldie acts do these shows to stay relevant and to make money. In today's digital age, the amount of people buying the download of Go Your Own Way after the show can at least pay Lindsey's family car insurance for the month :lol:

Oh, I'd say 98% of us are living in the past, here. I mean, I'll be 28 this coming December.

If I were them, I'd buy myself a lake house with some good neighbors, and go for a wine induced boat ride every evening. The End.

Because it's getting embarrassing for them at this age. Go away gracefully.

It's the ghost of the past that you live in

[David]

Living in the past is all you can really do with Fleetwood. It's like with Otis Redding or Jeff Buckley fans, too. I mean, physiologically Fleetwood Mac isn't dead. But musically they are. If they want to become a creative force once again and produce a lovely album or soundtrack or anything that challenges and inspires, I'm all for it. But American Idol? Classic Southwest? These are not creative acts, and they don't make anyone relevant.

Any genuine creativity at this point is coming from a few of the members as solo artists, primarily Stevie and Lindsey, both of whom still occasionally write and record. But they aren't artistic surrogates for Fleetwood Mac, which has run completely dry. And the only thing we have from Fleetwood Mac that's worth paying for are very old albums repackaged. Lindsey still has a lot of talent and capability, and the list of things he could do creatively to challenge and inspire is a mile long. He knows that this stupid TV show meant nothing of any lasting value. He could also distribute branded wine through Costco.

[David]

Time is the ultimate judge, of course, right? We'll see whether we're still talking about this TV appearance a year from now. There are dozens of very old Lindsey Buckingham performances we're still talking about years later, after all. If this was really a great one, it ought to be planted in our memories and resurface on the Ledge. We'll see whether anyone is nostalgic for it in the years to come. (Remember when Steve Pond described the 1990 incarnation of the band as "harder for anyone to be nostalgic about"? And sure enough, very few people really are, aside from the more perverse members of the Ledge.)

You are right, of course. We all want from them what any of them is unlikely to give. Their last several tours were fueled on aether.

But I did and do love Buckingham/McVie (excepting the terrible opening song). I keep coming around holding out hope there will be another studio collaboration between those two.

You are right of course, and everyone on the board knows he knew full well that this was a promotional exercise and nothing more. When you consider this and don't take the performance too seriously it's ok and you move on from it.

I know many may think I'm off little on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie had it in her head from the beginning that a perfect reunion would be for the 50th anniversary of Buckingham Nicks which would be in 2023. New or a tour, both, etc... Lindsey still has something to give us creatively and it's frustrating that we have to wait for it, but I think it will pay off in the end.

Off topic, Did anyone notice the new John Mayer cover for his album SOB rock? Looks alot like Go Insane to me :). His influence is felt mostly in small creative circle, but if things like an album cover or a tv appearance get those unfamiliar with what he has done for music (as a producer, arranger, engineer, etc) aside from being an ace guitarist, I'm all for it.

While I did monitors for John Mayer one time, I'm not a big fan. It should be noted that John plays Rick Turner Model Ones, our Lindsey's signature guitar. So it's probably no accident that his Lindsey panties are showing.

The contestant's warbling was unendurable and Lindsey was glaring murderously as though he'd just noticed a delegation of Republicans sitting in the front row.

I’ve seen Lindsey play a whole show with his eyes closed. Don’t ask me why. I have no idea what he was mad about. But I’ve seen him do it. So the fact that he had his eyes open indicated a level of joy, IMO.

[lovethemac1]

Although different, that was really good. Her voice is quite amazing! And Lindsay's playing/voice was really good!

Was it me, or did Lindsay seem almost comatose compared to normal? Except at the very end when he did a little one legged hop move.

Maybe it's just been so long since I've seen him on stage that I'm forgetting perhaps?????

[David]

But I did and do love Buckingham/McVie.Oh, I love it too, Tony. But I don’t call it Fleetwood Mac because they don’t call it that. It’s intelligent new material and it proves that some of the people in the band feel the urgency and joy in writing and recording instead of always retreading old floorboards. But the band collectively is only a massive arena phenomenon for years now, and that’s what I mean when I say it’s weak musically and doesn’t live up to its old creative fire and yadda yadda.

I keep coming around holding out hope there will be another studio collaboration between those two.Sure, I’m all for it. Give me one album and album-heavy little tour afterward instead of ten of these worldwide “reunion” tours.

“Joni Mitchell has joined Fleetwood Mac so we’re going on a world tour and playing all our old favorites, plus ‘The Circle Game’ and we will be on Ellen, too, so come out and see us y’all!” Marketing decisions, whether they apply to smartphones or rock bands, never excite me.
