And there are people who would call me a commie for contributing money to these people! I wonder why they never offered the CD as a donation motivator! God knows I'd open my wallet. Whoever gets it, please please please make the song available!

OMG, it's over tomorrow....AAHH!! I don't know if it's worth 20 something bucks tho...for the one song, BUT it will be a RARE collector's item and if it IS really different...that would kick butt!!

DILEMMA!!! :confused:

Thanks Brian for the heads up, information added to the new album page and Gift Of Screws page on my site.

Can't wait to hear Lindsey's version ;)

[John]

Forgive me if I'm not up to date on some of the news tidbits. But how does this person know this song will appear on the new album? Are there finalized copies floating around already?

[BlueGrass]

I'm sure this is a song from the GOS leaks...maybe "Murrow" like some of you said.

-Brian Congratulations, Soul Drifter! Soul Drifter won the auction for the promo CD!

Fans should reimburse you!

[brass_monkey]

Damn, sniped at the last moment! At least it was one of us who got it, so I don't feel so bad at missing out.

Soul Drifter, can I be the first to get down and beg you to rip a high-quality MP3 of Peacekeeper off this CD? I'm sure there's plenty of folks here who would host it.

Same for me, my top bid was way too short, hope an MP3 surfaces soon.

[Skylark]

My word! I sure am behind the times! Where can one buy this???
I heard the tour will be...The Peacekeeper Tour!!! Hope that is a true statement for World Peace! Iam Afraid!!! Luv to all fans, Sky:)

Odd.

Um..err ugh...Please look into this object.

[BlueGrass]

Okay..stop making stuff up guys. There is no person that goes by the name of SoulfDrifter1949. The statements above that were censored where never made. Infact...I'm sure if you guys hang around long enough, you will hear the song that is...Peace Keeper.

Goodbye now.

[wondergirl9847]

:lol::lol: Matt, are you reading this?

[seteca]

It's all a big CONSPIRACYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

(Cue X-files theme!!!)

:laugh: :laugh:

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[Johnny Stew]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm terribly confused by the last few statements made within this thread.
I guess I've missed something.
:shrug:



Johnny Stew

[seteca]

I'm just as confused as you are Johnny! lol! I don't have a clue what's going on (especially since I didn't see the unedited post), thus the X-files theme...!:)

Mr. BlueGrass, care to shed some light s'il vous plait?

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[BlueGrass]

LOL, just playing around guys. What SoulDrifter said was only a joke. I'm sure we'll hear "Peace Keeper" if it is a new song sometime soon.

:cool:

I don't either.

[brass_monkey]

I don't either.

Good grief, could you be more annoying perhaps?

If this whole thread of yours was a joke, why did you bother? You've just pissed people off.

But you're right in one respect - the song will leak out one way or another.

Clam down...isn't my fault...she told me to change the post.

You guys gotta chill..wait for the album then you'll hear the song.

[bjk3047]

Why exactly are we to 'wait for the album'? We just saw the the song is available now...why would you be telling us to wait? Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that you know more than you're letting on? Either that, or you're just getting a rise out of people by posting utter nonsense...
-Brian

[CarneVaca]

Somehow I get the feeling there is a correlation between this thread and the turn the discussion in the thread about the Peacekeeper lyrics has taken.

I understand the frustration here. We're all fans. A lot of people here have been generous enough to share music that some of us would never have been able to get our hands on. Why come here to gloat or wink about something that you will refuse to make available to the rest of us? It's rather perverse and it's "un-fan-like."

[seteca]

I don't like the idea of somebody refusing to let other people hear a song (that they desperately want to hear) for absolutely NO REASON. If Lindsey Buckingham did not want anybody to hear this song, it would not have been released on this official CD in the first place. This version of the song has been ready (both legally, and from the artist's point of view) for public-listening since the event at which the CD was given out.

We have been told on the other thread that this is NOT the version that will appear on the album. Therefore, if you've listened to at least one of the GOS demos, you can't even say "we should wait for the album to come out before we listen to it" - that would be highly hypocritical and naive.

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[Street_Dreamer]

The reason why this thread has gotten to where it's at is because of one thing; greed. Think about it, won't you? Thank you.

Matt

[bjk3047]

Greed doesn't enter into it. It's all about taunting and flaunting. By the way, how many songs did you have shared on AudioGalaxy, Matt? I believe the RIAA would call that pretty greedy of you...
-Brian

[Street_Dreamer]

Woah, hey calm down! It's not like I'm the only Fleetwood Mac fan who used AudioGalaxy. And it's not taunting and flaunting, at least by the winner because the person whom won the bid hasn't even posted on this thread and most likely won't either. This topic has become about greed and I'll tell you why. The reason why this has gone so far is because somebody wanted the Peacekeeper song in mp3 format, that is posted in this very thread. If SoulDrifter wants to share this song with people, she has every right to, if she doesn't, well that's just fine too. It's her cd and it's her right to do whatever she chooses with it.
People WANT WANT WANT, that was apparent when the Thrown Down mp3 surfaced. Once the bid ended and the winner, whom happened to be a former poster here, became known, somebody wanted the mp3 and emailed SoulDrifter reguarding it. That's just plain greed; just a few hours after winning a very coveted cd, she gets asked if she's going to share the song with other people. Like I said before, if she wants to share it she will, if she doesn't then she won't. The reason this has carried on so far is because people WANT WANT WANT and it's because of this that nobody is going to get that particular song, at least for a while, and that's just fine with me thankyouverymuch! Have a good day!

Matt [/B]

Well, what did you expect, with it being a "very coveted cd"? God forbid anyone should want to hear a new Lindsey Buckingham song. Greedy bastards! How dare they?

And of course it's "fine with you, thankyouverymuch" because you'll be hearing the song as soon as your girlfriend gets it in the mail, right?

[Street_Dreamer]

My point was not about people wanting to hear the song. My point is HOW people have went about wanting to hear the song by POSTING and EMAILING her and its because of those reasons that the song won't be sent out to anybody (with the exception of myself ;).) BTW, this cd was released late in 2000 with only 500 copies ever made. That means that there are another 499 somewhere out there and I'll be damned if there isn't ANOTHER Fleetwood Mac fan who has the cd but isn't sharing the song either.

Your girlfriend Jessica is a pleasant young lady with a great Web site, but you're hardly the person to lecture the rest of the fans about WANT WANT WANT, Mr. Sullivan.

Not too long ago (but maybe long enough that you hoped I'd forgotten), you were given a 12-inch vinyl of Lindsey's "Go Insane" remix---GIVEN GIVEN GIVEN.

Did the person who gave it to you because you WANTED WANTED WANTED it get an offer of reimbursement for postage? Nope. Did the person get an MP3 of the remix when he asked? Nope. Did the person even get a goddamn thanks? Nope. Did the person get anything? Yep.

He got blasted by you on a public forum for saying that white text on a dark screen was difficult for him to read.

You proved yourself a real charmer on the Burnish.net board, & now you're working your special brand of magic here in this thread. But I'm a little BORED BORED BORED with it.

[Street_Dreamer]

I apologize for not reimbursing you. But to try to humiliate me on a public message board is rediculous and very wrong. If you've got something against me, email me or private message me. I do not recall you wanting an mp3 of the song, if I somehow missed this, I'm very sorry. It was not done on purpose, most likely it was because of the very poor dial up connection I used to have which would kick me off at various random times.
The reason you were "blasted" is because of a few of the other posters whom also added their opinions to the thread whom I have had problems with before. So whatever man, I guess you said how you really felt.

Matt

Being like what?? Are you getting some sort of sick kick out of doing this? Or did you wake up today and randomly decide to severely annoy almost every member of The Ledge??

There were at LEAST three members of The Ledge who put in a bid for that CD. If Neil had won the auction I can say with almost 99.999% certainty that he would have immediately allowed anyone who wanted to hear it to do so. I don't know Brass Monkey but from his/her posts I think it is safe to say that he/she would have done the same.

Yes, we have posted and even BEGGED (quoting one post) to be able to hear this song, not because we're "greedy" (??????) but because we are just as huge fans of Lindsey Buckingham as the person who won the auction, and we have been waiting for 11 years to hear a new official studio album from him.

But for reasons which I'm sure are very good to her, Souldrifter does not want to share. Fine. Thanks for making that clear. I'll wait till the album comes out and hope that perhaps this version of the song might be released as a "B-side" in Mongolia, and then order it from there.

How wonderful! Why don't you give yourself a gold star? :blob2: :woohoo: :woohoo: :blob1: :blob1: :woohoo:

[Johnny Stew]

Ok, let's cool down a minute here.

As someone who's dying to hear "Peacekeeper," i can definitely relate to everyone who's absolutely chomping at the bit, for this to be shared... but we should also remind ourselves that no one OWES it to us to share this.

If someone has it, and for whatever reason, doesn't want to share it... that's their right, and we shouldn't get indignant and demand that they give it to us. We should just accept the situation (and hope someone else will get a hold of it, and share it!).

Although, I think it would be most polite if someone didn't advertise the fact that they have it, but can't/wont share it... because otherwise, people feel left out, and that breeds contempt.

Just my thoughts on the matter.



Johnny Stew

[Street_Dreamer]

There are reasons as to why I have continued to post in this thread and its not because I'm getting some kind of a "kick" out of this. It is because I am responding to something that happened that I feel was very rude and uncalled. People are getting upset over this and for what, song, one song. Previously unheard by the masses, yes, by Lindsey Buckingham, yes but worth posting hurtful and unkind comments? I don't think so.
The reason I "hinted" about the song not being shared is because of the email. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not going to be shared. The cd hasn't even been sent to its destination yet (at least not to my knowledge.)
The intention of what I said was in fact to displease some people because I KNEW how the response would be, however I didn't expect what happened in David's post. I do not feel that it was right to personally attack me over something that happened a year ago, especially since it was between him and I and that it had absolutely no bearing on the subject matter.
This whole thing started because ONE person decided to ask for something, then post the "response" to everyone, then a few minutes later delete the post. It led to more questions than answers which led to more confusion. I said what I felt was right and I still feel that way. If patience were used in this case, I wouldn't even have posted in the beginning but it was the circumstances under which this whole "thing" began that angered me.
Eventually everyone who wants this particular song will get it. Of course it will take a little time. I've said my peace, if you don't like it that's fine, if you do, that's fine too and if you don't care well then... I don't know.

Matt

[bjk3047]

Which does bring several questions:
If you so conveniently get a copy of the song because of your nifty girlfriend, why 1) lecture us on 'greed' 2) get irate about e-mail *not even sent to you* 3) let everyone know that you were recieving it and 4) make it quite clear that you were not going to share it? Where's the motivation to even post on this thread?
-Brian
P.S. I have the full version of LB's Big Yellow Taxi and I'm not letting anyone have it :-P :rolleyes:

*Looks below* Somone apparently does not understand sarcasm...

[Street_Dreamer]

Irony! Don'tcha just love it? :)

Matt

[jwys_soapbox]

I was one of the first to reply in this thread. I did ask whoever won the bid to make the song available, but my question at the time was a general one about an item that hadn't been sold yet. Even so, I hope I did not contribute to what I've been seeing as a pretty ugly thread. IMO, SoulDrifter is deserving of an apology for even HAVING to justify herself. If my bringing up the possibility helped create this situtaion, I apologize, SoulDrifter.

Anyway, let's move onto new subjects and KEEP PEACE. By the way, I just found out that the song is available at SaraRhiannon's site:

Thanks mate!

:wavey: dloading now for a listen. Woohoo! Another nail in the coffin of any surprise element I might have experienced when buying the new album lol!!

[DownOnRodeo]

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

Plus it makes me realise how amazing the updated GOS songs will shape up!!

This is Lindsey treading new musical territory!

[tuigirl]

Joe.... your'e right this IS a good song! When I first read the lyrics I thought "ewww... yuk, whats he doing" but now having heard HOW he sings it, it takes on quite a different meaning.Very cool and very Linds like.

Matt: If, as you said, you intended to deliberately provoke negative responses then you shouldn't be surprised that you got the intended result. ;)

Were you asked by Jessica to intervene on her behalf?

A good idea would have been to let her speak for herself on the message board (if emails were becoming a problem). I've always considered Jessica to be generous and reasonable and once she explained her position, it was totally understandable. I'm not sure your input was particularly helpful.

Thanks to Sara, everybody has the song and I'm considering the argument closed.

Barbara

[madformac]

I have to say that I can completely understand why Jessica would not agree to "give out" this song.

If I am correct it is a perfectly reasonable position for her to take. I'm not going to post why I believe this, if you think about it for a minute or two you would also understand why she chose not to give in to demand.

Anybody that can't figure it out, email me about it or drop it.

Everyone now has access to the song, a very good song. End of story.

BTW, thank you Sararhiannon.



:wavey: :wavey:

[seeknpeace]

First off, Hey Dave...I support and feel you on this...Thanks for your post...you have the right to do that..

And, to Sara....you are the best, greatest fan and friend ever...thank you for your unselfishness in sharing Peacekeeper. I bid on the auction as well, and if I had won, it would have been shared. I am about the sharing...

Thank you both...see you both over there....

I then decided to post because everyone had began to attack Matt over information I didn't let him post... and now it's all a confusing mass of nonsense :rolleyes: :shocked: :confused:

:laugh:

Hi Jessica -
This was most likely a case of "let's shoot the messenger".

It's really good to see you here again, you shouldn't be a stranger - six months is waaaaaay too long to be away. :wavey:
