Christine forum
 

This Christine forum should be hopping a lot more regularly. Don't you Chris fans have anything more to talk about? Get going! If I had a whip, I'd use it . . .

I hear she played a Moog of stage for its lighter sound :wavey:

Seriously, let's go through what she played and when. Also, what percussion she played.

Did she ever play a Bosendorfer on stage?

I don't think so. The only two brands I know of she used live are Hamilton & Yamaha. There must have been others, obviously, at least in the early days.

I loved it when she played the accordion on Tusk. :o

I liked when she played that percussion thing during "Second Hand News" on the Rumours tour.

By the way, isn't everyone relieved that we don't ever have to worry about Christine McVie trying to sell something in a grocery store?:laugh:

Yes! :laugh:

Now there's a picture.....:)

--Lis

i like it like that ;)

Well, if you're into that sort of thing....:shocked:

Aw, I could've been listening to that too, since I spotted "Mystery To Me" at the mall, but opted to buy Stevie's "Wild Heart" instead. Next time, though... that was there, along with Bare Trees. As I stood in the store, checking out the FM albums, I was trying to figure out which one had more Christine songs on it, since I only had enough money for one CD. :laugh:

I know! I had Mystery to Me all ready to bring up to the cash register, when I decided to check out their Stevie selection. Usually all they have is Timespace and BellaDonna, so I didn't expect to find anything.

The Wild Heart is kinda... bah.... I'm not wild (ha ha) about it. Except for the title track, Stand Back, Nightbird and Sable on Blonde, the rest of the album didn't really grab me.

Don't worry, I've at least heard the songs. I'm not that bad. :lol:

Yep, just checked my email-- Got Jewel Eyed Judy, thanks! *goes off to listen*

PS: If it makes you feel any better, I would've gotten all THREE of those albums, if I'd had more money on me!

LMAO! Don't worry, I question my sanity daily. ;)

Interesting story. I don't find it boring at all! I can relate, somewhat, in the sense that I've liked people (okay, girls), who don't see me 'in that way'. I'm going through that right now, actually. Luckily, this close friend of mine likes to er, joke around sexually? and tries to seduce me every so often. Among other things. LOL. She says it's all in fun, and I believe her, since she's crazy about men. But she does admit to people like Christine, and Stevie and Cyndi being hot. Which makes me smile.

Get Mystery To Me!

It boggles the mind how anyone could pick any Stevie Nicks solo album over Mystery To Me, which in my opinion is the best thing Fleetwood Mac ever did.:shocked: Seriously, MTM is perfection & it has "Hynotized" & especially, "Why" on it. Get Mystery To Me:)

Did anyone notice that the activity on this board picked up as soon as David threatened to get out the whip.:lol: :lol:

Me too! :laugh:

Oh, thanks for reading it! I post it but then I don't assume someone's actually going to read it. :laugh: I am the queen of liking women who don't see me 'in that way,' so we're definitely in the same boat there. (Well, me more so I'm sure). Your friend sounds like a lot of fun. Even if she's really exclusively straight, at least y'all can joke about it. :thumbsup: And those three ladies? What straight woman wouldn't like them? :nod:

I think MTM is overrated by a bunch of you guys. It's a decent collection of tunes & performances -- about par for Fleetwood Mac. It lacks the visionary excitement of Heroes Are Hard To Find, the roots music realism of Dog & Dustbin, & the miniaturist multifacetedness in tracking of Rumours.

A lot of you are letting your nostalgia run away with you -- or maybe it's more of a nostalgie de la boue.

The truly epic "Keep On Going" is mostly what gives MTM its B-12.

Holy crap, it did ... a little! :lol: :shocked:

You guys with your cute little sadomasochisms!! :lol: The Chris board here could really be the most seriously happening place of all of the forums, if only you guys would take a little action & start conceptualizing. I howl with frustration when I see the stasis here. It oozes like blood plasma from a severed arterial wall.

B-12?

Fleetwood Mac's Mystery To Me! Helping maintain healthy red blood cells since 1973. Buy a copy today! :D :shrug:

Oh, and GateandGarden, I bought copies of MTM and BD within an hour of each other. So I'm not insane, I'm just dysfunctional. :blob1:

:laugh: It took me forever to get MTM. I was just plain crazy in the head for that.

Oh, and call me Hillary. :)

Aren't you including yourself?? "You Chris fans"

Gail

Fine, fine! :P Next time I make a trip to the mall, I'll get it. If they don't have it, I'll... buy... something else!

I'm actually looking for Heroes are Hard to Find, but haven't had any luck. Guess the title speaks for itself. :laugh:

Oh, she's insane!! It's fun times when she's around. Take for example, Friday night, when she sang directly into my ear in her best Marilyn Manson voice (She thinks he's the hottest thing alive. It's one of the few things we disagree on, though I do like his music), and then tackled me. :laugh:

Yeah, I've attempted. Actually, with this sore throat of mine, I could probably do a pretty decent imitation.

She wants to marry him! :eek:

I must admit, I do love me some Chris. She's the only one I can stand in rock music over the long term. Everyone else just annoys me.

U doin ok. Hope all is well :wavey:

I wonder how many pianos she has in her home. La Nicks has those two we saw in that photo spread of her Phoenix house and a keyboard or two. But, I see Chris with several as well. After all, she had them craned into hotel suites :laugh:

She has at least one in her house...the original one that she used to write "Songbird".

I wonder what kind or make it is?

I also see her with an upright and maybe a pipe organ :laugh:

I love her :nod:

Probably a Yamaha, since that's always been her preferred brand.

I wonder is she, like Stevie, has a Bosendorfer and if so, if she ever plays in the extra octave on each side?

We need answers to these questions LOL

Honestly, it was probably an endorsement from Yamaha, that resulted in her preference. Nothing says "love" like a free grand piano.:nod:

I think you're becoming a curmudgeon in your old age, David. MTM is the best album Fleetwood Mac has ever released. That said, it is incomparable to ANY other Fleetwood Mac album due to its strength from track to track...no other Fleetwood Mac album can even come CLOSE to claiming that. There is NO weak link on MTM. Even their cover tune has been revamp to become a Fleetwood Mac song. Can't say that about ANY other cover that Fleetwood Mac has recorded...(well, maybe "Blue Letter")
