barnes & noble exclusive track
 

so yeah, i called my local b&n so they'd at least have one copy in the store (for me).. and i was informed they'd be receiving 2 versions... regular, then barnes & noble exclusive. also, my tickets for the nashville show have "cd available at barnes & noble" printed on them.

on the b&n website, this info is available:

5 It Was You
6 Try For The Sun
7 Cast Away Dreams
8 Shut Us Down
9 Down On Rodeo
10 Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind
11 Juniper
12 Say Goodbye / Stevie Nicks B&N Exclusive Track

(link here.)

so uh.. what's the deal with this say goodbye? think it's a live one? syw one? or just some sort of corporate trash - simply throwing stevie's name on it because oh my god lindsey couldn't possibly do something on his own? :mad:

if anybody knows, i'd like to know.. because i don't want a copy of the exclusive version if it isn't so exclusive. i'm not trying to hate, but none of my other lindsey cds have the stevie nicks stamp on them and that's just fine by me.

None of our Stevie CDs had Lindsey playing on 'em until 'Trouble In Shangri-La,' and I don't remember anyone crabbing about it.
Just sayin.' ;)

I'm bummed that she's not on "I Am Waiting"... her backing vocals sounded beautiful, and now we'll never get to hear that version in full. That's a damn shame.

Yeah, who says he's being forced? Maybe he wanted it on there? :shrug: I think it was established somewhere else it was the Soundstage version...you have to admit that's a pretty damn great version.

That's just an added bonus for me :blob2:

I rather have Lindsey alone in this CD, but then again, nobody is forcing me or any bodyelse to buy from Barnes and Noble. It's a curious move, I think, but then, Lindsey has done the Sounstage show with Stevie too. So in a way, it's expected almost.

I like the I Am Waiting song from the DVD very much but I hoping it is studio version in the Skin cd.

i'm going to go ahead and guess it's the same **** we've heard before.

thanks for actually answering the question, marissa. i appreciate that. i was thinking the same because i've not seen any buzz in the stevie news about it.

and johnny stew.. i can't speak for that, because i'm not much of a stevie solo collector. i am going to kind of agree with you on the i am waiting point, though. i'd rather hear her make an appearance on his cd in the form of a new track. he's talking an awful lot about distilling his new stuff to a certain essence and making a complete work.. i don't see how throwing a recycled FM song (despite the fact that it was intended on being his own only) keeps with that idea.

Come on, the whole musical concept he talks about fits perfectly on Say Goodbye, esp live. This album is NOT provided with that track, only on the B&N version. Don't buy the thing and do it with the original 11-track.

i don't either, other than the label wanting to make a few extra dollars by using her name -- which i believe, especially if barnes and noble is a corporate sponsor (which seems as such considering their name is printed on the back of your tickets). people don't buy a stevie nicks solo album to hear lindsey buckingham (other than us nerds, maybe). however, if this were some new song with the two of them, you know her fans would buy it just for that one song -- even if they didn't really care for lindsey as a solo artist. jmo.

johnny stew, if it were her version of i am waiting, i'd be stoked and would definitely purchase from barnes and noble to hear that. from what we've heard, i agree, it's beautiful.

i really don't think what sarah said constitutes as "bitching." she just started a thread to let people know about the "bonus track" and question whether or not it was new, live, or the same version we've heard since the release of say you will. perhaps you should stop being so goddamn salty and embrace healthy conversation.

I'll "be" who I am.

The label might have wanted to "use" Stevie's name but Stevie had to ok it, right? She doesn't seem to have a problem being on the B and N version. Say Goodbye fits in nicely with the other songs we have, IMHO, especially next to Castaway Dreams. (I don't mean musically.)

I agree with those who would have loved to have the DR version of I am Waiting......her vocals sounded stunning in the short clip we have. It definately enhanced the song, for me.

If people have complaints about what people are discussing and are going strike to the thread starter about bitching and just add NEGATIVITY to the discussion, why do you even bother posting in this thread? Can we please stay on the discussion of the exclusive track and not bitching. Sarah's not bitching btw.

On topic:
I hope I Am Waiting with Stevie is the bonus track. Now Stevie can have Mick and Lindsey at her next FRIENDS show:laugh:

Aren't ya glad you gave it another chance?:rolleyes:

:D

Well everybody prefering stevies vocals on I am Waiting from that short DR-clip is a bit weird to me. I love that segment too, but how can one prefer something over something else that not exist yet? None of us have heard a studioversion of that track yet. We didn't even hear a finished studioversionclip of the FM-version.:shrug:

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

:shocked: :shrug: ;)

What does that say that Gerald & I agree? :eek:

Let's fight. Very negative.

I would been happy without Stevie at all in a Lindsey solowork, but as I said earlier, people who don't like the idea of Stevie in the CD, can just not get the Barnes and Noble version. I think it would have been better, though, to have a track that is new to all -- Stevie or no Stevie. FM is always recycling, and now Lindsey is doing it too. He was going to do it on Gift of Screws with Go Insane too, wasn't he?

are you referring to my negativity comment?

...as a joke, yes....

smart ass...

I think we've done more than enough of THAT around here...Lindsey's got a new album (maybe two) coming out; I'm focusing on it (them). :laugh:

Yes. Yes, he is. As am I. ;) :D

No I am not. You are.

This is getting negative:laugh:

bbbbbaby you ain't seseseseen nnnnothin' yet.

Well, if you're not a SMARTass, then you must be a DUMBass. But, I'm not going to be the one to point that out to the world. :D

well, you just did. Fasten your seatbelts.

Did I say that out loud? :shrug: :o

And make sure your tray & seat back is in the full, locked, upright position. :blob2:



But, I just realized there ARE more options. :shrug: :nod:

Smart...

Dumb...

Wise...

Crazy...

I like Crazy Ass. I'll settle for that one Smart Ass.






unlock the belts and relax. Play Shut Us Down.

Ya know, since J-Stew made the Harrison tune comparison, I just can't listen to it right now. :shrug: I have to somehow forget he did that.

I'll listen to "Big Yellow Taxi" & "Show Us How" instead. :thumbsup:

That comparison doesnot cut any wood! It's bull! Why take the Stew more serious than me when it comes to Lindsey? The guy basicly likes his safe stuff and you know it.

My response via PM. :thumbsup:

Now that's not at all true. There are two songs in Lindsey's entire career that I don't care for -- "Save Me A Place" and "Shut Us Down" (I didn't count "Say Goodbye," because I love it live).

I don't think that at all qualifies me as someone who only likes Lindsey's "safe stuff." :p

And I stand by my comment that the fast, fussy strumming on "Shut Us Down" sounds like the fast, fussy strumming in "Here Comes The Sun." :nod:

I thought the entire point of this thread was to bitch? No? Bitching is good, it helps control the frustrations. :shrug:

There is some strumming on Shut Us Down -- it's a secondary track -- but none whatsoever on the Lindseys' version of George Harrison tune.

I guess strumming isn't the right word then.
So somebody tell me what on Earth to call that rapid-fire plinka-plinka-plinka-plinka-plinka-plinka/plunka-plunka-plunka-plunka-plunka-plunka thing he does where he plays the same note six or seven times before moving onto the next note, which he also hits six or seven times.

In some songs it works brilliantly, but sometimes it doesn't compliment the vocal melody at all and ends up sounding like the musical equivalent of rubbing your tummy and patting your head.

What are the more experimental songs of Lindsey's that you like then Brian?

I still find it crazy that people find Shut Us Down one of Lindsey's more extreme songs. It's the kind of thing I've prayed Lindsey would do for years: stripped down, intimate, less polished with real emotion. I really think he shouldn't be afraid to alienate a few people, you know, take the Neil Young route. You lose a few fans, but you may also pick up a few on the journey. It's better than playing it safe. It's not like his solo albums have ever sold in big numbers anyway, he can afford to take the risk. I think so, but Gerald may be the only one with me on that point.

Since I only dislike two of his songs, the answer to that question would be... all of them.
Name it and I like it.

I don't find "Shut Us Down" to be extreme or experimental. As I've said, my problem with it is that it sounds fussy to my ears. For something that should be intimate, the instrumentation and vocal melody are going in two completely different directions. I don't feel like I'm being drawn in, I feel like I'm being pushed away... thus, any real warmth or intimacy is lost.
