Lindsey's Surprise TV Appearance
 

I just saw Lindsey on some Fashion Awards show. What a trip- initially it was Carrie Underwood doing her version of Go Your Own Way (I was yawning). Mid-way through, she said, "Ladies and Gentlemen...Mr. Lindsey Buckingham!"

He looked and sounded great- they sounded awesome together actually. He kept looking over at her like she was Steves.

Wasn't too big of a surprise performance. ;)

I know- I just realized that- LMAO. Hey, it was to me. :laugh:

:lol::lol::lol:

:laugh:

:xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

OMG - Usher and MJB (tastes good when it should) doing "A Man's World"? Ho****!!!!


Nice. Seriously. That turned out well. It was funky and good. And shizz, MJ doing Respect? Nuh.UH!!!! :woohoo: If anyone can do it, it's that girl. Oh, shizz, she blew the roof off that shizz!!!

Nice. I love MJB. For reals.

You know, while everyone was complaining about Linds's standards, I was thinking: "MJB is there (among others) - how bad could it be??? I mean, there is actual talent there!!! :)" :woohoo: Own't even like that Usher boy, but they kicked it out. For reals. :laugh:

Yo! "Performing a New Spin on an American Classic! - Carrie Underwood!!!"

It is a fricking American Classic, and there was a new spin - the new spin of someone singing good harmonies.

She sang some **** out of that ****. No irony, sarcasm, or anything else involved. She kicked the **** out of it.


And of course Linds did, duh, but I was never in doubt.

Harmonies? Were great. We knew she could sing buHfore, I don't know why everyone was so nervous. :rolleyes:
I don't know how well her solos were on this one, pretty good - but I think she showed some strong skill in "singing kickass with others".

I didn't know she could play the geetarrr, though - did yah see that? Mainly rhythm, but that is still nice. :) I mean, I can't play guitar :shrug:

Whatever, harmonies were awesome, and you know how important that is, ever, and here. Linds was doob, instrumentals were doob, vocals were doob, innovation was the best it could be expected to beh.

I think this endeavour went as best as it possibly could have gone, which was VERY GOOD.

Naw, they kicked it out - MASSIVELY. Anyone who says otherwise is partially, if not mostleh, wrong.

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

And I stand by my triplicate party hat opinion of that! To the deYAth! :woohoo: Party Hats Foyevah! WoYd!


Peace Out. :angel:

It was fun to see him playing GYOW at a faster pace than he usually does live. He even tried to sing it a bit higher. I was hoping for the more screaming guitar part at the end but they went with the recent FM style live ending. He was good and he seemed to enjoy himself. As an aside, I thought I caught him looking over toward where Stevie stands and then realized she wasn't standing there and that it wouldn't be appropriate to sing those lines to Carrie (too personal). That's just my take on it.

He even did the moves. It was very good.

She always does. I don't think I've ever seen a bad performance from her. I'd venture to say that was the performance of the night.

yep lindsey rocked as I knew he would. :]

hey gerald...steven tyler and joe perry with fergie! :mad: sellouts!!! :rolleyes:

some parts of the show suckedass.

funniest...tyra telling carrie "you do a pretty ugly face" and avril's white sneakers.

I would agree. Mary J is the real deal, and although I love Lindsey, I was more impressed last night by MJB totally ripping Respect. It seems like every time Mary J is on a show like this, she blows everyone out of the water with her vocal capabilities. She's off the for-real-o-meter, for real.

Again.. it wasn't a bad performance of GYOW, but I didn't think Lindsey's vocals were very strong in this key... the guitar parts sounded crud ALL night long, so you could barely hear his solos (anyone else notice that? the sound techs must have sucked.. from the very beginning of the aerosmith performance, the lead guitar parts were just totally sucked in). And I'll say, I don't know if it was him, Carrie, the backup people, or a combination of any of the above, but every time they got to the "go your own way" i had to kind of cringe a little, because SOMEONE was off key on the last note of that phrase *every time*. It was driving me freakin' crazy. I'm glad Lindsey was there.. I'm glad he came out on stage all cool and special guest like.. and I'm glad the song is getting awesome recognition "these days".. but the performance could have been better. Whether it was lack of practice or lack of interest, I don't know. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. :laugh:

Ok, as much as I like tyra, I must say....
Carrie preforms with a LIVING LEDGEND [well at least to us :lol: ]
and she asks her about her 'pretty ugly face' and if she practices it...:rolleyes:

The Fergie/Aerosmith thing almost made me puke a little :D

video anyone?

^^^
go over to MacMan's thread. it's there.

I saw that too and thought the same thing. I got a little sad...

Yikes...186mb? I'll wait for the dumbed down YouTube version!

If you listen to the second solo, he just starts to go up to build up the screamingpart and they edited the end in. bummer. I'm sure he played a longer solo.

I noticed that look you mentioned, I thought the same thing!

Yeah i just listened to the MP3...his voice sounded pretty good.

THAT'S what I just said to my parents. Tyra is so stupid. I love her and she's great at what she does... but she's so self-absorbed. Didn't she hear? Stevie and Lindsey INVENTED the pretty ugly face?:nod:

I was pretty ticked about the obvious editing as well....It was building up so much and then there was that snip... I wish they had left it go!

Did you see Carrie's face after Lindsey gave her a kiss on the cheek? She was all like 'oooh Lindsey Buckingham kissed me.":laugh:
I thought that there was some tension between Carrie and Lindsey but in the end they seemed to be OK. Maybe just nerves.

I sensed that also, but honestly, how well do they even know each other, right? I doubt they run into each other at neighborhood bbq's, and they probably rehearsed no more than a couple of hours. In and out.

He got to NYC Monday evening. They had Monday evening, Tuesday and Wednesday to rehearse. Not too much time but maybe time enough to know that Lindsey is a control freak.:shrug:
Lindsey didn't look very happy in the photos from the event either. Maybe he is just not a happy guy.

I was under the impression they rehearsed separately for the most part.

I don't know the whole schedule but what would have been the point for Lindsey to get to NYC so early? I mean besides so K could go shopping.

i was under the same impression.

he's been playing the thing for 30ish years. i don't think he'd sit around and work it out with someone for three days. i sure wouldn't. :laugh:

and if he didn't practice (all this is hypothetical), the point in going would be that they set you up in plush suites and you hit the town and see other celebs you probably haven't seen since you were in NYC last. a lil elbow rubbin'. heh.

Yeah, I mean Lindsey would be so into elbow rubbin.:shrug: I guess if it's not on his funds than why not.;)

EDIT: There was a party on Sept. 5th. Not sure if LB was there but maybe he was invited.

:laugh: I was thinking the same thing.
