Lindsey Buckingham
Goes DIY for new solo album
June 20, 2011

In this video filmed by Bullett Magazine, Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham opens up about how he decided to self-release his forthcoming solo album Seeds We Sow, his ambivalence about the massive success of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and how the band's experimental followup Tusk changed the course of his career. "It was a line in the sand for me," Buckingham says. "I've got the Fleetwood Mac scene for the big machine and the ensemble, and that's like making a movie. This [solo album] is like painting, where you're alone and it's a one-on-one with the canvas, and it's a whole other creative world."

I get the FM=Big Movie, Solo Album=Indy

But he's been using that line for like 5 years....we get it.

Wait...is he using this as promo for his UPCOMING album or did somebody dredge this up from his hype for Out Of The Cradle??? The guy just can't come up with anything new to say about his solo music? Damn, I was tired of that hype in '93, much less the same crap 18 years later.

ahhhh the abundance of negativity :rolleyes:

LOVE this.
LOVE Lindsey with his finger pose.

Yeah but he's already converted us. I believe he's talking to people that might not necessarily know his work.

But chili you know Lindsey by now. Why is it getting to you now, after the man has released two consecutive solo albums, toured behind them and even used some of "more of the same" for the FM PR? It's nothing new that he repeats himself, and to me it becomes less annoying and more like a loving family members who has those quirks you're used go seeing/hearing time and time again.

I'm not going to criticize Lindsey's repetitive speeches anymore...he always delivers (and then some) with the quality of his material. I am stoked for this album, my fellow LB-ers...I know I haven't showcased it as passionately as in the past, but I'm probably more excited for this album than I was for Under The Skin- well, at least JUST AS.

Now to go get my tix...

I suppose I still have some of the "chiffon tea" left in my system....and I just can't say nice things about BOTH Lindsey & Stevie in the same month...if I say glowing things about one, I HAVE to nit-pick & bitch about the other. This month, it's Lindsey I get to bitch about. :D

I get it. ;) It's all good.

The video has been password locked already. WTF. They did the same on Vimeo.

yeah, according to info on twitter, bullet magazine locked it. btw, to all naysayers here (i know we've heard big machine/small machine 1000s of times:laugh:), random people on twitter who are not as familiar w/ LB loved the interview.:p

sucks. i missed seeing it! top 10 reasons to buy an iphone... :mad:

thank you!:xoxo:

love the first half. (and the big hair:cool:)

he's looking good and sounding happy.

Love! Thank you!! :xoxo:

thanks MacMan! :blob2:

Thanks MacMan!

Boy, he really likes the word ambivalent, lol. :laugh:

I was just gonna post this! Must be his new favorite word :rolleyes:
Awesome video! He looks and sounds great! Now I'm even more excited for the new album :)

After about a half hour Lindsey arrives at Law and Order "which is what I've been trying to get to." Michele

I wish there was an "applause" smilie on here but as there isn't I'll just give you the :thumbsup: and say well said!

I so wish he'd wear the pin-striped jacket on this upcoming tour!!!!

Hey, Michele - apparently staircases/stairwells are "in" - who knew?! ;) If he had walked upstairs at the end I would have rolled!

Me too! :thumbsup:

Then again, I wish he'd wear anything but that leather jacket which seems to have melted itself on him as a second skin! :lol:

Remember that t-shirt from the last concert where he's walking up the stairs? I didn't like it, because I didn't like the way his jacket hung. He seemed to have a stoop. It wasn't the gait of the energetic man we see on stage -- but it was a staircase -- although not a winding one:laugh:.

Michele

love this comment on the video that somebody tweeted:

@lieueitak
I do not appreciate Lindsey Buckingham looking better in skinny jeans than I do. You're in your 60s, dude. Step off. :P

Haha! I forgot about that! It seemed to be sort of steep. I wondered if it might be the stairs to his studio. How horrible to have to climb those everyday.

I guess the winding staircase was more comfortable to do an interview than any of those fancy schmancy chairs around the house?

bullett interview about DIY and SWS on youtube now
 

Just wanted to bump up this interview because, I believe, it's the most recent video of Lindsey we have.

Thanks for bumping this. Wow, that house is ridiculously over the top. I think it's just so hilarious that the irony of Lindsey talking about being a humble painter vs making a blockbuster production is totally lost on Lindsey while they are showing panoramic shots of his mega mansion. :laugh: God bless him, he's every bit as out of touch as loopy Stevie is! :lol:

That bit where he climbed onto the diving board and then stepped down with his coffee cup was fairly odd.

Michele

Well he is a bit odd - s'what we love about him! :lol:

Two words that work well together are "quirky" and "Lindsey" (along with, of course, "gorgeous" and "Lindsey", "sexy" and "Lindsey")!

I figured that had to do with the people photographing/making the video....'Okay, let's see how a shot looks from atop the diving board'!
