I really think the feeling I get from reading Lindsey Buckingham comments, especially lately, is always a sense of him considering her less then he is. I am probably saying this all wrong. Even when he pays a compliment or says something "nice" there always seems to be a sense of but,,,,,,,,
I have to ask this... does anyone else get the feeling with his timing and the "sudden" announcement of the release of Seeds, that perhaps Mr Buckingham was thinking to perhaps over shadow some of Stevie's spotlight?
From what I have read, he does not seem to be accomplishing that very well........
I do have another question... I thought basically LB's contribution to IYD's was when Stevie asked him participate with Soldiers Dream. Lately in interviews, he makes it sound like he had alot more to do with the making of the entire CD...
And since I am on a roll........ Does anyone else listening to her demos, think the original versions were better before rather then after LB got his hands on them and over produced them??
Now I am really in trouble right?

Lindsey has in no way insinuated he was more involved in her CD than his contribution to SA, which he downplayed. Stevie is the one gushing about how he was the "only one" who could make it work to her liking, but he has said he "hung out" at her house more than Stevie initially admitted. Perhaps, Stevie for once was taking his wife into consideration.
But, Stevie inserts her foot in her mouth a lot. I don't think she intends to be mean but she definitely speaks before she thinks. Like her saying Dave "has no ego" is not a direct dig at LB?? Please. And, like DS doesn't have an ego?! Ha! Everyone in that business has an ego. It may manifest differently but it's there.
Lindsey is usually very careful about what he says - as anyone can tell with the way he gives the same exact answer in every interview. The comments about her funding her appearance at the Clinton gig were pretty matter of fact and Stevie herself would probably have said it at some point -- like how she rambled on about how well she was doing financially in the recession and was able to pay her house off. Well, lucky her! No, the only odd thing about Lindsey's comment was the revealing nature -- he is privy to that information, but it's normally not something he would be transparent about.
Of course, their management released his album in the aftermath of hers. Of course, they will market them together, they are in the same band. Of course, Lindsey is not going to sell as many units - he doesn't expect that nor does he have any grandiose ideas about attaining the same heights of visibility as Stevie. I'm not convinced he ever did want that and he certainly doesn't want it in his 60's. And, if FM does tour next year this was the only time for his album to come out. Stevie herself has plugged LB's album several times.
I will never ever understand how anyone can claim to be a Stevie Nicks fan and hate Lindsey Buckingham's production in the same breath. If you love any of her songs from Fleetwood Mac you like his production. Period.
