Eh, that was just a load of sexist garbage.
He doesn't get into Stevie, no biggie... but to say that her songs/performances appeal only to the women of the audience, and Lindsey's appeal only to the men, is a bunch of horse manure.
All one has to do is look around these boards to see that just isn't so!
But I guess we should have known this guy was off his beam when he said the Dixie Chicks' and Smashing Pumpkins' versions of "Landslide" overshadow Stevie's own.
At any rate, perhaps Stevie just had an off night... I'll wait to see what other critics, and more importantly,
fans, had to say about that. But so far, from all the live bootlegs I'm hearing, Stevie is in excellent voice, and is most definitely not throwing off the harmonies.
These critics should be required to add a disclaimer to their reviews....
"Warning: I am not a Stevie Nicks fan, but I looove Lindsey Buckingham, and will review this band accordingly."
Or, alternatively...
"Warning: I have no appreciation for Lindsey Buckingham's guitar prowess, but I like Stevie Nicks, and I miss Christine McVie, so my review will reflect this."
Ah well, in the long run, a review is just
one person's opinion, so as long as everyone else in the stadium, or at least the majority of them, had a great time, then who cares.
