(It's early, so forgive me if none of this makes sense..)
Cool! I have a question regarding Lindsey's shirt that's shown in the gatefold of the insert that came with the LP. It's the one where Mick is laying on the ground with a bottle of wine near his feet and everyone is sitting/standing behind him. Lindsey's shirt says "Milt" and I was told it was an inside joke regarding their drug dealer.
Also on the insert, near the top, there's a line of six pictures of Lindsey smoking something. It looks like he's wearing a shower cap!
Whose idea was it for Chris to play a chair in Second Hand News? What kind of chair was it?
Who designed the whispering penguins? Larry Viagon
What were the easiest and hardest songs to record?
Why is Oh Daddy such an awesome song?
Was there a conscious attempt to make You Make Loving Fun sound sort of "disco"? No
When making up his bass parts, did John do it all by himself or did someone else (let's take Lindsey for example) say, "let's play it like this"...? If that makes sense. John did not like anyone telling him what to play, suggestions were ok
Did Lindsey or Stevie do any little 'piano things', or was it all done by Christine? Likewise, did Christine do any stuff on the guitar? Yes and NO
Is it true that Stevie had a cold during the recording Dreams (the take that would eventually make it on to the album. Sounds like she does.)? I don't think so
Why was a pane of glass broken during the recording of Gold Dust Woman? Also, in the last minute or so of GDW, there's an eerie sort of wailing sound. There has been discussion about whether or not it's Stevie wailing or Lindsey messing around on his guitar.
Why does Lindsey whisper "fffff*ck" at the beginning of the Chain?
Because he could! Actually when he was o/d the dobro part, he became tired and cranky and said f**k, (or whatever you said) as in here we go again, i hope i get it this time!
I have about a bazillion photos I could put up here, but I'm not sure what Ken's looking for! I'm looking for pics we've never seen before that will make us all smile
What did the band do for fun?
{During Rumours)They would Play jokes on each other, drink, the usual things people do when standed together.
What other songs were recorded during this time that never made it onto the album, aside from Silver Springs? I always figured The Dealer was from this time..
ETA: There are a few hours of outtakes/behind the scenes footage from the band's stop in Japan in December '77. It has been floating around for a few years, I imagine. Anyway, was this footage supposed to be used for some sort of documentary? It's quite amusing ("interviews" with Christine and Stevie, Lindsey noodling around on the guitar and piano and remarking how "at the end of this year we'll have played 98 shows. 98! I'M SICK OF PLAYING!") and there is an excellent version of Gold Dust Woman. While I don't have any information regarding other people employed by the band, roadies and other helpers are shown in this footage.
