Thanks. I've been called a lot of things on this forum but being called Kellyanne Conway beats them all. Kudos ...

And hey I'll correct any foolish, erroneous posts that I see here and I was correcting bombaysaffires who wrote that Neil joining FM is "like Meghan Markle marrying into the royal family".

Of course, it's nothing like that as Neil is already in the same financial stratosphere as the FM members and is worth about twice what Mick Fleetwood is worth.

It's a huge honor for Neil to join such a great band as FM but it's also a huge honor for FM to land an elite, talented, and successful musician as Neil.

I know that losing Lindsey is a big loss and many of you are grieving the loss, but perhaps some of you can step back and realize just how lucky the band is to bring in Neil and Mike.

You must be on the winning side if you're compared to
Kellyanne Conway.

Oh barf. You must like hearing yourself talk.

[BigAl84]

Wait, wait. Sugar Mouse...surely you can enlighten us on these Neil Finn details:

Chobani or Yoplait for breakfast?
Everything bagel or blueberry muffin?
Crest or Colgate?
Peel and stick envelopes or lickable?
Big Mac or Whopper?

Q. How many guitar players does it take to play the solo in gypsy?
A. Apparently a lot because two still couldn't pull it off.

Doh!

2014 Today show performance of Gypsy

Now that was a good performance.
So much for Gypsy being no good live or FM always flailing on TV.

The original recording is a brilliant example of what Lindsey does that cant be replaced. The outro i believe is a varispeed (slowed down) guitar part that he had to learn for a live application. Totally makes the song. No harm in having a layered apporoach and bringing in other musicians to help fill it out.

Campbell will prob learn it eventually for the tour, but its tricky. Ive been playing for 20 years and its a really fun lick to practice

Sorry but the Ellen performance was a joke. That’s just my opinion.

He probably already knows it. It’s not too far removed from the lead at the end of “American Girl.”

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a big honor for Neil to step into the shoes of a musician that was fired. I’m sure he’s so pleased to deal with angry LB fans everyday on social media. The guy probably can’t wait to get out of this mess and go on with his solo career.

How’s the band lucky? You’re lucky when you succeed in front of an unexpected situation. There wasn’t any unexpected here. This has been planned for months. So, no, they weren’t lucky. Not this time.
