I didn't say he wasn't difficult. Lindsey even admits to being difficult. He calls himself a troublemaker. He said his child was like him because she is pushy and intense.

What I said was that there's no evidence that he acts the same way as a guest guitarist or vocalist as he does when he is a producer or artist. No reason to think he would bring the same investment and drive to the cameo. I doubt that Christine had any trouble with him when he appeared on her solo album singing and playing guitar. But working with him on a Fleetwood Mac album is a different story -- as was working on his solo album, I would guess.

I don't think artists like Welch, Egan, Zevon and Stewart had trouble with him. I know there was a reference to Stewart saying he was difficult, but all the Stewart comments I have seen make it seem like Lindsey was an easy producer. I think Egan had problems with Lindsey (like Lindsey not wanting him to do SOTM), but I don't think they were as a producer. So, even when he's just a producer of outside people, I don't think he's hard to work with. I think he's hard when it comes to Fleetwood Mac or his solo stuff.

I don't know how you read my comment as saying that Lindsey wasn't difficult on his or on FM's projects.

And I wasn't demanding evidence of a physical attack. A simple comment from, say, Antsy McClain, that it was complicated working with Lindsey when he guested on their album would suffice nicely.
