Lindsey is pretty well-thought of amongst musicians and guitar players.
I don't think he's the first player that comes to mind when mainstream radio stations and rags like Rolling Stone put together "best of" lists.
Despite Fleetwood Mac's commercial success and popularity, they remain critics darlings and aren't big Top 10 listmakers. In my opinion, this is a good thing and we have Tusk and Lindsey to thank for this. That album and Lindsey's playing since then have forever cemented this band as artists as opposed to Top 40 sell-outs.

Just see big love & go insane on the dance, and another favorite of mine is the outro of gypsy

[QUOTE=shackin'up]crap. i still think Angus Young is one of the best ever. All Vai-lovers, Clapton-addicts, Hendrix-wannabe's, or Knopfler-humpers despite. It's about direct feel. And that's personal.

Damn' right you are!

Lindsey does that for me, BB king every once in a while and hendrix was great as a raw player, but his compositions did not do it for me. And then you can play the stones out of the footpath, it'll do ziltch. Clapton? I'll turn him in for Baker or bruce in an instant. That Rythmsection was better then their leadguitarist.

This just proves my previous comment.

First amendment. I criticize as I see fit.

And, who are you to tell me what to do?

As much as I can disagree with Chili (in good fun of course)...he's "more right" on this one.

I totally agree Gerald. I love AC/DC too by the way.
You should totally join in the debate in chit chat about Lindsey not having the same range he used to. It's the Ageing Rockers thread.

Hey, I'm just glad to read the discussion my post generated. I realize I'm not a technical exert by any means, but I've definitely learned a few things reading what people have to say.

Like I said David, among fellow guitarists he's pretty well known. A lot of guitar players and people I've come across just dont care for Fleetwood Mac, so his talent gets lots in that shuffle. But you go into a guitar shop and most guys that are over 18 know who he is, and can appreciate his style. And if they dont know who is he, you can recommend they check out his Big Love performance on The Dance and they are converted instantly.

Well ChiliD you are a miusician for 35 years. I'm not. I was responding to the assumption that if someone who does not like Clapton doesnot know **** about guitarists, you just don't make a strong point. I'm a critical musicconsumer for thirty years, so I know a LOT about which guitarists make me fall asleep and which ones make me horny. Buckingham, Green, Hendrix, Angus, Neil Young, Chris Goss, Zappa and a lot more rough-style guitarists are viagra for me, and Vai, Knopfler, Clapton, Santana, Satriani (barf) make me wanna lose my manhood, although they are ALL tecnically much better. And maybe I don't KNOW anything about guitarists, for me guitar is not what is going through my concience. It goes though my guts.

And please, react on WHAT I say, not only judge out of snobism. On the other hand: if you want to a snob about this: go ahead. I won't tell you what to do.

just a quick interjection here..
iam a long time reader of these boards and all fleetwood mac boards, let me just say... chillid Knows his ****. full stop end of sentance. so dont question that, just my point if view.
clapton is incredible his songwriting skills are in credible not to mention his playing, green was incredible, hendrix out of this world.. and if you cant get a semi lob on from knofler then see a doctor have u hear lady writer, his playing is exciting, and unique, im not trying to offend any one here but the mentality of most of you has to be question, so i ask this if clapton played for the mac like he was close to, would your appreciaton of him change, have a listen to the challange on christines album... some very very very clever riffs.

so thats my spill

Absolutely. It's not bad to have an own opinion or to like other guitarists as well.
