Maybe I'm alone in this, but it sometimes it seems to me that John is so un-narcissitic onstage that it's almost as if he doesn't even want to be there.

I know you didn't mean it negatively, but I can't help but comment. Why do the rest of FM get nice things said about their personalities as in Christine is the cool mom of the group, Mick is the funny dad, John is the quiet brother, and Stevie is the gypsy sister....but Lindsey is the narcissicist, show-off a$$? I'm not picking on ya, newbie, this type of thing comes from lots of fans. It just irks, is all, and I wanted to say something.

From what I've seen and heard of Lindsey, he's one of the most humble musicians around. I believe he craves respect from the music industry, and that's something he's not gotten, sans some awesome album reviews.

I wish I could tell him how terrific he is face to face. Someday....

I think he wants to be there...but I'm not sure he cares for the 'theatrics' of the performance. To me, LB is very different from the other 4 in one odd way-- whereas Mick and Stevie are pretty much always 'extroverted'-- onstage and off-, John and Chris are/were more 'introverted' both onstage and off-- however, Lindsey seems to be an enigma in that he's introverted offstage and extroverted onstage. Does this make any sense?? I don't know how else to explain it. That's just the impression I always got of him.

Hey read my entire post, I'm not saying at all that he's narcisstic

I said: "he's not Yngwie Malmsteen, HE is narcisstic" etc.

I know you weren't, it just irks me when people bring up his ego and don't use positive remarks, but do for the others.

I'm just being pi$$y today. LOL

Ok you're forgiven

but you're right, and besides: all great bands are made out of personalities I think.

I think he's a bit like Joe Perry... introverted off, extroverted on...

Let the music do the talking...

Any thoughts?

P.S. please be gentle. I'm new at this and I don't want you to be offended by the question.

I think genius can come off as narcissistic show-off in any field. If you are the best, you have eaten, slept, and breathed it. Therefore, it is SOOO much a part of you that it just oozes out of you when you perform or even when you talk about it. It is passion, not narcissism. I wouldn't want to see someone who didn't have passion for what he/she is doing. All I can say is, thank God for Lindsey's passion for guitar!!!!!

Lindsey....the guitar genius (self explanatory)

Lindsey....the proud producer (proud in a good way, like he's proud of his work)

Lindsey....the magic man (in that he works magic with music)

I have noticed that people pick Lindsey apart much more than any of the other band members. I love everything he does. I don't quite understand how people see negative things in Lindsey. But I guess he is the easiest one to pick on because he is so different than most rock musicians, and he kinda does his own thing.
