He's referring to the band in terms of guitar, bass, & drums, as opposed to guitar, keyboards, bass & drums.
Stevie's done the same thing in articles from 2001 and 2002, where she refers to them now as a "power trio," because the fellas are the playing musicians.

I have to say, I'm glad they chose "Thrown Down" instead of "Not Make Believe" to keep.

Now that we know for certain that it was recorded, I'm pretty disappointed that "Not Make Believe" was omitted, because I felt the demo had a lot of potential.

We might still hear these "leftovers" though.

I suspect he's speaking instrumentally, so he's talking about the three boys minus Christine. As I recall, even Stevie referred to the band as moving to a "power trio" during some of her TISL interviews.

BTW, that's exactly the picture that came to mind for me too when Brian described it.

Woops posted at the same time as you Johnny! ;-)

Thanks very much for posting the interview Brian! It's much appreciated!

The moment I saw your post this afternoon I went out to see if I could find the magazine but Tower Records still had the February issue. I'll undoubtedly be checking every day!

Regarding the songs that Lindsey mentioned that we seem to know aren't going to be on the FM "single" CD, I feel comfortable saying that after the album comes out and a little times passes someone will leak the SYW sessions with versions of these unreleased tunes. It seems to happen to this band, undoubtedly it will comtinue.

DownOnRodeo · #20 02-15-2003, 11:48 PM

Either that or a FOLLOW-UP ALBUM, depending on the sucess of SYW!!!!

estranged4life · #21 02-15-2003, 11:58 PM

may see a solo album mainly because of the statement Lindsey said in the interview:

"At that time, there was a big push to do The Dance tour, so I put all my new stuff on the shelf throughout 1996. After the tour, I went back in and finished what was going to be my next solo album. This was about the time that Warner Brothers was preparing to change a lot of staff, though, and I was a little worried that my record would get buried. I felt strongly that it was the best solo thing I had done, so I thought, "Well, I'll just wait."......I wasn't sure that I was going to use my stuff for a Fleetwood Mac album, but we just decided to start cutting some of Stevie's songs while I waited for for the new regime at Warner to come in."

Maybe he is waiting now for the FM thing to run it's course since he had to wait for Warner's regime change...Or he may (Would be cool though...) release an album right at the end of the FM tour...Brian J.

Thats the "odd pose" picture by Joe Sia...Thanks Nancy, Brian J.

sodascouts · #23 02-16-2003, 12:25 AM

Looks to me like he's about to do some kind of exaggerated- stage-thrust.

estranged4life · #24 02-16-2003, 12:32 AM

in the magazine is either 1 frame before or after the one you posted earlier Nancy (Linds has his mouth closed and ya cant really see Stevie's mouth at the mic), But I think everyone gets the picture...lol...Brian J.

Fingers crossed. Either that or a follow up FM album (which frankly I would prefer for the exposure it will give him and the free creative reign he has anyway). I'm sure I'm not the only one that can't see Down On Rodeo being released as a B-side to SYW, or even worse, illegitimately leaked after the fact to no fanfare. I have a sparkle of hope that Lindsey has shelved this for a future solo effort, because it is 'too good' to throw away.

Brian - you are so good to type up ALL of this stuff!!!

Can't wait to read the Red Rover remarks!!!

estranged4life · #26 02-16-2003, 01:30 AM

Red Rover-"The speed and aggressiveness in my fingerpicking is a big part of what I have to offer these days. Here, the very percussive, fingerpicked part was doubled, and then I slowed down the tape machine and bounced the double to another track. This allowed me to control the doubled part with a fader, and I moved the fader back and forth in time with the music. It almost sounds like some of that gating stuff they did in the 80's-that on-off kind of thing-except this method is more organic. My idea was to create some negative space to take the place of the drums, and I had to slow the tape machine way down to get the rhythmic manipulations as precise as possible. It's all about being in the pocket."

Murrow Turning Over In His Grave-"The very strange-sounding distortion part is based around a cluster of atonal vocals. You get five, six, or seven different tones together that are out of tune with each other, and it just becomes this arrgh kind of sound. I think there might be some slide in there, too. This song has elements of something quite traditional and recognizable in an almost generic sort of way, yet it departs from that at the chorus when you're suddenly into this weird Brian Wilson/Yardbirds acid thing. I would never want to do something that was generic all the way through."

He ain't kiddin'!! LOL That is my fave song of the GOS demos!! That song has touched me in the way that ISA has...not on the same level, but at a different level....hard to explain. The lyrics apply to my life (or what I have seen of lyric interpretation! LOL) and his emotive singing is breathtaking. That will undoubtedly still be my fave song on the new album....unless it's been changed ridiculously dramatically!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

DownOnRodeo · #29 02-16-2003, 07:23 AM

Sure, I'll let you know the moment it's available. It's quite a trek for you though isn't it?? The only one that has it is the Piccadillly Circus branch, which is about a 5 mins bus journey from my place, so if you want I'll just get you one aswell and post it up to you.
