Yes, Stevie has her own way of dancing - I like it. it reminds me of the screen goddesses of the 20's doing their best vamp dances a la Theda Bara (actually the teens there).

A wooden legged midget with concrete blocks attached to the bases could dance better. She just perpetuates the stereotype that white folk can't dance!

FTR, I'm not trying to fight with anyone, I just see a double standard here. EVERYONE should go crazy.

But then again, some people were appalled at Lindsey's guitar antics this tour...while many (like myself of course. Hehe) REVELED in it.

Weird.

I don't begrudge anyone their ability to GO CRAZY - it is just a little bit too crazy, that's all. I would like it if it didn't go on for so long, I think. And I agree with you, Strand, that there doesn't seem to be much that is "musical" about his antics during this song.

I guess I would put this in the same category of Stevie during her Red Rocks video - when she is growling and clearly high on coke.

Now that I think about it, I probably have this viewpoint because he just seems so out of control, and I guess to me, it seems like the music is suffering. I have a hard time watching the Red Rocks video, too, just because it kinda makes me sad that Stevie was so coked out and such a mess during that time.

uhhu

When I found out that Stevie had (probably...do we know for sure?) an abortion I was a little taken back, because I too think it's wrong. (please let's not get into a big discussion about abortion) But it was such a long time ago and I think it's something she regrets judging from the song(s?....I think Sara could be a little bit about it...it's almost like a lullabye) she wrote about it.

But I can separate the tallent and the great people that Stevie and the band are. They've all done things that are "wrong" to one person or another right? It's not our place to judge.

Anyways...when I first downloaded Goodbye Baby I didn't like it. It felt like something was off with the timing. But now I love it and it makes me so sad...but Say Goodbye is better

Yup. When my mom recently got mad at me for not telling her Rumours was such a coke invested album, I told her that in most cases you can't like musicans for the things they do; that's why they're called musicans, not role models for every person who hears their music. If everyone who was anti-drug boycotted everyone who did/does drugs, there would be no rockn'roll today as we know it... then when that moral backfired, I blackmailed her with her David Alan Coe fandom.

WORD.

Remember...she loves performing Angel because It makes her feel like an old time dance hall girl...THAT is Stevie's total vibe. She high kicks her ASS off and it rocks. Lindsey? Likes to hump his guitar and run across the stage. That's his whole schtick. It's a hell of a lot better than seeing two people on stage just standing there, IMO. So, keep kicking and um..humping. WOOT.

And as far as the whole, "she studied ballet, why can't she dance?" Well, I can't think of any song on this tour that would require her to take a flying leap across the stage. Ballet= a hell of a lot different than tap & jazz.

Apparently you haven't mastered it. g-r-a-m-m-A-r.

Here's my list:

Lindsey:
What Makes You Think You're the One
Not That Funny
It Was I
Empire State
Save Me A Place
Red Rover

Stevie:
(the chimpanzee song from "Street Angel"...the rest of the album really isn't that bad in my eyes)
When I See You Again
The Second Time

Christine:
Only Over You
Wish You Were Here
(no "Time" songs here either...I think they happen to be quite good)

PS Sorry Homer...didn't mean to be catty

Stevie used to get a lot of flack for her "onstage antics" too, unfortunately.
Nowadays, she gets flack for not doing it!

No matter what Stevie & Lindsey do, they'll never be able to please everyone, but thankfully they sure do please a lot of us!

snwriter · #58 01-21-2004, 04:17 PM

I LOVE Stevie and I like LB very very much, but I have to heartily second the motion that the live Not That Funny video performance are EMBARASSING, especially to non-FM fans. And LB going crazy is different from SN going crazy, especially during her heyday. Her movements were fluid and graceful and even her crazy speaking-in-tongues singing was riveting. I think LB is pretty riveting in concert these days, but the screaming in "Not That Funny" was just plain awful, and the song to begin with is not one of his best, as he seemed to think it was.

My bottomdwellers:

Bob Welch:

The City

Christine McVie:

One More Night
Sooner or Later
Heart of Stone

Lindsey Buckingham:

Not That Funny
Save Me a Place
Family Man
Empire State

Stevie Nicks:

Thousand Days
Love is Like a River
title track of Street Angel
I like all of her FM tracks, although vocals on When I See You Again could be better.

Yes, I like "Second Time," I don't get the big turn-off, same with "Silver Girl," I think it's a fine, mellow song.

EricBliss12345 · #59 01-23-2004, 08:35 AM

Yeah! I love "worst of" threads!

Bob
"Bright Fire" (Zzzzzzzz.....)
"Revelation" (Zzzzzzzzzz....)

Danny
"Sands Of Time" (Zzzzz.......)
"Woman Of A Thousand Years" (major Zzzzzzzzzzz.....)

Christine
"Oh Daddy" (Zzzzzzzzz....)
"The Way I Feel" (Zzzzzzzzzz...)
"Honey Hi" (annoying)
And HEY! I LIKE "Warm Ways!"

I'm stopping with the zzzz's, most of the songs I pick I pick because they're boring.

Lindsey

"Book Of Love"
"Eyes Of The World"
"Oh Diane" (BLEEEECH!!!!)
"Not That Funny"
"I Know I'm Not Wrong" (he should have noticed that he already wrote "Not That Funny" one time already on Tusk)
"Not That Funny"
"Walk A Thin Line"
"What's The World Coming To"
"Come"
"Bleed To Love Her"

Stevie
"Gold Dust Woman" (great lyrics but the music goes nowhere)
"Beautiful Child"
"Seven Wonders"
studio "Rhiannon"
"Welcome To The Room Sara"
Every song of hers on Say You Will besides the title track
I didn't include "When I See You Again" because I actually get a kick out of that one.

markolas · #60 01-23-2004, 07:58 PM

"Sentimental Lady" is absolutely dreadful. Even with Christine's background vocals on it. There's so much sap in that one, it ruined my speakers.

The studio version of "Rhiannon" never did much for me, but I don't hate it. I love, love, love the live versions...especially the more recent ones (from The Dance and the SYW tour).

From Christine, I've never liked "Love in Store." I didn't particularly care for "Sugar Daddy" either, but I'm re-thinking that one

I honestly can't say that I dislike anything that I've heard by Lindsey, with the possible exception of "Oh Diane." Everything of his on Tusk, TITN, and SYW is brilliant, IMO.
