All these "prepared Speeches"

Madness Fades · #1 05-20-2006, 07:54 AM

Why does lindsey always say the same stuff over and over again. For example the way he introduces Peacekeeper, Say Goodbye and Bleed To Love Her.
Now when im trying to think of examples I cant. But you all know what I mean, everything is rehearsed and prepared and we hear it again and again in intreviews and concerts.
Its almost as if we already know how he is going to answer the next question he is asked.

Whats that all about anyway.
Is there so much politics within Fleetwood Mac ("Industry", "Firm", "Company", "Group") that everyone is so afraid to say something incase the rest of the band members sue or something.

So true. When I went to see them in Calgary, I had already heard the bootlegs from the tour and seen LIB, so I knew exactly what he was going to say. I think I said it along with him, which probably annoyed the people around me.

I'm not sure why he does is. I mean, I guess when you think about it, how many different things can you say about Peacekeeper or any particular song. Also, in the heat of being on stage, maybe he likes to have something prepared so he's not going "um...so...yeah" and he can focus on the music.

It's important to note that the whole band is guilty of the prepared speech thing. Obviously the "dedicatee" varies at each show for Landslide, but the "thank you for conitnuing to support this band" bit didn't. And Stevie's BC speech was basically the same thing every night. Chris was guilty of this during the Tusk tour, introducing Over & Over as "another song from the Tusk album...This is the first track on side one..."

I think the members of the band aren't big on talking to the audience. I was reading the other day about Christine's fear of it in the Cameron Crowe RS article. They'd probably rather get on with the music, but they have to engage the audience through these speeches.

I'd imagine that Fleetwood Mac aren't the only ones who do this.

I find that Lindsey seems really nervous about speaking [and that's soooo cute

] and so, yeah, likes to have something prepared for that reason.

I don't think it's any big deal really, but I can understand why people don't like it.

They're certainly not the only band who tell the same stories about various songs night after night, but the level to which their "speeches" seem to be scripted is certainly unusual. Lindsey doesn't just talk about roughly the same things at every concert, he uses almost exactly the same words.

Yes, he is soooo cute! I especially love it when he whispers "I want you bad baby" in my ear every hour on the hour!
He is beyond cute!!! He is HOTSTUFF!

For Lindsey, I will always comeback for more!

What? My Lindsey play-by-play is too much for my dear Sahara?

Sahara, say it isn't so!

She's been a glitch in the plan for quite some time now .... Nothing we can't handle though.

And yeah, he's nervous. And it's incredibly cute.

Sorry, ladies, but I gave Lindsey the snapshot presentation of your varying looks over the years and he is not interested. Even blindfolded as suggested, he is just not interested. Goodnews! Clay Aiken is HOT for you both!

EDIT: I am kidding.
