| Fleetwood Mac Mac,Like 'em or not, the LOWEST sales number commonly cited for global ABBA sales is 150 million units worldwide. That figure is generally used to debunk the 300 plus million plus that's often thrown around, so the real figure is almost certainly ... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Again (and at the risk of beating that horse one more time),The studio work was pure Buckingham. He was well known (maybe notorious is a better word) for his obssessive (hour burning) behavior. Both "Out of the Cradle" and "Under The Skin" are REA... | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Drew,There are now class D amps. Let's say 2 or 3 subs times 1kw per sub amp. You never run out of headroom.Marty | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? One issue is philosophical. There is a retro/zen subgroup of 'philes that swear by "simplest signal path" and simplest circuitry (often retro tech). Subs don't fit this POV and high tech subs with DRC run 180 degrees contrary. I suspect that this ... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Buff"Say You Will"andBuckingham's "Gift of Screws"are pretty sure to please youThey both bark up the tree you seem to preferMarty | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Orph,Your preferences are particular and probably well served by the time period you identify.My preferences run more to the two decades prior, where purely beautiful sax playing was more often the main point and rythmic complexity was still (most... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Don't know about Abba and Deep Purple but I just remembered that Dave Mason had the proverbial "cup of coffee" with Fleetwood Mac in 1993 or so. One more guitar notch on the band's bedpost.Also, the band does have some interesting (and unexpected)... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rrog,I don't know about a sin, and I actually like Abba for what they are, but I was thinking something similar. If you listen past the hits, a fair bit of (Buckingham's solo and) Fleetwood Mac music sounds much, much closer to Led Zep than to Abb... | |
| Album Sides Side 2 of Abbey Road just leaps to mind here.Todd Rundgren always had the quirky side and the straight side.The first side of "A Wizard, A True Star" and the fourth live jam side of "Something/Anything" come to mind."Radio Ethiopia" from Patti Smi... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Okay,...Abba.Long dormant (and possibly substance addled) brain cells seem to recall a(n early '80s?) double Abba Live album with an extended guitar solo during "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight". Might have been pretty rockin'. Anyone el... | |
| Fleetwood Mac RW,I knew someone would ID the final guitars and you're absolutely right about Vito - he can play.As to Buckingham's "primative" admission; he wasn't using it to describe his playing abilities. For reasons of his own, LB has deliberately decided n... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Duane,I was indeed thinking of the Kevin Ayers/Nico version of "Baby's On Fire". Thanks.Marty | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Great to see the votes for Wes Montgomery (yeah, Playpen, anyone ever use his thumb like Wes?). Funny, though, I'd have bet that "4 on 6" would be the first solo mentioned. My favorite - and I suspect Jimi's favorite, too.Marty | |
| Fleetwood Mac Okay, we've had the shout out for Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Lindsey Buckingham, and now Bob Welch.So, to finish the cycle, I'll mention that Jeremy Spencer just released his first album, "Precious Little", in over 25 years. Amazingly enough, it's... | |
| Fleetwood Mac One more note:Buckingham's "Live at Bass Performance Hall" is an outright spectaculat CD/DVD set and Fleetwood Mac's "Live in Boston" (also CD/DVD) is just a notch behind it.Marty |
