      I always ask people from that area - what's up with the white pyramid cult people? Do you know who I'm talking about? I'm from Minneapolis and don't see the suburbs too often, but a friend showed me that place a few years ago and I've been curious ever since.

    For people wondering how Neil Finn could fill in for Lyndsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac on tour last year - this is a perfect example why he could do that. Pretty amazing.

    • @alexandra-wq2un
      @alexandra-wq2un Před 4 lety +1

      Hahahaha...that was a good joke. Yes, Neil is a good Musician ... but Lindsey is better and has the Energy. He was the Glue in FM ... I saw them three times during the last Tour and there were no Magic, no fun, no interaction .. nothing.

    • @GER-sm3gh
      @GER-sm3gh Před 4 lety +1

      Once again, it took two guitarists to replace Lindsey and the band still comes up short. I like Neil but he lacks the vitality of Lindsey.

    • @shawnuel
      @shawnuel Před měsícem

      @@GER-sm3gh I disagree regarding the word vitality. I'd agree he isn't as intense on stage as Lindsey. But I'd take Neil as a songwriter any day. And the fact that other guitarists can't fill Lindsey's place in Fleetwood Mac is far more about the fit than ability. Latter day FM was built around LB's songwriting and production abilities. Of course he is going to fit the sound of the band better. Finn and Campbell both fit Split Enz/Crowded House and The Heartbreakers better than Lindsey ever could.

    • @GER-sm3gh
      @GER-sm3gh Před měsícem

      @@shawnuel well, you could say Split Enz & Crowded House were built around Neil and Tim Finn's songwriting abilities so that makes Lindsey's ability to fit in to those bands a moot point. Lindsey's solo work is actually closer in style to the quirky and eccentric style of Split Enz. But he himself admitted that writing lyrics aren't his strong point, and that he's much more interested in music and production values than making statements. As far as Neil's songwriting abilities go, he got more and more inward looking and inscrutable over the years, sometimes using awkward metaphors that fall flat. And somewhere down the line he lost that knack for a great pop hook for which he was so widely attributed.

    • @shawnuel
      @shawnuel Před měsícem

      @@GER-sm3gh Split Enz was formed 6-7 years before Neil joined. They were definitely Tim's baby. But Neil brought a pop sensibility that finally gave them more chart success. I think Neil still writes beautiful songs. Just with less overt hooks. I absolutely LOVE his 2017, Out of Silence record. A later career triumph, IMO.

    1986 was my senior year in high school and their album Crowded House was released after I graduated, just a few days before I went to Parris Island for boot camp. I had to do without music, along with tv, telephones, and any other contact with the outside world for those 3 months of training. But then when I got back home I was wearing that cassette out! It was one of those special albums where every single song was simply fantastic. What a special time in history to be alive and young. I wouldn't pick any other era to be that age if I could do it all over again.

      boomiron I was just thinking about Crowded House’s back catalogue last night, and concluded that “Temple Of Low Men” is my favourite album. I think it’s stayed with me so long because when it came out it was initially such a jarring contrast after their debut album, and I kind of had to let go of my preconceptions of what Crowded House “should” sound like.
