- Al Schmitt, Ken Caillat and Elliot Scheiner introduce Lindsey Buckingham
during the Les Paul Award segment of the 26th annual TEC Awards in Anaheim,
California, January 14th, 2011. - Hudba
Just saw Lindsey solo at the Whiskey Roadhouse Aug 31, 2012. Couldn't have been more of a deserving man than Lindsey.
he's always come across to me as very sensitive and genuine, and omg what a guitarist and how much passion does he perform with
Bf109D agreed
He has a unique sound when he plays, amazing and when he plays you always know it's Lindsey, he sounds like no other!!!❤
It is not only the sound that Lindsey produces it is the way the sound is produced. Lindsey tickles the hell out of his strings and all done without a pick. Whatever awards there are Lindsey should receive at least one in every category. As far as Fleetwood Mac - there is no FM without LB! Think of it, his tremendous guitar playing, his terrific singing, his music production and all the while having to put up with a short, pudgy mono tone singer. It was Lindsey who got Stevie into Fleetwood Mac - it was Stevie who got Lindsey ousted from FM. Congratulations Lindsey for getting the much deserved Les Paul award.
Lindsey deserves so much!!...Largely overshadowed by Stevie which he has at times struggled to accept knowing he is the true force behind Fleetwood Macs success from the late 70's onwards. This man is without doubt one of the greatest guitarist of all time, he is certainly up there with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Peter Green. Where Lindsey leaves the competition behind is in sheer number of songs that are just pure quality and his staying power. Justin Bieber??...Whose He?????
Nailed it
There is and always will be 1 Lindsey !!
NOBODY PLAYS GUITAR LIKE HIM !!
A true master !!
This is what you call a REAL MUSICIAN!!!!!!!!!!
Lindsey Buckingham is the best ever!! He completely deserved this honor!!!!!
FINALLY!!! he is sooooAWESOME & so deserves this!!
It might help to understand the stated purpose of the Les Paul Award:
"It was created in 1991 to honor individuals that have set the highest standards of excellence in the creative application of recording technology."
Note that the word 'guitar' is not mentioned so comparing *playing* skills of recipients misses the point. For example, in 1997 Les himself handed the award to Stevie Wonder.
Les is most famous as a guitarist, but had deep skills and appreciation for the recording process. He pioneered multi-track and other technology that we now take for granted.
Thank you so much for sharing this recording of Lindsey being recognized as the person and presence he is, I believe he is a true artist and am always amazed by how humble he is about his talent and his ability to communicate through the medium of music. I have always been touched by Lindsey's reaction to applause and praise, he touches his own heart, like he has touched the hearts of so many people. And to see others use that expression of sincere gratitude, it is amazing.
Thanks for posting this!! He is more than deserving of this award and it's way overdue!! (:
I have seen some of the very best play live including Eric Clapton and Keith Richards but none of them are as unique and amazing as Lindsey, in my opinion he is the greatest guitarist and possibly the best overall musician ever.
I think he's a fantastic musician , second to none in fact , let's all hope he gets back to full health ,
It's sad the way you feel about Lindsey Buckingham. The man's a genius.
The man is a genius and is without doubt the greatest guitar player in the world for me, part of a fantastic group of people that changed the face of music and are still doing it. I would love to meet him and Stevie Nicks but would be at a loss as to what to say to these fantastic people. They have brought such joy to peoples lives.
Lindsey is so right about making choices over a span of time and looking back afterwards to see if the choices you made were good ones or not......
all i can say is...its about time.
Undoubtedly - Lindsey was an incredible driving force behind that band, and Stevie will be first to admit that in the hands of any other guitarist, "Dreams" would never have been the song it is. That said, Lindsey has put it best about FM: "The whole ended up being greater than the sum of its parts." As far as stardom goes - yes, Stevie overshadowed them all. As far as respect goes - no stone has been unturned in honoring and awarding every member of FM with the accolades they deserve.
Its sad she now has lost all that respect by a majority of fans.
Gracie342 yea she never really gave credit to Lindsey in the first place she is very arrogant and always has been
Way to go Lindsey, congrats!
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment it is really appreciated. My point is very few people have heard of Lindsey Buckingham nor Christine Mcvie for that matter, both absolutely amazing musicians but most people you will say these names to will just look at you with a blank face especially in the UK, yet say Eric Clapton and instantly people know him including the younger generations, and I don't get that because to me Lindsey is superior both in playing and songwriting
AWESOME! Thanks for posting this... Loved it. Well deserved award!
An honest, rare man.
Soo awesome , love you Lindsay
every great guitarest has his/her own foot print of a sound like a finger print if you know music you will notice this sound,, i agree with David Edwards, Lindsey buckingham is the worlds best guitarest...!
yay! some notice for being a great guitarist!!! Over due..
I would given ANYTHING to have been there to applaud this genius!
Legend.
I love you lindsey forever....love your songs
My Boy !
I was there!
I was there!
awesome
You are Great , loved the show at Greenfield Lake
I hear you and agree. There is a whiff of the old folks' home here. I feel a little bit like crying.
I wonder if Lindsey cared that when ken came out and they played a Christine song. I know there was the story John Lennon told about the violinist who played him yesterday and he was annoyed because it was a Paul song. It's just interesting to think of the artists perspective when they're trying to be honored.
Not that they didn't honor his legendary skills properly, it's just a thought.
Does Lindsey still have that white '74 Gibson he played from '74-'78? I love the sound he got from that guitar in that time period!
So proud and happy for you. Love to you.😴😍😍😍
I respect and accept your comment.
Lindsey Buckingham is A Awesome Guitarist.
You are a master
Haha, if only there were more people like you on the internet...
@TheLordRiddler me too!
Believe it or not, I had no idea Colbie Caillat was the daughter of Ken!
Not a word from Lindsey about Les.
3 months to work on a live album????? Just HOW MUCH Of the Dance was overdubbed?????
Changing the Strings every half hour? Rather excessive. I cannot see the value in changing them with that frequency or was he joking?
Amazing, He is so wordy! haha
Shh..shh.. its okay Danny Kirwan didnt get one either so i agree, quite sacreligious ;p
I love some of Lindsey Buckinghams music and guitar playing but frankly, this is slightly disturbing. He looked very good even a few years before this. He looks very haggard and beat up here, not to mention the (I now have a 16 inch forehead) Art Garfunkel inspired hair style.
Should have stayed out of the sun, he looks red and sunburned
Lindsey Buckingham deserves that and more he's an amazing musician. An awesome guitarist
Brilliant!!! 🌚
