"WHAT UP WITH THAT".... LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM SNL DEC 4th

What Up With That...
A tribute to Hollywood.

The real Robert Deniro, Robin Williams and Lindsey Buckingham (portrayed by Bill Hader) on SNL December 4th.

In another classic version of this sketch... Lindsey's introduced as a Movie Enthusiast who agreed to appear on his birthday, with the possibility that he'll actually get to speak... But again, because of time restraints Lindsey misses out on the opportunity... In the end because they ran out of time the host Deandre Cole gives him a birthday present, a picture of the host with LB in the background.

Here's an idea of the skit... Rough recording!

FLEETWOOD MAC'S "BEHIND THE MUSIC" (REMASTERED) TONIGHT

Don't miss tonights edition of VH1 Behind The Music Remastered featuring Fleetwood Mac.  New interviews are included by most of the members of Fleetwood Mac, presumably everyone but Christine McVie... Also David Wild, Rollingstone Contributing Editor was interviewed earlier this year for the remastered version...Check it out at 9pm on VH1 Classic - check local listings.

If you are in the US you can likely watch the episode on line at the VH1 Classic website either after the first episode airs or after it's initial run which is over the course of the next 7 days.

Sadly VH1 hasn't figured out that there are tons of fans of Fleetwood Mac beyond the US border and restrict viewing on their site to only the US - so if you are outside the US, you won't be able to watch online.  But I suspect it will end up on youtube shortly after it airs.

This version of BTM will be an update to the 1997 version - which you can watch below:

GUITAR TECHNIQUES... LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM "GO YOUR OWN WAY"

Really great shot of Lyndsey Lindsey Buckingham from 1977 in the January, 2011 issue of Guitar Techniques - along with all the notes to play "Go Your Own Way"



Note to the editor of this magazine... Is it really that difficult to check for the proper spelling of the artist name you are featuring in your mag? It appears incorrectly in the article with the spelling Lyndsey, yet in the caption on the photo you get it right.
