. The best part of the night was Lindsay's guitar solo during "I'm So Afraid". Hands down some of the greatest guitar playing I've seen in my life.
I call hyperbole
Naw. Really true. I've seen Townshend, Keith Richards/Ron Wood, Lenny Kaye, Johnny Ramone, J Mascis, Bob Mould, Angus Young, Kerry King, Ron Asheton, Billy Zoom, Jack White, Lou Reed, Kevin Shields, Curt Kirkwood, Thurstoon Moore/Lee Ranaldo, Rick Nielsen, Steve Stevens...I know what a good guitarist does. Lindsay holds his own and if you've ever seen him play, you know the guy has chops. What sets him apart (besides technique) is the emotion that he channels through his guitar. Most guitarists use a pick...he uses his fingers, and the effect is dramatic. My argument is that there aren't a lot of people out there with his style, which is what makes him special. I say this as a person who used to loathe Fleetwood Mac when I was growing up, until I reached a point when I could approach their music with a more objective viewpoint. Unlike a lot of bands that sell a ton of records and don't have the talent to back it up, FM has it in spades.
