That lipstick is not his shade.

^^^in the end, he should thank his lucky stars and FM for that. He had a very serious heart attack while they were touring without him. He'd probably been alone in a hotel room somwhere where he'd certainly would have died if he'd toured with FM. And he deserved to be fired. He was constantly nitpicking on stevie for decades until she finally had enough. He is a great talent, but kind of a weirdo. I didn't realize until I read interviews with him that made it seem like he never emotionally developed past a certain age. He had sniped at BOTH Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie's post-FM careers, saying they were doing something like lounge-act ripoffs of FM. Which is just dumb. I do have to say that Buckingham's post-FM work has been pretty different and enjoyable, but not nearly as commercially successful. By the way, I just Googled Buckingham, and he is starting to look like the unholy love child of Christopher Walken and Art Garfunkel: ^Or an old lesbian....

Ehh...why does he look so...pretty? I'm seeing full on foundation, contour, mascara, and orchid lipstick which I didn't think was his thing?

^^^^^Whaaaaat? He used to wear more eyeliner than Stevie and Christine combined back in the 70s and early 80s and I'm pretty certain he'd spend more time on his hair, too.

True, but it wasn't this un-ironic and serious looking. It doesn't look like rock star makeup, it looks "soft" like he followed an old Teen magazine tutorial. If that makes sense? I actually thought for a second that he was transitioning and I don't think he's meaning to look like that.

I think the make-up/photoshop people did their possible best. Lindsey had a serious heart attack and open heart surgery, he had his vocal chords damaged during surgery, so it must have been quite intense. Ever since, he looked like death warmed over, with quite a big scar tissue on his neck. This is certainly some attempt to get some color onto his waxwhite features and hide the scar. It's hilarious, but they certainly tried hard. He had a hard time recently, FM had enough of his passive-aggressive bullying (Stevie left the band because she couldn't deal with his bullshit anymore and the band dropped him like a hot potato to get her back), he nearly died and his wife filed for divorce (rumoured) because he doesn't care about his health at all and she's done worrying about him on top of dealing with his general high maintance behaviour. While a brilliant guitar player and good entertainer, this guy spend his whole life in the shadows of two women who are more talented and/or far more charismatic than him, and to this day he's absolutely unable to deal with that. It's so ironic that he's still trapped in his own misogyny without any sign of awareness or remorse.
Imagine how horrible he must have been as a person when known assholes like Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton are getting hailed as guitar gods while he's not getting any recognition, even if he's technically one of the best guitar players ever. That's at least partly because he always pissed off the wrong people, he just couldn't help it and he still can't.

He belongs in the now defunct "Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians" thread from the other board.

Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians is PRECISELY what popped into my head when I saw LB's picture.
And I absolutely agree with lofty, this is all his life's bullshit coming home to ROOST. And you can see it on his face.

I hadn't thought about his health issues and surgeries. He was certainly always vain so I can see what they've done there to make him look better. Agree that it's hysterical, but also kinda sad. It's easier to laugh when you know he's a jerk. I never thought about how he'd feel about Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton...at least Eric has had his comeuppance a little bit...I mean not enough for my liking, but more people seem to know about his racist, rightwing, anti-vaxxing tendencies. But it still wouldn't be enough. On SNL, they used to do a skit where they would always have Lindsey Buckingham sitting there and they would never get to talk to him...It only makes sense if you see it. It's late and I can't even try to describe it. I loved these skits...they are just ridiculous, but I think this is how Lindsey thinks the world treats him. This one is my favorite because of Samuel L Jackson... He belongs in the now defunct "Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians" thread from the other board. That was exactly what I thought about, too. He looks like an old lesbian beauty guru. i dunno. a lot of people do a lot of bad things and they get away scot free. the less slick get caught. that pic reminds me of mick jagger during his Some Girls phase. Now I'm thinking how pretty Nick Rhodes looked at his first wedding with pink eyeshadow and pink everything else. I loved guys who wore makeup way back then. But I also went on a Depeche Mode kick for a bit and was noticing how much makeup (mostly eyeliner) that they used to wear, too. I'm just feeling nostalgic.

Who wants to talk with LB when Stevie Nicks is in the room? Seriously. Yeah, Eric Clapton is a piece of work. Made a legendary career out of copying black music and is just plain racist. You can't make that shit up. I heard him doing a cover version of Stevie Wonder's "I ain't gonna stand for it" on Youtube. Tons of white people comenting that he gave the song so much more meaning. GMAFB! Who could make a Stevie Wonder song better in the first place? And then Eric Clapton of all people?. It boggles my mind.

I just came here to say l truly think Eric Clapton is a piece of shit and his music sucks. His discography of great hit songs is rather limited.

^^^THIS! ITA
Too bad he has "Leila" in his catalogue, so I can't give him my full extend of disapproval.
