Only the best for Mutt, his studio looks out of this world. Shania will choose to discuss her music plans when she's ready and if he will or won't be producing.

Notice the bottle of wine and glasses? Interesting, who had that I wonder?

I hope he'll be happy with his new setup (rolling eyes).

biggrin Go Linda,
you know watching these pics a particular song came on my mind,is the duet of Faith with Tim 'Like We Never Loved At All',i don't mean to be corny,but there a line in this songs that says "maybe is that you way of dealing with the pain".
so maybe this is Mutt's way,he just built a huge world class studio,while he is getting a divorce.
he seems to be doing well,and ready to produce some more music,i just hope shania is the same and even better.

Interesting that Mutt allowed these pictures to be released. I guess he is telling the world he still is in business. I hope Shania is doing fantastically and is writing up a storm. I hope she shows Mutt exactly what she is made of.

When you have the kind of millions that he does, expense doesn't matter and Shania will prove she's back in business, after she's had some time to mend her broken heart.

Yeah, I don't think I can support this guy anymore by buying what he produces.  I will support Shania and he can have his fancy home studios and go back to "business as usual" may he choke on that pretzel, lol.

Thanks for the confirmation Angie on Nickelback.  That kind of music is Mutt's alley.  I remember those great photos of his loon echo studio as well.  Impressive today as it was in 1995 or so.

I agree to an extent...What are you gonna do if you lose your copy of TWIM?
Not buy it again because it's chalk-full of Mutt? What about AC/DC, or the many others he's done in the past? There's no doubt that what he did to Shania was completely arrogant, and that he needs to be kicked in the balls repeatedly!  
fight.gif
But don't go making yourself crazy, boycott all the stuff he does post break-up.
His recording library is too vast UP until now to discard. (imo)

Maybe Mutt will get his mistress into that new recording studio of his and make an album with her.smile I just can't understand how this new relationship he has will last. Surely Mutt would only be happy with a woman who is in the same business as himself. Weren't his other wife's singers too?

Shania will be fine in the studio without Mutt. She doesn't need his pro-tools and drum machines. I'm sure she may even enjoy recording in an analogue studio again. As much as I enjoyed Up! it did have a synthetic sound to it. I didn't enjoy the flat drum sounds either. I much prefer the drum sounds on the WIM album.

I hope Nickleback enjoy been holed up in that studio with Mutt for a year too.smile Something tells me that they may get bored.

I would suggest all Mutt's future work sharkk and besides Shania's albums, I'm a country boy who listens to a little rock on the side but I don't own any of those Mutt works other than Shania. When I hear it that's fine, but I don't own any of it. So I'm in the safe zone. smile.gif

Adios Mutt (you dirty dog) Lange.

I agree.  I mean I like it all and I know Mutt is a genius and has his fancy pro tools and drum machines, but that was always his and hers criticism of the sound.  Just something about it at certain times sounded unnatural. 

Have fun nickleback being grounded to do it over and over again for the next several months.  smile.gif

Exactly, Robert "Mutt the dirty dog" Lange, his name just keeps getting longer.

He should be called dirty dog for short from now on. smile.gif

Mutt is offensive to all the mixed dog breeds out there. Dang it that swine.

I will assigned my secretary,her new job is to compile a list of all the Radio Stations in the U.S.A. and CANADA. The list will have phone numbers,E-mail address, street address, citys and states. So when Shania comes out with a C.D. we will call or E-mail the station to please play the C.D. and will keep calling until they do. We will call and get her on the Crook and Chase show.

Hello Kay1017us.  Greetings from Stockholm where I have been for a few days before returning to Johannesburg (tomorrow).

You (and Muzikproducer) are a breath of fresh air in all this debate - some objectivity amongst all the bias!  If Shania is the woman we all believe her to be, and she is seeing these exchanges, she probably cringes everytime she reads the vitriole being written about her husband/the father of her son/the man who made her one of the most successful female singers of all time! (And it wouldn't be a bad thing if all his critics remembered that until such time as there is a divorce, he will continue to be her husband.)

Without casting any aspersions on People Magazine and its checking of its "sources", people close to those who have been hurt often say things which are not necessarily the truth - they are frequently upset, angry, and outspoken without being sure of their facts.  And they sometimes speak out unbeknown to those directly involved, or before those involved have had time to think through the issues with a clear head.  (The National Enquirer, on the other hand, capitalises on the amazing appetite of the general public for salacious gossip/'dirt'.  As we all know, but choose to forget at times, certain journalists are very good at rearranging words to make them imply something quite different/a whole lot more sensational than what was originally intended.)  

Mutt Lange is a fine man.  I knew him as a kid growing up (our fathers both worked for Anglo American in the then Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland - now Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi); he has a fine family in South Africa; and he has never walked out on, or abandoned any of his commitments/responsibilities in the past - and I'm certain he is not doing so now.  Shania loves him - if she didn't, she wouldn't be so upset now.  He was besotted with her - only a few months ago they were seen holding hands in restaurants.  If he was such a rotter, why - after 14 years - would she be so heartbroken now at the prospect of the break-up of her marriage???

None of us knows what has led to this split ... but I reiterate, it takes two to make a relationship and two to break it.  It also takes two to pick up the pieces and put them together again. If Shania has now gone back to Switzerland, that is a good thing. It indicates that she has probably cooled off a little and may be ready to think rationally about the causes and possible solutions to her predicament. Both Mutt and Shania are devoted to their son ... they will put his welfare before all else.  And I believe they will also make music together again... probably at the new Swiss studio!

I would very much like to hear Robin Eggars' take on the Lange split .. wouldn't you?  I wonder why no-one in the media has been in touch with him?

Observer,

Welcome to the forum!

Nice to hear your opinions. I agree with you - it takes two people in a relationship to break it and two to fix it. When a love as strong as theirs has an issue, I would imagine that tempers on both sides could easily get out of control and hurful things can be said in a moment of anger. It's so easy to blame Mutt. Since they're both in Switzerland, hopefully they're working it out.

We don't know the truth of what is happening between Mutt and Shania - only those two people know what is happening and I believe that it should stay that way.

Yes, I would like to hear Robin Eggars' take on the split. Does anyone know if he has a website? I've been looking, but I haven't found a site for him.

Welcome observer. I also welcome your comments. It is very sad to think that only 2 months ago they were holding hands and now this. I have no doubt they will put Eja first in all future proceeding. I don't think anyone thought Mutt would do anything else. All I can say is that it is very sad that their marriage has come to this. There is nothing positive about divorce.

Hey guys and gals,
actually most of us here are joking and we don't really mean what we say about Mutt,we are not morons we know that Mutt is the father of shania's only child.
we are just trying to make the situation lighter,and certainly shania can't be better off Mutt,because she loves him.
who wants a divorce anyway??

so you 2 guys think that maybe there is a slight chance of shania and ,Mutt get back together?? that would be wonderful but would shania announce her separation from Mutt if she wasn't sure??i mean she always have been a very sensible woman.
i really have no idea what may have caused their separation,everyone here was in shock after we read the news.
actually i still can't believe it,i have to hear shania herself to say so to really believe this.
btw i thought about R.Eggar too,he seemed so confident of his knowledge,like she really knew shania well.
i bet he had no idea that all of this could happened.

I agree with you Country Gal, TWO GUYs what every Shania wants i will support her 100 per-cent. But what upset me is that he is not a man that support her, like going to the award shows to say how proud he his of her. All her fans are proud of her. She is a classy lady in my book. Nobody is going to tell me other wise.

smile Hello Grape grower,
i totally agree with you,i will support shania too ,no matter what,and i'm proud to be her fan,this is never going to change despite what may happen in the future.
3 days before the sad news was out i wanted to post an extract from one of shania's interview that was taken in'05,she talked on her love about Mutt and i just thought they 'd last forever,of course i don't fell like posting it now.
i just thought that Mutt being much older than her and spiritual ,as they say of him,he would always find a way to make that marriage work,i'm so dissapointed,i really don't know what to think.
not that shania means less as a person to me now,it's just that i've always thought they'd last,this was a huge shock for me personally.

btw 'observer'the fact that you knew Mutt when you were a kid means nothing to me, because some of my childhood friends have grown up to be nothing like they were when we were kids,they just became selfish people,i'm not saying that this is the case for Mutt too,i just wanted to say this about childhood friends.

Thank you,
that's a big compliment to me because my English aren't that good,i'm just trying to do my best expressing my thoughts,i guess i am too passionated when it comes to Shania and that's inspiring.
and it's always a pleasure to see fans like you that love shania also as a human being  and not as the Diva the 'sales record setter'.

My friends - it is midnight in Sweden and I have work to do but I still have things to say after reading all your comments.

Firstly, no-one is doubting, or would ever doubt, your loyalty to Shania - you wouldn't be logging in to these discussions if you did not care for her.

In Africa, it unfortunately often happens that uneducated, primitive people decide amongst themselves that someone is guilty of a crime and then take it upon themselves to metre out punishment.  They beat their victim (who is frequently innocent) to death with bricks, sticks and other makeshift weapons. Take care that you do not unwittingly behave in a similar manner... you are not uneducated, primitive people.

Words are very powerful things - they can become reality if repeated often enough. It is therefore important if we are going to repeat things, to ensure that the messages we convey are positive ones.

Country Gal: I have no idea whether Mutt and Shania will get together again, but I hope that they do.  I'm not sure who actually initiated the public announcement about their separation - I originally thought that it was Mutt - however, people often do unwise things on the spur of the moment, and later regret it.  I agree with you that Mutt should never have let this happen... but Shania also has considerable life experience and the Sant Matt philosophy to guide her... she too should have been able to prevent it. Like you, I was personally devastated when I heard the news. Again like you, I expected more of Mutt, initially holding him responsible for destroying all my romantic illusions. My feeling was that if THEY couldn't keep it together, then no couple would ever be able to do so.  But I soon realised that that was a foolish stance to take.  All around me was evidence of relationships that have weathered the inevitable storms and emerged stronger for having been through them. 

Grape Grower: I think you have hit the nail on the head. Even though I'm sure that Shania has known from the outset that Mutt would never share the limelight with her, and initially thought going it alone would not matter to her, resentment over his "lack of support" has probably been building up slowly over the years.  On the Shania-Twain.co.uk website, in the news section, there is a great article written by Piers Morgan (of 'America's Got Talent' fame) who sat next to Shania en route to the Vegas ACMAs last year. During the flight, she told him her favourite song was "I'm Jealous" (from the 'Up' album).  He asked her if she had been (jealous), and her answer was "Very".  She probably started imagining all sorts of unsavoury scenarios taking place during her frequent absences - especially if she was feeling a little insecure. In those circumstances, it doesn't take much to transform an innocent domestic disagreement into a barrage of wild accusations. Mutt would consider answering those sorts of accusations as being beneath him so he wouldn't have got involved in the argument.  He would probably have just walked away.  Maybe Marie Ann Thiebaud was around to lend a sympathetic ear and some encouraging words ... who knows. But even if that were the case, it doesn't mean he had an affair with her.  I don't believe he did.

By the way, we should probably be having this discussion somewhere else .. it doesn't have much to do with Mutt's new studios!  My fault - sorry.

And yet you go on to make a post that has more bias to it than just about any other post I've read on Tommy's boards.  Except for those made by that goofball KingWalter, of course.  smile

But it's ok, all views are welcome here.  But those who claim objectivity really should take a closer look at themselves.

You'll also find that Piers Morgan article was nothing more than a spoof article too. The guy worked as an editor on some of the most downmarket tabloids over here. He thought this was a funny article I guess.

Hey observer,
i'm sorry if i made you feel uncomfortable, but my comments about fans the aren't devoted weren't for you personally.
if they were i'd have told you directly,it was for some other "fans" that hang around the web.
if you go back to our older posts,you'd see that i was NEVER believed that Mutt had an affair with that Marrie lady,i just don't know why but i can't believe it,call it an instict,i really don't know.
and yes i agree i thought too that they were the "perfect" couple,i was just upset that another marriage have broke down,i ve always hated divorces even though my parents are still together,i've always been afraid of divorces.
yes,we are not primotive people..i guess,he he
i'm not going to bash you,don't you worry,unless if you started accusing shania of something.
i just hope that maybe shania and Mutt could work this out and realize that they are BETTER off TOGETHER.

Welcome Rose...You must believe in Santa claus if you believe the reply that most of us are joking and making light of things with respect to Mutt...That is garbage in my opinion.The reason being is ...Well..Just read the MANY posts for yourself..It never ends...You are right..Most of this site are Mutt bashers...Is it fair???...Court is still in session... In my opinion they both contributed to this mess as I have posted... Did her leave her YEP....Did he sleep around..NO IDEA...Do I trust the sources...NOPE....Do I think Mutt screwed up her life..REP.. Would I want to be married to her...NOPE.....Hopefully you can see that I might not fit the "shania is god" club as much as you might think. As far as getting back together...Well it happens every day but nearly always fails in the END doesn't it
Now reading your post it would seem that there are only 3 people with a brain on this site...You and your 2 named members....To that I would take GREAT exception ...Not to suggest that I am on of the smart ones but...ALOT of top draft picks on this site... ALOT....Will leave it at that....Bob

And who's to say that Sant Matt is the way forward. Is it not just another cult? All I saw was that this crackpot religion put unhelpful burdans on Shania living a normal lifestyle.

Hey Bob - No offence meant to anyone.  I was responding only to those who had commented on my earlier posting. I'm backing out of this now... seems like I've stirred up enough of a hornet's nest for one night.
