Last album?

[Tangofan]

Hy everyone,

I'm just wondering if 'Say You Will' will be the last FM album. After releasing it the band will go on a worldwide tour which will end in late 2004 or early 2005. After that there will be a vacation break of at least a year so it will be 2006 when the group has the opportunity to get back into the studio. Considering the time Lindsey needs to create an album it would not be earlier than 2008 when a new album will come out. Alternatives: Lindsey will release a solo album after the tour. (Although he has enough leftovers I don't think that it will come out immediately, so a possible FM album after releasing a solo one will see us in 2010.) Other possibility: FM throws in the five leftovers from the 'Say You Will' sessions (which we know now aren't all Lindsey songs) plus 3 leftovers from Christine's solo album and three new songs from Lindsey, Stevie und Christine, get in the studio, record these 6 songs (which will take a year) and release a final album in 2006/2007 called 'Swan song' without touring.

lol "Swan Song" - very.. interesting!!!:laugh:

BTW am I the only one who's a bit freaked out about all this '2005', '2008', '2010' stuff? I feel like I'm in a science fiction book :distress:

I for one have no idea but obviously dream for a second FM album - possibly over an LB album...(hides face from tomatoes)

Don't agree with Christine coming back into the album mix though. And don't get me wrong - I am the biggest Chrsitine fan! Next to Cristian!!
I'd rather see Christine just do her solo thing. Damn I can't wait for that album!

No, you're not the only one.

[macfan 57]

This is absurd. By 2008 and beyond, they will be just about ready to soon start collecting social security.:) In my opinion, solo stuff is certainly possible, but another large-scale Fleetwood Mac project is just not realistic. It's got to end sometime. And, Christine is definitely done with Fleetwood Mac.

I know it's scary to think about, but 2008 is only 5 years away, and that's excactly how long ago from now the Dance was. I don't think it's all that unfeasible to exect something in the future. I hardly think their bodies are going to begin to decompose in the next five years, as you seem to be implying, and I highly doubt their ambition to create music will fade away in such a short amount of time. I expect at least one more solo project from Stevie, and I wouldn't say one more FM album is out of the question. Perhaps they will grow tired of extensive touring, but nothing should prohibit them from recording.

[nae]

Every time they put out a new album I think it might be their last.
I figured the Dance would have been it. That's why I'm so excited about this one. The best part for me is the chance to see them live again.

If they don't put out another album,I think each one of them will continue to work in the business in one form or another. I'm kinda wishing for Stevie & Lindsey to come out with an album on their own, with maybe with a few old BN songs thrown into the mix. :nod:

That sounds really nice. If they do something low-key in the next few years that weren't hyped up because of the FM name (it may be a refreshing change after SYW becomes a huge hit and all the hoopla dies eventually down), that would be really nice...I love it when they paired up for "Twisted." I want a Lindsey solo so badly... I just need to hear the final versions of those gorgeous GOS demos the way he wants us to hear them. But I think Lindsey could easily release some, if not all of that material on a second BN album...without having Stevie's influence cramp his style. Keep in mind every FM album he's been on has songs that Stevie probably didn't contribute to at all. I just love Stevie's music when it's influenced by Lindsey.
Then again, I might just be entertaining this idea now because I'm so annoyed with Mick and wouln't mind seeing them distance themselves from him. But I guess I should seperate my opinions of their business skills from my opinions of their artistic ones.:shrug:

I don't know what the terms of their record contract are. Maybe they owe their label more albums.

Personally, I think they're out of time. We saw how the reunion popularity did nothing to ramp up the rate at which they release music. If that didn't do it, nothing will. I also don't believe they're going to be on the road for "Say You Will" through 2004. No flippin' way. If these guys tour for even six months, I'll eat my suitcase. These are not people who have the youth or the stamina or the desire or the history for maintaining a two-year tour. To repeat: there's no flippin' way.

There's also no flippin' way that studio stuff is going to be released on the heels of this tour, whether it's a Buckingham solo album or another Mac album of leftovers. Since 1975, the band has never done that & it just rings so false to me that this would happen. Everybody keeps talking about whole albums' worth of material being left over & "ready" to send to market. I think the idea that they would push this "Say You Will" album for six months with publicity & a tour & then put something else out right on its heels is ridiculous. How can you think Fleetwood Mac would do that? This is a band that has taken five years to follow up a smash reunion with more studio work. Five years!

Now as for Stevie herself, I think she'll keep going solo. I think that last tour of hers didn't exactly give her closure because of all the terrible stuff that occurred. She'll want to tour again, & she moves quite a bit quicker than Fleetwood Mac does. I bet she'll write some more songs on the road & start recording them after Fleetwood Mac gets home from touring. All she needs is about two years from the time her Mac participation ends until the time she's ready to release something.

Mick, of course, will continue to concoct harebrained business schemes. Christine may not do anything if she can't get a label to release the music she's working on now. Lindsey will just slide off the radar screen altogether, but continue to give occasional interviews in which he says that the music he's doing "now is the best music I've ever done, either alone or with Fleetwood Mac." And we'll hear it when some A&R guy somewhere leaks it.

John might just literally wind up twiddling his thumbs, particularly once his daughters reach driving age.

-Sonia I'm trying to do that, too, Sonia. But it's getting difficult. Each powerful kick of the bass drum on "The Chain" is beginning to sound like the ka-ching of a cash register in my mind.

I mean, the thing is over, she has spoken and I still wait for the solo album she was preparing. But then FM is now Stevie, Lindsey, Mick and John. No 'Christine coming back'... at least for me. And yes, I am a big fan of hers.

Song of the moment - Countdown

[Christopher]

David -you nailed it LOL!!...
I believe this too will be Fleetwood Macs' last recording....sorry if that sounds pessimistic- but Im even suprised that we are gettiing this one.....there was doubt cause it took soooo long.
Maybe, just maybe they might get together and do a farewell tour in 4-5 years or better yet on the 3rd leg of this tour they will suddenly announce this is their Farewell tour to milk it out even more !!@...but new recordings- Hmmm I really have my doubts...unless SYW becomes a runaway smash selling 4-5 million or more copies

But I do anticipate moderate success for SYW (1--2 million ) and that will spearhead at least Stevie and MAYBE Lindsey to do some solo recordings..

[seteca]

I think there will be another album with Lindsey at the helm. It might be a Fleetwood Mac album or a solo project, but I think he still has a lot left in him. Judging from interviews it sounds as though he feels like he is definitely at his strongest now, both as a writer/producer and also as a guitarist. I don't think this will be the last we hear from LB.

There's no doubt in mind at all that Stevie will continue to make albums, regardless of whether it's with FM or on her own. She loves writing too much to ever stop.

I hope they decide to continue as Fleetwood Mac, but if either of them leaves, I think the band (i.e. Mick) should call it day. i.e. don't go hire Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears to replace them. (It would no doubt be a very tempting thought for him though...think about all that young hard-earned spectator CA$$$$$$$$H!!!)

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[Villavic]

I don't think this tour will end in late 2004. Maybe they want to, but let's realize, they are in their fifties.

I would suggest them to save energies for a next (soon) album , touring or not. And I hope, with Christine (why don't they record in England??)

But long tours, I'd love them, but I prefer more albums..

About Lindsey's time to get inspired, well if this album works great, maybe he will want to record again soon!!

Long live to the MAC

[Rainman]

I'm just enough of a dreamer to agree with Seteca on this one. They do have a lot of material left over, if we can believe what we hear. Maybe there's another album in the works to follow. Stranger things have happened (but not many!)

About them NEVER putting out another album quickly, is everyone forgetting the Fleetwood Mac (White Album)/Rumours scenario? Was it even a year between those two albums? So it's not unheard of. But maybe Lindsey wasn't as much of a perfectionist back then.

Anyway, I'm thinking there could be another album on the way, and not so far in the future that we'll all be driving hydrogen-powered flying cars when it gets here.

[LindseyRocks]

Ok - since we're in to speculating a bit, I thought I'd add my two cents:

I'm not at all convinced that this will be the last FM album with Lindsey and Stevie. As we've seen in interviews (particularly Lindsey's VH1 behind the music), it sounds like Lindsey Stevie, and Mick have all ronconciled those resentments with each other. They've grown up, and are finding they can work together once again. Why else would Lindsey decide to roll a solo effort ten years in the making into the FM progect? In everything I've read and seen about Lindsey, he's not about the money - he's all about the art. It also appears that he may have been a little wiser about the money he's earned over the years - thus he really doesn't NEED the money to do what he wants to do. My contention is that the members' friendships and working relationships have been totally rekindled due to maturity - time heals all wounds.

Also, Lindsey has stated that he wished he could make albums faster, and that maybe he will be able to do that in the future. I think he's just getting warmed up. I think he's learned so much over the years about producing, technology, etc. that it is no longer as time consuming for him to do what he wants to do. In essence, he appears to be getting his art down to a science to the point where he knows how to accomplish what he's after much more quickly. With all the technological advances in music over the last 15 years (i.e. digital hard drive recording, etc), he's probably had to learn a LOT of stuff. It may be that things that used to take a lot longer to do no longer require as much time due to these advances in technology. Look how quickly he was able to produce this new FM album (Stevies songs, etc) compared to how long it has historically taken him to do his solo albums. It's only been a couple of years. I mean, I realize this is all just specualtion, but these are my contentions based on what I've seen and heard.

In short, I think the claims of others on this board that this will be the last FM album are completely baseless. All the evidence that we've seen appears to lend itself to the exact opposite point of view. Even Lindsey has said of his relationship with Stevie something to the effect that they're learning to trust each other again - something he said they were unable to do for a long time.

However, with that said, I will say that even if this is the last FM album, I don't think it will be Lindsey's last. And if it is the last FM record, I agree with others that Mick should just hang it up and call it a day. No sense in trying to come up with another version of the band. I mean, while "Time" was a good record, it wasn't Lindsey, and that made all the difference. You really had to listen to it as a "non-Fleetwood Mac" record to be able to appreciate it.

So that's my humble opinion -

thanks for reading,
david

[wondergirl9847]

David, welcome to the Ledge, first of all...secondly, I LOVE your screen name!! LOL Check out my sig down there...LINDSEY RULES (and ROCKS!!!)!! :nod::D

I pray this is not the last studio album, I mean, they all look so good (well, John looks a lil rough..LOL) and healthy!! They really are one of the few great-looking bands that are over 50!! If I didn't know the history of the band, I would say "GET OUT OF TOWN!!" if you told me any of them had drug/drinking problems!! Anywho...I agree with everyone who said Stevie WILL NOT be retiring any time soon, she's married to this career and will keep on truckin'!! :nod: I'm glad she's not like some rockers (i.e. Grace Slick) who have stopped rockin' out to paint. :rolleyes: Stevie can paint when she's 80!! They need to give us at least ONE more album (I would KILL for TWO!!!!) before they all hang it up!! I hate that I came into the band so late in their "life" because I missed out on alot (including The Dance, a time when LOTS of younger fans fell in love with them), but I found Lindsey and FM for a reason and everything happens for a reason. Good gravy, I sound like a Hallmark card...or John Mayer. LOL Anyways...I am holding out hope that GOS makes it to the light of day and Lindsey gains TONS of fans on this tour!!!! PLEASE GOD, let him get the credit he DESERVES!!!!!!

[LindseyRocks]

Thanks for the warm welcome Christy -

I totally agree. Lindsey really has never received the credit he deserves. Let's face it...without him that classic FM sound would've never existed. He was the one who pushed the artistic envelope. Don't get me wrong. Stevie and Christine are great songwriters, and things wouldn't have been the same without them either. But it took Lindsey's keen artistic senseability to transform those songs into the classic sound that we all know and love. I mean, look what happened when FM tried to do Behind the Mask. The songwriting was good, but it wasn't the "classic" sound - Lindsey should get the credit for that.

Although I must say that in kind of a odd and indirect way, he did get some recognition, as both BTM and Time didn't really do that well. Yet the Dance comes along and debuts at number one (without any new "studio" material). At least, I think it debuted at number one (someone correct me if I'm mistaken), but it was at least in the top ten - and it was a LIVE album - lol.

Out Of The Cradle, IMHO, sounded closer to that classic sound than anything FM did after he left. And the same goes for how he did Fleetwood Mac songs on his solo tour during that time (I had front row seats here in Seattle!!) - they sounded way better than when FM tried to do them without him on the BTM tour.

Hello and welcome, David. :wavey:
I agree Lindsey's still got plenty of music and energy left in him, and that he's totally not doing it for the $$, and that we are far from hearing/seeing the last of Mr. Buckingham. I also agree with Christy about Stevie...she'll be recording till she's 80...and I'm sure we will hear-- at the very least-- another album with the two of them on it, with or without Mick, John and/or Christine.
However, I disagree that it's no longer as time consuming to make music. If you read that guitar player magazine interview with Lindsey, he admits he still uses tape, not recording software:eek:. I don't think he was all that quick to produce Stevie's music this time, at least not any faster than he's done in the past. I don't think Stevie's music has ever taken him very long to work with. It seems he just instinctively knows what to do with it! But as optimistic as I am, I don't think Lindsey's own music output pace is going to get much speedier. I think the fact that he's got two young children is an acceptable excuse. It would make sense that he would have learned enough to speed up the pace, but even if he has, I think he'll always do the studio hermit thing and take years playing with a song till its music to his ears. :D
-Sonia

[LindseyRocks]

You make some good points Sonia. And maybe you're right. I really don't know for sure. But I have a feeling that, regardless of technology, he's learned a lot about his craft - about how to get some of what he's after more quickly. I could be totally wrong - this is all specualtion of course, and that aspect of what I'm saying could be totally baseless. I would like to read that Guitar Player interview though and see what he has to say:)

Thanks for your warm welcome

david

[estranged4life]

Lindsey & Stevie will continue recording solo music for years to come (Hopefully Lindsey's music gets released to the public)...As for FM, I really couldnt tell ya; I think after this album/tour FM will be up in the air...Brian J.

[wondergirl9847]

http://www.angelfire.com/music3/rhiannon/Lindsey_Interview.html

Here is the link to the Guitar Player interview. Our own, Brian "COOL DUDE!!" J. typed it up for all of us!! Thanks man!! The article is very detailed and technical!!

BTW, you are going to fit in JUST FINE around these parts!! LOL Seteca, we have another Lindsey fan....YAHOO!!!!!! :laugh::D

You were FRONT ROW at the OOTC concert in Seattle?!?!?! DO TELL MAN, SPILL IT!! LOL Did you get to meet or talk with Lindsey? How did he sound? What did he say?

*calming down now* :)

[PenguinHead]

Wondergirl...I was fortunate enough to see Lindsey play his Out Of The Cradle show at a small venue, The Roseland in Portland, Oregon. He opened solo with Big Love and Go Insane. He immediately blew the audience away. Then, once his army of guitarists and the rest of the band joined in, everyone became nearly overwhelmed by this huge wall of sound and passion that filled the room. I've been to hundreds of shows and concerts since 1979, and Lindsey's was one of the most memorable. I recall observing, during the show, people with their jaws open in disbelief about power of what they were hearing and seeing. The place was packed (1,500?) and Lindsey put all his sweat, energy and soul into every second of the performance. The crowd was hyped (in a good way!) at a level I've never really experienced before or since. Who knew there were so many die-hard Lindsey fans in Portland? One menacing audience member shouted out "Where's Stevie?" in between songs. The audience chuckled while Lindsey smirked and laughed.

[wondergirl9847]

Lucky you!! I would have been like this ---> :mad: if that knucklehead yelled out "Where's Stevie?"!! LOL I'm glad to hear that Lindsey just laughed it off...I'm sure that hurt him tho on the inside. :( How cool that there were so many people there to see Lindsey!! YAY!! You don't know how bad I want those wierdos to actually make a time machine so I can go back to 1992 and see Lindsey live!! I am dying for this album/tour to begin!!!!!!!!!

[LindseyRocks]

yep PenguinHead, you nailed it. I was front row center at the Seattle show and it really did kick ass. Lindsey opened with acoustic versions of Go Insane and Big Love before launching into Don't Look Down with the full "guitar army" and band. I remember just being in awe of my "idol". He did all kinds of stuff at that show -- "Trouble"and "Holiday Road" were a couple of real treats. From OOTC he did "Soul Drifter", "This is the Time", "Doing What I Can" (I think), "All My Sorrows", "Street of Dreams", and I'm sure some other stuff. I don't really remember everything he did, as this was ten years ago. I do remember him doing quite a bit of FM stuff too - such as "The Chain" and "I'm So Afraid".

One thing I do remember him not doing was "Countdown" (one of my favorites from OOTC). He also didn't do much from his first two solo albums.

But it was a awesome show. Also around 1500 people or so were there. And Christy, I didn't get to meet him - the opportunity just didn't present itself. I don't know what I would've said to him if I did though. I mean, what do you say to someone like that? I'm certainly not going to be one of those guys that meets his idol and says something stupid like "you know, I'm a musician too. I write my own songs" - lol. So I'm glad that situation never even occurred.

david

[LindseyRocks]

Oh, I forgot to thank you Christy for re-posting that Guitar Player link. I appreciate it. And special thanks to Brian for typing it up. Dude, YOU ROCK!!! I'm real interested in the technical stuff that Lindsey is doing and using to put forth his vision.

You totally read my mind. All I've heard about the OOTC tour is it was absolutely amazing. Anyone know if there's any decent video out there from it?
-Sonia

[stefan]

Hi Sonia and all the Lindsey fans! Yes there is one. It was a TV appearance called "Center Stage". After 5 years of fruitless search for a bootleg CD or sth like this on German CD/LP trade venues I finally got access to the Internet in 1997 and found so many sites and infos about FM and LB. So I got to know about that Center Stage thing, and after a while managed to find someone in the US who sent me several copies by UPS (for cash, but for me it was worth every cent)
The video (not an official one- it`s an taped thing) is a great one, surely not the same as the live thing was but I was pretty excited to finally get it... Surely somebody overseas can send you a copy! Have fun with it, Stefan :wavey:

[Rainman]

Penguinhead and LindseyRocks, I saw that same show in Vancouver, Canada. I've written about it before on the Ledge, so other Ledgies may be tired of my saying so, but . . .

Like the Portland and Seattle shows, the audience was absolutely shellshocked when he opened with Big Love and Go Insane. It was just jaw-dropping. This woman sitting next to me looked at me with these huge eyes and said "this guy's a god." I say this with a straight face; those were her exact words.

Vancouver's mainstream and alternative papers were uncharacteristically effusive in their reviews. The Vancouver Sun opened with "I don't know what the rest of Vancouver was doing last night, but those who attended Lindsey Buckingham's performance at the Commodore were treated to the best show at that venue in many years."

Yeah, the FM songs he played were incredibly rich and passionate. To this day it's the best concert I've ever seen, and probably the best I will ever see--when would I ever again get to see him in a nightclub audience of 500 people or so, sitting in the front row?

Thanks for jogging a good memory.

[wondergirl9847]

I have CHILLS reading your review of the concert!! WOW!!! That lady saying Lindsey is a god!! I don't like when people say that about a human being because of my Christian background, but I get where she is coming from. She was in awe!! I'm sure I'll be in a HYPNOTIC HAZE when I go to see Lindsey/FM this summer!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Vancouver!! I'm going to be visiting next year sometime!! I'm so excited to be coming to Canada!! I've heard so many good things about Vancouver!! :)

Anywho...hearing your stories of seeing Lindsey is AWESOME, but sad too because it makes me wish I could have seen him, but I have to keep telling myself, "You will be seeing him soon!!"

:blob1::blob2:

[chiliD]

If Nostradamus is as accurate as legend has claimed him to be, there's not enough time left in the world as we know it for Lindsey to complete another album after this Fleetwood Mac blitz. If the originator of this thread's calculations are even close, add a couple of years for "Buckingham's typical delays" that puts the "next" album at around 2012, the year the apocalyspe according to Nostradamus is to occur.

Nahhh...I've always thought that Nostradamus was smoking some real good stuff. However, don't you think that 2012 may be pushing it for LB? He's gettin' older and has youngsters and a wife at home...I'd say 2021 is more likely.

[strandinthewind]

I have always thought a second record is in the near future because: (1) all of the "fully produced" songs have not made the final Say You Will Record, (2) the supposed number of other songs in demo or partially produced form, and (3) the clear financial incentive the artists and Warner/Reprise to have two records with "hit singles" and, more importantly, the related catalog sales and tour revenues. I mean it was in Atlanta magazine this month that Elton John made an estimated $30 million or so last year in catalog sales alone; that is not counting what his record company made. So, even if FM can make half or a third of that amount two times with two different record releases I think they would do it. Also, while I have always been somewhat "fuming" at LB for taking forever to produce something, the recent article in the Guitar magazine suggests I have been somewhat wrong in this recent case because the GOS songs apparently have been ready for several years and he took only a year or so to add SN and FM (in some cases) to them and also produce her 10 or so new songs all while for a significant amount of time she was on tour or vocally ill. So, hopefully, all of this will lead to at least one more new record from FM. In fact, if Warner/Reprise would only call me and ask my opinion:cool: :D

I'm actuallly more freaked out at not having anything new to listen to for five years. I have listened to SYW for almost a year now. I hope within a year (since it appears this new leg of the tour will be short one) Stevie will do another solo album and a quick (three months max) tour. Then they can do a new FM album (quickly!) and go back on tour. I don't want them to rush things along. I want them to only give us great material, but three years to create one album is insane!

[littlelies7]

I certainly hope not that this is it! Plus, I highly doubt that this will be their last album.

I have my hopes.

Unrelated note: I believe the end of the world is when it happens. I believe there isn't any specific date. Trust me, if we have known that, we all would be miserable.

~~

Here's to a new album soon! :thumbsup:

[Hawkeye]

I hope within a year (since it appears this new leg of the tour will be short one) Stevie will do another solo album and a quick (three months max)

Why does everyone HAVE to throw in another Stevie solo album. She NEEDS to stick to Fleetwood Mac unless they are overwith completely. And about the famlies the boys have, it's not like going on the road the famlies can all be around while the band records another album, hopefully started in the fall of this year,.

And Christopher you know you could always start NEW threads about this stuff. Just a thought.
