Just a reminder, Lindsey did several interviews where he said the album was never meant to be a FM album... including one amusing interview where his agent or handler actually intervened when the interviewer pressed the point. But you say Mick made the choice to not call it a FM album. Guess Lindsey was lying, then?

Not that it matters to me what the reason was, but it is confusing when Lindsey made it very clear it was never meant to be a FM album.

Lindsey like everyone else played the game. Do you really think Lindsey, Christine, Mick and John did not want to record a Fleetwood Mac album? Of course they did. However when Stevie was not joining them Lindsey and Christine were having so much fun they still moved forward with the project. They were not going to rub Stevie's face in the project. It also sounds a lot better than "We sat around and waited for Stevie but Stevie does not like us so we did the album anyway." Of course it sounds better to say. "Oh yes, this was our intention the entire time. We just wanted to put out this duo album from the start.
I doubt anyone seriously believes that. Its just as bad what Stevie said that she did not go to the studio because albums don't sell. Both Lindsey and Stevie are liars about this recording.

I was just giving a “jokey” reply to Homer as to the reason why it wasn’t FM.
I don’t have an opinion in reality, just a light hearted aim at Mick....
I actually think it deserved to be BM in its own right it stands up.

Sorry about my confusion, sue. With message boards and texting, sometimes it can be hard to tell when people are joking around. Thanks for setting me straight :thumbsup:

They should have called it Fleetwood Mac, explained the Stevie didn’t participate in the project due to solo commitments, but is still a member of the band and will be participating in the band’s 2018 tour. It wouldn’t have been a lie and wouldn’t have put Stevie on the spot. It wouldn’t even be the first time the band made an album that didn’t feature an active member (Then Play On).

And WHY didn't it have the FM name?

Lindsey isn't in the group now, and it's still FM.

So Lindsey, Chris, John, and Dick do a record, and THAT'S not FM???!

You are forgetting the fact that they didn’t have the Fleetwood Mac name.

The BuckVie shows I attended were far from tame. Especially, the sold out Greek Show. That was a show I'll never forget.

Excuse me for apparently being illiterate! I had no idea! Fine, you hate her MORE than Hitler. I still find it disgusting that you would rank her higher on your hate list than someone who literally caused the DEATHS of millions of people. Even if you were joking. The Holocaust was a real thing that affected the lives of so many people, and still affects many today. Whatever Stevie did cannot be worse than that.

I don't see the point of arguing with you anymore. It's clear that only a select few on this board are allowed to continually express their opinions without repercussions. I can normally ignore things said on here, but this took things too far, and I couldn't stay silent.

Agreed. Stevie HATED more than Hitler.....? What kind of person even puts them in the same sentence and thinks that is comical? Definitely someone lacking majorly in some department.
