Stevie In 1995 On Why She Quit And The Futility Of Trying To Replace Rumours Lineup
4:44-mark here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=6vEMZmX3MKU Narrator: "For her, the Rumours lineup of the band had been its high point." Stevie: "It’s just not replaceable, you know? Mick can go on forever and ever trying to replace it, but he can’t. It never will happen – ever. So I just didn’t want to go through the grief of trying to create something out of something that had already been – and had already been about as big as you can get." |

Now she's not mad at him, she's mad at Lindsey. So she's onboard with Mick again. Very manipulative. |

"So today she says 'well I've changed my mind'... that's a woman's right, they say..."

I think Stevie would say that they’re not trying to replace the Rumours lineup this time out.
|
the word is 'hysteria'

And WHO was the musical genius that MADE it what it was? Oh yeah, the guy the hag fired. Best you can hope for is Behind The Mask, II. Enjoy your Second Time around lamesville. |

Billy Burnette was only notable for being the son of Dorsey Burnette, nephew of Johnny Burnette, cousin of Rocky Burnette, and friend/associate of Fleetwood Mac, while Rick was just a sideman and session player. They were very clearly trying to mask that Lindsey wasn’t there (no pun intended). They basically dressed Billy up like Lindsey and had him play a white Les Paul. Look at these two pics from 1987. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r9k24kU6ad...ricknbilly.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I23kiv4f0_s/hqdefault.jpg Quote:
That said, I would have been happier to see SHN and MM get cut before Hypnotized and I Got You. |

If they really wanted to start fresh and show the world that Fleetwood Mac is more than the Lindsey Buckingham show, half the set should have been different at least, and they should have recorded something new together that they'd do live. There are MANY gems that are totally ignored even from the 75-87 timeframe. But they won't do that. They'll continue to pump out the same songs and get reviews saying that Finn "sounds like Buckingham" because it works - the general attendee is like "OMG STEVIE TWIRLED AROUND! I LOVE HERRRRRR SHE'S THE QUEEEEN" and doesn't care that a different male voice is singing Go Your Own Way. |

If the band wants the big money, it needs to do this. I would never blame the band for doing this, but I certainly won't pretend that something else is happening musically. |

When the band announced this tour with Neil and Mike I pretty much guessed 90 per cent of what the setlist would be (which is pretty much the same as it's always been) including two Neil Finn tracks, although it's very telling they have already dropped one of those. (Is anyone really going to this tour thinking I really hope I hear Neil Finn sing Monday Morning and Second Hand News!!?)
I was a little more impressed with the setlist for the first few shows than I thought I would be but they've already dropped three of the most interesting songs. All the promises Mick and Stevie made about delving deep into their back catalogue is really just three additions (I'm not including Oh Well because that is a well worn live tune), Black Magic Woman, Tell Me All The Things You Do and All Over Again. Given Lindsey's songs were a big part of the set I do find that hugely disappointing. Imagine what they could do if they dropped Mick's drum solo in World Turning. Does anyone actually enjoy it? Given Mick's importance in Fleetwood Mac it's funny that, for me, he's the one member of the band I really don't care if he's there or not and that solo is just a huge ego-thing for him because it adds nothing at all to the show other than a bathroom break for the audience. |

I never said that it didn’t end or that Billy came into his own, but he was minor enough that they could do that with him. Quote:

Sometimes, swapping out a few spices here or there can be enough of a change to warrant that change. |

I said this elsewhere, drop the drum solo and let John play the bass solo in The Chain for five minutes straight and I’d find that 1000% preferable. |

that big puff ball hairdo was THE.WORST.EVER. |

Yep, they gray jacket was pure coincidence. :rolleyes: Nevermind the fact Billy’s jacket seems like it’s too big, but they were clearly trying to mimic Lindsey’s look in a way Finn and Campbell couldn’t and wouldn’t need to. |

And 'too big' was the thing in the 80s. Very Miami Vice. |
