Proper Final Album...
 

Imagine Fleetwood Mac broke up in 1997 after 'The Dance'.

'Say You Will' and 'EP' never happened.

Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine still release all of the solo albums they have released over the years, but each saves back a few songs for a proper final album.

Twenty years later, in 2017, the band reunites to celebrate 50 years of the band, 40 years since 'Rumours', 30 years since 'Tango In The Night', and 20 years since 'The Dance'.

They co-write, each sings on every song; 3-part harmonies, lead, backup, solo parts. All of the piano parts you hear are Christine.

I still believe it's possible for our Fireflies to come together one last time to honor their music, their fans, and their legacy as one of the greatest bands of all time; a true, final concept album like 'Long Road Out Of Eden' from the Eagles.

Feel free to re-edit as you please, or copy my playlist for your device and enjoy.

After seeing this I think I'm happy things happened the way they did and hope for a another release from the 5.

Nah I am happy with Say You Will even if its without Christine. We were lucky to get In The Meantime and other member's solo stuff. I would not change history.

I'm just as annoyed w Stevie as most for not contributing to this project, but I love my five fireflies together & I love making fantasy playlists- I must say, this runs pretty smooth, ignoring the differences in production from the various sources:

Sad Angel
Friend
Thrown Down

Red Sun

Say You Will
Lay Down For Free
Destiny Rules
Lay Down For Free
On With The Show

Only a few years ago, all 18 members in the history of the band were alive. My dream final album (as it was looking like no real BuckNix album would ever happen again) was for Mick to record one song written/sung by each of the members of the Mac and collect it on one album.

That would have been a proper goodbye.

As any FM fan I'd love to, but it won't happen. Stevie doesn't want to work with Lindsey anymore, even if they offer her to add more producers. :distress:

It's unfair but it is what it is.

She will for the money on tour, however.

Well that sounds like the definition of a wh***.

She won't lay down for free. :p

Mama's got bills to pay, and they ain't gonna pay themselves!

rhymes with tour? :laugh:

I was thinking whack. Because that's a whacky notion. :wavey::lol:

After BuckVie this is for sure gonna be an interesting tour. :rolleyes:

You guys behave yourselves!!! :mad::mad:

They are all money hungry. Don't kid yourselves. But, at least 2 writers still want to invest in their creativity. I hope there is another BuckVie album. I think it will only get better. There isn't much time, though. :blob2::blob1:

I don't think money is involved in Stevie's decision. She doesn't want to work with Lindsey anymore. Sure, a tour is fine. But not an album.

It's nice to have another BuckVie album, and I hope it happens, but I'd very much prefer a last FM album with the 5 of them. :woohoo:

[QUOTE=jbrownsjr;1212232]You guys behave yourselves!!! :mad::mad:

Really? That's all the moderation that's going to happen here? You realize that this is why people leave the forum all the time, right?

Lets not kid ourselves. Christine is approaching 74 and though she's getting by just fine, lets just say she's showing her age There'll be no FM album before the tour, obviously, and the likelihood is a FM tour will stretch well into 2019. That means another album wouldn't materialize until Chris is around 76 or 77. There wont even be another Buckingham McVie album. Lindsey will do a FM tour and then solo....forever.
The best we can hope from Christine (and I really hope this happens) is she'll record a blues album with Mick, Rick and A. N. Other later this year and they tour it early 2018, parallel to LB solo tour & SN solo tour.

She'd still be a waitress if it weren't for FM. The least she could have done was contribute 2-3 songs. But she doesn't owe them anything, right?

At this point, I'd RATHER have another BuckVie album. I'm loving this one! :]

[QUOTE=MakerofBirds;1212234]

People come and go all the time.

Secondly, they were joking. People call Mick and Stevie money whores all the time. My stance on this is: Nobody is going to turn down that kind of money. That's not said only here at The LEdge, but on FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

I'm not going to censor it unless there is a clear intent to harm. Money is always going to be a topic of discussion when it comes to Fleetwood Mac.

If you want to police the board, ask to be a MOD.

Exactly. Time is running out. This Fleetwood Mac album is most likely going to be the last group effort we get from them. :mad:

Stevie's failure to participate in a final album cemented her status as a incredibly sad, pathetic, tragic figure. It's an enormous shame. She's essentially the Norma Desmond of rock...a once-spectacular artist who willfully foregoes her own dignity for the sake of a thoroughly worthless ego. But Norma Desmond would have at least participated in a final album. As great as Buckingham McVie is, any honest fan must admit those songs would have been completely out of this world with all three voices singing them.

But it's much more important for Stevie to stare at a mirror in her big house, singing "Cheaper Than Free" to herself, profoundly and wretchedly alone.

I wanted her so badly on this album. I hope they change her mind and do one more.

I love you! :xoxo:

Like Lindsey said last time he told the "package deal" story: "Stupid me, eh?" Finally, Lindsey, you realized how stupid you were! :laugh: A bit late though. :shrug:

This whole Fleetwood Mac in everything but name and Stevie project is frustrating in one way because it denies 'the brand' another classic album in their cannon. It's a major part of the family tree but I still doubt Stevie's writing is up to this caliber at the moment. I'd like her to prove me wrong:o

42+ years! Colossal mistake!

Agreed. What made me love BuckVie was FM. If it weren't for FM we wouldn't have BuckVie today. I love them all, and it's sad to see something that once was so spectacular, being torn apart by one member. I'm sure the other 4 must feel the same (especially Lindsey) but can't of course say it.

I hope she doesn't regret it.

Actually, it seems to be a factor. She recently has complained that records don't sell and that why wouldn't they want to go out on the road and "make a ton of money". Seems like she's stuck in the past and still expects her records to sell millions of copies like they did back in the day.

Okay, good to know!

In that case, Lindsey & Christine really should learn how to whore from Stevie because ticket sales at most of the venues are pretty sad.

Then why are you going to one of their shows if sales are so sad?

I think Lindsey is a bigger factor than money because she's also stuck in the past not only when it comes to record sales.

But I agree that money is important to her. More than creativity. Same with her fans. Which is understandable. You can't love someone if you don't agree with them.

Point taken. Because, had they been marketing themselves the same way (all this time) as she has, they might just sell better. I agree.

Exactly!

I've heard the Stevie forum is chock full of number crunchers. Glad I don't go there!

Because I love their music? Should there be any other reason? I'd like to know since I've been handing them my money for 40 years now.

When you say "them", you're also talking about Stevie, right?

If you love their music, then sad sales shouldn't be a problem to you. Just go and enjoy their show. It won't be as packed as Stevie's shows but what matters (at least to me) is the quality of the show.

Numbers ARE scary and there definitely were some sales numbers over on the Stevie forum during her latest tour. Maybe a pie chart would be better for you? Pie isn't scary.

Mmmm ... pie.

Yes, I'm talking about all of them, including Stevie. I want Lindsey and Christine to do well. If they lose money or make very little on the tour, they may not do something like this again. I'd love for them to do something like this again. I have no doubt that I'll enjoy the show no matter how many tickets have sold.

Good! We don't know what they're planning to do, regardless of venues sales. They could end up doing another album with another smaller tour. They have all been in this business for a long time. I don't think they should learn anything from anybody.

I only care about the numbers for their ego's sake.

For myself, I'd be fine being the only person in the audience.

Idk why Stevie fans are always obsessed with numbers...

I would definitely be into that!
