I hope this does well so Stevie can feel like a damn idiot. All that "Albums don't sell anymore" and whatever garbage her management is feeding her. Selfish tw*t.

Christine just wants to create and perform. I sense her happiness. Lindsey looks and sounds really happy, too. He doesn't care about sales.. he just wants to use his gift.

Nobody here knows what words Stevie and Lindsey might have had between them during the last tour. They haven't gotten along for years and perhaps she has reached the point where she no longer cares to record with him. It's their business. Instead of being happy new music is coming, certain people on this board STILL have to resort to name calling and put downs. Outside of Fleetwood Mac, I haven't heard of people that work with Stevie having horrible things to say about her. Are you still pissed at Lindsey for bailing out on the TITN tour? Things happen. Be happy you are getting new music. They aren't going to call the new album Fleetwood Mac because the contract for all 5 is signed for an upcoming arena tour. Plain and simple. The Ledge is a great board, but also has a LOT of mean spirited hatefulness going at times. I don't understand it. :shrug:
I doubt Stevie cares that they are putting out music without her as she chose not to be a part of it. So, be happy you are getting the new album:xoxo: |
As an enormous fan of this band and of each member (especially Stevie - I am not gonna pretend she's not my favorite) - I am incredibly happy to see this come to fruition. With all of the back and forth that has went on with this - I am happy to see the name Buckingham McVie and that all four are involved.
Would I have preferred all 5 - ABSOLUTELY - but, Stevie practically dared them to release this without her and they are. She apparently doesnt want to work with Lindsey and at this point in the game, she has earned the right to say no, despite what the rest of the band and the fans want. As for what Stevie's response will be - I imagine she will ignore it completely as this has been one of her biggest complaints with FM as a whole is that they have ignored her solo projects. |
I am disappointed as an ancient fan that the final nail in the coffin for one more album from the Rumours five is being hammered in. I do look forward to hearing this album. Christine without Lindsey is a solid pop songwriter and talented musician but with him she has reached the sublime. It is no coincidence that her 12 year run of extraordinary hit singles began with his entrance and ended with his departure from Fleetwood Mac.

I get that there was probably a lot of pressure on Stevie to do the pending tour, and especially the album. My problem is that she didn't walk away from the band if she wasn't ready to be a member in full before committing to anything. She accepted no less from Christine when Christine wanted to record, but not tour, and while I hated that it had come to that, I agreed with it and felt it was the right call. |

the only problem with that is that if we can learn from history, i don't see Nicks agreeing to it, unless something drastic happens to change her mind. Quote:

he is quite distraught over Stevie not being involved in this project. Also saying "she is one hot lady". Personally I'm really looking forward to the new music. It'll be a new experience for us all. And that might be a good thing. |

As a huge Stevie fan, I thought I would post my opinion on this recent news. While I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac as a whole, Stevie is my favorite singer of all time and the only Mac member whose solo career I truly follow. I'll admit I have never heard any of Lindsey's solo beyond his hits, but I do own and love Christine's 1984 album. That being said I am happy for Chris and Lindsey. I see a lot of other Stevie fans on social media that seem to think that this announcement is hurtful to Stevie. While I can see how the name thing is a little too similar to Buckingham Nicks, I'm not sure what else they would call it if they aren't calling it Fleetwood Mac. I guess many people see it as a jab at Stevie for her going on her solo tour. Had Stevie mentioned in interviews that she would contribute to the album after her solo outing, then I could see this as something against her. Although we don't know what was said behind closed doors between the band, Stevie's interviews seem to suggest that she prefers touring only with Fleetwood Mac. Sure, I would have loved to have another album with all 5 but I think this solution works for everyone. Christine and Lindsey are both so talented and I think it's great they have new music to share. I've also enjoyed Stevie's tour immensely and hope that she'll release a 24 Karat Gold Part 2 if this pushes the Mac world tour back to 2018. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!
