Behind the mask cover
 

I know this has been discussed, about if you like it or not, but can't remember if someone found this website. It's the photographer's site. He said (just like someone mentioned) The band didn't want to appear in the cover picture, so Mick Fleetwood suggested that I create a sort of spiritual proxy band.

Weird ... I've never actually looked closely at the BTM cover (I don't own it), and I never realized that wasn't FM. :lol:

You don't own Behind the Mask :shocked:

Ohhhhhhhh I know. I've been listening to it a lot lately, tho. Somebody sent me the mp3's.

Gee wonder why it didnt sell well, and Tusk too! How fing dumb could they be!

Wow, that's an intelligent, rational and thoughtfully constructed contribution to the thread... :rolleyes:

Well, possibly ... but in Tusk's case, remember that the record sleeves had pics of shapely naked women all over them, intertwined with gigantic phallic images of ivory (thanks to Peter Beard).

ACtually I like the cover, more than Tusk indeed. Tango in the night cover is another one I don't think is big deal. But most of the songs within all those albums are great.

Oh I really like the TITN cover. I have a poster of it :). I also love the BTM cover but don't really know what it's meant to be..

My thoughts exactly :laugh:

I actually like the BTM cover - always wondered what it meant though....

Yeah I really think because of Rick and Billy, Mick didn't want the new guys on the cover. Hate to beat a dead horse but what if LB came back and we already had them on the cover of the album.!!!! gasp!!!

With them or not in the cover.. BTM is treated like a forgotten album.. that's unfair I think.
I mean, the current lineup could sing Affairs of the heart for example. If they play Don't stop, why not AOTH??

Surely you don't think that's a fair comparison.
DS was a big hit, has been played on the radio for 30 years!!!, and was used in a presidential campaign(the playing of which sort of resulted in FM getting back together).
Affairs of the what?:laugh: :wavey:

Ok ok, you got a point. It's not a matter of comparing songs, I just mentioned as an example of ... Hey they still sing a Christine's song when she is not in the band anymore, but never played a song from the post-rumours/non Lindsey era.

It would be interesting to hear live songs from BTM, right now Stevie's songs cause Christine is not anymore, but if she were, I would still love to hear Skies the limit or Do you know (this time duet with Lindsey)

Buckingham/Nicks is pretty much going to ALWAYS play the biggest hits.
This ain't about art. It's about filling seats, which has a direct correlation to their bank accounts. And they've convinced themselves that this is how to do it, by playing it safe.
Sure, WE'D like more obscure stuff. I'm not sure we could fill an arena, even once.
