However, band politics don’t necessarily equate with “the machine.” They could have addressed Stevie’s lack of participation honestly, yet tactfully.

As for going against the machine, what I want to know is what came first: Was he dropped by Azoff and then fired, or the other way around? Because if it’s the former, THAT’S why you never talk down a show.

You know you might be into something re LB statement about the Classic cash grabs. It may have under the surface - hey FM actually have a full New album and we are forced to tour it as half of the band right now while we could have been that rare band at the Classic who is still prolific and performs new music that is just as great as our classics! And maybe that’s where that LA review of classic West was going to - why can’t we hear the new music from the Mac when we know it exists?
