Yeah. They had two choices, the difference between the choices was at least $6 million, for doing the exact same core songs. If you’re Mick and John, isn’t it really just one eccentricity vs. another and, all things being equal, you’d rather have more to show for the exact same amount of effort?

Anyone trying to carry the "The Mac always changes lineups" tune into the third decade of the 21st century is either pushing a narrative or is detached from reality.

Or is a fan of the overall body of work. Lindsey didn’t make significantly more albums with Fleetwood Mac than Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, or Bob Welch.

They aren't a band anymore.

Which was true as early as 1981.

They're a touring act. There is no "band"...they have recorded nothing together, have done nothing creative, other than ride off the coattails of the band's previous work.

Yep. Mick, John, Christine, and Stevie have recorded nothing together.

Say what you want about Burnette and Vito, but at least they fairly quickly recorded music and a full length album within a couple years. This version of the band will be forgotten by history.

It was a different time. They were coming off their second most successful album in 1990. The current version of Fleetwood Mac could have easily made a good album prior to the tour, just like in 2014.
