Any rock band is going to have to have a guitar (or more). There is no way Fleetwood Mac as a 4-piece would be Mick-John-Stevie-Chris and some session guitarist. It's different with a band like The Eagles who never really replaced Don Felder as far as another full member (Steuart Smith plays the role but is a 'hired hand') because they also have Joe Walsh.
As stupid as what they have done to the band is, it would be even more ridiculous if they just went with the four of them and someone like Waddy.
