not much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now
these articles based on recent Lindsey tweets keep popping up so i'll put them in a separate thread since they don't really fit into social media thread.
https://bestclassicbands.com/lindsey...awsuit-1-7-19/ Lindsey Buckingham: Mac Split ‘Dishonors’ Band’s Legacy Fleetwood Mac in 2014, with Lindsey Buckingham at center Lindsey Buckingham took to Twitter on Jan. 6 to offer new opinions on his 2018 split from Fleetwood Mac. In a reply to a tweet, Buckingham didn’t pull any punches, writing “I don’t have much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now.” He added that the split “completely dishonors the beautiful… legacy we built together.” Buckingham’s tweets follow an interview that aired on Dec. 8, in which he revealed that he and Fleetwood Mac have settled the lawsuit that he filed earlier in 2018. The band’s longtime guitarist and songwriter had accused the Mac of breach of fiduciary duty and other charges. Buckingham had been abruptly dismissed from Fleetwood Mac in the spring. The lawsuit came to light in October. On Jan. 6, the Twitter account @Fryartuck asked the musician: “do you ever actually miss being in Fleetwood Mac?” Buckingham’s full two-part response: “I can’t say that I ‘miss’ being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened. So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss especially since I don’t have much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now. What I’m sad about is the split completely dishonors the beautiful 43 year legacy we built together, one that was always about rising above difficulties in order to pursue a higher truth.” Buckingham told CBS This Morning‘s Anthony Mason, in his first television interview since their split: “We’ve all signed off on something,” indicating that the agreement had been reached a few weeks’ ago. But he points the finger at Stevie Nicks. Mason asked Buckingham if he was happy with it. “I’m happy enough with it,” was the reply. “I’m not out there trying to twist the knife at all. I’m trying to look at this with some level of compassion, some level of wisdom.” When asked if he felt he “had been kicked out of the family,” the musician said: “I do.” In measured words, he added: “I don’t feel that it was something that was my doing. It hurt for a while.” Buckingham points the finger at Nicks: “It appeared to me that she was looking for something to hang on me in order to instigate some kind of a coup. Either I had to go or she was going to go. None of it makes sense to me.” He says that Christine McVie, who toured with Buckingham in 2017 as a duo after the pair released a studio album, wrote to him. It said, in part: “I had nothing to do with this. I miss you so much.” Watch a portion of the CBS This Morning interview that aired on Dec. 8 The complaint filed by the axed musician, who has finished a solo tour and released the three-CD Solo Anthology—The Best Of Lindsey Buckingham, said, “This action is necessary to enforce Buckingham’s right to share in the economic opportunities he is entitled to as a member of the partnership created to operate the business of Fleetwood Mac.” It further stated, “By excluding Buckingham from participating in the 2018-2019 Fleetwood Mac tour in breach of their fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith and fair dealing, the Defendants intentionally acted to interfere with Buckingham’s relationship with Live Nation and the prospective economic benefit he was to receive as a result of his participation in the tour.” Related: Our Oct. 13 concert review of Buckingham Buckingham’s Jan. 7 tweets about the split Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham I can’t say that I “miss” being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened. So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss... Lord Jack Pryar @Fryartuck @LBuckingham do you ever actually miss being in Fleetwood Mac? Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham · Jan 6, 2019 I can’t say that I “miss” being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened.

That tour is now underway. Related: Our recap of opening night of the Mac tour Said Fleetwood at the time, “Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents. We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it’s got the unmistakable Mac sound.” Buckingham’s lawsuit alleged, “There has never been a written agreement among Christine McVie, John McVie, Buckingham, Fleetwood and Nicks,” and, “Absent a written partnership agreement, no partner in Fleetwood Mac may be terminated from the Partnership without cause.” Buckingham claimed that the decision to oust him was made as early as January of this year. Related: Our recap of opening night of Buckingham’s tour A spokesman for Fleetwood Mac responded to the lawsuit by stating, “It’s impossible for the band to offer comment on a legal complaint they have not seen. It’s fairly standard legal procedure to service the complaint to the parties involved, something that neither Mr. Buckingham nor his legal counsel have done. Which makes one wonder what the true motivations are when servicing press first with a legal complaint before the parties in dispute.” Watch Fleetwood Mac, with Buckingham, in better times

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/linds...28933RKpVN_qWA LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM SAYS HE DOESN’T MISS FLEETWOOD MAC MARTIN KIELTY January 11, 2019 Dia Dipasupil, Getty Images Lindsey Buckingham said he didn’t miss being in Fleetwood Mac, partly because he's too busy concentrating on his solo work. He was fired last year in a move that surprised fans, apparently as a result of a disagreement with Stevie Nicks. The band created a new lineup featuring Mike Campbell and Neil Finn, and went on to launch a world tour. Buckingham turned his attention to his solo anthology and tour, and a lawsuit between the parties was later settled. “I can’t say that I ‘miss’ being in Fleetwood Mac,” Buckingham wrote in response to a fan question on Twitter, “as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened. So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss … especially since I don’t have much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now.” He added, “What I’m sad about is the split completely dishonors the beautiful 43-year legacy we built together, one that was always about rising about our difficulties in order to pursue a higher truth.” Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham I can’t say that I “miss” being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened.

Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham · Jan 6, 2019 I can’t say that I “miss” being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened.

What I'm sad about is the split completely dishonors the beautiful 43 year legacy we built together, one that was always about rising above our difficulties in order to pursue a higher truth. He confirmed that, to date, the only member he had heard from was Christine McVie. “Christine said she missed me very much, that FM wasn’t complete without me," Buckingham wrote. "[She] said she felt that Stevie was very likely regretting having given the rest of the band the ultimatum that forced my departure. Perhaps wishful thinking on Christine’s part. In any case, it was great to hear from her, and I do hope we work together again down the line.” Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham Yes, I did hear from Christine not long after we reached a settlement. (She’s the only one I’ve heard from). Christine said she missed me very much, that FM wasn’t complete without me... Brent Bohan @BohanBrent @LBuckingham With the settlement of the lawsuit, have you had any contact with Christine? Would to see a BuckVie2! Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham · Jan 10, 2019 Yes, I did hear from Christine not long after we reached a settlement. (She’s the only one I’ve heard from).

Perhaps wishful thinking on Christine’s part. In any case, it was great to hear from her, and I do hope we work together again down the line. In a warmer recollection, Buckingham recalled Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk era as a time when he stood up for his artistic beliefs. “The choice to make Tusk was a line in the sand,” he said. “It was the moment in which I chose to follow the creativity … not the money, to aspire to be an artist and risk taker rather opting to settle into a set of labels and formulas, even if it meant confounding expectations. In putting a show together in support of the album, that sensibility, that point of departure was tangible onstage as well.” Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham Looking back on the Tusk tour, I’d say that the meaning I derived from that tour was much the same as the meaning I derived from writing and recording the Tusk album. The choice to make Tusk was a line in the sand; it was the moment in which I chose to follow the creativity.. Marie Hasse @mjhasse @LBuckingham What was your favorite part of the Tusk tour?

Lindsey Buckingham ✔ @LBuckingham not the money, to aspire to be an artist & risk taker rather opting to settle into a set of labels and formulas, even if it meant confounding expectations.

Steve Jennings/Getty Images In a recent Twitter Q&A, Lindsey Buckingham admitted that he doesn’t miss being in Fleetwood Mac after being fired in 2018. He was dismissed following the result of an ultimatum sparked by former bandmate Stevie Nicks, who allegedly holds a major distaste for Buckingham. When asked if he “actually misses” being in the legendary band, the 69-year-old singer said: “I can’t say that I ‘miss’ being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened.” Following the official announcement of his departure in April, Buckingham was quick to get back to work on his solo career. He released a compilation album, Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham (2018) on Oct. 5 and launched into a full North American tour.

She even said Fleetwood Mac “wasn’t complete without” him. He expressed a desire to work with McVie down the line and wrote “it was great to hear from her.” Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie perform live at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, on July 5, 2017. Buckingham was booted from Fleetwood Mac only two days after their MusiCares performance back in January. (They were being honoured as MusiCare’s Person of the Year in New York City.) He received a call with the bad news from the band’s manager, Irving Azoff, and he allegedly said, “Stevie never wants to be on a stage with you again.” Following reported arguments, Nicks also claimed he smirked during her acceptance speech at MusiCares. Nicks reportedly gave the band an ultimatum: either he was out or she was. From that point on, Buckingham was cut out. He tried to reach out to his bandmates via calls and email but says he received no answers. Lindsey Buckingham performing on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on Oct. 1, 2018. Buckingham was replaced by Tom Petty’s Heartbreaker, Mike Campbell, and Neil Finn of Crowded House. They will share guitar duties, while Finn now acts as the replacement co-vocalist to sing alongside Nicks. Following his dismissal from the band, Buckingham filed a lawsuit against former bandmates, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, John McVie and Christine McVie. The suit was specifically filed for “breach of oral contract, breach of fiduciary duty and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.” He claimed that he was still interested in touring with the band, otherwise he wanted his share of the tour revenues — which was estimated by Live Nation to be more than US$12 million per band member. After an interview on CBS’ This Morning back in December, Buckingham revealed that the suit was resolved. He admitted he was “happy enough” with the settlement and that he wasn’t “out there trying to twist the knife.” “I’m trying to look at this with some level of compassion, some level of wisdom,” he added.

http://abcnewsradioonline.com/music-...#entry36147408 Lindsey Buckingham says Christine McVie told him Fleetwood Mac "wasn't complete without" him Credit: John Russo Lindsey Buckingham revealed in a recent Twitter Q&A with fans that he's only had contact with one member of Fleetwood Mac since being fired from the band last year: singer/keyboardist Christine McVie, with whom he released a collaborative album in 2017. Buckingham said that he heard from McVie shortly after he and Fleetwood Mac reached a settlement in the lawsuit he brought against the group over his dismissal. "Christine said she missed me very much, that [Fleetwood Mac] wasn't complete without me," he revealed, "and said she felt that Stevie [Nicks] was very likely regretting having given the rest of the band the ultimatum that forced my departure." "Perhaps [that was] wishful thinking on Christine's part," he continued, adding, "In any case, it was great to hear from her, and I do hope we work together again down the line." Lindsey also responded to a question about whether he missed being in Fleetwood Mac. "I can't say that I 'miss' being in Fleetwood Mac, as I've been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened," he noted. "So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss." Buckingham recently finished a U.S. tour in support of his 2018 compilation Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham, and he has plans to hit the road again this year, in addition to releasing a new studio album. Fleetwood Mac, whose lineup now features Mike Campbell and Neil Finn, begins the second leg of their North American tour on January 31 in Denver. Copyright © 2019, ABC Radio. All rights reserved.

completely misleading clickbait title of course, but i guess to be expected -
https://kbgo.iheart.com/featured/big...yid=socialflow BIG 95 MORNING SHOW Lindsey Buckingham says he doesn't miss Fleetwood Mac posted by DeWayne & Tamme - Jan 12, 2019 Close to a year after being booted from Fleetwood Mac, singer and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham says he's not missing his former bandmates. Lindsey recently tweeted: "I can’t say that I “miss” being in Fleetwood Mac, as I’ve been concentrating on fulfilling my own plans that were already in the works before the split happened. So, in a sense, the situation is still too new to miss...especially since I don’t have much regard for the way the band is presenting itself now. What I'm sad about is the split completely dishonors the beautiful 43 year legacy we built together, one that was always about rising above our difficulties in order to pursue a higher truth." Fleetwood Mac, who resume their world tour at the end of the month, replaced Buckingham with Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, and Neil Finn from Crowded House. Buckingham plans to hit the road again this year.
