One thing you Love and Hate about the 3 Writers. (Rumours era)
Christine (Love): She can write literally anything: pop, jazz, rock, because she understands music.
Christine (Hate): She holds back experimenting and soloing. And the thing is she's great at both yet chooses to be passive. Stevie (Love): She gave her life to her passion of art and music. And, her fans love & adore her. Stevie (Hate): She bellows too much instead of finessing vocally. Lindsey (Love): Has an amazing vision and leads this band. Lindsey (Hate): Barks and he haws like he's got ants in the pants.

It's so weird Michele, I used to love it. Maybe this tour will organically reconvene me with the ants in the pants routine.

I mean, he doesn't salvage Family Man, that's for sure and he almost ruins other songs playing around vocally (Down Endless Street), but with other songs, I think his screams and hiccups convey meaning that's not being articulated, as with Time Bomb Town. I get the sense that time is running out and an explosion is imminent, as the title implies, from his manic delivery, more than from the words. Michele |

I like that Stevie is so emotional and passionate about the meaning of her songs, but I hate that she can be sloppy especially with repetitive lyrics and half-arsed vocals rather than honing them more carefully.
I like that Lindsey is NOT sloppy and hones his work so carefully but hate that he can do so to the point of sterilizing the emotions right out of it (better now than before though). She can be too emotional and he can be too intellectual/analytical. Chris, I love how she weaves music and lyrics but I sorta hate how her songs are often a woman at the mercy of some not-so-trustworthy man. I'd love to hear a real "don't let the door hit you on the way out" song from her. |

In general, I wish the band took more musical risks. I was watching the band's 1974 performance of Black Magic Woman (Don Kurshner's thingy) and was amazed at how complex some of the moments were there, how both Welch and Fleetwood were pushing the band to improvise and explore. Some incredible rhythmic shifts in the song, too. While I love the Rumours-era lineup, I think it's clear they try to keep their live shows as simple and as loud and attractive as possible to as many people possible. There isn't a great sense of musical exploration--at least anymore. Maybe with the new album and next year's tour? |

In general, I wish all three of them in any combination would have wrote more together.
The audio tapes of them putting together the intro to The Chain...how they all shared the creative process kinda sounded like a lot of improvising that brought that song together. Kinda all threw something in trying to help Lindsey with the song he was stuck on. Maybe, that was lost along with their personal relationships. They all went to their separate worlds and got locked into a predictable niche: Christine - Bluesy/Pop piano driven love songs Stevie- Mystical soft rock twirling/tambo driven love songs Lindsey- Edgey love/hate guitar driven love songs So, I both love and hate that all three of them did and didn't write more with each other. I think some awesome songs could have been created if they had explored writing with each other. Maybe, just maybe it could still happen. |

I love all 3.I'm so happy that Chris is back with them.My only gripe is with the band is why it takes for ages to record an album.
Other bands record an album in a flash. Stevie already showed that she can do a album in a flash.I understand that is only one person.

Christine
I love her voice and personality. She is a necessary rock. I dislike her time away, and Do You Know. Lindsey I love his enthusiasm and incomparable playing skill. I dislike his obsession with solo work. Stevie I love her uniqueness and never-ending desire to stay relevant. I dislike her obsession with solo work as well, and that she continues not to take care of her diminishing voice. |
