New Mick interview for Rolling Stone

Danielle · #1 08-03-2016, 11:32 AM

As far as Fleetwood Mac is concerned, you guys wrapped up a world tour – your first in more than a decade with Christine McVie back in the fold – a little less than a year ago. What does the future hold for the band?
Well, we're all dedicated to getting together about a year or so from now and going and doing another two years of touring all over the world, probably. And we also have a huge amount of recorded music. A huge amount. None of it's with Stevie. Or very little. Some of it is very, very old stuff that Lindsey maybe did with her years and years ago. We're not quite sure what will happen with it. But you know, doing this band is a huge investment. We're only off the road for less than a year, and when you add in the time it takes to put a tour together, do rehearsals, get it up and running, the whole thing, it's three years that you don't do anything else. And Stevie has her own life and career and I think … you know, she just doesn't want to spend the time right now. And we're quietly saddened about that but also I sort of understand.

Do you think there will be a new record?
I really don't know. The hope was that there was going to be. I do know that when Christine came back, she came back with a bag full of goods. She ****ing wrote up a storm. She and Lindsey could probably have a mighty strong duet album if they want. In truth I hope it will come to more than that.

So nothing's planned ... but it could happen.
There's always a "could happen" [laughs]. But one thing that's for sure — there really are dozens of songs. And they're really good. And so you think, "****, I don't want it to be that, decades later, when we're all pushing up daisies, someone hears this stuff and goes, 'Well, that should have come out!'" So we'll see.

And there we have it...

The blame, right where we were laying it all along.

They ought to kick her to the curb!!!!

I said that a long time ago

Will the stalling ever stop?

Just do a duet between Lindsey and Christine. Their music is more compelling, anyway. They have much more of a muse with each other. Plus, their relationship isn't fake. So I expect the music would be more authentic.

I guess we should just be grateful for reissues of old albums

I'm stupidly hoping for a reissue of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.....

I've said it before, etc etc.
Stevie isn't capable of writing new songs, she's not a musician as such, so its all intuitive with her.
Lindsey should take some of this really old stuff of hers, and meld it into worthwhile songs.
Then they might have an Album, who knows.....

I think this is spot on. She's not a composer. She can barely play the piano.
She will always need help writing. I think there is a sense of jealousy when it comes to LB and CM being able to collaborate and crank out songs by themselves. Stevie always has had people around her to give her direction. And she's done quite well with it. Time to buck up and put out.

"None of it's with Stevie.....or very little". What are you saying Mick???

Also, what is Stevie doing then? We are in the 8th month of 2016 and there's no mention of a solo album either.

Good. There will be another tour. It should be their last tour though. They don't need to still be up there when they're pushing 80.

AlexD · #12 08-03-2016, 03:49 PM

Gosh I'm beginning to understand why Lindsey strangled Stevie now!!!

hopingtofly · #13 08-03-2016, 03:58 PM

Seriously though.

really as a duo they never would have lasted ...

but when was this interview done ? maybe something changed since then ,

but at this point I know i am not wasting a dime on the next tour if they have nothing new or she is in the band and has no new ( new ..not previously done and dropped or never performed ) songs and Lindsey and Christine do

I don't think it says when the interview was done, but I believe it was in rolling stone today so it must've been fairly recently.
