A New Fans Random Thoughts, Good And Bad
Ok All
I am a new FM / LB Fan and I have finally finshed almost 1 year of reading, listening, and watching. And Im gonna post my thoughts, and I know some you might agree with and dis agree with, but heres what I think What I think: - I cant believe that The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac has actually sold more copies than Say You Will And Even The Live In Boston DVD. Makes me wonder if there were really people who actually wanted and or want New Things from Fleetwood Mac - Lindsey getting so much positive attention , both from concert people and the record company, from his Under The Skin album and tour I think caught me really surprised. I was shocked that Warners would back him. Makes me so mad they they didn’t support him back in the day - - I think Lindsey actually respects and is proud of FM more so now than ever. Does make me scratch my head that when they were in their hey day, how he could not have respected them and the band at that point ? I mean, I love Lindsey, but the man should know that if it wasn’t for that band, he would not be living where lives today, and he would not enjoy the riches that he has. As much as I love the mans music, it is the FM stuff that has enjoyed him his life style. I think Lindsey might have been trying to bite the hand that feeds back in the day - - Stevie’s solo stuff is just plain ordinary, I never have understood the fascination with it, I mean if you take away BELLA DONNA, what is left ? I mean, I still don’t get how Behind The Music said she has sold 50 million albums, I don’t know what math they are using - - I think Tusk is a brilliant album - - I think Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles are the 2 greatest rock bands of all time. Even though I think FM actually loves one another NOW , where as Eagles strike me as strictly co workers in a music machine, I just don’t feel the closeness from them at all - Don Henley is 100 % more arrogant than Lindsey at his worst, and I think Lindsey had his arrogant days |

I agree on these. But one has to see that when LB was IN the situation of the rollercoaster the Mac was, he needed to polarize the situation because he felt that they should put the music in front-not the success. I think that's why he stood like a rock behind his artistic ethics, and overcried that to keep the rest of the band sharp. He also said that the success was a double edged sword. That's not single edged, but he stood for the side that the rest of the band tended to forget (in his perception). He still plays his big hits. He knows that the band brought him more than he could dream of. But on the other hand it had been a nightmare too. I love Bella Donna too . Tusk? The best album ever recorded by anyone.

Welcome to Buckingham Land! I agree with most of what you say. I still have a fond spot for a couple of other Stevie solo albums so I won't agree on that one statement. Glad you have had fun exploring the man and the band. I have been on this incredible journey since 1982 and loving every minute of it.

agreed. still, I can't say she made enough Stevie-quality-solo-albums to really be a fan of her solocareer. I like the first three and her last(TIS). I love the first.
