Show a little respect for Christine
Apparently Lindsey not being in the band is a travesty.
Well can anyone remind me, was there an uproar when they had the gall to tour without Christine? Some people even said they should have replaced her with Sheryl Crow! And yet replacing Lindsey is supposedly unforgiveable! Give me a break! |

I also would say “replacing” him is not unforgivable, they’ve done it before. They also replaced Stevie. What’s unforgivable, for me as a fan, is LYING about why he was replaced. Band made a decision, own it! Last edited by Storms123; 01-25-2019 at 09:29 AM.. |

There is NO comparison in what happened. Christine retired. Lindsey was fired. How in the hell can you not see the difference???

I agree. But they'll do or say anything to stand up for Old Goat Breath. "That MEAN MAN had to go!!!!!"

I thought I would get better with this situation as time ticked on. But honestly, what $tevie did is truly ugly and disgusts me more and more as I think about it. It's not so much the rallying of Mick and Irving that she and her crew accomplished; it's the silent treatment and the inhumane path it went down.
I still try to put myself in Lindsey's shoes. Getting the call and realizing they fired him without an explanation. a face to face conversation. or even a phone call. I can imagine him trying to sleep at night knowing he had been iced and ghosted by the very same people he has known for 40 years. I'm also willing to bet he and his wife had many sleepless nights. (His whole family most likely) Why would you put someone through that and then go on national tv and say, "It's because he didn't want to tour." Did $he have so much hate in her heart? Imagine doing that to someone, then lying about it to the world. We don't want to use the word fired? That actually makes sense because they didn't have the guts to fire him. They just moved on without contact. And this giant revenge was done to the man that was a MAJOR player in $tevie's fruitful career. That's a bit ironic, no? The more I try to get my head around this, the harder it is. I always knew she was a superficial, and entitled human being; but, I did not realize just how low she could sink. As for Christine McVie. She had nothing to do with this, and I can't reasonably expect someone to take millions of dollars off the table and get involved in the Nicks' **** show. I'm pretty sure she quit the band for a week or two,(however, I haven't been able to verify it.) I don't even think even Lindsey would expect Christine to give up what she came back for. Christine came back from retirement to re-join Fleetwood Mac. Final note: I don't think Christine sent that email to LB on accident. She was sending a message to him and the fans. I pray we get another BuckVie album. It's certainly possible. That email had to have sent shock waves thru the band......... errrrrrrrrrrrrr Stevie's crew.

Yes, a firing is a difference in kind from a resignation.
But beyond that, with all due respect to her I do not consider Christine indispensable in the way I do Stevie, Lindsey, and even Mick (due to the uniqueness of his drumming). The group works as Fleetwood Mac without Christine. It does not work without Stevie and Lindsey both, as their value stems in large measure from one another (a "package deal" as it were). This is not to say Christine is not valuable, just not essential. As was said elsewhere, 1997 was a reset. Last edited by cbBen; 01-25-2019 at 11:54 AM.. |

Okay, so you’re saying that if a few members of a band find themselves at personal or creative odds with another member of the band, they aren’t allowed to fire that member and have to suffer for the rest of their time together?

there are no "few members" here. just one. who has been in creative odds with the band for 15 years now, and at personal odds with her ex for 40+ years. so yeah she should have been fired. instead they continue to suffer, from what we hear even worse now without Lindsey to take the brunt of it.

I am a huge fan of a quorum--but in this case, I think it's been well established, it wasn't a few members, or a quorum, it was one, and the rest somehow were castrated (or in Christine's case...blindsided) on their way into the meetings.

Lindsey didn't choose to leave. He was forced out and all of the plans were made behind is back; which turned into an enormous public embarrassment for him.
Whatever he did, it didn't warrant such horrible behavior by the rest of the band. Chris left the band by choice for personal reasons. |
