The “New Album” thread

[cbBen]

I don't think it's a mountain; I agree it's a mole hill (see my posts earlier in this thread). I'm just saying that Fleetwood Mac's lawyers won't portray it that way, but use it to undermine his credibility about alleged oral agreements.

his credibility lies on way more than his words. and testimony under oath is way different than doing a promotion for new album (best album ever! is thrown around every time somebody releases one - do you REALLY think they mean it? lol!).

and if they are going by just words, then Mick and Stevie's credibility would be in the toilet.

Yes, but he claims in his lawsuit that it was initially meant to be a Fleetwood Mac album; so this particular lie is material to his legal case.

which we know is true.

so he and Chris were asked by FM to cover for Stevie in promotion for BuckVie and they did. before that promotion, and now where it matters, Lindsey is telling the truth.

so i don't really get what your problem is? but i'm not a lawyer and we have many here who can chime in.

also, not really sure why is this discussion going on in "new album" thread. i didn't think new album being discussed is Buckingham McVie.

It's just as likely to be used to show his loyalty and commitment to Fleetwood Mac...his willingness to do whatever it takes not to jeopardize the long-term future of the band.

Agree with you. Thia is of course exactly what he was doing - bending over backwards to keep Stephanie happy and not rock the boat. And yet he got fired anyway.

The hoops that one has to contort themselves through in order to come up with a way to make the BuckVie ridiculousness somehow look bad for Lindsey. He was trying to keep the band as a functioning unit first by recording and then by pretending it was never meant as a FM project to appease Stevie. Anyone with common sense and a cursory knowledge of the situation knows this.
