New rolling stone interview

Macfan4life · #1 12-15-2018, 02:49 PM

I totally don't believe the story that she was the last to know while on stage with Fleetwood Mac. Her ear piece goes out and Mick is trying to tell her? Yeah ok.
Let's pretend.
I also don't believe Def Leppard comes to all the Fleetwood Mac shows.

Macfan4life, buddy I think you may have read the interview too fast

She didn't say she learned she was being inducted at the concert while on stage. Also, I don't think she actually literally meant Def Lepard goes to each FM show, or even necessarily each tour, but I'm sure they have seen FM live. Why you find that hard to believe I don't understand.

You are right. I did read too fast. Why would she be surprised fellow band mates would congratulate her on being inducted. That tells you all you need to know about tensions in the band.

She was comparing the two lineups- if her mind, if Lindsey had been on this tour, nothing would have been said about her induction because there would have been tension. On this tour, Mick and Christine spoke freely about her induction, and there was no problem. Please note I said in her mind. I have no idea what FM's reaction would have been if Lindsey had been on tour with them.

My God, Stevie talks a lot. Expect a long speech.

Mick, Lindsey, and Stevie talk a lot. That’s why John and Christine are my favorites!

Prince would not have performed with Stevie. He was notoriously quite shy.

Have you ever heard of him making a special appearance to perform backup with someone at an event like that?

Keep in mind that when he played guitar at George Harrison's induction, it was only because he himself was inducted that same night. He didn't make a special trip.

That's the thing with her. In her mind the minute Lindsey is involved, the claws are out and there is tension in her mind. We already know from her comments about the 2009 tour, when she didn't feel there was tension she makes comments to stir the pot and create tension....about the tension she felt should of been there. Quite frankly he should never perform with her again or even attempt to polish her 30 year old demos. It's not worth the mountain of BS that comes with it. Enjoy your kids, family, and making new music with good people.

I actually disagree. I think Lindsey would have acknowledged her induction in some way had he been part of the current line up.

Awesome read...thank you for sharing.

Wow, if your analysis is correct, Stevie feels like a stranger in Fleetwood Mac. All those years without Christine Lindsey played her solo songs in Fleetwood Mac concerts. While Lindsey may not have said anything to Stevie, I am sure Chris and Mick would have still congratulated her. Stevie is just as passive/aggressive as Lindsey.
Its actually pathetic she would say such a thing because if your theory is correct, it almost implies that Lindsey would hold Mick and Christine hostage to not say anything.
I don't think anything would be further from the truth.

Everybody's perception is different- Stevie was giving hers, but she could easily have been wrong. I do remember when she was on the cover of Rolling Stone a few years back, during the FM tour where Christine returned, and Mick, John, and Lindsey refused to be interviewed for the article since it was about Stevie. Only Christine agreed to talk to the interviewer. So I can see, after hearing from an objective third party that there was definitely tension about her solo career then, why she would expect tension when she was inducted... and how happy she was when there was none. For whatever the reason, whether it was because Lindsey wasn't there or because Mick was in a good mood or some other reason, in her eyes there was no tension this time.

And the profoundly sad "Sunset Boulevard" train rolls right along...

In 1982 when Mirage was #1 Stevie Nicks refused to be interviewed by Rolling Stone with a Mac (group) interview. I had the magazine and will never forget what it said "on the advice of her manager, Irving Azoff Stevie declined to be interviewed"
The entire band did an interview but Stevie refused to participate.
Stevie is still selling poison and its wrong. Her induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame has nothing to do with Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac. But she is trying to bring them into it.
WRONG.

The Def Leppard twitter page has a post on 11/26 showing Joe Elliot backstage at a Mac show.
