I've always felt it was beyond a miracle that they somehow cobbled together an existence, even if it's a paper-thin chemistry strictly for touring, for the past twenty years since 1997. It's heartbreaking how much garbage Lindsey was willing to let flow under the bridge and still think of them like family up until 2018 when they ALL proved to really be the awful people that even Lindsey didn't ever believe them to be until then.

I also think one of the biggest revelations in the past ten years was when Stevie was quoted complaining about the 2009 tour because there wasn't any conflict between her and Lindsey which she felt made the tour "blah"
That is some sick sh*t right there. These are not twenty-year-old kids in a band together. These are grown a** adults. What I'm getting at, I don't think there was anything Lindsey could of ever of done to resolve the ongoing issues. Thinking that Christine, John, or Mick would have the balls to step in is liking asking a bunch of toddlers to direct traffic, it wasn't going to happen. You have two people who just wanted the cash... One person who just wanted to be with her band again and not get in the middle of it, but really painted herself as spineless. And one person who really pivoted from being an "artist" to a "performer" and a "performer" at ALL COSTS, a very long time ago who also was only looking out for the glory that comes with being said performer. So really, Lindsey has and has always been on an island amongst that group.

But even if you just plug the new album and chuck a few hits in at the end, you'd have had three singer/songwriters who will want their own fare share of their own songs included, baying fans (yes that includes me) who'd want all five classic era albums represented somehow. I have to admit I'm amazed it took two years for anyone to respond to this thread since I started it in a fit of pique, I guess after the appearance on US TV with the baloney about LB not wanting to tour. When I started the thread there wasn't the Present Band forum so for post-Rumours stuff I could only post here. I can't see Lindsey accepting the presence of a second guitarist in the recording unit, much less Mick feeling the need with a man of Lindsey's versatility around. Bear in mind the only one-guitar album they did without him was Heroes.

I wish Mick would just say definitively that the group does not exist anymore. Then we can edit Wikipedia and get rid of all this crap about the surviving members of the 2018-19 lineup comprising a current configuration. Thanks to Mick and all erstwhile members for the good times. |

about the 3 songwriters, yes - that's part of what Lindsey used to call "band politics". especially between him and Stevie - each wanted the same number of songs. Christine although she had more hits, seemed to not care as much judging by 2014-15 setlists. so yeah there are legendary bands with many more hits then the Mac, but they didn't have all that band politics to deal with when they would do just a couple of hits at the show. i just checked setlists of the last year's tour and guess what? only 5 of Stevie-penned songs were in the setlist! (and 7 Christine-penned). so as long as LB is not there, Stevie apparently doesn't care how many of the songs she wrote are in the set. if you had 5 staples from each songwriter that's 15 all together and considering they'd usually do about 22, with the Chain that leaves a space for 6 new songs. so i don't buy nor am i willing to make any excuses for that bunch.

In fairness, it probably wasn’t somehow the Mac who could not perform it. It probably was Lindsey who did not want to perform it without the layers.

I do hold him responsible for that. He put the Phil Spector in Hold Me and probably was dissatisfied with the way it came off on stage without Phil (or fill or feel).
I also blame him for not performing Isn’t It Midnight on tour with Christine because it sounded so incredible live and I miss not getting to hear him do that. I hope his arrangement would have been as good as what we got. |

Think About Me on 2014-15 tour (Aus leg) was disappointing, unlike Hold Me on BuckVie tour.

Christine did a wonderful Hold Me on her solo tour in 1984. Sounded better live then than the Mac's 1982 version. Of course Chris had several guys backing her but no background singers LOL

Not sure about 2018/2019, because I have no interest in Fakewood Mac.
