I don't know if another album with all five is realistic. If it is done, I think it would be very phony and nothing like the original greatness. This band keeps using marriage and divorce analogies which seem soap opera dramatic but in their case probably apply. Expecting them to go back to that setup is probably like asking a long divorced couple to get hitched again. Something is irretrievably broken and nothing they can do about it.
And at this point in their lives, may also be a risk. We're seeing artists not taking care of themselves, self medicating with new painkillers, while still doing big shows and long tours just dropping left right and centre. I just wish them all health and happiness whatever they're doing. That's the important thing. They've got in a rut which isn't much fun. I go to very few concerts as it's a long way to travel, a lot of planning. I went to last tour only because Christine was back. But I don't want to see bands just rotating set list. At first when I heard about this I thought wtf? and it's obvious something has gone down between various members. But depending on new set list, I may be intrigued enough to check it out. And see some of the traditional pre Buckingham/Nicks work shine. (I say that as a huge Rumours fan too!) |

Ha ha, did you see that someone on the Rumours side of the forum is branding those that would like to come here to have a quiet place for discussion as the "Children of Stevie"? Nope, no cult here, just nice to get a breath of fresh air to discuss things like an adult instead of name-calling and hysteria. Besides, shouldn't some of those folks be glad there are people here having discussions about the current line-up after the constant "this should be moved to the Post-Rumours forum" drumbeat? (as if the band has ceased to be an entity now)

I don't hang out over here because I've got some "Stevie can do no wrong" complex, I visit this forum to talk about an upcoming tour that I'm looking forward to featuring four senior citizens that for whatever reason are no longer hanging out with the fifth senior citizen. And because I don't feel the need to get that worked up about that decision. Life's too short. |

Yes, this forum IS a relief... except for the odd pornography threads, or whatever they are

Yep, don't recall that ever happening on the Ledge before and I've been visiting here on and off for more than 20 years.

I'm just thankful the moderators catch them and delete them so quickly. Great job, guys! |

As I've already said in another thread on the Rumours forum, discussions about the new line-up in our opinion (meaning we Moderators) should stay in the Rumours forum. If anyone feels more at ease here it's not a problem at all but I don't see why anyone should give up the right to post there.
About the spam threads, we Moderators try our best but the site is old now, the web isn't the same as two decades ago, and as you can imagine we also have other commitments during the day. Last edited by SisterNightroad; 05-03-2018 at 09:25 AM.. Reason: grammar error |

I think I wish to stay here. I know that moderators have difficult thankless job at times, and this situation with change in the group was unexpected. Emotions are running high and that's natural when we first hear news such as this. But if I may say so, I wasn't feeling comfortable with what felt was 'character assassination' in the Rumours forum, people suggesting going and heckling the group at their shows etc. That is concerning to me and I personally feel is out of line and irresponsible. I could and maybe should have reported it privately and tried to continue, but right now have a lot going a lot going on in my life, my health balance is shaky, I'm supposed to be avoiding environments I find stressful so thought it was best I just move out of it all. At least until things cool off a bit. I'd rather step out than end up posting something inappropriate and out of proportion myself, that disrespects the standards of this board. Peace and ty.

As far as posting about the current lineup on Rumours vs post-Rumours, I'm torn. I think most people don't want to seem like they're rubbing Lindsey's firing in his fans faces when they talk about their excitement for the tour. I appreciate their feelings, which run the gamut from anger to sadness, so like I said, I'm torn. |

There is absolutely nothing different now than there was in 1987.

Its an old site, that is out of date, incomplete and not going anywhere fast. It needs an owner with resources and a commitment to recording the legacy of Fleetwood Mac. At this late stage in the game I can't see that happening.

You also have to think that any sub-forum of this site in reality was meant to talk in a retrospective manner about its subject (saving Chit Chat I guess), so even the Rumours forum is actually about the band from 1975 to 1987. By the time The Dance came noone expected a reunion so from that point onward the Rumours board has been used for every subsequent output for convenience. Quote:
