I agree that what really kept the band together post-Rumours was chasing pop success. They had to capitalize on that, and they definitely couldn't afford to lose Lindsey in their prime, as he was essentially the creative director of the band. Now that any commercial relevance is behind FM and they're just an oldies touring act, they don't really need Lindsey as much anymore. He already helped craft their hits, so they can just hire other players to sing his songs and play the guitar parts he created. Last edited by saniette; 03-09-2019 at 12:56 PM.. |

thank you.
i've seen Steve posting this over and over in bunch of threads and i just don't get it. i come here, like i believe most of us, to get away from regular life and everything we are bombarded with every day. i thought politics is for chit chat, not FM forums.

so i will repeat to people who keep asking what we should expect from FM, after the heart attack - and what Mick is so obviously not doing:

yep, aided and abetted by Azoff.... I'm sure he pointed out to them, "Look at the Eagles....Glen who was the lead/co-lead is gone, and they just replaced him and the fans are fine, they're making money hand over fist" And then Journey kept going and just replaced Steve Perry, and Queen kept going replacing their ONLY lead singer and ONLY really energetic front person Freddie Mercury and fans still paid to fill shows, and example after example. He would have been one of the major voices probably both while they were deciding and afterward encouraging this.

He kinda …. died. Because he refused to take his AIDS meds. And John Deacon left the band once Freddie died. I don't think it's fair for the rest of the band to stop doing their music because of that. Just adding my two 0.02 Queen cents.

I am appalled by some of the commentary here. This used to be such a fun place to visit and read.

KB's response on Mick's newest round of interviews. it's so sad the Bucks had to see those interviews that really should go straight to the trash piles of history, for Mick's and band's legacy sake. she clarifies several things here too, that we didn't necessarily know about:

And you've missed the main point. Key figures in bands, like, the one and only front person, can leave (for whatever reason) and nowadays the bands keep going. Azoff would have been, IMHO, the first one to point this out to the band to allay any concerns they might have had re: whether it was a good/viable decision to keep going after firing LB. Which Mick in fact said they did-- they had the conversation about can we do this? And then decided they could. His words. I'm betting Azoff as their manager was part of that conversation and one of the strongest voices telling them they could and should keep going.

kick the people close to you when they are down has been Mick's MO according to so many people around the band. and then lie about what happened. you gotta wonder whether what he told Wendy Welch about Christine is a complete lie too - because why would we expect lying liar to tell the truth?

They all plotted against Lindsey. Azzoff included. I'm still unsure if Christine and John were part of that conversation, they disagreed and Mick/Stevie/Azzoff went on despite their differences and behind Christine and John's backs. Hence Christine's displeasure in the CBS interview. After the last Mick's interview I'm starting to wonder if Stevie in fact wanted to fire him before Musicares and maybe Mick told her 'no'. Not defending Mick here, but she probably wanted to even take that away from him and his family.

I don’t remember a time when there were not many complaints about just how UNfun this place is.
