SN is touring with FM. FM tours are where the cash is. so that part is a moot point. the only question is about the album.

you know, (and i know that's not you and i really appreciate your candidness and contributions to discussions ) but i'm looking at the votes against FM album coming out without SN's contributions and seeing so many SN-solo fans (many of whom freely admit they can't care less about FM) quietly voting that FM should wait for her... and i have to wonder - why is that?
are they afraid it will show FM as viable without her??

There are a lot of people who are mainly fans of one member or another, yet still enjoy when the band makes music together. You should be well aware of that, Elle! As for your last sentence... that just sounds like fan-baiting. |

yes, many people are fans of the band first, or all the members. i understand their reasoning, and most of them have expressed it. i would expect Gerald, for example, to say he wants all 5 because he's been consistently saying that (he hasn't voted yet). you expressed your reasoning, too, although i still don't get why wouldn't you want 3 albums instead of 2. but some people that voted there are SN-only fans, and they don't have a problem saying that, the same as i don't have a problem saying i'm really a LB fan, whether with the band or solo. so, if you tell me you have no interest in FM album without SN, why do you care whether it's out or not?

Nothing wrong with being curious as to the reasoning behind someone's vote, for or against. The implication that Stevie fans are voting a certain way out of fear, however, is the part that sounds like fan-baiting.
Would you be worried that a Lindsey-free album would prove Fleetwood Mac to be viable without him? Quote:

Speaking for myself, I'm always going to opt for a chance at more new songs. And to have new solo material AND new Mac material is the absolute best scenario of all, for me. |

plus, most SN fans disliked 2 last albums/outputs from FM that were with him and SN, anyway. Quote:

You know ... Think about it...... FM remained successful without Lindsey... They have remained successful for the last 16 years without Christine.... FM's biggest failure was the album and tour for Time.... which had Mick, John AND,,,, Christine on it,,,, BUT no Stevie.......
When I suggested a Stevie country LP, I was only re-voicing something that has been mentioned in the past,,,, She has always done things with a country flair and now with Lady A, CMT Crossroads and the ACM Awards, there is alot of focus in that genre for her. AND I remember reading about the prospects for her working with Lady A after last year's tour had been mentioned... and before this FM additional tour... No matter what happens..... just remember,,,,, the Fleetwood Mac of old will never be again.... To try to go back and try to re-create it seems to me to be impossible... and rather sad.... Of course......there is always the argument ......... what is FM without alot of hyped drama???? Last edited by drag00n; 04-27-2014 at 04:00 PM.. |

and what can be more drama than 4/5 of the band releasing an album while 1/5 releases her own because they seemingly can't work together in the studio?? they don't even have to hype anything, it's hyping itself! they can do press junkets all 5 together, talk how it's still a lovefest, and everybody will be looking for little signs of disagreement. it would be great!

The Fleetwood Mac name is almost always going to bring in more consumers than any of the solo members individually (I say "almost always," because 'Time' didn't do 'Street Angel's' numbers -- of course 'Time' only featured one of the classic songwriters, rather than two). I think pretty much everyone concedes that a new Fleetwood Mac album, with or without Stevie, is going to be more commercially successful than a Stevie Nicks solo album. I highly doubt Nicks fans are going to be devastated if the band chooses to move forward without her. Especially if, as you say, those fans couldn't care less about Fleetwood Mac and only want more Stevie solo. To follow through with that logic, a successful, Nicks-less Fleetwood Mac means more time for Stevie to record and tour without being tied down to the band. Quote:
I've heard quite a number of Lindsey diehards criticize both releases for various reasons, as well, yet I wouldn't surmise from that criticism that most of his fans disliked them. Quote:
To have all five on an album, I'm very willing to wait. And I still believe that's exactly what we're going to get... after the tour, just as Christine said. Last edited by Johnny Stew; 04-27-2014 at 04:22 PM.. |

Yes "Rumours" is something to be proud of but it's also hurt the band as much as it's helped them...FM tried doing something different with "TUSK" but when it was not an instant success they ran right back to the security of what has become known as the "Classic Rumours Sound" and they have never strayed far from it...Personally I have grown weary of the whole Rumours thing and I have little interest in a new Mac album since it is almost guaranteed to be especially with CM's return a "Classic Rumours Sound" re-hash... |

yes, i think FM should release, without any wait, whatever album they have done, even if they have only 2 out of 3 songwriters on it. and i don't care who is the 3rd songwriter that is out - whether it's LB, CM, or SN. regarding commercial viability, that concern/question is relevant for SN output since that's what everybody keeps bringing up - that she's by far the most commercially viable solo of the 5 of them, and that FM would not be commercially viable without her. for LB, the equivalent would be if you ask whether or not the album without him would still be as critically acclaimed as the ones with his involvement are. commercial viability was never his strength.
