As for the speculation about what role Tom’s death had on Lindsey getting canned, your guess is as good as mine. My guess is that it was minimal. This time last year, I was thinking Lindsey was on a bit of an ego trip. “In My World” seemed especially about Stevie, he seemed dismissive towards Christine re: the making of TITN, he admitted he was only doing the Fleetwood Mac shows for the money, and put on sub-par (per reviews) shows. I thought he was in trouble before Tom’s death. I honestly don’t think Stevie went into MusiCares with the intention of sacking Lindsey or bringing Mike in. Mike was the most obvious choice after everything went down.

Does everyone here enjoy all the people they work with all the time? I don't think so. They had to have known that this would hurt the legacy of the band, and Lindsey's legacy and they did it anyway. Why? I really think there is some deep-seated jealousy that exists on the part of Stevie. She may bring in more financially, but she will never achieve the status that Lindsey quietly has among his peers. How many people have really changed music? Very few. She seems like an unhappy person to me, who unfortunately like many stars is left with no one to tell her no. The last person who did that is gone. Look at the cost.

In their prime., the second half of the 1970s there was no one like them nor had there been before or since.I feel privileged to have been a fan in real time then. Since that time there have been a mind boggling series of missed opportunities .I think this latest one is perhaps the most tragic.

I wasn’t talking about LBCM shows, just Fleetwood Mac. His attitude towards/enthusiasm for Fleetwood Mac was not good in interviews or at shows, if reviews are to be believed. IMW is a great song, but it seems to be a bit of a middle finger to Stevie. Where did I say it was a bad song?

His attitude for playing the same stuff over again shouldn't get him fired. The band should have pushed Stevie to make an album. They didn't. No one stands up to her i guess... |

As for what he says to the media—he's been periodically calling Fleetwood Mac a musical prostitute since about 1978. I doubt a few offhand remarks about a couple of big, bland festivals created much of a stir (especially since they were so innocuous—and so accurate).

The fact that we'd love to hear it doesn't mean that these bands are under some sort of existential obligation to revisit their old catalogues onstage. There were songs that Stevie and Lindsey wrote that they didn't want to perform. How can you blame him for not wanting to do Hypnotized tour after tour? Set lists are a personal thing. My attitude as audience is "You play what you want, just play it well and entertain me."
The major reason I'm unenthusiastic about this newest incarnation is because I know that it'll be a replay of 1987–1990: new guys told to play a bunch of songs that a previous version of the band made famous, and play them in a traditional coverish way. Don't reinvent, don't get quirky, don't let too much of your own personality cloud the "personality" of the old song. My favorite thing of the 1987 tour — Rick's mournful I Loved Another Woman — was Rick channeling Peter Green. The 1975 group could have spent the next ten years playing Green and Kirwan and Welch, but I'm not sure anyone was really up to that. Zzzzzz. . . .

She was obviously very, very pissed at Mick's words about Lindsey in his Billboard interview. I was surprised too at her choice of words. It's getting real ugly now. I'm still glad that she is sharing with the fans though. I just wish Lindsey would do an interview and tell his side.

I disagree that Stevie did not have the intention of bringing Mike in before MusiCares...the turnaround for Lindsey to be fired and Mike hired is far too fast, in fact it was almost instantly. You can see that Neil WASNT pre planned as they took weeks to hire him after another rejected the offer. Last edited by Angel75; 08-08-2018 at 02:24 AM.. |
