hope so! immediately after album comes out in may would be great! i'm hoping for intimate venues like theaters and hopefully clubs like 9:30 and the fillmore. i'd hate arena tour.

Agreed.. I don't care what Stevie thinks.... this isn't about her. And I love that.

OK, I appreciate the honesty, but you get credit for posting it where I could see it.

I care in the sense that I think it will be interesting. That doesn't mean I won't buy the CD or go to a live show if she says something negative.

Finally. Thank God. They got tired of waiting for "her" to show up for work and are releasing a Fleetwood Mac album. (If Mick and John are the rhythm section then it is a Fleetwood Mac album, whatever they officially call it. That duet album talk is just a way to lessen the number of awkward questions about just why "she" isn't participating.) At worst this can be considered Tango in the Night Part II; it may even sound better, since "she" is not gurgling through the motions.

It's so hilarious...

[jbrownsjr]

It's been trending on FB all day.. That really surprised me..

While I would have loved Stevie to participate, it'll be nice to see what they've been working on, what they think we need to hear. Excited to hear what Christine has had tucked away for so long.

Im big fan of Stevie and Im sad that she´s not gonna participate, but it´s her decision. I would be much more sad if that would be the reason to the rest of the band not to record anything new, even when they want. So Im very happy now, that they found a way to record new album without her.

But I have to say that it´s little unfair to Christine, because when she left and the rest recorded Say You Will, it was still Fleetwood Mac. So I dont see the reason why now it shouldn´t have been called Fleetwood Mac album when it´s without Stevie. There was so many incarnations of Fleetwood Mac in history, that it would not be so special... it certainly would have bigger potential of sales with the name Fleetwood Mac. So I guess that they feel that the popularity of Stevie and her being in Fleetwood Mac is so strong, that they need to call it diferently... but yeah, I think it would be more fair to Chrstine to keep the name Fleetwood Mac.
But anyway, who cares... there will be new music from these two and Im really looking forward to it.

I got to thinking, instead of calling it Buckingham McVie, they should call it The Montagues, because, you know, a Fleetwood Mac album by any other name . . .

It could be that the collaborations were so strong that a duet was more appropriate. The more I think about it, the more I love Buckingham/McVie.

Lawyers, managers, threats of going to the press.

Christine had a different approach than Stevie does.

Very very different. They are so unalike.

[bobwelchera]

I'm very excited about this! I do feel it's unfair to Christine to have to give the album and project a name that isn't Fleetwood Mac. But the comment regarding lawyers, managers, and going to the press seems accurate. Stevie has quite the ego, and it's a shame it's gotten in the way of being with her closest musical family for something special they haven't done since 1987/2, depending on who is asking. But I am looking forward to these present-day harmonies from folks interested in the music.
