Grace Slick thinks FM look awful..

[landslide95]

Don't know if anyone else saw this article. I don't know about Grace but I think FM look great. You're as young as you feel.

All of them, or just a few, or just one member? jeez... how disrespectful to older folks.. Now you have to look good in order to perform..

I just saw that, too. Whatever happened to female solidarity? This throwing shade is so bad, especially when Stevie was so influenced by Grace and never said anything but nice things about her as a performer. Sigh!

And it is not even true, they all look very good, fit and full of energy.

This is the second time she said something similar to this. The first time was a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was about Stevie's solo career.
What a bitter bitch.

FM looks great for their age.They could be worst off just doing nothing and counting chickens or working at Walmart or Home Depot as greeters like some retirees do. I have to agree with Grace if she said that about me.I look like crap and fell like crap at times at my age which subtract about a dozen of years off FM members ages .I'm glad that I dont sing or on stage.LOL...

I do enjoy Grace and her band .She has a point on retiring before its to late.Kenny Rogers is retiring after his holiday tour.

Look at Betty White.She's still going in her 90's .God bless her.Country funnyman late great Little Jimmy Dickens was still on the stage right up to his 90's. and other I forgot to mention.

Will see after 2017 what FM will do.If they will tour in 2017.

There's some clip of her talking about Stevie on youtube in a very condescending way. I honestly think there may be a tad bit of jealousy there or something.

That's what I was thinking, too.

well there was always this rumour floating around back in the day that Stevie had had a fling with Paul Katner (father of Grace's daughter China). So who knows.

Yeah, Gracie's always been a head case. So strange that the darling of the summer of love should insist that a band which, by her admission, still sounds good should pack it in because she can't bear to look at them in their old age. I'm not surprised she said this. I might add that every member of the band looks better than she does right now.

I was a little disappointed to hear her say this about FM. If something works for her, doesn't mean it will work for everyone. Maybe she is one of those rock stars that can't stand getting old or at least seeing herself age. I love Jefferson Airplane but maybe it's a tad bit of jealousy on her part. As fantastic as she was, i think she peaked in the late 60s. Just my opinion.

[James89]

She's far too opinionated and in this case I don't think anyone would agree with her. After their Isle of Wight performance, Twitter was overloaded with complements on how the band sounded AND how they looked. They look incredible for their age and their energy is astounding. It's a good job nobody takes any notice of Grace Slick anymore whereas Fleetwood Mac are as popular as ever.

Jealousy? Because she's not doing much anymore? Of course it bloody is.

Perhaps we should have a whip round for Grace.......as she obviously doesn't have a mirror in her house......
Miaow...

Agree. I had not seen Grace in a long time(late 80's) and was thrown back the picture. Almost completely didn't recognize her. Unless her remark about a televised event was one of those early AM shows where they have to be on set practicing at like 4am (even teen acts look tired on these programs), that would be the only way I could relate to the comment, because frankly they look excellent for people their age, especially the ladies. Perhaps a bit of animosity for some reason or a touch of jealousy. I find the comment unnecessary actually. At least she said the sounded great.

The other mention of the Stones is interesting, sure Mick Jagger is a ball of fire, but between him and Keith Richards I think if we are judging on age or looks they look far older than most if not all of Fleetwood Mac. IMO if you can sell seats, the demand is their for your music, and you are healthy enough why not carry on.

I don't know much about Grace Slick but this seems pretty ageist. FM are still good at what they do and who cares if they're not young-looking anymore? You don't have to be young to write good songs or be sexy or perform a great show, despite what the media/capitalism would like you to believe. People get older... Deal with it.

That said, if she's saying she doesn't find them believable because they wrote these songs so long ago and they're still singing the same ones today despite like 40 years of time and new experiences... I can respect that. I, too, would like to see some new FM material performed live.

Just think of Grace and the things she says as ,what Stevie would be like if she never stopped doing drugs
