Default Why was it verboten to called BuckVie Fleetwood Mac?

Why was it forbidden to called Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie "Fleetwood Mac", or "Buckingham McVie" for that matter?

Trying to spare Stevie's feelings?
Knew they couldn't tour with Mick and John under the Lindsey/Christine moniker?

Does anyone here NOT consider this the swansong Fleetwood Mac album?

Yes to all of the above.

I’m not sure if I consider it the swan song album or not. I guess since there will never be an album with the 5, it’s the closest thing we’ll ever have.

Calling it Fleetwood Mac would damage the brand in terms of marketing, because it would disappoint a lot of people who were expecting Stevie Nicks to be on it. Thus, fewer people would come to shows. I think that was the rationale.

It's about the brand, not the band.

Honestly, though, I didn't want an album without Stevie to be put out as a Fleetwood Mac album either. Now I don't know what to think.

It was a dumb move that I suspect was driven by management. So it would have disappointed people and put Stevie in the hot seat. It would also have shown the world that no one member is above the band. A Stevie-less Fleetwood Mac co-headline tour with, say, Heart, would probably have been as successful as Stevie’s tour with The Pretenders.

Because you can tour without Lindsey (or Christine as well) and still call it FM, but you can't record without Stevie and still call it FM. I'd dare them to tour without her and call it FM as well.

They did and ended up touring in an oldies show in 1995 sandwiched between has beens Pat Benatar and Reo Speedwagon for 15 bucks a ticket.

They should have.
