Yes. Look at what not doing so got him. There’s a time and place to let one’s feelings be known and to be assertive. Lindsey picked the absolute worst time to do either.

I’m not a casual observer. Lindsey’s attitude, especially towards Stevie, seemed to change after Christine came back. He started letting his guard down more, and that’s a dangerous thing to do when you have an adversarial relationship with the one who has sold 30 million albums outside of the band. Quote:

Mike has no history of making music as Fleetwood Mac, so why would he be frustrated about something he was never a part of all of the sudden now at 70? he can make as much music as he wants with his other bands, Fleetwood Mac is not holding him back and telling him to wait and convert his new music to FM albums. and apparently, unlike Lindsey, he doesn't like playing his new music that nobody knows. very unlike Lindsey who LOVES to play new music to people! waiting for Rhiannon movie to be finished. Mike''s safe. he's got 40+ years to do whatever he wants.

I mean, Mike is a student of rock and appreciates that he’s working with rock’s longest running rhythm section. Quote:

you answered your own question - hold your head up high, not having to eat sh*t, prove you are right - and still get that same money.

you are clearly misreading his quotes. like Viv said on the other page - he's saying that new FM music is coming as soon as pigs fly. or Rhiannon movie gets made. whichever's first.

So Steve, should Mike mind his P's and Q's. and quit complaining that he wants to record new music? Is this the theory you speak of that rocks the corporate boat?
Here's my Bottom line: Sleezy Nicks went to mgmt over a long standing hatred, and she got him fired. The rest of all of this is all crap.

Trying to justify the nonsense that has occurred over the last two years with anything but Stevie hates Lindsey and got him fired is basically just blatantly ignoring facts that are staring everyone right in the face.
IMO, she's hated him for years. The Dance was required to reboot any of their careers and make money. He went and got married and had kids which was just a slap in the face to her. I think the inflection point where their relationship never recovered was clearly during Say You Will. That whole Bob Dylan thing, the fights about the album length, etc. It's why she's never really recorded with him again (at least not an album). Christine's return coupled with Tom's death gave her the opening she needed to execute her final F-U to Lindsey, and that's exactly what she did. She knows how to play Mick and where to hit him hard, and that's right in his wallet. A Stevie-less Fleetwood Mac won't sell out arenas (ironic, since Stevie solo without a band like The Pretenders or Rod Stewart on the bill, can't do it either). That means less money for Mick. She knew that Mick would never give up the gravy train for a less amount of gravy. And she knew that the McVie's would, with little argument, go along with Mick eventually. That this happened in 2018 is just a joke. Anyone trying to carry the "The Mac always changes lineups" tune into the third decade of the 21st century is either pushing a narrative or is detached from reality. They aren't a band anymore. They're a touring act. There is no "band"...they have recorded nothing together, have done nothing creative, other than ride off the coattails of the band's previous work. At least with the original band in tact, you are seeing living legends recreate their own work. Seeing Neil Finn try to sing Go Your Own Way while Stevie Nicks grasps that mic stand and sings the "packing up, shacking up" lines to him is just embarrassing and tacky. Say what you want about Burnette and Vito, but at least they fairly quickly recorded music and a full length album within a couple years. This version of the band will be forgotten by history. |

But Mick, Christine, Neil, and now Mike have let it be known that they want to make new music. Just like in 2015-17.

2012-2017.
and that's just the years FM actually did make new music together. not the ones they just wanted to.

Difference being Christine returning in 2014. After 2015, after what we thought was the cycle for 24KG, the prospects of a new Fleetwood Mac album seemed more realistic.

Neil and Mike are just as ready to make a Fleetwood Mac album as Lindsey was, only Mike seems more realistic about the chances of it actually happening. What pisses me off is Stevie telling Sheryl Crow that she had to keep making albums on Ellen.
