Default New Mick Interview

Mick was a guest on the debut episode of Volume West on Sirius XM Channel 106. It's on demand on the Sirius XM app too.

The interview doesn't break any new information on what went down with Lindsey but Mick says that rehearsals start in August. He said he was recently with Stevie and Mike Campbell and after they ran through all the songs they want to play - including Stevie "threatening" to sing "Black Magic Woman" - they think the show may run close to 3 hours. He also said they are gonna try to work up a couple new songs - he referred to them as "calling cards" - to release before the tour.

That's interesting. Damn, now I'm rethinking going to the show!

My prediction is right on. I predicted this months ago that the band would play one or 2 "new" songs but never record them just so they can "prove" to the world this is a new band and demand everyone take them seriously.
Well then Mick, record a freaking album then! Oh wait that's right, your star wont record music anymore because it does not sell. Oh wait, she meant that only when Lindsey was there.
Give me a break. They don't want to sound like a Fleetwood Mac cover band so these corny new songs no one will hear again!

There is a greater likelihood we all get bit by dinosaurs before any incarnation of FM records new music

I think a song or two off, an EP, etc is possible. But an actual album? Not gonna happen.

I’m still 50-50.

If they could do something in a few months, tops, Stevie might be able to get on board. The less time, money, and drama it takes to make an album, the more likely Stevie will be to agree to participate.

Were they a "Fleetwood Mac" cover band when Buckingham and Nicks came on to replace Welch? This band has changed many times.

I think there's a big difference between a change in their young careers (especially considering that they weren't even particularly well known in the US) when none of the various lineups had lasted more than a few years each and a change when they're all 70 years old and have broken apart the lineup that launched them into the crazy fame and success that made them iconic, produced most of their legendary songs and albums and has been definitive for the name 'Fleetwood Mac' for several decades.

In recent years Stevie has gone into studios to perform songs on other artists’ albums so I think she will do it if it feels right to her. And we know she has a ton of old material she can dust off if she is not ready to record something new. Time will tell.

I just listened to this softball interview. No mention of Lindsey except Mick saying he has 'huge kudos of respect for Lindsey now and into the future but we needed a change'. Rehearsal starts in August but a little earlier for him and John with the guitar players. He praised Mike's production ability and his songwriting. Mick didn't realize how much Mike had written over the years. 50 years of FM for him and John so they want to revisit the early blues days and "jam things out a little bit more here and there".

I'd have to listen again because he rambles, but he said there was a 'team huddle' where they weren't sure they should continue but once they decided to go forward they had to decide who to get. Then something about 'a lot of thought for Neil' after acknowledging they had Mike. I swear he uses 4-6 extra words for every 1 word that would suffice.

Mick is such a giant turd. I have lost ALL respect for this a hole.

I just reread this--that line is even more appalling. I am not even sure how to comprehend that. "We plan on calling him up in the future to bail our a$$es out of a sling." And he's thrown change into the vernacular now--I thought Lindsey wasn't touring because of scheduling conflicts--now it's a change. Are we getting closer to the truth.

IA. Out of all the BS that this band has spewed over the years this whole ordeal has hands down the most silly statements after another. I doubt Lindsey will ever want to work with them again, his pride is too much for that, but Mick will probably always want to turn to him when he's desperate. I remember I read somewhere when Mick talked about that period in the 90s after Time when he and John broke up the band, he was saying how it was such a bad time for him and then (conveniently) who was the person he decided to reach out to? Lindsey! He talked about how he wrote to him and they talked for a bit and shortly after Lindsey brought him and John out to do his solo album and they spent time together and had some good talks and then we all know how that turned out
