Rumours of Lindsey leaving the band? - Page 15

I guess when you're a self absorbed artist in your late sixties with nothing left to write about, have any family to ground you, or loved once to remind you of what matters...I guess all one can do is sit in a condo over Santa Monica beach and rehash decades old grudges and obsess about a relationship that ended 30 years ago.

We also know that LB wanted it to be a full fledged FM album/tour...but when it became a BuckVie effort, did Mic want to tour and get paid and did LB shut him out. That might explain some disdain for being asked to push things back.

EXACTLY! That's Mick Fleetwood selective hearing for you. Sure 4/5th of us are going to make an album together but since stevie didn't come aboard, it counts as your solo album with special guests. Next time Stevie has an issue with your solo work, I will throw you under the bus. The bottom line is, something had to be manufactured to break up the love fest between them all minus stevie. It was starting to make her look bad. Buckingham McVie was a nail in her side and now we're paying for it.

She's like Nelly from lite house on the prairie.

Yeah. You're right. Stevie didn't marry and have kids so she must live a lonely, unfulfilled life while pining away for her one true love - Joe Walsh!

And when you take out all of the demos out of the mix, how much actual new material is there between all of it...

BigAl84 · #**215** 04-08-2018, 06:49 PM

Oh and a documentary you manufacture about yourself doesn't count as creativity. That's called hiring a camera crew.

Fine. Stevie Nicks is a horrible human being and Lindsey Buckingham should be nominated for sainthood for putting up with her this long. Happy now? All this and we are no closer to knowing if any of this actually happened.

Even if it's not true, I bet they are in no hurry to quell the rumours. This board is hopping again and they love the drama.

That's what's also weird about it. Lindsey and the Heartbreakers are friends. They've worked together in the past and were always complimentary of each other. Tom especially always spoke highly of Lindsey's work.

Nearly all of the material on those records are over a decade or two in origin. And only a small portion of it stacks up with her pre-dance material.

Regardless of what happens or what (if anything) is true about this, I always wondered, if Say You Will (album AND tour apparently) were so dreadful, why did she not just leave Fleetwood Mac in 2005? She was still under 60 and obviously still able to tour on her own and do her own thing under her own rules. I'll never understand why she kept torturing herself? I mean, other than the obvious $$ answer. She could never get from touring on her own what she would get as part of the Fleetwood Mac brand. But her whole attitude change after the Say You Will tour has turned me off to her so much. She's miserable about everything associated with the band.

I don't know what I find more annoying about being a fan of these people, the WEIRD af fans who obsess about the LB/SN relationship and the phoned in stage crap (here's looking at you people who squeal with joy when they hug or put weirdo comments on YouTube saying they are soulmates)...or the fact that Stevie (mostly, but sometimes Lindsey too) still carries grudges about a stupid relationship that ended over 40 years ago.

Either get on with your life or remove this person from your life once and for all - and if that last part is what is happening now, then I call BS on the fact that you didn't just leave 13 years ago.

Very Stevie of you to turn it up to 1000 when someone refutes a point.

LB is no saint, but Stevie is still in 7th grade sometimes.

No matter what Christine said, she was FURIOUS with BuckVie! She didn't want to do an album but she didn't want anybody to do it either.

I think that if the fact that Lindsey asked to either delay the tour or work it around his solo project is true (which it really seems like is what happened, if this is all true), then that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Stevie probably flipped out and then Lindsey probably got madder and I can imagine it all going downhill from there.

I know you're upset but nobody has said Lindsey's a saint. But if he was thrown out of the band by Mick and Stevie just because of some joke at Musicares and some solo tour dates, after 43 years of working with the band, it's totally unfair.

If they just reenacted that scene on stage nightly in lieu of a plodding Rhiannon and the 'evolved' Big Love, they could fill stadiums
