Lindsey and Peter
So after a lot of time.. I posted a poll, about a new album. Some answered that they will not necessarilly wish a Rumours lineup, but also with Bob or Peter.
Lindsey B and Peter G together... humm.. I don't get it. I don't see a band with these 2 guys together. Different styles, different groove, different lives. It would be interesting, but I see the Green years as a blues band. And Lindsey years.. anything but blues. Bob and Lindsey could be a mix (in fact I think Lindsey worked on Bob album), but Peter.. no, I don't see it. What do you think? |

Lindsey did work on Bob Welch's 1978 album "French Kiss". He co-produced the hit single "Sentimental Lady", which, ironically, Welch had earlier recorded in 1972 with Mac for the Bare Trees album.
LB did a fairly wretched rendition of "Oh well" on the 1980 live album. if that is any indication of his blues skills........ |

I thought that Peter had played some guitar parts in "Brown Eyes", a Christine song from the Tusk album... That could mean that Lindsey and Peter have worked together, at least in that minimal way. Other than that, I don't see both of them working together as guitarists of a band. In fact, it's hard for me to picture Fleetwood Mac with Lindsey and another guitarist who could steal some starring roles away from him, or another male singer/songwriter, for that matter. Not at all talking against Lindsey... it's just something that one can see through his personality.

I agree with Cristian. Also, what I picked up from that thread was that some people (like myself) couldn't vote on it because, as strange as it may sound, and with all due respect to Lindsey as we all think he's great and all but, it's not a "given" to some of us that Lindsey would be in our "dream FM lineup" (or a "given" that we would want a "Rumours" lineup FM album above all other FM lineups). As I say, no bashing meant, JMHO. I'd have a hard time choosing anyways!

But guitar playing aside for moment, he's never been in the band without sharing time with another singer/songwriter (and up until now, he shared it with two other singer/songwriters). I'm not really sure I see what the difference would be if this person was male??

Yeah Les...
Lindsey is not a spotlight hog. He went on his OOTC tour with a guitar army!! There were girls AND guys in it. I think that if the right, compatible guitarist came along and Lindsey and this other person sounded good together, he wouldn't be opposed to it.
I don't think LB and PG would be a good team tho..WAY too different of styles that just don't mesh, IMO. My ideal FM would be: Lindsey Danny Stevie Christine Mick John

Just to clarify, I didn't necessarily agree with Cristian's "stealing the spotlight" angle but, well, his "other guitarists" OOTC tour is different I think because he KNEW that people "came to see HIM" specifically on that tour whereas he may not have "been so sure" who came to see who with FM, just a thought.

I meant what I said in a more "psychological" and "subjective" way more than an opinion based on facts that I can know and prove, therefore I don't have more justifications to what I said than my own perceptions. I just have the feeling that Lindsey could perhaps feel a little uncomfortable if he is in Fleetwood Mac and some other person begins to gain as much as a starring role as him, in the field that he handles (i.e. guitar/vocals/composing/production). It's an image that's kind of difficult to picture in my head, but it's probably more based in different appreciations of some facts rather than in the real facts.
Again, just a personal angle and perception. I don't pretend to know everything about Lindsey's personality, but from what I've collected through the interviews, the way he comes to record music, and the music itself, it's my feeling that a thing like that wouldn't work just as fine as it does with Lindsey playing all of those roles by himself. Oh God... all those explanations... I'm going to have to learn to be politically correct again... Song of the moment - No Questions Asked

Why thank you... it took me about six months to put the words together in that last post, so a little bit of support is kind of welcomed these days...

Cristian, you don't need to feel apologetic or careful about anything you said. I don't agree with some of your perceptions about Lindsey, but you don't have to agree with me either.
