Based on where they were the most popular, stupid.

But they aren't the most popular in the US.
They have had more far more chart success outside of America. Please check your FM knowledge before you keep embarrassing yourself. "They are an American band and they are most popular in the US..... ......And Stevie is a man and Lindsey a woman too perhaps |

Sorry to be so picky... but Fleetwood Mac recorded 4 proper studio albums with zero Americans. Bob Welch was of course American so FG to HAHTF don't count. Shocked to hear some people on here consider Fleetwood Mac to be an American band though. And yes... Neil Finn is massively popular and famous in a number of countries outside the US.

Totally agree with you ...she's lived in London for how long now?! She's even lost her Australian accent and has been very much adopted in the UK, so same analogy as Neil.....very successful in their home countries and UK but not at all in the US.

Lindsey was fired. That part sucks - that opinion seems universal around here. Finn had zero to do with LB's firing. That seems beyond dispute, also. What's left of the band will heavily feature Neil Finn. Why wouldn't "most" Mac fans "give AF" about him? Sure, we're pissed about the LB situation, but why sit in the corner, fingers in ears, yelling "LALALALALALALA, I don't know/care who Neil Finn is! LALALALALALALA! I'm not listening!!!"?!? (I mean, hey, it's a free Internet, you can do what ya want, but it seems to be an odd response to me.) Until we hear this latest incarnation, none of us can really say whether this "new band" is worth listening to or not. I think us Finn Fans are only saying it just *might* be worthwhile to give him/them a chance, despite our anger over the LB dismissal. I saw The Classic East show last summer and while I enjoyed the show, Lindsey looked bored and a bit angry at times. I absolutely love the guy and his musical style, but seeing that show left me with little enthusiasm for future Rumours-FM projects, including this upcoming tour. LB seemed checked out. His exit has ticked me off, but Finn's addition just might breathe some necessary new life into these old-timers. "Might" being the key word here. So to paraphrase the Crazy Britney Spears Guy from years ago: Give Neil a chance!!! |

Not that you took the time to read the whole thing, but he was called 'stupid' first.

I get what you mean. THEY see themselves as Americans, maybe not the auidence. I don't see them performing all across small European towns, like in the US.

Buster called me a "f*cking pathetic loser", and that was allowed. "Stupid" is a walk in the park, compared to that. But I'm certain that JohnL doesn't see it that way.
