LOL I know--I don't think John does either at this point. I am fine with an O'Douls! Point is--seem to be 2 down to earth guys who are not overly impressed with themselves any more.

I'd bet they will ask you not to ask Mick about the Lindsey issue. But If they allow you, I agree he won't share details about it.

And yes, Mick's first book details many cocaine stories.

I’m pretty sure John had to quit, too.

I understand the disappointment that many of us have with Christine, HOWEVER, I do try and look at it through the lense of, she just got back in the band a few years ago and she was probably trying not to add gas to the fire. It also sounds like they pulled a fast one on her and the deed was already done by the time word got back to her.

And, it’s not like she doesn’t have her own loyalties to Mick and John. She got caught in the middle, made it known she wasn’t happy about what happened, but is making the best of the situation. I don’t know what more people expect from a woman who will be 75 in a couple of months.

and honestly had she also walked, it would of put an even bigger divide into the band that also would of been the final straw that broke them up completely as a band. What happened to Lindsey may not of been fair at all, but cant blame her for not wanting to cause additional problems amongst one another.

Friends once basicaly stumbled over Mick on the streets (in germany, I doubt that he would walk around onywhere n the US) and talked with him for 5 minutes. They say he was charming, nice and funny. He then told them that he needed to go to his Meet and Greets now. That was hilarious to my friends, they accidently got the meet and greet for free.

which is what should have happened. how would that be worse than what actually did happen?

although i have to say i'm enjoying these catastrophic sales and them offering free m&gs and front rows already a week after tix went on sale and 6 months before the shows.

should they have agreed to hold off touring until the time is right and keep everyone and work together...yes absolutely.


Do I wish for all of them ending in a situation with bad feelings amongst ALL of them, no I dont. Its heartbreaking enough to see it happen with lindsey. To see the other 4 walk away not talking to each other would be additionally tragic.

I still think mick is a money hungry idiot and stevie is tripping on her own ego....and they had a huge hand in this together.

Totally agree.. Christine hosed a friend... Honestly--at pushing 80---why should she care that Mick Fleetwood is happy. She hosed a friend and a colleague and a collaborator. And by the way--her "friends" hosed her by dealing this deck of cards while she was in the far recesses of the UK where they clearly don't have wifi, internet, email or phones so they couldn't tell her what they were planning. Poor Chris

I know things are a little bit contentious around here right now but I’m looking for honest opinions and reviews. so if it all possible, no name calling here. Thanks in advance.

My initial reaction. Does that include a concert ticket and maybe a free meal at Fleetwood's on Front Street?????!!!!!

OMFG!!

I met him for free after a Zoo show in 1992. I’m still a fan and would love to talk to him about the band and whatnot, but I would never pay for a meet and greet, especially at that price. That’s guitar money!

Are you kidding me? I literally TWICE walked into two different supermarkets and he was sitting at a table ALONE with his wine waiting for people to come up to the table. If there was two people that was a lot.

I believe this is the perfect assessment of this entire fiasco. I wish them only the worst, both of them.

See? HOW is that worth his time? The IDIOT is shameless in his willingness to sell ANYTHING. He'd probably say you could have sex with his wife for 10K. Or less. Much, much less....
