"The worst time really for me was, when we were doing that first album, was that Lindsey had been writing World Turning and I really wanted… I was his girlfriend too, you know, so you’ve got to realize that made me extra sensitive. And I really wanted to help with the song and he turned away completely and asked Chris. And that was the worst night of me being in Fleetwood Mac, because I went out to the parking lot and sat in the car and cried because I couldn’t figure out why he would tell me no and tell her yes. And it wasn’t even Christine, it was Lindsey that I was really bummed with, because I was so hurt. Then I realized as the days and weeks went on after that, that if we were going to do this, I was going to have to share him a little bit. And I was going to have to back off, because Christine certainly, of all people, didn’t want to cause any trouble between Lindsey and me. Just her as a musician and singer and a really nice lady that was becoming a friend of Lindsey’s, probably the kind of friend that I never was, nor will I ever be… he could accept her in a lot of ways that he couldn’t accept me. Because I loved her, it was alright. If I hadn’t had liked Christine, it would have been impossible. I would have had to leave, because I would have been so jealous."

Who should replace SN if she continues refusing to record?
Mrs Clause. Santa would not mind in the off season.LOL....... Yes .Finally we will get an Holiday album out of the Mac. Hahhahahaha.Just playing around.Hehehehehee. Sheryl Crow is my pick or get some young blood into the band. I think its late in the game to start with somebody new and they end up waiting it out and Stevie will be there soon.Probably just do the Mick,John,Lindsey,Chris four sum If Stevie quits which I doubt that will happen.

so 46 of 55 voters so far - close to 85% prefer FM with just the 4, to anyone joining to replace SN in the case she continues refusing to record. i find it interesting that some people put emphasis on who would be best for touring, when cashgrab is not the part SN has problems with, apparently. the problem is creative, prolific, recording part. i suspect any replacement would need to be primarily because of the creative fit, and not because she/he would be attracting extra live audience (i.e. supergroup kind of replacement). that said, i liked the argument someone brought up in the thread, that between the 2 of them Lindsey and Christine seem to have plenty of creativity and new songs to fill up an album, so bringing in someone new and their songs would take the space of Christine's and Lindsey's songs we would otherwise hear.

Stevie isn't going anywhere. She's done 100 interviews within the last year where she's said "Nobody can leave Fleetwood Mac". If she doesn't record, it will come out as a Lindsey solo album.

As far as the record label is concerned, without Steve is there is no Fleetwood Mac. So basically if Stevie decides to blow off the next album (which I doubt she will) then Fleetwood Mac will just end. At this point, and since 1997, Stevie has a lot more pull in the band than she had previously. They need her, she doesn't need them.

I still think it would be ideal for them to sign with Interscope.. WB sucks in promoting their material! |

I think smaller indie labels would be drooling at the opportunity to release the Fleetwood Mac album, especially if Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were on it. Personally, I would like to see them sign with Matador Records.

she IS commercially relevant, no other rocker in her 60s is close to her sales, and top 10 debuts matter. the right record company could have doubled that total |

What's to advance, though? They've already recorded the bulk of their work and with the money they're making on this tour, they don't need an advancement. The larger indie labels, like Matador, could very easily afford to release a band like Fleetwood Mac.
