It wouldn't even take all of them to go. Just Lindsey. Although Mick would probably come anyway. All they have to do is take some songs that they want her to play and sing on and then pick a couple of her new songs to work on. Lindsey (and Mick) then take them back to L.A. and Bob's your Uncle! She even really have to have more than a couple of new songs on the album and they wouldn't get their knickers in a twist about her writing a "hit" and people expecting it to be played because as I understand it the album will probably be after the "Lounge" tour Gail |

By the way, what exactly is being "unleashed" ... it looks to me like it's a same old thing tour. How can they possible claim it's a greatest hits tour when they're not going to perform "Over My Head," "Hold Me," "Say You Love Me" and all of Christine's other hits.

Now for me, I don't think Chris was the heart of the band. I think, overall, Mick is. He wasn't a great manager, but I think he's a great mediator and can bring and keep divergent personalities together. As greedy as he is, he has an ego that subverts itself for the good of the band most of the time. As long as you don't sleep with Jenny . . .
But Stevie has said that Christine was like the school teacher and without her, they were just running around like little children, waiting to be called in from recess. I believe that. When we hear demos and things, you can clearly hear Chris orchestrating their rehearsals. I suppose I would call her a "center" of sorts. I do think she tethered the other two, by being in between them. Someone each of them could play off of, rather than battling each other. I think that was true from 1975 on. I think she stopped a lot of friction, just being another person they could couple with. One moment that stuck with me from the Dance tour was when Lindsey was announcing the wrong song and Stevie didn't say anything to him. She went to Christine and whispered to her and then, from her piano, Christine called to Lindsey that he was introducing the wrong song. It was a very small thing, but I think it was symbolic of the way the 3 of them communicated. With Christine there, Lindsey and Stevie didn't have to deal directly with each other. Then, musically, I do think it's uncanny the way Christine and Lindsey were so different, her trained, him untrained, yet they could arrive at such a good and unique place together. That collaboration. You can have a dinner with broccolli, steak and apple pie and you might not salivate over the steak, unless someone serves you just a plate with broccolli and pie, or pie and steak. Only then do you realize you don't have a full meal. That's how the 3 of them balanced each other for me. Michele |

It definately smells like Eagle poop! They don't realize it, but it's a big middle finger to their real long-time fans. How about giving us something new to get engaged/inspired by-- something other than regurgitating the vomit of their redundancy for the sake of enlarging their retirement funds??? This seems to be the theme among artists who get to a certain stage in a long career. When Elton John did a live HITs album not too long ago I almost wanted to gag...but of course I bought it...and only gagged for a little while, then got over it. Still, the blatent "cash-in" is hard to ignore from Stevie and Fleetwood Mac as of lately. Lindsey, though complicit, is the stand-out member for actually being a productive artist; making some new, innovative music and performing impassioned shows in which the focus is on artistry, and not a merely a visit to an ATM.

Look, I'd love to seen them finally live, but I don't understand the whole thing. Why not release a box set now & a new album next year?
I'm quite sure that they will never be best friends. You might ask, "what does that have to do with his first part of this post?", but to me that's the reason why they do this.

However, Christine is the answer to that problem too. If Stevie doesn't want to record with Lindsey now, she would definitely record if Christine was going to be on the tracks. Quote:
Yet, Mick just got off of a solo tour. Who exactly does he think was going out to see him perform? It wasn't the people who only know the FM "hits." They know the focused fans are out there. I guess there are just so few of us, that we don't have enough money to make them care. Michele |

But I share your thoughts completely about this nonsense called "Unleashed" The name itself is so dubious, cliched and over-reaching. That said, I will probably see a show, but with full knowledge of them milking a dying cow. Who knows, maybe will penguins fly and they actually create an inspired, fresh approach and arrangement to their set.

Honestly, if this unlikely scenario were to happen, I think Stevie would fly out to Kent just to be Christine for a little while. And if that were the case, then John would probably HAVE to come, too.
