What about "Book of Miracles"?

I thought Lindsey re-sequenced SYW (and possibly made other tweaks) while the rest of them were in Hawaii, and that led to a big fight. I seem to recall Stevie making a comment about Lindsey front-loading the album with the really off-the-wall stuff (presumably tracks like "Murrow" and "Illume").

"I hear the islands calling
I hear angry words
Flying across the ocean
Like some seabirds... never stopping
I feel my blood racing
Can't believe what you are saying
I used to love you so much"

I've always wondered just what it was he said....

Exciting. I would love for the band to put out a new cd, or EP (prefer full CD though.) I only wish they would bring in a new producer and a great audio engineer. Lindsey and Stevie ofcourse have no shortage of new songs.......

But, as much as I love Lindsey Buckingham.....in my opinion "Say You Will" sounded like a Lindsey solo record, with special guest Stevie Nicks. It didn't mesh...the way it should have. It was 90% Lindsey style/sound, and 10% Stevie's style/sound. Great songs that could have done very well commercially had they been produced and mixed for todays radio. Stevie's demos for the songs on Say You will actually sounded better than the finished product...atleast from what they played on the Destiny Rules documentary.

Ridiculous.

Agreed. SYW is a mess.

It's very common for bands to release an EP prior to releasing an album (which inclues EP tracks in part or in total). So maybe the EP could come out BEFORE the tour. Then time off to put together the album proper and then another tour.

EXACTLY! No wonder Mick is so frustrated with these two!?!

Of course, it's all subjective. I think Lindsey did a great job with Running Through the Garden. He gave it a more modern sound and terrific guitar solo. However, on the other hand, he took the teeth out of Smile At You and made a fierce rocker into a boring adult contemporary snoozer. It's hit and miss.

APerfectLie · #69 07-23-2012, 05:03 PM

I've looked everywhere and I haven't seen a mention of this interview yet. Maybe I am blind?

"Ken said he then asked Christine why she wasn't playing anymore and she said she gets bored, her hands play the same things etc. He then went on to tell Michael that he produced Christine's last solo album (In The Meantime) back in 2005 and that he still has the tracks from that, and that there are 4 or 5 tracks off the album that were never used... So when he was talking to Mick, Ken suggested that the band replace the parts on the tracks with Bass parts by John, Guitar by Lindsey and Drums with Mick... and get Stevie and Lindsey on the background tracks... and that would be the first Fleetwood Mac group song(s)! Christine would love to do it said Ken... Mick said it was a good idea, but the problem is getting everyone to agree to it, and Ken just left it at that..."

I'd rather they produced a song with Christine, rather than putting FM members on pre-existing tracks.

so with you on Lindsey's DR guitar parts!! they make the song - just gorgeous

Fannymac · #72 07-23-2012, 05:59 PM

Remember when they recorded the white album in four months?!?

There are some holes here....I sure can't see Stevie just going in and adding backing vocals to eight of Lindsey's songs.....they would have to do an equal number of her's, or close to it!
And everyone seemed to pretty much be in agreement....if there was a new album. it would be with an outside producer.

I don't think finding a label would be a problem,,,,,I'm sure Interscope (among others!) would be happy to have them! At the same time, no one ~ band or label ~ is going to want to just toss it out there, particularly A) the first release for a new label, and B) the album that could be their swan song!

This is promising....but I don't think we'll see anything in 2013!

TrueFaith77 · #73 07-24-2012, 07:16 AM

Outside Producer: Andrew Dawson. He's young and fresh--an engineer on Kanye albums (for which he's won 3 grammys) and on the new fun. album. In order to get that "California sound"--the Pet Shop Boys employed him to produce their new album Elysium.

This is why Stevie can't just walk in the studio after everyone else has been working on the album for months. If she wants an album to have 50% of her sound, then she should be there for at least 50% of the making of the album.

I still don't ever see this happening. I don't see her flying out here to Los Angeles, and/or I don't see LB flying over there to record... I seriously don't see Lindsey ever letting FM strip down one of her tunes and building it back up with FMac on it.

I just don't see Linsdey doing that.
