If the intent was simply to replace the guitar (and clearly it wasn't), they could have brought Mike in on his own. He is not a singer, so he would be there for instrumental purposes only, to play guitar on Stevie and Chris's songs.
However, they thought they could replace Buckingham's voice as well as his guitar. There, I agree, NEVER! Last edited by secret love; 06-27-2018 at 07:39 PM.. |

Because they're supposed to be a rock band. You can't be much of a rock band without guitar.

They can still rock without Neil, surely?

Fleetwood Mac has always been a guitar band. The band’s history is defined by who the guitarist was at a particular point in time: Peter Green, Bob Welch, Lindsey Buckingham, Billy Burnette, Lindsey Buckingham (reprise), and now Mike Campbell.

Sara with just piano and no guitar? Blech.
Or maybe you just meant no lead guitar. They'd at least need rhythm, which Christine could do. In fact, give Christine an accordion as well. Even better, just dress her up in one of those one-man-band contraptions that Dick Van Dyke wore in Mary Poppins. And Stevie could be in charge of piano duties. It'll be an evening you'll never forget--however hard you try!

This band needs guitar! Look at how lame "Rhiannon" has become without the guitar solo. |

Billy was the Neil Finn of that lineup.

I'd put Rick in there before Billy. And don't forget Bob Weston.

100% agree here. Reason S&L wound up in the band is because they were looking for a guitarist. I can't imagine a rock band without one. And yes, this band has been defined by all of their guitarists (rightfully so). Fully disclosure, didn't pay too much attention to the Rick Vito/Billy Burnette years, but I do believe if MC "sang" more---NF wouldn't be in this incarnation.

When I heard that he was joining, I checked out him singing with the Dirty Knobs. I thought he could have handled everything just fine and that they didn’t need another guitarist/vocalist. However, I was thrilled with the choice of Neil.

Neil wasn't really brought in for the purpose of guitar playing as much as because Mike doesn't sing. Mike was a done deal but they still would need a male lead singer since that's way too essential to their songs to lose.

Mike sings a lot like Tom Petty.

Is that meant to be a compliment?
