At the Grammy's Fleetwood Mac will perform...

[Wayne2]

...uhm...I dont know. I dont even know if they will perform.

If they do, which song would you want them to perform?

I'm hoping they dont do Peacekeeper or Say You Will. I'd rather them do a song that has more energy.

I'm gonna go with Miranda.

[gypsysara]

Isnt the band going to be down under when the Grammy's are happening?

If not... my pick:

Running Thru The Garden

[ryan8472]

Hmmm, I'm not sure. The last time they were at the Grammys they did Rhiannon GYOW and Don't Stop, so they definatly wouldn't do those (if they even performed). I think that Destiny Rules is a good choice, and then Tusk.

[BlueGrass]

JUST LET LINDS DO BIG LOVE AND FINALLY SHOW EM ALL!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

a lot of times the Grammy's let classic groups do 2 songs so maybe THROWN DOWN and THE CHAIN

*nod* I like your picks, Chris, the best of yesterday and today :)

[MacMan]

Usually the Grammies are at or near the end of Feb, so unless they do like a live satelite from Australia to the show, I think the chances of them being there are pretty slim.

[mylittledemon]

Correct me I'm wrong on this one...but I think the only people that perform are people up for Grammies....and I dont think the big Mac is getting any nominations for this album. Don't get me wrong, I love Say You Will, but I don't see it happening.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

theyve had ppl perform that werent up for grammies ..Billy Joel performed in 2001.....he wasnt up for a Grammy....and they might very well get nominated...looked at all those Grammy's Steely Dan won...i had no idea who they even were and im like HUH? (of course i do know now)..plus if Stevie can get a nomination for TISL the mac has a great chance..

The Grammy's have been moved this year to early February so they will not coincide with the Oscar's which will be earlier than usual this year...so IF the mac is nominated they will be able to attend/perform....since they dont go to Australia till like Feb 16 and the Grammies will be Feb 6 i think

[MacMan]

That's interesting. I wonder if them taking January off and the beginning of Feb was part of the planning of the tour in case of Grammy nom's. I'm sure they have to take it into consideration, if there is any buzz in the industry that it's more than possible. I mean they all have said there are huge egos floating around.

Let's wait... Hope... And see.

[jwd]

I'd love to see them do "Beautiful Child". But given the fact that SYW will be up for a grammy I think it'd be more appropriate for them to do something from that record. So with that in mind, I'd think they'd opt for one song this time(which is what they wanted to do on the '98 grammies) and go with "Say Goodbye". It's a number Lindsey and Stevie both partake on and one they know from the tour. Please God don't let them do "Peacekeeper" or "SYW". We all know those songs do not come off well on television. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking and hoping for. :)

And who knows, if they are in Australia, perhaps the wrong visas will get them pulled off the stage and sent home in time for the Grammys.:cool:
I'd love to hear RTTG or Goodbye Baby with Second Hand News, but I could imagine them doing something lame like WTWCT.

[Cammie]

:o Say Goodbye... would be a good,
harmonious tune from The Album! :)
They did 5 minutes from three songs
at the 1998 Grammy's and I was MAD
they did not win! L & S were crying!:(

"Well, in brilliant colours...
You're running straight towards-
Straight towards-
What you know is REALLY, really wrong.....
Too many flowers....."

I hope...

[TwoTricky]

Ahhhhh...what the hell:D ...I'll toss "Everybody Finds Out" into the ring!!

[seteca]

Something like EFO would absolutely rock the house, but the chances of that happening is less than Elvis Presley arriving for a surprise performance.:rolleyes:

Realistically, I'd love to see NGBA and/or Say Goodbye followed by Tusk.

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Realistically, I'm betting on one Lindsey and one Stevie song. Compromise seems to be the motto du jour.

[riff_Shuffler]

I'm betting... god, SO hoping ... that Thrown Down will be the third single, in a month or two. They will start playing it on tour, it will become A HIT... and they will perform it on the Grammys.

Thrown Down is the song that the majority of the fans want. I've read this over and over again on the boards and other places. I wish that FM would wise up and listen to this. Also, the song was written during The Dance about Stevie and Lindsey's tumultuous (and legendary) relationship. Come on, it is THE song to get the attention that Say You Will (the album) needs...........

Maybe if we all WISH it into being ...wish REAL hard!!!

Josh

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I hadn't thought of SAY GOODBYE...That would be a great choice...it's one of the songs I think they pull off great live from this new CD.....

Chris

[tigermike68]

Steal Your Heart Away and Thrown Down would be nice Grammy choices.

[Livia]

Maybe if we all WISH it into being ...wish REAL hard!!!

This made me think of Seven Wonders...

Well, if I hope and if I pray
Ooooh, well they might release "Thrown Down" one day.....

Well, yeah, everyone needs a pee break. ;)

[dissention]

I seriously think the Mac needs to stay away from those goddam midtempo songs on live appearances. It makes them look like a band even older than they are and quite bland. They need to do what Stevie did on the Blockbuster Awards: strut out, play a really HARD ROCKIN' song that isn't a single, and watch everyone make faces of amazement. Thrown Down sure as hell won't do it and I think it's a BAD choice for live performances and radio. On the radio, it'll go over like a lead balloon. They need something upbeat, not some meandering, boring, listless tune.

JMO. :D

But Fleetwood Mac will probably just play "Peacekeeper" or "Say You Will" at the Grammys, & everyone will just think, "Old music. Old voices. Old farts. Get out of here."

[wondergirl9847]

Just let Lindsey do Come and bring all those lame-o Grammy folks to the brink of an "O".

:lol:

I understand your point -- the Stevie Blockbuster appearance was extreme and vibrant; it still makes me shiver with excitement! :nod: ;) When I think of Thrown Down, I think of them definitely turning it up a couple notches - ala the "Wall of Sound" outtake...

*However*, now that I've pondered this some more -- heck, bring on MURROW!!! Can't you just see Lindsey rockin' out as Stevie plays tamborine around the stage?! OK... add this to the EFO mention above. EFO and Murrow. We'll be seeing this. Yep. :laugh:

[~nightbird~]

FM at the Grammy's would be awesome! I think they deserve a three-song set (hey, a fan can dream) so here are my picks...


1. THE CHAIN-This one always gets the crowd going and STILL, after all these years, KICKS A$$!!!

***No alternative choice.

2. STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY-This song really showcases the harmonies that SN/LB have and that FM are known for.

***Alternate choice-realistically, they'd probably perform something safe (but a real crowd pleaser) like STAND BACK.

3. COME-OMG, this would ****** blow EVERYONE away! It would also shut up every critic who thinks FM is a rock dinosaur and prove they ARE a FORCE to be reckoned with!

***Alternate choice- ::the crowd gasps:: EVERYBODY FINDS OUT. This song would be incredible live and would show SN for what she is "The Queen of Rock".


If only I was producing the Grammy's... ::sighs::

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I think if they did just THE CHAIN...that would still be ok...technically it wouldnt be promoting a new album....but still
