new album next year?

[DavidMn]

Ok, Yes or no. Will the next Fleetwood Mac album be out next year? I say a RESOUNDING YES. I just feel that they're riding hot after SYW, and with the necessary break, and after Stevie finishes her Solo tour, they'll be right back at it. Here's hoping that whatever is in the future for Fleetwood Mac is as good as SYW. :nod:

[chiliD]

I say "no" to 2006; but, a resounding "YES" to 2007...which will be the band's 40th anniversary.

[SteveMacD]

What would be cool is if they had some of the past members make cameo appearances on the next album.

Interesting angle. Hadn't thought about that. I wonder if they'll have a gig on August 13, which if memory serves me right would be the 40th anniversary of their first appearance live at the Windsor Jazz and Blues festival in England.

Mick has said that he's working on getting as many former members of Fleetwood Mac as he can together for a big concert that would cover the entire span of Fleetwood Mac. How cool would it be to have that one jame with Peter, Welch, Lindsey, Vito, and Mason? :]

I LOVE that idea. :D I'd be there in a heartbeat for sure!!!

Yeah, he said that in 1992 also.

I predict the next FM album will be in 2012. :D

[diamondsnake]

Maybe they would start working on an album nexy year, but it wouldn't be released for several years if they haven't even begun working on it.

[catinthedark]

No way - no how. 2007 at the earliest.

I say no to 2006 mainly because I would rather have another Stevie solo first ( I may need to re-enter the Ledgie Protection Program after stating that in the Rumours thread.)http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/sad/666.gif I think she still owes one to her label. 2007 definately! :thumbsup:

[Hawkeye]

NO, no Stevie solo album please. Her work is so much better in Fleetwood Mac, and Fleetwood Mac should always be her first priority. That seems to be whats on her mind too.

I agree with that statement regarding some of her earlier work, but I do not think her "Say You Will" work was better than TISL.

[SteveMacD]

I dunno. Songs like "Say You Will," "Thrown Down," "Smile At You," and "Goodbye Baby" are among some of her best work ever. Really, the only songs that have stayed in my head from TISL are "Too Far From Texas" and "Sorcerer." TISL is a good collection in its entirety, but her SYW songs are great on their own.

[Hawkeye]

other then TISL and Fall From Grace, every single song on SYW is better then the best of TISL. To me all 9 of her SYW songs are masterpieces. her TISL dont even come close.

I would take POTU, TISL, Sorcerer, Candlebright, FFG, and Bombay Saphires, over SAT, RTG, SG, EFO, and SYW any day. To each their own I guess. :wavey:

[Kelly]

Mick has said that about former Mac members before too.

I say yes to touring in 2006. I dont think there will EVER be a new album.

Stevie did say that she thought they'd work together again. Why do you say no new album and just touring? :confused:

Stevie is touring right now without a new album, no?

The Eagles do it all the time. Taku as well as others have said they will tour for the 40th anniversary of Rumours starting next summer. (Taku said next summer...I guess that could change but I believe it) When Stevie says "working together" I do not think she means for one second "new album" , she means touring.

[The Nisse]

..the 40th anniversary of Rumours starting next summer.

1977...1987...1997...2007. 30 years, mate....not 40.

I think we'll see a new album and tour. They've always spoken of a 5-year run, which would most likely mean a new album. If they only mean touring, I would settle..

I think she meant the 40th anniversary of the band. And yes, Virginia, there was a band pre 1977. Who knew? :shrug:

[LikeAWillow]

I would definetly say yes to touring and a new album possibly in 07, but I wouldn't be surprised if SYW was the last album.

[Lee]

I think I read that somewhere Stevie said that she'd be out touring with the Mac within two years or in two years. I don't think she said anything about a new album, but you never know.

Lee :)

[dontlookdown]

i hate to be a nay-sayer but my thoughts are -

don't hold your breath.

what's more likely is -

some more re-issues, a stevie solo album, a lindsey solo album, the cd release of Buckingham Nicks,

and a possible Stevie/Lindsey album separate from Fleetwood Mac.

I think the whole Say You Will experience was exhausting for the band and I'm not sure any of them are interested in repeating it again.
Personally - I really liked the record, but I think the sales were disappointing for the band and the label. I'd love to see them get into more of an indie/self-release/website/mp3 mode and tour more frequently. But that's just me...

[SteveMacD]

I agree about the reissues. I think we'll see the rest of the "Rumours" era stuff remastered, as well as "Then Play On," "Kiln House," and maybe "Mystery To Me."

But, I SERIOUSLY doubt we'll see the CD release of Buckingham Nicks or a Buckingham Nicks II anytime soon. Stevie and Lindsey both know that anything they do will sell better with Fleetwood Mac than without Fleetwood Mac.
I think the whole Say You Will experience was exhausting for the band and I'm not sure any of them are interested in repeating it again.
I agree to a point. I doubt we'll ever see anything of that magnitude from them ever again. What I see happening is 40 dates a year, or every-other-year. A lot of older artists actually prefer this because it's a bit more informal, they get to see their fans more often, and they make more money in the end. Though, personally, I like David's idea where they do more "acoustic" tours, with Lindsey only playing acoustic guitars, Mick playing the coctail drums, and maybe John playing the double bass. And, just Stevie and Lindsey singing, no backing vocals.

[HomerMcvie]

and maybe John playing the double bass.
Does John play double bass? Because the two are apples and oranges. Just because you can play one, DEFINITELY doesn't mean you can play the other(at least without ****loads of practice). Double bass is far more difficult, IMO.

[SteveMacD]

I think he can play double bass. I recall that he actually plays slap-double bass when he's just playing around at home. So who knows? Also, there was that pic of him on the BTM CD booklet of him playing a double bass, but I never read anything into those.

I'll have to pull out BTM and take a look(I only play it about 1-2 times a year now :o ). A quick example of apples and oranges- mandolin and violin are exactly the same tuning, with roughly the same scale (length, in regards to fingerings). Most violin players (well, fiddle players, for the sake of my argument), can pick up mandolin, without a whole lot of effort. Visa-versa isn't true. Why? The magical fret! The cheater's dream. Perfect pitch isn't required. Just stick your finger between the metal, and you're in business.
Trust me from personal effort, playing anything fretless is a CHORE! I've been at violin (fiddle) for 5 years, with varied results! :lol:

[SteveMacD]

I hear ya! I played a double bass a few times, also with varied results. Actually, John COULD cheat and get fret markers painted on the neck of a double bass.

[Gailh]

I don't think we'll see another album but I do think they will do something for their 40th anniversary.

All members past and present could get together for a big bash (would Mick talk to Bob Weston? would Christine talk to Dave Mason?) they could sell tickets just to watch them fight! I'd buy one! :laugh:

:nod: I could get on board with this, even if they never have a new release!

I think the only Lindsey "solo" material we'll ever see will be a repeat of what happened last time...it'll be released as a FM album...if they, in fact, ever release anything again! :shrug: Sorry to be such a pessimist, but if there's still no word of a release date for a Lindsey solo album.... :shrug: Time's a wastin'! Of course, I'd still prefer that he do a solo thing, with a tour!

I'd love to see one too, but with his track resord for putting stuff out, plus the fact that his albums dont sell well, :( I think He'el be more inclined to listen to the record executives whispers in his ear about the Mac payout. It still pisses me off that a grea album like OTC sold fewer than 100,000 copies!!! :mad:

[mylittledemon]

I would like to see them fullfill Lindsey/Mick's original vision of a double album for 2007's 40th anniversary of the band.......along with a huge tour. I think that would be a good way for them to go out, since they're all gonna be about 60 yrs old.........and it would be too much to ask to hope Christine might be involved SOMEHOW.

I am holding out great hope for something like this, too. With, hopefully, participation from every member who is physically and mentally able. And then a big ass farewell tour!

(Which preferably never ends)

[SteveMacD]

Nah. Fleetwood Mac is too cool for the farewell tour thing. And, even if they say "this is it," it's not like they haven't individually said that before.

[chiliD]

I And then a big ass farewell tour!

Haven't they been doing those since 1982?

[nightbird28]

I predict and this is being really optimistic

2 more Stevie Albums maybe both studio maybe 1 live. because I believe reading before TISL was released she signed a 3 cd deal.

1 more Fleetwood Mac Studio album and maybe 1 more live one as well.
1 more DVD

1 more Mick Solo Cd

Lindsey I don't want to hold my breathe for it, but possible 1 more studio or maybe soundstage cd.

All of this within the next 5 years.

[golddustwoman77]

I'm predicting that the band will have a new album out in 2007, because there is usually a three to four year space between albums with them. 2003+4= 2007 I think that they will tour after. Then, after this project, we might see a solo project from Lindsey and Stevie, but I don't think that it will happen before. Lindsey is probably doing all this work right now on a solo album, and he will end up giving half the song to the new Fleetwood Mac album, unfortunate but true.
