View Full Version : How To Properly "Unleash" Fleetwood Mac

Sure, Fleetwood Mac is going to be "unleashed" in a couple of months, but are they going to just "unleash" themselves, or be completely exxxxxxtreme? Here's some suggestions for the band, in case any of them are listening.
Install a camera on Mick's drumkit pointing directly at his face, and project the image on a 100-foot wide jumbo tron above the stage.
Replace John's bass guitar with Craig Huxley's Blaster Beam.
Have the USC Trojan marching band provide musical accompaniment to every song, only to be completely upstaged by Christine playing Songbird on accordion.
Rig Lindsey's guitar to shoot flames during Landslide.
For an extra $100, allow audience members the option of an emotion-manipulating headset, allowing them to more properly experience traumatizing feelings of love/hate.
Have Peter Green magically appear mid-concert in a puff of smoke, and perform a 93-minute long version of Black Magic Woman while the entire audience bitches about having to hear a Santana song.
Install giant teleprompters on the stage sides telling only the women to cheer during Stevie's songs, and only the men to cheer during Lindsey's.
Instead of the bloated Say You Will orchestra, replace them with a hilarious troupe of midget percussionists.
Replace tedious acoustic set with a searing 12-minute rendition of Thoughts On A Grey Day.
Perform several songs from That Album and some songs by That Guy and Whats Her Face, just so, you know, people don't forget about them.
Convince Stevie to wear clothes that make her look like a fabulous Grannie, but not too fabulous, and certainly not a Grannie trying to upstage Grandpa.
Execute anyone found laughing during Not That Funny - This Is Serious.
Bring Joe Walsh and Carol Ann Harris on stage to make up for any emotional tension that might have eroded over the past decade.
Take everything that SortaSavageLike says with the utmost seriousness; he understands several important aspects of naval architecture, after all.

I think someone beat you to the jumbo tron idea, because I have definitely seen many more gigantic, close ups of Mick's drumming face than is good for my health.
I like the Grey Day idea. It should be preceded by a long, emotional dedication to Mrs. Scarrot.

Maybe I would enjoy myself if Landslide did have flames. Hmmm.

I was thinkin about this, even though it started as a joke. I really think they should take savage's idea of the camera on Mick's drum... I also think that in order to properly unleash the mac they will need to get rid of some of the back-up crew... I would like to see them bring the set closer to the end of the stage and turn the volume sky-high!!! My last thought: MORE LIGHTS... I saw Stevie play this little venue in Detroit and the lighting was so fantastic that I got absolutely lost in each song. A total experience- I hope that they can really bring it this tour. THEY NEED TO... Cause if this concert in Auburn Hills goes well... we just decided that we would go to more.

I TOTALLY agree with the lighting. There was really good lighting on stevies last tour. It REALLY helps create atmosphere. They need to utilize it.:nod:

I was just lurking, but I had to respond to this. :laugh:
This is in very poor taste, but it is just a fantasy. For one night, Joe Walsh falls off the wagon with a bottle of Grey Goose, and is reminded that he used to be a ballsy guitar player in a great band (James Gang) before the Eagles sucked him dry.
THEN bring on Peter Green to do BWM (with Joe Walsh). Follow that with Walsh and Green jamming ala Boston Tea Party 2/70 ("Encore Jam", Buckingham included). If we can't have Danny Kirwan, this would do. Then the rest of the concert would be the normal setlist with the usual suspects. I know Walsh was brought up as a love triangle reference, but I couldn't resist. :D
I would pay large sums of money to see that. :blob2:
That was a pretty funny read....:laugh:

Here are some more.
Bring Bob Dylan on for a hour long debate with Stevie concerning who is more talented.
Bring on the Charles Daniels Band so that Lindsey and their guitarist can have a speed picking competition during the solo for "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".
Get John McVie to play Spinal Tap's "Bass Oddessy" wearing a Derek Smalls wig.
Lindsey to hold up signs saying "don't forget to thank me for arranging these songs" several times throughout the concert.

Too funny!!
How about a "young" FM featurning Lindsey Lohan as Stevie, Hannah Montannah as Christine along with the cast of High School Musical?
How about Stevie using a Segway rather than high heeled boots to equalise height?

And Buckingham should shave & clean up a bit. He's been sporting the scruffy-scrounge look for far too long now. I'd like to take that leather jacket & give it back to the cow who lost it, already. It's probably sticking to Buckingham's skin hair.

Lindsey does not wear the leather jacket in FM shows. He only wears it solo. For the SYW tour, he wore a light weight cotton shirt throughout the tour. Stevie probably doesn't let him wear leather. She probably said, "Who do you think you are? Come back Elvis Presley? Can't you just tone it down a bit?" These scathing comments hurt his pride, his self-esteem, his manhood, his everything.

The times when he only wore a Hanes underwear shirt, I thought he looked like Stanley Kowalksi in Street Car Named Desire.

THAT should be their concept for the videos for their upcoming singles that promote their upcoming ablum.

ANOTHER great music video concept!

It's hard out there for a pimp, y'all. :distress:
Bring back the giant hair, kimono shirt, and bizarre wooden sandals of yore, I say.

I think FM should play exclusively in Pentecostal churches, and during the guitar solo on "Sisters of the Moon," the entire congregation should bend over and start screaming in tongues on cue.

Perform Rumours in it's entirety backwards, and pass it off as new material.
Perform in whatever city is currently holding "Night of a Thousand Micks."
Chiffon, chiffon, and more...oh wait, that's too much chiffon.
Have Lindsey and Stevie swap songs and clothes halfway through each set.
Force the audience to listen to excerpts from the "Patron Saints of Pop" album as a test of their loyalty.

FM performs the 12" dub remix of "Big Love" featuring Lindsey and Stevie acting out the grunts live in suggestive poses.

Give 'em each 5 burritos and multiple servings of refried beans to eat pre-show...
Guaranteed to be "Unleashed" as the show starts (No smoking will be allowed at the shows to prevent major burns to fans from the combustible gaseous fumes coming from the stage - talk about major pyro!!!)

Can we stop quoting Bob Bruning?! The guy played on 1 FM album about 500 years ago and is still trying to make money off of his association to Mick and John. He's a blowhard! I read his book and it was like trying to read Tolstoy backwards in the original Russian!!!!
