Dave got back to me

[ryguy2010]

He said via twitter they confused the Stewarts!!! :) :)

[APerfectLie]

Whooooot! :]

[Sanne2]

Thank

!!!!!!!!!

[ryguy2010]

No problem. Pretty bad when i got twitter for the sole purpose of updates such as these!

[ryguy2010]

Correction and sorry. Was confused. He meant that he is not in fact going on Ellen :( Darn and sorry Board. The excitement and rush got to my head.

[CADreaming]

And, he still hasn't confirmed his tour plans.

[Sahara]

I'm confused now... so Rod will be on Ellen but not on her tour?

[TerraRhiannon]

I'm confused now... so Rod will be on Ellen but not on her tour?

No - so far he's said that he will not be on Ellen, it will in fact be Rod. :( I don't think he's said anything about who is touring with her yet.

[Christopher]

No - so far he's said that he will not be on Ellen, it will in fact be Rod. :( I don't think he's said anything about who is touring with her yet.

Who the heck knows? Can anyone decipher the twitter feed going on around Dave's page. It's a bit confusing. It reads to me as if Rod is a surprise for Dave as well:shocked: It would be STRANGE if Dave is hearing this 1st through Stevie's fans and not from the source herself!

Hahaha then I am assuming Rod and Stevie are on the show for COMPLETELY different reasons. If Stevie and Rod had anything in the works, I think Dave would know about it.

[ryguy2010]

His retweet to me "yeah they jumbled up the stewarts" Then he said to avoid the confusion as a clarifier that he would not be on Ellen. Assuming that he will still be touring with Stevie. Online communication can be hard to read at times.

@WelshWitchMuse don't worry I'll fix it ;)

[Christopher]

On a positive note regarding the new record Dave Stewart responded back to David Wild - who tweeted "Can't wait to hear which songs made the Stevie Nicks album. That's a non-subtle hint"

To which Dave S. replied "Ha yeah well we can't seem to decide as we love them all so they will all come out in one way or another ;)"

Gotta love that. Looks like we will get bonus material/B-sides on some format or another...

[RockALittle250]

Hold on a minute folks, he clarified it here:

@WelshWitchMuse @rycrockett no I don't mean the TV jumbled it up I mean whoever decided did , I'm not going on Ellen

Boy, I don't know. Sounds like Dave found out through Stevie fans/the media about the change in Stewarts. The least Stevie could have done was told him he was being thrown under the bus. I tell ya, with every year that passes the less and less I feel like supporting this woman.

Let's not jump to conclusions. Dave is a teaser and has quite a sarcastic streak in him, so he could be saying these things in jest.

Now, he did say he would not be on Ellen, which is a pretty strong confirmation, so who knows?

And i have to think, Warner Bros. and her management could have given Stevie an ultimatum: If you don't tour with who WE want, we will only spend X amount of dollars in promoting your album. With Tom Whalley out of the picture, Stevie has one less advocate in that company.

Exactly. Nothing seems to add up though ? Any way you slice it we have all gotten differen't answers?? He did say that 2011 would be full of surprises.

[BlueDenimLamp]

So I am apparently the one to open the proverbial "Can of worms"
I thought I'm could get an answer out of him as to who Stevie is touring with if I used a little psychology on Dave with the following tweet..."Dave,sorry to hear you're not touring with Stevie"... His response was "Who said I wasn't"?? My reply was "The rumour is Stevie is touring with Rod Stewart".. They are also appearing on Ellen...Is this true??? He has yet to answer...A simple Yes or no I will or will not be Stevie's opening act would quickly clear this up...But you know Dave he likes to keep us guessing...All this is in the "She's touring with" thread...

[RockALittle250]

Exactly. Nothing seems to add up though ? Any way you slice it we have all gotten differen't answers?? He did say that 2011 would be full of surprises.

Yea, almost makes me think that Ellen will open Stevie's segment with "and now, Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart!" and Dave will just pop out...this is all making my head spin! :confused:

[RockAlot]

WTF is going on here, I walk away for a few hours and this happens! :laugh: So, Stevie & Stewart, stay tuned in to find out who the winner is, Dave or Rod? :shocked:

[ryguy2010]

Very true. Plus Ellen was a Comedienne before she was a talk show host. Or Dave may come out as Stevie sporting a fantastic blonde wig and shawl ;) The possibilities seem endless.

This is batsh*t nuts!
The Ellen taping is four days away. I am guessing SN and Rod won't perform together on the show, or they'd be in rehearsals, and I would think there'd be a leak by now. For Dave not to have known and seemingly now not be involved with the Ellen taping makes me think we may not hear a new song at all next week.
It's all pretty interesting.
Means nothing, but I have replayed 'Annabelle Lee' twice today and keep thinking Rod is going to wind up singing on it on the cd, that it seems like a RS song! Means nothing.
I just wonder if 'Dave Stewart' wasn't a selling point in any tour negotiations, and someone said 'Rod Stewart, maybe' and it started there?

"Whozzz hoppening?" in my best Ricky Ricardo.

[Christopher]

Yeah, I just tweeted Dave that this whole situation with Rod blows...and he replied right away with "what can I say , not my choice !" and then he appropriately posted a song titled FRUSTRATION!:lol:

Why would Ellen have 2 musical guests on the same day though? Now that Dave has confirmed he will not be on the show and if Stevie and Rod are... they most likely will be announcing a tour together ala James Taylor & Carol King last year which was a successful hit pairing of 2010.

On to release date speculation, Dave just tweeted now his album will be out in MAY. And reiterated once again to a Stevie fan that her album is due late spring. So it's looking like MAY could be the month. So if that's the case Jan.13th does seem a little soon to be debuting a new song for an album 4 months away.:shrug:

Stevie is with WB, and they still control the ballgame, folks. This is why so many artists eventually go to a self-label or smaller privately-owned labels. I can tell you that WB does not see Dave as a big draw on the tour circuit. Rod is. It's all business at this stage. Stevie's creative say was in making the album.

We can't know everything -- or much of anything, based on 140 character tweets.

After the love fest Stevie and Dave have had over the last few months, I don't think she would abandon whatever their plans are without a heads up to him. I don't think she's done anything behind his back. If she was backing out of something or changing her mind about future plans she'd let him know. I think she values him a little more than she does Jana Anderson.

There is that good old saying, "All publicity is good publicity." Perhaps Dave is egging on the confusion to make the bloggers go wild with this whole story that was created out of nothing. Who knows? Because I agree, I don't think Stevie would abandon Dave in such a way. Especially with all he has done with connecting with her fans. Without Dave, I don't believe there would be really much interest in her new album at all.

@equeen1022 don't worry that is not her new album promo tour ;)

Hmm, this would lead me to believe that Rod is touring for his greatest hits album in Feb and March and Stevie is touring with him to make some more cash and then her album will be debuting in May. However, Stevie and Rod are on different labels, so it makes NO SENSE. Therefore, I say the rumours are BS.

Dude. Stevie & Rod are touring together because, in tandem, they'll (if all goes according to plan) pack the kind of venues that will enable them to earn their desired paychecks.

For package tours with veteran/nostalgia acts, labels don't mean anything. Its the promoter (almost entirely independent from the label(s)) that drive the road dates.

Good point. Perhaps I am terribly naive, but it just seems that WB is extremely controlling, and they would not let Stevie Nicks be the opening act for a Rod Stewart American Songbook Greatest Hits tour. The only way I could see it happening is if it was a coheadlining tour and Rod wasn't going to sing his American Songbook BS.

I can't see a tour between Rod and Stevie at all... They are just too different right now - and unless Rod skips his American Songbook promoting - like you said, which I doubt he'd do, and reverts back to playing his classics, they counter compliment each other... Imagine, Stevie opens the show, gets the audience all fired up with her Rock N Roll, only to then have the audience all sit down and listen to Rod come on and sing "Fly Me To The Moon" or "Moon River" for the next two freaking hours... Talk about a downer!

I'll believe it when I see some facts... We are taking a post from a Stevie fans friend as fact and running with it. Has anyone found any mention of a Rod/Stevie tour anywhere but here? And I can't see Stevie leaving Dave in the dark, or abandoning him... His speculated "frustration" may be derived from the fact that he isn't allowed to set the record straight until the time is right.

I'm so ready to throw my cards in and just give the f*ck up on this until we hear something on Ellen. This is taking up so much of my energy. Damn you, Stephanie....

Mmhmm. And now we wait.

That is going to kill me (and from the looks of it, plenty of others).

[Jondalar]

Why is Stevie going on Ellen if the album isn't out until late May? I don't get it.

[CADreaming]

Per this tweet, Stevie and Rod must be doing some kind of short tour? Maybe she's just doing this to gear up. Dave said this Rod deal is not for her new album:

Best idea I've heard since this all started, Dani. :nod: We'll know soon enough.

I'm gonna scream if she doesn't reveal this information. Because that will mean even more energy wasted trying to figure these things out, it is exhausting & I wanna go home. :laugh: If she doesn't reveal this information, it will be even more exhausting to hear all the complaining & bitching that she didn't say these things. :distress: lol

So I am apparently the one to open the proverbial "Can of worms"
I thought I'm could get an answer out of him as to who Stevie is touring with if I used a little psychology on Dave with the following tweet..."Dave,sorry to hear you're not touring with Stevie"... His response was "Who said I wasn't"?? My reply was "The rumour is Stevie is touring with Rod Stewart".. They are also appearing on Ellen...Is this true??? He has yet to answer...A simple Yes or no I will or will not be Stevie's opening act would quickly clear this up...But you know Dave he likes to keep us guessing...All this is in the "She's touring with" thread...

As soon as I saw your tweet and his response I was impressed with your "reverse psychology" method. :thumbsup::nod: This year is definitely starting off with some surprising bumps and twists and turns. I guess Dave was right about this being a wild ride. That's for sure.

[SandyMac]

I feel sorry for Dave having to literally do all the marketing so far.

Agreed. I mean when does a producer do all the promoting and marketing? Where the hell is WB in all of this? They should be the ones creating all the buzz via twitter or other promotions.

In regards to releasing songs earlier than the album, it happens, I read somewhere that Lady GaGa's new CD is being released in May I think and the single is being released in February I think. It is all done to get the word out.

I agree that I hope Stevie gives us some concrete info. and not beat around the bush.

yeah. you read what lady gaga tweeted and interscope amplified/retweeted and it got multiamped through other media from there. i have yet to see WB retweeting dave's tweets ;)

[michelej1]

I can't see a tour between Rod and Stevie at all... They are just too different right now - and unless Rod skips his American Songbook promoting - like you said, which I doubt he'd do, and reverts back to playing his classics, they counter compliment each other... Imagine, Stevie opens the show, gets the audience all fired up with her Rock N Roll, only to then have the audience all sit down and listen to Rod come on and sing "Fly Me To The Moon" or "Moon River" for the next two freaking hours... Talk about a downer!




Rod will sing some of his rock hits. He's not going to go totally Andy Williams on them.

This makes me laugh thinking of the comments Cher made about her Caesar's Palace audience. She said at first she was put off by the fact that they didn't really know any of her songs, but then she realized that this might be the last concert that some of them would ever see, given their ages. So, she decided to make it good for them.

But anyway, the same people Stevie turns on with Stand Back will get revved up by Rod's "Tonight's the Night," "You're In My Heart," and the inevitable "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy." He's not all euthanasia.

You obviously only read the first post and then responded, I suggest you read further before you praise Jesus any more.

i saw late night show where she said that (although i guess she may have been repeating the same story on different shows...) - she also talked about making a FB account and having to come up with another user name "because Cher of course was already taken":lol::lol:

When does a producer do all the promotion and marketing? When you are a glory hound like Dave Stewart .Dave loves the attention....

wow - why so mean?:shocked: not everything needs to fit somebody's conspiracy theory...

[MacMan]

When does a producer do all the promotion and marketing? When you are a glory hound like Dave Stewart .Dave loves the attention...He stands to make a lot of money off of Stevie...He is being paid to co/produce along with Glen Ballard...Then there are the Royalties...If he co/wrote 6 or so songs he will get songwriting royalties (Prince got 50% on Stand back) to keep production costs down he may have been offered royalties on album sales...Plus the more he can tie his record to Stevie's the better it is for him...Dave is doing ALL this for Dave pure and simple...Dave is going to ride the "Stevie Train" for all it's worth...I have no doubt that he intentionally caused a near riot on the Internet yesterday for the sole purpose of self promotion, I wonder how many twitter accounts he has??? Some of the tweets yesterday seem to only tweet Dave...Strange...I am going to go out on a limb here,but I don't think Dave is as responsible for everything as he would like us to believe...Stevie's wanted to make a new record since at least '05. Her "People" have talked her out of it...It's more profitable to have her out on the road...It will not surprise me if Stevie end up having to give Dave the boot like Tom Petty did back in the "Don't come around here no more" days...I'm sorry if I got off topic but it just seems like Dave is dangling a carrot (Stevie) in front of our noses...It's just getting slightly annoying...

Wow... You really are out on a limb here... Careful, you might fall off!

Dave has a vested interest in Stevie's project so why not promote it... Anyone in their right mind would! And I think he has a good handle on what's he's doing.. He's been in the game a long time. It's only getting "slightly annoying", cause you are letting it annoy you... It's your choice!

Or bicker mindlessly? :blob2::blob2:

And Bluedenimlamp, you make some very interesting points! I may just be ignorant (which is highly plausible since I'm a zombie chiffonhead and all), but I didn't know anything about Dave prior to this except that he is the guy in Eurythmics. I can't be the only one here that is like that.

[RockAlot]

Seriously guys, Stevie would not put her name with Dave's unless she wanted it there. Let's give Dave a break, shall we.

[CADreaming]

... but I didn't know anything about Dave prior to this except that he is the guy in Eurythmics. I can't be the only one here that is like that.

I'm with you on that.

nothing against bickering mindlessly.

but, mindlessly building a whole conspiracy theory about the man (because he didn't respond to your latest tweets yet BlueDenimLamp?) ... and then those speculations being passed on as actual info about that man's character, that's just not nice.

just sayin':shrug:

[Meowi]

I think Thursday will be the day some long awaited information will arrive, but at the moment Dave isn't obliged to say anything.

OMG now THAT was funny. :laugh:

Many of you had me laughing reading through this whole thread. Thanks - like Mary Poppins said, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." (Medicine being Rod Stewart touring with our Stevie).
