Dang it.
I had to disassemble my tv last night as I'm in the process of moving. I won't have access to a tv until I get hooked up in my new place on Sunday. :( I hope someone here can post a video of this.

(Please, with sugar on top?)

I'm guessing they'll be asked if there is a possibility of another studio album, as well. That's a pretty standard question for bands.

It's all starting to happen! :D

Also, do we know which hour? That show is on for three hours. That's a lot of DVR space. I checked my guide and the info didn't say anything about Fleetwood Mac. So I guess I'll be doing a lot of fast forwarding.

I'm watching on the west coast. Nothing in the first 7 minutes. But I'll keep my eye out.

03-26-2014, 09:32 AM

Ok, I just saw the video. It was an old Rumours photo, followed by footage from 2003-2013, to a current photo op showing all 5 members. Nobody was photo shopped and they were all together. Looked like NY to me, but it was really really quick.

jbrownsjr

I don't know. But someone said it looked like they were in NY, so probably not. If they were on satellite, maybe we could see a glimpse of them before they were on air. That would be so wonderful.

They discuss that they wanted to break up, but decided to photo shop everything. The album, the photos, even the tour will be done with Virtual Reality glasses.

you can never tell but typically the first hour is pretty straight up news; second hour more of the fluff and cooking segments and etc…. and the third hour is mostly all fluff. So likely not in the first hour, but:shrug:

'On With The Show' is one of the unreleased song titles Lindsey has registered with ASCAP. Before the 2013 tour, a Ledgie posted a list of unfamiliar song titles they found on the ASCAP website registered in Lindsey's name, and this was definitely one of them.

Its work ID is 885050151 https://www.ascap.com/Home/ace-title-search/index.aspx

The little interaction between Christine & John brought tears to my eyes ("Thank you, Love").

Yes, the standard topics were discussed, but it felt like so much more than just the standard interview. Carson Daly said something about balance being restored to the universe now that the band is back together -- and, boy, was he right.

Oh, and the Mac will playing Rockefeller Plaza for the Today Show on October 9th. :)

Just watched the interview. It was the usual information. Nothing Earth shattering. Except, Christine thought that they had gotten rid of her pianos and organs, and Stevie has been storing them at her house. Stevie said her house looked like she was having an estate sale (with all the pianos and organs). :laugh: Also, they are playing the plaza on the Today Show on October 9......yea!

Christine McVie is rejoining Fleetwood Mac

http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/streams/2014/March/140327/2D274905480014-today-fleetwood-mac-140327-06.blocks_desktop_medium.jpg

Forget the "Rumours," and "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)." It's true: After 15 years, Christine McVie is rejoining Fleetwood Mac. McVie and the band confirmed the news with Carson Daly on TODAY Thursday.

When asked if she was rejoining the band, McVie didn't hesitate. "I think that can be said with a definite capital 'Yes,'" she said.

McVie also revealed for the first time why she stopped touring with the group years ago. "I had a fear of flying," she explained. "I hadn't flown for 15 years."

Bandmate Stevie Nicks thought at the time that the group had seen the last of Christine. "She had us all seriously convinced that she would never come back," Nicks said.

But McVie did join her former group onstage in London last fall to sing their famous number, "Don't Stop." It was an emotional experience. "Walking out in London was sensational," she said.

Her bandmates agreed. "I had to get the Kleenex out," said Christine's ex-husband John McVie.

"All of us were very moved, you know. Very moved," said Mick Fleetwood.

Just a month after the onstage reunion, emotions ran high again when the band announced that John McVie had cancer. He told Daly he was "gettin' better," and now undergoing "chemo, basically. ... I'm out and about."

It's been a long, strange trip for the band. "At the beginning of 1975, I was a waitress and a cleaning lady," Nicks recalled. "When we came home from the tour, Lindsey (Buckingham) and I were almost a millionaire together."

But the band famously went through emotional turmoil, though Nicks said it did not affect their music. "When it was very bad, when Chris and John were breaking up and when Lindsey and I were breaking up, what we did not do was we did not take the horribleness into the studio."

Their massive success took its toll on their romantic relationships. Nicks and Buckingham said one song in particular, "Landslide," takes them back in time. "That was written at a time when there had been a breach in trust, probably from both sides," Buckingham said. "And, you know, we were still together. But it was one of the first things that kind of heralded the beginning of the end of our relationship."

But the band's way of expressing their passionate ups and downs through music allowed fans to relate to them even more. "People could buy into us and our stories," said Buckingham. "They could identify with us. They could care about us as people, and it also fueled the music in a subjective, powerful way."

All five members of Fleetwood Mac will be back on tour later this year, including a special TODAY concert on Oct. 9.

They got greedy lol. Toronto is $199 plus fees for 1 ticket ($217.75) That might hurt sales, as they just toured last year, and I don't know how many markets will pay that price if they are all that expensive. Hope they add Ottawa.

I find it so incredibly interesting that Stevie STILL has cold feet about recording....even with Christine involved!

My theory...maybe she's trying to ease up the pressure with Christine, let her get settled in and comfortable with the studio and getting her chops back and then she (stevie) can come in with her songs. She's very protective of Christine, maybe she's just trying to give her and them space. Maybe she figures, let them get good and warmed up and then I will come in and we can knock out a couple of my songs. Stevie is a lot of ego and I think she knows that. She also probably doesn't want a lindsey and stevie fight within the first week Christine is back with the band in the studio.

that surprised me too, and annoyed me as well. What is Stevie's issue these days with the studio? Or is LB's presence that gives her the willies? Whatever it is, she needs to get over it!! Stevie talks endlessly about HER band. She needs to be put her money where her mouth is and be part of HER band!!

Yes. For forty thousand dollars you can pilot Mick's private plane from the city of your choice to the next city's gig. Pilot experience not necessary. You will depart the plane with a case of wine compliments of the MF private collection.

There's a VIP Package Presale that starts Monday and a couple of ther random presales (Amex, mobile app, Facebook) that start throughout the first week of April.

Anyone know what the VIP Package is? I'm assuming it wi cost a ridiculous amount of money.

Hopefully it's something similar to the VIP Experience last go round! It was pretty great - a lot of pressure off since you're guaranteed front row. Well worth the money, IMO.
I would assume we will get more details on that soon, and it should be up and running on Mick's website on Monday when all the other presales happen.

EDIT: The one I'm talking about is through Mick Fleetwood's official fan club. I don't know about the Ticketmaster VIP Package.

I think the chances are pretty good they will release a DVD of the show, especially with Chris back and the fact that the last two tours have not been filmed.

Well this is great I suppose if you're keen on seeing The Dance again (personally, I have the DVD). Not trying to spoil anyone's excitement - just expressing my own disappointment that they have nothing to say about an album.

Concerts are fun, but they are a one-time event. Albums last forever. Albums can be played for your kids. Albums allow you pass the love of a band on to the next generation. To me, no album release might as well be a statement that says 'we have nothing worth offering but that which has come before' and that's, well, that's sad.

Yes I was hoping for a Atlantic City date myself but it would suck to go there in the fall or winter.I dont gamble and dont want to stay inside smoky casinos all day .I just love walking the boardwalk and sight see there.

I will atlease catch one show of this tour this fall since the tix will be so high plus worrying about driving in bad weather and unless they will continue in 2015 for a summer tour.

It would be nice to see Chris in the flesh behind her keyboards again .

That was great that Stevie stored her keyboards for her.She made me LOL when she said her place looks like estate sale.

Mick looks like he has lost weight as well as John. You see it in their faces first, just like with Al Roker.

As for John, I am glad he has some months to rest, hopefully. If they tour in September, maybe he won't have to start rehearsing until July and can take it easy. He may sit on stage, but 3 hours is a long time, either way.

I'm glad he got to speak, even if it was only briefly.

For the shows I went to, you weren't guaranteed first row, but at least you were guaranteed a specific seat and you got to find out what it was before you made the purchase. With Livenation the tour before that, they wouldn't tell you what seat you got until you were at the show.

After 17 years, I am keen on seeing The Dance again and the DVD doesn't compare to the live experience, in my book. Didn't then and doesn't today.

But I was disappointed we didn't hear about an album. I'm worried now. I think there will be new music, but now I'm concerned it may just be another EP and that is a little crushing.

Deeshere

03-27-2014, 01:32 PM

I love, love, love this interview. It's so nice to see them all together and getting along. My only complaint is that it's way too short. :(

I think it's so sweet that Stevie kept all of Christine's pianos and amps for her at her house just waiting for the day that Christine would come back home to the band. I know it took longer than anyone thought it would to happen, but now Stevie can give Christine back all of her stuff, so Stevie can finally move freely around her house again. :laugh:

Not trying to start anything but I do have one question. In the write up of the interview (it was cut from the video) it says this:

Their massive success took its toll on their romantic relationships. Nicks and Buckingham said one song in particular, "Landslide," takes them back in time. "That was written at a time when there had been a breach in trust, probably from both sides," Buckingham said. "And, you know, we were still together. But it was one of the first things that kind of heralded the beginning of the end of our relationship."

I've seen Stevie recently come out in an interview and admit that she wasn't' faithful to Lindsey when they were living together, but I've never seen Lindsey (or anyone else) say Lindsey was ever unfaithful to Stevie while they were still together.

So does anyone know what" breach of trust on both sides" Lindsey's talking about or do you think that maybe this is Lindsey's way of saying that when he and Stevie were living together he wasn't completely faithful too her either?

I am ok with a Dance revisit, too. The band cancelled their Raleigh, NC show which I had tickets for back in '97. Since I was 15 at the time, I couldn't convince my parents to drive further to see the band. So I've never seen the full Rumours lineup. I'm generally averse to these greatest hits cashgrabs, but this may be my only chance to see Christine. So I'm going to go see them this time around. :)

That raised my eyebrow as well. Perhaps he was referencing the fact that Stevie admitted she cheated on Lindsey because Lindsey himself never trusted Stevie- and in turn, that was what drove her to be unfaithful. He also could have retaliated in turn. Or he could have been transferring his distrust of Stevie from himself- meaning, he was the one cheating to begin with. Who knows... they were both so young, and it was the swinging '70s.

Well this is great I suppose if you're keen on seeing The Dance again (personally, I have the DVD). Not trying to spoil anyone's excitement - just expressing my own disappointment that they have nothing to say about an album.
I don't necessarily disagree about wanting a new album, but, I think it's totally worth it to spend $65 to see a band that hasn't been around in full for 16 years.

Concerts are fun, but they are a one-time event. Albums last forever. Albums can be played for your kids. Albums allow you pass the love of a band on to the next generation. To me, no album release might as well be a statement that says 'we have nothing worth offering but that which has come before' and that's, well, that's sad.
Completely disagree. Concerts can be life-changing experiences. I know from personal experience. Even if there is video from years past, it doesn't change being in the present. Anyway, we know they're recording. There will be new material, eventually. It wouldn't surprise me if they played some new songs on tour.

That raised my eyebrow as well. Perhaps he was referencing the fact that Stevie admitted she cheated on Lindsey because Lindsey himself never trusted Stevie- and in turn, that was what drove her to be unfaithful. He also could have retaliated in turn. Or he could have been transferring his distrust of Stevie from himself- meaning, he was the one cheating to begin with. Who knows... they were both so you, and it was the swinging '70s.

I also think 'trust' can be many things besides just fidelity. In recent times Lindsey has said more than once that Stevie is "learning to trust me again" as a friend etc. You need to trust that the one you love is there for you, in your corner, and that you can count on them to rally you when you are down, to encourage you and support you in your work etc. And clearly, at least from what Stevie has said, Lindsey could be rather harsh and cutting in his criticisms of her work and other things…. so who knows what the breach might have been. He admits to holding onto her too tightly and being too controlling and certainly that seems related to fidelity but who knows what else. His controlling behavior as you say was a factor in her wanting to get out of the relationship but maybe part of that was just needing room to breathe. "you may take my hand/you who demand so much"

After 17 years, I am keen on seeing The Dance again and the DVD doesn't compare to the live experience, in my book. Didn't then and doesn't today.

But I was disappointed we didn't hear about an album. I'm worried now. I think there will be new music, but now I'm concerned it may just be another EP and that is a little crushing.

Michele

I saw The Dance live, and the point I was making was that this is just a repeat, only they're all older and less energetic and have far less to prove to the world than they did back in '97.

I am happy for everyone who's happy, but I decided on the SYW tour that I wouldnt' see them again until they toured behind a new album.

KarmaContestant

03-27-2014, 03:34 PM

I am ok with a Dance revisit, too. The band cancelled their Raleigh, NC show which I had tickets for back in '97. Since I was 15 at the time, I couldn't convince my parents to drive further to see the band. So I've never seen the full Rumours lineup. I'm generally averse to these greatest hits cashgrabs, but this may be my only chance to see Christine. So I'm going to go see them this time around. :)

Best of luck! I hope you get great seats. They do all sound amazing together.

Yes, they can, but they are still one-time events. You can only relive it in your head, an album can be experienced over and over. Albums can also be life changing events. Look at everyone who is on this forum because of albums.

Hopefully it's something similar to the VIP Experience last go round! It was pretty great - a lot of pressure off since you're guaranteed front row. Well worth the money, IMO.
I would assume we will get more details on that soon, and it should be up and running on Mick's website on Monday when all the other presales happen.

EDIT: The one I'm talking about is through Mick Fleetwood's official fan club. I don't know about the Ticketmaster VIP Package.

I must have missed the interview where Stevie admitted she cheated on Lindsey. This is why I take everything she says with a grain of salt. She insisted for years she never cheated on him, (e.g. "I never shacked up with anybody when I was with him!")

I will be SHOCKED if an album actually happens. It took forever to do SYW. Even if they are able to persuade Stevie to record, it will not be a big part of the set list. They are going to play old songs and it's fine with me. Their catalogue is deep enough to do old songs in a fresh set list.
Really? They're recording at the most expensive studio in the region. The one they basically built to do "Tusk". Do you think they're making Taco Bell ads there?

Not one person in the band has definitively said anything about an album. They are recording. Stevie hasn't done anything or committed to anything as far as an album goes. Mick even said "we're not sure" about Stevie. The tour has been announced so clearly it is not contingent on a new album or new songs. I am saying one has little to do with the other.

My guess is that they are in there at Village trying to still convince SN to do it. They are probably getting some of Chris's songs together to show Stevie that this is worth doing and to get on board. We'll see if it happens. This is not a band that records quickly.

Johnny Stew

03-28-2014, 12:59 PM

Not one person in the band has definitively said anything about an album.

Lindsey told USA Today:

"The next album will be a mix of things. We've done some strange things with one of Christine's songs already. It's going to sound like Fleetwood Mac but not overly retro. It's not that we're making any bold effort to sound like somebody else. Some of what we've done in the past has reference points that have come back, and what might have seemed retro is more relevant in today's market."

Christine told Rolling Stone:

"Well, the plan is we’re going to start rehearsing in July and go on the road in September. The tour starts in Chicago and we head west and come back east again, finish at Christmas and pick up end of January and complete America and we can do the world, really. And there’s a studio album somewhere in the mix too. We’re playing around in studios now."

I think it would be swell if a new album came out. It is only a matter of time. From all the speculation, it seems like another Tango In The Night-type of setup. Hopefully it's not, but I guess we'll see. And hey, that would make for an intriguing dynamic to have Christine and Lindsey versus Stevie and Lindsey. I really am looking forward to these "strange things" with one of Christine's tunes. I also think it would be great if they performed "Friend," although I have to wonder if they're going to scrap playing any of their solo songs now that Christine has returned.

That being said, the interview was cute - all those sixty-year-olds and one seventy year old cuddled up. Someone earlier a few pages back said that they hate each other, and I think it's obvious they don't.

They didn't just play old songs on the Dance, or even this last tour. I think there will probably be 1 new song per songwriter. Lindsey also suggested each songwriter will also be pulling out lesser known songs from their classic albums, too. So I'm guessing we'll be getting to hear more album tracks along the lines of Storms, Beautiful Child, etc.

Yeah, they aren't saying "well, we've done a few things, but we're not sure what will come of it" which is pretty much what they said about the EP. They're actually referring to it as the next album. Seems pretty definitive to me. It'll happen eventually. They say they've talked about plans for the next few years. They're not just going to go on tour after tour without new music.

Well, if they don't put out their new album out before this new tour, then this will be the 3rd tour in a row without new music. So apparently they are doing it.

And from these articles that came out in the last day or so, it seems the setlist will essentially be the same as the dance, and out of 29 or so songs maybe 6 the most will be different.

I mean touring one after the other. Not touring and then breaking for a few years. They say they've discussed the bands plans for the next few years and I can't imagine going to go on one tour after another after another for the next few years without releasing something.

They can always justify touring after taking a few years off, but I don't think they can justify constant touring. This tour likely wouldn't be happening if not for Christine. She's the justification this time.

I still do wonder what the purpose of this tour is, exactly. They don't have any new material to promote yet, and they just toured behind the oldies last year. Is this tour to reintroduce the world to Fleetwood Mac with Christine again? Are they priming Christine for a full return with touring as the first step? Are they building interest in the band again so they can release the studio album? Is this all just a wind up for one last mega 2-3 year tour-then-retirement cash infusion? It's all just a bit odd to me.

I'm glad I started recording at 7am. I was surprised they had the interview that early on the show.I figure after 9:30am.

They were playing FM tunes and video clips on some of the intros and outros up the the interview

Dam NBC Today Banner is blocking a good portion of the interview, nevertheless here is the you tube URL:

They are being vague because there is no direction or commitment by all members. I would be excited if they were all talking about it and seemed into it.

I don't think using the word "mix" to refer to the format of the album, but rather musically what they're doing with the songs and how they sound. If you use the context of surrounding sentence that's what sounds like.

well, but let's face it, she probably knows full well they would't actually record without her so not sure how effective that kind of bluff would be with her.

It doesn't sound like Christine's material is anywhere near ready for proper recording; it sounds like she and Lindsey are still sorting through her tapes of rough demos and bits and pieces figuring out which he thinks can be turned into something….and then figuring out what that something is. I can't see the need for really any of the other 3 to be hanging around for that. Personally I have a hard time imagining John hanging around for hours while that stuff is worked out. He hates that part during the healthiest of times.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie waits to see/hear what the more realistic set of possible Chris tunes turns out to be and what Lindsey has on the docket from his own stuff so she can decide what she thinks she wants to do. It's still early days, especially for this group that takes forever to do anything under the best of conditions.

An English teacher might call it an unclear antecedent. "Onward With The Show We Were Touring On Until John Got Sick and Christine Decided To Come Back Show. "OWTHWWTOUJGSACDTCBS"

I'm not debating anyone, I guess I was just making the point that it sounds like there's a lot of Christine/Lindsey one-on-one time going on to sort things out (from her own description she has a lot of pieces that aren't at all complete songs that they would working together writing more music/words to make into full songs.) That may or may not *require* a lot from the others just yet. I agree Mick is likely around for a lot of that because a)he's Mick and he likes the social interaction and b) as you say, his musical input may be useful. :shrug:

Yeah but few months ago Christine said she wrote like 7 new songs and about 3 of those are fully fleshed demos others more rough. So they probably don't have to work on her extra songs but since they booked studio time... I'm just speculating.

And she's probably saying to them that she might tour with David Grohl, which they don't believe she will do either. But I just imagine threats (effective or not) are being tossed back and forth.

It's like in Destiny Rules, she said she might not do a full tour. Lindsey said he might take his masters and leave. Both of them were bluffing. Eventually they compromised.

Regarding FM, do they need in her in the studio now? No. But I'm sure they want her there, whether they need her or not, they don't take it kindly when she's not around. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, etc.

Yes, they said John came in and put down some bass lines already.

While Christine has described in the past how Stevie would hang around being a pest because she wanted to sing and they weren't ready to sing and they had to say "not yet" to her, I think her being there helps with the song arrangements. It's like SYLM which they mentioned on the Today show. Christine (gooseflesh) has always described how she walked in with that song and Stevie and Lindsey just began singing harmonies automatically. It was instantaneous. And that kind of magic happening is what they want Stevie for. It's like taking a balloon and blowing it up so it is full and buoyant, creating something out of nothing. Hearing all 3 of them working on something, sounding it out, probably helps form a song and then once the structure is there, then she can disappear, while they work on the music.

She probably knows full well they would't actually record without her so not sure how effective that kind of bluff would be with her.

Mick somewhat threatened to go 'On with the show" without Stevie during her IYD days...Remember when Mick was talking about the possibility of "The Men Of Mac"...

The phrase "on with the show" is curious because it's usually said when you've experienced some kind of setback and you plan to forge ahead, despite the hardship. I guess that could refer to John. They canceled shows. He got treatment, is recovering and now "on with the show."

It's just with Christine's return I would expect some kind of title that was more exuberant and revitalized and less stoic.

BombaySaffires' t-shirt guesses (that the words might be "was saying") reminded me of a Jack Paar story. He, talk show host, got mad and walked off of the Tonight Show abruptly. He returned 3 weeks later and started off with "as I was saying" as if the 3 week interruption had never occurred and he was just completing the sentence that he had began before he left.

Now, it's funny to think of that in the context of Christine, like she went away in 1998 and just picks up and carries on as if no absence ever happened.

I wonder if the current recording might be centred around Christine because she isn't planning on remaining in the States until rehearsals begin in July? It might be that she only has a limited period of time in which to record and then the focus will turn to Stevie thereafter? It is also likely that Stevie is preparing material and doesn't wish to be rushed. I just hope that she isn't intending upon bringing "pop" songs to the table. I want her to be strange and esoteric - leave the lightweight stuff to Chris and Lindsey. Speaking of which, I suspect "Sad Angel" will be included on the eventual album, albeit with Christine in the mix.
I would prefer that no consideration be given to a tour until an album is completed, but am realistic about the band members' collective greed. On with the show indeed...

she used to have a green card i believe? so that would expire because she has not been in the US every 6 months since she moved back to the UK.

but she's an old woman, plus a millionaire, those kinds of people get tourist visas that last for months and years without any problems. of course, since she's actually working here, i don't know what kind of visa she would need.

but she may have taken the US citizenship at some point, and i fully suspect she has. if she has dual citizenship (i'm guessing that's what Mick and John both have) than she can come and go as she pleases. :D

I know that John and Mick are duals (as am I) but not sure on Chris. The US requires all citizens to file tax returns so citizenship not always worth it if planning to move back home (the UK doesn't do this). There is a special entertainer visa that musicians, actors, etc get for work over here so I would imagine she has something like that.

I have never ever heard of a character of person named Mayor McCheese, but do know that Ronald McDonald is the McDonald's mascot. Although when there was no relevant context, "that red headed feller" didn't make me think of any one person, certainly Ronald McDonald did not suddenly spring to mind.

Tour sponsorship? I'm guessing, only because of what you've just written, and because you bolded "Mc" that your original post was a reference to Mick Fleetwood. When I first read it, all I took "Tour sponsorship finito" to mean was "Tour sponsorship over, finished" (finito being Italian for finished eg 'Ho finito il mio compito ieri.'). I didn't have any reason to believe that a name should be attached to the phrase "Tour sponsorship finito".

And now I'm actually quite confused as to why it should have been so obvious that this depth of meaning was implied in your simple, plain English post.

Oh, was it? What an idiot I am. I was under the impression it was a DAY of SEPARATE interviews, actually. Certainly, they weren't holding hands the entire time (or even every taped interview ala Spinner, FUSE) as there's plenty of times where we see him reach for HER hand, or her put her hand on HIS wrist, etc. The Rolling Stone interview even mentions them holding hands. I especially enjoyed when we could see one of Stevie's fingers moving, stroking his hand as it was in his. Very sweet.

Buckingham, drummer Mick Fleetwood and singer Stevie Nicks recently gathered for interviews in a huge, wood-paneled room at the Village Recorder, a legendary recording space in West Los Angeles. More than three decades earlier, the band spent 13 months there making the 1979 double album Tusk, the surprisingly experimental follow-up to Rumours. "We have a connection with this building like we have with nothing else," said Nicks. "It’s hallowed ground." At the interview Nicks and Buckingham held hands, Fleetwood sitting beside them as votive candles flickered around the room.

Haha!! Quit gettin' the shippers all riled up!!

Can I ask if you find pleasure in it, as saying things like that just make it worse? Some people seem to and I don't quite understand - I've seen rather obvious attempts at provocation and I'm unsure as to the reasoning behind it. I fear I'm becoming more and more defensive just because of the way BN 'shippers' (can this word be retired as I HATE the negative connotations others use it with?) are often spoken about with quite blatant condescension because they're 'being fooled' or being gullible, etc. I'd be quite happy to leave threads as they are - comments I disagree heartily with and all - except that people seem to keep having a little dig here or a little dig there. Yes, I'm overly sensitive to it but it seems unnecessary, to be honest.

i know this may be news to some, but Lindsey seems to be a happily married man. i didn't see anyone implying he's "into Christine" or her being into him other than having highly respectful musical partnership.

Ha! It's news to no one and I don't know many who would dispute it. He's certainly married and he's certainly happy, that's for sure! Slight distinction there but anyway, moving on... I sometimes find this 'Lindsey/Christine' thing a little odd myself, only because it seems pretty clear out of all bandmembers Lindsey and Christine kept in touch the least in her absence and I don't feel anything more than platonic affection and musical respect there at the best of times. I mean, the handkiss and handhold are cute and all but when SnL do it, it's often used as a stick to metaphorically hit them with - 'oh, it's planned! they're faking! they're playing it up for shippers! etc'. Isn't that the case here too? Or is it merely a genuine expression of their affection and respect when it comes to Christine and Lindsey, instead of a planned interaction which was played that way because they were aware of having a large audience and wanting to portray themselves a certain way in their first big interview? Forgive the cynicism but...

Some people don't get the concept of plutonic friendships.

MICK AND LINDSEY ARE LOVERS!!!

What about platonic ones, though?

Really, though, it's in the eyes of the beholder in this case, isn't it? Some people see Lindsey flirting with Christine while others don't and see sibling affection at best. Some people see Lindsey look at Stevie with more than platonic affection while others see a purely collegial, friendshippy vibe at best. Also, just because one reads flirting or love into an expression or interaction doesn't mean a fan leaps to 'OMG! SECRET AFFAIR! SQUEE!'. There are all kinds of variations, for example, in what BN 'shippers' think the SnL relationship IS or WAS or WILL BE. It's not a homogenous group with a single viewpoint along the lines of 'we'll believe whatever they tell us! and read too much into every interaction! and think lindsey's pining away for stevie and unhappy at home' etc. MOST people come to their conclusions from more than two single pieces of information or a few pictures or believing two quotes while ignoring the rest, in fact, so saying it's similar to that Lindsey/Mick situation above doesn't really fly. Especially as there's zero evidence either of them are anything but heterosexual, tbh. :D

Quite simply, we like to goof around and joke about FMac. If you could just dial it back just a notch and join the fun, you'll see it all in a different light.

Forgive the cynicism but...

personally i would never think deeply of touching, hand-holding, hugging and kissing between band members because as far as i can tell with Lindsey he's extremely touchy-feely person and warmth like that seems to come naturally to him, with various people. on the other hand, any of the band members would have to be blind and deaf not to notice audience roars whenever Stevie and Lindsey interact on stage and they definitely play up to it and bask in it, regardless of their personal affection for each other. so it's not inconceivable they'd play up their interactions in interviews or that hand-holding last year was pre-planned. either way, now we can enjoy different very recent photos which actually belong in this thread - screencaps from today show on 3/27. i don't really see how all these pics from a year ago you re-posted are relevant, frankly, other then both sets of photos show there is warmth and affection between band members.

now, in that today video do i think kumbaya hand-holding of the whole band was pre-planned? you bet! was Lindsey and Christine hand-holding pre-planned to show everybody that all the talk about bad blood between them is bs and they want it to stop (if they ever even heard of such rumors)? possibly. was Christine grabbing and kissing his hand pre-planned? didn't look like it to me, he even seemed a bit caught before returning the kiss.

but i think in general all the band members (with perhaps the exception of John) are pretty affectionate people and all the hand-holding and hugging comes pretty natural to them. human interactions and warmth after all are not a bad thing. :)

Quite simply, we like to goof around and joke about FMac. If you could just dial it back just a notch and join the fun, you'll see it all in a different light.

We all have different opinions and that's what makes this a message board a great place. I would never get this upset about a rock and roll band. As much as I love all 5 of them, they are quite hysterical. I believe they even think so. And finally, what makes you think any of this is directed at you. Elle and I were just having some fun. I like to add a lot of humor to my FMac knowledge. It's not directed at you, and until you copied one of my quotes, I didn't even realize who you were. (we haven't really had much interaction)

Having said that, you're welcome to goof around with me and even throw a dig. I'll know you're just keeping the humor going. Peace, Nicole21290..

Yes, I'm aware of that (believe you me, catching up on the entire archived Ledge makes one aware, lol) and I enjoy it. Most of the time. Basically, I think making fun of the bandmembers themselves is fair game and tis very enjoyable to me as well but I have greater difficulty when a group of people (in this case, BN 'shippers') are selected out and, with basically no provocation, are mocked, even gently. Maybe that wasn't even what was happening today and yesterday as well elsewhere - it just comes across like that to me so... I don't know, I'm just really not that fond of assumptions being made about an entire group of individuals, especially if said group of individuals did nothing to set someone off.

I'm really not that upset - just peeved because there have been a few irritants of this type in the past week - so apologies if I come across like that. I'm well aware I can come across a bit heavy-handed and humourless in my 'defenses'. I can deal with people seeing me that way. As far as humour goes, yes, they're hilarious - I love laughing at and with them, for sure. In this case and a few others, however, the 'humour' and 'fun' wasn't about the BAND. Or at least, it didn't come across like that.

Anyway, apologies if I got the wrong end of the stick - I probably over-reacted then and am doing so again. I am sorry for making it all about me when, in fact, that just reflects poorly on my own narcissism, I guess. I'll back away now. Well, 'now' as in a minute of two once I've finished writing all of this. *sends olive branch in your general direction though not specific because sticks in eyes hurt* xoxo

personally i would never think deeply of touching, hand-holding, hugging and kissing between band members because as far as i can tell with Lindsey he's extremely touchy-feely person and warmth like that seems to come naturally to him, with various people. on the other hand, any of the band members would have to be blind and deaf not to notice audience roars whenever Stevie and Lindsey interact on stage and they definitely play up to it and bask in it, regardless of their personal affection for each other. so it's not inconceivable they'd play up their interactions in interviews or that hand-holding last year was pre-planned. either way, now we can enjoy different very recent photos which actually belong in this thread - screencaps from today show on 3/27. i don't really see how all these pics from a year ago you re-posted are relevant, frankly, other then both sets of photos show there is warmth and affection between band members.

Agreed on his natural warmth etc. Also agreed on the basking in it. It's the idea of 'faking' or even 'playing it up' that I do have some issues with as I've elucidated on in the past. And so I won't ruin this thread anymore with my lengthy opinions on that. And apologies for not staying on track with relevant comments - I did think there was enough of a connection seeing as you were talking about those interviews being ONE interview and I wanted to demonstrate there were separate instances of handholding. Obviously I shouldn't have, so sorry for that.

now, in that today video do i think kumbaya hand-holding of the whole band was pre-planned? you bet! was Lindsey and Christine hand-holding pre-planned to show everybody that all the talk about bad blood between them is bs and they want it to stop (if they ever even heard of such rumors)? possibly. was Christine grabbing and kissing his hand pre-planned? didn't look like it to me, he even seemed a bit caught before returning the kiss.

but i think in general all the band members (with perhaps the exception of John) are pretty affectionate people and all the hand-holding and hugging comes pretty natural to them. human interactions and warmth after all are not a bad thing. :)

It was amusing watching them look at each other, waiting to take each other's hands. Good show, kids. I would venture to say more than possibly, to be honest and that's not a bad thing or 'faked to be PR and reassure fans'. It's one of the main tenets of the the interviews so far released - in relation to Lindsey, the points they're emphasising are how well he works with Christine esp. on producing these new songs, the natural chemistry there, and him wanting reassurance she was in this for good. Yes, well, his kiss in reciprocation was a natural thing for him to do. I don't know that he looked 'caught' though. I certainly don't think that Christine/Lindsey handhold or handkiss looked more spontaneous than you think the Lindsey/Stevie one/s were.

Their genuine affection for each other and the easy, comfortable physical and verbal expression of that is certainly one of the loveliest elements of this band, that's for sure.

Some things never change. There's something oddly comforting in that.

I love the Mac fandom!

As for the touchy-feely-ness of the Today show interview, it's simply a matter of Lindsey's hands being in high demand! ;)

Those are very nice. One of my favorite FM memories is of Lindsey and Christine at the BTM shows. Christine was kissing him and stroking his hair repeatedly as she stood next to them. Stevie was talking to the audience about Greenpeace and Christine was caressing Lindsey. It was lovely and this reminds me of that.

Also, I always recall for BTM the way Lindsey had gone down the line and when he got to John, it looked like John didn't want to shake his hand and Lindsey retreated but then John gestured that he was only kidding and hugged Lindsey. So sweet.

Hey Ironman Thanks for the great snap shots of the interview.

Chris looks like the only happy camper there.I can understand what Johns going through.

Yes Lindsey looks upset or pissed off about something.Stevie has her little smile and Mick looks his normal self.

I wonder when NBC filmed the outside footage.Was it before the interview or after.

weird, Mick, Christine and John are dressed as they were around that Today show photoshoot, while Lindsey and Stevie are dressed like in the past - maybe like at last year's photoshoot for their tourbook? the jacket on Lindsey looks like the one he had when i saw them in Cologne last year, i though he ruined that one by wearing it during those European gigs and had to get the blue one instead. :shrug:

Lindsey should dye his hair. I mean grey hair has been mick and johns thing this century. It's their look. It looks wrong on Lindsey tho. He's had hints of grey since 2001, but it was always very subtle. But he's way over the 50 percent threshold here and while I actually don't care how the hell Lindsey looks the grey hair gives off a bit of a serial killerish vibe :laugh:

sodascouts

04-06-2014, 07:56 PM

I think he was going for "brooding."

He's still a very handsome man and when he's playing guitar solos onstage, drenched in sweat, caught up in the passion and intensity of the music, I find him to be the sexiest man on the freaking planet.

I agree, however, that he could do more with his hair.

It's the hairstyle making him look old. He has that "crazy old History teacher" look.

Meanwhile, I don't think anyone in Fleetwood Mac makes him miserable. He's just stuck in his "I have to brood for photos" rut.

i agree with the hairstyle comment - looks much better when his hair is more down, as it was for the most of the last year. have no idea why he combs it up.

either way, he's still incredibly good looking up close, even if it doesn't come through in all the photos, and even if he tries to make those funny brooding facial expressions all the time when he poses.

lol that's why all the emoticons. he does look these days like he's over all the drama bs and taking it easy... or maybe it's just a facade and he's boiling inside. ;)

not sure why are all these tons of pics from 2003 and 2013 littering the today show thread? :confused:

The pictures from 2013 are there because you posted some from 2012 (I believe) and made a comment about him being happy in some company and not in other. If pics of him from 2012 can be posted by you to demonstrate he CAN smile and isn't always in moody!brooding!genius mode, surely you can't begrudge four other pictures ALSO showing him smiling?

The pictures from 2003 are not there at all so I don't know what the issue is. I linked to them exactly so you WOULDN'T need to berate me for embedding them and cluttering up or littering in the thread. You're welcome.

Hahaha.Lindsey looks great for his age.I wonder if he just nervous or tired in those interviews worrying about what they are going to ask him.

No offense against Mick and John.Lindsey is lucky to have head of hair at his age.

I rather have head of hair then bald.

If Stevie lets some her grey hair out if she has any.It would be fine with me.

Emmylou Harris looks lovely with her hair.She went grey young .

He looks happy in those photos that nicole just posted.
