What would you ask Mick?

[Villavic]

If you were at the M&G Q&A sesión, what would you like to ask Mick?
My questions would be:

1. Is it true you are writing a new book? when is it expected to be issued?
2. For you, what was the hardest song to record?
3. Besides Oh Daddy, is there another song about you, or that you feel identified with?

PS: Please suggest cool questiosn, hehee... I know we all would want to ask him something like Why that expensive??? But… ;)

[jbrownsjr]

1. Is there really a new album in the works?
2. When is Stevie going to record?

[HomerMcvie]

Dear Mick, I've been a lifelong fan, since 8th grade. I've hung on every move FM ever made, and followed every incarnation. I'd say I'm in the top 5% of your fanbase.

Now WHY do I have to pay $750 for a good ticket to this tour? For Mirage, I was 5th row, center. "How much was the ticket, you ask?" Why Mick, it was $16!

You're a greedy, greedy man, Mr. Fleetwood.:mad:



:laugh:

[Villavic]

Dear HomerMcvie
In 1982 you could fly to South America for $300
Disney world tickets were less than $29

Now I have to maintain my Maui properties and pay lot of taxes
Please support me! To thank you you will get a free soda in my Hawaii restaurant, if you go to dinner there

:laugh:

I think you need to ask the people willing to pay this much and more ... why ?


"They"are just going with what people are willing to pay .. and will probably calculate this in to the next tour , I totally agree with you I have seen every tour since rumours.

I will not pay. I can easily afford a $1500. ticket with out sacrificing anything ... but i won't and i will not die if i do not see the rumours line up again .... I'll wait for the Behind the Mask line up I really like them

I've seen you quote the $750 figure a couple of times now. I know you're quoting VIP/Platinum prices, but you can buy tier 1/floor seats on Ticketmaster for $179.50. Nosebleeds start at $49.50. Not exactly cheap, but more affordable than some of the Mac's contemporaries.

Edit: I just looked at Dallas' Platinum seats, and they aren't too many of them... none of them are even in the first 4 rows, either. I think you can do better just going for the regular $179.50 seats. If you're lucky, you'll nab a closer seat at a fraction of the cost.

why should we settle and not be able the chance first at a fair price for some good seats it really has gotten worse then i expected . and the only way it will stop is if there are plenty of empty seats .. but as long as (any performers) Fans feel they will miss out ...they'll pay them

[Wdm6789]

Cocaine, I would ask about everyone's cocaine use. I don't know why, but I have always been curious for more details about that.

That's just it... by paying $750 ($850 in Dallas) for "Platinum Seats," you don't actually appear to be getting the first chance at the best seats, since none of these Platinum Seats are in the first 5 rows. You may still do better by waiting until the regular on sale days, or waiting until the tickets drop in the preceding 2 weeks before the show dates.

[Phil]

I would ask Mick about reissuing the back catalogue in remastered/expanded form. I'd also enquire about the possibility of a super deluxe Tusk release along the lines of the Rumours set from last year plus dvd's of live shows/film clips. I would impress upon him the relatively minor cost of remastering in the hope those dollar signs would commence flashing - as long as he realises there's a fast buck to be made, these reissues would be forthcoming.

[mylittledemon]

If you were at the M&G Q&A sesión, what would you like to ask Mick?

Can we get The Dance on blu-ray?

[Neal]

I would ask him to ask Stevie why she refuses to do "Rooms On Fire" anymore.

[michelej1]

1. Is there really a new album in the works?
2. When is Stevie going to record?

In the past, I always made up Christine questions to ask Mick in my head. Now, there's no need to do that anymore.:)

Michele

[bethelblues]

Can I be your manager? LOL!! You guys should hear new ideas and suggestions, like a special 50th anniversary concert + ideas to keep a setlist fresh and interesting for fans while still being fulfilling for casual concertgoers and nascent fans. Plus, someone who could remind you of how you played songs in the past (Sisters of the Moon used to rock; Isn't It Midnight is a great lost uptempo rock song; Albatross is one of the greatest Fleetwood Mac songs). ;p

Which Christine questions have you asked him. And what did he say?

[elle]

i don't remember anymore. i think there were some that you suggested. yeah, i shared on Christine forum if i remember correctly, and you liked the answers.

one of them was something along the lines - if Christine doesn't want to tour and Stevie doesn't want to make an album with FM, would they be open to making an album with Christine and touring with Stevie. he said something like - definitely, all options are on the table and anything is possible.

[Montclare]

1. If you do have a new book coming out, are you going to correct the "inaccuracies" from your first one?

2. Any more forgotten footage (ie Japan 1977 concert) around somewhere? I'd love to see more footage from the Tusk tour.

[HomerMcvie]

I've seen friends post that THAT'S what they've paid for their tickets.

"Oh, gag. I just shelled out $1500 for 2 tix in the 2nd row for Indianapolis. Honestly, I really don't care if I get to meet Mick, but I've been waiting 16 years for this, so might as well go whole hog." - Someone from the Ledge.

I told my DIEHARD friends that I'd do $500/per. But beyond that, nope. Nosebleeds or F them. Prices are insane. Again, I'm willing to pay $500 for ONE F*CKING TICKET(my friends want to be in the first 10 rows), but $500 apparently isn't in the ballpark... Either nosebleeds, or I'll just buy the DVD.:(

And this isn't just for doing the Mick meet and greet. Others have posted the same.

If that's your aim, these are absolutely fantastic in terms of ensuring that we never get another Mick Q&A! :laugh:

[sue]

I would ask for UK Tour dates but probably more important Europe dates as they're much, much cheaper and I need to source good Hotel in Amsterdam.

[WayOfTheDragon]

I'd like to know what Mick's ideal FM setlist would be, if it were up to him, all preconceptions about "must-do songs" aside.

[chriskisn]

If that's your aim, these are absolutely fantastic in terms of ensuring that we never get another Mick Q&A! :laugh:

Well I guess it depends if you want to ask the serious questions or just the usually pretty sugar-coated questions that most fans would ask. Frankly don't do a Q&A if you aren't prepared for some questions that might not be all sparkles and glitter.

[Patrick]

I would ask Mick what he plans to do about the removing the stain that he and other FM members cast upon the the great tapestry that is the tradition of FM and it's music, by omitting Bob from the RRHOF.

HALLELUJAH!!!!

Mick doesn't care, because there's NO financial incentive for him. Chris trumps Bob, and he made his choice...

He'd sell you Biddy's used panties for $50.

[jbrownsjr]

I would ask him if I could have his balls. They must be worth a lot!

i'd ask him to get back to selling his VIP tickets to fans for a more reasonable price, instead of his current gauging through TM.

[michelej1]

Going through TM is confusing, even aside from the price. I know there were some problems with Ground Ctrl, but I wish his tickets were being sold separately and not mixed in with the TM regular seats, platinum seats, presales and other nonsense.

Last night I was looking at a venue and there's this map that comes up that allows you to choose your seat. Well, there was ONE open seat in row two and I clicked on that one and it said the price was $750, so I thought that must be Mick's package, although I hadn't chosen the Meet and Greet package selection. So, I thought great, there's one Mick seat left. But then when I tried to investigate further, it said there were no available seats. The chart said one was open, but then you couldn't get it.

yeah what you see on the map are Mick's, not plats. someone must have bought it right then.

lol. still happy to report i didn't buy any FM tickets yet this year. waiting to see whether new studio album will be out and played on the tour. DC is Oct 31st. i have more than a monht after the 1st show to get something if they are playing new songs.

I still hope you're considering Chicago since you asked me already. I'll be bummed if you don't go since I have mine already. ;)

YES! I would have bought these last year if I had known the price was going to go up this much. I would love to meet Mick (but I think everyone knows LB I would be VERY happy to meet as well)

[elle]

I still hope you're considering Chicago since you asked me already. I'll be bummed if you don't go since I have mine already. ;)
99.99% sure i won't go. i'm really sorry that i won't get to meet you. hopefully there will be a LB solo tour one of these days, 5 years from now.

i was really seriously considering Chicago, close to LB's bday and all. but it's just way too much money for another oldies tour for me to do big trips, and i have no interest in supporting the money grab.

Anyway I would love to chat tech talk with Mick.

Hahaha.I wish I could play a note on key or have rhythm.
I could practice with a tambo but thats Stevie's job.

She would kill me with it.LOL........

[lovethemac1]

Here's what I did ask him on the last tour:
I asked him what he could remember about breaking glass for the Gold Dust Women recording on Rumours.............He said he remembered nothing from the 70's, zip, zero, nada.
But he had on a gorgeous scarf and he smelled really good. And he rubbed my shoulder while our picture was being taken.

And yet...he wrote an autobiography. :laugh:

[MacShadowsBall]

In all seriousness, I would ask Mick if there is a way he can help get Bob Welch inducted in the RRHOF. Keeping it friendly yet serious while not dragging up the past. :cool:

[lovethemac1]

And yet...he wrote an autobiography. :laugh:

No kidding, I never thought of that.................I should have asked him considering I had him sign my copy. He may not have let me get my pic with him though:distress: He did chat with my husband lots. Maybe because there were only 6 of us at the meet and greet and my husband is almost as tall as Mick. My husband always says that it's nice to chat with people who you can look directly at, it doesn't happen often when you are that tall.

[Villavic]

For those who went to the M&G, how previous do they email you the entry details? The NJ show is scheduled 8pm. What time is the M&G? Any suggestions?

[Richard B]

Nobody can hear her tambo anyway...

That's so funny!
Actually though, I don't think it's a working tambo. Remember when Stevie told that story of her tambourine being silenced for the Clinton Inauguration? I think that's the same one she still uses and it's still silenced.

Funny, there's some live clips (other than above) where Christine uses the tambourine and you can certainly hear it clearly...but oh no...not Stevie's.

You're a greedy, greedy man, Mr. Fleetwood.:mad:



:laugh:
The big band of the late 90's that fought Ticketmaster tells the truth about ticket prices. They refused to charge big prices for tickets and did not sell tickets through ticketmaster. Even though the band was huge they ended up losing money on the tour.
But most important I heard Christine say to make this tour very comfortable they are pulling out all the stops with private jets and luxury suites. Yes they will make a ton of dough but also spend a fortune. They also have an entire backing band to pay. In the old days all they did was divide by 5.

[Macfan4life]

Hmm. Not sure I believe that. I've been close enough several times to hear Stevie's tambo. :shrug:
It was silent only for that one song for the president since it was live TV. It is not silent on tour.
