[PenguinHead]

Intriguing! I can't even begin to speculate.

[annabellee]

Anyone else think it's Stevie singing the regulars including the piano version of Rhiannon? Looks like the same old stuff.

Rhiannon seems to be the only song she is capable of singing while playing piano She has done this many times. How is this news? There has to be more to it!

[olive]

She's in the finale of American Horror Story ?

Nicks finally decided to contribute to FM album in the works and is announcing it with fanfare? and one of her songs will be piano ballad to complement It Takes Time?

[BlueDenimLamp]

She's playing "Lady" for the 2015 leg of the "OWTS" tour...

[jkmaletic]

The most important thing for me is to find out ASAP is if the surprise will be some kind of last minute, intimate solo show next week. Do I need to start acting "sick" at work now? LOL (seriously tho)

Jamie

Now, that could be entirely possible. A one-off at the Wiltern or something.

Michele

[Jondalar]

It has to be with promotion of 24k. U know that is killing her. She wAnts to promote it.

That's it!!.
She will only provide her songs for new Mac album so long as she can promote 24k with one song on the current tour.

This still reigns as the 2nd most favorite Ledgie story for me. The first being our Ledgie in Australia who was looking out a coffee shop window in early 1980 and saw FM riding on a bus and ran out, stopped the bus and was invited inside and had a sweet chat with Stevie.

Just for the record my 3rd favorite was the Ledgie who thought the lyrics in FireFlies was: Everyone stays close to the fireplace:lol::]:p

[James89]

That's it!!.

Exactly. She's basically bribing them. I hope so anyway because this album would've done much better if she had promoted it initially, so any promotion now is good. It's killing her that this album has died already, and in less than half the time of In Your Dreams and she wasn't happy with the performance of that.

Like I said^^^...A lot of the excitement over mcvie has subsided and now Stevie is making her move...Stevie playing "Lady" on the piano. How great would that be.

No need to call in sick.

[Hawkeye]

Do you know the secret FM77? Don't need to say exactly if you can't. But is it worth being excited over? Is it setlist related. New release related?

[FM77]

Do you know the secret FM77? Don't need to say exactly if you can't. But is it worth being excited over? Is it setlist related. New release related?

I'm not sure what Liz is referring to in the plural sense but I do know of the big one. Jan 14 is the date for that. It is not setlist related, she is not doing a one-off next week.

[JohnL]

I think she is going to be making some kind of television appearance next week and perform. Ellen? The View? We know both Ellen and Rosie are big supporters. Maybe that's not a big enough surprise. Who knows?

[SLN1]

I'd think the news of the musical "School of Rock" would be a part of it, no?

[twinmatrix]

She's playing "Lady" for the 2015 leg of the "OWTS" tour...

My heart stopped for a second when I read that comment.

I will breakdown and cry if that's true.

Damn. I really wish there was a Stevie Nicks song on the OWTS set list. :( We never get her own concerts here in Europe, and Lady is simply beautiful.

I don't suppose the news is a European tour for 24 Karat Gold? Lol...

[James89]

Any more clues?! I'm really impatient! :]

[Macfanforever]

Shes going to announce on TV that she going to change to different music genders after Mac is over with and dye her hair purple or shave it .

Do a country album with a current artist as she wears a cowboy hat and boots or do a album with Tony Bennett or similar classical artist or team up with a current rap/hip-hop artist. LOL ...




OK I'm having fun... Oh I love to hear"Lady" at the FM show.

I think it could be a couple things.

1 She will hit the studio with FM.She must be tired of people asking her about it by now.Here you go Elle.

2 She pop out 24K 2 and do a small tour to promote both albums.

3 She could be joining one of the TV talent shows as a judge .

4 She will appear on a TV show like AHS or some other show.

Hahahaha let see how close I''l be on the 14th.LOL.................................................

Hahahaha probably none above.

[MikeInNV]

I admit I'm excited, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low. Given that the FM tour keeps her busy for the next 6 months, I'm not sure how "big" it can be. I guess a new video for a 24KG song would be doable, and definitely cool. Some of the other options (a 24KG tour, recording with FM) would have to wait awhile, so an announcement of such would be premature to say the least.

[bombaysaffires]

I like the idea that it might have something to do with School of Rock, like maybe she's given them a (new) song from her trove…..

[SorcererJP]

Rhiannon seems to be the only song she is capable of singing while playing piano She has done this many times. How is this news? There has to be more to it!

There is a TV-special from UK TV from 1989 (the OSOTM-era) where she is sitting behind the piano with Sharon and Lori singing: Doing the best I can ...

[welcomechris]

I think it's going to be Lady and Rhiannon on piano. Maybe an interview too

[Jondalar]

Lady and Rhiannon --- yawn.... How about a real surprise.... Jesus...

[mitzo]

I hope and pray for some concert video, perhaps an intimate setting or just for the camera with commentary. But she should stay away from pianos, her playing is awful.

[Macfanforever]

She plays that piano 100 percent better then me.

I agree with the concert video.

[Macfanforever]

Will its not about FM going on the Superbowl Haft time show.

Lenny Kravitz To Join Katy Perry on the halftime show.I'm not a fan of neither.I'll sit this one out.

He's such a clever boy, being able to react to Stevie's choice of lyrics from that album with another song from the same album. :lol:

What country do you live in?
He's very popular in Europe...

[twinmatrix]

Oooh, pretty cool song. I like his style. Thanks for the link. :)
He's going to perform with Katy Perry? Their styles are so different, I don't see how that would work very well.

What country do you live in?

The Netherlands. ^^ I just asked around for fun, nope, no one knows him... Fleetwood Mac is famous here, but almost only the Christine songs for some reason. I don't really understand the taste of my country, haha. None of the singers I like are popular here.

I understand, he's famous in the Mediterranean Europe.
North Europe has different music style, for example heavy metal and hard-rock are very developed in Germany and Scandinavian countries.

Ah I see, yeah. Like Rammstein. Not my thing at all...

How's Stevie doing in south Europe?

[sue]

Lenny Kravitz is very popular in the UK, and played Wembley Stadium just before Christmas.

You guys produced Adele, Dido and Ed Sheeran. You obviously have superior taste.

[SisterNightroad]

How's Stevie doing in south Europe?
She's practically unknown save among the experts of the music sector.
Fleetwood Mac are better known among music magazines but are equally unknown among masses.
Wich is strange because classic rock radios play both Stevie and Fleetwood Mac material quite often.

he is VERY well trained indeed :lol::lol:

they share earbuds together and listen to her special ipod mix before shows

[Macfanforever]

I enjoy Adele's music .

I never got into Lenny Kravitz tunes but I've read that he is a great guitar player.


This reminds me of David Hasselhoff.He 's hot with his music in Germany and some other countries but he's not in the states like his acting is on TV.

The same with Andy Griffith's Jim Nabors .He was hot with his music over in Europe but not in the states.

[pattyfan]

It doesn't actually say that the surprises will be coming next week. But let's hope we get at least one... :)

And I don't know if you found this, but even though it's not F Mac live, it is Stevie and Lindsey. :)

I actually done that almost in that way as I drove to the box office of the local casinos figuring getting better seats of the show as they first went on sale,

BS. It was a failure .The seats were no better then the ones online.

My mediate supervisor knew what I was up to since he was going to the show with me.I had him give me a half personal day with pay for the morning trying to get the tix.

[BigAl84]

VH1 is reviving the "Storytellers" show...I just saw an ad online for one they just did with Ed Sheeran.

Maybe they had her come back and do an episode with IYD and 24K songs? That would be pretty sweet!

Wow ,I dont believe VH1 is going back to music instead of reality crap shows.

I got to watch it online since I dumped extended cable years ago because of all the reality crap it has.

[gssmith]

She will probably make a guest appearance with Katy Perry during half time show.

[KarmaContestant]

Yikes. I'm not the biggest fan of Katy. OK, I'm not a fan at all, though I think Roar is a catchy song - but it had 5 writers, so it should be catchy since it was contrived to be.

Katy does have some pipes and a powerful vocal ability, and I'm not sure her and Stevie's current voice would sound good together.

[BlueDenimLamp]

Might not be a good idea. Remember the Taylor Swift fiasco on the Grammys a few years back. I think Stevie probably regretted it the moment Taylor started signing Rhiannon.

@le-tourbillion: my dad works in the same office as Rolling Stone magazine, and just told me that the next cover is Stevie! So excited!

[pattyfan]

So is Stevie being on the cover of RS the surprise, or is that just promotion for the real surprise? I think she's going to announce that the next time they tour, they will be doing a no BIG hits tour with the following setlist...
1. Blue Letter
2. Think About Me
3. Straight Back
4. Love in Store
5. Fireflies
6. Down Endless Street
7. Welcome to the Room...Sara
8. Tango in the Night
9. One More Night
10. Angel
11. Why
12. The Ledge
13. I Don't Want to Know
14. Can't Go Back
15. Sugar Daddy
16. Thrown Down
17. Save Me a Place
18. Honey Hi
19. Don't Let Me Down Again
20. Smile At You
21. Mystified

encore
22. That's Alright
23. Peacekeeper
24. Over and Over
25 . Farmer's Daughter

I'm SURE that's what it is :)

And I would love this show (except for Peacekeeper - but we all need a bathroom break, yet so late in the show...)

[PenguinHead]

I hope and pray for some concert video, perhaps an intimate setting or just for the camera with commentary. But she should stay away from pianos, her playing is awful.

I wouldn't call it awful; it's just very rudimentary. She uses a piano to write her songs, but it's very surprising to see her making solo public appearances given her limited abilities. I give her credit for doing it (time makes her bolder) yet it doesn't do her any favors. Still, it is interesting to see Stevie play an instrument other than a tambourine. After decades of playing the piano, it appears that she has successfully avoided advances in her proficiency.

[BlueDenimLamp]

Once she masters the piano the guitar will be next.

Kudos! I always thought Blue Letter would be a good show opener! Tango in the Night, Can't Go Back, Sugar Daddy. Honey Hi, That's Aright, Straight Back, Firelifes ---all should have had their moments on stage. And of all the the over-looked songs prior to 1975, Why deserved a come back. A Hits-Free tour! An interesting concept that doubt will ever happen. Any history of a big rock band ever doing that?

[WildHearted]

I actually think Stevie is probably (or was, at one time) a more proficient guitarist than she is a pianist, based on what little evidence we do have of her playing... but living and working with Lindsey may have killed any confidence she had in her guitar abilities. I don't mean that to sound like a dig at Lindsey - I just mean that being mediocre at something in the midst of someone who is great at it can put a damper on things, sometimes. I play piano pretty well by most people's standards, but stick me in a room with a piano prodigy and I never want to look at the damn instrument again.

[BlueDenimLamp]

:lol::lol::lol: hahaha, good one!!!!

http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r663/Nicksiannation/hjoiu_zpsfd592e77.png

Don't laugh...She's been showing her guitar to a lot of people lately . First it was in the "IYD" doc then she broke it out for her BMI "Icon" award. Next she will be playing it again.

[BlueDenimLamp]

I actually think Stevie is probably (or was, at one time) a more proficient guitarist than she is a pianist, based on what little evidence we do have of her playing... but living and working with Lindsey may have killed any confidence she had in her guitar abilities. I don't mean that to sound like a dig at Lindsey - I just mean that being mediocre at something in the midst of someone who is great at it can put a damper on things, sometimes. I play piano pretty well by most people's standards, but stick me in a room with a piano prodigy and I never want to look at the damn instrument again.

I would imagine that by the time Rumours came to be that the last thing LB wanted was another playing guitar especially Stevie. Can you imagine if Stevie had kept up her playing and was performing "Landslide" by herself at FM shows. Don't think LB would have liked that at all back then. I believe it's in the "Rock A Little" liner notes that Stevie says she wished she had kept her playing skills up.

[twinmatrix]

She looks so cute with her big guitar lol

So is Stevie being on the cover of RS the surprise, or is that just promotion for the real surprise? I think she's going to announce that the next time they tour, they will be doing a no BIG hits tour with the following setlist...
1. Blue Letter
2. Think About Me
3. Straight Back
4. Love in Store
5. Fireflies
6. Down Endless Street
7. Welcome to the Room...Sara
8. Tango in the Night
9. One More Night
10. Angel
11. Why
12. The Ledge
13. I Don't Want to Know
14. Can't Go Back
15. Sugar Daddy
16. Thrown Down
17. Save Me a Place
18. Honey Hi
19. Don't Let Me Down Again
20. Smile At You
21. Mystified

encore
22. That's Alright
23. Peacekeeper
24. Over and Over
25 . Farmer's Daughter

I'm SURE that's what it is :)

Kevin

I honestly only know 2-3 songs from that list. :shocked: Can we please add Storms in for me?

Totally. I never compare my work to other artists because I know it will only destroy my self-confidence... But when practicing it doesn't hurt to look at others' work.

I still blame the show producers for not giving them more rehearsal time.

I just can't get over the fact that Stevie Nicks is singing along to "You Belong With Me" hahaha. I actually love that song, but it's so kiddy compared to her own work! It's like she's the teacher in an elementary school singalong.

Even giving consideration that Stevie could become proficient with a guitar, I doubt she would ever become a second guitar player in Fleetwood Mac. She's a visual performer - playing anything more complex than a tambourine would hinder her stage presence. Her limited level of musicianship as a pianist and guitar player appears mostly as a means to write songs. I don't think Lindsey would ever be concerned that Stevie could usurp his role. She has a special talent but she was never destined to have the range of someone like Joni Mitchell.

Stevie played guitar standing right next to Lindsey on stage for years (BN) and would have played for FM but she says LB would have found something to complain about so why bother.

Only 3 songs? Girl you need to buy a bunch of Fleetwood Mac albums or study FM 101 in college.:lol:

[BlueDenimLamp]

They have "Greatest Hits" and that's all you need if you are buying tickets to see FM because they are the best Fleetwood Mac tribute band out there.

[twinmatrix]

I know, I'm way behind on my FM knowledge beyond Stevie Nicks' songs. :sorry: On the plus side it gives me something to discover / listen to if I'm feeling down or bored, hehe. Amazing times when I didn't know all of Stevie's songs yet and was still discovering her music. Every album was like a new candy store. :D

Yeah fortunately I know 97% of their current set list, lol.

She never said she would have played for FM or even wanted to play for them. She said doing so would only be for show.

[jkmaletic]

Maybe the announcement will be solo tour dates that would begin around September?
Or would announcing something like that be bad business sense in that FM is currently touring?

Wow, you've got a great big treat ahead of you.
Is it really possible to be such a Stevie Nicks fan without having any real awareness of FM songs? That had never even occurred to me.

I don't know but I'd better be "surprised" mighty soon! I think it's slightly mean to announce big surprises and then leave everybody hanging. It better be good.

Jamie

I sincerely hope you're wrong. By the time this FM tour wraps, she will have toured for 2.5 years solid with the band. Before that she toured for about 2 solid years solo. I pray all of this will help her decide to break from life on the road for a while to record this final FM album. Don't get me wrong, a handful of theater dates showcasing the 24k songs would be amazing, but I certainly don't see that in the cards. Stevie likes to go big or go home.

Either way, whatever this week's announcement is won't be anywhere near this consequential. It'll be new exclusive content for her website or something equally as unexciting. :p

I know! FM is amazing. :D

Actually, when I first heard of Stevie Nicks, I didn't even know she was a member of FM! I think it's because my mother is a fan of Stevie's solo work, and neither are popular here.

Stevie is the one that sold me to FM back in the 1970's.

I hate to admit it... but, I heard "Edge of Seventeen" and fell in love with that voice! When I went to my local public library and listened to songs off that one HUGE album, you can imagine my surprise at realizing that this was the same group I had listened to when I was much younger and hadn't made the connection between the two. :)

It's been announced:

Head over to RollingStone.com at 11amEST tomorrow for a HUGE Stevie Nicks surprise and a very, very special performance.

That's 8 a.m. my time, right when I have to start work. Hopefully it will be left up on the website for viewing at a later time. It wouldn't make sense just to show it once, right?

If the "very special performance" is just her playing "Rhiannon" on the piano...:rolleyes:

okay first I laughed.... but seriously how insulting would that be if she did

[sorcerer999]

Right???!!!

She did it on VH1 Storytellers, she did it on Dave Stewart's HBO show, she did it on AHS:Coven, she just RECENTLY did it on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (albeit as an extra bonus on their website)...it's just "old hat" these days!

But seriously, the only other songs she seems comfortable playing on the piano (in their most basic forms) in public are HAEWAFY, Moonlight, Planets and Dreams. They're all kind of "old hat" as well, but I'd take any of those over Rhiannon at this point.

Yes! I was fortunate to witness that in the second row at the Grammy museum event in 2011.

Does anybody have the RS streamlink.

[Macfanforever]

its 11am where is it.

[DauphineMarie]

Let's hope the same people in charge of posting song snippets on time aren't running RS now... :shocked:

[eric51078]

Its a piano version of Gypsy!

[olive]

Its a piano version of Gypsy!

I wonder why she bothered with a new album .... at least it wasn't Rhianon again

[pattyfan]

I like it. At least it's something new. :)

Was the Q and A under the video an excerpt from the whole article or is that it?

Oops, I just looked again and I guess it's an excerpt. So I will buy the magazine. Gosh, I don't think I've bought a paper magazine in quite some time. :)

A song from 24 Karat Gold would have been nice; however, I think her performance of Gypsy on the piano is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Heres my kinescoped copy.It will do for now since I could not get a downloaded copy with my video downloader program.

My thought is thank god it's not Rhiannon or landslide

[jkmaletic]

Wow- that was beautiful.

Yeah, it wasn't a *new* song, but it wouldn't make sense to do a new song acapella like that, at least for the general public. It's good because casual fans will recognize the song, and at the same time see that she's "still got it". Maybe some will even consider buying her new release because of it.

I especially loved the "her bright eyes" part. She sang it beautifully.

And thanks to Skip for putting up the video!

Pretty good but damn, she must not play piano in public again. It ruins the song.

So what was the surprise? Just the live performance of Gypsy? Lol

OMG and there's a mashup with a Madonna song!! You're amazing, thank you!! <3

Gah, that piano version is so beautiful. Perfect vocals. Wish she'd do another DVD concert with tracks like that.

Use a "Downloader" like this one Downloader (http://www.clipconverter.cc/) just paste the youtube link and it will download the video to your device you are using. Just un-check the box if you don't want any "Free" programs from them

Singing - yay,Piano - nay

[teedeerocks]

She had to fulfill a contract - that's the extent of it.

[PenguinHead]

It's just so plodding. I understand why she uses the piano to write songs. It is somewhat of an interesting novelty to see her playing an instrument while singing. The issue is that her keyboard skills are barely passable. If she simply focused on what she does best (singing), accompanied by an accomplished piano player, these bare-bones performances would sound infinitely better.

[PenguinHead]

I wonder why she bothered with a new album .... at least it wasn't Rhianon again

Yes, good thing it wasn't Rhiannon. I'm glad she bothered with a new album. That's usually what artists do naturally -- create new things!
