Stevie and LIndsey in a much better place?

[secondhandchain]

Is it me or they really look like they are suddenly getting along again?
Are they finally appreciating what they have and that it will soon be over? Part of me thinks it all apart of their act. They've done it before, pretending like they are getting along for the show.
Does this bode well for Stevie finally committing to the new album?
Something looks different and I wonder what happened. Can somebody ask this at a Mick meet and greet? Inquiring minds want to know!

[StreetAngel86]

Is Mick REALLY going to know the answer?????? :laugh:

I think they just like coming over here coz we're so far away and fabulous and they can relax a bit more.

Nothing bad is happening. i guess that's a good thing at the moment :D

You could be onto something there.

Stevie being happy might have more
to do with her recently spending a lot
of time with Noel Gallagher.

[sue]

I think they're leading us on.....there will be a full blown embrace, slow dance, cuddle at the end of Sara, by the end of the tour....

Stevie has a strange fixed grin on her face when they end Sara...???

[FuzzyPlum]

Is Mick REALLY going to know the answer?????? :laugh:


quite possibly- he spends a lot of time around them. If anyones looking for a question then that would be a decent one.

LOL, good joke.:laugh: But be careful. Some people on this board such as StreetAngel86 might not get it and end up calling you names in the process like it did to me.

[James89]

Hang on. What's Noel Gallagher got to do with anything? I don't get the joke. :shrug:

[AliceLover]

They've both said (Mick and Chris too) that the interaction is fake!

[Montclare]

It's strange to me that they would make Sara one of their "special" songs, seeing as it's about Mick and Don. Silver Springs and Landslide I get, but Sara?

[nicole21290]

Well, I'll happily accept said 'fakeness' if it looks like this picture from the show in Geelong last night....

[James89]

Wow. If I was his wife I would be so pissed. It must be so weird for her to know that most nights they are doing this touchy-huggy thing. It's quite funny though really because if Stevie wants to be more intimate with Lindsey, she can just say "You know what? I'm going to put Sara back in the set so we can embrace again." :laugh:

[Macfan4life]

These threads always amuse me. Their relationship will never change. But most nights they are having fun on stage. Sometimes people blog that just because Stevie looks at Lindsey during Silver Springs that she is being romantic with him LOL.
I bet they don't see each other except on stage during the tour.
Sometimes on stage though Lindsey does things still to this day to piss off Stevie. In Miami during the long Gypsy intro Stevie was really going off in left field about being on tour with CCR and their car broke down. Lindsey made a car honking sound with his guitar. Stevie was not happy. She turned to Lindsey and said.... am I boring you? She cut her intro and finished. That night they were not that close on stage. Stevie did not even come out at the end either.
IMHO they can hug, kiss, banter, etc. Things are still the same.

[WatchChain]

I bet they don't see each other except on stage during the tour.

I totally agree with your call. For a endless tour like "On With The Show", I seriously doubt that members of The Mac spend much time together offstage (especially Lindsey and Stevie). My assessment is that weeks go by on tour with the only interaction being onstage. I think a typical show day is Stevie showing up at the venue for hair and makeup, MAYBE running into Lindsey or John in a backstage hallway somewhere. Some nights, I don't think they see each other until about 10 minutes before they go on in a backstage common area. There was an amusing article in some magazine that talks about a time when management assigned Stevie a dressing room too close to Lindsey....and her pre-show music soundtrack was annoying him. He had to send an assistant over several times to tell her to TURN IT DOWN! I think they speak mostly through assistants.

[michelej1]

Hang on. What's Noel Gallagher got to do with anything? I don't get the joke. :shrug:

It relates to an interview comment Noel made. It's in a thread in the LB forum.

[WildHearted]

I think their relationship is mostly work and tour related, but I think they do have fun together during the shows (when they're not doing stuff to piss each other off). Clearly, the less they are fighting, the more they play up their relationship on stage. You can tell when they are on better or worse terms. I think a lot of their issues nowadays are mostly stupid little spats that come down to sensitivity regarding each other... The same way my mom will innocently say something and it gets totally under my skin even though I know she didn't mean anything, truthfully. Any time they poke fun at each other there's a 50/50 chance as to whether it is met with a laugh or total offense.

Stevie Nicks visits ‘School of Rock’ cast on opening night


By Ian Mohr 12/12/2015

http://pagesix.com/2015/12/12/stevie-nicks-visits-school-of-rock-cast-on-opening-night/


Fleetwood Mac rocker Stevie Nicks returned to “School of Rock” days after attending the musical’s opening night.

Spies said she and pals headed backstage after the show, where Nicks was gushing to the young cast.

“She joked to 12-year-old guitar prodigy Brandon Niederauer that ‘[Fleetwood Mac guitarist] Lindsey Buckingham is scared you’re going to take his job!’ ”

No word if those born in the “noughties” ever heard of the band behind ’70s classics “Rumors” and “Tusk.”

[Missy]

There has to be some sentiment there. Stevie is still writing songs about him after all. But on stage I think that a lot of it is an act. They make sure it gets seen. The audiences enjoy it - it's part of what a lot of them go to see.

Christine coming back to the band may have helped. It's probably helped balance them out and it's less of a 'boys club'.

This was part of the Rolling Stone piece from earlier this year. They really are living out 'The Chain'. It sounds a bit like Lindsey was sulking because Stevie was on the Rolling Stone cover on her own, and the rest of the band not included.

But her assistant had just been called out of the room on other business. “Um, Stevie?” Johnston says. “Lindsey has requested that we turn the music down.”

Nicks rolls her eyes, her expression matching the little girl’s the photograph. “OK, maybe we should go into a different tape, since he’s next door,” she says. “We can go with something that doesn’t have quite that much bang. All he’s probably hearing is the drum, like in a car. This is the first time he’s ever been next door to us. That can never happen again!”

She switches to a new playlist of singer-songwriters (Jackson Browne, Sting) and Lite FM-ish dude rock (Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray)...

After a few minutes, we hear pounding on the wall. The music still isn’t low enough. “Relations with Lindsey are exactly as they have been since we broke up,” says Nicks. “He and I will always be anatagonizing to each other, and we will always do things that will irritate each other, and we really know how to push each other’s buttons. We know exactly what to say when we really want to throw a dagger in. And I think that that’s not different now than it was when we were 20. And I don’t think it will be different when we’re 80.”

You Only Hit The People You Love.

Or,

She Drove Him To (H)it.

Stevie Nicks

“That electric crazy attraction between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks never dies, never will die, never will go away. He’s married, he’s happy, he has three beautiful children that I love. You know, he’s found a good, happy, calm, safe place — but who Lindsey and I are to each other will never change. It’s over. It doesn’t mean the great feeling isn’t there, it must mean that … you know, we’re Beauty and the Beast. It means that the love is always there but we’ll never be together, so that’s even more romantic.” — MTV, April 2009

I thought Mick was "the Beast":shrug:

Says the fool or anyone who believes it.

(not you michele)

Chalk that up to personal experience.

[Angel75]

What I don't get is if it's so fake and all an act, why does Lindsey who does not seem like a push over who would be bullied or cohersed into anything he didn't want to do, initiate and continually promote this kind of affection onstage especially the Sara hugs etc, when he would know it would humiliate and upset his wife?

it's called show business for a REASON . You would be quite surprised at what you have been sold by the machine that runs the entertainment industry

how do we know it would hurt or humiliate her?

He's been pretty clear it's all an act. He was asked once in an interview if it was confusing to his kids that he's onstage hugging or whatever this other person and he said no, they understand that it's all an act, a show. So if young kids (at the time) could get it, I'm sure the wife does. That act brings in the ka-ching.

There's no business like show business I know....

The more they act this out, the more people lap up the creepiness of it.

The fake kisses and affection on stage don't hurt Lindsey's wife, any more than an actor who kisses an actress in a play or movie hurts that actor's wife. Everyone knows it's a kiss between two characters, not between the two real people.

Same deal here. They see that the crowd goes nuts over the fake Lindsey-Stevie shows of affection, and that sells tickets, and ka-ching!

Stevie feeds the fire by making statements about the eternal romance of the love she and Lindsey share. Oh please, give me a break. People actually believe this nonsense? Obviously this "romance" fits in with Stevie's witchy, gauzy persona, but I don't believe even she really feels this way. Underneath all that lace she's a cold, calculating, and very successful businesswoman.

Personally, I am a fan of this band because I like their music, and I would be thrilled to see the end of the fake eternal-romance stuff.

[Angel75]

Since seeing them live for the first time on the Australian leg for the On with the show tour I was quite intrigued by their dynamic as I have only ever enjoyed FMs music and knew little about the bands soap opera especially as it was pretty affectionate for that part of the tour.
To say it is 100% all an act I think is untrue and unobjective. From what I see of LB he has generally a lot of integrity and honesty about who he is and how he feels and I think there is still genuine feeling there on his side, perhaps even if just nostalgia. He initiates 80% of the affection and often kisses SN in the dark and out of the spotlight, its not her with her hands all over him which you would expect if it was all acting.
When Mick was trying to get LB to move his microphone closer to SN for the Unleashed tour "so they could look into each others eyes", LB he said no way- therefore he only does what he wants to do, he's not pressured into anything.
LBs response to his Charlie Rose interview when asked to define his relationship to SN is so very telling. And his tears in response to when she crys during Say Goodbye in Vegas 2013....there's still a lot of emotion/ feeling there, these examples are clearly not acted or fake.....

Lindsey didn't say he told Mick "no way." Although, I'd agree Lindsey is not forced to do anything. I mean, if you listen to him they forced him to use a guitar pick, which ...

Exactly.... I just don't think LB would be affectionate just to get ticket sales. He isn't that kind of a fake guy. Plus very few people are obsessed with their relationship, 90% of FM fans are there for the music alone. People wouldn't stop going to their concerts if there was no interaction and they know that.
I think that they often feel real emotion on stage, LB especially.
