Sheryl Crow still wants to join Fleetwood Mac

[Macfan4life]

Excellent interview with Sheryl on Howard Stern today. Here is a transcript. She was a friend of Prince which brought out the Stevie Stand Back story with Prince and then Howard asked about her joining Fleetwood Mac.

"You have to seize the moment, every opportunity, to tell the people that you care about that you care about them. And I wish I would have done that more," Sheryl said. She also bought into Howard's theory that Prince's personal injuries might have been caused by jumping around in his signature high heels. Stevie Nicks even once told her about playing basketball with Prince while he wore pumps.
Speaking of Stevie Nicks, Howard asked Sheryl about rumors she almost joined the band Fleetwood Mac. Sheryl revealed she was close to coming on as a new member but things simply didn't line up. "I wish I would've. I wish I could have," she said.
Howard heard it was longtime member Lindsey Buckingham who had a problem with inducting Sheryl into the band. "Well, I felt like if there was gonna be bad blood when I joined, that perhaps maybe I shouldn't. I didn't want to upset something that was already so beautiful," Sheryl said. "I would still love to do it. I'm putting it out there."

Both Robin and Howard joked that bad blood in Fleetwood Mac is not a bad thing since the band seemed to thrive on it :eek:
I would have loved to have seen Stevie play basketball with Prince. She mentioned it happened at Sunset Sound during the recording of Stand Back.

Just wondering why Lindsey had a problem with Sheryl joining the band? Is it just because it would be someone new?

Just wondering why Lindsey had a problem with Sheryl joining the band? Is it just because it would be someone new?

She is a close friend of Stevie's.

[LB Freakazoid]

I think it was, "how would it work?" Would FM play Sheryl songs like a backing band? Would she step into Chris's songs? I remember seeing some interview where he could not wrap his head around how you could combine the two entities that were as big as they are.
I agree with him. It would have been clunky.

[BLY]

I love Sheryl but this would never have worked at that point in time. The "Buckingham Nicks " years of the MAC were great now it's time for the "return" of Buckingham McVie.

[aleuzzi]

Sheryl is a talented singer-songwriter and performer, but there's no way she would have worked in FM.

[SteveMacD]

I think it was, "how would it work?" Would FM play Sheryl songs like a backing band?

Ask Dave Mason.

And, really, it's not like that would have been new. It's not like they didn't do Stand Back, HAEWAFY, Go Insane, Get Like You Used To Be, I'd Rather Go Blind, and Don't Let Me Down Again.

[dreamsunwind]

It was a terrible idea, I'm glad he and whoever else didn't want it made sure it didn't happen.

[SteveMacD]

Until Christine came back, Colbie Caillat would have been my pick. She had a few of her own hits, her voice could easily cover Christine's songs, and there's a natural connection with the band, although I didn't know how bad relations between Ken and the band had gotten.

[Lola]

Agree 100%

[Lola]

Agree 100 with those who are glad it didn't happen. For some reason my response didn't show where it thought it would.

[dreamsunwind]

After a band breaks it big with a specific lineup and has a string of successes with that lineup, that lineup is seen as classic/definitive. Adding someone else to it, especially someone like Sheryl Crow who was already known for her own career, is bizarre in my opinion and a terrible idea regardless.
While I wasn't around back then, that's basically how I feel about what the band did in the late 80s throughout the 90s prior to The Dance. From my perspective, it was Mick milking the gravy train as far as he could take it.

[Macfan4life]

I understand why Stevie wanted this. Christine had left and she wanted a friend in the band. But thankfully Lindsey's protest came through. I don't think Mick or John would have cared. Long term it would have really hurt the band and Lindsey could have left again and everything could have collapsed.

[bwboy]

In an interview with Lindsey, he said that Stevie was the one who got upset when Sheryl started floating the idea in the media. He even said Stevie's friendship with Sheryl cooled for a while. This interview was collected in the book Fleetwood Mac on Fleetwood Mac by Sean Egan.

Lindsey is on the record opposing this from the beginning. He did interviews where he openly objected to this. He even mocked the idea what her role would be... to do Christine songs?
Stevie was best friends with Sheryl. I think you have the story mixed up. It was Lindsey who heard about it in the media and got pissed and shot it down immediately. It was Stevie that offered it to Sheryl without consulting the rest of the band. Then it hit the media and Lindsey responded in the media.
Nice try :)

If I remember well I've read that Stevie would have been happy if Sheryl had joined FM, what she (and all of FM for that matter) wasn't very happy with was the fact that Sheryl immediately shared the story with the media before it was actually decided if she would enter or not.
Perhaps that was the bad blood Sheryl was referring to, she must have got a glimpse of what FM internal strives are like then.

[bombaysaffires]

Lindsey's issue was anybody other than Chris singing Chris's songs... he felt it became, in his words, "lounge-y" i.e. like a cover band even though the other 4 people onstage had in fact played on the original songs. He was never a supporter of doing the Queen, Journey, Van Halen et al thing of replacing a singer and having he new person sing on the old hits. So no matter who it was or how they'd do it, to him it would be second-class.

this was because Sheryl wasn't following the rules. Fleetwood Mac has a story they want told about things, and there's a hierarchy in the band... I think Stevie didn't like Sheryl not deferring to the wishes of the more "senior" band members wishes on how to roll the whole idea out. And I'm sure Stevie knows that they'd have to handle it in a way that didn't go contrary to Lindsey's wished. Sheryl opened a can of worms by talking about it before the band had come to consensus about how to frame it, how to spin how this wasn't a lounge act thing to do etc.

[Jondalar]

It's obvious they didn't want to make the band the Sheryl Crow.

Thank you. I'm guessing you haven't read the book Fleetwood Mac on Fleetwood Mac, which reprints the interview with Lindsey Buckingham in which he made those comments about Sheryl and Stevie.

That doesn't negate anything you said Lindsey said, btw. Both stories can be equally true.

i'm agreeing with bwboy, for once - what's the world coming to?!?!?! :lol: :angel:

i've seen Sheryl live btw, and esd extremely pleasantly surprised - she is a great and dynamic performer, who can actually add to FM if they ever decided to go that way. i think it's actually pretty cool and brave of her to not mind just putting it out there that she'd still love to join the band, whether or not they are interested.

Lol! It's enough to make Murrow Turn Over in His Grave!

Btw, in the April 21 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Sheryl says her next album will be a collaborative effort- "I called Keith Richards... I called Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris." So clearly, Stevie and Sheryl have made up completely.

[Macfan4life]

IMHO common sense tells you the real story. And its exactly how I remember it when it happened. I totally believe Stevie is going to side with her best friend and not turn on her best friend for Lindsey Buckingham. In those days Sheryl and Stevie were so close and two peas in a pod. Do you really think she is going to side with Lindsey and scold Sheryl for something she asked Sheryl something she wanted to do.

Yep, it was about power. There were Rumours of bringing in Pete Townsend in the 80's.

How about Don Henley talking about merging the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac in the mid 80's. Don Henley was on the cover of Musician Magazine or Drummer Magazine shortly after Building the Perfect Beast came out. He was raving about Lindsey Buckingham who played on his solo album. He said the two had talked and it would be so cool to merge both bands into some creation or something like that.
It was probably all the cocaine talking but I am sure that magazine article can be found. It was 1985.

Right, just because you have two appealing acts, doesn't mean they'd be appealing together or mesh.

That was Stevie's way of saying: I gave up having children for Fleetwood Mac.

She's a hoot.

I miss her.

Crow on the other hand may match Stevie for casting couch acumen, but otherwise would be totally inappropriate as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

Because she's terrible.

And she still wants to join??! Did she miss the memo about Christine being back. (Oh! I get it! She wants to replace Stevie. Back-stabber.)

I'm glad that you know all the facts. It's about time someone around here does!:wavey:

From one old grizzled veteran of the Ledge Wars to another, I truly don't know all the facts, BUT have always treated the music business the way it should be: A BUSINESS!! Fact is, Sheryl would add nothing, despite (at that time) Christine's absence. I think one dose of estrogen per day from Stevie is more than enough for Lindsey. He's got enough of that at home with all the girls and no boys.

[lilyfee]

Sexist much? Sheryl Crow joining or not joining the band was not based on anyone's sexual attraction to Stevie. Nor, as a matter of fact, was Stevie's membership/"leverage" in the band. Stevie's "leverage," which IMHO clearly endures today, is grounded in established songwriting talent and performance ability.

I think one dose of estrogen per day from Stevie is more than enough for Lindsey. He's got enough of that at home with all the girls and no boys.

And as for too much estrogen, are you kidding me? Two women (one theatrical, one chill) on three men (2/3 equally dramatic, one chill)? Poor, poor Lindsey. :rolleyes: Also, doesn't Lindsey have a son??

I can't picture Sheryl in Fleetwood Mac, because there is no way she could replace Christine, if that was the original intention. It would be an odd pairing for sure. :distress: Based on the earlier posts it sounds like Stevie asked her privately about joining and Sheryl killed her own chances when she went to the media. But who knows what Stevie had originally envisioned for her, other than a companion in the band.:shrug: As a background singer or something like that, she would probably be alright... As a lead singer/songwriter, that would drastically change the dynamic of the band for the worse.

[rubylounge]

Until Christine came back, Colbie Caillat would have been my pick. She had a few of her own hits, her voice could easily cover Christine's songs, and there's a natural connection with the band, although I didn't know how bad relations between Ken and the band had gotten.

Colbie was just playing a venue with Mick in Maui a week or two ago. She sounded great on GYOW.

When I met him (Mick), one of the most prominent things I noticed was that he smelled AMAZING. Like a very soft cloud of a wonderful, gentle aftershave was encompassing him. He was wearing very soft and flowing scarves, a cool shirt and vest, and he smelled BEAUTIFUL. He is the last one of all 5 that I would have voted to meet, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how ethereal he smelled.

I don't really get why refer to some commercial flop of a new release as a big deal? Are you saying The Rolling Stones may wanna consider joining some other band because their new music may be a commercial flop? Sheryl is an established artist, creating and releasing new music while successfully touring. She's doing fine. If she says she wants to join FM that's not because of any desperation over her own career as a solo artist.

Well the Rolling Stones are filthy rich and make hundreds of millions per tour so apples and oranges .Sheryl is playing smaller venues and maybe some casinos.I read that an older artist of similar stature Carly Simon worried that she was running out of money even with her inheritance .Not everyone is as rich as La Nicks.

I was shopping at a Bristol Farms in la about 11 years ago and walked up to the register and who was sitting at a table by himself with some wine bottles. Yup Mick himself. Went and bought some wine had him sign (don't care about autographs but wanted to chat with him) and I did not find him that friendly at all. Also saw him at Fleetwoods in Hawaii and he was NOT approachable at all.

Normally I would completely agree if it wasn't for the fact that he charges people a billion dollars for his meet and greets. I like Mick just as much as anyone but he will not lift a pinky if he can't make money off it.

Yeah.. like ChiliD astutely pointed out once he is the Daffy Duck of rock.

ummm he was at a table selling wine and was NOT that nice.

maybe he was just reacting to a specific individual and their personality:shrug:

It's quite amazing that an average drummer has bilked many millions of people out of their hard earned cash. LOST IT ALL, MORE THAN ONCE, and continues his...bilkage! Perhaps more amazing is that we keep falling for it!

The man surely knows whose Caddy trailer hitch, to hook his rusty old sled to. #prohookertipsbymick:lol:

I've met him once, and he was very gracious.

[TheWildHeart67]

I've met him once, and he was very gracious.

I met him December 28, 1999, at a Stevie solo show at the House of Blues in Hollywood, California.
He was seated, in a roped-off area, before the show, and I stepped right over the ropes and walked up to him as security watched. LOL.
I shook his hand and told him he was my fave drummer, and he thanked me, and I said "Enjoy the show," and walked away.
Later, after the concert, my friend that attended the show with me, somehow managed to talk her way back-stage, and as I stood out-side the back-stage doors waiting, Mick walked right up to me, and shook my hand again and asked me my name and we talked a few minutes about how great the concert was.
He was very nice. Very much a gentleman.
After a few minutes, he excused himself and walked back-stage. I was bummed he didn't invite me! LOL.
When my friend finally came out, she said she saw Sharon and a few band members, but security was tight and couldn't see Stevie.
We heard some screaming and saw Stevie being escorted to her limo, and I screamed her name and she turned and smiled at us and waved.
That was quite a fun evening!
I also remember standing in line before the show, her brother, Christopher walked by us and talked to fans in line. Most of the questions people asked him were regarding "Trouble in Shangri-la," asking when it was finally being released, would any songs be performed at the concert, etc. He was pretty tight-lipped about it and said it was almost finished, and no, he didn't think she'd perform any of the new songs before it was released.
One other interesting part of that evening was, the lady that gave Stevie the Snoopy in the famous HBO "Stevie Nicks in concert" video concert was standing next to me in line.
It was such a fun night.
So many of us die-hard fans all talking before the show, waiting to get in.
And the show ROCKED!!!
Concerts at clubs are so intimate and so much fun!
I loved living in Los Angeles in the late 90's and 2000's!

Sheryl has just performed Go Your Own Way on the Chris Evans Breakfast show on BBC radio 2...

I did note this in Macnuggets too....
She said she was going to sing a cover of one of her favourite bands.

Pretty cool audition..

[Phil Lee]

I just came here to post about Sheryl's cover. I think she does an excellent job as did Brian May on backing vocals :)

[TrueFaith77]

I'm too repulsed to bother checking it out.

[vivfox]

It was dreadful LOL:eek:

Have to disagree just a little...

She was not brilliant and quite flat in parts,
However it was 9:15 in the morning and she was accompanying herself
on acoustic .....LIVE....tho I understand Brian May was also a guest and helped out with backing singing.....

She was okay doing a cover of one of her "favourite bands".

Why was Sheryl Crow there instead of Lindsey? My two guitar Gods would have met and I would literally have died! :blob1::blob1::woohoo:

Brian is so sweet! :)

Brian is very sweet, you're right......I don't think he performed but I
didn't hear all of the show.

Sheryl must be over here promoting her latest Album as she was on Graham Norton to show later in the day.

Dry your eyes now....

[jcalzaretta]

Sheryl would not be a good fit.

She was doing a whistle stop promo tour for her new album. She was on Graham Norton on Friday night (recorded on Thursday), played the Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday night then came up here to Manchester to play at the Albert Hall.

I went to that show. Sheryl and her band were excellent. This is the 5th time I've seen her live but the first time since 1999. She has so much energy and can still hit all the high notes.
