View Full Version : Chances of an Australian tour
secret love

Unlike many, much as I love Lindsey, I am really excited to see the new line up. I was so excited that I bought a ticket for Sacramento with no thoughts as to how much it would cost me to get there from sydney Australia. So I don't think I will make it to Sacramento and there will sadly be an empty chair.
Do you think I will get the opportunity to see my favourite band in Sydney?

Yes, i expect them to come to Australia for sure... especially since Neil Finn is on the payroll now..

Even with Neil Finn in the band and his huge Aus and NZ following I really don't think the tour will be international now due to poor ticket sales in the US. I think (even though I expect ticket sales would be good in these countries due to Neil being there and the backlash not so evident) I think they would be too scared to contemplate a loss in profits.... Well Mick would be especially... It simply costs far too much to take tours down under unless you are like Adele, Pink or Ed Sheeran who can guarantee multiple sell out shows in every city.

Really? Then why are all other threads similar to this, in the post Rumours forum? This is a forum about the RUMOURS lineup. Not the new cash grab line up. I think you are mistaken and we are allowed to discuss the breaking up of the rumours era and LB, not future plans of this new incarnation. Anyone else agree?

With Neil Finn co-headlining, Aus and NZ sound like their best potential markets, so if profitability is an issue, maybe they should just pack up and relocate to Australia permanently.
Lots of wineries for Mick to run, apartments for Stevie to dance around, and coral reefs for John to sail. And less volcanoes and earthquakes for Christine.
I can already picture what Mick would say. "Fleetwood Mac has always been an Australian band, from day one." :laugh:

I hope you do. They do seem to love Australia, so chances seem good. I wouldn't worry too much about the naysayers beating the drum about supposed poor ticket sales. I intend to go but since my shows are still months away, I plan to wait till closer to the event to purchase. I imagine I am not the only one doing so. The band will do just fine despite what some might hope.

Yes, really, and it’s been explained.
As I've already said in another thread on the Rumours forum, discussions about the new line-up in our opinion (meaning we Moderators) should stay in the Rumours forum. If anyone feels more at ease [in Post-Rumours] it's not a problem at all but I don't see why anyone should give up the right to post there.

You must not only like this new line up, but LOVE it very much to buy a ticket without thinking how much it'd cost you to get from Sydney to Sacramento. Don't worry about the empty chair. You already bought the ticket. :rolleyes:
I don't think they will make it to Australia/NZ. I don't even think they will make it to Europe. Ticket sales are poor, and it's not wishful thinking, it's the truth. The band might do just fine. Just that they're not used to "just fine".
Having said that, I also don't see a Lindsey's solo tour anywhere, so losses are evident on both sides.

Neil, Stevie, and Fleetwood Mac always do well there, so it’s a very safe bet. Safer than a European tour.

Exactly, as fans who don't want to see FM without LB and no solo tour being announced we are losing out in every way.
However as LB doesn't tour outside the US, international fans are the ones who miss out on every level.
Obviously LB will do what he wants in the future to make him happy, but do you now understand why some fans 'selfishly' want him to return to FM some day as it may be the only chance they get to see him play again?

At the fundraiser event from a while back, a few fans who went said he told them he plans on touring in the fall. But considering that it's mid-July now and nothing has even gotten close to being announced, I think it's possible that situation has changed.

Hmmm, I was talking about losses on both sides of FM people, not fans.
I have no idea who you are but fans wanting Lindsey back on FM has nothing to do with their only chance of seeing him. As far as we know it could be the only chance for all of us, and I still say: "no, thank you".
Fans trashing Stevie and then waiting for Lindsey to return to FM so they could pay big bucks to see him and also her and Mick by association makes no sense to me. To you maybe, but not to me.
It has nothing to do with international fans. Many of them traveled last year to see Stevie but not Lindsey and Christine. And many of them won't see the band ever again, with or without Lindsey.
Why waste your time blaming Stevie and Mick if you will see them again in concert if Lindsey returns one day? :wavey:

I think the iheart radio gig in September will be the litmus test for the real reception of the karaoke spectacle they look to be evolving into . if US ticket sales pick up post, there may be a shot at some international exposure. Otherwise, I really think this has the risk of being a one shot US only tour.

Didn't like that Karoake either, but really don't want to see a fake FM. I bet if they do a concert video we will get those EXTREMELY cheesy Stevie closeups that were CRINGE inducing on the Shake the Cage tour. OMFG was it embarrassing. LB would have never let that happen, but happen it will with tambourine b/witch now in charge.

Just like her Red Rocks video. Like we wouldn’t notice her hair, makeup, and wardrobe changed? I mean, if she’s the reason why they were popular, shouldn’t she also be blamed for why they became unpopular, these videos as primary evidence????
OMFG was it embarrassing.
The worst.

No, he just made a Fleetwood Mac album, let it be credited to a different entity, went along with the whole duet album story, used a ton of prerecorded backing tracks during concerts, and admitted he was just doing Fleetwood Mac shows for the money. Yeah, that’s way better.

Just like we really get you don’t support it. I’m just giving some balance. I don’t “love” it. “It” hasn’t even happened, yet. It could be awful. It won’t be, at least not because of the new guys. Bob Welch wasn’t FM in 1971 and Lindsey and Stevie weren’t FM in 1975. It becomes something, and my curiosity is strong.
What would the upcoming tour have had with Lindsey that would make it worthwhile without new material? “Let’s play THIS song from ‘Tusk…’" Unless it was a farewell tour, what compelling reason would there be to go? I agree it’s OGB’s fault, but I also get the equation. Old FM songs, maybe something new, perhaps my favorite pop song of the 80s, and a great guitarist. It could be much worse.

She should have been fired back in 2005. I’m not a Stevie fan, and I get the feeling you think because my name used to be Steve MacDougall that your Stevie digs are somehow offensive to me. Rest assured, they are not. I am not a Stevie fan or a Lindsey fan. Mick, John, and Christine are my interests with this band.

For the billionth time, he was talking in reference to the Classic shows. And given a lot of the reception/reviews those concerts got, in retrospect it's not a surprise he said that.
And he didn't just "let" it be credited to a different entity. A Fleetwood Mac album without Stevie on it was never gonna happen and he and everyone knew it.

Because it's too f*cking late in the game now. This ain't 19 f*cking 87. They became an established legacy act. LEGENDS, if you will...
The personalities are INTEGRAL to the performance. This ain't swapping out Darrin Stevens for a lookalike!

I have no idea who you are but fans wanting Lindsey back on FM has nothing to do with their only chance of seeing him. As far as we know it could be the only chance for all of us, and I still say: "no, thank you".
Well if I sent you a picture of my drivers license would that be better?
I don't understand why you write with so much venom and anger... Are we not on the same page?
But you've twisted my words or else fail to understand them, I know it makes you furious to think Lindsey could ever go back to FM but the idea of (although I expect is highly unlikely) Stevie and Mick having to sincerely apologise and probably grovel does make me feel a little bit more at peace with this. Again I doubt this will happen but if it was to, like I said, then I would be pleased to see him in concert again as I am not in a position to travel to the US when Lindsey solo tours there.

I know you’re not a Stevie fan, but you’re talking about BuckVie as if it was Lindsey’s choice. It wasn’t. Buckvie was a product of Stevie’s final attempt to inflict some pain into Lindsey by refusing to record an album once again. .

I don't expect that they will sell as well as Christine's return tour. If Lindsey were still in the fold I doubt they would sell as well either. It would be hard to match the novelty of Christine's big return. With that said, they won't be playing to empty arenas. There is still a long time to sell tickets. I expect things will fill in more as events get closer, especially if things go well with the I Heart Radio gig.

To be honest, I was not really excited about FM touring Europe again in early 2019, because of the concert I attended in 2015. It wasn't that good. They are getting old, they play all the same songs and I've welcomed Christine back, already. The prices were just astronomic and would have been even worse. And that was WITH Lindsey.
So in a way, I'm kinda relieved that they will probably not dare to show their asses in europe, because noone here cares about some Heartbreakers dude and the other bloke. And since they fired their most valuable member when it comes to the quality, entertainment and energy on concert, I feel no obligation to see this band of backstabbing, respectless karaoke singers.
Win - win for me.
Not that that makes it easier, I'm still totally disapointed in my favorite band of 40 years. Looks like they never deserved my attention or unwavering support.

I thought the same thing, but these two have known each other for decades. So, it's fun to watch them interact and disagree.
And it's fun for me because SteveMac is not a $tevie fan.. so sometimes I feel he might explode with irony.
At the end of the day, they both are just being honest.

If Lindsey were still in the band, tickets would sell much better. Every poll I saw on Twitter fans say they're not going because Lindsey's not in the band anymore, not because of ticket prices.

Well, I'm assuming "that user" is me. I don't know why we have usernames here if we don't use them. Angel75 wants Lindsey back in the band, no matter what. I don't. Why my opinion means I'm a vindictive and angry person, as he/she has described me in the first place, I don't know. But I think I'm entitled to my opinion without having to justify it everywhere.

I really want to let this go but you keep quoting things I've apparently said which are completey untrue. You either struggle to understand me or don't read my comments at all.
I have NEVER said I want Lindsey back in the band no matter what.... I said I want him to do what ever makes him happy but if he did decide he WANTS to rejoin then that would selfishly mean I would have a better chance of ever seeing him in concert again...

For someone who’s trying to “let something go”, you can’t stop quoting everyone who wants to talk about it, even those who are constantly bashing Lindsey, like gldstwmn.
I’m not “struggling to understand you”. I really hope you’re not implying what I think you are. I’m not stupid and I learnt your language when I was six. And I’m gonna leave things that way before it gets nastier.
Enjoy your Mick and Stevie’s concerts, if they ever decide they need Lindsey back.

All of the above, expected yes, no and maybe. Expected discussion about the current line up and their touring schedule. Didn't expect rehashing of poor Lindsey how could they fire him etc. That is permeating every thread on the Ledge whether it is relevant or not. I am sad to see Lindsey go but two out of three songwriters remain so like the Say You Will line up, this line up is still Fleetwood Mac.
There are plenty of other threads designed for your express purpose of bemoaning the loss of Lindsey, please take that discussion there. Thanks.

Sincere apologies SecretLove it was certainly not my intentions to 'hijack' this thread but when you are accused of writing and doing things that are simply untrue or completely twisted then one can not help but retaliate. I am not generally argumentive by nature but I dislike manipulation and injusticeor bullying in any form.
Your thread is a good one and should continue to be respected. I did write early on my thoughts about not thinking it would be international because of current US sales but that may change. NF is certainly the drawcard being Australasian and those from down under generally in my opinion are less aware of the soap opera and drama associated with the band and so may be less concerned that LB is not playing. Who knows?

This is interesting actually as the venues are different from the OWTS tour... Some of the venues in this link are arenas not stadiums this time which would make sense as the sales will be less and there are fewer cities with 'planned' shows so there could be some substance to this....

Go back to 1990: Remember the magazine cover stories, the TV interviews, the rehearsal film from Santa Monica CA (with great versions of Landslide and Go Your Own Way)? This latest configuration should give up some teasers to whet the appetite. Remember in 1998 when Jim Ladd aired some audio from Stevie's tour rehearsal (After the Glitter Fades and Gold Dust Woman)? Let some stuff out! Revive the official band site and post some multimedia! Ever since about 1998, Fleetwood Mac marketing has been a bunch of dorks.

That's because Lindsey left by his own choice in 87. While that might have been a little bit of drama, it's nothing compared to now. They're now in the final chapter of the book, and f*cked it up like this? They RUINED it. They're embarrassed, and hoping it will blow over. It won't.

I do think they are deliberately quiet now--I agree with you Homer. They are completely aware of the bad press, and it's not blowing over. Stevie's little tune with Leeanne Rimes trickled out and maybe generated interest and got her name in people's minds. Perhaps we see something heading into the gig in Vegas in September. Their last 2 interviews were epic disasters and it's pretty clear they were less than genuine as to what actually went down. They gotta get this crew singing from the same hymn book before they let them loose again.

$tevie: I told Mick, I'm not going out there and lying again. I don't care how bad we need the new promotion. And he knows it was his decision to get rid of Lindsey. I could have had Lindsey stay, but it was Mick who decided to uproot this band. I don't need this band. It was always mine and Lindsey's band and without him I could just have my solo career.

I agree. With the exception of Finn who manages his own twitter account and knows directly the upset and backlash, the others who have assistants managing their social media have been constantly bombarded by fans about how revolted we are at LBs firing and they have gone into hiding. What defensive do they have? And with KB exposing their lies... It doesn't make them look pretty does it?!

Because now they are officially DEAD, except in Australia, just to keep this thread on topic.

The Mamas and Papas are one of my fave groups since the mid 60's, and they're the prototype for dysfunctional bands like our beloved Mac.
However, that biz from Mckenzie about her diddles with dad were just horrifying and I grimace just thinking about it...but I'll never stop listening to Monday Monday etc. just because the music is too darn good..
so I'm thinking the same as I'm sitting here listening to Future Games...that music is just too darn good, they can't muck it up for me now no matter what they do.
For some reason I have incredible empathy for Lindsey and frankly, without him the band ceases to exist for me. I still like the other band members but regret them making such a decision. I think it still sucks and would rather have seen them just break up.

USA: "Gday mates! Buy them now, and for a limited time only, we'll throw in an extra tambourine!"
Australia: "(looks at Australian ticket prices) Er, any chance you could make them 'cheaper than free'??"
USA: (thrusts Fleetwood Mac 'Mixed Bag' at customer)
Australia: "(inspects contents) Hey, there's no Lindsey Buckingham in here!"
USA: "No Questions Asked! (slams shop shut)"

Omg...The Mamas and the Papas. That situation is probably the only real time I think something personal about a band member legitimately tarnished their music. You hear about people doing all kinds of things, especially in the days of intense drug use, but... that is just... something WAY beyond overlookable. Especially because John was really the creatively musically gifted one of the group when it came to creating their music but to know he was disturbed like that is hard to stomach. And especially how Michelle for a long time said she didn't believe it. Granted she did marry and have a kid with him herself, it makes sense she would be in denial. But the whole thing, just, yikes.

HEY! I started this thread. NO threadjacking on my watch!!!!:xoxo:
Wow, you really do enjoy being an arsehole, not just to me but to anyone who disagrees with you, or stands up for keeping discussions relevant to the concept/idea of the thread... I've seen you make fun of many, many people. Occasionally they laugh back, but mainly they don't, and you couldn't give a sh!t.

I love almost everyone here. When you rant about 'don't you dare post off topic on MY thread', it comes across as childish.
If you'll notice, I wasn't the first one to point it out.
That said, my friend(that I loaned that money to, for all who remember everything here) is doing an internship in MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, as I type this. Just to stay on topic. :wavey:
Now why don't you go jump on everyone else who made fun of "staying on topic"?

I’ve been to Australia and New Zealand for work a number of times. Lots of fun. I enjoyed all the sheep. And the ocean, beaches, and accents. Part of the Commonwealth!! Hurray.

What is Australia anyway, without Lindsey? Just an empty island strung along a tissue of vicious lies and duplicity, really.
