Go to his insta story. Very interesting. I’m sure we’ll have apologists coming out here, again, of course. But wow!

Cool thing to see him being more open with the fans. Also cool to see his optimism about a sequel to BuckVie but it irks me he says hes reached out and nobody has responded.

Thanks for posting, Elle.
He stated he has made constant overtures towards Christine, John, Stevie and Mick, since he was let go of FM, and so far he has had total "radio silence."
I noticed somebody asked him if he would do a follow-up to the "Buckvie" project and he hinted it was possible. I am curious if that question was answered before the unfortunate events. I am not seeing a date stamp on the instagram questions and answers??

what what what??

Can anyone give more on this, copy and paste his answers??

Don't Instagram Stories go away after a day? Thought they were like Snapchat. It wold be good to capture, even if someone just takes a pic of the screen full of questions and answers with their phone. You know, so when the doubters come in demanding PROOF and all that.

I'm starting to wish my mom didn't get me those tickets. I feel like I've betrayed Lindsey:sorry:

I hear ya.

I'm taking my kids to see FM for their first time. They saw Buckingham McVie last year and now they want "the real thing". Obviously I was hugely disappointed when all this came down.
They don't seem to care.

So I'm going with an open mind, but it feels like a betrayal. Will catch Lindsey on his tour too...

numerous fans screencapped all his responses. i will post them / link to them in LB forum, in appropriate thread.

here's the one people here are discussing as related to FM -

Clearly Lindsey is the “real thing” and not those four fantastic ex bandmates that are not answering his calls because hey! they’re too busy rehearsing.... for the past six months.

Glad to know we were not wrong. :nod:

I continue to be impressed as to how he’s reinventing, reaching out to connect and pivot. He’s rising above and moving on in the best way possible. And looks far more professional than his former friends and colleagues.

Indeed! He clearly has nothing to hide and he did nothing wrong.

Their loss. His fans are supporting him and waiting for his tour. :]:]

interestingly, he doesn't mention that he contacted John. it is unclear whether that's because he's actually talking to John, or he didn't even try to contact him for some reason (like John never talks to anyone anyway! ;) ).

yes, he responded (today) that he loved working with Christine and would love to do another BuckVie album - or something like that. i'll try to look for that caption.

that kinda weirdly collides with Christine not answering his calls (and we know she's not been mad at him since she stated that she knew nothing about firing).

I haven't bought a ticket yet, I'm hesitant to go alone. And it's Thanksgiving weekend when he's in Ohio, making it even more difficult. I was hoping a friend of mine, who's a big fan of artists like Bob Dylan, David Byrne, and Aimee Mann, would go with me, but he's not interested. He's not a FM fan, and he thinks Lindsey solo would be just like seeing FM, unfortunately :distress:

Thanks for posting this thread. Glad to see Lindsey using social media to speak to fans, very cool. Many years ago, I saw on a one hit wonder band's website they were taking song requests for concerts at each city they played at. I emailed the lead singer with a request for a rather obscure song from an earlier album, and he wrote back they didn't sing it live very often. So imagine my thrill when, the night of the concert, he introduced the song by saying it had been requested by a fan. I was blown away to know they added that song based on one request! And my friend didn't believe it was me until I showed him the email the next day.

So after 43yrs and everything he's done for him, not one of them could be bothered to return his call in eight months. Mick, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie should be ashamed of themselves. And how can anyone with an ounce of decency buy a ticket for this tour now ? Its no wonder many of the arenas are half empty with more and more tickets being dumped on resale. If Stevie Nicks has any sense (and famously she's not the sharpest tack in the box) then she'll leave the sinking ship before her solo career goes the same way. @mickfleetwoodofficial @stevienicks @christinemcvieofficial @suretonemusic @mikecampbellofficial @neilfinnofficial @anthonymasoncbs @billboard @rollingstone @ultimateclassicrock @variety @tmz_tv #lindseybuckingham #fleetwoodmac #mickfleetwood #christinemcvie #stevienicks #johnmcvie #neilfinn #mikecampbell #istandwithlindsey @kbchrush @istandwithlindsey</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/seeds_we_sow/?utm_source=ig_embed_loading" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;" target="_blank"> seeds_we_sow</a> on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2018-09-14T21:31:16+00:00">Sep 14, 2018 at 2:31pm PDT</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async defer src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

You're going to the show in Canton? Wow! Are you going by yourself? How many shows are you going to?

I know we've had some not so nice back and forth here on occasion, but if I went, I would love to see you there, if you're up for it. I've seen FM 4 times live, and only one of those times was with someone who loved the band as much as I did. The other times it was with casual friends.

My plan was to wait and see how the weather was, and if it was ok, go up and buy a good ticket from a scalper. I would love to be in the front row. The last concert I was at, I was in the front row, so after that, I'm spoiled. It was the best! I really should just commit to going, Lindsey's not getting any younger, and neither am I! I regretted not seeing Lindsey and Christine, but there was no way to know that might have been the last opportunity to see them. Now I realize every tour from here on out, whether it's Lindsey or FM,could be their last.

If I had a ticket to a Fakewood Mac show I would burn it..The remainder of Fleetwood Mac now treating Lindsey like a persona non grata is reprehensible .If it was not for Lindsey they would not be able to be out there milking the last drops from the Rumours teat and fleecing unsuspecting boomers and others with their patchwork quilt show.

Hey, thanks Elle for posting this. You do a lot to keep us all informed here on The Ledge.

I guess my first question is why would Lindsey's ex band mates not return his calls? Like they are totally cutting him out of their lives. Was what he did so reprehensible to them that they can't even communicate with him? Yet Lindsey still holds out hope for a BuckVie II. This whole situation has become so bizarre to me. I'm thankful Lindsey is reaching out on IG to the fans. We deserve to know.

If I had to wager a guess, I think its safe to say just because shes not responding doesnt mean theres bad blood between them. Perhaps her focus may be getting the tour over with and figuring out the next step and he is optimistic that may mean a project with him in between the Mac tour and whatever they do next.

Stevie and Mick can go eat rocks. For now I will stay optimistic about John and Christine. John is probably too mellow to care what with the ever revolving door of members and everything hes been through the past several years. When it comes to Christine, they will always have that beautiful musical bond and I cant see her as dealing with petty crap anymore. Most likely this was a business or contractual decision, or some long-standing loyalty to Mick, not a personal dig to Lindsey. She always seemed above that. Just look at her and John over the years.

Anyway, thats just my gut feeling.

Christine's probably been instructed not to speak to him. Still, a honorable woman would do so anyway, or at the very least acknowledge him. It's so insulting and hurtful to completely ignore him.

So disappointing. I'm not surprised, though. I was not among those who thought Christine was on Lindsey's side in any meaningful way; she may not have been in on the decision, but she's committed to the "new band" now. Also, she might be ashamed to talk to Lindsey, because she obviously has no intention of advocating for him within the band.

Perhaps Lindsey hopes that after FM is over and Christine has nothing to do / nothing to lose by talking to him, they'll collaborate again.

It is rather interesting that he didn't call John. It seems John has no power and no desire to go against Mick, so I guess it would be a waste of time, but I'm surprised he didn't give it a shot anyway. Maybe he doesn't have John's number!

in my experience, it is 1000 times better to meet up with huge fans than try to drag with you some person who doesn't really care. i've done both, and i have had tons of fun every time when i just met up with huge fans, who i don't have to shepherd and make sure they have good time. i'm meeting with some dear friends at the Canton show who are huge LB fans. i also told SteveMacD that we HAVE to meet up at this show, since he's coming too. so of course you should join us at the venue! don't miss it, i bet you won't regret it! :wavey:

The fact he reached out to them at all makes me think there are no “legal” ramifications involved here and it’s egos plain and simple. Every time some other little tid bit trickles out, my heart breaks all over again. Disgust

Literally. Every time I feel there's still some hope, some new tidbit pops up and bam! :distress::distress::distress::distress::distress::(:(:(

Now I only wish he would stop trying to contact them. Because, yes, no more of that nonsense in his life.

she's gone out of her way to say on tv, in their first interview post-firing that she knew nothing about it, that she went back to London not seeing anything being wrong and that she assumed the upcoming FM tour will be with LB, until she got the call once she was back in London. then she said Mick explained to her why they need to go this way, and now she understands. whatever that means.

why she's not saying anything or taking Lindsey's calls? idk, there are any number of guesses and people have been bringing them up. if i were her, i'd hope i would. there are some people in their 70s and 80s in my life who i knew when they were young. their thinking and priorities might be a bit different than when they were younger. :shrug:

It is rather interesting that he didn't call John. It seems John has no power and no desire to go against Mick, so I guess it would be a waste of time, but I'm surprised he didn't give it a shot anyway. Maybe he doesn't have John's number!

:laugh: maybe?

to be factual - we don't know whether he didn't call John, or if John and LB are talking. they are neighbors, after all. and on tours, John and LB usually stayed the same places, away from the rest of the band.

then again, in that one IG comment, KB added "and you too, John" after she first listed all other members. maybe John is just hard to reach!

interestingly, he doesn't mention that he contacted John. it is unclear whether that's because he's actually talking to John, or he didn't even try to contact him for some reason (like John never talks to anyone anyway! ;) ).

yes, he responded (today) that he loved working with Christine and would love to do another BuckVie album - or something like that. i'll try to look for that caption.

that kinda weirdly collides with Christine not answering his calls (and we know she's not been mad at him since she stated that she knew nothing about firing).

the John bit jumped out to me too.

Maybe John is being Switzerland and staying neutral....although the fact that Mick said he and Stevie worked on him to convince him they could go on leaves him with dirty hands in this.

i should re-listen that RS interview, but i just so don't feel like it. Mick may have said "we" or may have said that just he had to talk to John for few days to convince him. John is no-nonsense, somehow i don't think SN trying to convince him in anything would help.

I rewatched Destiny Rules the other night. Very instructive to rewatch it in light of these 2017-2018 events.

As evidenced in that documentary, the FM machine these days is ruled by Stevie, Mick and the various managers and promoters etc.

When Lindsey saw that his attempts to make the 2018 FM tour more than just a Classic East/West rehash was failing, and that Stevie insisted on three days between each date, he must have made his own demand that he at least be able to do some 'small machine' shows between each FM date, to balance out the sour taste of dedicating countless months of his life to the static FM machine. And because MusiCares was the deadline for the band's negotiations in terms of the promoters etc., Stevie and Mick opted to use Lindsey's bargaining ultimatum as an excuse to just drop him altogether, thereby making Stevie "happy" to enjoy her own, Lindsey-free world for the next ten years. And then the misguided 'strategy' on the part of the managers etc. was to impose a radio silence against Lindsey (so that the likes of Christine would not start having second thoughts), and to let their biggest bullsh#tter, Mick, do the bulk of the band's gaslighty PR.

Edit: What is clear from Destiny Rules is that they can be wavering about a difficult decision for years and only "resolve" it (through fights, ultimatums, and threats of breakup) at the eleventh hour. Since this current tour was supposedly planned years in advance, that dysfunctional MO is the reason why everything came right down to the wire around MusiCares. Basically, everyone placates Lindsey's preferences with vague assurances until the last minute, at which point Stevie spits the dummy and the corporate FM machine puts its foot down.

As for John being talked into the 'drop Lindsey' scheme--John would agree to anything to shut Mick up. :)

in my experience, it is 1000 times better to meet up with huge fans than try to drag with you some person who doesn't really care. i've done both, and i have had tons of fun every time when i just met up with huge fans, who i don't have to shepherd and make sure they have good time. i'm meeting with some dear friends at the Canton show who are huge LB fans. i also told SteveMacD that we HAVE to meet up at this show, since he's coming too. so of course you should join us at the venue! don't miss it, i bet you won't regret it! :wavey:

Hmmm. I just looked up how far away Canton Ohio is and it’s only 4 hours from me. Just inside what I’d be willing to drive for any Mac related show. I’m already goin to Tonawanda for sure but I’m also considering going to Canton too to meet Elle and Steve (my fellow lover of consistency! )

SteveMacD is going to be there, too, along with you? And now Hawkeye is thinking about going? Ok, I'm in! Thanks for the invite!

Now my question is, what's the best way to buy my ticket? Should I just stick to my plan of buying a really good ticket from a scalper the day of the show, or is that too risky? The last concert I was at, I had 2 tickets, and in front of the venue I traded my 2 tickets in row 8 for 1 front row center ticket. Should I try the same thing here? Also, is it too late to get a copy of Lindsey's album with my ticket purchase? Thanks a lot for any advice, I really appreciate it.

great!

i'd look at venue site first, but i do think most of the great tix upfront are gone right now. if you buy from the venue or from TM you will get CD with the purchase. if you buy from scalpers you won't. i'd keep checking with the venue just in case there are some close to the show drops. if there aren't you always will have the scalper route as the last resort.

here's the venue site - you can hover over different sections to see whether there are tickets left in the particular section and then click on sections with tickets to see where they are - like i said, you never know with venues like this one there might be late drops -https://cantonpalacetheatre.ticketforce.com/ordertickets.asp?p=606

the beauty about buying directly from the venue is also that you avoid exorbitant TM fees.

I just ordered my ticket from the venue- thank you so much for all the great tips! I didn't see anything about the CD but that's ok if I don't get a copy. I also bought a parking pass, just to be safe. My ticket is basically the best one I could get, which was section B, row X LOL! Which is a good sign that sales are going well but I'm definitely going to try to upgrade when I get there. I hate that the money I spend to upgrade will go to a scalper rather than the artist, though.

Oh I'm just waitin' on the countdown now!

re CD, in about a week or so (sometimes longer, but it will get there) you should get an email (usually from "lindsey buckingham" if from the venue, or from TM if you bought through TM) that will instruct you to pick between a CD or a download and give them info where to send it.

So interesting to see him being so open and interactive with the fans on social media. Would not have expected it from him lol. Not surprised at all to see that they're just not speaking to him. They aged physically past the 70s but not mentally. Truly childish.

if you ever talked to him (as many will get that chance this fall!) you would not be surprised at all how matter-of-fact he can actually be in normal conversations. but like you, i'm hugely, pleasantly surprised that he decided to actually do this, interact with fans on social media in writing, in real time. yes insta stories are like snaps and don't last beyond a day, but he knew going in that they'll be captured by people and live on.

This sounds right. I think his cannabis use has historically been pretty prolific too. I wonder if he still partakes of that. My guess is that he does (SN too), considering how accessible it is in California. I forget if it's legal there or not but regardless.

not sure. probably keeps up - we'll see what he tells you.

but he walks every day. there was some recent interview where he was asked to describe his regular day and he said he goes for a long walk every morning. and we know from all those pics with fans at various parks and roads from the last few FM tours that he walks almost every day while on tour too, regardless of where he is.

tours help too - he always has a little belly when not on tour, and that slims down as the tour is going on. :)

She can write, play, and sing--all in the studio. Her keyboard parts are noticeable and definitely hers on her songs from LB/CM; her voice sounds terrific--with the aid of studio gadgetry; and her songs hold up. She still does well much of what LB loves to do in the studio, which includes building up tracks and playing around with sounds.

I have no idea why the band isn't micing her keyboards in live performances. My assumption is they want a slicker feel--and Christine's live keyboard work has always been earthy and propulsive.

Her voice live appears to be shot. That is sad. But "Too Far Gone" sounded routinely very good on the LB/CM tour.
