Shout for lindsey during concerts!

[silversprings99]

I'm shocked after having read Lindsey speaking on Instagram. Not answering his calls for more than 7 months??? For the people who are planning to go to the Fleetwood Mac concerts: let's all shout very hard for Lindsey before the concerts starts and after every Lindsey song they perform! Give the band the message we want him back!

[Macfan4life]

People did that in 1987 and 1990 in the concerts I attended.
Its not a surprise the band has cut him off. I'm surprised that people are surprised. Its clear they feel guilty and don't want to open up those wounds. Ignore what happened and move on. Its the only way they can go on.

[BombaySapphire3]

The problem with this is that most of who are appalled by the firing of Lindsey could probably not bear to sit through a Fakewood Mac show now. However if I had to go I'd do it.I have a deep bass/baritone voice that really carries too:lol:

[sodascouts]

Shout what? Perhaps "I MISS LINDSEY!" One hates to be rude and disruptive, but it would be nice to let them know of our discontent. Still, it might ruin the show for others if you did it a lot. Perhaps just once at the end so it doesn't bother anyone too much - except for them. Maybe "BRING BACK LINDSEY!" as Mick tells everyone to be kind to each other. (Hypocrite.)

I would never be able to bring myself to heckle anyone, though... even these guys.

[BLY]

As much as I hate what has happened to my all time favorite band in my opinion it’s extremely rude to shout out Lindsey’s name at a show. The people at theses shows paid good money to see this incarnation of the band to perform and they should enjoy the experience. I guess because the MAC does have some younger fans this will probably happen.

[mtkad]

They'll only encourage it if Stevie decides to tell stories involving Lindsey to set up songs. That aspect of this tour will be interesting to say the least! I wonder if she'll avoid it alltogether?

[sodascouts]

They'll only encourage it if Stevie decides to tell stories involving Lindsey to set up songs. That aspect of this tour will be interesting to say the least! I wonder if she'll avoid it alltogether?

I'm wondering that, too. Will he get excised entirely? Will stories like "I wrote this song when Lindsey and I lived in LA before hitting it big" suddenly become "I wrote this song when I was living in LA"? Will he just be erased from the narrative?

Will she tell the same stories, not acknowledging the change in any way?

Or will there be some kind of empty rhetoric thrown in? "I wrote this song when Lindsey and I were living in LA... and I'll always love Lindsey, I wish him well, anyway when Lindsey and I were living in LA...."

I highly doubt she'll say anything revealing or snarky. Not unless she has no self-control at all.

We'll find out soon!

[SteveMacD]

My hunch is that she probably won’t tell those stories, instead opting to tell stories about Tom Petty.

oh she'll talk about LB. just read her interviewing Paris Jackson that just came out. people are telling me it has her keep talking about Lindsey.

about shouting messages to performers on the stage and "heckling" at the shows? i've been known to shout stuff to both Lindsey and the whole band at shows, and in 99% of cases people around me were just amused and had no problems with that (while people are usually seriously pi**ed with people coming to the stage in front of their expensive seats and dancing etc). so arguments about "spoiling it for others who paid good money" by yelling some messages are pure bs. it can start interesting interactions and exchanges. just watch vids from U2 shows this year! very interesting exchanges, as you can imagine with different views of audiences on Bono's activism. :thumbsup:

[elle]

haha as usual your hunch is probably off. :p

she'll talk about both.

[ryan4136]

How about an old “We paid for Fleetwood Mac” after the crowded house and TBHB songs get played.

[sodascouts]

oh she'll talk about LB. just read her interviewing Paris Hilton that just came out. people are telling me it has her keep talking about Lindsey.

Hmm. I'll have to check that out.

I think it depends on what you're shouting and how often you do it. I'll be honest with you. 99% of the time, it's not cool, IMHO.

(I'm sure you're part of the 1% that IS cool, so don't be offended by my remarks below.)

I have so many examples of lame shouting at shows.... At one show, a lady hollering "I WANT TO F**K YOU LINDSEY" multiple times throughout the night.... people trying to get Lindsey's attention and talk to him every time he gets within a ten foot radius of their location at the stage.... "HEY LINDSEY! LINDSEY! OVER HERE!" Ugh, let the man do his freaking job!!

I remember one time, this girl in front of me at the stage was seriously tying to show him pics on her phone! "HEY LINDSEY! LOOK! LOOK!" He glanced, nodded and turned away and, encouraged, she tried to show him some MORE photos - "LINDSEY! LINDSEY!" before finally quitting when he didn't come back again.

I stood at the stage in front of Lindsey for every show during the last tour - I went to four - and it was always the same. So many girls trying to get him to talk to them. So many people shouting at him throughout the show, trying to engage him in conversation.

Then there's the oft-slurred "I LURVE YOU LINDSEY" that always seems to get blurted out at least once at a quiet and intense moment in a song at some point in the show... There's the jerks who holler song titles they want to hear (I know we all hate those people, but it's the same sense of entitlement, the same attitude of "Lindsey needs to hear what I think, so I'm going to shout it at top volume.") I could go on and on.

Newsflash to these fans: The show isn't about you and Lindsey. If he comes over during Gypsy and chats to fans or something like that, that's cool. I've had some exchanges with him myself that way.

But when he's doing his thing and there are people who decide they want to have their own little exchange with him at top volume - and a lot of time, those people's comments aren't nearly as clever and funny as they think they are - count me among those who are unimpressed.

It's especially bad if they do it multiple times because he is foolish enough to respond. "This song is from Tango in the Night..." "YEAH! LOVE THAT ALBUM LINDSEY! YEAH! YEAH!" "Why, thanks. So, I wrote the song when I was thinking of leaving Fleetwood Mac...." "YEAH, YOU ARE TOTALLY BETTER WITHOUT THEM! YOU ROCK! YEAH! WOO-HOO!" "Thanks. It was a survival move. Anyway, when I wrote it, I thought I was looking out for love, but now I realize I was looking out for love..." "BIG LOVE! LOVE THIS SONG! BIG LOVE IS AWESOME! WOO-HOO!"

I just think, Oh my gosh, let the man speak. No one came here to hear you "talk" to Lindsey Buckingham.

it can start interesting interactions and exchanges. just watch vids from U2 shows this year! very interesting exchanges, as you can imagine with different views of audiences on Bono's activism. :thumbsup: I see what you mean, and I do have to make an exception for the recent "exchange" with Lindsey at the political fundraiser as it led to some interesting responses! But it is the exception that proves the rule. I've been to almost 50 shows (counting Fleetwood Mac, Stevie, and Lindsey combined) and I've never had another instance where I've felt such an "exchange" garnered anything of interest. Quite the opposite. Your Bono example about political exchanges during concerts between him and fans? I would hate to go to a concert and sit through that when I just want to hear some music!

Sorry for the rant - it's a pet peeve of mine.

Heckling is another animal altogether though - that's when you are deliberately trying to be disruptive and insulting towards the person onstage.

[elle]

^^ haha i do all those types of shouting you listed, and no worries!

i uploaded a video from Sugarland BuckVie show where you hear bunch of us constantly yelling stuff at him. it's hilarious (to us! lol). and i had bunch of comments on that video when people were like - "oh shut up you a**holes! he must hate it!" i don't know whether he hates it or loves it or a bit of both, but frankly, i don't really care that much. it takes his speeches in unexpected directions and off the cuff remarks instead of the ones we've all heard and hated for their predictability so many times. i go there to be entertained, and that entertains me :). and yes, i'm one of those people who always - always - have requests for songs for him. once he gave us back the whole speech about how he'll do requests on his next solo tour. i'm still waiting for that.

[elle]

.....................but we turned this thread into shouting TO Lindsey instead of what OP meant - shouting FOR / in support of Lindsey.

so i guess we should go back to the original intent - sorry y'all! :wavey:

[Street_Dreamer]

The only sort of protest that truly matters is not paying to see them live. That's all Money Man Mick cares about. There's no reason to possibly ruin the show for the people that do want to see them. Bring a sign or wear a LB shirt. I just don't see the logic in paying tickets, parking fees, etc. to see a band you hate and vocalizing your disdain for them during a show you wouldn't be at in the first place if it weren't for your anger toward them.

[elle]

i agree with that. hit them where it hurts.

however i've seen a number of people who bought FM tix and are now feeling like they are betraying Lindsey as more and more stuff is coming out about what's been going on. for those people, this can be a way to make some lemonade out of lemons.

[sodascouts]

Yep. You have to speak to them in THEIR language, not yours.

When you yell disparaging things, they just shake it off as some "loons" in the audience tonight. They see it as random, not as part of a larger message supported by plenty of other people.

You can yell at them all you want at a show, but if you've paid, and they've gotten your money, they're LAUGHING all the way to the bank.

[StevieandChris]

If any heckler sits next to me I will do my best to have them removed. Don’t ruin my time with your tantrum. Just don’t go.

[rhiannondontgo]

Lol go for it, guys. Buy tickets, give Stevie even more money, and then whine & b*tch until we get you removed from the venue. Sounds like a win/win.
Or maybe you could just stop being tantrumming toddlers and get a life instead??

[elle]

but you have no right to tell people who want to see the show not to go.

and somehow i suspect nobody should be worried that people highly critical of the band and their recent behavior will even dream of throwing their hard-earned money away on overpriced tix for this tour thus giving the band and promoters the exact thing they seem to care about the most. :rolleyes:

like i already said above (not that anyone reads anyone's else's messages around here except for quick snarks apparently) -

however i've seen a number of people who bought FM tix and are now feeling like they are betraying Lindsey as more and more stuff is coming out about what's been going on. for those people, this can be a way to make some lemonade out of lemons.

[StevieandChris]

-

I have the right to say whatever I want, just like everyone else here. This is a message board. I am not heckling or yelling at anyone at a public venue like a concert auditorium.

[secondhandchain]

I hope that they are truly embarrassed

[secondhandchain]

Many people that are going to this concert do not have any idea that Lindsey Buckingham was fired. My niece who is 20 years old is a big fan and she said she was excited to go buy tickets. When I told her that it’s not going to be good without Lindsey Buckingham she said she had no idea he was fired and then said she was no way going to buy tickets after that.

[elle]

yes. majority of the general public. and many probably have no idea there is a Lindsey Buckingham or who is or was in the band in the first place.

so why not do a PSA and let people know. #education #themoreyouknow

:cool::angel:

[AncientQueen]

What about holding up signs saying "Where is Lindsey?" or "We want Lindsey!". That way you can get your message through without disturbing anyone if you just hold it up now and then. in 2015, we made a sign saying "Welcome back Christine. We missed you. We love you!" and she came over, gave us a thump up and a beautiful smile.

[BombaySapphire3]

I hope that they are truly embarrassed

at least 2 of them have no sense of shame whatsoever

[HomerMcvie]

NONE.

They are complete egomaniacs.

Haha! I would pay a ticket to these ****ty shows just to see all of you trying to get ME removed! :blob2::blob1:

But my money is well invested in Lindsey, you know, the guy SN can’t pathetically stop naming.... :D:wavey:

[ryan4136]

If you want to get under Mick and Stevie’s skin, you are gonna have to do something different than shout for LB, they are anticipating it, and will just shake it off.

You’ll need to get way more creative signs like

“I’m only here because my ticket was from a free giveaway”

“I’m here because I couldn’t give this ticket away.”

“I love the leg room on this tour”

“Nickelback sold this place out”

“I went to the Ellen Show and all I got was this lousy ticket”

“We want Steve Ferrone”

“24k Gold got to 144 in Belgium”

“Stevie: Taylor Swift wasn’t born the last time you had a solo Top 5 song”

“Bob Dylan wouldn’t have fired Lindsey”

“Lindsey has a beautiful close family”

There were people who were so impressed with Rick and Billy during the Tango tour, they held up signs that said "LINDSEY WHO?".

But that was a different time, and of course he chose to leave the band.

[StevieandChris]

at least 2 of them have no sense of shame whatsoever

In this instance I don’t think Stevie and Mick have anything to be ashamed of. It was a decision they made. Done. They may not like the consequences of their decision in the long run, but they made they decision they thought was right for the band at the time.

this always kills me when people say something ridiculous like this.

people take ten or fifteen minutes out of their day to pop in here. they let off some steam/distract themselves from their daily grind/kill some time or whatever making whatever comments they might make in here, and other people who, I guess have no ability to distinguish between the real life they bang on about and virtual space i.e. a fan board, take everything everyone says as totally literal. :shrug:

It just highlights their own need to be smug and superior and judgmental.

You wish......

90% of Americans know zero to nothing about him, with the remaining 10% knowing DDIO only at best....

You will not be finding people in this FM tour going to see Neil Finn as he's their new favourite FM band member, Mike yes but not Neil......perhaps with exception of you.

[SteveMacD]

Sure, spend $450 to get within earshot to let them know what you think about what they did to Lindsey. That’ll show ‘em. Total egg on THEIR face.

I’m sure that they’ll be all sad and crying about people saying mean things about them while they’re counting bags of money worth more than many/most make in a lifetime.

[SortaSavageLike]

Don't forget to pour wine on your burning Nikes while shouting for Lindsey.

[paleshadow]

The people at theses shows paid good money to see this incarnation of the band to perform and they should enjoy the experience. I guess because the MAC does have some younger fans this will probably happen.


I guess my feeling is that if you feel so strongly about what happened, perhaps show your support by not attending? It's not Neil or Mikes fault what happened and imagine how you would feel in that situation. Just stay home and watch the dance on DVD.

[Machu]

It might make more sense to go to one of Lindsey's concerts and yell support for Lindsey? I'd rather have Lindsey back than the current line-up but I'm not sure yelling Lindsey's name at the band would yield a positive response. I guess it's up to everyone to decide for themselves but I can't imagine the band or people that are there to watch a show would appreciate it. :) Maybe don't go and the ticket sales will reflect people's opinions?

[Buster]

Best form of protest is to not give any $ to the farce. And spend on Lindsey album, show, etc.

[AncientQueen]

It's not Neil or Mikes fault what happened and imagine how you would feel in that situation.They were informed and they are adults. Everyone in this band deserves whatever reaction their audiences will have.

[Storms123]

They were informed and they are adults. Everyone in this band deserves whatever reaction their audiences will have.

I am sure they are anticipating it all. The PR they’ve done (or not done around this tour is telling). Curious is see what the reception is like in Vegas later this week. Honestly, as a collective unit, I am not sure FM cares. I do tend to think given how Christine, Stevie and even Mick always speak retrospectively, or years later will reflect on situations they’ve endured together, in the quiet of their minds the reputational damage could be weighing on them. Hope time is on their side, and at least they can mend fences down the road. It’s actually a sad state of affairs and will be the footnote On the legacy of this group. None of them should be extraordinarily proud of themselves

[button-lip]

If anyone here really think we're gonna spend money on Fakewood Mac instead of Lindsey.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Pure wishful thinking, that's all.

They clearly don't care what fans think, so of course they're not gonna do anything if some fans start screaming for Lindsey.

[Storms123]

Perhaps folks at the upcoming Lindsey concerts will yell for Neil Finn ... :)

Maybe if Lindsey replaces Neil Finn on an upcoming “Crowded House” tour....oh wait :]

[AncientQueen]

Mh, one thing I know for sure, I will not see FM if they come to Germany. This bandruin will not get my money, my time or my enthusiasm. Nope.

Absolutely this. Hit em where it hurts, people. Also, ignoring is a powerful weapon, few things hurt limelight prima donnas as much as having become insignificant. It makes them question their raison d'etre to the core. I almost wish, instead of bad reviews, they'd get hardly any, or none. :]

You must know that I'm kidding right? You got to admit it would be hilarious to hear someone scream "Don't Dream It's Over" between songs at a Lindsey show.

[lovethemac1]

You are the only person who would find this funny, and the only who would probably do it.

But seeing as Neil Flynn won't be at Lindsey's concert, you won't either is my guess.

[cactusjack]

anyone pulling this sort of **** at a concert I'm at will be getting a sticky drink poured over them.

[JohnL]

If I hear someone screaming and yelling bull**** when I paid for my ticket I will be asking security to remove them.

y'all are cute with your back and forth banter. :nod:

and it all reminded me how lucky i am that i will never again have to hear that stupid yelling steeeevieeee steevieeeeeeeee like somebody's drowning cats, at the most inopportune times during FM shows. :thumbsup:

unless there are people who decide to go to LB shows and do that, as some used to in the past (there's even a video, not remember which tour, maybe Seeds) and LB would comment on the mic and make jokes out of it.

[jbrownsjr]

Even if I planned on screaming for Lindsey, I wouldn't be able to do it.

I would be too interested in watching Fakewood. It would be really disrespectful to the artists up there and the paying fans. Just because they are ridiculously ignorant of the circumstances, doesn't mean they don't get to enjoy their fake bliss.

[paleshadow]

They were informed and they are adults. Everyone in this band deserves whatever reaction their audiences will have.

Who care's about them, they can dry their tears with the hundred dollar bills they don't use to wipe their butts. It's rude for the people who want to enjoy the show and aren't millionaires.

Exactly, no matter if you're on board or not; I just can't see screaming at performing artists. It's disrespectful. In the old days, it was tomatoes. But, never pre-planned.

[sodascouts]

Perhaps simply wearing a Lindsey T-shirt is the way to go for any Lindsey supporter who finds him/herself at a concert with a non-refundable ticket.

I remember, back during the SYW tour, some fans who were (rightfully) angry at the man who ran the fan club, Jonathan Todd, wore T-shirts denigrating him as well as the fan club. "FIRE JONATHAN TODD" was the theme, but there were several variations. They were noticed... albeit there was no indication that the BAND actually saw them.

I am probably wearing a Buckingham Nicks '73 T-shirt to the front row Lindsey concert. I have thought about putting a piece of tape over Nicks but don't know how that would go over with Lindsey. So I probably wont do it. Even though he may laugh at it and be a great photo op at meet and greet, I am 50/50 about doing it.

[StevieandChris]

Don't forget to pour wine on your burning Nikes while shouting for Lindsey.

Or burning tambourines or shawls! :laugh: :laugh::wavey:

[StevieandChris]

The way they did it, and the way they have conducted themselves since has been very shameful. Its not the way you behave with a co-worker/friend (or not) after 45 years.

LOL.

Okay.

[StevieandChris]

Ok Sugar Mouse Jr.

LOL :wavey::laugh:

He would laugh. He's got a great sense of humor.

I think so too but if there is only 5% of him that would think its disrespectful or not want to get photographed with me then I would have to remove the tape :eek:

I think someone mentioned in Billy's book some of the early rough crowds being disrespectful to him in only a few places yelling for Lindsey. It is wrong to be disrespectful to any performer on stage.

I've considered the same. Wearing a FM T-shirt with tape over $tevie and Dick's faces. Or a$$e$. Oops, $ame thing in this ca$e.

i agree with whoever said LB would most probably laugh. doesn't hurt to try!

just mho, but i probably wouldn't wear BN shirt without a tape to LB show this time around. he does seem like a very understanding and forgiving type, but the wounds might be too raw.

[elle]

I know what’s going on and believe me it won’t be fake for me. And Elle I feel the same way about the constant screaming but it is actually Lindsey screaming and not the fans at Lindsey. :-)
sounds like a win-win then! :thumbsup:

i don't have to struggle through Stevie's nasality or her fans screeching for her hurting my ears, and you don't have to listen to Lindsey screaming. and hey, maybe i'll even get Lindsey barking again this time around!

I vote yes, I bet he would get a laugh out of that.

Wow though, is that an original shirt from 1973??

[button-lip]

I'm gonna do that with my "Fleetwood/McVie/McVie/Buckingham/Nicks" t-shirt. Tape over those names, you know..... :nod::nod:

[button-lip]

anyone pulling this sort of **** at a concert I'm at will be getting a sticky drink poured over them.

That's the best you can come up with? Gimme a break! :laugh::laugh:

If I hear someone screaming and yelling bull**** when I paid for my ticket I will be asking security to remove them.

Awwww, now I'm almost sad I spent all my money on Lindsey!

Soft people indeed. :lol::lol:

Such a blessing for me. I'm so tempted to go to Canton as well as DC. I have to check funds. I could meet Steve, bw boy and you.

I'll take a bark vs listening to her ruin Sisters of the Moon with a 2 note nasal range.

[DownOnRodeo]

If they had pulled this stunt after tickets had gone on sale, I would thoroughly endorse the waving of placards, the hurling of tomatoes, and the occasional perfectly-timed shout-out.

As it stands though--those who bought a ticket to see this incarnation of Fleetwood Mac are going to see this incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, and should just live with that terrible, terrible decision. :thumbsup:

Unless they decide after the first concert to replace Christine, Neil, and Mike with animatronic penguins.

[secondhandchain]

one thing we def. can do is DISLIKES on the youtube videos. Currently the I heart Don't Stop has negative likes. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[silversprings99]

so... tonight... after the opening song, which probably will be "the chain", all of you who are in front let's shout for lindsey!!!

[aleuzzi]

I'm not going but I might shout for Lindsey out front of a performance hall.

Or while I'm elsewhere enjoying a beer.

Or at home. Or at the LB show in Buffalo.

The only YouTube video I see for any of the I Heart 2018 Mac songs with more dislikes than likes is the one purporting to be the full set that turns out to be old footage not even from this years I Heart (Lindsey is still in it). I would imagine that is the reasoning for the dislikes. People don't like not getting the video they thought they were being given.

Don't encourage this thread. It's just downright stupid to scream for LB. When you A. bought a ticket.. and B. Knew he wasn't going to be there. :lol:

[gldstwmn]

Don't encourage this thread.

This thread is 7 pages long. Had it not been allowed occurred there would be nothing to encourage. :shrug: :sorry:

Tongue in cheek... I knew that we both knew it was 7 pages long. lol

The negativity of this thread pales in comparison to the joy generated from last night's great performance by the new lineup. Stevie and Christine sounded great. Neil and Mike fit in very well. And Mick and John were rock solid.

How did Christine sound? Was she having intonation problems? Did she hit "believe" in You Make Lovin Fun? All Over Again, was it beautiful?

Sorry. Tired. Think I need a nap. :o

There are videos on Facebook but if Sugar was there they may be able to better answer that question. It sounded gorgeous and was a true Stevie/Christine moment.
