Fleetwood Mac News // FB, Instagram // change in admin, ownership?

[dontlookdown]

Curious if anyone knows if Fleetwood Mac News on FB and Instagram (and their own site) has changed ownership recently?

It seems to have taken a very divisive tone lately, posting a lot of ticket sales and numbers memes showing a very pro-new band/anti-Lindsey Buckingham sentiment.

And if any honest comments come in simply stating how Lindsey's energy and guitar playing is missed, there are quick defensive replys in the comment section.

If your reaction to a recent show is critical, then your opinion isn't valid.
Just seems very different to how the site/and social media accounts were run prior to this current tour.
It used to be in celebration of the entire band's history, but now seems very anti-Buckingham and very pro Stevie. I'm wondering if possibly the band's PR company is running it now.

Obviously some $tevie drone.

The Ledge will always be the best option for open opinion about them.

[button-lip]

I noticed the same a couple of months ago. At first, when Lindsey was fired they used to celebrate and promote his solo tour. Now they seem to have forgotten what this bunch of .... people did to Lindsey and they’re promoting their tour with great enthusiasm and with their eyes folded :mad:

I blocked them on Twitter a long time ago.

Long live The Ledge! :woohoo:

[Nicks Fan]

They deleted a ton of posts and people got blocked. Shame that they have to be all 1 sided now but then the Stevie cult members are pretty weird.

[Villavic]

What I have noticed is the lack of activity in Christine's facebook. She used to post with some frequency since the On with the show tour. But since 2018 there are just some few posts and look more posted by a community manager.

Christine has been replaced by the woman who was on the cover of The Dance.

Saying that Christine airbrushed or even altered any (AND I MEAN ANY) of her photos in any way shape or form is against board rules. This is your last warning.

HAHAH. I know this is a joke. Because, well, if it isn't then this is redonkulous. Because, she IS airbrushed! And so is Stevie. Hell, they are ALL airbrushed! LOL

What about $tevie's own "close up director", for Tango? $he was worried about that sh*t 32 years ago!

$he was young, but $he was also a bloated drug addict...

As RIDICULOUS at that Christine one is, I've never seen that $tevie one before. "yeah kids, I'm 70, going on 15!"

[jbrownsjr]

I love love love the Christine cover. From all her albums. (Don't like BuckVie cover) ewwwww

$tevie w/ horses... zzzzz boring... ground breaking!!!!


Now, the Wild Heart Cover... wow!!!!!!

[Villavic]

She´s not Stevie! She's Stevie's evil twin!

Well, should be a fake twin, anyway.

No. The Ledge is a place for people like you to bleat about how Lindsey Buckingham is so hard done by and how his multi million dollar settlement given to him out of court would have been billions if he'd had his day in court.

Have a good day. Kissing $tevie's.....boots.:angel::p

Funny how I got banned for calling a fellow member a hypocrite, but you are free to insult Stevie's appearance, and Homer is free to imply that I kiss Stevie's arse. The moderators who banned me are clearly also hypocrites. Or biased, at least.

I had nothing to do with your banning. Further, I don't even know why you were banned.

I do know that not liking Stevie's outfits is ok here. She wears the same damn ridiculous looking outfit and stumbles around on stage in those ugly boots. If you disagree with me, you're allowed to disagree with me.

If you want to know the details of what you did to get banned, ask Michele.

I hope not liking $tevie herself is acceptable here. Because I don't. I don't pay attention to her outfit that $he wears show after show. :lol:

As far as her boots, I'd only like to see them in one other location. Okay, two locations...:p

[BombaySapphire3]

In this case the "evil twin" is probably nicer than the original.:nod:

You are perfectly free to criticize Lindsey’s appearance. I actually saw Lindsey tape up his boot because the zipper broke on it. I CONDEMN him for that.

I am on the Fleetwood Mac News distribution list (email) I was cleaning out my email junk folder and noticed all of the emails regarding the Australian leg are sitting in my junk folder....rather appropriate :]

Very appropriate. This is the only time I've ever completely sworn off them.

They're the band of my life, but currently? F*ck them! Stupid old goat!!!

I might start a separate thread on this. But do you think if BuckVie had been shelved in favour of solo albums, Lindsey would still be in this band? :distress:

Michele or whoever it was that banned me wrote a comment quoting my post "****ing hypocrite" and said "name calling of members not allowed here, especially profane ones".
Edit: Love the boots, but at her age and with her obvious arthritis in her hands, she should be wearing flats so as not to get arthritic feet.

Well, I'm glad you're back. I don't mind disagreement.

To answer your question. I don't think Christine has the guts to do solo album and tour anymore. I could be wrong. But, I do think BuckVie did ruffle feathers of another member. It might have been one of the final straws of getting FM together without her.

But, I think what finally drove $tevie to oust LB was their backstage behavior. i.e. Their personal interactions backstage and in meetings.

No. Stevie long wanted Lindsey out, but once Christine left in 1998 couldn't pull that trigger – until Christine returned and the band completed a full-lineup reunion tour to re-establish her membership in the group.

If anything, Buckingham McVie–and the scheduled-long-in-advance MusiCares ceremony–only prolonged Lindsey's tenure.

She was ready to kick him out the moment Christine re-joined the band. It was very well orchestrated by that evil little witch.

At the end, she got what she wanted, right? Right? Maybe not. Maybe all she wanted was Lindsey’s undivided attention and now she got nothing.

I take issue with this. Stevie is not physically little, for a start. In fact she is a teeny bit fat.

On your other points, she was incredibly happy at the 02 Arena in 2013 with Lindsey AND Christine, I highly doubt in 2013 she was thinking about kicking Lindsey out.

She didn't want Lindsey's undivided attention. She wants him to go away, isn't it obvious. I think all the thigh touching and shoulder tapping in interviews as recently at 2015 just goes to show she was trying to make him feel uncomfortable.

$he's only 5'1", for starters. THAT can constitute "little". But, you're right, and wrong. $he's more than a little bit fat. There's a reason Mama only wears black. $he got big belly and massive ego to hide under that black circus tent!:wavey:

$he USED to put on the fake romance show with Lindsey. For whatever reason, $he decided that $he didn't want to do that any longer. Instead, $he'd rather DIVA out, and get the F*CKING CREATIVE force of FM fired.

Old goat RUINED their legacy.

Wow, the hypocrisy, are you body-shaming the self-anointed queen? I thought it was in poor taste to discuss the physical appearance of the band members?

:rolleyes: When will this ****ing tour be over. I've had enough.

Who says she was "incredible happy" at the 02 Arena in 2013? No matter what she says all the time: she's a very good actress.

Yes, she has always craved for Lindsey's attention. All the time. While Lindsey and Christine where doing their Buckingham McVie routine during GYOW at Musicares, that thing with the bat, Stevie was waving at Lindsey like crazy, trying to get his attention. She was jealous of his newfound relationship with Christine. And she got tired and fired him.

I don't know. Stevie craving Lindsey? Surely you jest.

Newfound relationship? With someone he has known for 45 years? Right.

Fired him? So we're insisting on the narrative that the Welsh witch has mystic hiring and firing powers as well as her Rhiannon exorcisms? Right. Mick fired Lindsey and brought John along with him basically by telling him to shut up. No wonder John always looks grumpy at photo shoots with Mike and Neil.

I don't know who said it was in poor taste but I really don't care.

Stevie - a bit fat
Lindsey - jeans are too tight
Christine - too much fake tan
Mick - can't stop getting his balls out at 72
John - never smiles or talks, never shaves
Sharon - looking very old these days
Lori - can the red hair already
Mimi - looking even older than Sharon
Brett - is he even there anymore?

Hell, that Japanese drummer is the only good sort they've had over the past fifteen years. Oh and Harry Styles - who as I said elsewhere, can have a head job anytime.

Thank you for posting this awesome video. This is one performance I'll never get tired of seeing. Remember how excited we were? The roar of the crowd says it all.:blob1:

[michelej1]

One of my most beautiful memories.

Of course, when we got here we all had a big argument, didn’t we? We were fighting about the rumor that they all wanted Christine to play more, but Lindsey would not let her.

I screamed my head off for Christine’s appearance that night. I still smile at their mock bemusement seeing the piano on the stage and wondering why it was there.

I laughed out loud when I read that. Also in thinking of you I had searched another couple of times in the past few years thinking I must have passed over it the first time. But I still remember the amount being 150 million and even then thinking it was a big mistake to sell her publishing.
