Or basically the same... :sorry:

[David]

I would love that, no matter what unbridged feels there are that aren't healed for all their own personal reasons.

Do you think he means Stevie specifically? I do. Why the turnabout in Mick and why so soon and suddenly?

[bombaysaffires]

I think he means between him and Lindsey.

Mick Fleetwood wants Lindsey Buckingham reunion

Mick Fleetwood wants to get back on stage with Lindsey Buckingham before they "knock it all on the head".

The 73-year-old music icon - who co-founded ‘Chain’ hitmakers Fleetwood Mac - has admitted despite firing Lindsey three years ago, he hopes they can "make music" again after reconciling earlier this year.

Speaking to Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt on the 'Rockonteurs' podcast, he said: "The thought of walking on stage and Lindsey being part of that would be very healing.

"That's not saying goodbye to Mike or Neil, we don't behave like that, but something connective.

"I believe that me and Lindsey will make some music together like he did with Christine, and I would love that, no matter what unbridged feels there are that aren't healed for all their own personal reasons.

"I would hope to be the instigator of making all that happen before we knock it all on the head."

Mick’s comments come after he revealed earlier this year he has reconciled with his former bandmate, who was fired by the band in 2018 when Mick insisted the guitarist would never be allowed to rejoin the band.

Admitting the pair had put the past behind them, Mick said: “I’ve really enjoyed being re-connected with Lindsey, which has been gracious and open. And both of us have been beautifully honest about who we are and how we got to where we were.”

Meanwhile, now Mick has also paid tribute to co-founder Peter Green as he opened up on the origins of the band's name.

He said: "It was Peter's band, he could have called the band whatever he liked, the Gunslingers or whatever, he was such a presence it didn't matter what it was called."

He added: "We played together in a studio Decca had given us, it was just me, John (McVie) and Peter.

"We played three tracks, one was an instrumental and they said what are you going to call it, and Peter said '... we'll call it Fleetwood Mac because John and Mick are in her'.

"It was just a rough thing to put on the tape box and that's how the name came about."

.

Like he did with Christine? That's the most absurd thing I've read recently. How many songs would Mick write? :laugh: He is a drummer, so making music together would be Mick playing drums for a new Lindsey solo album. And according to the time frequency that Lindsey has to release albums, those tracks could be in the vault for a long period, or finally used for a new FM adventure (what lineup? I don't wanna imagine).

I thought lies like that were heard just in political campaigns :laugh:

[Macfan4life]

Come on now. Everyone is smarter than this. Mick does or says NOTHING without the boss's approval. Last year when Mick was asked if Lindsey would ever play with the Mac again, it was a firm NO. Now he is pretty much inviting Lindsey back. It's clear the boss has regrets of some sort and feels Lindsey has suffered enough. They will be smiling and holding hands soon. Just watch. Now that Lindsey may be single, wouldn't be great if they actually were a couple again :lol: How many tickets would it sell?

[David]

Sad to say, would probably sell a lot of tickets.

But I think that he and Christine ought to hook up. They would make a far more interesting couple because they click in conversation, enjoy recording and writing, and have a little sexual sizzle between them. Even their (admittedly rare) disagreements are more interesting than all the repetitive and infantile crap that flies back and forth between Buckingham and Nicks the past forty years. Buckingham McVie could be the new 70-something power couple in pop, the new sophisticated comedy gem in the pages of Rolling Stone, the new Lunt and Fontanne of Beverly Hills.

"And both of us have been beautifully honest about who we are and how we got to where we were.”

now THIS is totally saying, "Stevie"

One admitting he can't piss her off, and the other saying no matter what he does he can't NOT end up pissing her off.

That's exactly right. Subtext: We got here because of that narcissistic person in our band that throws her weight around like a pimp.

Mick on call with LB: "Lindsey, why didn't you just eat s*** and just kiss her a** to keep your job?"

[HomerMcvie]

"That's not saying goodbye to Mike or Neil, we don't behave like that,

Yeah Mick, tell that to Billy, Rick, Bekka, Dave Mason, Dave Walker, and Bob Weston.

What a douche canoe!

[Storms123]

AND Lindsey!! Remember, "Firing is such an ugly word" Stevie is either getting ready to castrate Mick right now, or he really is her mouthpiece.

A bunch of LIARS, spewing their putrid sh*t.

you know, reading that line about unbridged feels now again, I dunno.... he could have been referencing the personal sh&t between Stevie and LB, and saying regardless of her/their unresolved issues, he's reconciled with LB....
but this is FM and who the feck knows.

[BombaySapphire3]

Maybe he is on a drug binge again ..stupid old f#*k. Again there will not be a Rumours five reunion/ farewell tour etc. ad nauseam.

He really is dumber than a bag of hammers. And he probably believes that we're dumb enough to believe the white washed turd he's serving up.

This is just a press rehashing of the Rockonteurs podcast from a couple of weeks ago:

https://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=59270

It looks like Mick's stopped promoting his Peter Green concert now, and so I imagine the 'reunion' rumours will stop for a while - until Lindsey starts promoting his album, and then it will be all they ask him...

[Nicks Fan]

I can see it now.

Interviewer- So Mick are you bankrupt again?

Mick- Bankrupt is too ugly a word to use. It was a parting of the ways with respect to money and my bank account. It was something that had to happen as it were. We came to the realization that it was a necessary thing for all involved. I dare say it’s certainly a good move and a necessary one in order to ensure the right steps are taken.

I wonder who "all involved" are. At first I see that the Hawaii restaurant was closed a year ago, so their staff must be part of that "all". Don't know who else.

But after all those tours, and deluxe o or extended releases, I can't imagine how he becomes bankrupt again. It can't be just because of a closed restaurant.

Awesome!

though he did just sell off all his rights to FM music so he's got a nice wad o' cash (til he blows through it all).

I was making a joke out of the way Mick talks in interviews where he doesn’t really make much sense or tends to avoid answering questions in a straightforward way. Plus I was making fun of his seemingly endless money troubles.

[Macfan4life]

****sigh****

Now we know why he needs Lindsey and cheering on a reunion tour. When he needed Stevie to make tons of money, he threw Lindsey overboard. Now that he needs more money he is trying to lure Lindsey back.
This guy has no shame and deserves to live under a bridge in a cardboard box. Just imagine the tens of millions this guy constantly blows through.

He really is a true scumbag.

[sue]

Nowhere in the interview did it say he was broke, bankrupt or without cash....at the moment.
It was Nicks Fan making a very funny joke ..not a real scenario.

Yes of course he wants to get back with Lindsey for greedy, monetary reasons.
But I also think they get on, these two.. I think Lindsey and Mick like each other...

[Straightback]

As the old saying goes: "With friends like that....."

[Macfan4life]

I think the price of his meet and greet just went up to cover restaurant closure stuff :lol:

Fans will now have the option of buying spoons that were actually used in his restaurant.......for $50.00 extra :eek:

Posing photo with Mick during "pull my finger trick" $75.00 extra

[bombaysaffires]

per their website his restaurant is re opened for both indoor and outdoor dining 3-9pm. So just happy hour and dinner; still not back open for lunch yet which makes sense given there are not so many tourists flocking the shops looking for lunch.:eek:

Yes I found that, but when I click on the "Book an event" (private dining), or "Find a table", nothing happens. Seems the links are disabled. Just curious, I'm not in Hawaii nor planning to go there.

[vivfox]

Just imagine the tens of millions this guy constantly blows through.

Every once in a while when I'm driving, I'll see a man I don't know in a car waiting to take a turn or exit a parking lot and he'll look like Mick Fleetwood and I'll think to myself, "this could have been Mick if he wasn't in a band making money." And then I always wonder to myself, "how could he possibly spend all that money, and on whattttt???" One would hope on that last FM tour he would have been smart enough to save his money. But you know, you just gotta know, he's probably desperate as hell to make a dime again.

[michelej1]

The whole Britney Spears thing made me think of Mick. You know, as adults, we have a right to waste our money even if it means financial ruin. We also have the right to make bad romantic choices. You shouldn’t get to “protect” people from things like that. If she’s not suicidal or homicidal, she has the right to make awful personal decisions.

[Villavic]

"how could he possibly spend all that money, and on whattttt???"

That's exactly what I always ask, too. I compare him with John Deacon, who is completely retired, I think since 1997 (last appearance with his Queen fellows), and he is wealthy and lives peacefully away from the media, or so I read. I can't understand why Mick is always needing money again. However I admit that at the time I was happy with those deluxe editions, I enjoyed those alternative versions and I think that was thanks to Mick.

I agree to an extent, although Deacon gets writing royalties which Mick doesn’t. They don’t make as much of a difference in the age of streaming, but they used to. Also Queen is way more of a slick commercial enterprise like FM so suspect it’s more lucrative. I get the impression that in recent decades Mick “only” has touring income and then yes he fritters it away on divorces and bad business decisions.

I thought they all benefited from the fact that Rumours keeps selling every decade.

That was my point too. Yes, Deacon wrote few Queen hits, so he sure earns more money, but all those FM album/songs sales that still are, including the re-editions, sure Mick is still receiving good money... I could live comfortably with that money :laugh:

aren't those the rights he sold recently? So he got a lump sum rather than a steady stream of checks....?
