She's such a true artist!

[jbrownsjr]

That was actually pretty good. I liked it! :blob2:

[ricohv]

This is such a random, weird thing for Stevie to be doing. Surely they don't pay enough for her to be doing it for financial reasons. So...why?!?!?!

[tothegypsy]

Not really fan of promoting casinos, but she sounds great, and could have a whole other career voicing audiobooks.

These casinos aren't top ones like Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, or Resorts World. Stevie's never performed at one of them either.

[bombaysaffires]

I was born in the desert.... so I know how it feels there....

[Macfan4life]

She really needs this money?
Cutting commercials now?

Poor Mick, he's the one that needs these gigs.

Is there any way her catalogue deal is connected with these commercials?

I never would've thought Stevie would've done commercials for casinos she never did a performance in or lower tier casinos. It's not like she has a rich history with Vegas where she did 2 consecutive weeks of shows.

It be expected if Gaga, Cher, Celine, Elton, Rod, or Brandon Flowers did the voiceover; they have rich performance histories with Vegas.

Yes I agree with your suspicions and logic

If it were a Vegas tourism commercial for Visit Las Vegas , I'd say that's cute...Aerosmith did one last year. But it's only for these off-Strip properties. Maybe a duet with Wayne Newton's coming soon!

they must've offered her hella money

[paleshadow]

She certainly doesn't need the money. My guess is the casino's are owned by someone she has a personal connection to and they called in a favor.

AKA - The Commercial Gods. $he's about being successful, not artistic.

[SteveMacD]

I’m not surprised she did the ad. It’s easy money and an easy way to indirectly get publicity. The weird thing is that she’s doing a voiceover with someone else’s song playing in the background.

Maybe the mob forced her to do it. Bugsy Siegel’s minions own Sin City.

[BigAl84]

Wow...she's certainly "kissing the ring"

I bet she's eyeing a long-term vegas residency.

So things will come full circle. She will become the lounge act that Lindsey long ago accused her of resembling..

Exactly like the band that chose the seat filler over the artistic genius?

He's the only one that accepts "challenging your audience" over "numbers".

Bombay- I remember that article well, it stung:o

24 Karat Gold: The Las Vegas Residency

But why not do a commercial for Caesars, MGM, or Cosmopolitan.

I don't think these properties she's advertising are near the Strip!

[michelej1]

Does she have the energy for a Vegas residency? About 10 years ago, I could have seen that for her, but right now I just can't see it happening.

KISS just canceled theirs.

[DownOnRodeo]

Does she have the energy for a Vegas residency? About 10 years ago, I could have seen that for her, but right now I just can't see it happening.

I can.
All she needs on stage is a comfy armchair/wheelchair, a microphone, and a song to talk ratio of 1:15.
If Mick's lucky, she might give him a part gig doing a drum-vest solo at the 2 hour mark to wake up the audience while she changes shawls.

[michelej1]

It would depend on how many nights per week they make you do them. I don't think she would do more than 2 consecutive nights in a row.

[FM77]

Maybe it’s part of a contractual deal tied to a future gig/residency.

[UnwindedDreams]

Maybe it’s part of a contractual deal tied to a future gig/residency. Take a look at these properties. These are venues that Lindsey, Chris Isaak, or Engelbert Humperdinck would play.

This is so true.
Lindsey calls himself a "painter", lots of different colors, textures, and canvases, etc. Your statements are 100% true and correct.
Lindsey challenged everyone with Tusk. Yet when he challenged you with Say You Will and Come, you turned your back :(
Watching the documentary of Say You Will reminded me so much of a Tusk project it was.
Moral of the story: Open your ears. COME around OH DADDY

ARE YOU REALLY TELLING US THAT SYW IS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS TUSK?

Because if you are, you might want to check your meds.

Half of SYW is GARBAGE FILLER.

Come is a horrible song, at least to be on a FM record.

Oh Daddy, you're really beating a dead horse here. Come on.

You are the one who stated he was "challenging the audience"

SYW while more commercial than Tusk used many of the same textures and brushes as Tusk. People call both albums "cold" for a reason. People hate songs like Immune and Come because they are outside the common norms of what Fleetwood Mac is expected to be. Sound familiar? Sorry Charlie, not every song can be Seven Wonders or When I see you again ;)
Clearly you failed the challenge and fail to recognize the brilliance of SYW ;)

My meds are fine but I do roll better on 2 instead of all 3 pills a day

When you have SYW 25 times in it’s entirety, David, come back to us. It is at that point that we will respect your opinion of it.

[HomerMcvie]

Hell yes I would. Blob Dylan is overrated.

Have SYW? Do you mean listened to? I've heard it IN ITS ENTIRETY at least 100 times.

So you have to agree with my opinion for you to respect it?

Check. Got it. :cool:

I thought you listened to it about 5 times. I just remember you saying you couldn’t get into it. No, I don’t have to agree with your opinion. I don’t think that Say You Will is a great album myself. I do not think it’s awful and I am glad to have it, but that’s all I can say.

It was given to me, by my cousin's roommate, ALL BECAUSE OF THE SONG- COME(that's for Macfan4life). She hated that song so much, she regretted buying it, and I hadn't bought it yet, so she gave it to me.

A FM album without Christine McVie SUCKS. That is all. :thumbsup:

Christine's pop balance made them what they are.

Edit- I apologize for being snippy.

Say you will, say you will give it one more chance
At least give me time to change your mind
That always seems to heal the wounds
If I can get you around to "Come"

[BigAl84]

Artistically speaking, with the exception of Lindsey, they're all freakin doormats. The only thing the 4 of them are good at doing is coming to a consensus on how to screw one another over....screw bob welch out of the RRHOF, replace Christine with Sheryl Crow, replace cancer-stricken john mid-tour, treat Richard Dashut just one step above a radio DJ with a guest pass in 2015. They give Lindsey the boot, do a tour, then Christine runs back to England to never be heard from again...again. The checks have been cashed I suppose.

They all suck. Stevie can play all the d-level casino gigs she wants with whatever is left of her performance ability.

[michelej1]

I just read about Adele‘s Vegas gig from January to April next year. She’s only doing the weekends at Caesar’s. It sort of made me angry to read about it. I’m not sure why. It just seems lazy, for Adele at 30 years old. But she also has a son to raise and we are still dealing with Covid, so why am I judging her? I wouldn’t want to tour from city to city.

They did cleverly title it Weekends With Adele.
I think Stevie could do 3 nights a week. I think Rod Stewart does that now at 77. Maybe'd she'd twirl one night out of the 3 night.

[HomerMcvie]

:laugh: Truthfully, those are ugly references.

The truth is that they're not very nice people. Maybe you have to be a very selfish, self absorbed person to "make it"?

Her fans would do scientific calculations about which nights she was most likely to twirl, so that they could book that particular show.

If she did go to Vegas, that is when I’d be most likely to see her again. Otherwise, I don’t think I will.

[SteveMacD]

I think Rod Stewart does that now at 77.

No, Rod Stewart has been making a new album with Faces. :rolleyes:

[jbrownsjr]

I'm liking his music more and more as I get older.

[David]

I'm liking his music more and more as I get older.Did you ever hear the song “Gasoline Alley”? If you love Ravel’s “Introduction and Allegro” or Messiaen’s “Quatuor pour la fin du temps,” you’d love “Gasoline Alley.”

“Gasoline Alley” is the name of it.

[SteveMacD]

I'm liking his music more and more as I get older.

Do you wish that you knew what you know now when you were younger?

[michelej1]

I’m not saying that the Macsters have never canceled concerts before, for self-indulgent reasons. They have, but Stevie would never have pulled the kind of stunt that Adele just has with her Vegas show.

Adele doesn’t care about the vacation time people took off, the airline fares they paid. I love some of her songs, but she is becoming increasingly insufferable.

I am beginning to appreciate the difference between the work ethic of a 30-year-old diva versus a 73 year old one.

I wonder why Adele didn't cancel like a week before.

Clearly this place has gotta be owned by someone she knows, or someone close to her is a major investor in it. Recall years and years ago when she invested in the Starck Club in Dallas??:shrug:

She cancelled at the last minute because of covid, right? Thing is, people have fallen into a false sense of "this mess will be over by the time I" book my tour. And then the tour is ready to begin and what happens? Another variant takes over. It probably killed her to have to cancel at the last minute, Michele.

She cancelled because she said that the show "ain't ready." That's the phrase she used, Viv, because she wants to remind us that she came from humble beginnings and is just a regular gal. She didn't cancel because of Covid.

She's out of control. And she got on social media and sobbed dramatically, to give people the impression that it did indeed kill her to cancel the shows. She has fallen hard for her own hype. The one saving grace about Stevie is that she was in an army and didn't think she could get away with antics like that. At least not when she was 30. Fast forward 40 years . . .

Seriously, Streisand wouldn't have done it either. They don't make 'em like they used to.

I’ve just watched on YouTube Adele singing Hometown Glory, live on the Jools Holland show…..2008, fabulous, only 13 years ago..the girl has changed that’s natural.
But I wish she would return home and stop believing everything she hears, reads, and sees about herself.
Get a grip on reality.
I love her and her voice…but not at the moment…
I also think it’s stage fright that’s caused her to cancel…

[vivfox]

There is no excuse for that and you and everyone else has a right to be angry. It's not like she's going to reimburse everyone's travel and hotel expenses. Be careful though if you're thinking you'll never go see her again because after I saw Lindsey throw a childish tantrum at The Roxy in Phoenix in 1993, I swore to myself I'd never go see him again. And then saw him two more times since.

I've told this story to The Ledge before but I will tell it again. If my memory serves me right, The Roxy in Phoenix, Az. did not offer tickets for sale in advance. It was first come, first serve, day of show sales. This was not a concert venue in the traditional sense. This was a bar with pool tables and dart boards. It had 2 floors and we were free to roam anywhere we wanted throughout the show. There was a small stage, almost level with the floor and I was right up front, right in front of Lindsey for the whole performance. I don't remember anyone else on the stage. My memory is only of him. I remember thinking how tiny he was. He looked so little compared to how I pictured him on a Fleetwood Mac stage. I always thought he was six feet tall but here was this man, tiny and ultra thin. He looked about 5'4". His playing was fantastic and the energy of those around me on the floor was great. We were all into it and cheering loudly and dancing. A good chunk of the patrons were only there to drink, hang with their friends, play pool and darts, socialize with strangers, try to pick people up, you know the usual stuff you see in a bar atmosphere. And to most of those people Lindsey Buckingham was no more than background music to them. They gave him the same attention they'd give to a local band. When Lindsey finished his show he called out the people on the balcony for ignoring him throughout the show. He was real angry. He stood there and angrily thrusted out both of his middle fingers and screamed Ffffffffffkkk Uuuuuuuuuu~!!!!!!! And I was so shocked and I said to myself, "I will never go see this man again in concert."

[sleepless child]

I wonder why he would play such a venue. Unless they paid him a lot of money. I read on some website a Q & A from a friend of Cheri Caspari, Lindsey's girlfriend during this period and she said that once he got back out there promoting his OOTC album and touring he started drinking again after stopping and things with him got a bit crazy. I don't think he could handle the pressure very well on his own.

Or maybe that is just his way and how he deals with any kind of frustration. Not inconceivable.
