And in the end, he chose the cash over people hearing more of his work. The very work that he could have let people hear years ago by going independent or signing to a small label. I love the man to death, but he's an egoist and a blowhard. :laugh:

Well, my whole point is that not as many people would have heard it if it wasn't released as FM. :shrug: Like, considerably less people.

AS much as I love them, they ain't going in my fantasy concert. This way La Nicks and LB will HAVE to sing on key and with effort all of the time. The only other voice allowed on stage is Christine Mcvie, so the other four better start a wooing her :nod:

Feh, I don't buy that he went with FM in order for more people to hear his music. If that were the case, he wouldn't have left the Mac and continued a solo career to begin with, nor would he have pushed for Warners to release GOS when it's obvious he doesn't sell records (which is why they wouldn't release it). He went with the Mac for the money, imo.

We'll have to agree to disagree, then. I think when he left, he thought his solo would be much more well received. Then he realized, Not So Much. I think he did it for, maybe, both reasons, but I think the artistic, people hearing his work, is a little more important. I mean, he is the richest Mac member...

Well, with all due respect to La Nicks, why should she when all rumors indicate Vaegas wants her and is willing to pay her well. I know I, at say 58 years old and having been on the road essentially every other year since 1973 and with a relatively large pile o cash - would say SEE YA here's some comp tickets :laugh:

He can say it's all about being an artiste, but it's not. It's about money, the bottom line. He wouldn't release GOS independently and then after all his dirt-kicking about eating the costs to make SYW a double album, he chickened out. Puhleeze!
Is that song WTWCT? I agree that he talked about wanting to make a statement with his music and if the right 300,000 people heard it..but then he turns around and seemingly refuses to sign to a smaller label to get that *art* out there. Seems he wants to be viewed as a starving artist while being richer than god. Hard to take him seriously..

Their ride is over at Warners, but I still don't think Fleetwood Mac will ever sign to Sanctuary. I think they're finished and have thrown in the towel. They made their cash, it's the end of the line, imo.

Honey, didn't you see Destiny Rules? He says he doesn't care if only a few people hear his stuff. I think it's a bit of bull**** on his part, though, and I agree with you that he wanted lots of recognition, but regardless, I think his main motivation was wanting the cash and the perks that a studio like Warners and a band like the Mac could provide.

:nod: :thumbsup: Precisely.

He's a joke whenever he opens his mouth to wax poetic about business and being a starving artist.

No.Way. They all like to record and perform too much for that. Do you really think none of them can swallow their egos that much? I think they'll find some way, and I hope to shmoodness that they retain some kind of reality and dignity to the whole process. I think they'll turn over to a smaller label, especially once the big ones stop giving them the super offers. :nod:

What does being a Vegas act have to do with selling records and signing to a small label? :confused:

Aside from that, I think he really believes what he is saying, and I think he'll be the first to turn over. Although at this point I have my doubts as to whether you'll answer my posts.... :laugh:
