Your choice of language above seems designed to inflame and spark an angry reaction rather than to express your feelings.

Dissension is welcome and the Lady Gaga comments sparked an interesting musical discussion. Using offensive, vulgar terms to describe a band member will not. Please refrain.

Alright, will do.

Time Out? 6/25 - 10/07?
 

Where will Fleetwood Mac be between these dates? In the studio???!!!???!!! :rolleyes:

Wed 06/24/09 Edmonton, AB Rexall Place - makeup date

Thu 10/08/09 Copenhagen, Denmark Parken

We're gonna send Stevie to a therapist to deal with her internet issues and then make her a moderator so she can come here and merge duplicate threads. :p

Mods know best :angel:, but I wish we could have started a new thread, NOT bogged down by the unpleasantness of this thread's first page. The question of what may transpire in the next three months, that's full of VERY interesting possibilities.

Yeah, so everyone else wants a new Fleetwood Mac album. yawn. I'll throw in a dissenting voice -- sure, I'd love to see them work on new material, but SEPARATELY, please! ducks quickly

If Lindsey's happiest working on solo work where he has complete control, then for heaven's sake let him. Let Stevie shine as a solo artist -- and please, let her try some new directions, instead of more 70's Rhiannon/shawls&chiffon/magical/mystical imagery. Personally, I'd love to see her stretch out into a bluesy vein.

Speaking of blues -- Mick! More of the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band PLEASE!

Can you imagine the Beatles (if John & George were alive) still touring, doing I Wanna Hold Your Hand and She Loves You? Good heavens, they knew when it was time to go in their own different directions, eons ago.

(I dunno, maybe it's because Beatles fans didn't live and breathe to see John and Paul giving each other googly-eyed lovestruck looks across the stage....):rolleyes:

A new album, then. From each one of them. :D

You're assuming a whole bunch. How do we know why she didn't record Say You Will? It's possible she wasn't asked to record -- unless she planned to tour.

While I'd loving nothing more than a Mac album of NEW material, I wouldn't complain if we got new solo albums either! I would just hate Stevie's final new recordings to be from Say You Will... blech! She's capable of so much better! At least if Lindsey were to bow out of the music biz tomorrow, he'd have left on a high point with Gift Of Screws. I can't honestly say that more solo albums from John or Mick would terribly interest me. But one last recording from Christine would be fantastic, but if her swan song is In The Meantime, that'd be ok with me!

I should clarify....I didn't mean I want new solo albums written, recorded, and released in those 3 off months. ;) Lindsey would probably need three years at least, to make sure it's perfect (I'm a Virgo -- I appreciate the desire for perfection). It would be a real shame if he got a collection of new songs ready to go, and the Mac Machine commandeered them for use on a new FM album. Again.

I'd love to see a new Christine album, too, but it seems like making music just isn't her focus in life anymore. It would be a nice treat though.

And I expect the only albums John will be doing will be photo albums of his boat.

Well I can tell you where Mick will be two days later on the 26th. I started a thread for him so it won't get lost in here.

LOLOLOL.. Go Livia.. I didn't want to say I just lost my drink AGAIN.. but I did..:laugh: Too funny...


Hugs,

Arlene

I think we could have done without the last sentence....

Do you really have to use that last word here? that's disgusting dude!

Mick said that his band would do more blues, that there would be a part two, but that he was caught up with FM for "quite some time" - whatever that means.

What a disgusting thing to say. How dare you? Moderators - is it possible for such offensive language to be removed?

Oh, and your problem with In The Meantime is what exactly? Idiot.

I would LOVE a new Stevie album sometime in the next 2 years, perhaps she may use thebreak to start the very early stages of work on one? Doubtful I ow but I'd love it! As wonderful as the soundstage/live in Chicago package is, her last album of original solo material was way back in 2001. Lindsey has released 2 solo records since then so I'm ok with not havinga new one from him.

Oh, and a new Christine album would be widely embraced by all!

This reminds me of the Family Guy episode where the FCC starts regulating and editing every part of the Griffin's lives, all because a couple of people were offended by them. My two cents are that words are not physically capable of hurting anybody. Only by being offended do we give them power over us. We'd place ourselves down a slippery slope if we started demanding this or that word being banned around here. Now if a boardmember were to call another boardmember a c*nt, that would be different. But the word was used as an expression of a board member's frustration with a bandmember's path in life and music. Calling a boardmember "idiot" in my opinion is far more inflammatory because it's a direct personal attack (versus calling a bandmember a name, because they don't post her), but that's just my two cents.

Back to the topic at hand. I agree Oldtimer, a new Lindsey album would be fun, but it'd take years at this point. I doubt he'd morph any current catalogue songs into another Mac album, given his recent comments on how that didn't work last time around (Stevie agreed too for what it's worth). While obviously they wouldn't record and release anything in 3 months, it'd be nice if they got together over the break and at least started seriously talking about it, did some jam sessions together, discussed thier visions, etc. But I know that won't happen. Honestly, another Mac album at this point is looking more and more like a pie in the sky dream. I very, VERY much hope it happens, but I just don't see it at the moment.
