If this happens, I am there! I have craved a stripped-down Lindsey for a while now.... hey, now, get your minds out of the gutter!

Thank you for tracking that down and posting it!

Well it certainly DOES sound like he is serious about the solo stuff this go 'round! I agree with Carne that a stripped down version would be incredible and yes, I SO would be there as well. I had to laugh, though....he's going to spend just a couple of months working on new songs???? Methinks otherwise, but I'll remain optimistic.

It did kind of sound like there may be a Fleetwood Mac future as well, with him stating Stevie wanted to take some time off.

Thank you again for contacting Mark and posting the remainder of the interview, Goldie! :xoxo:

Patti

Cool!!!
 

I recall Stevie saying she never took time off after finishing the TISL tour (was working on new songs for SYW) and came right to the Studio after TISL. Whatever hip injury Stevie has, the vocal issues, etc makes it seem it's high time for a Stevie hiatus.

Hopefully Lindsey will not wait real long and get a solo album out. He's in the position. On your mark, get set . . . . WAIT. :laugh:

One more thing...
 

"the interview was longer ago than I remembered -- it was April 29." :wavey:

I would be...
 

interested in seeing a stripped down tour myself, Would be a change of pace from the atypical arena shows.

Ditto! An LB solo album in the spring, huh? Spring of 2008, perhaps!

Don't forget, we'll have plenty of stripped down Lindsey in September, on his solo Soundstage show! :D

Yeah, get rid of all those extra players. They're just up there taking orders anyway.

Fleetwood Mac isn't meant to sound full-bodied. It's like adding strings & choir to Billie Holiday.

Thanks, Chris!!!!!!!! I am so pumped!!!!!!!!! :nod:

I am crossing my fingers and toes. Plus, I want everyone to be able to see him in the same setting as the Soundstage performance I witnessed in Chicago last September. It was jaw dropping. Strandie, Sulamith and I floated out of there on a little cloud and it still gives me goosebumps just thinking about that evening.

Well, being the selfish, greedy fan I am, that news bums me right out. I was hoping for a new Stevie solo album, too, while waiting for the next Mac release.
Ah well. :(

Stevie certainly deserves some time off, since she's rarely taken breaks over the years. I guess I just still think that we'd have far more albums, if they wouldn't spend so much time, and expend so much energy, on the road.

I don't think she'll stop writing or recording. I just think she needs a break from touring. :shrug:

That I could live with. :)
As I've said, I wouldn't be at all disappointed if any or all of them took a break from touring... but I'd sure hate to see them also take a break from recording.

If Lindsey and Stevie could harness the intensity and energy of performances like Say Goodbye and Beautiful Child, and somehow parlay that into writing and recording new music, it would be a tremendous endeavor.

Short of that, let them do what they must. Stevie needs a rest. Bless her. She deserves it.

Lindsey wants to work and he seems to be in a fury to get some music out. Bless him. We deserve it.

Johnny, I highly doubt that Stevie's being tired is going to stop her from writing and recording songs, be them demos or what not for her next album. She could've already recorded some demos for a new album during the month-long breaks between tour legs. There's still hope.

And she must use Space Needle or I'll croak.
