i don't really know whether or not Lindsey is egotistical. maybe he is. you are saying he is. can you give me some examples?

i do think Stevie very much likes to be in the limelight and she doesn't hide that. nothing wrong with that, she's an entertainer and that makes sense.

As far as an example of Lindsey being egotistical, I really don't want to bring up something that's been rehashed over and over again on threads from the past. And by the way, I don't think being egotistical is necessarily a bad thing, although it can probably get in the way of production sometimes, which I think is just one of Stevie and Lindsey's issues with each other.
You know I've said before that Lindsey is a nice guy ( or at least he was to me). So no hard feelings. :angel:

yeah i'm only bringing it up since people have stated it as a hard fact in this thread, what came across as a hateful way and as a very negative thing, so it bugged me and i wanted to explore what's behind their statements. and i don't know whether it's a fact. it may be.

but you've been always measured in all your posts and i love and respect that. :nod:

not moving around as much might be due to any number of factors (i could never move in those high high platform heels!), but i think you might be referring to instances where she seemed disengaged and disinterested. i think that particularly happened on 2009 tour, and the reviews were brutal to her.

at some of his 2012 m&gs, when they were preparing 2013 FM tour, Lindsey was actually saying how much he didn't like she got all those bad reviews, and that he will try to make sure that doesn't happen on the upcoming tour.

of course, you wouldn't want him to hold back all that energy he brings to their live show!

Aww..that's nice. Thanks. Maybe you should come over sometime and we could sit out by my firepit, roast marshmalows and discuss Stevie and Lindsey.

I'm comparing her not moving around and not smiling as much to her solo shows, where she does much more of that (as she should - she's the only singer on stage).

I was very impressed. Christine was very pitchy the first night. I actually rolled my eyes at the Queen.. but she was so much better night 2 and 3. I guess 16 years does take away from that muscle.

sounds like the Today Show performance. Stevie was really strong and on pitch, while unfortunately Christine was not which was too bad considering the exposure they were getting performing on the show.

That was a disaster. They were all off... Outdoors in the cold is rough.. especially if you can't hear yourself.. which I heard was the case..

it was not that cold. Stevie and Lindsey were not off, if i remember correctly. they certainly sounded really strong if you were right there.

Adding the original Christine quote from RS interview talking about the album and the tour, for some ccntext -

RS: What is the future of the band at this point?
CM: Well, we cut seven songs in the studio already for the start of a brand-new studio album. Which we did probably nearer two years ago. We shelved that temporarily and then went on the road and did the tour. And now, actually, I think we're going back in in October to try to finish it off. Stevie hasn't participated yet, but hope springs eternal. She's going on a solo tour at the moment. But Lindsey and I, we have plenty of songs. There are tons more in the bag that we have yet to record. And they're fantastic. So we're going to carry on and try to finish the record. And then maybe if Stevie doesn't want to be part of that then we can go out and just do some smaller concerts.
RS: You would consider doing some shows with just you, Lindsey, Mick and John [McVie]?
CM: As a four-piece, yeah. With a view of doing a huge world tour after that, with Stevie.
RS: And would you expect that we'll see this new album in 2017?
CM: One would hope so, yeah. That's the plan. And I can't wait for it to be finished. It'll be great. And then we'll hopefully do this world tour with Stevie. And after that, who knows? But we're all still alive, how about that? So that's a start.
