Chris won't come back....
 
....//
Added drummer Mick Fleetwood, who held Nicks' hand tightly while answering questions, "I think there's always a Fleetwood Mac story somewhere." Asked if longtime member Christine McVie would ever return to the fold, he replied, "I think [the chances are] very, very slim [or] next to nothing, so I will say no. But we miss her."

I think this was from that Billboard press release from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I'm certainly not surprised. That's what she was saying in many of those interviews last year. John McVie in his Q & A said the same thing. However, it's been over 7 years since she left Fleetwood Mac & people are still asking Mick if she's coming back. I LOVE that.

This also assumes that Fleetwood Mac will record again. There's no guarantee of that at all, in my opinion.

I've been assuming she'd never come back, so this doesn't surprise me.

(Not that I wouldn't love for her to if that was what she wanted).

I wasn't surprised by what Mick said either....but part of me wishes they'd just make some new music as the five of them. Screw touring if Chris is so turned off to it....just concentrate on the music, have fun w/ each other.

In all the audio comments Chris makes on her site, she often speaks of herself as still being part of FM and has to keep correcting herself.... like in a way she hasn't 'disassociated' from them, and she probably never will...so if the pull of chemistry is so strong, why not just give in to it, and do a few songs together....sigh. :(

Although I suppose the financial ramifications of not touring, and how that affects Mick and John (as non-writers) etc is a whole other issue, I realize that...but on the other hand, they're all so freakin rich already LOL....can't $ be a non issue at this point?!

I agree. :nod: I'm willing to say screw touring if that would mean Christine would come back. I'd be okay with just the music and not live shows. :nod:

It just shows what a huge part of the band she was. I think her contribution to FM has been underestimated but there's no doubt (in my opinion) that they missed her on SYW.

I still think (and I know I've said this before) that IF they ever do record again honour could be satisfied by Lindsey spending a couple of weeks in the beautiful Kent countryside, get Chris to add a few vocals and some keyboards to some songs and maybe record one of hers that he could take back and they could work on.

Then it wouldn't matter if she toured (because she wont).

It's at this point I normally wake up! :laugh:

That's the whole crux of the matter, in my opinion. There's no money to be made just from recording an album. They have to do these oldies tours in order to make money. Fleetwood Mac is a corporate entity. They'd never do something like what Chris did with In The Meantime. She made that album purely for her own enjoyment. :thumbsup:

That would be wonderful, but I can't see that happening IF they ever record again. They are still trying to push Buckingham/Nicks. If there are any Christine McVie songs on the album, then it becomes a Fleetwood Mac album, rather than just Buckingham/Nicks with Mick & John in the background(as Chris herself described it).

Yes I take your point on that.

I thought that SYW (although I enjoyed it) was too long and sounded like Buckingham Nicks backed by Fleetwood and McVie (which is no bad thing)

IMO the heart (and the hits) went out of the band when she left.

Long sigh!!!

Is FM a corporate entity, or is it just Mick and John? Do you think Stevie or Lindsey would do something like In the Meantime?

That's a good question. I'm not sure. When I said that FM is a corporate entity, I meant the entire band, not just Mick & John. Lindsey could have released his Gift Of Screws solo album years ago on an indie label. But, he didn't; he turned it into a "Fleetwood Mac" album, largely because of money, in my opinion. I think making money is a high priority for all of them(although maybe more so for Mick & John since they have no other means to make money). Maybe that will change 5 years or so down the line when they'll be too old to tour.

I agree that a big part of LB's decision to release his stuff under the name FM was to see it 'recognized' in a way that it would not have been had he put it under just his name... and obviously touring together makes everyone more $ than if they tour separately.

However it would make me a bit sad to think that of after making millions on this last tour-- (didn't S/L make like 35mil each and J/M made 15 mil each? for some reason those #'s are in my head ) that $ is still the main focus? come on, they're all set for life at this point; hopefully they are all mature enough to not piss that kind of $ away....so must the main objective really be to make the most $ possible? sort of sad if that's the case. but I guess maybe that's the business.

I do think it's all about the money now. As for Lindsey, I understand he's got 4 dependants now, and I'm sure it would be nice to leave them all SET for life.
But, for the music, I think it's kinda sad. Touring, playing the same old worn out songs, rehashing a THIRTY year old breakup......gimme a break.
Maybe when Mick and John ARE too old to tour, they could do a studio album with Chris. :woohoo:
God only knows how much better she'll sound in five years! :xoxo:

Johnny Stew 03-17-2005 03:25 PM
I've often gotten the feeling that Fleetwood Mac... Mick & Stevie most especially... don't feel like they're a "vital" and "active" band unless they're touring.

So, for the most part, I think the touring IS done for a love of the music, but I definitely agree that the money they stand to make each time, is a very compelling incentive indeed.

I said long ago that I'd rather have a brand new Mac or solo album every other year, than all of the extensive touring.
Maybe it's because I'm not a concert-goer, but the touring always feels like wasted time to me. :shrug:

One more studio album... this time written from the ground up... focusing on the Nicks & Buckingham dynamic, would be wonderful, IMO.
And then I'd like to see at least one last album with the 'Rumours' five. :nod:

Oh, it's a joke and the "band" has become the punchline.

The Dance was done for the money, we all know that. It had nothing to do with making quality music or becoming vital again, it was about lining their coffers. I thought a new album (Say You Will) was a good sign, but then when they went out on tour, it became obvious that it was just about the money all over again. The breakup drama, their hamming it up for the crowds, the verbatim speeches (and movements) every night, etc. Fleetwood Mac is no longer a band when they tour, they're an acting troupe with unnecessary extra players. Get out there and show us that you can be good live instead of parodying yourselves or pack up the plantation and let someone else book your dates at the blasted venues.

After forty years in the business, if those two really think they're "vital" simply by touring and rehashing the same old crap, they're delusional and it makes me wonder how such idiots became so successful. :laugh:

I'm ready for Chris' return right now. Nicks and Buckingham have nothing to offer us as a duo at this point and it would make for a dull listen, in my opinion. I'd like to hear some new Fleetwood Mac harmonies before I die, not years-old Lindsey Buckingham tunes with a newly cut Stevie background vocal slapped onto it's ass at the last minute or Stevie Nicks tunes with obnoxious "VSO Lindsey" crooning in the background.

I sure as **** didn't think I missed Christine back when Say You Will came out or when I saw them live, but in retrospect, I miss her like I'd miss my penis if it suddenly vanished into thin air. We need Chris back, more than ever, in my view.

Good God, diss, don't you think you're being a little harsh, calling Mick and Stevie "idiots"? Aren't we a fan board? I'm all for teasing and mocking and criticizing but to (excuse the pun) diss them so adamantly and cruelly and still be a fan? I genuinely like the people of whom I consider myself a fan. And I know Stevie can be ditzy, and she comes off as self-centered sometimes (hell, I'm the same way), but you call her an idiot for that? Don't you have a fondness for her earlier works? (Of course I'm going to defend Stevie big time here because I love her so much). But this isn't just the fanatic in me speaking.

If you were being facetious (what with the laughing emoticon and all), then disregard what I just said).

I agree that a Say You Will 2 would be a useless endeavor, but are we so certain that those two have nothing left for us? I thought Lindsey's songwriting on that album was fantastic and I love or like most of Stevie's on there.

That being said, I still would much rather have Christine in the mix, and the penis comment was funny. :laugh:

Ditto. Though I would like to go one of their live shows one day, I'd prefer a new album. The latter is just more important to me.

However, in reality, I do think Mick is an idiot of the highest order, but not Stevie.

Nicks and Buckingham working on songs from the ground up? Yes, I am absolutely positive that they have nothing to offer me that I would find very appetizing. They're at the point now where they are not the great collaborators that they once were, they don't have as much in common musically as they did at the height of their success and I predict we'd get an album of compromise rather than something both of them are 100% proud of. As it is, I love Lindsey's material more than ever, but Stevie has once again retreated into half-baked territory as far as I'm concerned (i.e. half of it is fantastic and half of it is crap). But it's all personal taste. :nod:

Well, there are a lot things I've learned through various boards and in his book that I don't like at all, but I don't think I'm ready to call him an idiot. He's said and done things I don't approve of, basically. But you probably know a lot more about all that than I do.

Well, I enjoy all of Stevie's songs on Say You Will except "Silver Girl." I don't think any of them are as good as her earlier songs, but I still like them. More songs as good as "Destiny Rules" and "Running Through the Garden" would be great, but I'm not entirely sure that she can do something like them again. (Not like them, but I mean of the same quality). As for Lindsey and Stevie doing different things musically, I want to think that they can just let each other do what they want to do, not make decisions about each other's songs and such. But then maybe it would be a Stevie solo album/Lindsey solo album put together, I don't know. :shrug: Maybe I'm being totally unrealistic.

Oh, come on. Look at the poor decisions he's made. He's lost MILLIONS of dollars, more than once. He'll go for any get rich quick scheme.

I miss the soft buffer between the extreme tracks that Lindsey and Stevie put in. Say You Will is just too much at times, like Murrow followed by Illume. Her voice is golden and the harmonies were just delicious, I yearn for the days of old.

They aren't claims, they're facts. :lol:

He was fired as the Mac's manager for not keeping tabs on the money, he went bankrupt, he invested in lord knows how many bad real estate deals, he shacked up with Jonathan Todd, he released that vile book, he was the sole reason for Stevie quitting the Mac in the early nineties by being a jackass over Silver Springs, he has more get rich quick schemes than Miami has senior citizens (golf videos, wine, etc.); the list goes on and on. He's a talented musician, but brains are something he does not have, IMO.

Well, considering all the members of his official message board...you'd think one of them was also a Ledgie.

But, about the "Silver Springs" thing--some people I've talked to (Stevie fans) actually think he was right about that. I didn't agree but they thought it was the right decision because the song was the Mac's. :shrug: I personally think she should've had it.

Well, I did say "from the ground up." ;)

But, either way, I still disagree with the idea that Stevie & Lindsey have nothing left to offer as a duo. You might be bored by all of the "are they/aren't they" stuff, and I'm not into any of that either, but I do think those two make magic together... even when it's not exactly "organic." ;)
The love/hate relationship between them creates an exquisite tension in the music they create together.

I feel there are collaborative areas that Stevie & Lindsey still haven't tapped, and I'd like to see those explored before Christine re-enters the picture and that aspect becomes distilled by a third once again. :shrug:

It's funny, but based on your posts (and what I've therefore gleaned of your personality), I think you'd be all about extremes.

And maybe it's ironic that I tend to love them!

Just goes to show you, that you never really know anyone! ;) :xoxo:

Like I said, I do miss Christine, but I'm not quite ready for her to return to the band either.
Now, having said that, I sure as hell wouldn't bemoan the fact if she did come back. I love her, and I'd be as ecstatic as anyone... I just think that Stevie & Lindsey still have more to say as a duo, before they become a trio again.

:mad: :distress: :distress: :distress: :p
Brian, you're wrong. They're SOOOO lame now(and I'm sure Chris' absence is only part of it). SYW was a decent effort, be it DOESN'T sound like a FM record. There's no heart. Only rock, and ditz.....
