whats the next alvum gonna be like?
 

You know, I was watching some stuff about who the next president might be, and it got me thinking, if they can talk about that stuff so far in advance, I'll start my own little thing. The next Fleetwood Mac album, which is supposedly coming in 2007. I wonder what kind of an album it will be? As we all know SYW has songs that were written over several years, some more than that, and I'm wondering if this next recording will feature more songs of that nature, or will it be a more unified situation where it will be more new songs. Personally, I wouldnt mind the latter, because as far as I'm concerned they have that in them for sure. And if the next album is to be Fleetwood Mac's last album, (Hopefully not) I think that would be a great way to end their career as a band together, not that Fleetwood Mac has anything to prove to anyone. I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about this? :cool:

I hope there is alot of Stevie penned songs on it.

I would love to hear them do something a little different. Say You Will was great, but it wasn't so far away from their "sound." I would like to hear a more Tusk-like record with good solid "radio friendly" stuff and some more obscure things. Then again, if they came out with a very poppy-radio-hits-only type record that would be Ok too. I would really love for Christine to rejoin and be a guest on some tracks.

That would be great.


Well Stevie usually has a lot of songs lying around, so maybe a little of both. A little old and a little new.
Is it gonna be their last album????

I think I'd be happy with any new material, even if it's just Stevie and Lindsey harmonizing while reading the phonebook. Is this album a for sure thing? :)

I want a new Stevie solo album first. :sorry: :wavey:

I'd like Lindsey to release the solo album he's supposedly working on before any Fleetwood Mac stuff.

I agree, I'd like to hear at what point he is as a solo artist right now. As I'd prefer to have a Stevie solo album before a FM album.

Romy

I agree with Romy. I'd also like to see a Stevie Nicks LIVE album at some point in her illustrious career -- not Romy's, Stevie's.

What's an "alvum"? :shrug: :laugh:

Lindsey must put out a solo-album first or we get a FM album in 07 with SGCYM, Twist of Fate, Shuffle Riff, Down on Rodeo, Gift of Screws and five new steviesongs, written in a week or three, and worked over in the studio for a year. Oh and a midtempo hardrocker with a guitarsolo that slightly resembles the solo of I'm So afraid.

so that's an alvum. An album we already have.

Ah, I see it translates into Dutch as well. :cool:

That has been driving me NUTS, too. Especially in the header!

I keep meaning to tell you that you have the cutest avatar! :)

Well, I want Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine to all come out with new solo albums before there's a new Mac album. And then when there's a new Mac album, I want Christine to do guest vocals on it, since I know it's too much to ask for her to actually return to the band as a full-fledged member.

Thanks, it's the linux penguin. I thought it was cute too so I used it.

cool down dear friend. i explained what it means. that should ease your mind. have a cigar.

i hav speling isues. poeple hoo kant spel shudnt tri. :wavey:
At your suggestion, I'll put on some Pink Floyd now.

I have my doubts we will see another FM album of all new material. I am not saying it is not going to happen, but I would would not be surprised if Say You Will was it.

Reasons:

Say You Will sold a million copies give or take in the US. Not a bad number, but not FM numbers. They may not see it as worth it. Particularly when they can tour and make millions new album or not. The album was not a windfall for Warners. The band did not reap much from it at all.

There is a strong possibility that Fleetwood Mac will Tour 50 dates or so next summer. Arenas and Ampis on their own and maybe a few Stadiums in a double bill with the Eagles. It has been discussed. The problem is each band's show approaches 3 hours. It means one would have to play most of their set in daylight. Neither one wants to. Anyway you probably will see FM on tour next summer. No new album of new material to promote. Does not mean they won't have anything to promote.....


I also don't see another Lindsey studio album. No support or enthusiasm to do one from the industry or public. Which means no forcing mechanism for Lindsey to actually finish one.

Stevie you will probably see another solo album, but it will not be before the summer of 2006. That means if they tour, the next time she may do another album would be 2007. She has no obligation to Warner's for another album and they are not exactly standing at her door wanting another one. So we will see....

Finally age. I not sure that band has the inner desire to spend a year making an album anymore. They may give it some lip service, they may actually do it.

I don't really mind what it's like -- as long as they do it before they're too old to do another world tour and COME BACK TO IRELAND, DAMMIT!! :blob1: :blob1: I missed them last time ...

But I loved Say You Will -- my favourite album, second to Tango. If there's another few songs of the callibre of Peacekeeper or Come I'll be very happy. Although I'd love to see another Lindsey album too. And Stevie! Hell, it's all good.

2007? That's not bad I guess ... is it a sure thing?

On a slightly more totally unrelated note ... can anyone tell me how to put pictures into a signature? *sheepish smile* This is why I'm still a Junior Ledgie!

I havent gone to spelling clas lately, LoL sorry :woohoo:

That's okay, I got a kick out of it. :woohoo:

So would I! I doubt that we will see a Mac album for a long time if ever again. I am starting to wonder about Lindsey's solo album, too but I am keeping the faith that we will see it at some point.

This sounds strange to me. I can understand that a major wouldn't beg him to finish his solo album (even if they should, to save us from some of the rubbish they usually produce) but wouldn't an independent label be interested?


My optimist side is still making me believe that we'll see another album from her (hopefully more) and another one from the band.

Romy

For the 40th anniversary, I think we might see a double album with past members (Christine McVie? Bob Welch? Peter Green? Jeremy Spencer? Billy Burnette? Rick Vito?) joining up with the current quartet and doing some new material...followed by a on off show with as many past members as who will agree to do it that will be taped/filmed for a live DVD/CD...AND, then a tour with as many of those past members as will agree to do it. ;)

THEN....


....Fleetwood Mac fades into the sunset. :shocked:

Chili, oh you silly dreamer! I hope your dream comes true! :woohoo:

UMMM ...................YEAH!!!

That's a helluve an idea. I love it
