New Fleetwood Mac Tour
 

In response to "Mick Fleetwood Blames Nicks For Fleetwood Mac Tour Trouble" I am setting up my first Poll!

Like many in the above thread I am not interested in another FM tour without new FM Music.

Both LB and SN have recently released great new solo work.

This should mean that the "large machine" should be able to release some great new material, although this would probably require using a new producer who has excellent mediation skills and all the FM members agreeing to hand over some power and abide by the umpires decision.

Vote + comment away!

I would welcome a new album with an outside producer to calm the Lindsey/Stevie waters, and to make sure that John McVie's bass talents are out front in the mix where they should be. I think it's time to stop the mega tours and have a more intimate affair with smaller select venues. If it's really about the music :) then treat the real fans to an intimate night of nuggets and avoid the most of rumours set lists that have dominated all tours since Tusk.

I maybe in the Minority but......Call it a day. I loathed SYW. it just did not work without Chris. I have no interest in an album OR a Mac without her:distress:

Mick

Just a tour would be fine with me!

And THEN an album with tour! :rolleyes::lol:

Minority, party of two!:wavey:

It doesn't work without Christine. They're just an oldies band now, anyway.

Question: would they be any less of an oldies band with Christine?

I liked SYW! I could still feel a little of that FM magic/chemistry. Granted, it should have been like 12-15 songs, but that can be excused, as it was still one CD. I'm just curious to see if they could put together anything worthwhile nowadays- I bet they could, if they really tried and weren't primarily motivated by money. I think each member may be slightly weak as far as solo work lately (although I loved SWS and thought it was one of Lindsey's best), they could support each other when they play together and still sound great.

Here's what I would like to see...

...a small FM tour later this year while they work on a new album, even a greatest hits-type album with a few new songs a la the '88 GH album. Then a new album and big worldwide tour in 2013/2014.

In other words, something small to begin with getting everybody's toes wet and then the big stuff.

Assuming all current band members are game...:rolleyes:

No but I'd bet they'd make a better sounding new original album. Classic harmonies coming back........but they'd still for sure be an oldies band.....that's what the fans like to hear.

Mick

No, although the full lineup would be more of a reason for me to attend!:lol:

BUT ALSO, the full lineup would most likely be able to construct much more of a FM sounding album. Lessee here, their primary hitmaker was retired, for SYW. Do I have that timeline correctly?:lol:

FM does feel weird without Christine. I wish I could've seen them live while she was still in the band. The addition of Chris would definitely be something worth coming out for, but she'll never go back to them. I'm sure reuniting with FM is about as appealing an offer as a root canal to her these days.

A good reason why they should add 1 or 2 new members, to have more of a full lineup.

Agreed. Hell, Bob Welch has said that he would do it! Even if he only sang 3 or 4 of his bigger songs, that would add variety that they need.

BUT, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. They don't want to share the stage, and it must be 1977, because they're still milking that old war horse, Tumours.

The only thing that bothers me more than them still milking relationships that ended THIRTY SIX years ago, are the shipper fans who still lap up that soured(and expired) milk.



:wavey:

:lol:

I nearly chocked on my spit......But everything said is beyond true:laugh: If Welch DID come back in......i would pop my head in the door again

Mick

Thanks. I'm honest to a fault, and always call a spade a spade! (and no offense really intended, but shippers work my last nerve[I need a vomit emoticon here!])


If they need a backing guitarist, WHO BETTER than Welch? Let him sing a few songs. "I" would pay for that. I won't pay for Buckingham/Nicks yelling/4 note singing range fiasco....
Just sayin'!:lol::lol::lol:

And someone posted yesterday, about me hating Tumours. I do not hate it. It is the most important album of my entire life(fell in love with it, and honestly, my career in music...most likely would never have happened, had it not been BECAUSE of my obsession with it). So I love it. But it's what creatively killed FM, because they're still promoting it strongly, 35 years after it's release. That, is an embarrassment, to them as "artists".

Maybe they would be. But I wouldn't hear what they were singing anyway. I'd just spend 2 hours staring at them lovingly. Well . . . as long as they were all on stage. I don't want her back for 2 hours of Songbird:laugh:.

Michele

Call it a day. Mick John and lindsey record lindseyalbums.

If Mick needs his payday this would never work.:laugh::D

:laugh:yeah but we are talking about our preferences, not Mick's.

so yeah, i'd be perfectly happy with the Men of Mac too! :wavey:

I think Mick just had a bad day when the interview took place.I hope it was only that.Time will pass and they will hit the studio and the road next summer.

Sheryl Crow and who else

That could be my post you're referring to, but I know you don't hate it. I understand exactly how you feel about it. I just posted because I'm perplexed about the anti-Stevie sentiment when Mick is the one who wants to go out and milk Tumours again while Stevie is out on the road singing new songs.

From what I've noticed, there is much more of the anti-Mick sentiment than anti-Stevie.

Question: What does Mick really want? Has he said he's completely opposed to a new album? :shrug:

I think we all would agree that Mick wants $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The best things in life are free
but you can give that to the birds and bees
I want money
that's what I want

Mick loves playing, and loves FM, but that old whore can blow through a few million, like your great grandma, through a generic Depends.

He wants to live(and has always tried) to live by the standards that the singer/SONGWRITERS in FM have. Dude, you're making 20% of what they are....reel dat sh*t in!

:nod::nod::nod::nod::nod::nod::nod::D:thumbsup:

I want the band to call it quits, and then I want Stevie Nicks to sell me a DVD of a bunch of her October Wild Heart shows.

Next, I want some more DVDs of early & mid '70s shows.

That's all I need. Bye-bye, FM. Go write books or golf or something.

I think they ought to bring in a couple of the guys from Gwar.

I agree completely. I live in a 1971-1987 FM world. Without Christine, they are dead to me!:mad::mad::mad:



:lol:

Guy's gotta have his hand made red Italian shoes.

Michele

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thanks for being the one person, that laughed at my joke!!!:xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

Right. He thinks he "DESERVES" to live like Stevie...but he only has the jack, when they're on tour...

Afterwards, he blows through it all, and has to beg Stevie to tour again, so that he doesn't lose his house.....again!:lol::lol::lol:

I love Mick, but he's a dumbass. A financial wizar.....no, just dumbass.:lol:

Would be nice...
 

to see a tour behind new material, not a tour just to promote the past 'hits'.

I must have logged in under David's screen I.D.

Wow. I was never in a million years expecting "call it a day" to poll second!
