Stevie looks REALLY pretty.

But that picture is weird.

I know but I can't stop staring at it!

Me neither. :lol:

Why is it so sensual?

it's almost as if her face in the second picture would go better with his face in the first picture

Goodness! When was the last time Stevie graced the cover of a magazine?!?!

i think ol' stevie's tryin' to get it in. :thumbsup:

Well, not counting Mojo's recent "Rumours" reissue cover extravaganza, it was probably back in June 07' when she appeared on the cover of Performing Songwriter

Does anybody have these mag's in pdf to share.

I like the first picture. The 2nd one looks to cutesy.

Given their somewhat, um, unusual treatment of "Sisters of the Moon," I love the fact that Camper Van Beethoven is sharing space with Stevie on the cover.

Yes, but they used an old photo from 2005.
I love these new pics! I wonder who the photographer is?

That's news to me - I would have guessed 96/97 during The Dance!!

Mama's lookin' Smoken.....

Thought that may have gone thru her head at the time these pics were taken:
"MAMA LIKES!!!!!" :xoxo:


:sorry:

Has Stevie got a new boyfriend? :lol: Seriously they do look good together.

I love these pictures! But I'm not familiar with this magazine. Is it a American or European mag? I have to get it!

I have never heard of the magazine either. According to the website http://www.relix.com/ their main contact address is in New York.

Actually she was on a cover of "M" Magazine in May, 2011... It's a music magazine.

Hey Dave, Stevie, find a recording studio, now, and make us a smokin' hot new album. :nod:

Good grief. It probably the first Stevie Nicks CD I'll Frisbee into the woods.

I always like to try skeet shooting.LOL.........


Sorry I could not resist...LOL........................

I had to much apple cider tonight......................

You crack me up sometimes Skip. Too much apple cider?

LOL

Reading the byline or whatnot actually makes the first one more poignant to me, like he's kind of absorbing her lost dreams, though I am hunky dory with the unexpectedly sensual interpretation too.

Too funny...Seriously I did that years ago with Rock a Little once I clued in how bad it was.

No offense to Dave Grohl as I think he is amazing and all...but this cover ticks me off due to the fact that we're still using 10-year-old photos of Fleetwood Mac and not a single new photo of them has emerged for promoting the tour.

That's my only gripe.

But, I think she does look beautiful here.

We should all just print out current pictures of the four of them, past them together and hold them up throughout the concert. Maybe they'd get the message.

Michele

I think they wont care.

It could be worse .They all could pose in front of Oprah's Photographer and look like crap.Her Photographers must of skipped the day in Photography school when the chapter on lighting was taught .

Maybe Stevie was being a raging diva and this is their way of punishing her?

Barnes and Noble said they don't have this magazine. Where can we get it?

It could be.

That artist who painted Kate the Duchess of Cambridge must be related.LOL....

Dave Grohl & Stevie Nicks: The Old Dreams & New Realities of Rock and Roll

We are extremely excited about our latest cover story that centers on a conversation between these two legends. While decades separate these artists, a shared passion and drive to make music—with their steady bands, solo or with newfound friends—unites them. Over the course of more than 5,000 words, the candid conversation explores the triumphs and challenges that each has faced while illuminating the rapidly changing landscape faced by newer artists.

Below is an excerpt from the cover story.

Though you two came of musical age at different times, the industry was healthier at either of those times, whether it was the mid-‘90s or the early ‘70s. Musicians today face a much tougher reality between a lack of monetary support from record labels, the new economics of music sales in the digital age and even higher gas prices.

Stevie: They’re hardly getting paid and [companies are] taking all their merchandising and part of their salary. They have nothing.

How do the new Stevie Nicks and Dave Grohls fight to be heard?

Stevie: It’s very hard.

Dave: The reason why Stevie Nicks is really popular is because she’s Stevie Nicks. There weren’t 10,000 Stevie Nickses trying to get a record deal back then or now. There’s just one. The reason why she’s so popular is because of what she does and not everyone can do what she does. It’s the same thing with, “Why did Nirvana become popular? Were there seven other Nirvanas in line waiting to put out a record at that time?” Not really. Kurt [Cobain] was an amazing songwriter with an incredible voice.

Stevie: And incredible charisma.

Dave: He was such a gifted person that if you had met another Kurt Cobain and given him a record deal, do you think the same thing would have happened? If you handed those songs to someone else and said, “Hey, record this record,” it wouldn’t have sounded like Nirvana because it wasn’t Nirvana. The reason why those things happened was because it was what it was, but at the same time, the industry didn’t really…they weren’t waiting for Nirvana to become the biggest band in the world. They pressed 3,500 copies of Nevermind the week it came out, because they thought it would take six months to sell those ****ing records. The reason why musicians become popular is because—I can’t say that, because a lot of really ****ty musicians become very popular—if you’re really great at what you do and you’re, in some way, able to share it with everyone, then you’ll be recognized for it. I believe that.

You [also] have to define success. What do you consider success? I used to think, “All I want to do is ****ing be able to buy corn dogs with money from playing music. Instead of selling equipment, I’d like to be able to play a show and feed myself. That would be awesome.”

Stevie: And have a cool little place.

Dave: I don’t think people should consider a career in music—I honestly don’t because, ultimately, you’re probably going to be disappointed—but it shouldn’t stop you from making music. Playing crazy, noisy punk rock in 1987 wasn’t going to kick Michael Bolton out of the charts, but everybody did it because they loved doing it. Look at the people in the Sound City movie: Neil Young. Why is Neil Young Neil Young? Because he’s ****ing Neil Young, that’s why. Why is Paul Paul? Because he’s Paul. All of those people, I honestly believe, the reason why people appreciate what they do is they’re the only people that do what they do.

Stevie: Now, the record companies don’t have any money because a record used to sell for a certain amount of money or a CD sold for 18 bucks. The record company got $10 and then they put that in their coffers and they built that up so they had money to sign the new Dave Grohl or the new Stevie Nicks. [They] helped her or him to morph into the great person they were going to be or the great band they were going to be. Now, kids don’t have that because these record companies—****ing record companies—they can’t do anything for you.

My record [2010’s In Your Dreams], that I love more than anything I’ve ever done, my record company didn’t help me with that. I went out and toured for two ****ing years and said, “I’m on a mission. I’m going to play these damn songs, six of them, every night in every city I can until I can walk away and feel like I’ve done everything I can possibly do.” And I’m Stevie Nicks! So how is it for that little girl that’s 22 years old and is as good as me and writes great songs and is really cute and is ready to rock, but can’t support herself?

There’s no record company that’s going to sign her or, if they do sign her, they’re going to change her into a slightly pseudo-rap artist and they’re going to make her wear creepy clothes and make her sing lyrics she hates and tell her she can’t do her own songs. Then her soul is going to die and then what is she going to do?

Stevie was pretty fiesty. :lol:

Yes, Stevie was indeed fusty. But I don't agree that the record companies don't have money. They do. They like to throw out all the stastistcs about how much piracy has cost them. But when you ask them just to show their PROFIT margins, profits have actually risen for them. They lost money during the Napster heyday and many small labels went out of business, but there has been a recovery since those bleak times.

WB isn't poor, Stevie.

Michele

Oh, I think they have plenty of money. But I don't think they give these huge advances to artists like they used to in the old days. At least, not so freely.... they're not going to invest in you just to give you a chance. You've got to already be a cash cow (or else have the immediate potential of being a cash cow) in order for them to lay any big cards on the table.

This statement is humorous, but shows how out of touch Stevie is with music, today. There are, literally, dozens and dozens of young female artists that are enjoying success, with no pseudo-rap music on their albums and no creepy clothes. :lol:

When you do get an advance, it's harder to pay back because of the lack of promotion and radio play.

It all sounds great when you hear you're getting a $2M advance, then you find out your record costs $2.5M to record, and then you pay for videos, and then you pay your tour musicians, your record sells squat and you owe more than you'll ever make with another record.

That was my first thought after I looked at the two covers!

In addition, Relix will be revealing one exclusive photo from Dave Grohl and Stevie Nicks’ Sound City Players concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom on February 14 via our Twitter everyday until the issue hits newsstands on April 9. We’re going to start tomorrow, so make sure to follow us so that you don’t miss out on these previously unreleased photos from renowned rock photographer Danny Clinch.

What digital music sharing exposed was that the record industry was excessive, bloated, and mismanaged. They had to increase the price of CDs to pay far too many useless positions and services. Once they downsized and consolidated operations, everything was fine and the profits went back up. The record industry knows now that it can't get away with charging that much for music anymore.

So how is it for that little girl that’s 22 years old and is as good as me and writes great songs and is really cute and is ready to rock, but can’t support herself?

There’s no record company that’s going to sign her or, if they do sign her, they’re going to change her into a slightly pseudo-rap artist and they’re going to make her wear creepy clothes and make her sing lyrics she hates and tell her she can’t do her own songs. Then her soul is going to die and then what is she going to do?


In a sense Stevie is talking about herself here(as she usually does). In 1991 her record company forced her to record Sometimes It's A Beach. They told her if she didn't work with Jon Bon Jovi her career would be toast.

Did they make her wear creepy clothes?
