Mck: FM finishing new album, SN likely not involved
i think this needs a separate discussion thread since it's buried in the MBB and Mirage interview threads:

Ungrateful goat. :mad:
Edit - although I will say, as long as they release it, I'm good. Actually, if it means more duets with LB and Chris, I'm actually grateful she's ungrateful! |

TO ME, this quote from Mick in NO WAY sounds like they are ready and willing to release an album WITHOUT Stevie. Yes, it sounds like the album is basically FINISHED and just needs 3 of Stevie's new songs and some added Stevie harmony vocals on the completed tracks. This could easily be done is 6 weeks, just like the "Tango In The Night" situation where Stevie was NOT present for 90% of the recording process. MARK MY WORDS: At this stage in the game, Fleetwood Mac will NEVER release an album as a QUARTET WITHOUT Stevie. It's just not a possibility. Stevie will finish her solo hobby. Late next year, she'll phone in some songs for the Mac to complete, later spending 4-6 weeks in the studio. Case closed. |

“But never say never. Down the road, we’re in a good position that we could add her songs and integrate her into some of the music we’ve been working on for four years. So that’s the state of Fleetwood Mac Nation.”
More than likely this is what is going to happen. Mick is goad(t)ing :laugh: Stevie by saying these things in the press and announcing the four of them will finish up recording a new album. I don't think either FM or Stevie really wants to release a record without all five on it. |

a) if she had any intentions of recording songs with/for Fleetwood Mac next year, why doesn't she just tell them? b) 3 Stevie Nicks songs would just be a waste of time anyway. Christine has already contributed 7 and Lindsey had already done a load with Mick and John. If Stevie was only going to contribute 3 then that would be pretty pathetic. Clearly she might as well not bother. Bring on the 15th (?) incarnation of Fleetwood Mac |

I think what may have started this whole mess is the band starting work without Stevie. She didn't like it when they did it in 1987, and she doesn't like it now. At least back then they had an excuse: She was in rehab. This time? I bet she felt left out/pissed when she heard that Christine and Lindsey were hanging out, making music without her. The idea that she's "not a musician" and doesn't need to be involved at the outset of an album recording is an old, old sore spot for her. At this point, I wish they'd had the foresight to get together to say, "OK, we're all five back now. How can we collectively make a record in a way that works for everyone?"
In the meantime, I fear Mick making statements like this to the press is only making the situation worse. |

then again in 2010-2011. then again in 2012. then again in 2014. they asked. every time she said no. they tried several different ways. she said no. i think the only time they started working without her was 2012. all other times they asked and wanted to start together with her. looks pretty obvious that every single time she said no. so them finally getting her message seems pretty sensible, no? |

I honestly don't care what Stevie thinks of Mick's comments. I could take or leave her at this point and would without reservation want a new album over waiting for her involvement. |
Quote:
while i read the rest of it in Mick's quote, i don't see him saying anything about actually RELEASING that album. |
Quote:
i'm completely baffled how people still don't get that. |
It would be strange if the Mac plays the new tunes live on the next tour.I guess Stevie would just stand there and do nothing or go back stage since she was no part of it or she will put her 2 cents in and sing the ooohs and aaaahs to just make it look good.I would feel out of place if it was me.In another thing.Mick could be just doing this to set fire under her a$$ to wake her up and join them.

Everyone is overreacting. Mick also used another interview a few months back to get Stevie's attention. Once her tour is over she will be tripping over herself to be included in the final Fleetwood Mac album. 100% guaranteed. Stevie has always, always played these games. Remember in 1983 when she said her involvement in any future Mac album depends on how nice everyone is. This is nothing new and if you ever followed the band this is normal. I would expect nothing more from Stevie. Let her enjoy her short tour and I know Christine will get her to join them in the studio. How in the world would Stevie sign on the dotted line for a huge world tour with the Mac in 2017 but want nothing to do with the album.
C'mon guys. We are smarter than this. |

Exactly..... This the same stuff that always goes on before a MAC release. It's the same BS just a different year. No new album under the Fleetwood Mac without Stevie. |
Until there is a new FM album finished and in the Stores without Stevie on it I wouldn't believe a word of what comes out of Mick's mouth.
Same old FM drama... |
To me, this is no different from that Playboy interview Mick did several years back when he proclaimed that Fleetwood Mac was dead because Stevie refused to tour. It's interesting how the rest of the band in both situations laid all the groundwork for forward momentum, yet Stevie is the focus of both stories. I think in the end, Stevie just needs the validation of the rest of the band. She wants to be begged, and for the buck to stop with her. Then she can credit herself with FM's forward motion, like she always does. Maybe this is her way of getting the band to take her seriously since she doesn't play any instruments or produce. Whatever the case, I suspect she will come around in the end and do her part. It'll just have to be solely on her terms.

What is wrong with...
1. Stevie finishes her short tour 2. Everyone breaks for a couple months for the holidays 3. They work on the new CD for 3 months, Feb through April, (is it really that hard to do a CD in 3 months? lots of other artists do, and they have a lot of it already done) 4. Tour starts in Fall or Winter 2017. ?? Kevin (I"m sure ya'll are going to post thousands of reasons why this won't work. :) ) |

what's different this time around are new statements from both Stevie and Christine that can be read that way - FM will stay all 5 for the next tour, the band is not breaking up even though just 4 are working on new album. i'm cautiously optimistic! |

Oh yeah, and Oh Well and Go Insane in 2009, Come in 2003/4 Maybe there have been others since 1997? Not so many, really. Hmm.. Not that Funny from 2013. She could have enhanced that one a bit. OK, more than I thought, then. Still, it's not like when she used to disappear off the stage for YMLF in 1990, which wasn't great, but given her state of health at the time may have been excusable. |
I'm so relieved the band has decided to move forward! First Christine says she's returning to LA to continue workin on the record in October and now Mick confirms they will go ahead with the project with or without Stevie.
If Stevie wants in later on, cool--as long as it doesn't hold up the project until after the 2017 tour! I am thrilled they've decided to call the project Fleetwood Mac. They did in in 2003 without Christine, they can do it in 2016 without Stevie. I'd love all four but am actually most interested in Christine's songs anyway. |

I don't understand people. Does a rock have to hit you in the head before you realize that Stevie is not going to be on the next Fleetwood album? And guess what, it's not Christine's or Lindsey's fault. Stevie doesn't want to do it.

What do you want to bet? She will be there. She has played this game before every album since Mirage. |
