Mick’s Meet and Greets
 

I got an email yesterday about meet and greets being available. $600 + fees apiece. Has anyone here done this before? Is it worth it?

I know things are a little bit contentious around here right now but I’m looking for honest opinions and reviews. so if it all possible, no name calling here. Thanks in advance.

In that past, I paid about that amount for a Meet'n'Greet with Mick. However, it came with a ticket.

You get a bag of stuff, but it's not really that great. I think the "big item" in the bag this time is a scarf, so that tells you something. For me, it was a drum head, which is pretty useless.

The Q&A is about 20 minutes. He is friendly and answers questions in an open manner. Unfortunately, the questions from audience members are usually not that interesting. I tried to think of an example and I seriously cannot remember one single question that was asked. It would be cool if you could get him to talk about Lindsey's firing, but I kind of doubt that is going to be allowed.

The best part is getting to take a picture with him. For that brief time, you get a moment with him. You can have a private word with him. However, that "moment" is about 60 seconds.

If you really, really want to meet a member of Fleetwood Mac, this is your best bet. He's the only one that does this. Otherwise, I do not think it is worth it without a ticket.

I never got paying money to meet a celebrity. I've met Mick in person and oh boy is it a let down.

I think I'm falling for you! :angel:

I will pay someone to ask a real question why he prevented Bob Welch from being inducted in the Rock N Roll hall of fame.
He loves those lame questions from casual fans. This one would possibly give you the death stare :eek:

Any takers?

Thanks.

I’m curious about what the scarf looks like but no $600 curious haha. And
I’m not so desperate to meet Mick, it’s just that he’s one step from the rest of the band, and an old partner/drug buddy of Stevie’s, so that’s what the appeal is. I’d also like to see the view from the stage.

I would be asking for either details about Lindsay or whatever crazy cocaine story he would share. My guess though, is that he would probably share neither one.

Nathan, if the money isn't a stretch for you
then I say go for it. You never know if this
is your only chance. I had a little time with
him (for free) and he was nice.

I'll refrain from commenting on what's going
on now since you asked.

Read Mick's first book about the crazy cocaine stories

Thanks. It wouldn’t be a stretch except I already have a front row center ticket. So now to add another $600+fees makes me want to start typing his name with a dollar sign or whatever in it too.

the view from the stage is probably the best part of experience. of course, everybody would buy those m&gs in the past since they would come with good tix in first 5 rows. no doubt that he won't sell many now.

we were also discussing it here, someone asked the same question: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpo...5&postcount=10

after doing a few of these, most people would just pick up their tix and skip meeting Mick.

I met him at one of his book signings, which was not totally free because I bought his book though it was not required. I got a photo with him but he was rather disengaged (with me at least, and some others) but then was very engaged with people who told him they'd been to his restaurant and such, a couple people seemed to maybe know him 3rd or 4th hand (connections thru friends of friends kind of thing). Surprisingly he didn't seem bothered by being asked to sign bunches of albums...:shrug:

I wouldn't say it was a "letdown" but frankly rather underwhelming. :sorry:

Honestly--If I could meet any of them--Lindsey and John--I think you'd have the most "real" conversations. Stevie would be entertaining no doubt, and that would be fun...just because. But over a few beers--L&J

Thought I'd share this, which I saw on Instagram. Obviously take from it what you will.

mambrosiamusicI’m curious @brianlarsenmusic will you be attending this tour sans Lindsey?
brianlarsenmusic@mambrosiamusic the short answer is that I don’t know. The long answer is that I dearly love both Christine and Lindsey and have a personal relationship with both of them. Chris is the sweetest person I’ve ever met and she even went flowers to my wedding. Lindsey has been nothing but totally supportive of me and we’ve gone out to some amazing lounges in Atlanta, Sydney, and beyond. They’re both incredible people that I love very much. Chris had nothing to do with what’s currently going on and I’ll leave it at that. Meeting Stevie was an interesting experience because of the way she manages to command all the attention in the room but I have no relationship with her. Met Mick many times and couldn’t care less. John is nice but shy. But Lindsey and Chris have both been nothing shy of amazing and totally generous to me. So if I go, I’ll be doing it solely for Chris. That said, I feel a strong alliance towards Lindsey overall and am in close contact with his people about all this. That’s the best clarity I can provide. But yes, if you have to be stranded on an island with two Fleetwood Mac members, make it Chris and Lindsey. They are the kindest people you’d ever want to meet and have treated me like their own family for years now. I don’t know what else to say.

I saw that--It's interesting no doubt. I love Christine--really I do. But I am so torn given the current situation and how she hung Lindsey out post Buck/McVie Someone on another thread mentioned they see Christine/ John bailing after the US leg wraps up....honestly, given what Brian said, may not be a stretch. I don't see this tour having a global reach. I just don't
But for now....Beers with John and Lindsey :)

Lindsey doesn't drink.

;)

LOL I know--I don't think John does either at this point. I am fine with an O'Douls! Point is--seem to be 2 down to earth guys who are not overly impressed with themselves any more.

I'd bet they will ask you not to ask Mick about the Lindsey issue. But If they allow you, I agree he won't share details about it.

And yes, Mick's first book details many cocaine stories.

I’m pretty sure John had to quit, too.

I understand the disappointment that many of us have with Christine, HOWEVER, I do try and look at it through the lense of, she just got back in the band a few years ago and she was probably trying not to add gas to the fire. It also sounds like they pulled a fast one on her and the deed was already done by the time word got back to her.

And, it’s not like she doesn’t have her own loyalties to Mick and John. She got caught in the middle, made it known she wasn’t happy about what happened, but is making the best of the situation. I don’t know what more people expect from a woman who will be 75 in a couple of months. :shrug:

and honestly had she also walked, it would of put an even bigger divide into the band that also would of been the final straw that broke them up completely as a band. What happened to Lindsey may not of been fair at all, but cant blame her for not wanting to cause additional problems amongst one another.

Friends once basicaly stumbled over Mick on the streets (in germany, I doubt that he would walk around onywhere n the US) and talked with him for 5 minutes. They say he was charming, nice and funny. He then told them that he needed to go to his Meet and Greets now. That was hilarious to my friends, they accidently got the meet and greet for free.

which is what should have happened. how would that be worse than what actually did happen? :confused:

although i have to say i'm enjoying these catastrophic sales and them offering free m&gs and front rows already a week after tix went on sale and 6 months before the shows.

should they have agreed to hold off touring until the time is right and keep everyone and work together...yes absolutely.


Do I wish for all of them ending in a situation with bad feelings amongst ALL of them, no I dont. Its heartbreaking enough to see it happen with lindsey. To see the other 4 walk away not talking to each other would be additionally tragic.

I still think mick is a money hungry idiot and stevie is tripping on her own ego....and they had a huge hand in this together.

Totally agree.. Christine hosed a friend... Honestly--at pushing 80---why should she care that Mick Fleetwood is happy. She hosed a friend and a colleague and a collaborator. And by the way--her "friends" hosed her by dealing this deck of cards while she was in the far recesses of the UK where they clearly don't have wifi, internet, email or phones so they couldn't tell her what they were planning. Poor Chris :(

My initial reaction. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Does that include a concert ticket and maybe a free meal at Fleetwood's on Front Street?????!!!!!

OMFG!! :laugh:

I met him for free after a Zoo show in 1992. I’m still a fan and would love to talk to him about the band and whatnot, but I would never pay for a meet and greet, especially at that price. That’s guitar money!

Are you kidding me? I literally TWICE walked into two different supermarkets and he was sitting at a table ALONE with his wine waiting for people to come up to the table. If there was two people that was a lot.

I believe this is the perfect assessment of this entire fiasco. I wish them only the worst, both of them.

See? HOW is that worth his time? The IDIOT is shameless in his willingness to sell ANYTHING. He'd probably say you could have sex with his wife for 10K. Or less. Much, much less....

The price was a bottle of his cheap ass cabernet. That would have done the trick.

I'd have never thought it possible that I could like someone less than $tevie Nick$.

Mick is just embarrassing, he's such a shameless whore.

You want embarrassing, go see him hawking FM keychains at his restaurant. You have to pass through the store to go and eat.

OMFG.
That's priceless.

What's next? Mick will wipe your bum in the restroom of his restaurant, for $50? $100 if you want a pic!

I hope time remembers him for being the IDIOT that he is.

BTW, how much are the key chains? Does he sign it or something?

Ok, he doesn't actually sell key chains himself or key chains, (though they might I don't remember) but there is a bunch if knick knacky merch and you do walk past the store to get into the place. The place is actually nice and has a rooftop bar which is great with a band. Mick was there the night I went, so I've met Mick 3 times, the one member I could care less to meet. I've never bumped into the others living here 20 years in LA.

Too bad you didn't bump into him. With.your.car....hard.

:laugh:, omg, you make me laugh out loud!! :laugh:

This just in: You may not be aware, but LB bites his fingernails. Mick has been collecting the discarded bits all these years and for a limited time, if you purchase one of his meet and greets, he will throw in a LB fingernail. ACT NOW!

That old dirty whore would sell his Momma's panties.

So TRUE!
BTW since we were discussing Say You will (WTWCT), I went and listened to parts of a few tracks since I hadn't listened in years. I have to say the album aged very well. Some really good tracks which are better then I remembered. It could have been a great single album and SN was right as it should have been a single album. Destiny rules sounds great on headphones. I remember at the time thinking her voice sounded to deep on that song, now she sounds like a chipmunk in comparison to todays voice. :laugh:
