Now we know why.....
 

Remember the Fleetwood Mac Sirius-XM channel several months ago? Most of us pointed out solo Lindsey Buckingham music was not being played.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Maybe an oversight we thought? Some of us could not dare believe the band would be so petty to purposely make sure Lindsey's solo music was not played. Hard to believe.
Now we learn the band wont acknowledge Lindsey even via email. Its almost as if he did not exist. Which now makes sense why the Lindsey ban was on the channel.
Its so childish even for Fleetwood Mac.

You smirk at me and I will throw you out of this band, prevent all others from ever speaking to you again, and make sure your music is never heard on our channel.

Was solo music from anyone else who was a former member played at that time?

Yes, Stevie's, Chris' and even John had a play or two from his solo album, IIRC.

Can't remember if any of Mick's solo was played...............

Yes, but those were current members. I meant, was there any solo music from FORMER members played at the time. (Bob, Peter, Lindsey etc....) If not, then that would explain it.

Oh, I see what you are saying. Sorry. I'm trying to remember if Peter, Bob, etc were played. I want to say yes, but I'm not 100 % sure.

You could ck one of the threads that talk about the music station when it came out on Sirius. People were listing interesting tracks at that time.

I personally did not hear anything solo from anyone who wasn't with the band anymore, but of course I didn't listen 24/7. I just think a simple explanation makes sense.

How utterly myopic of you.

So you can't appreciate Peter or Bob's music?

Maybe you should admit that you're really just a $tevie fan? :laugh:

Umm, what? Not sure how you could possibly draw this conclusion from what I said. :shocked: All I pointed out was if they didn't play solo work from anyone who was no longer a current member of the band it would explain why they wouldn't have played any Lindsey solo work. I LOVE Bob's music. Little bit less of a fan of Peter's time in the band, but not unappreciative by any means.

You said you didn't want to hear anything from anyone who wasn't in the band anymore.

Fire up the Crowded House and Petty!:blob2:

I think I need to add more context so my post is clearer. Several months ago when the channel was on, it played all kinds of Mac music including lots of Stevie solo and Christine solo. They even played Billy Burnette from BTM. I think Mick's solo "I want you back" was also played. A recurring comment was no one heard anything from Lindsey's solo career. Lots of speculation of oversight or comparison to former member's solo stuff not being played.
They really moved fast in making sure Lindsey was a former member.

Well I'm certain of that. I guess $he showed him who the boss was.

No...I did not and I have enough faith in your ability to have read and comprehended this thread to know you know that as well. At this point I think you are just trying to start something with me to amuse yourself.

I don't know, I guess I just wasn't surprised. The news had broken already and with not hearing anything solo from anyone else no longer with the band, it didn't seem unusual to me. Yes, if there had been a lot of former member's outside work featured but not his, I would have thought it would have been odd too. But that didn't seem to be an issue.

Toward the end of the stations run they did start including Lindsey's commentary on various tracks, but it was weird that they waited until week 4 of 4 to do so.

Your first sentence here is extremely hard to comprehend. You might want to work on that?:laugh:

You were spot on, Feather Blade- the station only played solo songs by people who were currently in the band, which would have been Stevie, Christine, Neil, Mick, Mike, and John. The station did not play solo songs by former members, such as Lindsey, Billy, Rick, Bob, etc. And this was noted several times in threads back when the station was airing, and it was also noted then that Library's firing was probably why the station was delayed, because they had to record Neil and Mike's interviews.

I heard him speak way earlier then that. Halfway through the first week.


And this defense of they didn’t play anything solo from those not in the band is a terrible technicality for people here to be clinging to. It was a shi**y move towards Lindsey, period end of story. I’m just glad they didn’t take it a step further and remove any Lindsey songs that weren’t major hits.

The “support the current band” group of Ledgies which I’m obviously one of, need to have the ability to think logically too and not be sheep or it hurts
Our credibility.

OH PLEASE! We know exactly what happened. The order came directly from Nasal One Note herself. NO LINDSEY SOLO. She's a vindictive old goat.

I only heard Stevie, Christine, and John solo. They didn’t play Zoo, Buckingham Nicks, Bluesbreakers, solo Bob Welch, Billy Burnette (who WAS getting played on Outlaw Country at the time) or Split Enz/CH/Finn. TPATH were on, but would have been anyway. Lindsey’s bumpers were on after the first week. I thought Lindsey got the shaft, but so did Neil.

Neil who barely had played a note with them, or had never been on stage with them or recorded with them? Got the shaft????? I don't think so.

Right. And Bob Welch was getting played on Channel 27 (heard ebony eyes oncce during that timeframe) but the difference is they probably were compiling their playlists well in advance and if they were already interviewing Lindsey, that means the station idea became a thing when he was on the band. So his solo songs would clearly have had to have been initially in the playlist and had to be removed At some point.

And Neil not being played isn’t in the same thing. I don’t consider him even being in the band until they played their first show together. Now he has product with the band (I consider their live performances product essentially, especially in this new age, we theoretically get poorer quality live albums after every show)

So if the station premiered in November if be ok with considering Neil shafted.

Yeah. Why exclude an official member? What would have been better, actually hearing Split Enz/CH songs or listening to his bumpers?

Library's firing is a hilarious typo. I wish Sirius would have kept that channel.
