I knew it!
 

Stevie's hosin' up the works here...

In an interview with the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph (8/9/07), Nicks noted that she is unwilling to carry on with the band unless Christine McVie returns.

I'm puzzled, since this has been brought up here on The Ledge before:

Did you miss these posts? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

whatever.:shrug::shrug:

Christine won't carry on so if there will be a FM, it'll be a threepiece rockoutfit. Who's complaining? :laugh:

Yeah I remember saying that months ago that Stevie was holding up the Fleetwood Mac thing...that she didnt wanna do it anymore. Someone said "whatever" and I was kinda like ok well...and then i just read that little blurb. So yeah I did miss those posts I reckon.

Yeah but I dont see Lindsey doing it without Stevie. Maybe a Lindsey/Christine lineup? I find it really strange that the collective 4-some cant convince Christine to do a final album/tour.

More like who'll notice :wavey::wavey:

I bet Mick and John are already brushing up on their 15-minute blues jams. ;) :p

There will be advantages... Those who will be interested enough to go to see them wouldn't have problems to get seats in the first rows. ;)

Romy

ouch :laugh:


omg :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

So, are y'all really going to be surprised when Stevie and Lindsey do another Mac tour??

:laugh::cool: good one. Besides, isn't this totally old news anyway.:shrug:

Well if Stevie really doesnt want to do it, then I'd rather her not. If she's not into it, then her performances will be more lackluster than they were on the SYW tour.

No. I think it's inevitable.

You must not have seen any of the early SYW shows then! Stevie was very much on fire and rocking! I saw FM 3 times that tour... Greenville, South Carolina; Greensboro, North Carolina; and my hometown... Charlotte, North Carolina. I admit with every time I saw the band, the more "phoned in" and robotic Stevie's performances got. The show in Greenville blew my socks off though. It was one of their first 10 shows on the tour, and they rocked harder than I've ever heard them. Stevie hit the higher notes and twirled her ass off. Just think of it this way... almost every night for a year and a half they had to play the same songs... the same main songs they've been playing for the past 30 years. I can't say I blame Stevie for losing her "oomph" towards the end.

Regarding another Mac reunion: in my opinion, they absolutely will get together again in some form or fashion. A studio album with the Rumours 5 is possible, but not terribly likely. They just don't make that much money off albums, and Stevie says she won't record again without Christine. They make all their money off touring, but Christine says she won't tour again. So the options are this:

1) a final Rumours 5 album
2) a final tour with John, Stevie, Lindsey, and Mick

They aren't going to do anything without Stevie, that's been a proven way for them to fail miserably. So does all of this open up the gates for an ORIGINAL Fleetwood Mac outing with Peter Green? Nope, that won't bring in the bucks that Stevie brings. We've gotta face it, this band is no longer about art... it's about money, past debt, supporting the various members spouses and children, etc.

Eh.... No.
