Sure, they need a break after a long tour. Fine...don't spend the band's "break" doing your own stuff. Take a REAL BREAK.

Then once everybody is refreshed, get your asses in the studio & do a full-length album...make it the last one. Let Fleetwood Mac have it's big farewell album & tour...announce it ahead of time so we can all say goodbye instead of "oh, the tour's over, what's next for Fleetwood Mac?". No, one last album, even if it is a double, triple, whatever length, just do one last album, released with all the fanfare they can muster. Make every tour stop an EVENT, not just another concert in another town. Like the Stones...bring some guests up for a song in each town...bring the Little Big Town people up for a song; Lady Antebellum; Natalie Maines, Walter Egan. Stretch the shows an extra half-hour so you can play more tunes from earlier incarnatons. It's the last tour, make it extra-special. Crap, they've already lost Welch, Weston & Brunning...what's it gonna take? Yeah, we just saw what we thought was "the impossible" with Christine playing ONE SONG two consecutive nights. Ok, she wants to regain "the spirit of the music"...do the entire process, the final album, the final tour...then go back to your Shi-tzu's. PROVE YOUR LOVE...PROVE you'd "Do it all over again".

yeah yeah yeah whateva.

this is a LB solo forum so please do not be so surprised that many people actually prefer LB solo here. sorry, no FM, no compromises it seems to entail, no big bucks is what some of us prefer.

hm, like Stones did, with the cheapest ticket $600?! not every stop was an event, just a few really big ones. DC was the last stop if i recall correctly, and it was more regular run of the mill show. no special guests. for $600-$800 regular tickets and that's not the floor. no thank you.

Lady Antebellum? yet another reason for no more FM. you all keep spitting on EP, because it was too soft pop for you it seemed? how much softer that Lady A can you go? i can't listen to their songs when they come on at some award show, let alone pay big bucks to hear them with Mac!

you convinced me ChiliD. solo LB. final answer.
(as if i needed convincing )

although if CM would be open to contribute to the album, i might rethink - just to get that album out.
