I finally finished the book. A nice read but it seemed so brushed over with absolutely no controversy what so ever. No conflict either. But even without that, I would have loved to have read how the group re-grouped after Lindsey's departure. His first book is so much better with intimate details. Mick does not even mention where Rick Vito came from or why he was hired. He just says... something like....Billy played with me in the Zoo and worked with Chris so he was a good fit and Rick was known as a great guitarist. I am paraphrasing of course but that is all that goes into his explanation how 2 new members got to be with the Mac.
Nothing about working on Chris's solo album, Stevie's solo album and what that was like or even appearing in Lindsey's 1981 video. Nothing about his conflict with Stevie in 1991 or why he refused to give her Silver Springs. Nothing about Bob Welch and the lawsuit against him. Hardly anything about Behind the Mask or its tour. Nothing about Stevie and her Klonopin use. Nothing about Lindsey going after Mick about the "piggy in the middle" video. And also some inconsistency. In his first book Mick writes how he hated the short Mirage tour and wanted to stay on the road and just as the tour ended Mirage fell from its #1 position. This new book Mick says he was glad the tour was short so everyone could work on their solo albums.
I don't want to come off like I am knocking the book. There are definitely some things mentioned in this book that were not mentioned in the first book. But I will stick with my original thread title......I like Mick's first book a lot better
