I wonder if when Stevie said that, Chris said she loved to hear John's bass thumping and Mick playing drums again, and John told Bob BTM was better than Tango, all those phrase were a message to Lindsey while they were upset with him because of the way he left the band, kind of... "see, we didn't you".

IMHO, history did not confirm some of those phrases. But I understand their angry at that moment.
I do not believe Stevie meant it but was a way to promote the album and say "we are fine without Lindsey." Chris praised the album too during release but 30 years later called it suicide music. Half the album is really good. The other half meh with a few bad apples. It needed some good and powerful Stevie songs. Hey, it went to #1 in the UK and Greece.
Because Stevie was sick their 1988 Australian tour was cancelled. The band promised to make it up to Australia next time. They did. They started their BTM tour in Australia and Japan. Sadly when they got to the states Save Me was already falling out of the top 40 after barely creeping in. By the time they got to the States to tour the album was already tanking on the charts. Then Chris's dad died and everything had to be rescheduled.
