I remember Christine making the (valid) point that producing "Behind the Mask" was a refreshing change (I'm paraphrasing here) from the older Fleetwood Mac albums because so much of it was tracked live, & months weren't spent on all the picky minutiae.
She was probably ambivalent about all that, however, because I think she really admired the way Lindsey created albums.
Plus, I think all the older members of the band were excited about having two guitarists (& an extra voice) for the live situation. It definitely opens up possibilities after having been a quartet for so long.
In that press conference in question, Lindsey strikes me as nervous & uncomfortable, which in turn makes the others seem as if they were walking on a few eggshells. Had I been Lindsey, I would not want to have participated in such a press conference -- it was, after all, a Fleetwood Mac event & Lindsey was not a member of Fleetwood Mac & was really trying to forge an identity away from that machine. In addition, he was still feeling a little burned by The Book -- apologies may have been made at that point but apparently hadn't totally sunk in.
