The rest of the band is excited about performing, are truly enjoying their fame and creativity and unity for the first time, and Stevie just seems damn intent on being miserable and whiney. What ISN'T there to rail about?

Well let us not forget we are talking about a band that has, in the last THIRTY years, released albums of all new material in 1979, 1982, 1987, 1990, 1994, and 2003. It's not like they have always churned out tons of new material. Six albums over thirty years when there have been two or more songwriters in the band....not anything spectacular!
Plus, it's not like Lindsey is some recording maniac either. Oh, so recently he's been on a tear, but for how many years did he "plan" to release an album but never did for one reason or another.
My point is, I woudl say they all have some blame as to why they haven't recorded new music. I have a strong feeling all of them were turned off of the process during the Say You Will era. Maybe they don't feel like spending the time and money to record something that, IN THEIR OPINION, won't be well received by their fans.
