I think the misconception here is that Interscope is so very different from Warners. The two aren't even comparable.
Warner Music Group is massive. There are 4 major record labels (Warner, Universal, Sony/BMG, and EMI) -- and Interscope is owned by Universal. It could never really give Fleetwood Mac the kind of comeback promotion it needed and the funds by which to do it. I still think the Jimmy Iovine connection is a little weird.
Fleetwood Mac, being the band that they are, really can't go independent. They wouldn't sell and they'd lose a lot of money. They're way too far into the game to go back.
