It's apples and oranges between Clapton and Green. I can't believe you don't see that Peter has a history of freaking out whenever there's a lot of pressure on him. If there was a reunion of the original Mac, there would be much more pressure on Peter. He'd be the guy in charge. That's why the Splinter Group worked. Sure, he was the star of the band, but Nigel took a lot of pressure off of Peter in terms of guitar playing and in terms of the overall direction of the band. Peter didn't make the decisions in that band. He was much more sheltered in the Splinter Group than he would be in Fleetwood Mac. So, another lead guitarist would probably be in order, given Peter's history. And, I think the other guitarist should be dependable, and Rick has a proven track record.
