Default Official Website

Fleetwoodmac.com is still displaying the "new website coming soon" page. Does anyone know what the hold-up is?

There are also typo(s) on the bottom of the page: "For tour information coming soon. Keep checking back here for the latest tour info."

They should at least go in and fix that last part!

Pretty sad isn't it? Band like Fleetwood Mac with their history - and they don't even have a spot on the web officially. I'm not even sure who's responsible for such a thing - would it be the Management? Or the record company? If it's the record co., then I would almost understand it - they've likely got skeleton staff working for them now...But if it's Management, then Azoff and his buddies should get off their asses already. That "coming soon" thing has been up their for a couple of years now.

I was thinking that they figure that a certain percentage of their fans could care less about the website... I don't know. Either way, I am with you on this being SAD!!! No matter if it is the management, or the record company- Fleetwood Mac could say, "THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!" - "SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS SITE!" Hey, even Taylor Dayne keeps her website up and running. Micheal McDonald even has a website!!! EVEN MICHEAL McDONALD, for crying out loud!!! Dear Fleetwood Mac, either you fix it, or have someone fix it! LOL I am sure Lindsey doesn't know, or is throwing a fit. He knows the importance of maintaing a website. His rocks. I thought that Stevie's was cool, but Lindsey definitely has the better site... (He's finally better than Stevie at something!!! HAHAHA Just kidding! Only joking!) HEY- side note: I just found out that their sit eis maintained by a publicity management group... So, I am thinking we can thank the promoters for their "hard work" on the .com website. I am just happy i got fleetwoodmac.net... That's all I really need.

Don't you know Fleetwood Mac is far too busy rehearsing the same songs they've been doing for the past 30 years to have any time whatsoever to even think about their website.

The Internet just isn't their thing.

I haven't looked at the site in awhile, just looked now and at least it's been updated with the additional tour dates that were added up to May 31st. For the longest time, there was no mention of them... So someone is sort of on top of it.

Probably. And probably internet is not their best skill, but it would be easy to hire anybody to update and put far better pages.

If they hire me, I'd do it in ONE SECOND. I would just redirect www.fleetwoodmac.com to www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin and the band gets the best offical website ever!!!!

And I´m still waiting for mails, since I joined the official mail list at fleetwoodmac.com. How innocent I am!!

When I was first browsing around I thought that this was the official site...

Anyway if it's been two years like someone said, they clearly don't seem to care about having a website, which is a big mistake in my opinion.
