The Rolling Stone article said nothing until after the tour, which means 2015. That supports my theory that this album will be tied in with the 40th anniversary of FLEETWOOD MAC!

At face value, there's nothing in that statement to imply she's being obstinate about recording -- only that she hasn't yet committed to a time-frame (and probably whether she wants an outside producer for her songs. But that's just an assumption). There's also nothing to imply that she hasn't already sent Lindsey a few demos to listen to.

Finally, we don't even know that she hasn't been in the studio to visit. We're all just assuming she hasn't.

In fact, we (myself included) have all made a lot of assumptions, based on that one sentence from Lindsey.

Unnecessary. And Lindsey said it. I don't think I need to quote him again because as the post above me mentions, it's already been talked about plenty. You can go back and read it yourself.

Well....in fairness, Lindsey is a very calculated person when it comes to words. He speaks carefully and thinks about what he says. I feel like this quote from him was his way of saying "Stevie is noncommittal about recording" without actually saying it. I could be wrong, obviously, many think I and others who are skeptical of this album are in the wrong, and I hope we are.

It's all in the mincing of words.

It establishes that when Mick said most of the band would be recording in March, he meant it and we weren't reading too much into careless phrasing. Michele

Not within the band. She should be ashamed of all the bull about what a great band it is. She's basicly not in it.

While I agree in principal, I'm not mad about it. My guess is that Buckingham and McVie get into their zone and Stevie does not feel included in the arranging and woodshedding of instruments. They aren't ready for the vocals until later. Stevie tends to talk a lot of gibberish anyway. My guess is she's writing for this album and will bring the demos in when they're done with Christine's stuff. Then just like SYW, they'll Mac up the other songs, with Stevie.

Stevie Will Be There, She'll Have Her Songs, and She Will Sing Backup. She Doesn't Play An Instrument

I Agree With jbrownsjr

Stevie Will Be On The Album, Just Because She Is Not there the first Week Does Not Mean She Won't Be There At All

I've spent a lot of time in the studio. Unless you're producing, or being recorded you want to go work on your own stuff. That way when it's your turn, you know your s***. You can't be wasting time with 100 takes.

seanthompson · #**474** 03-28-2014, 07:22 PM

Of course, Stevie will be there. This is the final chapter of the Mac, be it two years, five years, etc. They all know this is the time to shine and honor their history together and, as Mick has said, end the band with dignity. They're all going to rock it out.

No one is saying she'll never be there. I don't think anyone expects that. But also it doesn't sound like a situation yet where they say "ok, Stevie, we're ready for you" and she strolls on into the studio. Just because she may not be needed right now doesn't mean that's the reason she's not there.

which may mean she's working around the schedule possibilities of whomever she wants producing her stuff. Let's just say she wants Dave S. Maybe he's booked for x,y,z projects of his own and his next block of time he could work with her is say, oh, July. Maybe she's trying to decide if she wants to wait for July with Dave, or find someone else who can start sooner, or if she wants to go with LB. I don't think she's "holding out" on the band.

Hawkeye · #**477** 03-28-2014, 08:38 PM

I personally almost rather NOT have an album before this tour! There I said it. If there was no Christine then I'd be feeling the exact opposite. I'd want a tour behind a new album only if it were the 4 again.

I want at least one tour tho where they don't have to worry about playing new songs while Chris is involved so we can get a bigger variety of their backlougue done. We've gotten a scent amount of rarities from Stevie and Lindsey the past 11 years. I want to increase the odds of getting think about me, isn't it midnight or even why performed.

And honestly for me, the prospect of a song like you make loving fun in the next set feel like a giant surprise song in my mind even tho it isnt in any way. What I'm saying is Christine's third of the set is enough of refresher in the set for a lot of us.

If there are new songs I'll want to hear them the most obviously, but I can't miss songs i don't know exist

so im fine witha tour in 2014 and an album in 2015, especially if that said album is already being recorded and can be out soon in 2015.

Calm Down! Christine McVie, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham are In A Studio Right Now Recording Something You Would All Die To Hear!

I don't understand why you have to capitalize everything.

On anther forum I frequent, there is a poster who puts everything she says in quotes.

With Fleetwood Mac going on tour later this year, there is ample time for a new release before touring.

Like many, I do not know what tracks are being recorded. I did notice four recent BMI repertoire entries for Stevie Nicks: "Melucine;" "I'm the Only One" co-written with David A. Stewart; "Dial the Number" co-written with Sandy Stewart; and "Goldfish and the Ladybug." Christine McVie also has two: "Rain in the Summertime" and "Wanna Be With You."
