Fleetwood mac WILL record new album says stevie - Page 70

bombaysaffires · #**1036** 06-13-2016, 10:35 PM

so this video was posted in the Macnuggets thread. https://www.facebook.com/realmickfle...4035754952317/

It was posted by Mick 6 hours ago on FB. He's helping to sell a drum with a Rumours motif including the image of him and Stevie on the album cover inlaid in the drum.

But the more interesting part is he talks about making the drum part of his drum kit when FM gets back together to work... A YEAR FROM NOW. He doesn't say if that'll be recording or touring, though it sorta sounds to me like touring.

To quote:

"I have visions...uh, about...actually about a year from now we'll be back at work.. with Fleetwood Mac... and I fully expect this uh, this lovely creature [the drum] to be, uh, doing what it will, uh, do best, which is to be part of my drum kit"

Erm, it appears that my other thread has been merged with this one. I don't want this thread to die, I wanted the other one to disappear, which it effectively has now. Except now, the post that you've just quoted makes no sense any more.

Can we ignore that and go on talking about the new album.

So, no action on the album front likely for another year it seems.

Mick does not talk about an album here, just "fantasies" about the band getting back to work.

A tour.

Yep. World Tour 2017, baby.

I can hear the logic now (from accountants, managers, etc):
"You have a much more limited window of time to tour before you're all too old. So tour while you can. Everyone knows the money's in touring anyway, so you should rake in the bucks while you can. You can always record until you're 90. And you're not gonna have #1s anymore anyway, so you'd just be recording for legacy reasons-- there'd be no real money in it. Makes more sense for you to tour and make money then you can retire from touring and record all you want til you croak".

I have no issues with them wanting to make money in a general sense, but at some point, you gotta say listen, if Stevie is just sooo tired from big long tours back to back which went longer coz Christine came back, and that makes her too tired to record and too burnt out and she needs a long vacation (all of which she's said in interviews).....why the eff would you blow off recording (where you can take as long as you like, still live at home and not hotels, see your pals, etc etc) but plan for yet another exhausting tour with people who annoy you?? Is money that critical to you still????

Someone recently recommended Paul Stanley of Kiss' autobiography as a decent read. I read through it on my e-reader on a recent flight. At one point he talks about the difference between him and Gene Simmons-- saying that he now considers not just the money but all the tradeoffs required to get the money when they are offered things. He weighs the tradeoff in time away from home (he has small kids) against the money and has ended up turning down touring etc because of it. Simmons however is always blown away that he will turn down chances to make money no matter what. Stanley's response to that is, Sometimes what I have to do to get that money isn't worth what I have to give up. There are things more important to me at this point in my life than money.

Clearly as much as Stevie gripes about the long touring, and the toll it takes on her, she still puts that second to the almighty buck. If there was more money to be made in recording and they were still able to get #1s, then I bet she'd be more willing to record.

But I truly think Stevie craves the attention as much as she does the money.

totally agree.

She's very competitive. At least with touring they get bragging rights from being on "top ten grossing bands" lists and sell out shows and get lots of media coverage.

That's why I think if recording got them #1 albums or singles, aside from the money, there would be bragging rights and she'd be more interested.

Artistic legacy stuff isn't big and splashy and she's not as interested. As opposed to LB.

You think??? And then some of her fans. Look at how some folks got upset when the media hailed Christine's return. They got down right defensive when Christine got any attention. Good lord, how dare they attribute any of the success to Christine.

Yep. Not a single mention of the new music that almost was. Or never almost was.

Nothing "profound" about this new chapter at all. Just more of the same greed and fear.

I see the Monkees has a new album out.

Heres their new song.

Did you notice on that Vin Scully gala announcement that their names were listed in alphabetical order? I guess that's the diplomatic way to do it. But it amused me.

I have no doubt that their new album would debut at #1 but I just don't think they're too bothered about releasing it which is a real shame for the fans. I have recently started listening to Say You Will just to get my Mac fix and as fantastic as it is, it just isn't enough to last me another year. I'm scared that people will get bored and they'll lose the younger fans.

Well, I think fans of the other four appreciate the contribution of them all.

IMHO, ~most~ (not ALL!) of Stevie's fans have blinders on, and think the sun rises and sets in her arse. So compliments for anyone else(especially the other woman) ticks them off to no end.

Christine is the heart and soul of FM. Always has been, always will be!
