What do you want from this band? - Page 2

WatchChain · #16 08-28-2016, 01:41 PM

I think, more than anything, I want one FINAL studio album of new material from all 5 members. Moreover, I want to the album to be a collaborative project with ALL 5 MEMBERS PRESENT in the studio for the entire length of the recording process (very much like the recording process for "Rumours" and "Tusk"). The album should be recorded with artistic merit by a producer that gets the FM sound. I also like the idea of bringing the "Rumours" team back together and having Ken Caillat & Richard Dashut co-produce the project. Artists like Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, and Bruce Springsteen have produced some of their BEST and most critically acclaimed work in their later years. Why can't The Mac do the same?

Of course, a lengthy tour would follow. Perhaps a farewell tour? I don't know.

Exactly! But it's never going to happen probably...

We are 11 months away from the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac. In those 50 years, we've only gotten 18 studio albums; and of those 18 albums, only ONE was released in the last 20 years. While I like the idea of an official farewell tour and concert video, those things would only be palatable to me if they were accompanied by a new studio album. These 5 musicians haven't been in a recording studio together in 30 years; I don't think it's too much to ask for one last album. Everything else would just be gravy.

Just to clarify the bolded statement

These 4 musicians and 1 singer haven't ALL been in a recording studio together in the last 30 years.

3 of them (Lindsey, Mick and John) recorded 8 songs together circa 2012
3 of them (Lindsey, Christine and Mick) recorded additional material in early 2014 following Christine's return. John was unable to attend due to illness/treatments I believe or perhaps he was just otherwise engaged.

Sorry to get pedantic but thought it was worth emphasising which members are contributing to and want a new studio album and which clearly don't.

You're forgetting Extended Play.

Andyleo · #22 08-29-2016, 04:41 AM

All of the music videos on DVD or at least on iTunes. Plus all of the above😬

**jbrownsjr** · #23 08-29-2016, 11:59 AM

All the Tusk Shows released.

AncientQueen · #24 08-30-2016, 01:39 PM

At this point, I want them to stop making contradicting statements about what they will be doing next. They should manage to just come together for a last time long enough to make a long overdue decision and then give a statement that they are finally done.

Stevie does not want to record with the band, John is ill, they are in their seventees or pushing it, time is running out for them.

As for FM, I'm all "They shoot horses, don't they?".

Too be hyper-pedantic, the five of them did get into the studio in 1997 to record the version of Bleed to love her that ended up on SYW. I'm not so sure about Steal your heart away. Wasn't that an earlier Lindsey solo with Mick and Chris on it that Stevie added backing vocals to during the SYW sessions? I'm not sure but I think John Pierce played bass on that track rather than John McVie.

So, I suppose one studio song in 20 years from the five of them..that's not so bad. What are we complaining about?

I would like a really good Last Album..
A tour to go with the last album.
And Buckingham Nicks to re-release their original Album.

All the other band I am a fan of have dead members or are retired since ever. They aren't obligated to work since they've already obtained the fame, money and recognition long ago. If they're still recording it's just because they really want to and if they don't I wouldn't be surprised.

So you're saying that they're just in it for the money? So much for being "artists". They are a damned OLDIES act. They might as well be Sha Na Na.

But, oh wait! Two of the three songwriters DO want to record new stuff, and HAVE recorded new stuff for a new album. But one selfish person doesn't want to join them...

The WORST thing that ever happened to FM's "artistry", was that old goat joining them! Package deal my ass! I'll bet Lindsey regrets that decision every day of his life!

Where did you get that? I said the complete opposite.

A new album.

Everything else is like icing on a cake.

But, given that a new album is probably not coming, I feel like they're saying "There's no cake, let them eat icing..."
