Rumours of Lindsey leaving the band? - Page 24

AnthonyMI · #**346** 04-09-2018, 02:52 PM

Seems the Mike thing was to appease Stevie and get someone she would like. She always wanted to be a Heartbreaker.

And they hired this other guy Neil to sing the Lindsey parts. Lets face it. Lindsey has lost most his range. Basically they are pulling a 1987 all over again. And that was a Bigly impressive and successful tour. Only that time they had a HOT hit album to tour and back up. This time it literally is another Greatest Hits Oldies Overpriced Discont County Fair tour. :-/

I’m so mad at stevie I could puke. This is her fault.

Beyond disgusting
I have no interest in them anymore. I am probably leaving this board since I could care less to phony people who betray their fans

I have nothing constructive to say, just wanted to add my voice to the growing chorus. I won't support this band any longer. I've no interest in paying exorbitant amounts of money to watch the world revolve around Stevie Nicks, which is exactly what the upcoming tour will be.

I can't even say I'm disheartened or sad. It's more like a gnawing rage inside me that these people care so little for their fans, and think so little of us that they believe they can spin this in a positive light.

Lindsey only ever tried to salvage this band as viable creative force instead of letting it languish as the cash cow Stevie and Mick treat it as. All Fleetwood Mac is good for in their eyes is $$$. It's disgusting.

I'll love Christine forever, but it comes to light that she didn't actively fight this, she gets no pass from me.

Yup.

Will be interested to see what they're charging for this mess...

This is what we are going to be getting. I like Neil Finn, but he's rather too bland for Fleetwood Mac.

This really hurts. Although I think each of the Rumours Five brings something to the group, for me, Lindsey has been the life and creative force in recent years.

I wish them all the best, but am unlikely to want tickets for the new group of performers without LB.

I'm stunned and sickened beyond words. Neil Finn is one of my all-time favorite songwriters and IN THEORY I should enjoy this, but I'll never know cause this band isn't getting a freaking dime from me.

What a disgrace.

I shudder at the thought the "icon" is going to bleat and croak harmonies on Don't Dream It's Over and Something So Strong. And indeed he doesn't sound nearly as energetic as Lindsey on guitar.

Quick little “what if”

What if this was. “#MeToo” phenomena related thing?

Think about it. It’s well known that Stevie blamed LB for forcing her to take her clothes off for Buckingham Nicks and that he Put Hands on her Neck in 1987. And who knows what else. I’m sure she blames him for sexually taking advantage of her or some kind of assault in 1997 after leading her on and not marrying her. And in her mind I bet she seems him trying to tell her what tense to use as being oppressive and asserting being a Man over her SOOO helpless woman-ness. I bet that Stevie, ever never able to let things go OR accept ANY blame for her poor life choices or terrible taste in men orFORGIVE the man that helped her achieve her success, who puts up with her BS year after year.....

.... I bet she pulled out that MeToo card on Mick and played it for all it’s worth “Kick out Linsdey or I’m gonnna MeToo the heck out of him and RUIN Fleetwood Mac”. I can totally see the selfish Miss Havishan princess Old Bag do it.

I don't understand the creativity part if you are adding new members and offering no new music. They should have billed those "Classic" East/West concerts as Fleetwood Mac's final shows and leave the legacy intact. I didn't care much for them bringing Hary Styles on stage with them either.
At this point I can't imagine there will be new music, nor do I care. The return of Christine should have been billed as a reunion and farewell tour, and they could all pursue solo endeavours and John McVie could rest, sail, retire or simply enjoy life.

Still in a state of shock all the rumors were true. So very sad.

Thank you, button-lip. It's my English reserve...

I will play Never Going Back Again tonight on my guitar with a heavy heart and a tear. To think that I have been to my last Fleetwood Mac concert...

Another quotation comes to mind:

We shook hands and I started away. Just before I reached the hedge I remembered something and turned around.

"They're a rotten crowd," I shouted across the lawn. "You're worth the whole damn bunch put together."

From the Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Love and respect to Lindsey.

Ha! High praise, indeed.

I hate to make this all about ME, ME, ME, but I guess I'll take a page out of Stevie's book and do it anyway. What really upsets me is that this more than likely has killed any chance for BuckVie part 2. I had to miss out on seeing them at the very last minute due to a family emergency. But I comforted myself with the knowledge that Lindsey and Chris were speaking so positively about the future and other projects down the line. Now that's all dashed.

And for what it's worth, I actually love Neil Finn and Crowded House. But this is not the right move for him. I wonder if he has any idea of the sh*tstorm he just joined.
