You should be ashamed of yourself, you pathetic gutless man. Grow up.

I really want another CM/LB record but she is hitching her wagon to this train wreck of a band. She’s 75. How many more years does she have to record the new songs she wants to write and sing? Instead of saying “I already have enough $ and want the last phase of my career to be vibrant and creative” she is opting for more money.

Well, she should have stayed on Lindsey's side if she wanted to release more new music.

No, he is not. But I'm sure Old Goat Breath will post something to let her pathetic fans know as soon as it happens.

That if she doesn't die first from biting her own tongue.

My thoughts exactly. She boarded the wrong boat for that.

Well I thought that was funny Phil....just balanced up the scales a little bit.
Not about being dead, yet, that’s a bit too far..

If Stevie can be called all names,so can Lindsey.....or Christine or Mick.

THIS! Her cynical side is showing. I'm sorry for her fans but yes, she's in way worst than Stevie. And that's saying A LOT!

I don't even have the words for that Christine interview. Sounds like Stevie and Mick have gotten a hold of her ear. Or as freakin spineless as it is, she's doing exactly what she is told. Azof is looming over this band now...She's got to keep it civil until September. Surely a warning was given when Lindsey let it slip that she reached out to him...

So much of their behavior isn't new, it's trickled in at different points in time and true colors have been revealed before. This is just one really terrible culmination of all of it coming together at once and they really look like a group of rotten sh*ts at this point with no regard or respect.

It's so incredibly crushing to invest so much of your life to enjoying this band, the music they made together, and the overall belief that there were some deep waters that held them together, that at the end of the day they really cared about one another and VALUED all the the progress they made post 1997. To see it all crumble is heartbreaking.

Yes, we will always have the music. However it will be forever changed when so many can no longer respect those who made that music we all loved so much. A loss of perspective is an understatement. This is a group of folks in their 70s still pulling the same drug fueled irrationality of their youth. Egos, adoration, and money have replaced the booze, sex, and cocaine. As much of a gift Christine's return was, it ultimately upset the power equilibrium within the band in a way that we'll never fully understand.

We thought they came out the other side as better people, that turned out to be false for the majority of them.

Sad.

Christine ruined everything with her return. And yes, on the other end of this mess, there's us, the group of fans who no longer believe in them and are highly dissapointed and sad everything has come to an end this way.

Your right about the return of Christine ...that opened up a whole new load of crap...especially from Stevie.
Who, at first, welcomed Christine and then definitely didn’t....so she split Christine and Lindsey up.

Death wishes and name calling are not the same. Not even remotely.

It only shows the true colors of Stevie's fans. But again I wouldn't be surprised if that's Stevie's main goal. To make him die.

I agree 100%. I have never wished Stevie, or anyone, to be dead, and certainly would never even jokingly put it in writing. I was one of her biggest fans, loved her like crazy. But first and foremost, I was an ENORMOUS fan of FM. So anyone breaking up the band is not cool in my books. And that happens to be SN, MF, and now...much to my surprise CM. We keep forgetting that John was the only one to respond to Lindsey's emails initially, to tell him that he couldn't engage with him. Now, I don't even trust John, to tell you the truth.

But Phil, that comment was in bad taste, shows a lack of empathy, shows immaturity and general poor judgement. The man had a major heart health event, that's serious. Grow up man. Always act as if your kids are watching (if you are old enough to have any), and remember to consider that karma's a b***h.

yep. and to think this is from the guy who has responded in the Stevie forum w the likes of "Not the cleverest of responses but I wasn't expecting otherwise." .. yeah man, your middle school shock joke about Lindsey dying was so clever..
But then again, many of Stevie's hardcore fans are probably just like her.. arrogant enough to think they are the sharpest tool in the shed when in fact they're immature and embarrassingly lacking in wit or grace.

Phil's comment was horrible! Get help, Phil.

One thing $tevie's fans have in common, is how they believe $he can do no wrong, and her $h1t doesn't stink. $he smells like goat turds to me.

What happens when Fleetwood Mac says bye-bye Buckingham?
By Mary Colurso | [email protected]

Fact: It takes two people to replace Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac.

Opinion: Neil Finn of Crowded House and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did a fine job of it on Wednesday night at the BJCC’s Legacy Arena in Birmingham.

Confession: It’s difficult to evaluate the current incarnation of Fleetwood Mac without taking note of Buckingham’s absence. He made an indelible mark on the classic rock band during its heyday in the 1970s and ’80s, defining much of the music as a guitarist, songwriter and singer. That’s not to diminish the contributions of the other band members -- Fleetwood Mac made its fame as a complex and multi-faceted piece of machinery -- but to say that Buckingham mattered. He definitely mattered.

Now that Buckingham is absent from the roster -- he was fired by the other band members, filed a lawsuit, settled it and recently underwent emergency heart surgery -- Fleetwood Mac is a less thorny outfit. That can be regarded as a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. Creative tension fueled the band at its peak, and Buckingham was a key instigator of it.

At Wednesday’s performance, the four remaining principals -- singer Stevie Nicks, singer and keyboard player Christine McVie, bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood -- collaborated on stage in a polished, congenial, ultra-professional way. Nostalgia ran high during their 8:15 p.m. set, which featured 22 songs and lasted for more than two hours.

Fleetwood Mac played many of the vintage tunes fans know and love: “Rhiannon,” “Say You Love Me,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Gold Dust Woman,” “Second Hand News,” “Landslide,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop,” “Hold Me” and more.

Finn, who handled Buckingham’s vocals, and Campbell, who took over Buckingham’s guitar work, performed with self-effacing skill, fitting into the band without any fuss and using their substantial talents to serve the music.

Nicks sang with throaty charisma and engaged in her trademark twirls. Christine McVie was a welcome presence on stage, and if her voice -- which used to ring with bell-like clarity -- seemed more fragile than in years past, she remains a charming performer. John McVie put his head down, finessed the bass and anchored the overall sound. Fleetwood pounded the drum kit with non-stop energy and indulged in a showboat solo.

All well and good.

But this highly pleasurable edition of Fleetwood Mac is, well, a less interesting edition of Fleetwood Mac. Something intangible is missing in the band chemistry -- a spikiness, a sharpness, an unpredictability, a push-and-pull -- and that, it appears, was Buckingham’s specialty.

Perhaps, as Fleetwood Mac commemorates its 50-year history in the music world, a majority of the core group wanted a smooth ride on this tour, leaving any messy emotions behind.

And from all appearances, the full house at the BJCC didn’t seem to mind. Folks who appreciate a milder Mac attack could find plenty to enjoy during the show, and a feel-good vibe prevailed.

Grace note: As expected, Nicks reminisced about a 1975 concert in Birmingham, when she and Buckingham performed at Municipal Auditorium (now called Boutwell Auditorium) to promote their self-titled debut album, “Buckingham Nicks.”

Thanks to airplay on a local radio station, the record was wholeheartedly embraced here, and Birmingham was one of a few cities where fans turned out in force for the duo. Buckingham and Nicks, who were shortly to join Fleetwood Mac, have said the Birmingham concert provided their first taste of stardom.

“Little did we know that somewhere in this town that record was simmering,” Nicks said at the BJCC. “I think it’s important for you to know that this city hooked on to that music that became Fleetwood Mac. This song is dedicated to you, straight up, to Birmingham, Alabama. It’s called ‘Landslide.’"

Nicks also used the opportunity to send a get-well wish to Buckingham, saying the band’s thoughts were with him during his recovery. “I know he’s going to get better,” Nicks said.

Setlist:

“The Chain”
“Little Lies”
“Dreams”
“Second Hand News”
“Say You Love Me”
“Black Magic Woman”
“Everywhere”
“Rhiannon”
“Tell Me All the Things You Do”
“World Turning” (with Mick Fleetwood drum solo)
“Gypsy”
“Oh Well”
“Don’t Dream It’s Over” (Crowded House cover)
“Landslide”
“Hold Me”
“Monday Morning”
“You Make Loving Fun”
“Gold Dust Woman”
“Go Your Own Way”
Encores:

“Free Fallin'” (Tom Petty cover)
“Don’t Stop”
“All Over Again”
