Uncropped

these were great, thanks so much for posting! I love to hear Stevie talk about the behind the scenes stuff about the photo shoots, etc. Very interesting about the Rolling Stone cover. I think that was pretty ****ty of RS to crop everyone else out, being that the words "Fleetwood Mac" were on the front of the cover, not "Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood". I don't blame the band for being pissed off, even though it wasn't Stevie and Mick's fault. But, being that this is a Stevie story, I can't help think that there may be just a BIT more to the story, ya know?

I also love Stevie's take on her wardrobe. She speaks about her various outfits/looks through the years with such reverence, she almost sounds like she's a fan herself, the way she speaks as if she's looking at herself. I suppose she's always had this ability, especially in her writing. I think in many of her songs, she's talking about herself and her life in the third person. She does the same thing in interviews. It was cool to hear about how she came to purchase the infamous top hat. I don't know, just hearing that she bought it in a antique store with Christine just makes it all the more magical. That's just how you would expect Stevie to find that hat...in a dusty antique store somewhere with the elegant Christine McVie telling her she needs to own that hat!

Yeah, quite frankly, I don't think I would have even participated in that pose sitting on the floor at their feet. I know a Rolling Stone cover and story is very important publicity, but at what price glory? As one of the other 3, I would have just refused to do that pose.

Yes, I remember Cory describing how Stevie was showing her her old capes and costumes and telling her to try them on. Cory was scared to do so. She didn't want to damage anything. Stevie described each item she had worn and when. It was almost as if Stevie was taking Cory through a museum. The thing is, I think Cory said Stevie had many of her old pieces with her on the road during SYW, even the ones she could no longer fit into. So, it sounds like Stevie is traveling history.

I agree. That pose is so symbolic, considering the star status of Stevie within the band. It must have pissed them off, none of the three look real happy. And then to have them cropped out is like salt in the wound. Ouch!

I love both of thoes interviews! Thanks for posting them. It sucks that they cut out Chris, John & Lindsey on the RS cover!! That's just wrong.

I read that Annie Leibovitz has to repay a $24 million dollar loan by tomorrow or the bank would lay claim to all of her copyrighted work. I'm sure much of her stuff would go up for sale, to reap swift royalties.

It made me wonder what unseen FM shots she might have in her collection.

Wow! She's underwater, as they say.

Yeah, here's the article: http://www.baynews9.com/content/87/2...+Leibovitz++++

John and Christine never looked so glamorous in their lives, what a stunning out-take that photo is. I also think it is absolutely striking of Lindsey, who looks all of 21, maybe, in it. I'd never cared much for that RS cover, I didn't think it did Stevie much justice at all. But dang, Lindsey and Christine and John look gorgeous (well, I mean, for John). I think this photo belongs on a cover of something now, be it re-release of a cd, dvd, or even a book. Really, really nice shot.

Nikolaj · #27 09-08-2009, 06:17 AM

Never mind.
PS- DAMN Lindsey looks sexy there! He probably knew it, no wonder he didn't speak to Stevie for 2 weeks

trackaghost · #28 09-08-2009, 06:50 AM

Well, technically it's not an outtake, the full shot was used (as a full page) in the magazine next to the article. I agree the rest of the band look great in it though. I've always thought it was a weird shot, not just because of the awful pose, but Stevie just looks so uncomfortable. It's not the most flattering photo of her I think.

I had a subscription to Rolling Stone at that time and I remember pulling it out of my mailbox and being blown away by this cover. It was on my wall for many, many years. It's not an insult to the rest of the band. After all it was Mick and Stevie on the cover of Rumours and not the rest of the band. I just think Rolling Stone Magazine wanted to portray that view to the world.
I do remember thinking that Stevies' boob must have hurt her, being squished into Mick's shoulder like that, so in that sense Sharon I'd agree with you.

I totally agree. The three of them look incredible (And Lindsey is beyond hot!!!). However, I think it's one of Stevie's worst photos ever. Her uneasiness about the whole shoot is written all over her face. She would have done better to not smile at all, instead of that forced, completely nerved out smile. I don't like her outfit either.
