You get to make TWO rules that the band MUST follow.

[darklinensuit]

What are they?

(Just to make this difficult, please list only two, plus one runner-up.)

Mine:
1) You must not perform the same set (or wear the same clothes!) two shows in a row, and neglected songs (and new looks) should be showcased more.
2) You must develop a fan club that supports the fans who support you.
Runner-up: You must release an album (or leak demos, or send Stevie to my place with new material) every 1-3 years.

1) The same lineup cannot release more than two albums consecutively

2) The set must include one song from each album (taken from Major League Baseball's All-Star game rule that there must be one player represented from each team)

runner up: Just as Playboy magazine tries to hide its rabbit logo on every cover, the penguin MUST appear in ever increasingly difficult to find places on every album cover.

[LilyRose]

1) Band members must continue to have affairs within the band. This includes back-up singers/musicians.

2) Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are never to allow Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham to leave the band ever again.

Runner up: Stevie must wear another color other than black at least every other night.

Jake, I like your first rule about setlists and wardrobe.

Here are mine:
1)Stevie, Mick, and John cannot appear on the same album together unless Lindsey is also on it (and not just with a guest appearance)
2)Drop either Dreams or Rhiannon from the setlist permanently.

1. Fire SN & LB and get replacements (I'd look forward to their solo stuff though ).

2. Once a member leaves the band, they cannot return under any circumstances no matter who they are.

JMHO though

John

[DownOnRodeo]

1. They have to enjoy themselves on tour in the States so that..
2. ... they definitely come to Australia for the SYW tour, and that...
3. ... they definitely follow up with an album, finally bringing Down On Rodeo, Shuffle Riff, Mistaken Love, and others, to light.
4. I'm meant to stop now aren't I

[FiercestCalmSea]

1)"Sara" must be performed at every other show.

2) The band(ok,mostly Stevie) needs to consume a decent amount of alcohol before performing,so that her stage presence is not reduced to just standing there grabbing her skirt all night.(oh yea,i would be more than happy to assist her in getting to know Mr.Cuervo on an intimate basis,none of this one shot of tequila to settle her nerves,lol)

runner-up:
Everything resembling the Dress shall be forever banished.

[WelshWitchPMD]

1. Stevie must NEVER, EVER wear the black dress again!!
2. Everyone on the LEDGE must be guaranteed the first 10 rows of any show at face value AND 2 backstage passes free.

[go6car]

1) I want Lindsey & Stevie to get totally pissed off at each other prior to each performance and take it out on each other (musically, of course!) during each live performance for the sole benefit of all of us emotion/drama junkie fans. I'm tired of this new vibe where everyone just sits and sings/plays quietly. If I want that, I'll play the CD. Age is NOT an excuse, nor is having spouse/offspring present. I want LOUD, volitle, explosive and deep-seated emotional outbursts/performances, comlete with looks, innuendo, etc.! If Linds & Stevie can't summon up that depth of feeling, I will humbly offer my super-power regressive hypnosis sessions, free of charge, with the condition I be given all access passes for any shows on the tour. Heck, I'll just join the tour. I'll need some assistants to help me, of course. Anyone?

2) After doing said rule # 1, I want CD-quality live tapings to end up in my stereo so that I can blast full-volume, with last song being Sisters of the Moon (in a live, Mirage-esq kind of way!), where Stevie sounds like she's singing/yelling in Swahelian. Ah, therapy for the soul, LOL!

PATTIE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[Sarah]

1. dreams and rhiannon shall not be played unless stevie can absolutely hit the high notes and lindsey agrees to rock out on the guitar solo.. not some cheap ass guitar solo ala Dance-Era rhiannon, either. Ugh.

2. the chain must NEVER be played without all Rumours-Era members on board. WTF gives?

I don't have a runner-up rule yet. Hm.

Cuervo! Blasphemy! Please tell me that Ms. Nicks does not drink that Mexican piss of a tequila. It's Patron Gold, smoother than 12 year old scotch. Whew! I feel better now.

[gldstwmn]

NEW RULES:

1. The setlist must change every night.

2. WE run the fan club.

[wondergirl9847]

1. Lindsey, Stevie, Mick and John go to England and convince Christine McVie and Danny Kirwan to join them for an album and tour.

2. Justin Guarini opens for FM on that particular tour and I get to kill two birds with one stone!!

(Runner-up): The FM fan club offers tee shirts, autographed photos, keychains, CD's with rare songs and a poster to the members. The fan club only costs 30 bucks and they have contests so that EVERYONE can have a chance at getting tickets, backstage passes and other goodies!!

[Janet]

1. Lindsey must take his girl fans out to drink after each and every show. They will be calm but get to talk to him and just stare at him..whatever.

2. FM ( at least consisting of S/L) must go out every other year until one of them passes.
