Stevie Nicks Says Issues With Lindsey Buckingham Threaten Her Involvement With FM

[trackaghost]

The sales thing has always baffled me too, as I've said many times in the past, why it bothers anyone outside of the record company I have no clue. As long as Lindsey is still producing good music, the chart position doesn't concern me. I think maybe Lindsey was going for something more commercial with OOTC, but because the time was completely wrong for that album (grunge, alternative and indie music took over in the early 90s) it didn't do as well as say, Stevie's OSOTM. If he had released OOTC on the back of Tango, I'm pretty certain it would have been a bigger, breakthrough hit for him. The rest of his solo output screams artistic integrity over sales. Why would he put out an album even more oddball than Tusk with Law And Order, when he already had the band on his back for ruining potential Rumours-like sales with its weirdness, if he was out to prove himself as a big-selling solo artist?
Like I said in this thread, I think Lindsey has been jealous of Stevie in the past, but not of her sales, I think he's jealous of the recognition she gets as being the driving force of Fleetwood Mac's popularity. Her success as a solo artist only seemed to prove that in many people's minds that she was the reason the band became a million seller. Considering he was the producer, arranger, singer, songwriter, guitarist in the band, you can understand why he might be a little irked that this little blonde chick singer who can't even play an instrument properly and needs help to finish her songs, and his ex-girlfriend to boot, got more credit than him.
