Question: would they be any less of an oldies band with Christine?

I liked SYW! I could still feel a little of that FM magic/chemistry. Granted, it should have been like 12-15 songs, but that can be excused, as it was still one CD. I'm just curious to see if they could put together anything worthwhile nowadays- I bet they could, if they really tried and weren't primarily motivated by money. I think each member may be slightly weak as far as solo work lately (although I loved SWS and thought it was one of Lindsey's best), they could support each other when they play together and still sound great.

No but I'd bet they'd make a better sounding new original album. Classic harmonies coming back........but they'd still for sure be an oldies band.....that's what the fans like to hear.

No, although the full lineup would be more of a reason for me to attend!

BUT ALSO, the full lineup would most likely be able to construct much more of a FM sounding album. Lessee here, their primary hitmaker was retired, for SYW. Do I have that timeline correctly?

A good reason why they should add 1 or 2 new members, to have more of a full lineup.

Agreed. Hell, Bob Welch has said that he would do it! Even if he only sang 3 or 4 of his bigger songs, that would add variety that they need.

BUT, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. They don't want to share the stage, and it must be 1977, because they're still milking that old war horse, Tumours.

The only thing that bothers me more than them still milking relationships that ended THIRTY SIX years ago, are the shipper fans who still lap up that soured(and expired) milk.

I nearly chocked on my spit......But everything said is beyond true If Welch DID come back in......i would pop my head in the door again

Thanks. I'm honest to a fault, and always call a spade a spade! (and no offense really intended, but shippers work my last nerve[I need a vomit emoticon here!])


If they need a backing guitarist, WHO BETTER than Welch? Let him sing a few songs. "I" would pay for that. I won't pay for Buckingham/Nicks yelling/4 note singing range fiasco....
Just sayin'!

And someone posted yesterday, about me hating Tumours. I do not hate it. It is the most important album of my entire life(fell in love with it, and honestly, my career in music...most likely would never have happened, had it not been BECAUSE of my obsession with it). So I love it. But it's what creatively killed FM, because they're still promoting it strongly, 35 years after it's release. That, is an embarrassment, to them as "artists".

Call it a day. Mick John and lindsey record lindseyalbums.

I think Mick just had a bad day when the interview took place.I hope it was only that.Time will pass and they will hit the studio and the road next summer.

That could be my post you're referring to, but I know you don't hate it. I understand exactly how you feel about it. I just posted because I'm perplexed about the anti-Stevie sentiment when Mick is the one who wants to go out and milk Tumours again while Stevie is out on the road singing new songs.

[David]

I want the band to call it quits, and then I want Stevie Nicks to sell me a DVD of a bunch of her October Wild Heart shows.

Next, I want some more DVDs of early & mid '70s shows.

That's all I need. Bye-bye, FM. Go write books or golf or something.

to see a tour behind new material, not a tour just to promote the past 'hits'.
