she said - he said why Lindsey Left

there's a video of it - the text in that interview was transcribed from one of these village recorder videos they did... it's buried somewhere in that 2013 press thread. LB didn't say yay or nay when she said that... it probably fit in and added up with the other reasons he had - so both of them are probably telling just one part of the multilayered story.

I don't recall seeing this particular discussion in video format at all. And I thought I'd seen everything.

yeah look through 2013 press thread and CBS thread - it's in one of those 2 (Stevie's side of the story). people were discussing it in that thread too.

I've looked through them all, and I can't find it. But I could be blind.

As far as I'm aware, this all originated with the Rolling Stone interview.

Both quotes are taken from there, just one of the writers decided to use Lindsey's words and the other used Stevie's .

Multilayered! Excellent description.

I think that he was close to being "disgusted" by Stevie at the time. I think that when you love someone so much and that person stays crazy (or "schizophrenic" ), and you personally have grown and changed, you push that person away because you can't believe you were with that person. In the end, it's a part of yourself, your past, that you want to erase (the fact that you could tolerate a person like that means you were a lot like that). So it's not just Stevie. But it's also really Stevie.

Great point!

I would love to see that too!

Tango In The Night was originally supposed to be a Lindsey Buckingham solo album, until Warner Bros. started putting pressure on the band to record another album, so Tango In The Night ended up becoming a Fleetwood Mac album. Maybe he felt bitter because of this. Maybe he didn't really want Tango to be a Fleetwood Mac album, and maybe this was one of the reasons he left... just a thought.

He's often complained about that, but truth be told, nobody held a gun to his head. He was well-compensated for his choice to record the material under the moniker of "Fleetwood Mac." It's not as if he gave up creative control of his songs or had to sacrifice quality to put them on an FM album, so what's the problem? I think it was just an excuse for not putting out more than one solo album between the years of 1985-2005. Thankfully he no longer needs any excuses.
