Stevie Nicks on Christine McVie: 'She brings the funny back into Fleetwood Mac'

[editme2]

It's sad to me that Stevie and Lindsey, at their age, can't put their (huge) egos aside and communicate with each other. Sounds to me like there has been some tension between them this tour, but they've tried to keep it away from Christine.

They seemed to be doing so well. I wonder what it was this time: Stevie's solo album? Her lack of interest in recording with the band? The setlist? The length of the tour?

all of the above and then some??

wouldn't surprise me in the least if he ended up having to concede more money than her to accommodate Chris's cut…. and on and on

Good question...What's the new cut? 30%(SN)/20%(LB)/20%(CM)/15%(MF)/15%(JM) ?

Maybe someone here knows…

isn't he managed by Irving Azoff these days? Or is that just the band??

He is. Most of the time it just says that he is represented by Azoff, rather than the whole band.

I think Stevie is the only one with a "let's see what happens" attitude towards the album. Everyone else is committed.

I was irritated when I read that. I mean, Chris, Lindsey, and Mick have told Rolling Stone that a new album is definitely going to follow the tour, and that Stevie could participate if she wishes to. But the journalist of this article paraphrases Stevie's "we'll see" attitude as if it were the mindset of the entire band.

I am still beyond annoyed that Stevie has not committed to working on the new record in any affirmative way. It's really frustrating for all of us who have been waiting and waiting and waiting for these five to come out with new material.

I thought so. Irving has a reputation for being a tough negotiator (as is Stevie's manager, Howard Kaufman) so it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall during the negotiations for each person's share of the pie now Christine is back.

This video sums it up.

No confrontations to spare Christine is exactly what I was thinking as I was reading this.I'm sure they didn't appreciate her painting a picture of them "hobbling" back to the hotel rooms and picking up their hot water bottles.Do people really still use them?

clearly she's projecting from her own problems to the whole band. it's not like she looks very mobile on the stage either.

actually, i really don't get why she doesn't find more comfortable shoes that could still fit her image if she has so much problems moving around. Cyndi Lauper performs in cool combat boots these days and does tons of dancing and easily moves around covering the stage these days, while she used to wear high hills in her younger days, and pokes fun at it now. i guess it's image before health for some, while others have no problems re-vamping their image.

well, she got so much blowback for her so-called "frankenboks" all over the internet and everywhere that she went back to the boots…although she's been wearing the ankle high ones rather than the knee high ones. However the heels on those were still about 3 inches, which will kill your back for sure.

well they have to actually look good lol. it's not like she can't afford both comfortable and good-looking shoes. Cyndi's combat boots are not ugly, they fit with the rest of her outfits.

of course, you are reading only Stevie's side of the story, and she obviously likes to be melodramatic.

i haven't seen Lindsey saying in the interviews that he doesn't want to talk to her. i've just seen him saying she doesn't want to work on new material with the rest of the band (which interestingly now in this interview she turns around and decides to blame the rest of the band spending holidays with their families for no new material? )
