A FM Album without Stevie is just a Lindsey solo album

I don't conveniently forget anything, it's the song she won't even attempt a the high notes and still drudges thru her nose whilst singing it... oh yeah.. that song..

My lane is fine.. move over..

I went for my boyfriend. It was his birthday present. I'm not one of those people that believe popular equals better.

I'll take Stevie over Beyonce. Just making a point that sales doesn't make you better or worse. Just popular.

I loved Christine's solo album after she left. It didn't sell and there was no promotion, but it was great classic McVie.

Who cares if it sells? I don't want any members of FM to die poverty-stricken. But I don't think that's likely to happen, even if they never cross Stevie's path again.

So, the idea of an album put out by 70 year old people not breaking sales records is not something that bothers me at all. I wish it wouldn't bother the 70 year olds. If they have finally evolved to a point where it doesn't matter, I'm proud of them. Of course, I'll believe it when I see it. We may never get this album, but if we do, sales will be the last thing on my mind.

Wonder if they would still use Stevie's back up singers? Think they'd move Christine to the center of the stage? Or would she still stay in the back left corner?

To replace Stevie's songs, I wonder if Lindsey will perform more 12 minute solos on songs like Not That Funny, I'm So Afraid, and Come? Maybe more of his solo work like Big Love, Go Insane, the Ledge, or Walk a Thin Line?

You must never have seen a Lindsey soloshow. Lounge? Don't make me laugh. I hope they ditch the backupsingers, and -players too. Lindsey's solo's have never topped the 5 minutes. And if you like Fleetwood Mac, their more rocking liveside is as old as this band is. Including some lengthened live-staples. The seventies and early eighties Steviesongs that were stretched out were legendary: Rhiannon and Sisters Of The Moon. With delicate and wildly rocking guitarextensions.

Big Love, The Ledge and Walk a thin Line are not solowork. And would all be very welcome at a 'Fleetwood Mac-extra concentrated'-show.

Bat **** Crazy!!! Lindsey and Christine are magic.

Except for one, who constantly says that 'people don't buy albums anymore so why bother making them?'.

By the way, if ANY lindseyalbum was stickered as Fleetwood Mac album he would have had at least double sales. He simply doesn't care anymore about selling, Stevie does.

I tried to make that very point. She's only interested in herself, her ego, and bloviating.

It's just one more reason to be excited for the 4 piece. They want to put in the work.
