Fighting wasn't even really the problem with Tango anyways, it was that everyone was a mess.

I went to his book signing and asked him privately. He said that a certain member would constantly threaten to leave if he/she didn't get his/her way.

I'm sure there wasn't a lot of fighting on BTM, but I think he'd moved on in life and wanted to produce other projects.

Oh yeah I read he said once when he was talking about how Lindsey did that with Tusk that Stevie did the same thing later.

Richard I think it was I read he said he hated either BTM or Time, he said there was actually a lot of issues and he had a lot of conflict on it.

Oh yeah it was Time then, he wasn't even on BTM tho I wonder why. For some reason I don't think things were totally peachy then either, even if there was less fighting things are never easy with FM plus Stevie was knocked out on tranquilizers which probably made her interesting to work with.

He was working with Lindsey on OOTC.

He did allude during his q&a that he and Lindsey had a musical disagreement while making Mirage. Can't recall exactly where it is in his q&a but if you scroll through it you'll find it. The suggestion Ken made was that Lindsey didn't ask him back after this.

Edit: I did find the portion of his q&a and am quoting it here:

How come you ended your work with Fleetwood Mac in 1983? Richard was a Co-producer with Lindsey on Tango, but not you if my memory is correct. In recent interviews Lindsey has seemed to be much more focused on Fleetwood Mac than his solo career despite the fact he has been working on a solo album since 1996. Has he shelved his solo project in favor of rolling it into a Fleetwood Mac album? (Anonymous, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA)

Well, maybe you could give me a tip on the stock market. My birthday is coming up-- go buy the Rumours DVD audio disc. Do you know it's been number one for eight weeks! See, the band really believes that you all would not be happy if Christine was on the album and not on the road. I think they may be right. I stopped working with Fleetwood Mac in 1983 because they didn't ask me to do. I think it was something between me and Lindsey. Yes, I believe Lindsey has shelved his solo project and is rolling it into the new Fleetwood Mac album.
