I'm on the same page, that Stevie needs to go on a diet. HOWEVER, Gimme Shelter is the GREATEST BACKGROUND VOCAL OF. ALL. TIME. Please keep her high goatness away from that song.

Steve's right though. Bekka is the only one ever from the FM camp that could do it justice. Bekka would KILL IT!

I love it when people think they're going to come here and spank my ass over stating my opinion. Especially when I'm within the rules of the board.

Be careful...I might enjoy it(that can be taken a couple different ways, and it's intentional).

Your opinions on this matter are my opinions. The band is DONE. It was certainly done after Lindsey was fired. In many respects, it was done BEFORE Lindsey was fired.

The last gasp they had towards relevance was the BuckVie project. That should have been a FM album and the tour to support it the last goodbye. Money, spite, fear, and agents got in the way of this.

Yep. Firing Lindsey ended any relevance they still had.

BuckVie WAS the last FM project, even if the old goat kept it from being called that. I'm GLAD the project turned out the way it did(although not for their legacy- but for me). Goat free. No drama, just love(you could feel it!). Tickets were affordable. Hell, I was front row, pushing a dozen roses into Christine's toeses. I GOT THE SWAN SONG I WANTED. Did I mention that it was goat and drama free?

I'm just saying I disagree, I'm not spanking anything, nor ordering anyone to shut up, etc.

The reason why I disagree was within the concerts context. The general masses who doesn't know all the FM history could enjoy the (fake) love gestures and my opinion is because they just don't know.

I could go to a concert of any other band where the members have a long hate story (that I ignore) and if I see them smiling and hugging, I could celebrate, ignoring the actual hipocrisy that is there. My point is that I would be ignorant, not an idiot. That's why I considerer unfair to label common fans idiots. Not all fans are well informed.

Now if there are people at social networks that assure Lindsey and Stevie are still madly in love, of course they are deilusional morons as jmn3 said. But my point was just about the fans at concerts and what they would watch.

I think this thread is blurring opinion with predictability. My opinion is the band was getting past their expiration date before Lindsey was fired. I don't want to see any sort of reunion with Stevie and Lindsey. Even if Chris was alive, I am not sure she could still do it. She pretty much lost her ability to play and was struggling vocally. Now that she is gone post Lindsey, its foolish and insane for any sort of reunion. Having said that, my hunch would be there will be some sort of reunion to make peace and pretend while making a bunch of money.
I can separate my opinion from what I think will happen which is the title of this thread. Will a reunion happen? I would hate to see it but I bet it will happen. Stevie, Lindsey, and Mick can still function and perform live.

However, you’re cherry picking their history to get to that conclusion, ignoring things like Lindsey refusing to play the 2013 Oceana dates without John.

If they hadn’t fired Lindsey and if John hadn’t made it clear he’s done, then I’d agree a reunion would be possible. But without the McVies, I don’t think any of the others would agree to go back out as Fleetwood Mac.

Even if Stevie and Lindsey have a reconciliation and do a project with Mick, it won’t be as Fleetwood Mac.
