Sans Crow, Fleetwood Mac To Tour In 2009

[AlanC]

Well, if this is a "farewell" tour, making a record after the fact doesn't make sense!!

Besides, what happens if Stevie and Lindsey get sick of each other again as they have a history of doing?

WE suffer the consequences!!!

I WANT NEW MAC MUSIC but I dont want them beating the hell out of one another in the studio!!!!

I have mixed feelings. Somebody hold me

Well, that's the thing. I have no doubt that touring together will give them both fodder for new song material, but I do think the touring experience will make it harder for them to go into the studio AFTER the tour than it would be before.

The only thing I can say is that because this tour will last a looong time, maybe they can record an album during a break -- which would be impossible for them to do. We'll never get something as fast as the White album again. But that's the only way I can see this working. First leg without new material. Then throw an album out there and tour with "new" music the 2nd leg. At least that way, they will have a much better excuse for saturating the market -- by revisiting so many tour cities-- than they did in 2004.

Yep, this experience won't shut down those creative juices.

Well, now we don't know how long this tour will be. . . but your scenario makes sense. It will certainly be tour-album-tour. Recording songs on the go and jamming on the road might allow that break to be relatively short. A good producer -- Timbaland! hollah!! -- will also help. That said, I think all those "rumours" started by that heavy metal band should be thrown out the window -- so there's no need to suspect this will be a loooong farewell tour.

. . . sigh, does anyone else ever listen to "Shut Us Down" and imagine it as a Lindsey-Stevie duet?

[AlanC]

Timbaland! hollah!!


Oh hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please don't plant that seed any anybodys head! LOL The mere thought makes me cringe!

Sounds like Linds is hinting that someone may still join the band to replace C. Vanesa Carlton anyone?

I think she would be a great addition and briong some youthful new blood into the group.

And what about Stevie's statement about no going out with FM unless anopther female was brought in? Did FM call her bluff maybe?

No, she came to a "point of clarity"... and that was good for her...

[missus]

I have an idea...I'll have sex-reassignment surgery, and go on the road with them as "Bobbie" Welch ;-)

Question.....Should I go "C" cup, or "D" cup ?? ;-)

When I think of 'Farewell" tours...

I'm reminded of Ozzy Osbourne 1991 "No More Tours" tour and Kiss' MULTIPLE 'Farewell' tours...And if anyone knows NEITHER have retired as was advertised ("Farewell" tour = Moneygrab)

Sheryl Crow Not Flying With Fleetwood Mac

Los Angeles (E! Online) - Sheryl Crow and Fleetwood Mac have stopped thinking about a shared tomorrow.


Just as frontman Lindsey Buckingham was confirming that his band's 2009 tour would proceed without the "All I Wanna Do" songstress, Crow came full circle on the rumor that she started in March, when she told a music website that she and the '70s-era hitmakers "definitely" had plans to collaborate.

"No, that was those Rumours— to quote the album," the singer-songwriter told a group of Nashville college students Wednesday at a Grammys Foundation Q&A session when asked about her future Fleetwood plans.

"I'm a huge fan and have a great relationship with Stevie [Nicks], and actually with all of them. I just absolutely adore them," added Crow, who has produced for Nicks and provided backup vocals and instrumentals for a number of tracks on the Fleetwood den mother's 2001 solo album Trouble in Shangri-La.

She also eased up on the assurances: "I think their next album may be while I'm on the road," she said. "Hopefully in the future we'll have some kind of collaboration, but not at this time."

Her comment earlier this year left Fleetwood Mac a bit puzzled, with Buckingham telling Billboard.com in March that he and his fellow bandmates were "all a little surprised" at her announcement.

But, hers "was certainly a name that has come up. We'll have to see," he graciously added.

Now, however, it's clear that Fleetwood Mac has decided to go its own way. Buckingham, who's heading out on a solo tour Sept. 7 in support of his upcoming album Gift of Screws, told Billboard.com yesterday that the whole Crow business "kinda got out of hand."

Although he and Nicks and the rest spoke with the Detours purveyor, the idea—which partly sprang from the band's belief that there may have been "a little too much testosterone on stage when we went out in 2003"—"just kind of lost its momentum."

Keyboardist and singer Christine McVie left the group in the late 1990s, leaving Nicks as its sole female member.

I concur given their history I would prefer they make the new album first then if they have a huge row and refuse to tour with each other no big deal IMO .However if the row is on a tour and then they refuse to make the album I would be upset..I would MUCH rather have a new album than another tour.

[jwd]

I say, let's just let it happen. They have plans to do something next year, and that's a start.

[DavidMn]

Well there is a prescedence for this when you think about it. I mean, hadnt Fleetwood Mac began recording some of Tusk when they went on the road in the summer of 1978?


Also, I'm going to make a prediction here. I really think Fleetwood Mac will not be as dumb ad the Eagles and try to completely rape the fans with ticket prices. The SYW tour top ticket was $125 if I remember, and I dont see it going above $150 for this new tour. Just my 2 cents

Since they are now managed by the same person who was behind the Eagles' ticket price, I'm not so sure.

No doubt Azoff will try to squeeze every penny he can out of fans but I think the Eagles can get away with charging more unless Christine was to return which will never happen ..I guess the new album is almost guaranteed then given the Faustian deal the band must have signed with him.
