Yeah, it was really cute. Lindsey's response was great. Even Mick was smiling at them.

Mick: "I didn't enjoy going out into the car-park to tell Stevie that Silver Springs wasn't going to be on the record."

Roflol!!!

Fleetwood Mac/Lindsey headline news on home page of NME.com (only a shorter version of his Rolling Stone interview).

There is also a story about the Dave Grohl/Sound City interviews and mention of Stevie playing at the Sound City gig with Foo Fighters and ex Nirvana members.
http://www.nme.com/


This magazine/site is usually aimed at new up and coming bands or 'flavour of the month bands' and is mainly aimed at the 16-34 year old market so it's fantastic that they're getting mentioned so much here

The link to this story is again headline news on the Google UK entertainment section. They couldn't have asked for better publicity here, I can see the tour really doing well.

1) That first picture of Lindsey and Christine (and john and mick) is breathtaking!?! Anyone have that?

2) What is Stevie wearing?

Fleetwood Mac's legendary 'Rumours' album turns 36
By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

Whenever a music publication makes a list of top rock albums, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is there. While the album actually came out 36 years ago, the band is celebrating with what's being called a 35th anniversary expanded edition.

"We've been waiting a long time to put this out," Stevie Nicks told Rolling Stone. "If you were a Fleetwood Mac fan, you get to hear the songs turn into the songs without a lot of overdubbing. It's very simple."

"Rumours is the kind of album that transcends its origins and reputation, entering the realm of legend," writes Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic.com. "It's an album that simply exists outside of criticism and outside of its time, even if it thoroughly captures its era."

The album is noteworthy of course for such songs as "Go Your Own Way," "Don't Stop," and "You Make Lovin' Fun," but also for the band's own romantic turmoil as the album was being made, which bleeds through into the music.

"That really was a lot of the appeal of Rumours," Lindsey Buckingham admitted in the same Rolling Stone interview. "The music was wonderful, but the music was also authentic because it was two couples breaking up and writing dialogue to each other."

The band recently added more dates to their upcoming tour, which begins April 4 in Columbus, Ohio, and which will include many songs from "Rumours."

Christine McVie will not be a part of the tour. In 2012, when the tour was announced, Nicks told Rolling Stone, "(McVie) went to England and she has never been back since 1998, so it's not really feasible, as much as we would all like to think that she'll just change her mind one day. I don't think it'll happen. We love her, so we had to let her go."

The band's 1975 song "Landslide" appeared in Sunday's Budweiser Super Bowl commercial, one of the most popular ads of the night.

Both Mick and Stevie think that Christine has never been back to the United States since 1998.

She was here. She even did interviews in the states. I guess it doesn't take much to keep secrets from that bunch, especially when they're on tour and closed off from the world.

Whoa, Stevie was not deviating from that "three years," was she? She's like a nut.

-Well, I had that tractor accident and I couldn't tour in 2012.
-We tour every three years.

Lol! Exactly. The profoundness is stupefying.

Do we have the footage from Extra yet? My mom said she saw it in the middle of the night and at the end (presumably at the end of the whole show, during the credits), Stevie sang them out. Does anyone know what she was singing?

The only thing I can sing of is when Stevie sang at the beginning of that Fuse video.

I don't think I've seen this Extra interview, if she sang in it. We have this one:

Fleetwood Mac to go their own way performing new songs on tour - and fans outraged at 'tickets that cost more than my rent'

Fans might clamour for the hits from Rumours but Fleetwood Mac will perform new material on their forthcoming tour.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music drummer Mick Fleetwood said the band had written three new songs, which they plan to play on stage later this year.

The 65-year-old hinted the recordings could be part of a “long term plan” to release a new studio album.

But fans hit back today at the price of tickets for the Fleetwood Mac tour, due to play in London,

Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. Tickets are priced between £50 and £125, but with a £12.50 booking fee can reach up to £137.50 each.

One fan tweeted: “Sorry Fleetwood Mac but your tickets cost more than my rent” while another said: “£135 each for Fleetwood Mac tickets…are they having a giraffe? Top price Beyonce tickets look set to be £95 too. Robbing bastards.”

The Rolling Stones were also criticised by fans last year for the cost of their tour, with tickets selling for as much as £1,300.

After frequent changes to the line-up since the band formed in London in 1967, the 2013 tour will feature Stevie Nicks, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and founding members Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass.

Fleetwood revealed this morning that he had written some songs with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham six months ago as “a calling card” for singer Nicks.

“We wanted her to know we wanted to make some new music and we had some great songs,” he said.

“But her mother died not too long after and it wasn't the time for her to do any singing, so we dropped it.

”Then recently she's sung on three of them and recorded one original song of hers, so we're going to mix these songs down and there'll be something that we will play hopefully on stage.“

Nicks vowed last year that the tour would not be the band’s last, who have had more than four decades of making music.

“It’s never going to be a final tour until we drop dead. There’s no reason for this to end as long as everyone is in good shape and takes care of themselves,” she said.
