[turquoise5]

Age Range: Forties

Gender: female

When you became a fan:mid to late '70s

How you became a fan: Just hearing their songs on the radio.

First 3 FM songs: That I remember hearing? Rhiannon, Over My Head, Dreams

First FM vocalist: Stevie Nicks

Favorite FM Time Period: '75 - '82

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Stevie 50%, Christine 40%, Lindsey 10%

Concerts you've attended: Tango through Say You Will, plus 4 Stevie solo shows and 1 solo Lindsey show

FM stuff you own: LPs, CDs, T-shirts, books, 45s (love the sleeves those came in), posters. Also old cassette tapes and a few CDs of outtakes/demos.

Favorite thing about FM: Wide variety of songs, different writers and singers keep things fresh.

Least favorite thing about FM: One is that Chris basically phoned in her contributions to the Time album. Another is Stevie's songs on the Tango and Behind the Mask albums.... except for Seven Wonders it's really sub-par material for her.

Are you the same fan your where when you started: I'm not as much into collecting as I used to be, just continue to love the music.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen:The Fab Five plus Danny Kirwan.

Your wish for the future of the Mac: Another great album (or two!) as wonderful as the White Album and Rumours (my favorite albums). Also, that Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine would each write long, detailed autobiographies, without using ghost writers, and include lots of rare photos!

[Lilguy0726]

Age Range: 20 on the 26th. =D

Gender: Male

When you became a fan: Maybe two years ago now?

How you became a fan: My mom always liked the Mac and is a big Stevie fan. I started to lissten to them again when I went off to college, and have been hooked ever since.

First 3 FM songs: Well, the first song I ever remember hearing would probably be Rhiannon, and that's mainly because of my mom. After that, it would probably have been anything on 'The Dance' album.

First FM vocalist: Stevie, I would think. But Lindsey is amazing as well.

Favorite FM Time Period: Rumours crew. I really wish I would have gotten to see Chris perform with the Mac atleast once, but I doubt that will happen. =(

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: I would say Lindsey and Stevie at about 75%, so about 43% each. The rest for Chris, and while I like her songs, I can relate more to Lindsey and Stevie. But I wouldn't mind hearing Over and Over a few times. =D

Concerts you've attended: Just Stevie Nicks on the 6th of July in Detroit. I plan on seeing Lindsey at some point as well as the Mac in 2013.

FM stuff you own: All of the Rumours Era albums with the 5. Rumours, Tusk, Live, Mirage, Tango, The Dance, as well as Live in Boston and Say You Will. I also have bits and pieces of other albums, but mainly the Rumours stuff.

Favorite thing about FM: That they write a majority of their own music, and that the emotions flow through the music. It makes it feel as if you can feel what they're feeling (Woah, lotta feeling) and lets you even provoke your own emotions through the music. Stevie said at the concert I attended that she may interpret a song one way, but it's all about how the person who is listening interprets it, and how they relate to it.

Least favorite thing about FM: The fact that they break up all the time, haha. The good thing about the technelogical age is that I can seee some portions of the Old Mac on the internet, and have a sort of history lesson. I mean, speaking of my short time with the Mac, if there was no internet I would have been royally screwed, since they were all out on their own.

Are you the same fan your where when you started: I'd say yes. I find that I move from different time periods a lot. Like, I was on The Dance phase for a long time, then jumped to post Chris time, then went way back to Tusk. So, I don't really know.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: The original 5. I wouldn't mind seeing Peter Green there however. That man can play a guitar.

You wish for the future of the Mac: New album would be amazing!


I might as well my top three songs as well;

1. Storms
2. Book Of Love
3. Over and Over

That's at the moment. Next week I could be in a completely different spot.

First FM vocalist: Stevie! <3 I have recently started obsessing Chris

Favorite thing about FM: The drama. The music. The relationships. The affiars. The britishness.

Least favorite thing about FM: The line-up in between Tango to The Dance.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Rumours 5. That's the REAL FM. That's where the music is

You wish for the future of the Mac: I hope this tour causes them a HUGE come back and the next album that they produce grows almost as big as Rumours. Stevie always said she wanted to go out with a bang!
I wish they continue (or start) doing what makes them happy. ~I hope they find their love, their own designs of love~

[FierySequences]

Age Range: 30's

Gender: Male

When you became a fan: 87 for Mac; 84-85 for SN

How you became a fan: Through Stevie, of course. I have quotted this story too many times to tell, but I saw the BL video in 87 and remember thinking “Who the hell is this NEW band?” LOL

First 3 FM songs: Heard? Probably BL, and also Dreams, GYOW (but I had no idea who they were)

First FM vocalist: Stevie

Favorite FM Time Period: Rumours line up 75-82; Secondly BTM line-up, thirdly Welch and McVie (Love them)

Concerts you've attended: All SN shows since Street Angel, All FM shows since BTM (minus Time tour).

FM stuff you own: Most everything from 75-Present

Favorite thing about FM: Three part harmony and 3 songwriters/singers. The variety of it all. Of course I love the rhythm section, too

Least favorite thing about FM: The many break-ups and hiatiases. I wish that BTM line-up would have continued and done another album or 2

Are you the same fan your where when you started: Yes, a fanATIC

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Bob Welch(RIP) Chris, John and Mick, Stevie, Billy and Rick...ah hell add LB in there, too

Your wish for the future of the Mac:

• For CM to do a “one off” extended show and play with all the members in a 30-40 song jam session (all recorded, of course)
• For The Fab 5 to record a new (and final) album....the lonesome 4 to keep touring.
• Mick to do a Movie/Musical from his book.
• Mick and LB to arrange another box set featuring a full CD for each songwriter, respectively. This can be purchased solo CD or Box form.
• FM to finally release there official videos and some famous concert staples on one DVD.

[redbird]

Oh what a fun thread.

Age Range: Late 20s

Gender: Female

When you became a fan: Gradually but let's say 1997.

How you became a fan: FM radio + "The Dance" hoopla + mom.

First 3 FM songs: "Dreams", "Rhiannon", "Go Your Own Way", "Say You Love Me", "Sara", "Landslide", "Gypsy", "You Make Loving Fun" and "Gold Dust Woman", that's the narrowest I can get it.

First FM vocalist: The three-way harmony on the chorus of "Go Your Own Way".

Favorite FM Time Period: 1969-1982 (late Green, Welch years, early Rumours)

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: As vocalists? I have no idea beyond the fact that Stevie's voice at its best was really special to me. I love all the vocalists (caveat that I don't know the BTM era very well) though some are partly for their instrument playing, some for their songwriting and style, etc.

Concerts you've attended: Dallas, two months from now.

FM stuff you own: Fleetwood Mac '75, Rumours, Tusk, The Making of Rumors.

Favorite thing about FM: The three part harmony of the Rumours era, the blend of influences and personalities, the guitars of PG, DK, and LB, the songcraft.

Least favorite thing about FM: All the lost time and potential albums that never were because of drama. The need to sell fifty trillion copies (it's not 1974, y'all are fine now).

Are you the same fan your where when you started: No, how could I be, I know more ...

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Bob + the five fireflies

Your wish for the future of the Mac: Including the utterly unrealistic? One more great album, Stevie and Christine duets or even an album together, less drama. That they sing me "Angel". A little more blues. Generally a shift in sound back towards their roots (blues, hippie rock, folk/bluegrass/country, etc) and some earthier production.

[nicole21290]

Age Range: early twenties

Gender: female

When you became a fan: as a kid but not REALLY until about three weeks ago...

How you became a fan: Have known of them and some songs since childhood but recently, on a whim, bought The Dance DVD and promptly became obsessed by the time I reached the end of Silver Springs.

First 3 FM songs: I've known pretty much all the 'hits' as long as I can remember via the radio and a greatest hits CD my mum owns

First FM vocalist: no idea

Favorite FM Time Period: 1975 - 1982

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Vocally and lyrically, I've become attached to Stevie's songs most. Um, let's say: Stevie (45%), Lindsey (35%) and Christine (20%)

Concerts you've attended: none, unfortunately. lived vicariously through my mum attending a Sydney gig in '09 (her friend didn't think to buy me tickets as well, curse her...)

FM stuff you own: Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and Tusk on vinyl; The Dance and Destiny Rules on DVD and basically every downloadable bit of FM concert/interview footage I've been able to get my paws on...

Favorite thing about FM: gorgeous three part harmonies, the Stevie/Lindsey relationship and all that entails, alternatively forthright and ambiguous lyrics often about each other, Lindsey's guitar sound and talent, the fact that Mick, John, Stevie and Lindsey ar actually alive, reasonably fit and healthy and still touring.

Least favorite thing about FM: Sometimes it's endearing but sometimes the whole dramaqueen-ness of them, the gaps between albums, their inability to capitalise on opportunity, their terrible marketing/promotions on occasions, lack of new product (we want new songs, folks, screw the soul-sucking evilness of the Internet!)

Are you the same fan you were when you started: No. I've probably been a casual 'fan' since I was ten or so but my recent obsession and immersion is slightly different...

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: N/A

Your wish for the future of the Mac: New album and tour to support it (also a B/N album/tour kthnx), less over-production on any forthcoming songs, a better behind the scenes look at either a tour/making of album/etc than Destiny Rules - as much as I appreciate it -, more genuine, less rehearsed stage interaction, Christine to at least do SOME live gigs with the others, Lindsey and Stevie to buy some new clothes, Lindsey to lose the word 'cycles' from his vocabulary, honest autobiographies from Stevie and Lindsey, some form of Internet database/website for the band where membership actually gives you benefits aka behind scenes vids, old archive footage, access to unreleased songs, pictures, etc

[StreetAngel95]

Age Range: 15-20

Gender: Female

When you became a fan: my parents were playing FM for me while i was in the womb, but i guess i became a fan when i saw them live when i was 8

How you became a fan: i guess just by listening to the music...Say You Will was the very first CD i ever bought. and i was so proud of myself so i listened to it constantly. It was like my Rumours. It was unlike anything i had ever heard and i fell in love.

First 3 FM songs: Rhiannon, Don't Stop, Everywhere

First FM vocalist: Christine

Favorite FM Time Period: you're all gonna think i'm crazy...but i loved Tango so much.

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: hm.......i think it's somewhere around: Stevie 42% Lindsey 30% Christine 20% Bob 5% David 3%

Concerts you've attended: Say You Will tour: 6/6/04 Unleashed tour: 3/21/09. Now i'm a broke kid trying to save for college and can't attend their new tour.

FM stuff you own: oh good lord...i own every album both digitally, in CDs, and on vinyl. I own shirts from tours i've been to, plus Mirage tour, i have every DVD that's been professionally put out, i own press kits, and i own about 10 posters, and numerous stuffed penguins, and of course i own all of Lindsey, Stevie and Christine's solo materials on CD and vinyl, and countless Stevie memorabilia.

Favorite thing about FM: the whole story behind them as a band, the romance between all of them, and really just the music. It is so unique and so amazing.

Least favorite thing about FM: THE FACT THAT THERE ISN'T A NEW ALBUM OUT YET

Are you the same fan you were when you started: Absolutely not. I was strictly about the music when i first started out, and now i've gotten into the drama behind it, i analyze song lyrics, i'm very involved now.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Well i hate to be that girl, but i would just really love if Christine returned. Then it would be perfect. no pun intended

Your wish for the future of the Mac: I would absolutely love for them to release a new album, and do a fans request tour. I think it would be great to finally hear our favorite songs, maybe ones that didn't chart, live.

[Karlie]

Age Range: 20's

Gender: lady

When you became a fan: Been listening to them all my life, but I became a hardcore super obsessed fan at age 12.

How you became a fan: Stealing my parents' CDs.

First 3 FM songs: Everywhere, Rhiannon, Seven Wonders

First FM vocalist: Christine

Favorite FM Time Period: Tusk and Tango

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: 40% Christine, 40% Stevie, 20% Lindsey

Favorite thing about FM: The fact that they're still out there doing their thing!

Least favorite thing about FM: That I never got to see Christine perform live!

Are you the same fan your where when you started: I love them just as much as always, but back in middle school when I first became a fan, FM was all I ever talked about. Now I'm a bit more of a well-rounded person.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: The Rumours 5.

You wish for the future of the Mac: For Christine to come back in some capacity.

[nicolasjz]

Age Range: early twenties

Gender: male

When you became a fan: At 18.

How you became a fan: that's the sort of story Stevie would love. I developed a major crush on a friend of my best friend. My very naive self thought that I could I get closer to her by sharing some of her musical tastes. I saw on Facebook that she liked Fleetwood Mac, so I promptly went on Youtube, typed Fleetwood Mac, Dreams was the first video on so I clicked on it. Then magic happened… I never got the girl but I don't regret having done that!

First 3 FM songs: Dreams, GYOW, YMLF

First FM vocalist: Stevie

Favorite FM Time Period: 1975 - 1987

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: more Stevie, Lindsey and Christine in equal proportions.

Concerts you've attended: none

FM stuff you own: Rumours line-up CDs and lots of downloads.

Favorite thing about FM: everything Stevie, the amazing harmonies, Lindsey finger-picking.

Least favorite thing about FM: on tour they play the same old songs over and over and over. The Dance, SYW and Unleashed share basically the same setlist, which is so stupid considering the wealth of great material they have.

Are you the same fan you were when you started: I've been a fan for just a year and a half so I have to wait and see.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Christine coming back.

Your wish for the future of the Mac: a new studio album and tour setlists with fewer hits.

[depp91]

Age Range: early twenties

Gender: male

When you became a fan: during 2012

How you became a fan: The Rumours episode of Glee made me interested in that particular album, afterwards I checked out The Dance and became slowly addicted to the other albums of the Rumours lineup

First 3 FM songs: the ones I loved from the beginning were Go Your Own Way, I Don't Want To Know, Second Hand News

First FM vocalist: Don't know if it was Lindsey or Stevie but probably the combination of both

Favorite FM Time Period: Rumours until Mirage

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: 33% Stevie 33% Lindsey 33% Christine

Concerts you've attended: None yet but I've got a ticket for the show in Berlin this year

FM stuff you own: CDs: Rumours (2004 2disc edition and 2013 3disc edition), Tusk (2discs), Live, Mirage, Tango In The Night, The Chain (4discs), The Dance, Say You Will and I've just ordered the Say You Will and Peacekeeper singles on Ebay / DVDs: Tango In The Night, The Dance, Live in Boston / some other stuff that's not available officially anymore

Favorite thing about FM: the harmonies between the singers

Least favorite thing about FM: the ongoing drama between Stevie and Lindsey, Stevies attitude, Stevies "older" singing voice

Are you the same fan you were when you started: No, in the beginning I liked only certain songs on the albums but now I listen to most of them a lot

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Christine joining the band again... but I don't think that's a possibility, at least not on stage

Your wish for the future of the Mac: A new album of course, featuring Christine on some of the songs. They could to that without her having to join on tour... And they should definitely release expanded and remastered editions of their album from the 80s...

[PoetofRhiannon]

Least favorite thing about FM: Not possible.

Are you the same fan your where when you started: Definitely.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, Mick, and John...

How you became a fan: My dad's Greatest Hits CD

Are you the same fan your where when you started: No, I've definitely grown in the range of my taste and interests since I was a young teen.
