LMJS Productions and Dave Stewart

[seanthompson]

Does anyone believe it could ever be agreed upon by the band to have Dave Stewart produce the next Mac album and have it released under LMJS Productions?

I'd stop listening to Fleetwood Mac.

No, I highly doubt it.

I think he'd be great producing Fleetwood Mac.
He did a great job producing Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, why wouldn't he be great with FM.
And he has a son named Django!

I think it's good to be open-minded when it comes to music. Republican-style thinking never bodes well with art.

I hope not.

I don't see why not.IYD was great.

I think Dave Stewart's signature slick production style worked wonderfully for In Your Dreams, but applying that formula to Fleetwood Mac just wouldn't work. Stevie's solo career & Fleetwood Mac are entirely different animals. Everthing I've ever heard Dave produce just sounds too heavy handed for it to work with Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention I surmise egos would not allow it; I think a fresh producer would have to be brought in. I doubt Stevie would work with Mitchell Froom because Stevie would likely fear he'd be partial to Lindsey. The same goes for Dave Stewart; I doubt Lindsey would want to retread Stevie's solo values within Fleetwood Mac.

I agree. If they were to go that route, someone who could meld the two worlds together and not lean too heavily toward either one would be ideal.

You think they'd be able to come up with a more creative name given that they're supposed to be artists and all.

I wonder who came up with the idea, how the order got chosen, etc. It's alphabetical when considering their last name, but not by the first initials they used, obviously.

I also wonder how the order got chosen, or who even came up with the initial idea anyway. It's not alphabetical (by first name - it actually is alphabetical if you consider their last names, so maybe that's it). It's not by age. Hm.

Perhaps the order of names was chosen by the amount of time each member put into the EP project?

Burn! We're looking at you, Stevie.

I guess you have to keep it mind it took them months of negotiations to come up with the title "Extended Play". No telling how long it took for them to come to a agreement on LMJS.

Well, I think fans did come to that conclusion about The Chain order.

So, if they'd used sir names it would have been BFMN. Maybe they did do it alphabetically, but just thought that LMJS was easier to say -- if anyone would ever have a reason to say it.
