and last but not least:
c) that in 2012 Richard said he was very open to working with Lindsey.

agreed, elle; something doesn't quite add up....

Bob wold not have worked well in that vein. At the time, the band wanted someone who could fill in the vacancy left by Lindsey, someone who could also sing his songs. Bob was so creative and original but not at all compatible with those expectations. I also think that after Lindsey left, the band's big concern was commercial viability. Bob had ceased to be commercially viable years earlier.

This isn't to say his rejoining couldn't have produced a fascinating mix and change to the sound. I would have loved to have heard his talk/sing alongside Nicks. The band could have really pushed the mystical. Instead, they went straight up generic.

Oh, my post may have read the wrong way. Mick was talking about being sick himself -- not that Richard was sick. He was just saying he had a vision of Richard while he was ill.

On this station, "The Trash" they played clips of Stevie and were making fun of Stevie telling Christine it's a grueling 2 hour and 40 minute show and she can't just come and go by saying, yeah Fleetwood Mac is known for their stage diving and flying into the crowd and if Christine doesn't want to do that at 70 years old, she should just get out. And they said of the 26 songs that FM sings, Christine would have to do seven of them.

In other words, they didn't seem to think that the show FM puts on is that grueling. It was pretty funny, but kind of unfair, because I do think that the show FM puts on can take the energy out of you.

So, then they also commented on Stevie saying that if she had any ounce of psychic power in her body, she knew that John would be fine. They start playing Stevie about 1 minute into the clip.

Not to mention she sings backup on just about every song.

Stevie is also funny.. like Christine can't understand at this point in her career that once she commits she can't just up and leave again. I'm gonna guess Christine is aware how hard touring is by now.

OMG!! ROTFL

[I'msoAfraid95]

I think that Christine has probably already thought about how much hard grueling work and sacrifice she'll have to make. This isn't a lighthearted decision.

Regarding the Access Hollywood interview, I think Stevie approaches Christine coming back into the group in a very realistic, sensible manner. Like Stevie says, "IT IS HER BAND...MCVIE...MAC..IT'S HERS" "We'll have see how the cards fall." Stevie wants to make sure Christine really knows what she's getting herself into. Spoken like a true friend. Stevie is even giving Lindsey a lot of credit in the interview.

[michelej1]

So, Fleetwood Mac has changed, based on what Stevie said to Access. It's no longer like signing up to join the army. Instead, it's like signing on to do a movie. That's dangerously close to Lindsey's statement about painting and movie making, which I've been trying to escape.

Ok, I let Stevie slide when she said their stage show was 2 hours and 40 minutes long, but now she says it's almost 3 hours long.

I wouldn't say that FM rocks that hard. They don't do anything that they weren't doing when Christine was there anyway. First of all they like to put 3 flaming songs together -- but they did that with Chris. I'd actually like to see I Know I'm Not Wrong return. But Tusk, Stand Back and GYOW were all there with Christine. And so was Gold Dust Woman. GDW manages to sound a little different each go round and I look forward to hearing it with Christine back.

Rhiannon actually rocks LESS than it did when Christine was there. I hope it gets a little fire back.

Then, ISA does rock, but they've always done at least one song with a long guitar solo with Christine there as well. They never did Come while she was there, but heaven help Lindsey if he tries to put that thing back into an FM setlist.
