The New Album Thread

[secondhandchain]

Stevie is not going to participate in a new album. The writing is on the wall with all her quotes lately.

Or she's simply just trying to play hardball to get her way about something, probably over who would produce her stuff or when the sessions for her would actually take place.

Stevie wouldn't dare be left out of the album because if the sessions were to be released as an LP, all public media eyes would be on her for her glaring omission and seeming 'unsportsmanlike' behavior due to Christine's return, especially once the band begins touting that she wanted no part of it, and especially then if she shows up for another 'Hits' tour after the albums release. No matter how much anyone here likes Stevie, if an album goes down without her after she just toured with them, we know exactly who is going to be pegged as the bad guy no matter the facts.

She will cave because it'll be the same reason she caved when Mick went public about not being sure whether Stevie would tour with them again. This is purely band politics. If an album is put out and the band wants an album 100% but Stevie wants no part, she needs to quit the band or else the media backlash will strike at her. Everybody and their mother, their brother, their sister and their neighbors want a final Rumours lineup album. And if it doesn't happen, she's going to get blamed. I highly doubt her ego could take the blow.

It will happen come Hell or high water.

I for one would be entirely happy with an album by Mick, John, Lindsey, and Christine.

i agree this is all band politics: the band is trying to get Stevie to work with them and she doesn't want to yet wants to stay in the band (and not get blamed for no album). i see her RS cover story fitting nicely into her agenda and against the band's.

if you read some of the fan comments, the backlash to RS story is against the band not wanting to do a new album, cause it was presented as SN speaking for the band. story is nicely crafted so that it perpetuates the picture of them still having childish or inconsequential fights of ex-lovers, not that they are actually disagreeing about something substantial and artistic, like a direction the band should take (didn't they really disagree about that since Tusk????? guess that story is not nearly as sexy as ex-lovers fighting!).

This makes my stomach turn, Elle. No wonder I never read the comments.

Lindsey has been very inspired with his collaborations with Christine, and seems determined/resolved to wrap up Fleetwood Mac with one more album- a final gesture to themselves and their legions of fans.

Stevie is a very sentimental lady. Despite any contentions she may hold, Fleetwood Mac made her rich and famous, giving her the opportunity to pursue her own muse. Knowing that the band has a pending expiration date, it's hard to believe she would take this particular time to opt out.

Though she has expressed some ambivalence - unsure of what she wants to do-I feel, once the tour is over, she will be on board with contributing and finishing the album, since there will be no turning back; this will be her absolute final commitment to them. She'll be free from all the oppression and obstruction she apparently perceives. But she will express lament and never stop continuing to tell redundant stories about Lindsey and the band.

And the writing has been on the wall for years that her ability to draw attention is impeccable.She's got it mastered.

god I loathe her, and her problems. She has become the epitome of being a spoiled princess. And yet lacks the class to stand upright, and honor the band that afforded her her life!!!

Of course! I Know I'm Now Wrong!

[MikeVielhaber]

I think there's very little chance of that happening.
