Rumours of Lindsey leaving the band? - Page 30

Macfan4life · #**436** 04-09-2018, 04:52 PM

I never like to drink during the week. I get up too early. But tonight I need a few stiff drinks. Going to get a bottle of rum. Such a sad day. No matter how you slice it. There is no justification for this. Shame on all of them for rolling over for money.
We love you Lindsey. You care about your craft. You will play live for 15 people and enjoy it better than 15000.

Maybe three decades.

If money was the real issue then they would have kept Lindsey.

That’s why it’s gotta be LB said I’m not touring without an album, so Mick was staring at less money and zero money. Because SN made it clear no album.

I just got home from work. A super busy day and barely enough time to check my phone but I saw the official announcement. Before I begin to digest this news here's my initial reaction:

It's the end of time
The end of time
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
It's the end of the line
It's the end of time
The end of time
The end of time

Why saying he wouldn't tour without an album at this point when he knows there's very little chance and on top of that he's also occupied with his solo career at the moment?
My guess is that he's taking his time off like Stevie did before him but in his case they didn't want to postpone the tour and couldn't say that "this was never meant to be a FM tour" and decided to formally fire him, while they'll eventually reunite and this formation is a temporary solution to fill the void.

I wake up
With my eyes shut tight
Hoping tomorrow will never come
For you and I
Oh the phantoms
Crawl out of the night
Hoping the daylight will never come
For you and I
Keep your heart open and your eyes shut tight
What will be, will be
Keep your heart open and your eyes shut tight
But don't forget about me
Oh the phantoms
Crawl out of the night
Hoping the daylight will never come
For you and I
Keep your heart open and your eyes shut tight
What will be, will be
Keep your heart open and your eyes shut tight
But don't forget about me
I wake up
With my eyes shut tight
Hoping tomorrow will never come
For you and I
Hoping tomorrow will never come
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I

While I agree wholeheartedly that this is really really wrong on a couple levels, how am I the only one so far who is kind of excited about this? Remember M Campbell and all of the heartbreakers ate huge fans of the pre BN era of Fleetwood Mac. As a huge fan of both Fleetwood mac and the heartbreakers I am really looking forward to seeing this line up. Plus now Lindsey will release his solo album and be touring behind it at the same time. It’s a win win. Where are all the real “Fleetwood Mac” fans out there who aren’t just rumours 5 fans?

Honestly I feel stevie should be the one out of the band and touring with mike Campbell and this neil dude in a Tom Petty tribute band but this works too. Lindsey gets to be creative and we will get a VERY different Fleetwood Mac tour this year.

I’m a HUGE fan of the pre-rumours FM. I have zero interest in a post rumours FM however.

Well, I'll be at a show this go round. The silver lining here is more Christine songs. I can't imagine there will be many 'Neil Finn sings Lindsey songs' moments. GYOW and MM or SHN are definitely getting played, but can they expect someone to want to take on ISA? That would ring pretty damn hollow to me. I hope that Christine has a good enough voice for the tour to pull off some more songs. I'll always be a Stevie fan. If this ouster falls on her and Mick, that's crappy, but the show goes on. The music is what matters most to me and I'll take what I can get. Again, who's to say another album from the 5 of them would've been worth it? Even Frankentstein-ing BuckVie and 24K wasn't entirely satisfying. Lindsey is now free to make all the solo material he wants...and I guess that's a good thing for the people that want that.

You guys leave $tevie Nicks alone.

$he got the guy that told FMac he wasn't joining without his girlfriend... KICKED OUT!

$he said $he wasn't making an album because of current days $ales in the indu$try. And that $he only wants to tour.

$he then got her long time friend into the band u$ing Mick knowing he ha$ 3 ex wives and a lot of kid$. ME OR HIM $he told him.

Well played $tevie. You truly own the band. kudos, girl!!

I am a real Fleetwood Mac fan. The Bob Welch era is just as good as the Rumours line up. The Mac treated Bob horrible in his last years too. It makes me mad too.
I am against a Stevie controlled Mac tour with bringing her solo favorites.

Stevie refuses to record with Fleetwood mac but she does not get fired. The double standard is pretty obscene.

How sad and shameful. You’d think a group of folks in their 60’s and 70’s could get it together enough to either grit their teeth and get through a tour or make a collective decision to call it a day. Either action would have shown respect for their fans.

This doesn’t surprise me though because FM hasn’t been a band for 30+ years.

I could maybe buy the argument that FM has always had done different iterations etc., but this isn’t a case of the band wanted to take a different musical turn, it’s simply they grabbed two musicians who were available so they could make some coins.

I don’t know why anyone would spend their money on this farce. It just gives positive reinforcement to bulls@it behavior.
