Christine McVie....NEVER FORGET

**mylittledemon** · #1 04-20-2004, 04:03 PM

Hey guys...I was listening to Tusk today and I've fallen in love with "Never Forget." Its one of those songs I've just now "come around" to. I love the vocals, the sweetness of it, and all three of the band members singing "It'll be alright" at the end. Great tune. I miss Christine McVie on this tour!

It puzzles me that...she's putting out a new record outside of the context of Fleetwood Mac. She could've put it out with a larger audience by just joining Fleetwood Mac on Say You Will. I can understand her not touring though.

I guess she had the guts to do it on her own, unlike Lindsey!

Two very different situations, Christopher... and let's not start another fight.

I'll go on record as saying that, if at some point in the future the current members of Fleetwood Mac decide they don't want to tour anymore, I have a feeling we just might get another album from the "five fireflies."
But until then, I wouldn't expect any involvement from Christine, other than a guest appearance.

And I agree, mylittledemon, "Never Forget" is a great song. The three-part harmonies at the end, are my favorite part as well.

Well I'm just one of those people that like to see them put out material as the "classic five" lineup. Although, I guess, getting solo albums is better than nothing.

As far as having guts, I think its GREAT what Lindsey did with this album. Hell, in the SYW documentary he was fighting for makiing a double album. They are all old enough (& smart) to know the album doesnt make them money, he was doing it for the art. Putting out a double album when today's music business says that's not smart...now that takes guts! Anyways...sorry to get my rocks off there....I thought we were originally talking about "Never Forget"?!?! haha

It was more than touring, it was about money as well. And yes it did take guts for her to release a solo album w/o FM. As it would have for LB.

I'm "one of those people" who'd like to see them put out material with the Mystery To Me or Then Play On or Bare Trees lineups, but I'm not pining away and holding my breath.

"Never Forget", along with "Brown Eyes", are the two best Christine songs on Tusk (to my ears).

I'm not holding my breath or "pining" about it. I made that comment because of the fact that Christine is releasing a solo record, when I feel it would've been better received under the Fleetwood Mac moniker. AND...then all us fans could've enjoyed another "classic" Mac album.

Chili, I'm just holding my breath for re-masters in the BWelch era. I have this funny feeling they won't get done, but I'm praying.

Those are my favorites as well. Then, believe it or not, "Honey Hi."

I've always loved Never Forget. I think Christine's vocals followed by the group's is so sweet and a perfect way to end the album. I sure haven't forgotten the first night I heard Tusk!

I love "Never Forget". It's just another terrific Christine McVie song from Tusk. It's a perfect way to end the album. I like "Honey Hi", but I LOVE her other Tusk songs. "Brown Eyes" & "Think About Me" are my favorites. But I think that piano/demo unreleased version of "Never Make Me Cry" is even better.

Hawkeye · #14 04-20-2004, 07:16 PM

GREAT song although I prefer Over and Over, Brown Eyes, and Honey Hi.

Agreed. Which makes me wonder if there was some publicly unspoken rift in the band with Chris. It's more than a little odd, IMO, that she'd retire, then release an album.
BTW, which I'm EAGERLY anticipating!

God damn I love her. From day one. She was the balance.
