In other words, La Nicks and Mick have said it was a big deal, the band never discussed it, if she failed it could hurt FM, etc. I do not recall any talk like that about LB.

Because he brought out a solorecord for the right reasons. This material would have never seen the light on a Mac/album after Tusk. The major part of Bella Donna was vintage Macstuff. She was the focal point of the band and did it to show that she didn´t need the band...not nice. He brought out a solo/album because he couldn´t bring it to the band...not nice from the band. Who´s missing the point here, dude.
