What i don't get is that she mentioned doing 11 solo albums, but including the Soundstage CD, that's only 10, so where is she getting 11 from??

I was thinking the same thing! Perhaps she is including Buckingham Nicks? Or perhaps she's including "The Divine..." European hits collection? I think it's rather pathetic when you have almost as many hits collections as you have studio albums.

I seriously doubt Stevie and Lindsey would be sitting next to each other solving crossword puzzles. But it would be so cool if they used this opportunity to get up there with a few instruments and spend some quality time composing. Ah... one could only dream...

The interesting thing is, as much as they were supposed to have fought during the making of Say You Will, the Destiny Rules doc clearly shows them sitting right next to each other on that monster 737 they chartered. Seems when they get along, they're good friends who have been through everything over the past 40+ years. When it's ugly... it's ugly!

or maybe she's suffering from early dementia...

There were so many things in this interview that made me either lol, roll my eyes, or both, I lost count.

That reminds me of something that always made me laugh was that old tour footage we have where they're on the plane and Lindsey comes in with Carol Ann and Stevie is musing about whether he should be in first class or not. He goes and sits right in back of her. Couldn't he have found a seat on the other side of the plane?

Hey I wonder what the cover of this Rumours reissue thing will look like. I hope we get some new photo for that. Even if it's an old one, I hope it's one of the band we haven't seen before.

This blog article had all of the same stuff, but I think this quote from Stevie was one I hadn't seen:http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/0...m-yes-to-tour/

“We’re going to get through this tour before deciding what to do with an album.”

[BTFLCHLD]

Stevie's "uniform"...she could update that a little while still incorporating some of her siggy looks.

"Stevie [Nicks] and I had a go-round on this," said usually reticent bassist John McVie. "I don’t think there was any thought of us being stifled or held back."

YEA! JOHN!!

When it was my turn to pose a question, I asked if the musicians if they were aware of the ticket scalping. The generally cordial exchange grew tense. Singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham said the practice "was a pretty typical thing," adding that "Irving Azoff was quoted in the paper as being against that" and that Azoff, who is part of Fleetwood Mac's management team, "will make sure that kind of thing didn’t happen."

Azoff speaks out both sides of his mouth...further evident with the recent happs...Lindsey, turnaround and RUN!

Going on the road without a new album to promote "frees you up to enjoy each other as people," said Buckingham. "Let’s have a good time and value the friendships and history ... It takes the pressure off ... and allows more fun than we would normally be able to have."

Added Buckingham: "Knowing that we did not succeed as well as we could have last time we did an album and tour together and on a personal level ... we have something to shoot for that is a little higher. ... We are a group of contradictions ... [but] the whole being greater than the sum of its parts."

"Lindsey's been in incredibly good humor since we started rehearsing on the 5th of January," Nicks reported. "When Lindsey’s in a good humor, everybody’s happy. Our only problem is that our rehersal time has been messed with a little bit" by family matters.

Buckingham also said at another point, "Unity is waiting in the wings."

yep, def

Yeah.. it's pathetic to release as many greatest hits albums as you do solo albums..



It's even more pathetic to be discussing it on a fan board.. but hey, that's life.

LOL. Even that "fight" wasn't really a fight. In the end, they were saying the exact same thing - they just weren't LISTENING to each other...

[michelej1]

So, who is the guitarist who used to say "unleash the hounds" and why didn't Mick mention him by name? Couldn't remember?

So, in their efforts to curb costs, will they still take separate limos to and from the airports and hotels? Couldn't they ride together? Or couldn't they use Priuses?

They ride in the jet and everyone else will bus it. I am waiting for her to say "Let them eat cake"

Linds trashing the SYW experience. Guys come on you all made a gazillion bucks, we all have to put up with "difficult" people and situations in the work place but do not get paid what you all do, seriously they need to stop whining.

What was so wrong with SYW? Did they expect it to really sell?? Are they (LB) talking out of both sides of their (his) mouth by praising Tusk because it wasn't a "Rumours II" and not selling a gazillion (to borrow a term from Stevie) copies ... and yet totally dissatisfied with the numbers from SYW? I don't get it. I think SYW is a great work. They should be proud of it. Stevie's menopause must have sucked big time for LB to be complaining about that tour now...

Pretty much, yeah.
