MFBB Conspiracy Theory

As for being over the current lineup, it isn't anything against Stevie (or even Lindsey for that matter) it is just that we need to move on and evolve. I think perhaps Lindsey wouldn't fit in with the return to the blues for FM but I do think that Stevie could.

For once I'd like to hear something new from FM. We moved on from Lindsey and Stevie, we are only going backwards now...

I personally liked albums like Behind the Mask. It was a whole new feel, and I didn't particularly mind Time (although I thought Christine dragged that down (so sue me)).

MFBB could quite realistically become, if not the new FM, certainly the replacement for it, but I would like to see John McVie in there, if only for sentimental reasons.

Honestly I think we're on the same page here, but I'd disagree with the moving backward part.

I think if this "conspiracy theory" actually pans out, there's potential for a whole new wave of Mac music, albeit in a blues genre. I think they will continue to pay tribute to older Mac tracks from the PG era, but supplement or even outnumber those with new music from Rick and potentially other contributers, Stevie included.

If Lindsey, Stevie, Billy, Bekka, Peter (??????), Jeremy, Danny (???), Christine (??????????) contributed either songs or strictly vocals to further MFBB or Mac projects, I'm totally cool with that.

I totally loved "Behind the Mask"!! It's honestly one of my favourite Mac albums. I liked the back and forth between multiple singers like Christine, Stevie, Billy and Rick. It was great. "As Long As You Follow", while not being from that album, is one of my favourite songs.

I honestly think that the Mac wasted a great opportunity when Rick and Billy left the band. They could have gone a lot further and made a lot of great music together. Bekka did okay but I just never saw her as a long term member of the Mac. I liked her contributions to "Time" though. She sounds great (and isn't hard on the eyes either!!).

Don't know if you ever heard John's one off album "John McVie's Gotta Band" but the singer from there is fantastic too. Her name is Lola Thomas and she's got a great bluesy voice.

Having gotten my copy of "Blue Again", I can honestly say that I love the line up of that band. They sound great!! It is a tribute to the original Mac, while not being just a copy. They update the music while keeping it blues at the same time. It's new arrangements of the old songs, along with Rick's material and the combination is fantastic. I really hope Mick wasn't pulling our legs when he's said that this is going to be a continuing project. I want this to keep going reeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy bad!!!! I love it!!

We need to let Mick know about this. Anyone with any suggestions on how??
