Do you guys think Mick is mad at Stevie?

I mean she nixed the tour with the Eagles to make a record. She's the one who stopped it. We all know Mick loves money. He's got some projects on the side but he doesn't get any songwriting royalties. He has to tour. I doubt Lindsey cares at all because of all his producing and writing royalties. But I can just see Mick mad as hell.

You do know that he is playing drums on at least half the songs on In Your Dreams?

He is essentailly the Daffy Duck of rock and roll

For someone that loves $ so much he has been bankrupt twice.I think Christine is actually the most parsimonious of the Rumours 5.

I think Stevis getting the most songwriting royalties because of Landslide and her solo stuff. I thought Christine sold her rights to a bank. I wonder how many times Christine will bail him out. I know she has given him money before.

According to his book she only kicked in 50gs which was a drop in the bucket.Christine spent way less than Stevie but since 1998 she has been earning way less too.I doubt Chris has much interaction at all with Mick these days.

Stevie has the entire band by their gonads. They can't afford to get mad at her. Stevie and her management have wranged 40% of touring royalties for her... Lindsey gets 30% and Mick and John each get 15%. Everyone in Fleetwood Mac knows that their success rides on Stevie's presence. So even if Mick were spitting mad, he could never show it. I'm also guessing Stevie hasn't wanted anything to do with Fleetwood Mac since before SYW was released. That's why she's looked so miserable during the past 2 Mac tours. But I'm guessing the reason she keeps her association with the Mac is so Mick and John can get paychecks. She knows they rely on her. Mick is probably still thanking his lucky stars that Fleetwood Mac got 82 dates with Stevie in '09.

If Stevie said this who is she kidding she loves Money just like the rest of the world besides mick and you can tell by the ticket prices to Stevie Nicks concerts she loves money too we all do if we can make it. Music today is not about the artistic of it anymore its about how much we can make. It's not the 60's,70's and 80's where its about the music.

Exactly.

Stevie is as bad as Mick on the money front. She certainly spends a lot more than any other Mac member these days I'm sure.

I reckon Christine and John were probably the most sensible money wise.

I had no clue that she gets 40%. Are you freaking kidding me? That is news.

Also, I would say that Stevie really has not liked Fleetwood Mac since Christine left. Touring is harder on her and it's not the same. She loved Christine liked a sister. Plus, she doesn't tend to embrace change.

mitzo · #11 03-13-2011, 06:50 AM

40%! So that means she made how much from the Unleashed tour?

I agree. I think when Christine left, a "light went out" for Stevie. It will never be the same for her and it definitely has shown on stage since 2003.

"Christine has been gone since 1998 so I have been the only girl in this band for a long, long time. I’m used to it now. At first I was not used to it. After ‘The Dance’ was horrifying for me. She has been gone a long time and I’m fine with it now”. - Stevie, 2009

At this moment in time, to the masses, Stevie Nicks IS Fleetwood Mac. And I think she knows it. Sure, they could make a record or tour without her, but they all know that, rightly or wrongly, it wouldn't sell as well. I think TISL and SYW sold pretty much the same amount? So, to me, that says it all. For most, Stevie is still very much the star attraction of the band.

Mick might be mad at her, but he's certainly not going to upset his cash cow.

Besides, I thought the Eagles tour with... was it the Dixie Chicks who ended up going on tour with them? Flopped majorly. So, if anything, Mick should be glad that Stevie stopped that trainwreck from happening.

Not a smart way to court their wal-mart fanbase!
