"Rumours" about a Fleetwood Mac episode of Glee?

Apparently, the "rumours" are true as of last night!

Part of me in wanting Silver Springs to be included in the episode, but I'm terrified they'd bastardize it! You don't mess with the holy grail!

WOW--I really didn't think it would happen--so excited. Having a whole Mac epi should really stir up tween interest--I hope they take advantage of it!

I don't want them to touch Silver Springs (nor do I think they will). No one but Stevie should sing that song, and especially not high school kids. But while there's no way they'll match any of the original versions, I'm excited to see what they'll do with them.

wow that is pretty exciting. i have only watched glee a few times but the fact that they would be doing the entire album could be really cool. just think how many more copies of rumours would be sold around the world. its too bad that fm doesnt have anything in the works because this could get them right back into the spotlight.

Despite the fact that the only episode of Glee I have watch that I did not FF through all the singing parts was the Rock Horror episode, I know the show well enough to know that not just the teenagers sing the songs. I could see one of the adults singing it. There are enough love triangles on that show and break ups that I think an adult could pull it off. Since Rumours is mostly about break ups and revenge against ex-lovers I think High School romance works. I mean, how many "exes" did everyone here have in High School? at least 1 a month?

I watch Glee every week, and love the show. I could totally see this happening, and it would be great!

If it focused on the actual Rumours album, I wouldn't expect Silver Springs to be used anyway, since it's only on the expanded version.

While Stevie's songs would be fun, it would be Lindsey's material that I think would be more exciting to watch.

This could be interesting.

Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, Songbird, and I Don't Wanna Know, are the songs I think they would do.

Maybe Silver Springs or Never Going Back Again, as well.

I can't see them doing Second Hand News, The Chain, Oh Daddy, You Make Loving Fun or Gold Dust Woman, I'd say Oh Daddy and Gold Dust Woman are the least likely ones, actually.

I could definitely see The Chain... it's already got the tight harmony in the verses for them to work with, and the whole thing - never break the chain - could be interpreted for the Glee Club as well.

I could see them attempting Gold Dust Woman. Not Oh Daddy, yeah...

I think it's most likely that they'll go with Dreams, Go Your Own Way (Finn would probably sing this, even though I really think he shouldn't), Don't Stop, and I could see Puck doing Never Going Back Again.

Also I have a sinking feeling that they WILL give Rachel 'Silver Springs' (despite it not being on the actual album, it's well known and the story about it not getting on the album could definitely be reflected in the storyline) which upsets me only because I don't care to see anyone other than Stevie sing that song, ever.

I can totally see that Cory guy doing Second Hand News.

This is fantastic for FM...get their name out their and then they can start another record towards the end of the year !!

well, if this happens you can thank Stevie for once again promoting the band, and fighting for their legacy, because god knows Lindsey or Mick won't do that

WildHearted · #10 03-17-2011, 11:06 AM

I guess this is intended for this season? They only have like 4 more episodes this season that we don't already know details/titles for etc... so I was kind of hoping that it might be an idea for season 3, which would give FM a little more time to get back in the studio and maybe start working on something so as to use this to their advantage... however, since he says that they've started writing it, I guess it must be for one of the last four episodes of the season.

Anyone thought of the possibility of a cameo? We all know it'd most likely be Stevie... but it would be cool if they could get one (or more) of the others to do it too (save for Christine who obviously would never).

I don't want Fleetwood Mac to get back together. Without Christine it's not the same at all. Might as well get the Buckingham Nicks album out there and do another solo project. Fleetwood Mac is over and the touring needs to stop. They don't need the money and when I saw them last year, Stevie looked liked she could barely get through it.

Mick won't do it? The man resurrects the cash cow any damn chance he gets.

Why didn't he push through the 2009 Rumours Box Set?

What happened to his 1998 Rarities Box Set? That's where Maureen Loftus got ALL her stuff from, a guy who was working with Mick on that neverhappened box set.

Resurrecting a dead band isn't the same. Finding ways of getting younger audiences to listen to your music is different.

Well, personally I would have no qualms if FM wanted to do another album or tour, at all. But that's hardly what the topic of the thread is about. I was just saying that FM could use this to their advantage if they wanted to.

So does the fact that they got the rights to Rumours mean that they couldn't do Silver Springs, as it wasn't on the album?

I wonder who would be singing leads on the song. Also, I'm assuming since their basing the whole episode around the album... it will include a whole bunch of references and/or be themed around the infamous breakups etc and just the whole situation regarding the recording of the album. Which I'm sure mostFM fans are tired of hearing by now, but let's be honest - people love drama and people who aren't fans and haven't heard the drama would probably be pulled in by it all..
