And the rest of the band usually has someone waiting on the backburner, in case the person really does leave.

Absolutely. Back in 1999, I wanted to leave Mirage for months. I groused plenty, & was generally a pain in the ass to the other people, probably. Finally they called one last rehearsal before a showcase in Las Vegas, which I didn't think we needed because we had just played a full weekend in Stateline, so I didn't show up to rehearsal. I e-mailed them & said I had decided to stay home & cook Shake 'n' Bake chicken. They e-mailed me back that night after their rehearsal & said "You can stay home & cook chicken when we go to Vegas, too."

I think with Bob Welch & everyone else who ever left Fleetwood Mac (unless he was canned, like Danny & Weston) did so over the course of many months. It wasn't just a snap decision (except in Jeremy's case, but somebody brainwashed him). It was a lot of hemming & hawing & making the other members practically beg for you to stay (which isn't a good idea).

Wow I didn't know you played in Mirage cool. Oh and Jeremy getting brainwashed - what a scary story there!

Stevie Nicks: I am funny.[laughs] I crack up my band constantly. I could have been a comedian if I'd really wanted to. In Fleetwood Mac, I was pretty much told to be quiet at all times. I was so intimidated because I didn't feel like anybody wanted me to be in the band and that they only wanted Lindsey[Buckingham] and me along for the ride.


This quote is from 94. Funny how things have changed. I am starting to see what alot of Ledgies are saying about how she is always saying different things and contradicting herself.
