What glue is he sniffing?

Yeah, this is the kind of bizarre crap that baffles and annoys the **** out of me. Does he really think more people are going to buy his ****ty wine than FM's concert DVDs? They need to get some of these concerts out on DVD, and remaster Mirage and Tango in the Night, and Stevie's first 3 solo albums (she said they were going to do that, too...I'm still waiting).

Stevie is the one I want to slap the hell out of most, but all of them seriously need to wake the f*ck up.

if you maybe took out the 'crap **** like Live In Boston' comment it's really not too bad....I wonder what he'd say to all that.

It's not a bad question minus the aforementioned comment. I think he'd pretty much confirm the too many chiefs theory with repect to FM.

exactly. it makes me wonder if those bitching the most about no DVD from Stevie's Aussie tour are the same ones who'd bitch about how crappy it was if it were actually released.

I think that's a big part of the reason I'm actually not complaining about the DVD debacle; I expected to be underwhelmed by it if and when it was released, so I'm not at all disappointed that the project isn't coming to fruition.

Like I've said before, I NEVER believe anything Fleetwood Mac or Stevie is coming out until I see it on the shelves. BTW I respectfully disagree with PenguinHead about Live in Boston. I loved it, as well as the Destiny Rules Documentary. Come to think of it, in the last 4 years there have been a fair share of releases related to Fleetwood Mac.

2002-Mick Fleetwood Story

2004-Destiny Rules

2004- Live In Boston

2005-Lindsey's soundstage

I wouldnt say that's too shabby, especially since we waited so long for ANYTHING.

then I am ever so grateful it will not happen as well.

I agree with paleshadow that the matter should be put to John.
If you remember, when he started answering the questions from the board he seemed to know nothing about the level of interest in the band on the Internet. Now he seems really keen to answer more questions.
Perhaps if he knew how much fans wanted certain products he would be willing to help.
Even if he is not able to do much himself, i think he would pass it on to those who can.

I agree...ask him...see what he says.

Yeah, maybe he'd say "hey, you self absorbed a-holes, hush up for a minute and look at what you could be doing if you stopped wankering around. Look at what our fans would buy - is there any reason we couldn't do this? Besides the fact that none of you has thought of something so obvious? Mick, you greedy self promoting bastard, surely you could get behind this! Yeah, Stevie, that dreamcatcher is awesome, but right now your fans are 'dreaming' for remasters of your albums and some live shows!"

Yeah. I'm sure John would get right on that.

Does anybody know anything about this wine Mick was peddling? Is it like Thunderbird or Wild Irish Rose?

I'm not disappointed because there are bigger things in life to be upset about.

Pardon me Sharon I did miss that one.

I'm think I have leave it up to Penguinhead, as he broached the topic to begin with.

Maybe it can be rephrased a bit? Maybe it can just be signed 'desperate fans from the Ledge' LOL....Surely there has to be a way to get this point across to him....'sow the seed' as someone said. what the heck, it can't hurt.

During the first Q&A a couple years ago, he did request some questions that 'weren't so flattering'-- so I don't think he'd be insulted by honest expressions of frustration. And if he wants to skip it, he can skip it, big deal.

whatever you guys wanna do.....

I'm not really sure if it's the band, the management, or probably both. I don't know. But whoever makes these decisions, are making crappy ones. You're right, it is discouraging when young/new acts without near as huge a following as band like Fleetwood Mac put out way more DVD releases than them. It's not that expensive to package up a DVD and put it out there. Surely they KNOW fans want it, and would buy it. I agree also if they arent going to record anytime soon, why not atleast take advantage of the situation and release a bunch of old DVD's that we've been dying for.

Why does it have to be Mick or John or Stevie at all? It wasn't a member of the band that got the reissues out. It wasn't the band members who said, "Hey, let's release a concert for HBO & home video." It wasn't the band members who put together the 5.1 package for Rumours. It wasn't Stevie who initiated & implemented the idea of releasing her short-form videos from '81 to '86 on home video. These projects get activated & carried out by other people--probably record execs (the 5.1 thing of Rumours was the pet project of one of the band's old engineers). And those are the guys who might have no interest in repackaging Fleetwood's old stuff. All the band probably does is just initial a contract somewhere, if that.
