Mick on new podcast this Sunday

[tango87]

Mick is the forthcoming guest on the Rockonteurs podcast, presented by Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, and Guy Pratt, super session bassist. It looks like he’ll be covering familiar ground - hopes for hatchet-burying, new music with Lindsey etc:

Thank you for finding this!

Did Mick say "it almost makes me cry"?!

I would actually like Mick and Lindsey to do an album. I'd be fine with a group with Mick, Neil, Mike, LB, and John.

I think Mike is actually happier doing his stuff with The Knobs and producing artists. Plus he could restart the Heartbreakers with Eddie Vedder or another young singer.

Neil's got his Crowded House album out this week and a European Tour in 2022 so he'll probably promote this album all of '22.

I'd love for Lindsey and Mick (John if willing) to play in studio this year. Stevie's doing her festivals this year so Mick can do what he wants.

Yes, I believe he did...

He also said ‘we don’t do things like that’ about the idea of getting rid of Neil and Mike - erm, yes you do, Mick...

You'd hope an interviewer would say "What about Rick and Billy?"

If only they had the b***s to say that.

These interviews with Mick and the one with Neil make Stevie out to be alone on an island.

Mick's totally left the anti-Lindsey narrative.

Bob Welch did control his own fate. Which I respect.

I was speaking in connection to Lindsey's parting co. with FM.
They, Rick and Billy, weren't chosen for the 97 tour, nor where they chosen for 2018 tour. Sad.

no.

Lindsey needs to release and tour his solo album this year.

Mick and Lindsey and Chris and whoever else can go into studio in parallel or after that, but Lindsey is 71 and there is no time to waste. he needs to tour his new music (that's been in the can for 3 + years and is old by now) asap.

as far as FM, apparently if FM would re-unite with Lindsey, they would be considered as a worthy act for Desert Trip 2 - and as that would be a one-off and full circle bringing Lindsey back into Fleetwood Mac, something like that would work fine for everything and everyone (except Stevie of course, who wants to make sure FM is SN, and not the 5 and not LB) - Lindsey back in FM and the legacy, plus no time wasting on FM anymore -

Five Years Later, Could There Be A Desert Trip 2? If So, Here Is The Perfect Lineup With Springsteen, Paul Simon, Dolly And More

Other possible artists:

While that is my ideal Desert Trip 2 there are a lot of other options. For instance if the festival wanted to stay strictly '70s Fleetwood Mac, with Lindsey Buckingham, would qualify as an event. Likewise Black Sabbath doing a final show with Ozzy Osbourne, and sharing the stage that night with AC/DC or Aerosmith, would be a great '70s rock night. Another long shot like R.E.M. but one that would be incredible Abba, who do have new music promised for 2021. Diana Ross is an option, as are the Eagles.

Of course when talking about the greatest artists of the '70s Elton John and Billy Joel both near the top of the list. And one big reason I didn't list them above is they both still play out frequently and have toured together, so wouldn't have the same event feel as Wonder and Simon or U2 and R.E.M.. But obviously would be an incredible night of hits from two icons.

If R.E.M. reuniting, admittedly a big long shot, is not an option, a reunited Police or Talking Heads both would be equally big and perfect to share a stage with U2 on night three.

Lastly year one saw Roger Waters representing Pink Floyd so why couldn't Robert Plant, who does perform Zeppelin songs, and does so brilliantly, fly the flag as a solo performer? There's no reason he couldn't. And it would be nice for both he and the audience to see the greatest frontman in the history of rock back in that big a spotlight.

So, as you can see there are a lot of artists and combos that, five years later, could make a second Desert Trip a historic event in its own right. Now hopefully it happens.

I don't think they'd do Desert Trip. The Classic was Live Nation's counter to Desert Trip.

I think they should do Coachella proper, not OldChella

yep and far less successful or iconic. but you're right, as long as FM is under Azoff's thumb, they'll do his new venue for old people that's opening end of 2022 instead.

FM buried their right to do anything that's not oldies related back after they never did an album of new music after then one that came out 18 years ago. Oldchella is too good for them but ok.
