Chances of a LB solo album.

How many say this will happen? Are we ever going to see it or are we getting shafted once again?

Well I do believe that he really plans to do it now.
But I only believe it really happening if I am holding my copy of it in my greedy hands. For the record: If it gets released I don`t see it happen before 2006. And I surely hope I am wrong!

Who would release it? Who would want to release it? It's a sure-fire 45,000 seller.

After playing guitar in front of screaming, adoring fans for 14 months, Lindsey undoubtedly thinks his fanbase has grown by leaps & bounds. So the bug to release solo music has bitten him once again (I bet we'll hear him say, "It's the best music I've ever done" . . . again).

I think it's a premature sense of capability affecting Fleetwood Mac. Big, splashy, successful tours can instill all sorts of false hopes in you -- whether you're the fan or the performer.

It sounded to me like he's excited to have new material again after getting past a certain period of writer's block. Had the band been ready to go back into the studio this Fall, it sounded to me like he actually would have been fine with putting that material toward FM. But they probably won't be, so he's working toward something solo.

Will we get it? Don't know. Hope springs eternal.

I think he would do it. David is that correct 45k for his albums? Wow I thought it would be even more.

My guess would be no. He doesn't even have a record label to release his solo stuff right now.

I totally believe him when he says that he's had a LOT of inspiration over the past year (touring around the world tends to do that to someone), and if/when we get this material will be on the final Fleetwood Mac album they have yet to complete to satisfy their contract with Warner Bros./Reprise.

50 50 - I think he has a significant number of songs completed. If he can finish the new material by Dec. then yes. If not, I think he will wait for Stevie to do her stiff and then have her come back and they will do another FM record in style and comfort. of course, they will be in their 60's or coming up on it by then LOL. In the end, who knows. But, I sure hope he does.

I hope he does! But who knows...

Well, everything DOES happen in cycles, there, David. And, organically, too. Isn't that weird?

Yeah, but also I think that some Mac fans who saw the show, who never previously got a Lindsey solo CD, (me) would definitely consider buying one now. I wish he had one to release ASAP, like within 6 months or less, then i think it WOULD sell better. But since he'll probably take forever....but i will still buy it and i don't have any other Lindsey solo. But i don't have any Stevie solo from the 80's either. Which is mainly a matter of economics. But i would definitely get Lindsey's.

I have my hopes...

I think Lindsey will most likely release a solo album, THEN do another Mac album. It's that or he'll just mesh it all together into another Mac album. At this point, its not about the record sales, its about getting the music out there. Kind of like what Christine just did with "In the Meantime." You know? I feel its just a matter of time, what with his family getting older. He's got 3 kids now and his 3rd is a newborn.
