New Audio Christine/Lindsey Interview

welcomechris · #1 05-08-2014, 01:48 PM

Here she is

Christine's

"There's a whole variety of songs, starting from sort of blues-based songs to very commercial songs, really. It's very, very exciting and very, very...I don't know. We get chills when we hear them."

Lindsey's

"There was never really any intention to try and finish this album and put it out to promote on this particular tour that we're about to embark upon because we all felt that maybe the smart call was to go out and have the novelty of Christine being back in the band be the cleaner and more to-the-point place to start, and so to go out and just re-include her songs in the body of work and have that be pretty much the presentation of that set seemed to be the right thing to do, and then to come back and when we're done with that (tour) and finish this up with Stevie, who has...assured us she will be ready to do that then. And then we'll have something to gout and promote with some new music. So it becomes sort of a long-term plan, so we're all very excited."

I have to say, this newly revealed timeline makes me extremely nervous. This is the same thing we've been hearing Fleetwood Mac say for the past 5 years. "Tour first, album later." The touring part always happens, but the album never does. I realize the situation is 'different' this time with Christine's return, John's illness, etc... but when it comes to Fleetwood Mac's promises, it's "all the same."

Listen, They've Been Recording For 2 Months And Have 8 Songs. They Have 7/8 Songs From Last Year. The Album Will Come Late 2014 - Early 2015

interesting. she will be ready to do that then. as opposed to? now or when they first wanted?

i wonder whether this new quote from Lindsey actually came after the Billboard interview? if so, that would mean Billboard interview worked similarly to Mick's Playboy interview, and shortly after it was shared the band received the call with the actual date when she'll join them.

i guess we'll know whether there is just one really long interview or there are several in a day or two when all different snippets come out.

of course this date is much later than i was hoping to hear. and there Lindsey goes again with yet another justification of a yet another greatest hits tour.

He really has changed his tune a bit. Lindsey was always all about new music in HiS tours. I will say I most likely will miss this tour. If the new music is released prior to the tour I may try to get a last minute ticket to the DC show. If not, this will be one of the first MAC tours I will miss in over 30 years. I WANT NEW MUSIC!

I think they'll perform a new song(s) like they did in 2013. Not all hits. I'm excited to hear the 7 or so songs Christine will perform!

I'm so starved for hearing Christine again that even just hearing that short snippet of her speaking made me happy

Whatever happens, we are getting live Christine at the end of the year, and I'm dang happy about that!!

music new to the setlist, but not new music in the sense of newly-written stuff.

Well, there is for ONCE and for all clear who's the artdirector of this band.

MacMan · #10 05-08-2014, 06:41 PM

Who knows... Maybe they'll road test some of the new tunes during the tour prior to recording them... Could happen.

you mean prior to releasing them, like they did with Sad Angel last year?

unless you figure 16 songs is not enough yet and they should keep recording more

... seems that if Stevie adds 4, 20 songs would be just right for that double album.

I'd take 20! Although I bet at the end of the day (or year, as it is), Stevie will contribute more than 4 songs.

"There was never really any intention to try and finish this album and put it out to promote on this particular tour that we're about to embark upon because we all felt that maybe the smart call was to go out and have the novelty of Christine being back in the band be the cleaner and more to-the-point place to start, and so to go out and just re-include her songs in the body of work and have that be pretty much the presentation of that set seemed to be the right thing to do, and then to come back and when we're done with that (tour) and finish this up with Stevie, who has...assured us she will be ready to do that then.

If only this was revealed a few weeks ago, it could have possibly prevented a lot of unwarranted blame on a certain band member.

My guess is that it wasn't "revealed" a few weeks ago because the assurance didn't exist a few weeks ago.

yup. let's face it, this came out just yesterday:

"We haven't finished what we've done here," McVie explains. "these are just tracks with some overdubs, and they're certainly not finished. I go back to England now until the beginning of rehearsals, which is the end of July, and then we're rehearsing and then we're touring, so we won't really have time to (finish the songs). There's some talk about some time next year. Fleetwood Mac always take a long time to make a record -- you know what."

Buckingham concurs, though he acknowledges that there may be a bit of clamor for the new music once word of the sessions leaks out, which may effect the timetable for the material's release. "We want to plant some seeds of awareness about what we're doing," he says. "We won't want to pretend it doesn't exist. We're very proud of it, and we do want to get the word out. But we'll have to see how much clamor there is by the time we get into rehearsal and we have some time to let these seeds grow and see what kind of interest there is. That may inform our decisions one way or the other."

they are all over the map with their timetable with Christine saying release will be maybe some time in 2015, and then Lindsey jumping in with, or maybe earlier, if there's clamor. how much earlier than 2015 can it be??
