New FM Article on SYW

strandinthewind · #1 03-30-2003, 08:53 AM

I saw this March 29, 2003 article from "The Globe and Mail" on www.burnish.net (many, many thanks to them for posting it!)

http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/...=fleetwood+mac

It has new info. I think the most interesting quote is from LB to wit:

"I think Stevie is seeing part of this record through some dark colours right now," hints Buckingham later in the afternoon, "only because towards the end we had some conflicts about running order and some other things, and she hasn't quite been able to come out the other end and say, 'Wow, this is really something!'

"I think it's hard for her to feel the catharsis that I'm feeling, and that Mick is feeling . . . it's been hard for her to turn and say, 'Gee, nice job, Lindsey -- thanks for working on my songs for an entire year.' But having said that, which really only speaks of maybe how difficult it got near the end, the whole thing was pretty great."

Okay, I am dying to know what conflicts in running order and other conflicts. This reminds me of the whole "Silver Springs" being left off of Rumors!!!! Also, other than the death of friend, could this be why she has looked pissed off in the AOL and other interviews and non-responsive to LB's nudging?

Thanks for passing this info on, it´s an insightful interview. I think there always will be this tension between Lindsey and Stevie, obviously they can´t live with or without each other! It probably is the essence of that special chemistry between them!

Well obviously they are rehearsing Dreams, so they won´t leave that one out of the setlist. Which could have been done in my opinion, they have plenty of other great songs to choose from.

Here´s hoping they will keep recording albums after this one, they should have enough material to fill another album, since Say You Will was originally going to be a double cd, I read that in the Guitar Player interview with Lindsey. The reporter heard it and commented how he hoped the songs Not Make Believe, Gift Of Screws and I Am Waiting (is this another Stones cover, I believe it´s from their 1966 Aftermath album) would also make the final cut.

Greetz,

After everything that they've been through together, after everything they've done to put the past behind them and move forward, after all the happiness between them nowadays...Stevie is going to be a pain in the arse over the running order? LB always has a method to his madness, trust the guy, dammit. Her running order on TISL was terrible, I wouldn't trust her to come up with it on the new record. Kinda childish. Oh well, I still can't wait for the album!!!!

wetcamelfood · #6 03-30-2003, 10:38 AM

Well, I'm not saying anyone should think like me on this or anything and I AM looking forward to the new record and all and I had a hunch this kind of stuff might come up and it's JMHO, BUT... I get the feeling this may be one in a series of "publicity stunts" (for lack of a better phrase) to get people to think that it's like the "good ol' tension filled "Rumours" days" so they'll think the music on SYW will be as "strong" as it was on "Rumours" and maybe it will be as I haven't heard any of the SYW stuff yet myself but I personally am not going to let stuff like this sway me one way or the other.

I AM glad many of you like the article though.

Well, Stevie said she sequenced Rumors and that was pretty stunning - So . . . .

Not to mention Bella Donna.

Oooooh, I didn't know that! LOL You learn something new everyday! But...what went wrong with TISL?!?!?! And the sequencing to OSOTM and Street Angel were pretty rancid, too. I don't know, I just trust LB more with stuff like that.

...A string of temporary musicians would come and go...

AGAIN Bob Welch's contributions have gone from "underappreciated" to being called a "temporary musician" and grouping him in with the Walker's, Brunning's & Weston's of the band and, worse yet, not even mentioning him by NAME!

Severe blow to the credibility of this author.

HOWEVER:

"...no midnight creeping from door-to-door and sleeping with each other..."

I'd say that's a less than veiled admission to our intrigue whether Lindsey & Christine ever "did it".

Thanks for posting the article!

It could also just be a reference to Mick's own sneaking around with Stevie.

Then there was the night they were so loaded it was (1) John and Lindsey (2) John and Mick (3) Lindsey and Mick

I'm glad she's pissed off... They can take it out on each other on the tour. Always good fun.

Can I ask how you would have the running order for TISL besides how it already is? Because I think the album flows the most smoothly the way it is, and I've tried many different variations.

Tusk57 · #15 03-30-2003, 08:10 PM

I personally think an album's running order is overrated. I don't care what the order is. I take each song on an individual basis. Just so long as the songs make it onto the album...that's the important thing. If Stevie is upset about another "Silver Springs" episode, then I'm with her all the way. As far as the band not being ready for the road, I don't buy it. They played the old songs with no problems in 1997 after not playing together since 1982. The new songs are the ones I would concentrate on, or the old songs that weren't included on the Reunion Tour that they plan on doing this time around. Can you say "Sisters of the Moon"?!!
