I missed Christine in SYW, maybe some folks out there feel otherwise, and its no slight to the rest of the band, especially Lindsey and Stevie, but I just didn't enjoy the album as much as I might have had Christine wrote and performed on it.

Making Chris sitting on the first row is a plan to continue the emotions and dynamics of Fleetwood Mac. No band in history has put the string of years together with this love and hate between each other. Unlike their early years, it's all for the love of their act on stage played out in their music. Now that they are older its planed and it's choreographed.....just look at their fan base pissing and moaning about how Chris is being treated by Lindsey.<br /><br /> You got to love it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-59863085112103357912013-12-02T21:53:18.094-06:002013-12-02T21:53:18.094-06:00turn up your monitors!!!!!!!!turn up your monitors!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-79518571457698672132013-12-01T11:52:34.578-06:002013-12-01T11:52:34.578-06:00"I miss them all.

Putting outside fan pressure on a band member, corners (boxes) that member to answer questions from reporters about Chris rejoining FM.<br /><br />Knocking on the FM door was loud and clear and Yes “Can Go Back”.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfwgXT19WO0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-81007616521454793062013-11-28T09:15:07.119-06:002013-11-28T09:15:07.119-06:00Wow!! Some major thoughts and opinions here! Much ...Wow!! Some major thoughts and opinions here! Much of which I agree with. Although LB was part of the 5 who produced Rumours, Tango etc, I am not and never have been his biggest fan, with the exception of GYOW and a few others, he is a one trick pony, many songs sound the same and his voice is getting worse as he get's older, he sounds nothing like he ever did on the original recordings. I'd be very keen to hear more about the Christine situation as I think he should have no say in the matter, he always wants to hog the limelight but he should remember that Christine was there before him and was there after he left so what right does he have to question or comment on the return of such an iconic lady? If anything, he should be flattered and honoured to work with her again. <br />I'd also agree, although I love and adore Stevie, her voice isn't anywhere near what it used to be and certain songs shouldn't even be attempted anymore. I think Gypsy should be put on the shelf, it's embarrising when the backing singers take over the higher parts. <br />However, back to the main subject of the glorious Christine's possible return, well, let's remember some of their best known songs and who wrote them? Don't Stop, Little Lies, Everywhere, You Make Loving Fun, Say You Love Me, Over My Head, Hold Me etc. Most of these are instantly recognizable even to those who are not even fans and yet they're missing from the band's live set, with the exception of Don't Stop. Also, her harmonies cannot be replaced, not even by Stevie's very talented backing singers, Christine is a true professional musician and singer and she kept the other two grounded and in line way before FM had backing singers and that is the work of a real musician who knows their stuff. <br />I hate to sound so critical of my musical heroes but I think my point is that my heroes are not the real deal without Christine, and actually, I agree with others about loving the BTM line-up, those guys did some great renditions of some classic songs and we never had to suffer the ever lasting, wining I'm So Afraid. Sorry LB but you're not all that, and Ms McVie would be the best thing to happen to the band in the Autumn of their career.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-69558686190001870722013-11-26T15:41:08.281-06:002013-11-26T15:41:08.281-06:00it deserves 100 comments No need to worry any she ...it deserves 100 comments No need to worry any she will be backBriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-49196468965373153822013-11-26T14:02:19.369-06:002013-11-26T14:02:19.369-06:00Absolutely fantastic news.

They're huge role models for me and I feel so much less afraid to get "old" because it obviously doesn't mean anything except a few negative mean people might try to rain on your parade."<br /><br />I hate to break it to you, kid, but they ARE old. The baby of the group is 64. While that's not ancient, it still isn't a springs chicken. When even some of the band members themselves have talked about only one more album, there's no reason to expect fans to not talk about the very same thing. How many members of Fleetwood Mac have we lost already? Do you think it's unrealistic to think that anything could happen with any of the remaining members of the band? They won't live forever and Stevie is already apparently being plagued by some of the common problems of old age. She's been sick a lot the past few years leading to more than one cancelled show with both FM and her solo tours.<br /><br />I think it's great that the band members might feel they can go on forever but I think they are being optimistic and perhaps running on the adrenaline rush they get from being in front of a crowd. Both Stevie and Lindsey DO have serious range issues with their voices. As the poster above said, Stevie hides these issues by changing the songs to suit her limitations. If you are a new fan, you probably won't give it much thought, but those of us that have followed the band for years, even decades, we DO notice that. For me, personally, Sisters of the Moon was rubbish on this tour. Stevie's vocal limitations and tendency to shout her vocals these days stripped it of its intensity and power. It would have better been left on the shelf to be remembered for the amazing song it was back when she could still hit the all-important notes that gave it its power.<br /><br />We need to face it that the people who made the music that brought us all here have aged. They can't do some of the things they used to. That's just a fact of life. It happens to all musicians. Pick any long-term musician still in the business today and you will not hear the same now that you heard 20, 30 or 40 years ago.<br /><br />One album is all that Fleetwood Mac realistically has left in them. They better make it good. And to do that, they need Christine McVie if they want even a glimpse of the former magic they used to have. There will never be another Rumours because, as Brian said, that happens once in a lifetime. With her back, though, they might be able to come close. She can keep Lindsey's attitude in check. She might even be able to give Stevie a reason to care about the music again.<br /><br />Fleetwood Mac without Christine is a shadow of its former self.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-14168127447794149732013-11-24T16:50:31.705-06:002013-11-24T16:50:31.705-06:00"People should stop talking about them "..."People should stop talking about them "dying" and making a "last" album as if that were a factor in the first place.

Get a grip on yourself. <br /><br />If you think pointing out that someone is OLD is mean then you really need to stop reading. They are old. They could die. They may record a "last" album. There are far harsher truths than those that you need to face. Here's a couple now ... LB can't sing anymore and hides it by whispering and twiddling and humping his guitar. SN can't sing anymore either and hides it by changing songs to totally unrecognizable melodies and shouting lyrics.

She is sure about who she is and her music reflects it. The weird trips into Lindsey discovering new musical genres just don't work - his solo work is what it is but when he's back with 'The big machine' it suffers without Christine's musicality and I think Fleetwood Mac would be a more diverse and improved band than it has been on the tours without Christine.

The vocal key for Stevie is too high and I don't have any clue how this got past all of the band members. Again, musically it's goid and the background vocals are good.<br /><br />3.
