Its just a shame because he knows her so well and how she writes and what she's trying to say, he's been arranging her songs since they were teenagers. Even Christie said that she took a stab at Stevie's songs once and said she didnt have a effing clue what Stevie was talking about lol.<br />There is just so much baggage between him and her.

I admire Stevie, Londsay, Mick, Christie, and John for going through all they have and still loving the music and their fans. I would love to hear more B side less known songs live; but realistically unless you are at a special performance that will not happen. There are far too many fans not familiar with the non- radio Fleetwood Mac or Stevie. Half the prople I talk to don't know Mick Fleetwood and Fleetwood Mac wrote "Oh Well". I love to hear Stevie do Led Zeppelin.. there is so much writing talent in Stevie -- she has not lost it. Her and Lindsay could do a couple bucking ham and Nicks songs on the new album and it would sale! I'd do anything if that lp was on iTunes!!! Ultimately it is up to Stevie. I'll buy the album and attend the concert! A fan is a fan!

John has said he is tired of touring, Mick has said that it will be a couple more years, and Chris is 73. People were excited she came back, because we could finally hear Chris' songs live, and we would get a new album. After 40 some years, Stevie should be able to find a way to participate without interference from Buckingham, if it comes to that. To have such an intense hatred of someone for more than 40 years is a bit much. <br /><br />To blame things on albums sales is stupid. Everyone likes their work to be well received, but Fleetwood Mac has an established fan base, who I imagine are buying most of the records. I have heard that she hates to record, and this is one reason why the Buckingham Nicks album has not been put to CD. <br /><br />She is being selfish, but at 68, she has the right to be. If she doesn't want to record, then say good bye. Fleetwood Mac in their most in their 70s next year have the right to say they are moving on without her. It would be interesting to hear what a Buckingham McVie record would sound like as originally intended. Hopefully they would get an equal amount of songs, which is the way all of their albums have been. It probably wouldn't get great reviews. Same as "Say You Will," but it is a good record. <br /><br />24 Karat Gold was a waste. Some of the songs are good, but it was a " I gotta get out a solo record before the next tour, because that's what people expect of me." I watched the concert on Youtube (where I hear most new music) due to the expense of tickets and transport.<br /><br />Give people what they expect, then call it a day.

She would rather tour because its more fun, youre not holed up in a studio arguing and compromising and trying to get Your songs on the album the way you want them. Dealing with 2 other strong talented songwriters who are doing the same thing. And she hasnt had to do that in a Long time lol<br />She has her solo career, her own band etc she doesnt have to answer to anyone so its hard to go back to that scenario. The last album she was only at studio for less than a month. <br />Fleetwood Mac is more than the sum of its parts, as Lindsey likes to say.<br />But the 'chain' is only as strong as its weakest link, and if one pulls out it doesnt sound like the Mac, as we learned with Lindsey's, Stevie's and Chris's departures over the years.<br />Right now she holds the power, Hopefully she will bring some demos in and let Lindsey do his stuff lol<br />Sing on some tracks, etc. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-59848201502681694212016-12-16T15:08:39.080-06:002016-12-16T15:08:39.080-06:00the last album they did, say you will Lindsey wel...the last album they did, say you will Lindsey welcomed Stevie back to the studio with a song he had written for her return called 'sad angel' <br />basically it welcomed her back to the wars because he knew how hard it was on her being in studio....she was bored with all the work on instrumentation that she has no part in, tired of having to work/compromise/share on songs with a group with 2 other strong talented songwriters ( as opposed to her solo career, where everyone answered to her)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-23881575333194318672016-12-16T14:48:20.288-06:002016-12-16T14:48:20.288-06:00I think Stevie would have made it without Lindsey....I think Stevie would have made it without Lindsey. It's not as if she doesn't have any talent. Lindsey is too full of himself as it is. I wouldn't trust someone either if all they did was try to re-work the songs I had written. He is probably not very diplomatic about it either, since they were once involved so he probably deals with Stevie differently and in a different tone than he does with Christine. If Stevie wasn't logical, she wouldn't be as successful in her solo career as she is, which is more than can be said of Lindsey's solo career. If you go on Youtube and search for Stevie's demos, there is more than ample material for him to work with even if Stevie never wrote another song again.

His response to one of the student's questions was very telling. When asked how he approaches arranging Christine's songs as opposed to Stevie's, he said that there's really not much difference, except that he added, "It does help that somebody wants you to do it and trusts you to do it." <br /><br />I think that's the crux of it (apart from the possible lack of workable Stevie material). She doesn't want him to do it or trust him to do it anymore. I think she's nuts to be taking this stance since she never would have made it without him, but that's our kooky Stevie. Logic plays little part in her thinking.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405693681229685121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-72522758030960362092016-12-14T14:25:38.883-06:002016-12-14T14:25:38.883-06:00To the above Anonymous: You are merely speculating...To the above Anonymous: You are merely speculating why Stevie doesn't want to cut an album with Fleetwood Mac. I am sure she can still write wonderful songs and she has so many demos that she probably wouldn't need to. In case you didn't know, most of the songs on her solo efforts and Fleetwood Mac albums are from her demos. She may be tired of having to constantly combat Lindsey when he wants to change her songs. She has the right to keep her songs as they were written. This is why she enjoyed working with Dave Stewart. He would make suggestions and tell her to at least try it and if she didn't like it, that was fine. She has stated many times that her relationship with Lindsey isn't like that. She is also having a wonderful time on her current tour and it shows. As far as her being forgetful, it doesn't mean she is getting senile. Do you ever forget things? If you do, according to your own words, you are starting to get a little senile.Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294202920005720595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-38400040828178866552016-12-14T05:30:28.781-06:002016-12-14T05:30:28.781-06:00I never in my life thought I would be so angry wit...I never in my life thought I would be so angry with Stevie. If new albums don't sell, then why did she make "In Your Dreams" and "24 Karat Gold"? <br /><br />Mick should wait till the appropriate time and call her bluff. Tell her that without a new album the other four members of Fleetwood Mac don't simply want another greatest hits tour, they just did 135 show tour with Christine back. Mick should say if she won't take part in the album then he will announce to the press that Fleetwood Mac is over and done as a band because Stevie won't take part in the album. <br /><br />You would think she would love to go into the studio once more with them, particularly now that Christine is back, and to get to have the 3 singers all sing on each others songs. If she is afraid that she can't write up to par, then she should take a month and go write 3 songs with Dave Stewart and bring those to Fleetwood Mac to record. This is really sad, but I still think Mick should have the balls to make her realize she is ending Fleetwood Mac if she doesn't take part in a new album. Fans and radio would love a new record. There is no other classic band that radio would love to hear new music from than Fleetwood Mac. I hope she is made to understand, though on this current tour she is on you can tell she is staring to get a little senile and that is clouding her judgement. <br /><br />I hope Fleetwood Mac goes out in style with a new album and tour. But if not, then it should just be over.

She knows it would have to stand up to the Fleetwood Mac classics and doesn't want to put that much effort into it. Since Christine has already recorded songs with Lindsey helpng and he has said they are great, Stevie is even more afraid her songs won't be as good. This is sad, if she applied herself she could write three new great songs. There was enough really good songwriting on "In Your Dreams" to prove she still can write really great stuff. What a mistake it will be and will cause the entire band, especially Lindsey to resent her and then a tour would not be fun at all. She is not thinking clearly out of fear.

She is the key pass to arenas and other large venues. Her ticket selling prowess allows FM to travel effortlessly with a large support staff, personal assistants of all sorts and a fleet of private jets. The rest of the band is old enough and wealthy enough to call it quits rather than to endure traveling on a bus. She will tour. A new CD would be awesome but she has proven on her current tour that you can have a very successful tour by playing your lesser known deep album cuts demos and outakes which FM has a huge arsenal of just waiting to be played.
