Hard to say, if it is, it doesn't have THAT many instrumentals but who knows.
It seems like his dig about "If I knew I was going to do a productive tour in Europe" is his way of saying he wants the next FM tour to be a bigger tour and the others don't want to? I dunno, seems like that was his main motive in this quote more than anything but just shooting in the dark is all. John |

Well Jeremy is supposed to have a new album coming out if rumours are to be believed - from his site:
"While recording a CD in January 2010, I stuck mainly to a small brass flared slide and a ceramic 'Moonshine' slide for those numbers which I was singing and playing live with the band, and I used a 'Chrome Dome' for the instrumentals where a stronger 'presence' was needed for the thicker bass strings. " |

Also, it's sweet to know that (apparently) Jeremy let Mick listen to it prior to it being released. Good to think he might still be a valued ear. ETA: Also, it's kinda funny how the bulk of that album was about things that the Mac is NOT doing (thanks to Stevie) while Jeremy has a new album that's already made. Show 'em how it's done, Jeremy!

From comments that Jeremy has made in the past, I'd doubt we're looking at any studio or onstage collaborations any time soon.
It seems to me that Jeremy has little if any interest in playing the old FM material, which would invariably be the expectation if he and Mick are sharing the same stage. I just don't see it happening. As far as Mick's comments are concerned, I read it as Mick looking at another MFBB tour in Europe and Jeremy's band possibly opening, but that's pure speculation on my part. Jeremy opening for MFBB sounds more likely than Jeremy opening for the B/N line-up.

I just honestly don't see any kind of Mick/Jeremy "reunion" ever happening. Be it playing on the same bill or actually playing together in the same band. I just don't think Jeremy's into the idea. If you read his comments that he's made here, it sounds to me like he'd like to forget the whole "Fleetwood Mac thing" ever happened. He's definitely not any kind of "nostalgia buff" when it comes to FM. I asked him what he thought of the MFBB and specifically what he thought of Rick Vito as a guitarist (not in comparison to Peter or himself, just what he thought of Rick's skills) and he never even answered the question. Simply ignored it. That says a lot to me. Anyway, let's see what happens. It would be great to see the two of them on the same stage, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think Jeremy would do "it", if Peter was willing. Jerry knows it will never happen. As a guitar player Jeremy Spencer is playing his best today. His material is incredible!!! Spencer is a little sensitive to the "past", so he's hard to crack. The catch 22 of this idea is that Jeremy Spencer was the reason Fleetwood Mac hired Danny Kirwan. Without Kirwan, the future of FM is altered completely. There is no "Kiln House", "Future Games", or "Bare Trees". |

no future without the past
Dear Friends,
Did you ever want to reunite with your college roommates and do what you did back then again? Jeremy Spencer is a consumate slide player who can front his own band of his own choosing. What he chooses to do is his own. I find it hard to believe that any of our thoughts and wishes are the same as his. As far as his ego in this... He is a performer and he wouldn't be one without a ego. Mick one would suppose has one too and I am not entirely sure that when FM was formed that it was based on wht Mick thought should happen. sincerely, vinnie c |

My point is that I don't think that will ever happen because Jeremy doesn't seem to have any nostalgia whatsoever for that time in his life. So be it. As you say, Jeremy is a consumate slide player and fully capable of fronting his own band. What I think is the focus here is whether or not he and Mick would play together. Mick is obviously willing. Given the opportunity, I personally believe, Mick would re-unite the original FM and play until his arms fell off. He obviously has a desire to rekindle that era of his life, thus the formation of the MFBB. As far as college mates are concerned, I meet or at least have contact with a fair number of them regularly. We don't do what we used to. We've "grown up" as it were. We do, however, have a great time talking about what happened in our past and "re-living" it in that way at least. I honestly don't think any of my old mates would be interested in actually doing some of the things we used to do back in those days. We're older men with families now, not young/stupid kids who think we're indestructible. Honestly, I know we will never see an onstage or studio reunion of the original FM. It just won't happen. It is nice to dream, but really, that's all it will ever be. That era of FM has come and gone, never to be seen again. Sad, but true.

^^^I think that if Stevie is gonna hold up a new Mac album, that Mick should SERIOUSLY do an album with ALL the members of Fleetwood Mac: each song with its own writer and its own dynamic--but ALL with john/mick. That would be the perfect farewell. Of course, in my (pipe) dream of this, Lindsey would be the producer. I D K--it's something special that all 18(?) members of the Mac are still alive. And such a project would require little commitment.

Hello True Faith: I think you have a great idea! FM is very fortunate to have all members still around, and most of them still making music. A "farewell" CD with contributions from all the singer/songwriters would be welcome (and probably very successful). It's likely to be wishful thinking for us, but I think it would be great! Best regards, Madelow.

Would I love if Peter Green's FM featuring Jeremy Spencer got back together and play their old stuff? You bet I would. I think the idea of doing a collaborative album with all of the living and playing members is a nice one. John Mayall did a nice one a few years back called "Along For The Ride" which sadlly did not include Eric Clapton among others but did have Mayall, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green on the same song (along with Steve Miller) but not in the same studio at the same time The cut is called "YO YO Man. I found out , to my chagrin when I was able to ask about the ccut to John McVie on this site, that he had no idea that Peter green was on the song with him. so it is fair to say a lot of legwork would need to be done to pull off such a feat again. vinnie c |

The biggest rift to mend isn't between Jeremy Spencer, and Peter Green; it's John McVie, and Peter Green. After all these years, John McVie is still angry that Peter Green tried to convince (then) Christine Perfect not to marry John. At the time Peter had his points, and he turned out to be correct. McVie was a raging alcoholic, as he was in Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Peter didn't drink at the time, so he felt above John with his "drugs of choice". In return, John McVie has convinced everyone (with Mick Fleetwood) that Peter Green completely lost his mind in Munich 3/70. The truth is in the middle. Peter's attitude towards music changed during early 1970, yet he played some of his best concerts in April of 1970. Green was not Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, or Skip Spence. Green's decline was gradual. While LSD may have triggered Peter's illness, it may have taken longer to develop if he never took hallucinogens. I reference the picture of John McVie kissing the side of Peter Green's head. It shows that McVie, and Green were very close friends at that time. I think Green's failed "intervention" may have altered Fleetwood Mac for the worse, at least for 1970-72. |
